About: I started dog/house sitting in 2015 and am looking to get back into it! As a long time horse person, I am great with setting clear boundaries and expectations and will help to maintain your pets training. Please let me know if you need some help with your furry friends! I’m actively available for all your pet care needs! Feel free to reach out same day if you have an emergency need. Please feel free to reach out if you need in home care or daily walks. I will come to your home and treat it and your pets with the utmost respect, as if they were my own. For overnight stays, I would prefer at least 72 hours notice and to do a pre-visit to go through all the details.

About: I was a mama to my Olde English Bulldogge boy Lolek for 11 years. I have 3 dogs, a 2 year old Bull Terrier female named Koko, an almost 2 year old Cockapoo named Nala and a handsome boy named Zane that is a Bernedoodle Pit-Bull mix. I’m a homeschool mama with a flexible schedule. I homeschool my kids so I have a very flexible schedule. I am available during the week as well as the weekend. I only my be unavailable for services between 5pm-7pm as I may be taking my kids to extracurricular activities. I have 2 dogs at home so I welcome pets that get along with other animals. I have a 1.7 acre unfenced yard and love walks in my neighborhood and playtime in my yard. My dogs are crated during the night and when I am not home. I welcome pets that sleep in the crate during the night but also can accommodate well trained sleepers that need a bed or sofa. I can train your pup with simple commands and can give a bath as needed (for extra cost). I do have a dog kennel outside that I can use to let the pets I care for safely run around and play with each other.

About: Hi! I'm a life-long animal lover and advocate who has been working professionally with animals for 7 years now. I specialize in cats and dogs— but I also have experience with reptiles, birds, rabbits, rats, guinea pigs, fish, insects, frogs, and wildlife. I adore all animals, and my training includes seniors, puppies and kittens, and any and all animals with specific training, behavioral, dietary, or medical needs. Thank you so much, and I'm looking forward to meeting you and your furry friends! :) As someone with a part-time remote job, I have plenty of free time to dedicate to your animals! I am extremely flexible and am willing to work around your needs. I will follow your instructions and preferences for your pet's care, with open communication, transparency, and frequent updates! I know pets are all very unique, with their own quirks and individual needs, and I am ready to handle any situation that arises, or any specific requests that you may have. :)

About: Hi! Animals have always been important in my life. I grew up in Brooklyn feeding and befriending a feral cat colony in my backyard, so I started caring for animals at a young age and never looked back. I am the only person in my household who will be responsible for your pets! From 2014 to 2023 I worked as an LVT in a variety of clinic and hospital settings. I'm comfortable with subcutaneous injections (including fluid administration), wound care, administering medications, and generally any at-home treatments that your veterinarian would put in their discharge instructions (cleaning ears, changing a wound bandage, paw soaks, etc) If you have a dog or cat with special needs, including a senior pet, they already have a special place in my heart and I'd love to meet them. Over the years, I've done seasonal pet-sitting/dog-walking as well as caring for the pets of friends and family when needed. I'm a stay-at-home mom, cat butler, and chicken tender. My son started pre-K in September, so my availability during the week is typically 8:30-4, with some flexibility. I can also be available for evening visits/walks and specific weekends if booked in advance In my home, dogs and cats are allowed on furniture. We have 3 acres for leashed walks, as well as plenty of safe neighborhoods and parks nearby. Our home has a separate downstairs living space with its own bathroom and doors to the outside. I've raised 8 chickens on our property so far and last year my husband and I adopted two female Sphynx kittens, Nosy and Yaya.

About: What sets me apart is my patience, compassion, and ability to make every pet feel safe, loved, and comfortable. I have experience caring for dogs of all sizes, from tiny puppies to large breeds and senior dogs. I’m comfortable administering medication, following specific care routines, and helping puppies learn basic skills through simple training and positive reinforcement. I understand that every dog has a unique personality and different needs, so I take the time to get to know each pet and make sure they receive personalized care and attention. Your pet’s safety, happiness, and well-being are always my top priorities. I want every pet parent to feel confident knowing their furry family member is in caring, responsible, and loving hands! ❤️🐶 As a college student with a genuine love for animals, I’m working toward making pet care my full-time career. I have a flexible schedule and am currently available on Mondays from 8:00 AM–12:00 PM and 2:00–5:00 PM, Wednesdays 11:00AM-12:00PM and 2:00PM-5:00PM, and Fridays until 5:00PM. I’m also available on Saturdays and Sundays, with Tuesdays and Thursdays opening up for services soon! 🐾 I can accommodate morning, afternoon, and evening visits depending on the day. My goal is to provide reliable, attentive, and loving care while making sure every pet feels safe, happy, and comfortable. I look forward to building lasting relationships with pets and their families and giving every furry friend the care and attention they deserve! ❤️🐶🐱 Your pet’s safety, comfort, and happiness are always my top priorities! 🐾❤️ For my 20-, 30-, and 40-minute dog walks, I make sure pets are securely leashed, closely supervised, and walked at a pace that suits their age, size, and energy level. I pay attention to their surroundings and always prioritize their safety while giving them time to exercise, explore, and enjoy themselves. For my 30-minute drop-in visits, I provide attentive, loving care based on your pet’s individual needs. This can include feeding, refreshing their water, bathroom breaks, playtime, companionship, and following any special instructions you provide. I’m also comfortable administering medication when needed. I respect your home, follow your instructions carefully, and understand how important it is to trust someone with your furry family member. I’m happy to provide updates and photos during visits so you can have peace of mind while you’re away. My goal is to make every visit a positive experience and treat your pet with the same love, patience, and care I would give my own! 🐶🐱💕

“I cannot say enough good things about the experience of working with Aiste, Chris and Lincoln. Best possible solution for a doting cat Mom who has a hard time leaving her only young cat for a few days of desperately needed vacation time. The humans (Aiste and Chris) are both warm, welcoming and accommodating - they sent nice updates with photos that put my mind at ease day after day so I could really unwind. They were happy to follow my lead and met me where I was at with communication, and first longer time away jitters. Lincoln the wonder pup (such a love!!!) - he and my JJ had an amazing time together! My kitty loves people and pups and other cats too. Lincoln and he were an amazing match. They made for great companions and I got such a kick out of seeing them getting to know each other and bond. Warmed my heart and allowed me to relax knowing that JJ was on his own holiday with this great new friend! It was such a relief to have lots of companionship from all 3 (2 people + 1 pup) and updates to know all was going well. I was able to truly enjoy some time away! Great great great experience with this amazing family of care takers!! 🫶🏼❤️😊😻 Looking forward to working with them again! Thank you 🙏🏼❤️”

About: I’ve cared for Great Danes, doodles, labs, hounds, puppies, kittens, cats, turtles and gerbils and everything in between my entire life. Your pet is in the best possible hands! I work from home in a very dog and cat friendly building with amazing walking paths and dog parks in very short distance. I love the outdoors and it would be my pleasure to take your furry one out for frequent walks, runs and play time. I have a lot of flexibility with my schedule and it’s the perfect environment for your fluffy cat. If you prefer your pet to stay at home, I’m happy to come and offer my attention there as well! I offer a safe, calm, loving environment where your pet can cuddle on the sofa or play tug of war with their stuffy. I have had dogs my entire life, puppies to seniors and have cat sat for my bestie for 10 years for her two cats as she traveled extensively. I can manage medications (including insulin shots for dogs and cats), special diets, frequent walks, a clean, neat environment (I have a small dog of my own that I share with my ex so could either look after your pet with or without her, depending on your comfort level). Your fur baby can roam free in my two bedroom apartment and I love cuddles on the couch and sleeping in the bed with me without a problem!

Dianna & Shea are beyond wonderful pet sitters. They are thoughtful and attentive to our cat Scout in a genuine way, it never feels like they’re just going through the motions. They’re excellent communicators, sending photos and notes throughout their stay. Not only will we book them again for our own future needs, we would not hesitate to recommend them to anyone in the area looking for pet care.

FAQs for Cat Sitting - Sterling Forest

Frequently asked questions about Rover

As of November 2026, there are 634 sitters on Rover offering Cat Sitting across Sterling Forest. Enter your ZIP code to see which available sitters are closest to your home.

Cat sitters on Rover care for your cats’ needs and can spend quality time with them, including activities like feeding, playing, and refreshing their water and litter boxes. Depending on your arrangement, you can schedule as many visits per day as your cat needs or find a sitter who can stay at your house overnight. Some sitters also board cats in their home.

House sitting can be ideal for cats who need socialization or care that lasts longer than a few hours. Your cat stays in their own home, on their own schedule, with care based on what you and your sitter agree on together.

Many pet parents provide a spare key or arrange a lockbox. You can also exchange keys during the Meet & Greet and show your walker how to use digital fobs or personalized codes. It helps to arrange access to your home, from spare keys to concierge introductions, before pet care begins.

If you live in an apartment or condo, don’t forget to discuss details like buzzer access, codes, or elevator etiquette. These details can help a pet sitter feel more comfortable going in and out of your building.

Every sitter on Rover is required to pass a background check before listing their services. This process confirms their identity and indicates they are not on the Department of Justice’s National Sex Offender Public Website or have any disqualifying offenses.

Beyond ID checks, you can review each sitter's star rating, read verified reviews from other pet parents, and see how many repeat clients they have. Every booking is backed by the Rover Guarantee, which includes up to $25,000 in eligible veterinary care. For more details, visit Rover's Trust & Safety page.

The Rover Guarantee is Rover’s commitment to your peace of mind every time you book. It includes 24/7 customer support, sitter access to advice from qualified veterinary professionals for diagnostic issues, and a reimbursement program for eligible veterinary care in the rare event something goes wrong.

All bookings are backed by the Rover Guarantee, which provides up to $25,000 in eligible veterinary care reimbursement.

A Meet & Greet is a casual meeting to vet potential sitters and communicate care needs for peace of mind before a booking begins. Only sitters who have never booked with you before can schedule a Meet & Greet on Rover; however, you are welcome to coordinate one in Rover messages with sitters you have previously booked. This can be helpful if you have a new pet or routine you want to go over with your sitter.

Meet & Greets can take place in person or virtually. If you are booking with a sitter for the first time, we recommend in-person Meet & Greets to get a clearer sense of how your sitter interacts with your pet or the new environment.

During the Meet & Greet, you will have a chance to walk through your pet's routine, medical needs, and unique quirks. Take the time to ask your sitter questions about their skills and expertise, and make sure the fit feels right for everyone. Meet & Greets are a great way to prepare your pet and sitter for longer stays or first-time bookings. Read our tips for your first Meet & Greet.

Yes, you can find sitters who have experience with handling special pet needs in Sterling Forest. On Rover:

  • 87% of sitters can help with special care needs
  • 90% can help with giving oral medications or injections
  • 92% can help with daily exercise

You can also find pet sitters on Rover who accept only one pet at a time, which is ideal for anxious puppies, kittens, or senior pets who move at a gentler pace. Some sitters will also list availability for 24/7 care, also known as constant care, in their profiles.

Use the search filters to narrow down sitters whose specific experience or environment meets your pet's needs. When reaching out to your sitter, outline your pet's care routine and use the Meet & Greet to walk your sitter through your expectations.

sitters on Rover set their own cancellation policy, which you can find on their profile under their contact information. Sitters may set a same-day, one-, three-, or seven-day cancellation policy. Cancelling within your sitter’s cancellation policy qualifies you for a full refund.

Same-day cancellations for recurring services, which include walks, drop-ins, and day care, follow the full refund policy. Otherwise, for pet boarding and house sitting, if you cancel after 12 pm on the applicable cancellation deadline, you’ll receive a 50% refund for the first seven days of the booking and a 100% refund for any remaining days.

If your sitter needs to cancel within seven days of the booking's start date, then our reservation protection will kick in. This means you will get a full refund and our support team will work with you to find a replacement sitter.
