“We cannot say enough good things about Kristen! She was dependable, a great communicator, administered medication flawlessly, and became a safe person for our cat while we were away. He absolutely loved her and we will definitely be reaching out again!”
About: I’ve had cats, dogs, fish, rabbits, a horse, hamsters…. Just about any pet you could imagine. I love them all. I’ve taken care of not only my own animals but also those of friends, neighbors and family. I’ve potty trained several of my own dogs as well as palliative care for older dogs. I am an older guy with time on my hands. I really enjoy being with animals. I would like to spend the majority of my day giving attention and care when owners feel they need a little help. I treat all animals with empathy, kindness and love. My animals are cared for 24 hours a day. Play and fun are as important as food and water.
About: I grew up on a farm and have cares for different animals . From chickens all the way to Race Horses. I showed Boston Terries in the AKC realm along with training my German Short Hair Pointers for field exercises. I’ve had past experience with cats, Guinea Pigs and a Russian Tortoise . I’ve been a long time bird owner which includes Cockatiels and English Budgies. I’m currently retired and have a good bulk of time that I can provide to your animal(s) . I can provide daily scheduled care . If weekends are needed that would need to be discussed . I will take care of your pets to the exact instructions I’m given . Keeping with detail and your pets schedule . If you need any house plants watered or very light cleaning I would be willing to lend a hand . There would be a charge for the light cleaning and a discussion for what needs cleaned.
“Maria was fantastic! She came over and met us before we left so we could go over the details. Our cat Keke has separation anxiety and is never without someone at home. She warmed up to Maria right away and they were besties by the end of the week!”
“We enjoyed meeting Mariah and she took fantastic care of both of our cats while we were gone on vacation. We had her come by twice a day to feed and play with Scooter and Kris. She stayed in touch with us with questions and photos. You can tell that she enjoys spending time with and taking care of animals. We will definitely be using Mariah’s services again!”
About: I have experience working in an animal shelter so I know how to care for and manage animals of all ages, sizes, and temperaments. I have also ridden horses from a very young age so no animal is too small or large for me! I am currently a part-time student so I have a flexible schedule but I am most available on Mondays, Wednesdays, Fridays, as well as on the weekends. I provide them loving and attentive care by following each pet’s routine, keeping them comfortable and safe, maintaining a clean environment and by of course giving them plenty of affection.
About: I have loved taking care of dogs and cats since age 10. My friends and family always know they can call me first to watch their furry friends. They have described me as being reliable and trustworthy but also someone that genuinely cares for animals. I currently offer drop-in visits and dog walking. Here's a breakdown of my schedule. Monday-Friday: Available after 4:00 PM. Weekends: Fully available for drop-ins! I’ll always do my best to accommodate your pet’s needs and keep you updated with plenty of pics and love while you’re away. 🐾 Your pet’s safety is always my top priority. I treat every animal in my care with the same love and attention I give my own. I make sure doors are secure, food and water are fresh, and your pet is happy, safe, and comfortable at all times. You can count on regular updates and total peace of mind while you’re away.
About: I have owned 3 dogs and a cat in my life. My ex-fiancée and I owned a Siamese cat that we adopted from the OKC Animal Shelter. We previously fostered two kittens. I'm reliable, accountable, and punctual! And above all, I am CPR certified for both humans and animals. You can count on me! I'm currently working full-time and do Rover on the side, but I will absolutely try to work around your needs! I am open to any and all animals! Let me know what availability you have and we can work with that! I do have a cat crate and some cat treats and toys. I do also have dog treats and chew toys. I am very gentle and know how to approach animals in a way that does not make me appear threatening and will earn their trust.
About: I have worked with dogs specifically for about 3 years and some months. I’ve done Boarding/Daycare as well as Bathing. (this is where most of my experience comes from) I’ve bathed, brushed, and even trimmed nails of dogs of all kinds and ages for 2-3 years. Even though my boarding and daycare experience is new, I did enjoy it very much and I follow instruction well as long as they are direct and clear. I have extreme patience when it comes to learning the behaviors of our pets, I know not all dogs or cats are the same and they all have their boundaries and different personalities that make them special to us and I respect that. I love cats of all breeds as well. Believe it or not as much as I have dealt with all breeds I personally LOVE the big breeds, I do not mind hair or drool! (of both cats and dogs) I also have 3 cats and a Husky who is soon to turn 4! I will admit I do not know everything again every animal is different but I am willing to learn and adapt to what you and your pets need or want. Anything to make them happy and comfortable will always be my main goal. If you have any questions or concerns plz do not hesitate to reach out!! I am working part time at a retail in fairlawn BUT I would be willing to change and adapt my schedule for the right person. Let’s talk about what you need and go from there! All of my animals have a routine in my home. My Husky will get water before his food (he won’t even touch his food before we go outside lol) after I take him out to our lil dog park (at my apt) I then give him his food , After that I go and give my cats their water and food and clean their litter boxes (and their room) Then after my husky finishes his food for exercise we go on an hour or so walk (if you have a husky you understand lol) I am very clean dependent , I do not like a messy environment I am constantly sweeping and cleaning my apt to try and keep it as clean as possible with four pets. I do crate my husky whenever I leave , we’ve been doing as such since he was a pup!
“Emily did a fantastic job. I received lots of pictures and feedback. My critters were totally relaxed when I came home. The house was in great order. They had plenty of food and water. The boxes were clean. Emily went out of her way to help me feel comfortable about leaving them. She did a great job and I couldn't have asked for any better.”
About: I've grown up with animals my whole life, always having a cat and/or dog around! I love my family pets dearly, and since I live far away from them now, I am missing the connection with a furry friend. I have lived with and helped raise my current dog and cat since they were babies all the way to their current old ages. I used to check on my neighbors pets, they had 4 in total--two dogs (one senior), two cats. I would take the dogs outside for bathroom and run around time, as well as feed them lunch. Cats are elusive, so I just made sure they had food and fresh water available. I'd also stay extra time to dole out all the affection the animals needed before mom and dad got home. Currently I care for 8 fish in my 20 gallon fish tank! I'm in college at the moment but my schedule is open in the afternoons/evenings. Monday I have classes at 11 am so I can do a morning check. Tuesday, Wednesday, Thursday I spend the morning student teaching so I am available after 1-1:30 pm for checks, Tuesday and Thursday I have a class from 6-7 pm. Friday I have only one commitment from 3-5 pm so I can do morning checks and afternoon/evening checks. Weekends are mostly open, occasionally I have events. I cannot care for your pet in my own home, but I am more than willing to care for your pet in your home. Pets are usually more comfortable with a new person when they are in their own territory. As long as I know the rules for taking care of your pet, I will be able to give you and your pet a positive care experience.
About: I’m currently living on campus at my college and I come from a company in my hometown called HomeWard Bound which is a pet-care company that is very similar to Rover. I have many months of experience which lead me to enjoy this job and wanting to continue it when I live on campus. Over the summer I will be mainly free since my priority is occupying my time with taking care of animals and learning more about them! I care with patience and trust. I allow the pet to warm up to me if needed, no forcing. I follow instructions thoroughly since I have experience from taking care of numerous amount of animals.
About: I’ve taken care of animals basically my whole life! I’ve never had a period of time without a cat and/or dog in my house (as well as fish and hermit crabs!). Ever since I’ve been able to, I helped care for the family pets (walking, grooming, feeding etc). Now I have two kitties that I love very much! I also used to walk my neighbors’ dogs about 10 years ago when I was 13 and all throughout high school. Additionally, I’ve done longer term pet sitting for friends going on trips several times. I take care of my animals everyday of course! I feed my cats daily, clean their litter boxes everyday, and make sure their water fountain is full. Weekly they get brushed, and they get baths as needed. I will comply to whatever your house rules are! Whatever your fur babies need, I’m here for! I want to make sure they are happy, healthy and their needs are met. My goal is to keep your space nice and clean and your pets content and cared for.

About: i’ve had pets my whole life and i’ve always loved them. i’ve loved taking care of them and loving them. i’d love to take care of yours too. i work part time and go to school august-may but i still have plenty of time to help take care of your pet. my schedule changes but i can always fit in the time for a fuzzy friend. i have a nice home that has good space and my parents have a big yard i can also take them to. i enjoy walks too!
About: growing up with a family dog, i’ve always looked forward to our long walks! since i've moved to care for my grandma and can’t have a pet at my current home, i’m looking to be the dedicated adventure buddy your pup deserves! i’m an avid walker who cleans up after your pet and loves exploring local parks and trails. i’m just as comfortable handling a brisk, high energy trek as i am a slow, 'sniff heavy' stroll for seniors or 4 legged friends who love getting distracted! all sizes welcome: i absolutely love dogs of all sizes, from tiny pups to extra large breeds. if you have a giant dog, you are in safe hands here! being a taller, sturdily built person gives me a natural physical advantage and a grounded presence :) i don't get easily knocked off balance or intimidated by heavy pullers, meaning your big dogs get the steady, confident, and secure handling they need! hot weather: for dog-friendly clients, i am able to provide low-stress trips to uncrowded, pet-friendly stores/facilities for stimulation and enrichment (including a potty break outside before and after, of course!). i am also happy to walk earlier/later in the day to avoid the heat as well! i also enjoy keeping pets company in-home, whether it's playing with toys, using lick mats, or just spending some time together! my growing services & training: i am now certified in dog training, and offer a train & walk bundle if you're interested!! :) my ultimate goal is to become a true one-stop shop for your dogs, so i am also currently working toward learning professional grooming to add to my services soon! because i work evening and overnight shifts, i have guaranteed availability every morning and midday for your dog’s routine. whether you need a recurring daily walker or a same-day visit because you’re running late, i'm local and ready to jump in! my current job is closing in a few months, so i’ll be even more available for your schedule soon :) in public, i use a short-leash grip, stay hyper-aware of our surroundings without distractions like phones/technology of any kind (aside from photos, of course!), and avoid unknown dogs to keep your pup protected. i pride myself on being a trustworthy, punctual communicator, providing frequent photo updates so you’re always in the loop. i am very confident in my ability to kennel/leash pets & i consider myself well-versed in administering medication. i am keen when reading animal stress signals, ensuring your pet feels safe and understood under my care! as of august ive completed my initial dog training certification and continue learning to better my understanding and confidence in dog training :)
About: My experience with dogs isn't just a hobby; it's a core part of my daily life. As a proud dog owner myself, I have years of firsthand, 24/7 experience managing everything that comes with a happy pup—from daily walks and feeding routines to understanding dog behavior and, most importantly, giving plenty of love and attention. I also have experience providing overnight care for other people's dogs. I know how important it is to create a calm, safe, and comfortable environment for a dog in a new space, and I'm committed to maintaining your dog's schedule to make them feel secure and right at home. I am currently a college student and I am looking to earn extra cash over my breaks when I am visiting home and I do have a lot of free time. When your dog stays with me, they are treated like a member of my own family. My goal is to be their "home away from home."

We were so lucky to choose Tara to take care of our two cats. We knew from the moment we met her that she loves cats. I loved her updates with each visit letting us know how each cat was doing. We have one cat who is very shy and she hid under the bed for over a week while we were gone. Tara sat and laid on our bedroom floor and talked to our cat who was under the bed trying to make her feel safe, comfortable and loved. She also provided our other cat with her medicine and lots of pets. Tara was so excited when Maui came out and even more excited when she got to pet her. I could tell in her messages how happy and excited she was to have gotten Maui to trust her. It takes a true pet lover to take that much time to make an animal feel safe. The house was perfect when we came home and the cats looked great. We were gone for two weeks and knew that our cats were being taken care of by someone who treated them and loved them like they were her own. Tara is excellent and a true blessing.
Miranda was amazing! We had a last minute change of plans and she not only jumped in to help, she treated our pets like her own, sent great pictures, and provided thorough updates while we were away. We would recommend Miranda to anyone who is looking for a sitter! Thanks again, Miranda!
Jennifer is outstanding. She is impeccable. Scheduling, communication, attention to feeding, watering and other details caring for our home, daily reports, daily pictures, and most of all…she has a natural love for pets and they love her. Our little kitty adores Jennifer. Jennifer has an amazing calmness and gentle touch about her. On each visit our kitty trots to greet Jennifer, she adores the affectionate pets and wonderful play times. We’d change our vacation schedule if we couldn’t get Jennifer. She is that good! :-)
I trust Audrey and would highly recommend her services. The first reason is my cat loves her. I have two and the second cat hides. The second reason is she is communicative and always responds, which is important to me. I also love her pictures she takes and when I travel always trust my cats are well taken care of.

Frequently asked questions about Rover
The average cost of Cat Sitting in Stow is $22 per visit as of November 2026. Most bookings cost between $15 and $33 per visit. On Rover, sitters set their own rates based on factors such as their experience, the length of care, the number of pets, and your pet’s specific needs. As long as your booking dates and pet profiles are accurate, the price shown before you confirm is the total, including any booking fee.

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.

- 88% of sitters can help with special care needs

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.
