“Talia was absolutely amazing I cannot recommend enough!! She communicated wonderfully and took the time to get to know my cat’s personality. The pictures were great and I felt relaxed on my vacation knowing that Talia was giving my cat some love / cuddle time. 10/10 would recommend!!”
About: I have been around animals my whole life and have experience for dogs of all sizes and personalities, as well as cats. I am also comfortable with fish, reptiles, and other small pets, so I can cover any additional pets other than dogs and cats. What sets me apart is that I treat every pet as an individual. Whether your pets loves walks, or playing, or just company to hang out with, I’ll make sure to give them the care they need, as well as the style they prefer. I know how stressful it can be to leave a pet with someone else, so I value communication above all. Whether it be photos, quick updates, or detailed summaries of each visit, I prioritize a clean and quick path of communication, from the moment my services are required, the moment they’re complete. I am currently out of school and starting a full-time job in late August, so this summer is very open for me. I do not currently have a part-time position, so my days are super open and I will take all work offered to me. I live in Wayne, with a large, fenced-in yard, around a spacious and clean home. I have siblings, all of which have as much experience with and love for animals as I do. With my siblings being in school and having sports and jobs, and my parents having work, the house is usually completely empty anyways. We are the ‘go-to’ house when any family or friends need a pet-sitter, so we’re all very comfortable dogs of all sizes and personalities.
“Honestly, one of the easiest and luckiest experiences I’ve ever had doing something for the first time. I’ve never used rover and was quite apprehensive about it, but Daphne made it so simple and easy for us! Was very transparent and communication was superb! Would highly recommend choosing Daphne for any pet service and will definitely be utilizing her again in the future! 10/10 ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️”
About: I have lots of experience caring for all kinds of pets! I’ve worked with trainers for reactive dogs (I have one of my own), and I also care for a senior cat with complex needs. I love all animals. Because I create my own schedule for nursing, I often have days and nights free for pet care! I have a car and can fit all sorts of animal care needs into my schedule. When caring for your pets, I will spend lots of time playing, giving them cuddles, and taking them outside when needed. I will make sure they are happy.
“Allison is AMAZING! She provided detailed updates of our cats every day of our long trip, including multiple pictures and any updates regarding medication administration, their overall demeanor, and their level of sass (which is important to us, haha). She did two practice runs of medication administration for our senior cat before our trip, as well, which we are immensely grateful for!”
“Talia was amazing! I booked her last minute and she made everything work very smoothly. You can tell she genuinely cares, everything felt easy and stress-free from the start. My cats got along great with her! I’d absolutely recommend booking her!”
“Alexandra was professional and friendly throughout the booking process, very kind and attentive with our quirky senior dog. She communicates clearly and frequently, and does a fantastic job! Highly recommend her to anyone.”
“Joanna was great. I booked her to drop in to walk my dog. I appreciate her good communication and her follow-up, including a picture and details of her visit. I have already booked her again.”
About: Hi, I'm Jen! I've been caring for all different types of animals all my life and I would love the opportunity to spend some time with your pet! I currently own a horse and a cat. I work from home so I have a very flexible schedule that allows walks or playtime throughout the day. I've been caring for and walking dogs professionally for 7 years. I have experience with all different sizes, ages and temperaments. I have a wide range of knowledge on different types of harnesses and how to handle any stressful situations that may arise during our time together. In case of emergency, I have a car and will always be able to get your pet to their vet or nearby animal hospital. I am also able to provide any type of medication your pet may need. I love to provide photo updates to the owner during my walks/visits. Because of the many years of experience I've had with horses, I believe I am well equipped to care for a variety of animals. I hope you'll trust me to care for your pet like my own. I work from home and am able to provide walks/playtime throughout the day. I have a car so I can travel to you or bring your dog to a park or walk on a path. Whatever you are comfortable with. I live in a nice community where I am able to take dogs on long safe walks. If you need in home care, I am open to drop ins or hosting at my apartment. My cat is very respectful and is used to other animals.
“Mey is the absolute best. So patient and kind with our guy, and very thoughtful and professional with us. You can sense the compassion and mutual respect, and we have loved every minute of having her drop in. Thank you so!”
“Marisa was fantastic, especially helping out on Easter! She fed dinner, spent quality time playing outside, and sent photos and videos that showed just how happy and relaxed our goldendoodle was. She was prompt, stayed for the full visit, and clearly put care and attention into every detail. We also really appreciated the meet-and-greet beforehand—it made the whole experience even more comfortable. Highly recommend her!”
About: I have cared for dogs and cats for friends, family, and neighbors for years, and genuinely love spending time with animals. I also have a cat of my own, so I understand how important it is to find someone trustworthy and dependable to care for your pets while you are away. I have experience with pets of different sizes, energy levels, and personalities, including shy pets, high-energy dogs, and senior animals. I am organized, reliable, and communicative, and I always prioritize following each pet owner’s instructions closely. I know how important it is to trust the person caring for your pet, so I provide regular updates and photos throughout visits and stays. I am available for walks, drop-in visits, and house sitting Sundays after 3 PM, all day Mondays and Tuesdays, and Wednesdays until the evening. I can also be flexible if last-minute changes are needed. Your pet’s safety, comfort, and routine are always my top priorities. I carefully follow all instructions provided by pet owners, including feeding schedules, medications, walk routines, crate instructions, and any behavioral or safety considerations. I understand how important consistency is for pets, especially when their owners are away, so I always try to keep their routine as normal and stress-free as possible. I also provide regular communication, updates, and photos so you always know how your pet is doing. When caring for pets in a client’s home, I am respectful, clean, dependable, and focused on creating a calm and safe environment for your pet.
“Jacob was extremely detailed and asked questions I hadn’t thought of in order to make sure my girl had the most positive experience! I am extremely pleased with Jacob’s work.”
About: What sets me apart is my genuine love and hands on experience with both dogs and cats. As a pet parent to one dog and three cats, some with health issues, I’ve learned how to give medication, manage special diets, and provide calm, attentive care. I know how tough it is to be away from your pets, so thank you for trusting me to be there for them and give them the love and comfort they need while you’re gone! I am available Monday through Friday 9am to 5 pm anytime. If other days are needed don’t he’s to ask as I might have availability on the weekends as well! I live on the end of a cul-de-sac with no main road so I am able to allow your fur babies to run around in my backyard without any danger
About: I’ve had a dog for two years now and he is my favorite thing in the world. I am good with walks and staying over to watch any type of dog or other pet. I am free most days of the week so feel free to reach out anytime! I will try to get back to you as soon as possible. I care for pets by playing with them, making sure they are properly fed, and always keeping an eye on them so nothing goes wrong
““I’m so grateful for the wonderful care Julia provided for my pets while I was away. They sent regular updates and photos, followed all feeding instructions perfectly, and really took the time to make my animals feel comfortable. I came home to happy, relaxed pets and a tidy house. I couldn’t ask for anything better!””

Lauren was perfect! I really appreciated her communication and commitment to checking in on my cat. She sent me pictures as well as an update on the visit. I am such a nervous wreck when it comes to leaving my cat, it felt so nice knowing someone was there and actually cared. Would hire again!
Julie did a wonderful job taking care of my cats while I was gone, providing plenty of pictures for me and engagement for them. She was also willing to work with me to get through my building's byzantine security system, which I appreciated. She made my first extended trip away from my cats a stress free experience.
Aaren is wonderful! This was our first time trying an in home sitter and she did an incredible job. She is super communicative & responsible, and always sent photos and updates. We 100% would trust Aaren to take care of our cat in the future. Thank you Aaren!
Emma was wonderful in taking care of my two cats while we were away. She was reliable, followed through on everything she said she would do, and reached out with questions whenever needed. She kept all of the litter boxes clean and, most importantly, spent quality time playing with my cats so they had interaction and enrichment while we were gone. It gave me great peace of mind knowing they were so well cared for. I would happily book Emma again and highly recommend her!
Katherine was AMAZING!! The photos she sent were so good I think I might hang them on my wall! She was responsive to messages, timely, friendly, and my pets clearly loved her! (And she drew a cool picture of my dog that my kids and I loved! My son attributed it to her and put it on his art wall.)
Thank you again Soraya for the great care you provided to Kiara!! she really likes you! you kept me informed and I was very confident she was well during my vacation! I appreciate what you did, helping me with her vet (food) recommendations and following all instructions. Thank you again
Morgan asked detailed questions and updated me with info and pictures throughout the visit. She took her time getting to know our cats to allow them to get comfortable enough to even pet them and interact with them. She was great and took great care of our 2 cats and 2 bunnies!
Marisa is the best pet sitter I have ever known. She’s accountable, sweet and a very good listener. We extended our trip and she was so accommodating. Her videos came over at the same times each morning and evening and made our trip so enjoyable because we saw how happy our cats were with Marisa.

As of July 2026, there are 4,601 sitters on Rover offering Cat Sitting across Strafford. 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 short introductory meeting between you, your cat, and a sitter. It can take place in person or virtually, although we recommend in-person so that your pet can get to know your sitter 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. Most pet parents and sitters on Rover welcome Meet & Greets because the process can give confidence and peace of mind for service experiences, especially for longer stays or first-time bookings.

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 calendar availability.
Cancelling before a booking begins and before the sitter's cutoff time qualifies you for a full refund. Same-day cancellations for walks, day care, and drop-ins follow the full refund policy. Otherwise, for dog boarding and house sitting, you will receive a 50% refund for the first seven days of the booking and a 100% refund for the remaining days when you cancel the same day a booking should begin.
If your sitter needs to cancel within seven days of the booking's start date, then our reservation protection will kick in. This means our support team works with you to find a replacement sitter.
