About: I grew up in a family full of animal lovers. We had cats, dogs, birds, rats, guinea pigs and even horses. When I was a kid I wanted to be veterinarian, but I ended up becoming a software engineer instead. Working remote grants me the freedom to put my love for animals to good use as your on-call back up pet parent. After getting a dog of my own, I realized how important it is to have back-up pet care available for when life gets busy. Travel, work, vacations or whatever else you may not be able to bring your furry friend along for, it's my honor to provide peace of mind while you are away. Don't be afraid to ask me for customization or modifications to your booking. I am more than happy to tailor time frame, price, responsibilities and expectations to exactly what you need for your pup. No request is too difficult. I will do my best to accommodate! Be communicative and explicit about the needs of you and your animals. We'll figure it out! I work a 9-5 Monday-Friday as a software engineer. Outside of meetings I have lots of flexibility to accommodate you and your schedule. I'll work with you 1:1 to figure out exactly what booking details work best for you and your pet(s)! (Additional services such as house cleaning, animal grooming or off-hours visits may include a small up-charge, but I am more than happy to provide these services as I am able) I do not board or care for animals in my own home, as I have 2 pets of my own and my home is their sanctuary :) Just as your home is your animals sanctuary, where they likely feel most comfortable, I think this is the best option for all involved. I've interacted with many animals of all temperaments. I prefer slow introductions, and allowing your pet to get comfortable with me at their own pace.

About: Every dog I meet is my new best friend, and I truly mean that! Whether I’m out for a walk, at a gathering, or preparing to care for a pup, I love getting to know each dog’s unique personality and needs. I have years of hands-on experience caring for dogs of all sizes and temperaments. Growing up, I helped care for my family’s pets, including a beagle, two Great Danes, and several collies. I’ve also pet-sat for friends with golden retrievers, huskies, and more. Whether your dog needs playtime, a long walk, or just some extra belly rubs, I’ll make sure they feel happy and loved while you’re away! I am a freelance musician and teacher in the Colorado Springs area. My flexible hours allow me to focus on making sure your pet feels comfortable, happy, and well cared for. I’m also available at all times of the day, though my schedule varies from week to week—feel free to reach out, and I’d be happy to work out a time that fits your needs! I understand how important routine is for pets, and I am dedicated to keeping them on a schedule that feels familiar and comfortable. Whether it’s feeding, walks, playtime, or bedtime, I do my best to follow their usual routine as closely as possible. Maintaining consistency helps reduce stress and ensures your pet feels safe and cared for while you’re away.

About: If there's one thing nine years with my two black cats has taught me, it's that every pet has their own personality, quirks, and favorite ways to spend the day! As a pet owner who carefully researches care options whenever I travel, I understand how important it is to find someone you can truly trust. I want to be that person for you—a caregiver who takes your pet's well-being seriously while making sure their time apart from you is filled with attention, enrichment, and fun. - To me, great pet care goes beyond the basics. Along with meeting your pet's physical needs, I believe they deserve companionship, play, and mental stimulation, especially when their family is away. That might mean treat puzzles for cats, sniffing safaris and treat-finding adventures for dogs, or simply spending quality time together. I'll always tailor our time to your pet's personality and comfort level. While you're away, I want you to relax knowing your pet is well cared for and having fun too. Whether we're exploring interesting smells on a walk or playing a favorite game, I'll make their happiness and well-being a priority. - Communication and reliability are equally important to me. I'll show up during our agreed-upon visit window, follow your care instructions, and provide thoughtful updates so you know how your pet is doing. During our meet-and-greet, I'd love to discuss your communication preferences and learn what makes you and your pet happiest. I'm happy to offer a complimentary meet-and-greet when there's sufficient time to arrange one before your booking. - My professional background is in book publishing and human resources, and I'm excited to bring those skills—including organization, communication, and attention to detail—to pet care. Above all, I want you to feel confident that your pet is in caring, capable hands and getting plenty of love, attention, and fun while you're away! I understand how important consistency and reliability are when you're trusting someone to care for your pets. I’ll arrive within our agreed-upon visit window and follow your pet’s usual routine as closely as possible, whether that means meals, walks, playtime, medication, or simply keeping them company. - I’ll communicate clearly about scheduling and let you know promptly if any questions or unexpected issues come up. I’m happy to discuss your pet’s routine and timing needs in advance so we can make a plan that works for everyone. My goal is to keep your pet’s days as comfortable and predictable as possible while you’re away. Your pet’s safety and comfort are always my top priorities. I’ll carefully follow your care instructions, respect your home, and keep a close eye on your pet’s well-being throughout each visit. I understand that every pet has different needs and comfort levels, and I’ll take the time to build trust at their pace rather than force interaction. - As a cat owner myself, I know how important it is to feel confident leaving your pets in someone else’s care. I’ll be mindful of doors, gates, leashes, and other potential safety concerns, and I’ll follow your household instructions to help keep your home secure while you’re away. I’m also happy to help with little things like watering plants, bringing in the mail or packages, and other simple tasks that help keep things running smoothly.

About: I grew up with a family dog, Chase, and for 17 years he grew my love for dogs. Once he passed I was in college and took every opportunity to care for other good buddies like him. Friends know that if they ask me to walk or care for their pup I will go above and beyond to make their buddy feel special and cared for when they aren't able. No one can replace you in your dog's eyes, but I'll fill the hole as close as possible. I have a pretty flexible work schedule so I can work with the needs of your pet throughout the week. I also have my own dog, so can combine walks/play or keep them separate! Does your dog love walks and playing fetch? Me too! I am very cautious when it comes to the safety of your pup, so I will strictly follow any guidelines you have as well as get to know your pup so I can better care for their needs. You can trust me to care for your dog as well as your space, I firmly believe in the power of coming home to a clean space, so don't worry we won't be making a mess while you're gone!

About: I’ve been dog walking since I was 8. I’ve taken care of puppies and small, medium, and large dogs of all breeds. You can trust me to make sure your pet has a fun time walking, running, and/or playing. I have a job with flexible hours. I also love taking my parents' dog for a walk, run, or hike. I am familiar with many of the parks and trails in the city. I love giving dogs the opportunity to get some fresh air by exploring the outdoors and burning off some energy. I have helped train dogs and have experience around rescued animals with high anxiety. If you think we are a good fit, I'd like to set up a meet and greet so your pup has time and space to get comfortable with me. I am not currently available for dog sitting services but I have many years of experience caring for dogs and cats in their own home.

About: I've had dogs and cats usually both at the same time as my children were growing up. Since early 70's. I loved them and they seem to like me ok. The last dog I had was a Border Collie rescue that I adopted in Omaha 2017 she was found in Louisiana. Her and I moved to Colorado in 2020. She was very sweet and also loved other animals in the building where we lived including cats. Sadly, she passed 2024. We could communicate just with body language and looking into each other's eyes as I spoke to her. I still interact with all the dogs in the building when I see them. We would also go on hikes up at Palmer Park on the off-leash dog trail. Made a lot of friends with dogs there as well. I now live with my children and their 3 cats. They are very sweet also. Lots of cuddle time. Our pets just need love and attention and know that we care. So, I do tend to spoil them while abiding by the rules. I do have obligations a couple of times a week during the day. I'm usually gone about 2-3 hours when that happens. Evening meetings twice a month for couple of hours. I will do errands and help friends out from time to time. However, when I am scheduled to take care of a pet I work my schedule around them. Thursday mornings are the only day I cannot reschedule but I'm only gone for 2-3 hours average. Take the dogs for walks if client wishes / allows. Pay attention to cats and dogs so they don't feel alone. Stick to the routine the clients have set for them. Also change cats litter boxes when needed.

Margaret is absolutely wonderful! We’re so grateful for the care she gives our two cats. She doesn’t just stop by to feed them and check on them, she actually spends quality time with them and makes sure they get plenty of love and attention. It means a lot knowing they’re in such good hands while we’re away. We always feel comfortable leaving them with her and really appreciate everything she does. We highly recommend Margaret!

I had a wonderful experience with our Rover sitter Devin. She dropped in 2x daily. She did an amazing job taking care of all four of my cats while I was on vacation. She was reliable, caring, and attentive to their needs. I looked forward to receiving the pictures and messages on how they were doing. It’s not easy trusting someone to care for your naked babies, but she made the experience stress-free. I’m grateful for the excellent care she provided and would absolutely recommend her to anyone looking for a trustworthy and loving pet sitter. Thank you again Devin for taking such great care of my babies!

This was my second time using Rover, and I’m so grateful I had the opportunity to meet Beth! She was responsive when I first inquired about her availability, was very patient with my cat, and kindly gave special attention to my betta fish during each visit. When my trip was delayed due to severe weather, Beth kindly to squeezed in a last-minute emergency visit, which gave me so much peace of mind while I was away. I came home to a happy cat and a clean and tidy home 🤗 Thank you Beth for taking care of my pets and my home while I was away!

FAQs for Cat Sitting - Stratmoor

Frequently asked questions about Rover

The average cost of Cat Sitting in Stratmoor is $19 per visit as of October 2026. Most bookings cost between $13 and $28 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.

As of October 2026, there are 1,060 sitters on Rover offering Cat Sitting across Stratmoor. 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 .

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 , 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 .

sitters on Rover set their own , 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.
