“Molly did a great job watching our cats, making sure that they were fed and happy. Lots of update photos, and easy scheduling. I would recommend her to anyone needing a hand with their pets!”
“Juliette was great! She was able to help on shorter notice and was promptly responsive every time I reached out. I’d absolutely recommend her to anyone in the area looking for someone to care for their furry crew while they’re away.”
“Mackenna was great with my two cats, giving some extra time for the one when the other had a medical issue and went to stay with my sister who was running him back and forth to the vet. Raven was lonely without him. She kept me up to date with texts and photos — I would highly recommend her services!”
“Autumn was the best! Very reliable and provided updates with photos. I will definitely be requesting Autumn in the future! I felt so at ease being miles away from home. Thank you Autumn!”
About: I've had cats for over 11 years and have been fostering for the past 7 months. Right now, my house is run by 5 resident cats and 5 foster cats. I just pay the mortgage. Between my own cats and fostering, I've learned that every cat comes with its own set of rules. Some want to be carried around like royalty. Some want you to admire them from six feet away. Some will scream for food as if they've never eaten a day in their lives. I'm comfortable with feeding, medications, litter box duty, playtime, and earning the trust of shy cats who prefer to pretend humans don't exist. I've cared for kittens, adults, seniors, and cats who needed a little extra patience while settling into a new situation. While you're away, I'll make sure your cat sticks to their routine, gets plenty of attention (if they want it), and has someone available to respond to any urgent meowing regarding an empty food bowl that is clearly still half full. I'll also send updates and photos, because I know you'll miss them. Your cat probably won't admit to missing you, but we'll keep that between us. 'm a stay-at-home parent and work part-time in the evenings, so I'm available during the day for pet visits and check-ins. Animal care is already a big part of my daily routine. I currently have 5 resident cats and 5 foster cats, so feeding, cleaning, medications, and keeping up with different personalities is just part of everyday life. My schedule is flexible, and I'm used to planning my day around the needs of animals. I follow the pet's normal routine as closely as possible. During visits, I make sure food and water are fresh, litter boxes are cleaned, and pets get whatever attention they enjoy—whether that's playtime, brushing, treats, or simply having someone sit with them for a while. I'm comfortable giving oral medications if needed and always keep an eye out for any changes in behavior, appetite, or litter box habits. As a cat owner and foster, I know that every cat is different. Some greet you at the door, and some prefer to supervise from across the room. I'm happy to go at their pace and make sure they feel safe and comfortable while their family is away. I also send updates and photos after visits so owners know how their pets are doing.
“erika stayed with & cared for my two precious cats while i was out of town. they are my spoiled babies & i adore them which it was clear erika realized right away. when she came for meet & greet she asked good questions & wanted to be sure she did a good job. & that she did...(& i am very picky)..she took excellent care of my kitties & made sure my lil finicky one ate well. she also communicated frequently & well & with photos. i truly was able to visit my grand children without worrying at all about the cats or their care. will definitely request her again if the need arises.”
About: Hi! I’ve grown up with pets all my life. Now that I’m an adult I have 5 cats and a dog. I’ve fostered (and foster failed) both cats and dogs over the years. I watch my friend’s pets here and at their homes as well. At my house I have a spare room that can be your animal’s home away from home if they need their own secluded space. I also have a fenced in yard with friendly neighbors who are also animal lovers. Come in the summer and I’ll send you home with some fresh veggies from my garden too! I get up early for work and make sure to leave plenty of time to feed, clean litter boxes and make sure all my four legged babies are ready for the day. Once home in the afternoon and after I lay down on the couch they all come to find me for love and to lay on me for all the pets. At night all are welcome to sleep with me, on the couch or wherever they are the most comfortable. I home almost all day over the weekends except for the morning time on Sundays. I have a fenced in yard so any dogs are able to go outside whenever they need to to play, pee or lay in the sun. I watch my neighbor’s dogs as needed and will go over every 4 or so hours to let them out over the weekends. During the week I let them out before I go to work and then as soon as I come home. I then let them out again before bed around 8pm. I also am able to let them out as needed when they are in a pinch and can’t get home in time. My cats and yours if they come for a stay will have water and toys available to them at all times. They will be fed twice a day with a snack of crunchies before bed. If you needed me to come to your house to take care of your cats and/or dogs, I would be able to come early in the morning, after work and before bed during the week and every 4-6 hours during the weekend. While at your house I can take animals for a walk, play, give pets and love, brush or whatever else is needed. Of course I’d feed them and clean kitty litter boxes or whatever else your babies need. I am good with giving medicine to cats and dogs. I give daily medication to my dog and have had to give cats medicine in the past.
About: I’ve taken care of neighbors, family members, and others’ dogs. I love animals! I have two energetic Australian shepherds I care for. One requires daily medication, so I am comfortable administering medicines as well! I have cared for all different dog breeds, from beagle mixes to golden retrievers to yellow labs to pit bull mixes to Bichon Frise. I’m a young professional looking to stay active! I have lots of time to care for and walk your pets in between patient care! And lots of weekend availability, too! I prefer to keep the dog in his/her natural environment. I am comfortable using harnesses and leashes! Comfortable walking the dog and/or letting them out in a fenced in yard.
“Julain is AMAZING! He took such good care of my little one and sent tons of photos. I’ve had my friends sit Horus before and honestly he was WAY happier with Julain. I honestly noticed a difference when I came back. He wasn’t as upset with me for leaving and seemed calm, he really liked him. Anyways you won’t regret hiring him at all, truly a pleasure and a really nice guy in general.”
About: We have owned, rescued, and fostered many fur babies, including seniors and those that have medical needs and hospice care. Fur babies are unconditional love! I am retired and have a lot of time for fur babies. Taking care of fur babies are what keeps me active and, on the go. I have a fenced yard and three smaller dogs that love to play and cuddle. My home is more suited for fur babies then humans!
“Delaney was amazing! Even came prior to our scheduled drop-ins to do a meet and greet. Took great care of our babies and was very respectful of our home. Will definitely be using her in the future! Thank you Delaney!”
About: I had a dog as a child. I have had dogs for over 35 years. They are great company and a great addition to any family. I am retired. My time would be totally devoted to spending time with your pet(s). I look forward to giving you the comfort that your pets are well-cared for while you are not home. My pets at home are pretty spoiled. They are not crated and we play inside and outside. Whatever the owners require is what I will do. Unfortunately, my most recent dog died of cancer. I miss her; but look forward to taking good care of other people’s pets.
About: Hello! Aside from growing up around dogs all my life, (a pug and rotties!) I also worked at two animal hospitals as a kennel attendant. Kennel attendants are responsible for taking care of your dogs & cats while you're away! Working in an animal hospital also helped me recognize behaviors that dogs/cats show when they are sick or injured, which helped me be prepared to know when to seek medical assistance. I am also experienced with all personalities of dogs/cats: the anxious, playful, silly, aggressive and pets with attachment anxiety! I am confident with my experience working in hospitals and also hanging around dogs and cats daily that your pets will be safe and happy with me. I treat them as if they are my own! I do work part-time, but my schedule is flexible! Currently, I am off Sunday, Monday, Tuesday. As I gain more clients I would like to have less hours at my current job and be able to pick up more hours pet-sitting! I understand that routine is super important for most animals, (feeding times, going potty, playtime and bedtime) so I always try to keep consistent with what they are used to.
About: Let’s be real: your dog deserves a break that’s actually fun! I’m here to make sure they get exactly that. I work at a veterinary hospital so I’m the person who naturally notices the "little things," but when I’m walking your pup, it’s all about the good stuff—fresh air, tail wags, and a serious amount of attention!!! I’ll keep you in the loop with plenty of cute photo updates so you don’t feel like you’re missing out. This isn't just a job for me; I converse, love and care for each dog or cat as my own. I work night shift at a veterinary hospital which gives me a flexible schedule for morning, afternoon and evening feeds, walks and weekend adventures! Whether your pup needs a quick potty break or a stroll to burn off energy, I’m here to make sure they get exactly what they need while you’re busy. Getting out with your dog is the best part of my day! Since I work in a veterinary environment, safety is second nature to me. I’m the person who double-checks the leash, keeps a sharp eye on surroundings, and makes sure the water bowl is always fresh. I treat your home with respect and your pet like they’re my own. Expect plenty of cute photo updates so you can see exactly how much fun we're having!
About: I’ve grown up around dogs and cared for my own for years. From daily walks and playtime to keeping up with feeding and routines, I make sure pets feel safe, happy, and loved like they’re part of the family. Hi, I’m Mike! I’ve cared for dogs most of my life and know how important it is to trust the person looking after your pet. I make sure every dog feels safe, loved, and part of the family—whether that’s daily walks, playtime, or sticking to their routine. I’m reliable. Ask for the general routine of the pet what special medication if any applicable and any other specific type of care the owners are requesting

Frequently asked questions about Rover
As of September 2026, there are 3,950 sitters on Rover offering Cat Sitting across Sumneytown. 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 .

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.
