“Kelly did a great job taking care of our cat while we were out of town! She was great at communicating, gave me peace of mind, and even helped clean up a broken picture frame that had fallen while we were gone. I would definitely have Kelly take care of our cat again!”
“Ashley is amazing. She came over for a meet and greet for a very last minute booking. She is kind, professional, reliable, and is great with my dogs. Highly recommend and will definitely be using her again!!”
“Ashley was wonderful! My two bunnies are very particular about everything. They protest when something isn’t their liking. Ashley not only took good care of them but also made friends with them. The bunnies were happy when I got home. I’m glad that I found Ashley!”
“I loved the feedback and pictures that Amy sent on her visits! She came and spent time with the cats on every visit. The cats seemed very happy with the care and attention that they received.”
About: I raised two bigs that I have trained years now and I grew up on a small farm so I have gotten the opportunity to care for animals for some time now! I also volunteer at animal shelters, getting the opportunity to work with all kinds of dogs as well. I am home from playing overseas and am available most days! During week days I can go to others homes to walk or check in pets normally any time of the day. I am comfortable with taking any size pet out for walks or stopping in to give them attention and have no issue taking them out to play and potty based on what the owner wishes!
“Faith has watched our Shiba Inus multiple times now, and we couldn’t be happier with the care she provides. She’s reliable, responsive, and truly great with our dogs—even administering medication to our elderly Shiba with no issues. Most recently, she helped us out while we were in the hospital for the birth of our son. We weren’t sure how many drop-ins we’d need or how long we’d be gone, but she was incredibly flexible and quick to respond. It gave us so much peace of mind knowing our pups were in good hands. Highly recommend!”
About: I have six years experience caring for my former pet beagle. I don’t have any dogs in my home but I do have two children. I love animals and I look forward to meeting you and yours! I love dog walking and being outdoors. Although I’m available for part time work I currently have limited availability based on the specific days. Please contact me and I would love to discuss the details. I look forward to hearing from you! I have a large yard and live in a neighborhood with plenty of areas for walking. If you chose to have your pet stay in my home we have an open concept home so they will checked on regularly.
“We had a wonderful experience with Jake, who stopped by twice to care for our three cats and did an amazing job! Communication was excellent throughout, and he was reliable, attentive, and clearly genuinely cared about our cats’ well-being. We would absolutely trust Jake again and highly recommend him to anyone looking for dependable and trustworthy pet care.”
“Kristy was wonderful with my kitties! She took time to make sure they had everything they needed and played with them too. Her communication was responsive and thorough. I highly recommend Kristy and will gladly use her again in the future!”
About: I’ve been caring for cats and dogs for about 10 years now, through my friends, family, neighbors and my own 2 puppies! I’m a college athlete who’s very active, so I’m happy to run/play and keep energetic dogs exercised while also making sure they feel loved, safe, and cared for! Pet care has always been a part of my daily routine, caring for my own two dogs! However, I’m a college student now, who lives an hour away from home, but I’m back for weekends and have plenty of free time to care for pets! I provide a safe, fun environment for pets. I have a fenced yard for running around outside, and two friendly dogs who would love to make friends! I closely supervise pets and will follow all instructions/special requests strictly from owners!
“Kristi is amazing! Our Maggie really seemed to have gotten lots of loving and play time for our drop in visit. We got lots of videos and photos and reassurance that Maggie was in good hands. We are so happy and excited to book Kristi again!”
About: I’ve had a dog in my family for as long as I can remember, from my childhood husky Ginger to our current family pekingese Alley. I absolutely adore dogs and jump at every chance to hang out with any of my friends dogs as well. I have experience with dogs of all ages and sizes, including those with special medical needs. I currently work part time at a restaurant and will be dedicated to your pet’s care every second I am not at work. I would never accept a job that would require me to compromise a pet’s needs and they will always come first in my life. I am committed to following any and all instructions given for dog/cat care. I understand that being in someone else’s home means following their rules and I will respect any spaces I am invited into.
“Lisa did a great job with our new puppy. She was prompt and was able to stay a bit longer than we originally planned. She sent photos and got the puppy out for several walks (with no accidents in the house!). I definitely recommend Lisa.”
“Brittany is the best. I am so thankful to be able to leave her with my new golden, and be confident she has my dog’s best interest at heart. And, this is one intelligent lady! Brittany remembers your habits, and acts according. I am very grateful for her.”
“Jen is the most amazing petsitter. She is very attentive and reliable, follows detailed instructions carefully, and truly cares for the furry babies she's been trusted to care for. I am so happy to have found her! 💜”

Amy was awesome!!! I have a senior cat that is very sick and I felt very bad for leaving her but Amy took great care of her. She was very sympathetic to her condition and I feel she went above and beyond. She sent daily updates and photographs. I highly recommend her.

Frequently asked questions about Rover
As of July 2026, there are 4,698 sitters on Rover offering Cat Sitting across Sunderland. 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.
Yes, you can find sitters who have experience with handling special pet needs in Sunderland. On Rover:
- 89% of sitters can help with special care needs
- 94% can help with giving oral medications or injections
- 96% 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 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.
