Leah was fantastic! This was my first experience using Rover and it was such a great one! Leah was so caring for our animals (2 dogs and 3 cats). While we were away there were lots of storms which our dogs don’t like. Leah went the extra mile to stay with them and make them feel comfortable. She played with them and gave them lots of love. I could tell they were besties even before the end of the week! I will definitely use Leah again and would recommend her to anyone! She was the best!

Stephanie is amazing! She is the most reliable rover I have ever had! She is super good with our almost 2 year old golden retriever who can be very high energy! She stays with him and plays and make sure he gets all the love and exercise he needs. I trust her very much with our pup and would definitely recommend!

About: As an experienced pet sitter and cat owner, I understand how important it is for pets to feel safe, comfortable, and loved while their owners are away. By having my own pet I understand the need for patience, attention to detail, and maintaining routines. I provide compassionate care tailored to each pets needs and personality, treating every animal as if they were part of my own family. Im am currently working part time and at most work three times a week. This allows me to have a lot of availability to care for your animals! I care for pets in clients homes by following their normal routines to help pets feel safe and comfortable. I also give regular updates to owners and make sure the pets get plenty of love when their owners are away.

About: Animal lover, outdoor enthusiast, and lifelong pet owner with experience caring for dogs, cats, and other animals. Comfortable with everything from energetic working breeds to laid-back family pets, and committed to treating every pet like my own. As an early riser and animal lover, I’m happy to accommodate early morning walks before work and pet care after 4 PM. Spending time with animals is something I genuinely enjoy, whether that’s a quick check-in, a long walk, or keeping a pet company while their family is away. My schedule allows for consistent, reliable care throughout the week and on many weekends. Your pet’s comfort and safety come first. I know every pet is different, so I like to learn their routine, favorite activities, and anything that helps them feel at ease. By caring for your pets in their own home, I can help keep their day as normal and stress-free as possible. I’ll make sure they get plenty of attention, exercise, love, and care while you’re away.

About: Hi! I’m Kelsey, and caring for animals has always been something that comes really naturally to me. I recently adopted my cat, Louis, so I understand how important it is to find someone you trust with your pet. I work full-time in behavioral health, so I bring a lot of patience, attentiveness, and calm energy into how I care for animals—especially those who may be a little anxious or need extra reassurance. I’m available for drop-ins and walks, with extra flexibility on Tuesdays and Fridays when I work from home. I’m happy to follow detailed routines, send regular updates, and make sure your pet feels safe, comfortable, and cared for while you’re away. Whether your pet needs playtime, a walk, or just some company, I’d love to help! Pet care fits really naturally into my weekly routine. I work full-time during the day, but I’m available for morning, evening, and weekend visits, with extra flexibility on Tuesdays and Fridays when I work from home. I try to keep my schedule balanced so I can be fully present with each pet, and not feel rushed between visits. I’m happy to stick to consistent routines, and I’ll always do my best to accommodate specific timing needs when I can. I’m especially a good fit for pets who benefit from a calm, steady presence or a little extra patience. I care for every pet the way I’d want someone to care for mine, with patience, attention, and a really calm energy. I recently adopted my cat, Louisville aka Louis, so I know how important it is to trust the person coming into your space. In your home, I’m very respectful of routines and will follow instructions closely to keep things consistent and low-stress. I take my time building trust, especially with shy or anxious pets (and cats who like to take their time warming up). I’m mindful about safety - secure doors, leashes, clean spaces, and making sure your pet is always comfortable. I’ll also send thoughtful updates and photos so you feel connected and at ease while you’re away. Whether your pet wants playtime, a walk, or just a cozy presence nearby, I’m happy to meet them where they are.

Alex did a great job with my three cats. She even got my former feral to come out for meals & she was able to get him inside at night - which is an accomplishment! She was very communicative & provided great pics & notes. Highly recommend!

About: I’ve taken care of both dogs and cats since I was 17. Family, neighbors, and friends have trusted me to walk, feed, clean up after, and comfort their pets while they’re away. Whether it’s a snuggly cat or an energetic pup, I always approach animals with patience and love. I currently work part-time, so I’m flexible and can make time for drop-in visits or overnight stays at your home. I’m available on weekends and most weekdays after 2PM. I’ll treat your home with care—and your pets like family. I do not offer boarding in my own home, but I provide thoughtful, reliable care in your space—where your pets feel most secure. I respect your home, follow your pet’s routine, and ensure they feel safe, soothed, and seen while you’re away.

I started pet sitting for my neighbors about seven years ago, and since then have expanded my clientele to all over. I pet sit in both my college town and home town. I have watched dogs and cats of many breeds, sizes, and energy levels including working dogs. I have a big focus on giving enrichment and plenty of attention for all the pets I take care of. Even just the lazier ones who like someone to sit for a while. I love spending time with animals and I’m so grateful for any opportunity to take care of someone else’s! I am flexible and will work with your animals specific needs! I am 20 years old. I am very responsible and great at following any instructions. I am newer to the Rover platform. More references available upon request! I am a college nursing student at UNCW! I can do any day, any time! I have my own car and will always have reliable transportation to your home. I always follow exact regiment’s my clients provide, making sure the pets get adequate breaks and attention.

About: I've had family dogs for 13 years, but started taking care of some of my neighbors' dogs 5 years ago, whether it be taking them for potty breaks or staying over at their house to give them attentive care. I work part time at a pet boarding place as a kennel tech, so I have lots of experience with many different breeds and temperaments of both cats and dogs. I've worked with dogs of all sizes, from Yorkie to Saint Bernard, and have lots of experience caring for both puppies and senior pets that might need more rigorous attention. I will be working part-time this summer, meaning that on the occasional days I work, I am available any time before 8am and then after 1-2pm. I can still stay over with your pet any day, that just means that on workdays, I would feed and walk them (And any other things necessary) before 8am, and then have to leave for work and then come back at 1-2. Whenever I am not actively at work, I can spend all my time caring for your pets! I am experienced at reading pet body language and adapting to how they respond. I am very communicative and will send lots of updates about your pet, including daily pictures of your fur babies! I can supply treats (with your approval) and can take them to parks and other places for walks, as I have a car and license. I'm dedicated to making sure your animal is as happy as can be :-)

She took care of my Kitties last minute, and one of them I adopted a week ago and they weren't quite on hospitable terms yet. She allowed them to interact gently while being ready to separate in case of throwing paws. She also followed special feeding directions for my elderly cat who needs stuff mixed in and her pate in an extra soupy mash.

Tiffney did drop-ins to look after our cat while we were on vacation. She sent funny detailed updates and pics and made a great effort in looking after our skittish guy. Definitely would ask Tiffney to help us out again!

FAQs for Drop-In Visits - Sunshine

Frequently asked questions about Rover

As of July 2026, there are 8,246 sitters on Rover offering Cat Sitting across Sunshine. 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 Sunshine. On Rover:

  • 90% of sitters can help with special care needs
  • 95% can help with giving oral medications or injections
  • 95% 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.
