“Elizabeth took great care of our cats while we were away. While they’re too shy for socializing, she ensured that their food, water, and litter boxes were maintained. We would recommend Elizabeth and schedule with her again!”
“Katie did a wonderful job taking care of our dog. Her communication was thorough and prompt. Katie took special care of our dog’s needs and I would not hesitate to recommend her to someone else.”
“Caitlin is such a wonderful petsitter. Both myself and my cats trust her immensely and can always count on her for great care! Super communicative and sends lots of pictures - such a plus when away from home!”
About: My friends tell me I treat their pets like my own when I watch them! People have told me that they appreciate that I pay attention to details and send lots of updates. I have an elderly dog myself with special needs, have taken dog training classes and genuinely love animals! I am excited to learn about what care your dog needs and help them feel safe and cared for! I can do recurring drop ins once we have had our first sitting to make sure it’s a good fit! I have my calendar blocked off Tuesdays and Thursdays but feel free to reach out about one-offs! I work remotely, so I’d like to make myself available to help you out during the day with quick drop ins, short walks and potty breaks! My currently availability says the morning but I do have some availability in the afternoons at times. My dog is trained with positive reinforcement based methods. She is an older dog with medication requirements and I understand the extra care and play restrictions they can have! Whether it’s creating a quick interactive puzzle game or playing gently in the backyard, happy to help your dog get some attention during the day!
“Lilac Rain did an incredible job with my dog. I needed someone last minute and they were able to help take care of my dog. They did a great job of communicating and sending photos, so I was able to check in. 10/10 would recommend!”
“Alex was amazing with our girl! We have a senior, diabetic dog who needs quite a few supplements and medication, as well as daily timed feedings and insulin injections. It’s is very hard to find someone who has experience with diabetic dogs, but Alex had experience and was more than willing to go the extra mile to keep her safe and healthy while we were gone. He had excellent communication and always asked questions about anything he was unsure of, which made me feel very confident in his ability to take care of our senior. He always let us know how she did at each meal, her blood glucose numbers, spent time walking and giving attention, and updated us with pictures from his visit. We are very happy to have found someone knowledgeable and caring to help give care when we are unable to, and feel that we may finally be able to travel more in the future now that we have a wonderful care-giver on our team!”
“James took great care of my two cats while I was out of town this past week. He picked up on their individual personalities right away and they both warmed up to him quickly - enough to administer daily medication to the skittish one. I'm grateful to have found someone with as much affinity for cats as James!”
“Sydney took care of our snake while we were out of town. She went above and beyond by watering plants and bringing in packages too. Excellent communication, we will absolutely reach out to book her again.”
“Pamela is great! She is punctual and our kitty loves her! She communicates regularly. She even went the extra mile and replaced the batteries in our touch-activated faucet. Thanks Pamela!”
“Cera is amazing! She is kind, very responsive, and flexible. My mind was at ease knowing my cat was in the best hands while I was gone. She kept me updated with lots of adorable pictures and was happy to accommodate a couple other household tasks I asked her to do. I’m so glad to have found her and look forward to using her services in the future.”
About: I care about spending time with, playing, and caring for your pets, not just feeding them. I usually respond very quickly and I find myself to be reliable! NOTE: I will be moving back to Blacksburg, VA for school starting August 18th!! I currently have a full time job during the week while I am home for the summer. However, I am very willing to be flexible during the week to come in the mornings and/or evenings depending on my schedule, and I am VERY willing to come sit over the weekends as I will be much more flexible! However you would like, but I would love to spend time getting to know your cats so they build trust and comfortability with me. They deserved to be loved even when their parents aren’t home!
“I am so happy we booked with Sarah! Not only was she timely and responsible, but she was a great fit for Piper! She sent several pictures during each visit and gave a thorough update every time. It was clear she spent lots of time time playing with Piper - she didn’t just feed her and leave. She also watered some of our plants. We are so thankful for Sarah and plan to book with her again!”
“Tiffany watched our senior cat recently for 5 days. She was dependable and communicated well with us during the time we were gone. Above all she took great care of our boy and gave him lots of love and attention. We will absolutely ask Tiffany to watch him again next time we travel.”
The median cost per visit for cat sitting in Swannanoa is $25

Caitlin watched all three of my cats while I was out of the country. She sent lovely, detailed notes, took amazing pictures, and was so so so good to my trio of kitties. She took excellent care of their equipment and did a great job communicating about their supplies so I could coordinate. I’d absolutely book her again next time I need someone to look after my cats.
Kyle was fantastic! I had a good feeling as soon as I felt his firm handshake. He is very caring, attentive and a great communicator, clear and timely. Kyle was kind and understanding about my anxiety leaving my cat, and he made sure to be in touch and send lots of photos and updates. A truly wonderful pet-sitter!

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.

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.
