About: Hi! I’m a responsible and caring college student who genuinely loves animals and understands how important it is to have someone you can trust with your pets. I have pets of my own, so I’m very comfortable with feeding, walking, playtime, litter boxes, basic routines, and giving lots of attention and affection. I’m patient, dependable, and attentive, and I’ll always treat your pets like they’re my own. I’m happy to help with dog walks, drop-in visits, feeding, playtime, and pet sitting depending on your needs. I also know every pet has their own personality, so I make sure to follow your instructions and keep their routine as normal and comfortable as possible. I’d love the opportunity to care for your furry family members and give you peace of mind while you’re away! I’m a college student with a flexible schedule and plenty of availability for walks, drop-ins, and pet sitting throughout the week. Although, on Mondays, I am only available until 4 pm. I’m also happy to work with pet parents on a routine that fits their pet’s needs. I’m dependable, communicative, and always make sure pets get plenty of attention, playtime, and care while you’re away. I always follow each pet parent’s instructions closely and make sure pets feel safe, comfortable, and cared for. I pay attention to feeding schedules, walks, playtime, medications if needed, and any special routines. I also keep doors and gates secure, supervise pets carefully, and give regular updates so owners know how their pet is doing.

About: I’m a cat-only sitter who provides in-home visits to help your cats feel comfortable and cared for while you’re away. I have 4 years of experience caring for cats and know that every cat has their own personality, habits, and routine. I’m happy to take care of feeding, fresh water, litter boxes, playtime, and giving your cat some extra attention and companionship. I also have experience giving medication to my own cat and can help with medication if needed. My goal is to make your time away easier by keeping your cat’s routine as normal as possible and keeping you updated with photos and messages during each visit. I have a very flexible schedule and am available for drop-in visits throughout the week, including both weekdays and weekends. I can easily work around your cat’s routine. I provide drop-in visits only and care for cats in their own homes, where they can stay comfortable in their familiar environment. I treat every home with respect and always make sure doors and entry points are securely closed before leaving.

“Sharon was a god send! She took such good care of my kitties while I was away. Her maturity and professionalism was easy to sense during our meet and greet, and I felt completely confident leaving my babies in her care. All instructions were followed carefully, and she took initiative to go above and beyond. Highly recommend!”

About: I've dog sit many times, and I know how much love and attention they need. I'll make sure they have their fresh food, fresh water, and nice long walks to give them enough time. I'll throw in ear scratches and belly rubs too! I'm currently working part-time, so I'll have plenty of time during the week and weekends to care for your furry children. Please be considerate of my time, as I'll be with yours. I'm very caring and tuned in to how your furry child is feeling, and the signs they're giving me. I'll make sure to give them the care and attention they deserve, as well as follow any instructions given.

“Mariya was fantastic watching my two cats for the week I was away. My situation isn’t the easiest — my cats have to be kept separated, with one being pretty shy around new people — but Mariya handled it with patience and care. She kept me updated with regular check-ins, and it was clear she genuinely paid attention to each cat’s individual needs rather than just doing a quick in and out visit. I came home to two happy, well fed, comfortable cats and zero stress. Highly recommend Mariya to anyone with cats, especially if you’ve got a trickier multi-cat household like mine she’s clearly experienced and trustworthy. I’ll definitely be booking her again!”

About: I have over 25 years of hands-on experience caring for my family pets and my own dogs, so animals have always been a meaningful part of my life. Over the years, I’ve cared for pets through every stage of life, from playful puppies to senior dogs who need extra patience, comfort, and attention. In addition to caring for my own pets, I also have more than 15 years of experience fostering and helping re-home dogs and cats. Through fostering, I’ve learned how important it is to be patient, gentle, and attentive to each animal’s unique personality, history, and needs. I’m comfortable caring for pets who may be shy, nervous, energetic, or still adjusting to new people and environments. My goal is always to make pets feel safe, loved, and cared for while giving their owners peace of mind. I understand how much trust it takes to leave your pet with someone else, and I treat that responsibility with the care and respect it deserves. My schedule is currently open for dog walks and drop-in visits Monday through Sunday, from 8:00 AM to 8:00 PM. I am also available for boarding and will do my best to keep your pet’s routine as familiar and comfortable as possible. During walks and drop-ins, you can expect dependable care, clear communication, and updates so you know how your pet is doing. I’m happy to help with feeding, fresh water, potty breaks, playtime, litter box care, medication reminders, and companionship depending on your pet’s needs. For boarding, I take the time to learn your pet’s routine, personality, comfort level, and any special instructions before their stay. My goal is to make your pet feel safe, relaxed, and cared for while giving you peace of mind while you’re away. Your pet’s safety, comfort, and well-being are always my top priorities. Guest pets have access to a private, air-conditioned room where they can lounge, relax, and sleep comfortably. The room has a cozy pullout couch, plenty of natural light, and a private entrance, creating a calm and comfortable space for pets to feel at ease. I also have a private fenced patio that is separate from my backyard, as well as a larger backyard area that guest pets can enjoy with supervision. This gives pets space to stretch, explore, and get fresh air in a safe environment. I can also crate your dog if needed or preferred, and I will always follow your instructions closely when it comes to feeding, routines, sleeping arrangements, medication, walks, and any safety precautions. I understand how much trust it takes to leave your pet in someone else’s care, and I take that responsibility seriously.

“Nathalie was amazing! This is our first time using Rover & having a non relative care for our fur babies. She made this a great experience from the booking to the meet & greet to the daily reports. Everything went smoothly & we had the peace of mind knowing our babies were being well cared for during our absence. I will definitely rebook with her in the near future & I highly recommend her for your pet sitting needs.”

“Mia took wonderful care of my cat while I was away and I couldn’t have asked for a better sitter. My cat is used to spending time outdoors and absolutely loves being outside so I really appreciated that she made sure he got plenty of sunshine every day, usually 30 minutes to an hour. Mia is communicative and genuinely cares about the animals she watches. Throughout my cat’s stay I always felt reassured that he was in great hands. Since he stayed with her for nearly a month she even went the extra mile and bought him a few toys to help him feel more comfortable and at home. I highly recommend Mia to anyone looking for a reliable and attentive pet sitter. I would absolutely trust her with my cat Mowgli again.”

“Sam was really great with my 9-year-old kitty! She sent updates and photos daily, was responsive, and overall a great communicator. At one point she told me a storm was expected and that she would be with my boy when it was thundering when he gets nervous. She also made smart decisions about not letting him out into his catio when it was too hot. Sam even gave the stray kitties in the yard some love, which was really sweet. You can tell she genuinely cares about animals. Highly recommend!”

About: With 5 years of pet care experience, I’ve cared for dogs, cats, and reptiles with a variety of needs and personalities. I’m comfortable caring for up to three dogs at once and have plenty of hands-on experience with cats and reptiles as well. I can handle feeding, walks, playtime, litter boxes, check-ins, and daily routines. I’m dependable, attentive, and make sure every pet gets the care and attention they’re used to while their owners are away. I’m currently a master’s student at the University of Miami, which gives me flexibility in my schedule for pet care. I’m available for drop-in visits, walks, and overnight care throughout the week and on weekends. I care for pets in their own home, where they can stay comfortable in their familiar environment and routine. I follow each owner’s instructions closely, including feeding schedules, walks, medications, litter care, and any other specific needs. I’m respectful of both your pets and your home and will make sure they receive plenty of attention and care while you’re away.

About: I have been around pets for the entirety of my life. I have always been reliable and trusted when it comes to taking care of animals due to my sheer love and passion for them. I rescue animals often and find them forever homes. Nothing puts a bigger smile on my face than animals being safe and happy! I am a part time employee and student, which means there is plenty of time in my schedule to give all of my love! I will pretty much always be available for whatever is needed. I am very flexible! I have a gated property and a very safe neighborhood for walks! I have a big back yard for throwing balls and fetching toys. I always have treats and love to give!

About: I grew up with animals always in my life. I have taken care of dogs, cats, and rabbits. My family pets have ranged from puppies and kittens to senior dogs and cats, so I believe I am capable of caring for any aged animal. I have also fostered kittens before who needed to be given medicine twice a day. I have 5 years of dog sitting experience. I have a cat of my own now that I adopted from one of my foster experiences. I am a new nurse located in the Miami area. I keep my schedule up to date to avoid conflicts with my 3 nurse shifts a week. Days I have availability should be open to caring for your furry friend! I am a loving caregiver and like spending quality time with pets from playing, walking, and snuggling. I am very detailed oriented so will pay close attention to any instructions I am given.

About: I’ve had dogs all my life. I’ve never lived without dogs, they are my pride and joy and what I look forward to coming home to. I work a part time and am also in university a couple days of the week. So when I’m not busy I absolutely love doing this as a side hustle for extra income. I am very loving and try to take a calm and gentle approach even if my dogs are misbehaving which isn’t often. I have one very chill senior dog and one very hyper one so sometimes it’s hard to keep up with the different energy level but I love it. I adjust my caregiver abilities depending on the animal.

About: Caring for pets isn't new to me. I'm the go-to pet sitter for a few of my best friends whenever they travel, and I've cared for everything from energetic young dogs to senior pups who require extra patience, medications, vitamins, and special care. I know every pet thrives on consistency, so I always ask for detailed instructions about feeding schedules, walks, medications, favorite toys, sleeping habits, and any little quirks that help them feel safe and comfortable while their family is away. After more than 20 years in the corporate world, including over 13 years in Human Resources, I recently decided to take a career break and slow things down a little while I figure out what’s next. It’s given me something I haven’t had much of in my career — flexibility. My schedule is very open, which means I’m able to dedicate plenty of time and attention to the pets I’m caring for. I’m not rushing in and out between a full-time job or trying to squeeze pet care into an already busy schedule. I can work around their normal routines and be there for the walks, playtime, meals, medications, or simply the company they’re used to having. I’m starting locally because I’ve been caring for friends’ and family members’ pets for years and would love to continue doing something I genuinely enjoy while building my Rover experience. I’m also hoping to eventually combine pet sitting with my love of travel, so this feels like a really fun new chapter for me. If your pet has a specific schedule or needs someone who can be flexible, I’m happy to work around their routine. And if plans change or something unexpected comes up, I have the flexibility to adjust without it becoming a problem I can’t care for pets in my own home because pets aren’t allowed in my apartment, so I primarily offer care in your home. (My own pets live with my brother, so we have what you would call “joint custody” haha. I’m the auntie who visits any chance she gets and also the sitter whenever my brother is out of town.) Although I’m new to Rover, caring for pets and being responsible for someone else’s home is certainly not new to me. When I’m staying in their homes, I treat it with the same respect and care I would give my own. I’m tidy, respectful of your space, and mindful of your home and belongings. I’m also BIG on routine. Before you leave, I want/NEED to know detailed instructions on how things normally work for your pet — feeding times and portions, walks, medications or vitamins, bedtime, favorite treats, where they like to sleep, and all those little quirks that make them them. Show me their routine, and I’ll do my best to keep things as normal as possible while you’re away. Because I’m taking a career break, I have the flexibility to spend real quality time with your pets. Whether they love long walks, playtime, cuddles on the couch, or simply having someone nearby, I’m happy to keep them company throughout the day rather than just stopping in to feed them. I’ll also send regular photos and updates so you know how they’re doing and can actually enjoy your time away knowing they’re safe, comfortable, and in good hands :)

About: As an RN with over 11 years of experience, I understand the importance of being dependable, attentive, and compassionate. Those same qualities guide the care I provide for every dog and cat. I’m also a devoted dog mom to a senior Min Pin named Canela. I know how much trust it takes to leave your furry family member in someone else’s care. I have firsthand experience caring for dogs with complex medical needs, administering oral and topical medications, monitoring recovery after surgery, and recognizing subtle changes in a dog’s condition or behavior. Whether it’s a neighborhood walk, a drop-in visit for potty breaks, playtime, meals, fresh water, or medication, I’ll make sure your pet feels safe and loved. My goal is to give you peace of mind knowing your companion is well cared for. At this time, I primarily offer dog walking and drop-in visits so I can continue caring for Canela. I also offer limited boarding for one guest dog at a time in a calm home environment. Pet care is already part of my daily routine as a devoted dog mom to my senior Min Pin, Canela. I structure my schedule around caring for her first each day, which allows me to provide dependable dog walking and drop-in visits Monday through Friday from 9:30 AM to 6:30 PM, and weekends from 1:00 PM to 7:00 PM. This routine helps me give every pet the time, attention, and care they deserve. I care for every pet as if they were my own. During drop-in visits, I’ll follow your pet’s routine, including feeding, fresh water, potty breaks, playtime, walks, medication (if needed), and plenty of love and attention. I’ll also make sure your home is respected and secure by following any instructions you provide, such as locking doors, bringing in packages, or adjusting lights if requested. My goal is to keep your pet safe, comfortable, happy, and cared for while you’re away, giving you peace of mind every step of the way.

FAQs for Cat Sitting - Sweetwater

Frequently asked questions about Rover

The average cost of Cat Sitting in Sweetwater is $21 per visit as of November 2026. Most bookings cost between $20 and $29 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 November 2026, there are 674 sitters on Rover offering Cat Sitting across Sweetwater. 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.

Yes, you can find sitters who have experience with handling special pet needs in Sweetwater. On Rover:

  • 87% of sitters can help with special care needs
  • 91% can help with giving oral medications or injections

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.
