Aimee is amazing! She is an animal lover through and through and my dogs warmed up to her quickly. She is very responsive and communicates often with updates, concerns, pictures, and videos. I will definitely book her again and I highly recommend her.

Carsyn has such a heart for animals. From the moment I met her I knew she would treat my baby boy with the same love and care I do. My puppy took right to her. I can say she is a blessing as I dont just trust anyone with my boy.

Sydney was great! We booked last minute and were really relieved she was able to drop in on our kitties while we were away. She communicated well and made us feel like we didn’t have to worry. I realized I missed a few things in my instructions but she was able to roll with it and take care of everything. We really appreciated her help and would be happy to book with her again.

Valerie has watched my kitty, Sammy, three times now. She shows up as promised and sends me photos of my sweet boy. She doesn’t hesitate to contact me with questions or to reassure that Sammy is fine. I’d recommend Valerie to anyone looking for a reliable pet sitter.

About: Hi there! My name is Jenny! I love all the furbabies and would love to lend a hand. I'm local to bedford and have plenty of experience with dogs and cats ranging from puppies to senior care. I recently cared from my dog at the end of her life and have experience providing comfort and care to senior dogs. I also have experience with puppies and assistance with training! I trained my dog who was deaf!! I work independently as a cleaner and caregiver in the Bedford area. I have an extremely flexible schedule and would love to lend a hand with your pet care. Im very active and would love to find clinets who need dog walking services or companionship throughout the day. I could typically spend 1 to 2 hours with your pet any time during the day! As a dog Mom of 12 years I understand how important our pets routines are. I care for all the furbabies just as the owners would providing the same care and routines so your pet can feel comfortable

About: I love animals and grew up with animals. I have a dog, have worked and currently work with dogs, and have taken care of dogs before. I'm usually working at least 4-5 days a week, mostly from 2-7pm and most weekends. But I can help out during the weekdays before 2 and sometimes after 7. I also go to college 2 days a week during the morning and usually leave around 12:30pm. I have a dog and shes has always been an outside dog. But she has stayed around my house and doesn't go anywhere or run off anywhere.

About: Owned a dog since forever. Currently have 2 shelties-3yrs and 1yrs old. But have taken care of dogs all breeds, sizes, ages, and stages of life. I am currently taking a break from my career to reset, recharge, and just enjoy life with my 2 young Shelties. Daily we walk, run, play. It is part of our life. Cat wise my cats care is part of our daily routine. I spoil them and have cat trees in windows for them to watch the neighborhood and provide them with all their favorite toys. Walking and drop in service wise- let me know times, dates, ways to enter the house. If able I would love to bring my dogs to join. If not that is fine. I am willing to walk as much and as long as needed. Drop in share what you need and I will help. I can also give medications if needed.

About: I am a caring and dependable pet sitter who has always loved animals. I have my own dog who I love and care for very much, so I understand how important pets are to their families. I also previously worked at a dog kennel, where I gained experience feeding, bathing, cleaning up after, and caring for dogs of all different sizes and personalities. I would treat your pets with the same love and care I give my own. Pet care is already a part of my daily routine because I take care of my own dog and cat at home. Every day I make sure they are fed, have fresh water, and get the attention they need. I also walk my dog and spend time playing with both of them so they stay active and happy. Because I’m used to doing this regularly, taking care of other pets fits naturally into my weekly schedule. I care for pets by making sure they are safe, comfortable, and well taken care of while their owner is away. I follow the owner’s instructions for feeding, walking, playtime, and any other needs the pet may have. I also give pets attention and patience so they feel calm and cared for. When caring for a client’s home, I treat it with respect by keeping things clean, locking doors, and making sure everything is left the way I found it. My goal is to make both the pets and their owners feel comfortable and confident in my care.

I felt so comfortable leaving my cats in Liz’s care. Her posts were very informative and the cats did not seen mad at us at all when we came home- so that means they enjoyed their time with Liz as well!! I would definitely use her services again!

Liz was absolutely wonderful, and our fur babies adored her. Since moving to Bedford three years ago, this was the first time we needed someone to help care for them—and we couldn’t have asked for a better experience. We have five cats and one dog, and typically, the cats vanish whenever someone new enters the house. But Liz was the exception—they greeted her each day like an old friend. I loved receiving photos that showed just how happy and loved they were. Without a doubt, we’d welcome Liz back in a heartbeat.

Frequently asked questions about Rover

As of August 2026, there are 302 sitters on Rover offering Cat Sitting across Thaxton. 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 Thaxton. On Rover:

  • 85% of sitters can help with special care needs
  • 96% can help with giving oral medications or injections
  • 100% 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.
