“Jessica was very communicative with me during the week+ catsitting. She was great with my cat who is a little private and not happy when strangers watch her. She did very good to make Ms Feta (the cat) feel comfortable and taken care of.”

About: I've spent almost a lifetime taking care of cats and dogs, and I find the bond between animal and owner to be one of the most powerful things on earth. I've been called upon to care for friends and families to pet-sit for them many times throughout my life. I currently have an open weekday schedule so I'm fully available for any and all of your pets basic needs. Weekends are also fully available. Pet safety is a top priority for me, all feeding and walking instructions will be precisely followed. I like to spend a little extra time with pets during feedings just to observe and give them company.

About: Hi, Im Alexa! I am 26 and I’m from Indiana. I moved to Florida just recently and I currently work part time and would love to meet new furry friends. I have always loved animals and have had many pets during my life. I have had 4 cats, 2 dogs, and rabbits, hamsters, and birds. I have gained most of my experience dog sitting through my family members. I currently take care of my cousins’ golden doodle and cocker spaniel twice a year since 2020. I have also dog sat my grandparents’ corgi multiple times. I do have some experience farm sitting for rabbits and chickens as well. I am open to whatever needs are necessary for keeping your pets happy and look forward to meeting them. :) I am currently working part time, 4 days a week for around 5 hours a day. I am available 3 days out of the week or longer if my part time schedule will not affect the sitting. If any questions about scheduling please feel free to reach out. :) Your wish is my command! Whatever is necessary to keeping your pets happy and healthy, I am willing to do! Walks, lots of potty breaks, food schedules, medication, cuddles, etc. As long as everything is noted, I am happy to be there

About: I’ve been around dogs my entire life and have been caring for them since I was a kid. I’ve lived with and worked with all kinds of breeds, from German Shepherds and Pit Bulls to Toy Poodles and Chihuahuas. I’ve also worked with dogs that were fearful or difficult to manage and, with patience, consistency, and training, helped them become more comfortable and confident. I have plenty of experience with puppies, including helping with potty training, and I’m comfortable with cats as well. I’m used to handling everyday grooming and basic care and know when something is best left to the vet. I’m pretty calm in stressful situations and don’t get easily overwhelmed. Most importantly, I believe animals respond best to patience, consistency, love, and respect. I’m comfortable setting boundaries and maintaining house rules, but I don’t believe in harsh physical correction. My goal is always to build trust and create a good relationship with every animal in my care. To me, there’s no such thing as a bad dog just an animal that may need more patience, understanding, and the right guidance. I'm currently working part-time, so I'll have plenty of time to play with your pups! I'm available for boarding as my schedule is flexible and rotating. I’m available Mon-Sunday 6am-2pm and select evenings. Feel free to reach out about evening care my availability changes week to week. I currently live in an apartment located close to downtown. Even though I lack large space and a fenced in yard I am a stones throw away from a large park and put it to good use. I have one very friendly dog who is full of love and a very curious cat. I am able to crate your animal if the need arises. With my dog we are very active and go on 3-5 walks a day. She loves adventures and car rides so we go out and about a lot! I have reliable transportation and don’t mind driving to fit your needs. Currently I have so many dog / cat toys we could fund a small shelter. We have plenty of supplies to keep your fur babies happy and entertained. I have done work in many industries which required me to be adept at problem solving, reliable and trustworthy. High stress environments don’t bother me. We love the little ones and have fostered in the past, we just hate having to give them back!

About: I've grown up with a large variety of pets my entire life, ranging from dogs (big, medium and small), cats, fish, beared dragons, chinchillas, and hamsters. Therefore I am very comfortable when it comes to handling varying types of pets and their personalities. Currently a full time college student and also looking for a part time job, but all my classes are online so my availability is pretty flexible. I walk 2 of my dogs daily as well as play with them in my backyard for at least 15 minutes a day since they are younger and need the enrichment. I also feed all my pets daily and provide them with clean water and litter boxes for those who use it.

“We recently celebrated our daughter’s wedding and were away from home for more than a week. There was no doubt that Molly would be our choice to care for our cats Alvin and Lucy based on the love and care she has shown them during past visits. They absolutely adore her! We were able to relax and enjoy every minute of the festivities knowing that Molly was watching over our fur babies. She regularly posted the cutest pictures of them and kept us informed when Lucy’s chronic stuffiness worsened so that we could advise her to administer antihistamine. Molly simply is the best!”

About: Taken care of many cats and dogs! I have worked in pet boarding resorts! As long as your friendly pooch and I get along well, I will gladly care for your dog as schedule allows! I am a swim teacher, but on my free days and in my other free time can walk dogs and do drop in visits for any non aggressive dog, cat or caged pets. Aggressive pets will be taken on case by case basis if I’ll be able to safely handle. I currently live in a condo with my own dog, but during drop in visits and walks I’ll be paying attention to dog or cat interests and health needs. I’m willing to cater to the individual needs of the pet and treat them like my own. Also willing to care for non cat/dog pets within home as well.

About: Hello pet parents! I bring 15 years of deep pet care experience to Rover, rooted in a lifetime of loving animals. I actually grew up on a farm caring for a wide variety of different animals from a young age. This foundational upbringing instilled in me an instinctual understanding of animal behavior and welfare. As an adult dog owner, I experienced the rewards of adopting and completely training an Australian Shepherd and a Border Collie. Raising two incredibly intelligent, high-energy working breeds taught me the absolute necessity of patience, positive reinforcement, and clear structural routines. Today, my Aussie manages hypothyroidism, which means I am deeply familiar with specialized medical care. I am fully accustomed to administering daily medications exactly on schedule and maintaining a carefully balanced exercise routine to keep her healthy and thriving. I am currently an Orthodontic Intern at LECOM School of Dental Medicine. My hours are 8:15AM-11:45AM and 12:45PM-3:45PM. I am available to stop in around the morning, lunch, and afternoon hours. During house sitting or drop-in visits, I seamlessly maintain your pet’s familiar routine while providing engagement and love. I excel at balancing active play, including backyard games and safe, fun trips to local dog parks, with calm, reassuring comfort to ease separation anxiety. I respect your home’s security and rules, maintain total cleanliness, and send photo updates to keep you completely worry free.

About: I’ve always been an animal lover and have experience caring for pets of different personalities, ages, and needs. I understand that every pet has their own routine, preferences, and quirks, and I’m happy to follow their normal schedule as closely as possible. I’m comfortable with feeding, walks, potty breaks, playtime, giving lots of attention and affection, and making sure pets feel safe and comfortable while their owners are away. I’m also a big believer in communication, so I’m happy to send regular updates and photos so you know your pet is doing well. Whether your pet is energetic and loves to play or prefers a quiet day with lots of cuddles, I’m happy to give them the attention and care they need. 🐾❤️ My schedule varies, but I have flexibility throughout the week and can work with your pet’s routine. I’m available for daytime walks and drop-in visits, and I’m happy to coordinate a schedule that gives your pet the attention, exercise, and care they need while you’re away. Your pet’s safety and comfort are my top priorities. I’ll follow your instructions carefully and keep your pet in a safe, comfortable environment. I understand every pet has different routines and needs, and I’m happy to accommodate feeding schedules, medications, walks, playtime, and other care instructions. I’ll treat your home and your pet with the same care and respect I would want for my own.

Destiny did a wonderful job taking care of my pets. She came over to meet the pets ahead of time she showed up when she said she would. She had great communication. She was very friendly, very eager to help. The best part is that my pets loved her. Destiny does a great job and there are absolutely no regrets.

FAQs for Cat Sitting - The Meadows

Frequently asked questions about Rover

The average cost of Cat Sitting in The Meadows is $28 per visit as of November 2026. Most bookings cost between $18 and $40 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 489 sitters on Rover offering Cat Sitting across The Meadows. 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 The Meadows. On Rover:

  • 87% of sitters can help with special care needs
  • 91% can help with giving oral medications or injections
  • 93% 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 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.
