I was frantically looking for someone to drop in and walk my two dogs super last minute, and Kaitlyn saved the day. She followed instructions and was able to handle my big German Shepherd and smaller Shepherd. I am grateful to have found her and would definitely request her again - thank you, Kaitlyn!

About: I've had a lifelong passion for working with dogs and cats, and I've spent the past eight years dedicated to the pet industry. Over the years, I've cared for dogs of all sizes and temperaments, from puppies to seniors. Whether it's feeding, potty walks, playtime, or grooming, I have extensive experience and a deep love for caring for furry friends. I’m excited to share my expertise with your pet! Pet care fits perfectly into my daily routine as I have an open schedule and am not working full-time elsewhere. This allows me to provide flexible and attentive care to your pet, ensuring they get the attention, playtime, and routine they need throughout the day! In my home, I create a comfortable, pet-friendly environment where your furry friend can feel safe and relaxed. I ensure they have plenty of space to play, rest, and enjoy their time with me. I also follow any specific instructions you provide to make sure their routine stays consistent. When caring for pets in your home, I prioritize their comfort and well-being by maintaining their usual routines, whether it’s feeding, potty breaks, or playtime. I provide plenty of attention, love, and care while ensuring your home remains safe and tidy. My goal is to offer a stress-free experience for both you and your pet!

About: Your dogs will be able to go to the dog park and given treats for good deeds. They'll be able to play with toys and have a constant water supply. I am open to washing and grooming the dog as well if you ask. They will get all my attention. Regarding to my schedule, I go to college everyday at 2pm and I arrive home at different times each day. I am completely available during the weekends. I have had experience before of dog sitting and the owner can vouch for me that I did a great job. I walked the dog, cleaned up their business, made sure the house was tidy, I grabbed their mail when they asked, and more. Your dog will be well taken care of.

About: When you want someone who does much more than the bare minimum, that’s where I come in. Pets can have a difficult time when you’re gone. They’re nervous about having someone else in the house and they miss you. Having someone there who truly cares about what your pets may need in order to have as much peace as possible until your home matters. Do they feel more comfortable with my hand coming from the side or the back when they’re pet? I’ll find out! Do they feel more comfortable with me in a certain line of site until they get to know me a bit? I’ll find out what that is! Their favorite toy? What makes them anxious? What makes them happy? I’ll find it! I bring a patient, calm and playful energy to bring as much comfort as I can. Pet care is my full time job right now! I have the availability I need so your pet isn’t lonely! It helps with bathroom needs and an overall homey environment. This is dependent on what each client and pets need. I’m versatile, and open to individual needs. I do more than take them to the bathroom and feed them. I like to make sure they feel loved and comforted and each pet has their own way that they experience that.

About: Hi my name is Ash! I currently don’t have a job so I’m available for all services at any time. I’ve been around different types of dogs my entire life. I love to keep dogs entertained and happy by playing with them, walking with them, letting them run around the house, feeding them yummy treats and food, and give lots of cuddles! I’m very good at keeping an eye on dogs when they are wearing a cone or if they are sick. I have experience on giving antibiotics to dogs. I usually let dogs out to go pee every 2-3 hours. I love all animals and am so excited to take care of your dog! I have an apartment but I live close to plenty of dog parks! My schedule is open I don’t work at a physical place right now so I have more than enough time to care for my dogs and yours! I have a nice spacious apartment your dog can run around in and I will always keep an eye on what they are doing. I always make sure there isn’t anything they could get into that would hurt them. Any mess that is made will also always be cleaned up.

About: I have taken care of dogs and cats since I learned how to wash dishes! I’ve walked dogs and puppies from 10lbs to larger dogs of 120lbs + When I spend time with animals, even in short amounts of times, special bonds are formed. Both parties just have a blast to be honest. I’ve wanted to be a Veterinarian my whole life but as things have changed this is the closest thing to it. I hope you’ll choose me as your trusted sitter! I’m currently in the military Active Duty Shore. I do drop in visits around lunch time, and I’m up early in the morning for early morning walks and feedings before work starts on weekdays. After 4pm we play, go for walks, eat and play again. On weekends I’m available whenever. Sundays mornings are exceptions, being that I attend church. I only take care of crate trained animals in my home. Animals who are potty trained, and nothing bigger than 25lbs. I do live in a gated community with plenty of room to walk and run around outdoors. I also have a spacious living room and dining room area with no furniture. Spacious for small animals, their crates, and their zoomies! I do not have any pets or children. When it comes to clients homes, I clean when needed. And I stick to whatever schedule I’ve been given.

About: I have worked with pets for over 10 years caring for and feeding, also medicating if needed. I have worked with and owned various animals such as reptiles, amphibians, spiders, dogs, cats, chinchillas, ferrets, birds and many more. I love working closely with animals and sharing connections with them. I was a dog trainer for Petco for 3 years, and plan to eventually open my own animal training center and sanctuary for large breed canines and felines. I have experience in bathing dogs and cats including nails, teeth, and trimming new growth hair around the face, feet, and sanitary areas. I can offer your pet a great time and plenty of love and attention while you are away, and maybe even some new tricks if allowed. Thank you and I can not wait to meet you and your beautiful pet! Trying to establish a new clientele, I am currently open to any time (weekdays or weekends) you need me to spend with your fur babies. I will tend to your pets accordingly, based off any notes you provide or any special requests they may need. I like for your pet(s) to be as comfortable as possible when they are with me.

About: We own a Border Collie, tuxedo cat, chickens, a snake, and a goat. I grew up around animals too and I've learned a lot from my mom and have had the experience not only caring for multiple dogs, but also cats, rats, horses, rabbits, chickens, goats, hamsters, snakes, and hermit crabs. I have a sensitive heart for all animals. I promise to take good care of your furry family members so that you can relax and know that they are in good hands. We have a high energy dog, a cat, a snake, chickens and a goat and taking care of them is part of my regular routine. Animal lover here, so I can guarantee that your pet or pets will be given the love, attention, and care that I give my own.

About: I’ve taken care of all types of animals since the age of 6! I started pet sitting for neighbors and friends when I was 10. I’ve trained a few dogs how to sit and shake, I have a pig and have also taught her how to sit and speak for a treat! Currently I work with pigs, chickens, horses, goats, dogs and cats. I have experience with the whole age range when it comes to dogs and cats! I volunteer at Feral Cat Collision, I trim nails, clean ears, give baths if needed as well! I’m starting my vet career in August of this year! In the meantime I’m looking to keep helping out people who have furry loved ones! When it comes to pet care, I feed my animals at morning and at night! This schedule won’t mess up with any new job I get because it’s the first thing I do when I wake up, the last thing I do before I go to bed. I have over 30 animals. Every weekend I clean cages/ corrals with my siblings! Dogs, goats, donkey, mini horse get washed every weekend as well! Feeding is every morning and night. When I help with clients I not only interact with the animals but bath when necessary, clean up the house if it’s wanted, clean the toys, the bed, and the water and food bowl! I’m always up for taking the animal on a walk too.

Marla was so amazing! She took such good care of our cat. She spent time with her, played with her, laughed with her, and made sure she had plenty of food, water, and a clean litter box every day. Our cat loved her. Marla is a natural, loving, animal person and our cat took to her immediately. We were traveling internationally and getting the daily pictures and videos were priceless so we knew our kitty cat was happy, and healthy, and taken care of. We were nervous about having someone in our home while we were away but all of that went away when we met Marla. She is someone you can trust with your pets, your home, and everything else. We will absolutely use Marla again and highly recommend her.

Frequently asked questions about Rover

The average cost for Cat Sitting in The Willows on Rover is $17.76 per visit (as of August 2026). However, all sitters set their own rates based on experience, location, and availability.

Rover makes budgeting the cost of Cat Sitting easy. As long as your dates and pet profiles are correct, the price you see before you book is the same price you pay for Cat Sitting. For more information on service fees, click here .

As of August 2026, there are 3,627 sitters on Rover offering Cat Sitting across The Willows. 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 The Willows. On Rover:

  • 92% of sitters can help with special care needs
  • 95% can help with giving oral medications or injections
  • 97% 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.
