“Ciarra was excellent with my kitties. Even my shy boy was coming out within the first couple of days, and by the end of the week, he was full on playing. She has a kind energy that let them know they were safe!”

“Leaving Hazel for several days is never easy but Sara has made it so much easier and always leaves the place so neat and tidy and Hazel is always happy when I get home.”

“Jessie made a great impression on me and my cats! She was super attentive and sent great updates when she arrived. She worked with me on the times I was wanting for her to stop by and check in/feed them. I can tell my cats miss her and i loved working with her!”


About: I grew up with a big animal-loving family. I currently care for 2 dogs of my own who I love with my who heart. Growing up, I took advantage of volunteer opportunities and small pet-sitting gigs whenever I got the chance. I love animals and I would love to make your pet feel happy and healthy! I am a graduate student currently with a very flexible schedule to do some pet care on the side. I tend to need breaks in between course loads and study sessions so taking care of your pet will be the perfect time away! I have 2 friends dogs to keep your pet company during any boarding visits as well as easy access to nearby parks and dog parks if that is something you are interested in! I love to explore so I am also happy to walk dogs in your neighborhood or play with them in your back yard!

“I can’t recommend Emma enough! She is extremely trustworthy, kind, and great at communicating. An emergency happened while I was away, and she rushed over immediately to handle it. She went above and beyond to make sure my cats were safe and kept me informed the entire time. Your pets will be in good hands with her! :)”


“Mia was absolutely wonderful with my dog! She was reliable, communicative, and clearly genuinely cared about him. She kept me updated while I was away and made sure he was happy, comfortable, and well taken care of. I felt completely at ease knowing he was with her, which made being away so much easier. I would definitely recommend Mia to anyone looking for a trustworthy and caring dog sitter. I’ll absolutely be reaching out to her again!”

“Hired Erin to housesit my two cat kids over Christmas and am blown away by her professionalism and genuine care for her craft. She was very easy to get a hold of, provided consistent (and fun) updates, and made sure I stayed in the loop so I could enjoy my time away without worry. She even cleaned the house and left music on for when I got home! Can’t say enough good things about Erin - truly a superstar sitter!”


About: From enormous dogs to disabled cats, I’ve owned them all! A proud shelter pet foster parent and adopter I’ve had 6 dogs 2 cats to call mine. My current furry companions include Lily, a 125lb Dane-Lab mix who loves to play, and Sammy, a one eyed tuxedo cat who gets eye drops (and extra head scratches) everyday. A friend to all, even if they aren’t friends back, I’m comfortable around everyone from the shyest to the most affectionate. I’ve been walking, sitting, boarding, and loving animals for more than half my life and am excited to meet and care for yours now too! A part time college student I’m available absolutely any time I’m not in classes (Monday and Wednesday from 10-2 and Tuesday and Thursday from 1-5). Weekdays, weekends, holidays, overnights, no problem! I’m used to taking care of my own 24/7 and you can expect them same for your own. Coming from big yards and small apartments alike, I’m used to a wide variety of pet care environments. Walks around the city, running around the yard, or even a day trip to pet friendly parks/beaches are all personal favorites, but each pet is different so just let me know what yours need! I’m comfortable with litter, cleaning up messes, and am quick to learn special setups or equipment.

About: Hi! My name is Meg and here's a little bit about my experience as a pet sitter. I have been pet sitting for friends and family since 2021, cats and dogs both. That has meant everything from the easy stuff, feeding and walks and company, to the parts people actually worry about: giving medications on schedule, keeping up with monthly preventatives, and handling the unglamorous days when a dog has an upset stomach and needs watching. I have done the 2am cleanup and the anxious pacing by the door. None of it fazes me. One sit still stands out to me. A family friend needed someone last minute to care for their two dogs, who both had colds, while they were away for a week. They were understandably worried about leaving sick dogs behind. I stayed with the pair day and night, giving every dose of medication on time and just being there with them through it. By the time their owners got home, both dogs were one step away from a full recovery. That week is a good example of what I bring to a sit: I don't just check in, I stay present until the job is actually done right. I am happy to handle whatever your pet needs: boarding at my place, house sitting at yours, drop-in visits, walks, medication, or anything else specific to your routine. Just tell me what normal looks like for them and I will hold it as close as I can while you're away. I have also fostered cats and dogs, which gave me practice with nervous animals and slow, careful introductions. My own dog Lady came to me as a foster and never left. She is 5 years old, lab mix and an easygoing host. She would be the only other pet your dog is around. I'm currently working part-time so your pet will have to be alone for 5-6 hours only 2 to 3 days a week. My working days are also quite flexible so I can work it out according to your pet's needs! Either my home or yours, I will match your baby's routine and needs. Same feeding times, walk schedules, rules around furniture and crates. In your home, I will keep to your house rules and keep the space as you expect it when you're back! My home is quiet and pet friendly, with a fenced yard, walking routes in the neighborhood and a metal crate is available if your dog prefers one. Introductions with my dog, Lady will happen slowly and on neutral ground, and I do not leave dogs unsupervised together until I know how they get along. You will get many updates and photos while your pet is with me.
About: Growing up, animals have always had a special place in my heart. While I’m a responsible and hardworking person, I take pet sitting further with a deep sense of empathy and love for your furbabies. Whenever friends or family needed a sitter, I was the first person they’d call. I’m communicative, flexible, and responsive and can promise you your pet will be in the best hands! I’m currently unemployed and will soon be a student at SCAD with a light schedule. I have my own car and am happy to show up for last minute or in advance requests, with very open availability. I’m more than happy to work with you to accommodate your needs! Your home is your safe and private place, and I will treat it with the upmost respect and care. As for pet care, I prioritize maintaining their familiar routines to keep them comfortable and stress free. I also send frequent photo updates so you always know your pet is safe, happy, and loved!

About: I’ve had my own cats since I was 9 years old, as well as my families dog that I would frequently take on walks and watch while my parents were at work when I’m back in town. Growing up I was always the go-to pet sitter for my cul-de-sac as pretty much everyone me knew how much I loved animals. Nowadays I help out my friends with their pets when they need it (cats, dogs, fish, and reptiles of various ages). I am a quick learner and always aim to make sure the animals feels as safe and comfortable as possible. I am currently a full time student, however I still have plenty of time to take care of your animals. I am available Friday-Sunday most weeks, before 11am or after 2pm on Tuesdays/Thursdays, and before 11am or after 5pm on Monday/Wednesday. My schedule is also very flexible if we need to work something out! I unfortunately am unable to keep animals at my residence, but I am more than happy to come by your place and recreate your typical care schedule!
About: You can count on me rain, shine, or last minute changes. I’m careful, consistent, and follow every routine exactly how you like it. Your home and pet are cared for with total respect and safety. Hi! I’m Lilli! I absolutely love animals and would love to help take care of your pets while you’re away. I’m responsible, caring, and dependable, and I’m comfortable with feeding, giving fresh water, potty breaks, walks, playtime, and giving your pets lots of attention. I know every pet has their own routine and personality, so I’m happy to follow whatever works best for them. I’ll also keep you updated during visits and can send pictures so you know they’re doing well. I’d love to meet you and your pets and go over everything they need! I follow your pet’s routine, give them one on one attention, keep their space clean, and make sure they feel comfortable and loved whether that’s in your home, or referring to mine specifically !

About: I have loved animals for as long as I can remember. I started pet sitting at ten years old and absolutely fell in love with providing quality care to other's fur-babies! I have extensive experience in petsitting cats and dogs of all sizes and ages from puppies/kittens to seniors. I have experience with administering medications, as well as experience with dogs with disabilities who just need a little extra TLC! I adore caring for these babies whether it be through walking, playing, or just getting in some snuggles! I am currently a college student with class only on Mondays and Wednesdays, so I have plenty of time during the week and weekend to provide care! I like to start my mornings early, but I can also be a night owl, so I am very flexible with time and am happy to help when I am needed. Although I am in college and cannot provide care in my home, I am more than happy to come over and care for the pets in a clients home! I am fully aware of the fact a new visitor can be nerve wracking or stressful for some pets, so I always take it slow and make sure that your baby is 100% comfortable. All pets are different and some take more time to warm up than others, so I am very patient and perfectly happy to meet your pet where they are. :)

Alexandra is very communicative and follows directions well. When an issue came up she informed me immediately and did what she could to address it. I appreciated her honesty and how she kept me in the loop. She cares so much about taking care of our girls to the best of her ability.

Once again, Madelynn exceeds my expectations! She makes one of the most stressful things (leaving my babies alone) feel so much easier & goes above & beyond to ensure their wellbeing & comfort. You can really tell she cares about all pets are they are her own, & for that i am so grateful!

I can’t recommend Emma enough! She is extremely trustworthy, kind, and great at communicating. An emergency happened while I was away, and she rushed over immediately to handle it. She went above and beyond to make sure my cats were safe and kept me informed the entire time. Your pets will be in good hands with her! :)

Ryan is always so considerate and a fantastic choice in house / pet sitter! We’ve had him stay while we’re gone / check on Tippy and we always get timely and thorough updates. We’re never worried about her while we’re away because Ryan always has it covered! Could not recommend him more!

The average cost of Cat Sitting in Thunderbolt is $20 per visit as of November 2026. Most bookings cost between $16 and $28 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.

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.

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.
