About: I’ve always had a special place in my heart for animals. I see “pets” as people; they are not just animals; they are family. Ever since I was young, neighbors, family members, friends, and even my former cheer coach have trusted me enough to care for their pets. I have experience staying in clients’ homes for extended periods of time, making sure their pets are fed, walked, loved, and given plenty of attention while their owners are away. I understand how important it is to have someone you can fully trust with your baby, and I always treat every animal I care for as if they were my own. I grew up with animals in my house. We’ve always had Dachshunds (Wiener dogs) and multiple cats at a time. Even though I’ve never had a big dog of my own, I’ve been a sitter for many family friends with black labs and golden retrievers. I hope one day I’ll be able to have one of my own! I’m currently a SCAD student who just finished her 5 week summer courses and I’m looking for ways to make some money before school starts. My weeks are fully free without class. I can take your dogs on walks or play with them at the dog park. I have also previously walked a cat in a stroller, so if that’s something you’re interested in doing, I would. I do live in an apartment on downtown, so I don’t have much yard but there is some outside my building. We don’t have a big backyard which is a bummer. Sometimes military aircraft fly by our house and tend to be very loud for animals who have a hard time with noise. But it is close to Forsyth park!
“Michelle is wonderful! She has taken care of our doggies a few times now and each time we come home we can tell that they have been well taken care of. It is so nice to know that they are in good hands :)”
“Came home to a happy kitty! Sara was very professional and communicative and goes above and beyond, appreciated the little things she did that made it a weight off my shoulders knowing my girl was in great hands.”
“Sara was a true rock star when she took care of our corgis while we traveled. Sara was always on time, she gave detailed descriptions of her time at our house with our dogs. We will happily schedule Sara for more care with our fur babies while we travel. 5 stars!”
“Logan was fantastic! She was on time and took care of my dog as if he were her own. I felt completely at ease knowing he was in good hands. Highly recommend her for any dog walking needs!”
“Melissa is exactly the sitter every pet owner hopes to find. From the moment I reached out, Melissa set the tone for what turned out to be a genuinely stress-free experience. She responded quickly to my initial message and stayed communicative throughout — consistently sending updates with her photos. What really impressed me was how adaptable she was. When an unexpected schedule change came up on my end, she handled it gracefully and found a solution right away — truly resourceful in the best way. Reliability matters most when you’re trusting someone with your pet, and Melissa delivered on every front. She showed up when she said she would, followed care instructions carefully, and went above and beyond to make sure my cats felt comfortable and loved. If you’re looking for someone dependable who actually communicates and genuinely cares — look no further. Melissa has a returning client in me. 🐾”
“Morgan is such an excellent and caring pet friend! She took amazing care of my cat for five days that I was out of town and was sure to give me detailed updates about all her visits. I was so thrilled to have found such a wonderful, kind, and attentive caretaker for my pet. 11/10 stars!”
About: Attentive and friendly sitter dedicated to keeping your furry family members happy and safe. Detail oriented and centered on reliability, custom schedules, and undivided attention. I am available after 7:30pm weekdays until August 8th. After August 8th, I have open availability outside of flexible shifts at my part time job. I provide a safe, respectful, and attentive presence in your home ensuring your pets remain comfortable in their familiar surroundings. My focus is on maintaining routines and providing dedicated one-on-one affection, as well as keeping your home secure while you’re away.
“My cat Biggie enjoyed his time with Emily while I was out of town! She is a great communicator and helped me through my first time using Rover. She left my house clean and ensured my cat was well taken care of every day.”
“Amber is very nice and took great care of our Guinness while we were away for the weekend! She has great communication, made sure he got lots of pets, and sent us lots of pictures!”
About: Even as a kid I was taking care and spending time with my elderly dog Rusty, so dog care comes naturally to me. I will always stay with your pet and make sure they are always happy, fed, and full of love! I'm currently working between 25-40 hours but my relationship with my employer is amazing, I can request a schedule change or even take days off for when you need me I will always be attentive and aware to your pets needs and ensure they will never feel neglected and are given the love and care they more than deserve!
“Madeline was great for our drop in visits with my two crazy dogs! Georgia is quite the mess but Madeline seemed to have no issues handling her high energy and puppy behavior. Will definitely book with her again :))”
About: I have grown up my entire life with a household full of dogs and cats, so I know what it takes to care for them and bring them happiness. I have a puppy of my own right now and know how particular I can be about certain things, so any special requests or needs will be met by me. I am an advocate for training and can ensure you I will follow your instructions carefully. I love going on walks and am an active person, no better companion than a pup. I give my undivided attention to each pet and will make sure you feel at ease while you are away. I have experience with puppies and senior dogs as well as shelter pets through fostering. I am free on the weekends to help take your pet out on a walk or a visit while you are traveling/busy. I enjoy being outside, why not include a furry friend! I will take them on long, but safe walks and provide a lot of water. If I'm visiting a home, I will be sure to always follow the owner's guidelines and make sure I leave the place better than I found it. Everyone will be happy!
About: I’ve lived with dogs my whole life, from medium to large, and lived with and cared for cats for many years. Animal care is a huge passion of mine, which is why I’ve cared for pets for friends, neighbors, and family. I am able to house watch and walk dogs, and care for both elderly and young dogs and cats. I work a part time job, and have time in my weekends and weekdays to care for pets from house watching to walking. We can work out whatever fits into that schedule. I can do extra tasks needed to keep a home maintained and make sure your pets are happy and healthy. Whether that’s chores or medication, specific eating or potty times, and so on.
“Alexandra was amazing with my high energy puppy and my cuddle bug dog. They loved their time with her. She completely put me at ease and made everything super easy so I could enjoy my time away. I'll definitely be calling her again.”

Cat parents share their Rover experiences - Thunderbolt
I can honestly say I’m someone who struggles to leave my dogs and fully enjoy vacation because I worry so much about them. Samantha completely changed that experience for me. Her calm, confident presence was so reassuring from the start. She was patient and intuitive with my very shy dogs/cats and in just a weekend she had a couple of real breakthroughs with them. That meant everything to me. It’s clear she genuinely cares and understands animals on a deeper level. I couldn’t recommend her more!

Frequently asked questions about Rover
The average cost for Cat Sitting in Thunderbolt on Rover is $19.03 per visit (as of August 2026). However, all sitters set their own rates based on experience, location, and availability.

As of August 2026, there are 527 sitters on Rover offering Cat Sitting across Thunderbolt. 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 Thunderbolt. On Rover:

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.
