“Megan did a great job taking care of Tiger while we were away, watered our plants, and even waged war on some ants that took advantage of us being gone! We would definitely use her services again in the future; she definitely eased the stress of being so far away from home with her updates and pictures!”

“Kelly was able to take care of Earl and Norm within short notice which I’m super grateful for! She spent plenty of time with them and kept me fully updated while I was away on vacation. She even left an adorable gift for them. I highly recommended Kelly for any of your Rover needs! She’s truly a gem and I would trust her to watch them again in the future. :)”

About: I really wish my husband and I could adopt a dog but our condo complex doesn’t allow them and it breaks my heart! Can I borrow yours for a couple hours?? I’ve always loved animals so taking care of them just seems so rewarding and fun for a part time job. I’ll get to hang out with dogs and cats regularly so it’s perfect for me! I always go the extra mile for my cats when it comes to their food because both of them have some dietary issues. Both are healthy and happy and have a great meal plan.

About: What truly sets me apart is my professional background. As a special education teacher with seven years of experience in the classroom, patience, structure, and the ability to adapt to individual needs are woven into everything I do. I bring that exact same mindset to pet care. I understand that every animal learns and communicates differently, and I excel at reading body language and adjusting my approach to make sure every pet feels safe, understood, and comfortable. ​Alongside having pets my entire life, I have spent the last 8 years providing dedicated pet care for family members and neighbors. Because of my teaching background, I am highly reliable when it comes to maintaining strict daily routines. This makes me particularly well-equipped to handle the unique needs of different life stages: ​Senior Care: I am incredibly patient and comfortable maintaining the slow, gentle pacing and strict medication or dietary schedules that senior pets often require to thrive in their golden years. ​Puppy Care & Training: I thrive on consistency and positive reinforcement. I am highly capable of maintaining the firm but gentle boundaries, frequent potty breaks, and structured play that young pets need while they are still learning their manners. ​Whether your pet needs quiet, gentle companionship or structured, engaging play, I have the experience, reliability, and heart to provide care that is perfectly tailored to them. I believe in complete transparency regarding my schedule so you know exactly when your pet is receiving my undivided attention: Summer Hours (Now – August): I am currently working a shorter schedule and am fully available for walks, drop-ins, and playtime every day after 1:30 PM. Fall Hours (Starting in September): I will be working my regular full-time schedule until 4:00 PM. However, my evenings will be completely open and dedicated to after-work walks, dinner routines, and evening companionship! I look forward to meeting your best friend and providing them with the highest level of care! I know firsthand that leaving your furry family members can be stressful. My goal is to provide a safe, engaging, and loving environment so you can have complete peace of mind while you are away. I treat every animal in my care with the exact same affection and attentiveness I give my own. My Experience I have been surrounded by pets my entire life, which has given me a deep, intuitive understanding of the daily care, patience, and affection animals require. For the past 8 years, I have been the trusted, go-to pet sitter for my neighbors and extended family. This hands-on experience has taught me how to adapt to different temperaments, respect established household rules, and quickly recognize when a pet might be feeling anxious. As a special education teacher, patience, compassion, and structure are at the core of who I am—and I bring those same qualities into how I care for your pets.

About: I love dogs and taking them on walks. I have 3 cats of my own and I love to play with their toys with them. I’ve found that dogs love to cuddle with me, and I would love to get them outside! I am willing to work with whatever works for your pet! I am pretty much available all summer! I love to take walks in the morning, but I can do whenever you prefer. I can stop by later on to check on them as well. Whatever works for you! When I go to my boyfriend’s house, I play with their dogs all day long and take them on walks later in the afternoon after it’s cooled down outside. I have 3 cats of my own, I play with them throughout the day, give them treats in the middle of the day, and give them dinner at night. 1 of them chooses to lay with me at night. I had 1 cat for 10 years but he recently passed away. He did everything with me, he went on walks with me outside and loved car rides surprisingly. He would lay with me all night, every night. I’ve found that dogs LOVE to cuddle with me as well!

About: Hi! My name is Amanda and I’m a dependable animal lover with experience caring for dogs of different sizes and personalities. I’ve had dogs and cats all my life, which has given me a strong understanding of animal care and behavior. I have experience with large breeds including German Shepherds and Huskies, chocolate labs and small breeds as well so I’m comfortable with energetic dogs and long walks. I understand how important pets are to a family and will treat your pet like my own while providing safe, loving, and reliable care. I work Monday- Friday from home so your baby will almost never be alone while staying over. My morning normally begins around 6a.m. With my day ending around midnight. *Please note for sittings I unable to stay overnight. I have a large fenced in yard perfect for catching some sun rays and getting the zoomies out. I do have a pup. However if you would like them to be separated I can keep them separated on different floors in my home.

About: My extensive experience in pet care is founded on a deeply rooted love for animals and a commitment to providing top-notch service. What sets me apart from other sitters is my personalized approach tailored to each pet's unique needs and personality. Whether it's walking a puppy, or providing gentle care for senior pets, I have a versatile skill set that ensures every furry friend in my care receives the attention and support they deserve. My ability to adapt to various situations and my keen understanding of animal behavior enable me to create a safe and comfortable environment where pets thrive. Don't think I just stop at Cats and Dogs! I was a professional pet sitter for years and have watched and cared for Guinea Pigs, Hamsters, Fishes and a Pigeon (yes even a pigeon). I currently have 8 year old cat Begbie (gorgeous, grumpy and full of sass) 2 1/2 year old cat Dexter (always has his tuxedo on ready to crash events and full of spice) 3 guinea pigs (Norman, Joel and Donnie), they currently reside in their own room (with fences around the outlets), where they have plenty of room to forage, hide, run, whatever their tiny hearts desire. In essence, my passion for pets, sets me apart as a pet sitter who goes above and beyond to exceed expectations and provide peace of mind to pet owners. One of the biggest perks of having a flexible schedule right now? I have plenty of time to give your pets the attention they deserve! I currently have very flexible daytime/nighttime availability, which means I can accommodate a variety of pet-sitting needs, including drop-in visits, walks, feeding, playtime, and plenty of companionship. I’m also able to spend extra time with pets who need a little more attention or simply don’t enjoy being left alone for long periods. Need someone to stop by during the day? I’m your person! Have a pet who needs multiple visits? Let’s talk! Have a senior pet who needs a little extra TLC? Absolutely! Have a furry friend who thinks a 20-minute visit is simply unacceptable? I understand their demands. 😂 Because my schedule is flexible, I’m happy to work with you to create a routine that keeps your pets comfortable and maintains as much of their normal schedule as possible. Your schedule may be busy. Mine is currently wide open—and your pets are more than welcome to fill it! 🐶🐱🐹🐦 Availability varies by day and booking, so please reach out and let’s see what works best for you and your pets. Whether I’m caring for your pet in their home or caring for my own in our home, my number-one priority is making sure they feel safe, comfortable, loved, and completely spoiled—in the best possible way! I believe keeping their routine as normal as possible is key. I follow your instructions for feeding, medications, walks, litter box care, playtime, and any special routines your pet has. I also make sure they get plenty of attention and companionship because I know pets can miss their humans just as much as humans miss them. I pay close attention to behavior and look for anything unusual, such as changes in appetite, energy, bathroom habits, or mood. If something doesn’t seem right, I’ll let you know promptly. I’ll also treat your home with the same respect I would my own—clean, secure, and exactly as you left it. I have experience with cats and small animals and understand that every pet has a different comfort level. Some want to play, some want cuddles, some want to explore, and some would prefer to stare at me from across the room while silently judging my life choices. I respect all of these personalities! 😂 Most importantly, I don’t believe pet sitting is simply checking a box on a to-do list. It’s about building trust, providing companionship, following your pet’s routine, and making sure they feel happy and secure while you’re away. You enjoy your time away. I’ll handle the treats, belly rubs, zoomies, and occasional feline attitude. 🐾

About: I’ve been raised in multiple households that all have had pets small to big, and young to old! I’m the type of pet owner to give my dogs cold water on a hot day. Or change out the water when I see a spec. I have a different heart for animals, as anyone should. Can’t wait to keep my pet journey going! I would love to spend time with animals, as it relieves my stress and has been proven in my life, to help me remain patient and leveled headed in stressful situations. Excited to see what these pets have in store for me! I take care of a little kitty named Romeo! I am always picking up after, and cleaning Romeo. Hygiene is important even for PETS! Having clean food and water, necessary toys to entertain them, and keeping their potty areas clean is very important in my household.

About: With a lifetime of experience caring for both dogs and cats, I bring reliability, calm confidence, and genuine affection to every pet I look after. I understand routines, behavior cues, and how to create a stress‑free environment for animals of all ages. You can trust that your pet will receive attentive care, clear communication, and a safe, comfortable space. Your peace of mind, and your pet’s happiness, are always my top priorities. Animals have always been part of my everyday life, so pet care blends seamlessly into my routine. I’m used to balancing work, errands, and pet responsibilities, from morning play sessions to evening wind downs. Spending time with animals is something I genuinely enjoy, so it never feels like an interruption. I provide all pet care directly in my clients’ homes, where animals feel safest and most comfortable. I follow each pet’s normal routine closely, including feeding, walks, litter care, playtime, and any special instructions, so nothing in their day feels unfamiliar or stressful. I pay attention to their habits, moods, and comfort levels, and I make sure their space stays clean, calm, and consistent while their family is away. My goal is always to keep pets relaxed, happy, and cared for in the environment they know best.

FAQs for Cat Sitting - Timbuctoo

Frequently asked questions about Rover

The average cost of Cat Sitting in Timbuctoo is $17 per visit as of November 2026. Most bookings cost between $14 and $38 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 1,303 sitters on Rover offering Cat Sitting across Timbuctoo. 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 Timbuctoo. On Rover:

  • 85% of sitters can help with special care needs
  • 89% can help with giving oral medications or injections
  • 89% 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.
