About: Most of my pet-care experience comes from being a pet owner, along with helping family and friends with their dogs when they needed someone they could trust. I’ve cared for dogs with anxiety and stranger-danger issues, including two dogs who needed a little extra patience and time to become comfortable with me. That experience taught me that not every dog is going to immediately run up and say hello—and that’s okay. I don’t force interaction or expect every pet to warm up on my timeline. I let them set the pace. I’m comfortable following a pet’s normal routine, including feeding, walks, playtime, potty breaks, and whatever little routines make them feel comfortable and secure. I’m also very big on communication with their people, because I know how much easier it is to relax when you know your pet is doing okay. What probably sets me apart most is that I’m not looking at this as simply stopping by to complete a list of tasks. I genuinely care about how the pet is feeling while their person is away. My goal is for them to feel safe, comfortable, and cared for—and for you to feel like you left them with someone you can trust. Pet care fits nicely into my routine because I’m intentionally keeping my schedule flexible so I can be available during the day when pets may need someone to check in on them. I currently have availability for walks and drop-in visits throughout the week, and I’ll only accept bookings that I know I can reliably commit to. I don’t want to overbook myself or leave a pet waiting longer than expected. I’m also a big believer in communicating clearly ahead of time about schedules, routines, and what your pet needs. If I agree to care for your pet, I want you to be able to count on me. For now, I’m only accepting bookings where I care for pets in their own home. I want them to be able to stay in the environment they’re already comfortable and familiar with, rather than adding the stress of going somewhere new. Before a booking, I’ll make sure I understand your pet’s routine, any quirks or behaviors I should know about, feeding instructions, medications if applicable, where supplies are located, and what to do if something unexpected comes up. When I’m in your home, I’ll treat it with the same respect I would want someone to show mine. I’ll make sure doors and gates are secure, follow your instructions, and keep your pet’s safety my first priority. I’m also happy to provide updates and photos during visits. I know that trusting someone with your pet—and giving them access to your home—is a big deal. I want you to feel comfortable knowing exactly how things are going while you’re away.
“Austin was amazing with our three cats! Including one of our older cats that’s special needs & requires medicine. He was detailed with his updates, made sure to spend plenty of time at the house, and left the area in the same condition for when we came home. We knew we could enjoy our time away because our animals were being taken care of so well. Thank you again!”
“This was my first time booking with Gabbi and she was great with our pups. She was able to come check on my two very energetic dogs (Jack Russell Terrier and Lab). She did an excellent job of keeping us updated during the drop-in and provided photos. Very sweet and would definitely book with her again in the future.”
“Logan is a wonderful pet sitter! Logan took excellent care of our two cats and home and followed instructions exactly, as well as staying late one night to help get our cat in. Highly recommend!”
About: I’ve cared for a wide variety of animals since high school, from farm animals to the typical household pets we love as part of the family. I'm currently in between jobs at the moment. Took a bit of a career shift in my life allowing my schedule to be opened from 6am-3pm I have a fenced yard and one orange tabby to keep me company. I do have a 4 year old son but he is at school during the days which would allow me to effectively look after your pets. No dogs in my house either to make it more of a smooth process
About: I have always had pets growing up as a child (Dogs, cats, birds etc) and my love for them has grown into my adulthood even more. I have a passion for learning and understanding all different types of animals. My experience in Pet Care is from having my own pets and caring for family, friends and especially have a soft spot for rescues. I had a Jack Russell and am very good with hyper or anxious dogs. I also have been pet sitting on Rover and with clients for almost 2 years now. Do you need a vacation? No problem! I’m available any time or day of the week to take care, walk or play with your pet. I can stay with your pet the entire time. I’m very good at following instructions and sending pictures or videos and updates. I will love and take care of your pet as if they were my own.
“Demariana has truly gone above and beyond for me and my cat. I cannot begin to thank her for the kindness and service she provided during a difficult holiday season. She is a wonderful communicator and really went the extra mile for this sit.”

Frequently asked questions about Rover
As of October 2026, there are 1,750 sitters on Rover offering Cat Sitting across Tioga. 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.

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.
