“Emma was amazing! I wish I could give her more than 5 stars. She took such great care of our elderly cat. And she was masterful at giving our cat her medicine! And she provided meaningful daily reports.”
About: I have 15 years of experience caring for dogs and cats, from quick drop-in visits and playtime to extended stays with overnight pet sitting. I grew up with my parents’ dogs and have always had a love for animals. I spent two weeks in California caring for a Golden Retriever. I have experience with multiple overnight stays, caring for 1–5 pets at a time. I understand that every pet has unique needs and routines, and I make sure they receive plenty of love and care. I’m reliable, attentive, and committed to keeping your pets safe, happy, and comfortable while providing updates and peace of mind while you’re away! I work from home so am available to work from anywhere. I love going on walks and can easily make that a part of a routine while caring for your animals. I am able to come over and watch your pets! I am used to various environments while pet-sitting. I am also available for walks and check-ins to make sure your pets feel taken care of.
“Emma is great with cats and very friendly! She did an excellent job attending to the needs of my cats who needed separate meals. Her updates and pictures were so sweet and it’s clear that she loved animals!”
“Gabrielle did a fantastic job. She sent us photos and updates. She even got our skittish cat out from under the bed sooner than we thought. The house was just as we left it. We will definitely be hiring Gabrielle and Rover in the future.”
About: What sets me apart is the genuine care I bring to every pet. I’ve had my cat for 8 years and have cared for family dogs, giving me experience with different personalities, routines, and needs. I’m patient, attentive, dependable, and I’ll treat your pets with the same love and attention I’d want for my own. Pet care fits naturally into my routine because I’m used to caring for my own cat every day. I make time for feeding, fresh water, litter box cleaning, playtime, and attention. I’m also flexible with my schedule and can make time for visits and care based on each pet’s needs and routine. I care for pets with patience, attention, and consistency. In a client’s home, I follow their normal routine closely, including feeding, fresh water, litter box cleaning, playtime, and plenty of attention. I’ll also respect their home, keep things clean, and make sure their pet feels safe and comfortable while they’re away.
About: I’ve taken care of, and grew up with, many different kinds of pets. Before moving out, I spent 10 wonderful years playing with, and caring, my family dog and cat! If you’d like, I’d love to meet, care for, and befriend your pets as well! I’m currently working full time Monday-Friday, but I have flexibility regarding my schedule. On weekdays, I’m more free in the afternoon but on weekends I’m free most of the day. I have a park next to where I live where I’d be able to take your pet out and play with him/her. My apartment is also pet friendly!

About: I've had my 18+ year old cat since he was a kitten and have been around cats and kittens for most of my life. We also have a 7 year old mini goldendoodle who we've trained and raised since he was a puppy so I'm pretty accustomed to being around animals. I will also send friendly updates with pictures or videos if wanted :) I was recently laid off from my corporate design job so I am free and flexible to help/watch your furry friend(s)! I'm available for walks, checkins, or pet-sitting throughout the week. I am available to come to your house in order to feed, walk, give medications, clean litter boxes, take outside, etc. I'm also available if you need a stay-in caretaker.
About: I’m a passionate (professionally trained) dog trainer with over four years of experience at one of the currently top rated and award winning doggie day cares, boarding and training facility in the metro area! My passion has taken me through professional boarding facilities and various sized playrooms, where I’ve learned the ins and outs of doggy behavior from playful pups, ones that are a little more on the spicy side, to the more reserved ones. what I truly love is helping pups thrive. I have been trained to use various tools if needed for your pup such as properly fitting a harness, a prong collar, and more. I will happily collaborate with you to create a perfect care plan including enrichment, walks, play time, brain games and structure. I have been successfully training dogs for 11 years with the past 4 being in a professional setting. I’m all about clarity, transparency and open communication. My current position at my full time job is the lead trainer and manager of a smaller group daycare for reactive pups of various degrees and pups that need structure. I’m fine with behavioral issues such as resource guarding, reactivity ect as long as it’s disclosed first. I also have a senior GSD at home so I know how to provide compassionate care for our sugar faced friends! I’m always open for questions or comments and I send LOTS of pictures! I require a meet and greet before booking any services (unless it’s a last minute drop in or dog walk) I work full time as a dog trainer but I always make time to train and work my own dogs as well as being able to care for others pets. We can discuss your ideal schedule and figure out together the perfect plan. I’m available most evenings and weekends. I have a fully fenced yard, long lines and a couple favorite parks! I will always be transparent with pet parents about expectations with their pets. What I would do with a senior pup is different than a young dog. I’m happy to provide my companionship and love for dogs who would rather snuggle and just be around people or play lots of fetch and do lots of brain games for dogs who need that. Usually it’s a mix between the two, some play, lots of love.
About: I have 2 cats of my own whom I love dearly, so I take the responsibility of pet-sitting very seriously. Things like daily enrichment, supervision, and providing a safe environment are my top priority. Fun fact: I watched my cousin's flying squirrel once as a kid! I have plenty of time to take care of your furry friends! I have 2 cats of my own that I care for on a daily basis, so caring for animals is already a part of my daily routine. I love to send updates and photos to pet parents throughout the day and I am super easy to reach over the phone if you need anything! I also like to give homes a small tidy up before I leave (free of charge) which would include removing pet hair, wiping down things down, and leaving the space better than I found it.
“Maggie did a wonderful job taking care of my 10 year old Boston Terrier Stella. From the great pictures she sent as well as the updates it was obvious the Stella was in good hands! Dependable, punctual and an obvious pet lover. I Highly recommend Maggie!”

About: Hello! My name is Tyler and I've been around animals my entire life. I am very comfortable with dogs and cats, including in my home, as we have a four-year old Frenchie, Odie, and two-year-old Boston Terrier, Marzipan. I am a work-from-home sports journalist who can leave the house, often at specific times, to meet your needs. I also have the flexibility to potentially stay at your home or be there during the day to interact with your animal, as I can work remotely as long as I have internet. I have been helping watch my friends' animals over the last 10-15 years, giving me plenty of experience to help with your animal and give them all the pets they want while I'm there! I am comfortable with doing things like giving medication, putting in a crate, take on walks, etc. Please feel free ot reach out if you have any questions! I am a work from home sports journalist with a very flexible schedule. I do have multiple YouTube shows I do each week where I would need to be in my office, but those are around 11 and 6 on both Mondays and Thursdays. I can do most of my work remotely, so I can sit for you by either hanging out during the day or possibly staying the night. I will treat your dogs like I do my own: with care, compassion, and a lot of love. I am a kind hearted soul myself, and often connect very well with dogs. Whether you need them to be walked, on strict rest, get lots of playtime, etc, I will gladly do that for your pup like I do for my own at home.
About: Hi! I grew up in a family that always had a house full of pets, so caring for animals became a natural part of my life from a young age. I now have two cats of my own and have been pet sitting for others since I was 16. I have extensive experience with both house sitting and pet sitting, and I always make sure your home is left clean and your pets feel safe, comfortable, and well cared for. I know it can be stressful for pets when their family is away, so I make it a priority to give them plenty of attention, affection, and love while you’re gone. My goal is for both you and your pets to have complete peace of mind! I’m also comfortable caring for pets with different energy levels, including senior pets and pets with special routines or medication needs. I currently work full-time in the jewelry industry, but caring for animals is something I truly enjoy and love incorporating into my routine! My typical work hours are 11:00 AM–7:00 PM, with Thursdays and Sundays off. My general availability is: • Sunday: Available all day • Wednesday: 8:00–10:00 AM & 5:00 PM onward • Thursday: Available all day • Friday: 8:00–11:00 AM If you need care outside of these times, feel free to reach out! I’m happy to see if I can make arrangements to fit your pet’s needs. 🐾 Your pet’s safety, comfort, and happiness are always my top priorities. I know every pet has their own routine, and I’ll do my best to keep things as normal as possible while you’re away. I’ll follow all care instructions carefully, keep your home clean and secure, and provide regular updates with photos so you can have peace of mind. I treat every pet like they’re my own and strive to create a calm, loving environment until you’re home again.
About: Hi! I’m an animal communication researcher with a B.A. in psychology and biology, and I’ve been passionately caring for dogs, specifically rescue dogs, since I was 13 years old. I currently live with a senior rescue dog, so canine companionship is a central part of my daily life! My scientific background gives me a unique perspective on dog walking and care: I understand canine body language, stress triggers, and behavioral signals, allowing me to create a safe, engaging, and stress-free environment for every dog. As I currently work full-time, I would be available for drop-in visits and dog walks on Monday through Friday's from 6 am-8 am and 6 pm-8 pm. I am also available anytime on Saturday and Sunday. When caring for your pet in your home, my priority is keeping their regular routine intact so they feel safe, calm, and happy while you’re away. Safety & Routine First: I closely follow your instructions for feeding, routines, pet medications, and house rules. I will make sure doors and gates are secure, entryways are clear, and your home is kept neat and respected. Dog drop-in visits and walks: - Tailored Dog Walks: Walks are adapted to your dog's age and energy levels. From structured and mentally stimulating walks for energetic dogs, to slow and gentle strolls for senior dogs, I have experience with a wide range of dog personalities, activity levels, and ages. - Behavior-Conscious Care: Using my background in animal communication research, I monitor body language for signs of heat exhaustion, anxiety, or leash reactivity, ensuring every walk is low-stress and positive. - Post-Visit Updates: After every visit, you’ll receive detailed updates and photos, including notes on bathroom breaks, water bowl top-offs, energy levels, and any fun highlights from our time together! Cat drop-in visits: - Feeding & Fresh Water: I strictly follow your feeding routines, medications, wash bowls, and ensure fresh water is always available. - Litter Box Maintenance: Regular, meticulous scooping and area cleanup to keep your cat's environment clean and comfortable. - Play & Mental Enrichment: Interactive play sessions using feather wands, puzzle toys, or laser pointers for energetic cats, or quiet, gentle company and brushing for seniors or introverts. - Behavior-Conscious Care: Using my background in science and animal communication research, I recognize subtle stress signals, environmental triggers, and comfort cues, ensuring your cat feels completely safe and relaxed while you're away. - Detailed Updates: After every visit, you’ll receive a thorough report message complete with photos, notes on eating/litter box habits, and highlights of our hangout time.
About: I've had cats and dogs since I was very young. I love learning each animal's unique personality. I work from home and have a very flexible schedule, which allows me to tend to the needs of each animal and pet in my care. I work from home and have a few other odd jobs. I have children who are in schooling full time now, so my schedule is very flexible! I have an extra crate in case clients do not have one. I like to keep these handy to keep animals safe during an overnight if needed. I have a yard that is unfortunately not fenced in, but I love to walk any dogs in my care in the grassy areas behind and around my house.
About: I’ve taken care of animals for as long as I can remember. I love dogs and cats all the same. I’ve had experience with large and small animals. I work from home a few days a week to give me time to check on your furry friends. I also have time in the evenings and weekends. I have a fenced in yard and years of walking experience. Im comfortable with all animal sizes. I currently have a lovely cat named Jerome! My schedule is flexible and it helps me be available to assist in all your pet care needs and to bond with your furry friends. I work from home a few days a week to allow for time to drop in or work remotely. Weekends and evening are available given proper scheduling. I’m respectful and thoughtful about animal care and the homes of those I visit. I’ve had the opportunity to do multiple overnight stays and feel comfortable and confident in keeping both a safe environment for your pet and leaving your house exactly how you left it.

Cat parents share their Rover experiences - Tonka Bay
Paige did a great job with our two cats, stopped in daily at the same time and played with and fed them, cleaned the litter box and sent us daily updates and photos, and all went well! And the best thing was, unlike other times when we've been gone, the cats had no behavioral issues, didn't chew anything up or leave poop surprise anywhere to show their defiance-- everything was normal when we got home and they seem perfectly content :)

Frequently asked questions about Rover
As of November 2026, there are 853 sitters on Rover offering Cat Sitting across Tonka Bay. 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.

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.
