“Thank you for watching Pickles and Chips even though it was a last minute request! She’s very quick to respond and accommodating. I will definitely ask her to watch our pups again!”
“Diane won over most of our cats — no small feat. The dog warmed up to her enough to let her take him for a walk. Everyone was happy and healthy when we returned home, and they hadn’t wrecked the house. Thank you, Diane! We’ll work with you again!”
“Oren did an amazing job. We had two drop-ins, and he played ball with our dog. He was so tired when we got home. Sent photos and even brought his cute little girl. Which I am sure our big dog was in heaven with her.”
About: I’ve cared for dogs since I was a teenager, worked in a kennel during grad school, and have extensive personal experience with senior and geriatric dogs, including mobility issues, medication routines, monitoring comfort, and hospice-style care. Currently a cat owner and love them too. I work mostly from home, so I can schedule my days around other obligations. I'm happy to do visits either during the work day or in morning or evening hours. I'm happy caring for any type of pet, I have experience with special diets, meds, putting dogs in crates, cats in carriers, mobility devices , etc. I also love to interact, talk to, and play with dogs, cats, birds, anything.
“We love working with Kari! She watches our two cats over weekends when we’re away. Our older cat is diabetic and Kari comes over twice a day to administer her insulin shot. The cats seem to love her and we appreciate having her!”
About: We have both personal and professional experience taking care of pets. Kama has been working in and with dog/cat kennels for 7+ years now. I (Bruce) have had dogs small and large pretty much my entire life, as well as a few cats here and there. We love animals and want the best care for your furry family members! Kama works from home so taking care of pet's immediate needs won't be a problem and Bruce is a real estate agent which allows for a flexible schedule. We have a fenced-in back yard with a 6-foot tall privacy fence, pet's run free in the home and we have an extra crate if needed.
About: Hi! My name is Hayley. I am 25 years old and have four of my own furry babies; Watson, Oscar, Scoobet- Doobert, & Emma. I am a grad student at OSU. I grew up with dogs, cats, turtles, guinea pigs, bunnies, lizards, and much more. Which has led me to become the animal lover that I am today. I have experience with caring for pregnant dogs and cats and have assisted in birth of some puppies. I also have experience with horses. I have worked with/ live with multiple puppies and kittens. I can help with training with puppies/dogs. No dog is ever too old! I love all animals, no matter how big or small. And I look forward to loving yours. See you soon! I currently am a full time online college student, my routine is pretty flexible with the right time notice. Feel free to ask me any questions. I find it best to care for your fur babies in your home where they are the most comfortable. This way your fur babies are the most happy and healthy.
About: From since before I can remember, I've always loved animals. As a kid I wanted to a dog in the worst way but we never had the room. When I was 10, our first family dog showed up under the Christmas tree and I was hooked. There have been few times in my life where I haven't had a dog to take care of. I've worked in a vet office, an animal rescue, and have helped take care of dogs for friends and family when they go out of town. I currently work part-time so I have the flexibility to provide your furbaby with the best care. Daily walks and play time are already built into our daily routine and your pup can join in on the fun! I have a very large fenced in yard and live on a dead end road so traffic is minimal around our home. Our two dogs are very friendly and love to have visits from other dog friends. Our home is large enough that a separate space can be created for your pup if they feel overwhelmed or just need some quiet time. A crate can also be utilized if needed.
About: I have had experience with doggos ever since I was a little kiddo. We had a Japanese Kai doggo up until recently and I have also had some part time jobs taking care of dogs for my friends and family. I will love your furry friend as my own! I am currently a full time college student in the school year and a part time college student in the summer. I work online and will have all the time in the world to play with your pets and take care of them! I live at a house with friendly neighbors but not a fenced in yard. We have trees on our property that shield the road from our house.
“I was so happy with the services Krystina provided! She gave so many details every visit and photos and went the extra mile to help with trash and watering flowers. I would use her again with ZERO hesitation!! A+++”
About: I’ve grown up having 3 dogs my entire life, as well as cats. Since I was 16, I’ve been housesitting for my aunt for at least a week out of every year. Which requires taking care of 5 dogs, 3 cats, chickens, mice, sugar gliders, a parakeet, fish, and turtles. 2 of the dogs required medication multiple times a day so I have experience with that as well. I currently work every 3rd day, which leaves 5 days out of the week completely available to come by and walk your dog or stop in and feed animals. I have experience walking dogs on leashes as well as if I stop by and let them go potty I have no issue picking up after dogs as well. I will make sure they’re fed and safely put up if need be before leaving. I will also be sure to send plenty of pictures and updates!
“Courtney was lovely and took wonderful care of our cat and two guinea pigs. She sent us pictures everyday and came to meet us before we left for vacation. 10/10 would recommend.”
“I’m not sure who is more excited when Mackenzie comes over, me or the pups. She gives amazing care and loves my kids so much. And yes, she is bonding with my new rescue and building the trust he needs. I’m so grateful for Mackenzie!!”
About: My years of experience is for professional experience. Years personal experience is well over 20. I’ve had pets all my life growing up from exotics to cats and dogs. Professionally I’ve been a pet groomer (can do small animals, dogs and cats) and a shift manager at a pet store where I was a pet specialist, dog groomer, and pet nutritionalist. I have experience with fish, dogs, cats, pocket pets (hamsters, rats, mice, Guinea pigs, rabbits ect.), reptiles, amphibians, invertebrates, arachnids. I have certifications in pet grooming, animal body language, and pet care. Formerly a fear certified pet groomer (not activity grooming anymore but I plan to get that back). Feel free to message me with any questions or concerns you may have. I’m going to school full time all online so when pet sitting I am able to take my course work with me while I take care of your pets. I will follow all instructions, I have slip leads that I will use over the collars so that way if anything happens during walks outside there’ll be extra protection. I will pick up after your dog. Make sure water is available 24/7 and make sure feeding schedules are on time. I can also take care of exotic pets, fish, and I have an amazing green thumb! So even your plants will get the best care.

Frequently asked questions about Rover
As of July 2026, there are 223 sitters on Rover offering Cat Sitting across Van Buren. 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 Van Buren. On Rover:
- 96% of sitters can help with special care needs

- 96% 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 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.
