About: I've been caring for animals for over 10 years and have always had a passion for pets. I have experience house-sitting, feeding, walking, cleaning up after, and caring for dogs and cats for neighbors, family, and friends. Growing up with pets has taught me that every animal is unique, and I treat each one with the same love, patience, and attention I'd give my own. My goal is to make sure your pet feels safe, happy, and well cared for while you're away. I'm a graduate student completing my degree online while working about 30 hours a week in my internship. Outside of work and school, I spend most of my time with my family, my boyfriend, and at church on Wednesdays and Sundays. My schedule is generally flexible, and I do my best to accommodate pet owners' needs whenever possible. I often spend time accompanying the dogs with snuggles and a couple of hours of playtime a day. I provide food and water for the animals as instructed by the owner as each owner has a different approach. I often take dogs on one or two walks a day because exercise is extremely beneficial for pets.
“Amanda is terrific! We had car trouble on our trip and needed to add an extra day of fur baby care at the last minute. Easy peasy, it's nice to know we can count on her even when our plans go off the rails.”
About: I’ve taken care of dogs and cats for at least 10 years for friends and family. I also have three family dogs, Ribs, Biscuit, and Pete! I recently graduated from college, so my schedule is very flexible and allows me plenty of time to care for pets throughout the day and week. I have experience both walking dogs and letting them play in a fenced in yard. My family dogs are create trained so I am also comfortable with that.
“Audrey took great care of our cat and sent daily updates! She did a wonderful job with our little guy and communicated really well about all things related to him. Will use again in the future! Thanks so much!”
“Katy was amazing requested here kinda last minute and she was able to make it within 24hrs. She was super helpful and able to change my litter robot and fill up there fountains. Truly appreciate your time thank you so much again Katy”
“Emory was so great with our dogs while we went on vacation! She sent pictures and updates with every visit! She even cleaned up an accident that happened in the house. She was very detailed in her visits and reports. She made my first experience with using Rover a great one! We hope to book her again in the future!”
“Heather is a great sitter that cares about every detail! We had no concerns or worries leaving our Oakley (cat) in Heather’s care! She kept us informed on every visit, including pictures! She also has a great personality and loves what she does! Highly recommend!!”
About: I have grown up with all kinds of animals from house pets to farm animals. I currently do Rover full-time, but have worked at a dog boarding/training facility and have worked with/handled dogs of all sizes and breeds. Although I have more experience around dogs I love cats just as much! I have no issues with certain breeds, ages, sizes, or handling medicine (so long as it is nothing a professional vet should handle). I can’t wait to watch and care for your fur babies! I pet-sit full time, giving me plenty of free time to walk, watch, and love your pets! My schedule is also very flexible making it easier to schedule based off your needs! I do have my own dog but unfortunately she is not friendly with other animals. Because of this I can only do daycare/overnight at clients own homes and walks/check-ins. I have plenty of personal and professional experience with aggressive animals and have no issues watching/walking aggressive dogs so long as both me and you are comfortable with it. With that being said it is important to me that any aggressive behavior whether with animals and/or people is told upfront and honestly as well meeting the dog ahead of time.
About: I have experience working as a kennel technician at a local animal hospital and have been caring for my pets for several years. I have also taken classes on pet care and how to work with different types of animals. I am currently working a part-time job, but i am able to accommodate what is best for you. Since I have a very flexible schedule I am open for just about everything! I have experience with kenneling dogs while also being on a timely feeding time and hourly walks, and play times. I care for my pets by crating and having scheduled feeding times along with plenty of fenced-in outdoor time!
About: I have owned dogs and cats my whole life as well as multiple types of reptiles, fish, chickens and rabbits. I graduated with an associates degree in Aquarium Science Technology where I took operant conditioning classes (animal training) as well as completed multiple internships working with animals of all kinds. My passion is taking care of animals of all kinds and I love to fufill the needs of any furry friend that needs me. As an owner of both dogs and cats, I never get tired of giving them the care they need and learning about their individual personalities. Respect is key. That means for the animal as well as the people trusting me with their fur babies. Pets will always get my full attention while with them whether its play time or bed time, fresh food and water as well as plenty of outside time is my top priority.
“Lexie was great! She was really accommodating for a late-night potty break and followed all the directions perfectly. I appreciated her reliability and care with my two fur babies. Communication was above & beyond. I would definitely book again!”
About: I've had pets of all types all my life and couldn't be happier about it! I live right near a park for walking near me, work my own hours at home so am flexible anytime, and can even bring my own Siberian Husky if requested for puppy playdates etc.. I work my own schedule and at my own volition from home (part contract work, part commission) so im incredibly open as to days, hours, or times. Again, ive had a Siberian Husky since he was about 3 months old in 2017 and have raised him to be well-behaved since then. Anyone who has met a husky knows theyre some of the most hyper-active and high maintenance dogs so I'm condient in my skills. Have also raised cats, snakes, bunnies, and even chickens before so I have a wide range of pet care skills.
“Summer is great! She was so flexible with me when booking and was great with Lilo. She even brought in a few packages that came. I will be using her in the future!”
“Abigail was phenomenal. Will definitely be recommending her to everyone and booking her again when needed. She treated my babies like they were her own. I can not say enough good things about her just know that she is the best and very professional.”
“I’m so happy to have met Kat! She came to meet Remmi, our 125lb English/Italian mastiff before watching her for the first time. I feel it is important for everyone to feel comfortable in a house and dog sitting situation-not only Remmi and I, but Kat as well! I immediately felt comfortable and confident with Kat taking care of our sweet pup and home while out of town. We used Kat again soon after the first time..a VERY last minute trip. Kat responded right away and agreed to help us out-she’s wonderful! I could go on and on-she is a perfect fit for our mastiff and mainecoon kitty!”

Cat parents share their Rover experiences - Volunteer
Heather and Andrew did an excellent job caring for our three rambunctious rescue kittens. They showed up twice a day to feed, water and play with the cats—then did a great job cleaning the food dishes, water bowls, and the three litter boxes. They loved on our kitties and respected our property. Great sitters!

Frequently asked questions about Rover
As of August 2026, there are 374 sitters on Rover offering Cat Sitting across Volunteer. 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 Volunteer. On Rover:
- 88% of sitters can help with special care needs
- 98% can help with giving oral medications or injections
- 95% 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.
