About: Although I am only 19, I have had pets for as long as I can remember. My family and I have a total of 6 pets- 3 dogs and 3 cats! We have fostered and adopted our fair share of animals, all with different stories! One of our dogs is an amish labor rescue, one of my cats is blind, and another only has 3 legs!! While all of our pets now come from a different and difficult situation, it has been a reward and privilege to love and take care of them. I am familiar with hyper and untrained dogs as we have had 2 since they were puppies and they still are a bit crazy to this day! I am currently job searching so I can’t say what my availability will be like for the future but as for now I have no other commitments and am available whenever!! I am a very detail oriented person and realize that each animal has their own unique personality and routines. I am always open to learning about your fur babies and what they like or dislike. I love that each pet has their own quirks and I love being able to form relationships built on trust and respect!!

Liz took the best care of our two dogs. One of our dogs is a bit nervous and she was great about the needs of each dog with different personalities. It was our first time to be away during the night without the dogs and they were perfectly fine with Liz making several stops throughout the day. We will definitely ask for Liz to care for our dogs in the future. She’s very good about communicating and prompt with all the requested visits. I highly recommend Liz. She is so nice and professional.

We had a really great experience with our Rover sitter! They took great care of our dog Opal and our cat Azula while we were away. Communication was easy, we appreciated the updates, and it was nice knowing both pets were in good hands. Opal and Azula seemed happy and well cared for when we got back. We’d definitely book with them again!

I have a very high maintenance cat (17, blind, won't eat, etc) and Mackenzie took such good care of her! She checked in twice a day and sent very detailed updates to let me know how Gracie was doing. I was able to enjoy my vacation knowing the Gracie was safe and being well cared for by someone that really truly cared about Gracie's wellbeing. I'll definitely be rebooking with Mackenzie!!

Extremely happy with Christine. This is the first time I've had a drop in visit for my pets in 10 years. Christine reassured me and even came to visit my fur babies before. She brought an ease and I felt complete trust that they were in good hands. I was given many updates every visit and pictures. She was thoughtful and always on time. My pets were very comfortable with her. Which made my trip less stressful. I would definitely recommend Christine and I will happily recommend her and have her back again in the future.

Nancy was a purrfect caretaker for our two cats! Her communication was great and took wonderful care, especially for one of our cat's "issues". We were gone for 5 days and felt completely comfortable having her in our home to visit and care for our animals. We will be calling on her again if we need pet sitting services.

aww! Thank you for stopping by at the last minute. It was a huge relief to know my babies were all taken care of! Austin is the cat’s name. He’s a goof ball and loves it while we get him a Lion Hair cut ? Hope we can have you by another time.

We’ve been having Lindsey check in our dog, Lucy, pretty regularly for almost a year. We recently used her everyday for two weeks. As always, she was reliable and also communicated regularly with us! Lucy enjoys her visits and we will continue to trust Lindsey with her care.

About: I have had Guinea pigs, cats, dogs, and fish for pets over the years. I currently have two small dogs of my own! I have experience with dog walking, overnights for dogs and cats, and am comfortable administering most medications. I love animals of all sizes and have no problem going for long walks, playing, and giving lots of pets. I am reliable and will always keep you up to date on how your pet is doing. I will always do my best to allow for schedule changes and would like to tailor things around your needs. I have a car and also have no problem taking public transportation. Please reach out if you are looking for an animal lover who will treat your animal with care, fun, and lots of love! I currently work full time from 7am-5pm M-F and am available anytime outside of those hours. I will do my best to be flexible around you! I have my own dogs, who are friendly to other animals. We don't have any restrictions, but this is pending the dog's behavior and comfort.

About: I’ve worked hands-on with animals for over 12 years through shelters, rescue organizations, fostering, and TNR work. I’ve cared for everything from neonatal kittens to senior and special-needs animals, including medication administration and post-op recovery care. I’m calm, reliable, and experienced with animals that may be nervous, shy, energetic, or need extra patience. My goal is always to make pets feel safe, comfortable, and cared for while their owners are away. With my current work schedule, I’m available early mornings (5–6 AM) before work, again around noon, and throughout the evening. I make pets a top priority and can also provide late-evening check-ins to help pets settle in comfortably for the night. Based on your pet’s normal routine and comfort level, I can accommodate leash walks, supervised backyard time, or longer walks and exercise as needed.

About: I specialize in puppy training, senior pet care, and administering medications—providing loving, patient, and reliable attention tailored to each pet’s unique needs. I’ve had all sizes of dogs growing up and love them all! I’m currently working part time, and I have enough flexibility to fit your pets need in my schedule! Your pet means a lot to me even if it’s just a walk a day. I take my dogs out at least eight times a day on a leash. I take them for a walk twice a day. My cats are fed once a day and their litter is changed every other day.

About: I grew up with dogs in my house all the time. Whether they were my family's or we were petsitting for friends, I have taken care of my fair share of dogs of all different breeds and sizes. I am a college student, so my weekends are totally free as well as my afternoons on weekdays. A walk with your dog would be a great way for me to take a break from my busy school schedule. I have lots of dog walking experience with all kinds of dogs. I am a dog lover but do not currently have on of my own. I would love to be able to take your dog out for some exercise!!

FAQs for Drop-In Visits - Wadsworth

Frequently asked questions about Rover

The average cost for Cat Sitting in Wadsworth on Rover is $20.54 per visit (as of July 2026). However, all sitters set their own rates based on experience, location, and availability.

Rover makes budgeting the cost of Cat Sitting easy. As long as your dates and pet profiles are correct, the price you see before you book is the same price you pay for Cat Sitting. For more information on service fees, click here .

As of July 2026, there are 1,768 sitters on Rover offering Cat Sitting across Wadsworth. 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 Wadsworth. On Rover:

  • 92% of sitters can help with special care needs
  • 96% 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.
