Heather is very sweet and trustworthy and I felt very comfortable with her in my home and with Cali. I would recommend her to anyone! Thank you so much Heather.”

About: I gained valuable experience working with sled dogs in Alaska, building patience, discipline, and confidence in handling high-energy dogs and maintaining consistent care routines. As a full-time student with a flexible schedule, I have consistent daily availability for drop-ins and walks, allowing me to provide reliable, attentive care throughout the week.

About: I’ve grown up around animals my entire life, and caring for them has always been a huge part of who I am. I currently have one cat with me at college and three more waiting for me at home, so I understand how important it is to find someone you can trust with your pets. I volunteer with the Humane Society and a local cat rescue, Comfort Cats, where I help care for cats in need. I am also Fear Free Certified, which means I prioritize reducing stress and creating a safe, positive experience for every pet. I’m currently on the pre-veterinary track in college, and my passion for animal health and welfare continues to grow every day. Whether your pet needs playtime, walks, feeding, medication, or simply lots of love and attention, I’ll treat them as if they were my own. I also work at a animal rescue by the name of Final Victory in Columbia! I am currently a full-time college student, but I make it a priority to provide dependable care for every pet I work with. My class schedule allows me to be flexible throughout the week, and I have even more availability on weekends. I plan my schedule carefully so your pets receive the attention, exercise, and companionship they deserve while you’re away. Your pet’s safety, comfort, and routine are my top priorities. I understand that every pet is unique, so I take the time to follow your instructions and maintain their normal schedule as closely as possible. As a Fear Free Certified caregiver and pre-veterinary student, I’m trained to recognize signs of stress and provide calm, compassionate care. I will treat both your pets and your home with the same respect and care that I would my own, and I’ll always keep you updated with photos and messages so you can have peace of mind while you’re away.

About: Hi! My name is Lyndsey, and I’ve been working professionally with dogs since 2017 as a full-time dog groomer. Caring for animals is something I do every day, and I have experience handling pets of all ages, sizes, breeds, and personalities. From energetic puppies to senior pets who need a little extra patience, I understand that every animal has unique needs. I currently share my home with both dogs and cats, so caring for pets is a big part of my daily life. My professional grooming experience has taught me how to safely handle nervous, shy, excited, and high-energy pets while helping them feel comfortable and secure. For drop-in visits and house sitting, I can provide feeding, fresh water, potty breaks, walks, playtime, medication administration (if needed), litter box cleaning, and plenty of attention and affection. I understand how important routines are to pets, and I do my best to keep them comfortable while their owners are away. I work full-time as a dog groomer Monday through Friday during daytime hours. Because of my schedule, I am best suited for morning visits, evening visits, overnight stays, weekend care, and holiday care. I always communicate clearly with pet parents and provide updates so you can feel confident your pets are receiving excellent care. My goal is to treat every pet like one of my own and provide dependable, loving care while you’re away I’m a full time dog groomer, currently working 9-5 Monday-Friday. I am still able to drop morning or afternoon drop ins also overnights as needed I care for 4 dogs and 2 cats who have their own schedules. I also bring one of my dogs to work with me everyday

Pets are my passion, and I’m happy to give our furry friends the love and attention they need. I am happy to take care of your fur family on the weekends. I can also be available during the early hours or nights during the week. I understand the importance of safety for your pet. I can crate your pet if preferred, take them on a safe walk, and leave them safely in your home after checking on them. I will always pay attention to your specific requests and what is best for your pet.

Kelli was great with our three cats! One of our girls is very shy and doesn’t always like to meet new people, but she really liked Kelli and that made me feel so much better! I asked her if she would be able to do a few extra things around the house (set the trash on the curb, sweep up litter, etc) and she did so with no complaints! I will definitely be booking her again

This was the first time I have ever left my two cats while on vacation and was nervous about not being with them but Abigail truly went above and beyond and took such amazing care of them. She is the sweetest and I was able to be more relaxed while out of town knowing they were safe and being taken care of! Will definitely be using her again for any future trips!!

Sara was absolutely amazing. Caring, attentive, and wonderful with my cats. She even brought her own toys, which they loved! One of my cats usually takes time to warm up to new people, but Sara managed to get him comfortable on day one. She went above and beyond, without being asked she took the litter with her instead of leaving it in the trash, washing the cat bowls, and following all of my instructions perfectly. Overall, it was a fantastic experience. I highly recommend Sara and will definitely be booking her again. Thanks again Sara!

FAQs for Cat Sitting - Walden

Frequently asked questions about Rover

The average cost of Cat Sitting in Walden is $16 per visit as of October 2026. Most bookings cost between $11 and $21 per visit. On Rover, sitters set their own rates based on factors such as their experience, the length of care, the number of pets, and your pet’s specific needs. As long as your booking dates and pet profiles are accurate, the price shown before you confirm is the total, including any booking fee.

As of October 2026, there are 499 sitters on Rover offering Cat Sitting across Walden. 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 .

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 , 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 .

Yes, you can find sitters who have experience with handling special pet needs in Walden. On Rover:

  • 94% of sitters can help with special care needs
  • 95% can help with giving oral medications or injections
  • 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 , 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.
