“Genesis took great care of my two cats. She’s sweet and caring and always made sure my cats were happy and healthy. She did a great job communicating with me while I was away and also sent me multiple photos of the cats each day. If anybody is looking for a trustworthy sitter, genesis is the one to go with!!”

About: I’ve been an animal lover my entire life and have always grown up with at least one dog in my home. Over the past four years, I’ve fostered five cats and two dogs, giving me experience caring for animals with different personalities and needs. I’ve also owned a cat with diabetes, so I understand the importance of being attentive and patient with pets who require extra care and a consistent routine. I grew up riding and being around horses, and throughout college I volunteered at a local animal shelter. I truly love animals of all kinds and will treat every pet with the same love, attention, and care that I give my own. I’m currently post-grad and have a very flexible schedule while I figure out my next career steps. I’m looking to spend some of my extra time doing something I genuinely love, which is being around animals! I’m very available throughout the week and am happy to accommodate different schedules and your pet’s specific routine. I understand how important it is to trust the person caring for your pet, and I will always treat your home and your animals with respect and care. I’m happy to follow any routines, feeding schedules, walking instructions, or special care needs you provide. My goal is to make sure your pet feels safe, comfortable, loved, and gets plenty of attention while you’re away.

About: Animals are my favorite thing in the world! Growing up we always had pets and I currently have 5 of my own. Professionally I have worked with a range of breeds from Rottweilers to chihuahuas. I understand the worries of most pet parents when choosing a sitter or walker. Safety and comfort are my top priority and I promise to take care of your pups as if they're my own. Look forward to meeting your pet soon! I currently work a job with flexible hours and am often left with free time. The only set schedule I have is for my online classes at Tuesdays and Thursdays from 9:30 am to 12 pm. But I can attend from anywhere as long as I have WiFi. I’ll keep your pup company in your home and provide play and potty breaks regularly. If you have a preference for anything just let me know and I’ll follow your instructions to make it as comfortable for you and your pet. I also promise to update you regularly with pictures and videos if you’d like! For boarding I have a fenced in yard and backyard cameras so I’m always able to monitor your fur baby. But I promise never to leave your pup unattended as they do their business. I also have 2 fur babies of my own so they’ll never be lonely. My pup Maisie just turned a year old and loves having furry friends to play with! While my Tilly is older and tends to keep to herself to snooze all day.

About: I’ve had pets of my own for more than 10 years and have also spent time fostering both dogs and cats, including animals with special needs. That experience has taught me that every pet needs something a little different, whether that means extra patience, a specific routine, a slower introduction, or just plenty of attention and reassurance. I’m comfortable caring for dogs and cats of all sizes, ages, and personalities. I have experience with everything from newborn kittens to extra-large dogs, and I’m very comfortable around big breeds since we have large dogs of our own at home. Fostering has also given me experience working with animals who may be nervous, shy, adjusting to a new environment, or in need of a little extra care. I’m patient and attentive, and I always try to meet animals where they are rather than expecting them to immediately warm up to me. Most importantly, I genuinely enjoy getting to know each animal’s personality. Whether your pet is energetic and playful, cautious and reserved, or convinced they should be the center of attention at all times, I’ll make sure they feel safe, comfortable, and cared for. My schedule is very flexible, which allows me to accommodate a wide range of pet care needs. I’m available for weekday and weekend walks, drop-ins, and varying times throughout the day, including early mornings, late evenings, and everything in between. I know pet routines don’t always fit into a 9-to-5 schedule, so I’m happy to work around your pet’s normal routine whenever possible. Whether you need regular care, occasional help, or a little extra flexibility, I’ll do my best to make scheduling easy and reliable. Safety, trust, and communication are always my top priorities. I follow each pet’s normal routine as closely as possible, including feeding schedules, walks, medications, house rules, and any special instructions you provide. I also know firsthand how stressful it can be to leave your pets in someone else’s care, so I make a point to keep owners in the loop. I’m happy to send regular updates, photos, and little check-ins so you can relax knowing your pet is safe, comfortable, and getting plenty of attention. In your home, I’m careful with doors, gates, leashes, and harnesses, and I always respect both your space and your pet’s boundaries. I pay close attention to changes in behavior, appetite, energy, or anything else that seems unusual, and I’ll communicate right away if I notice something. My goal is for both you and your pet to feel completely comfortable while you’re apart.

About: I grew up on a farm and have a lifetime of experience caring for animals of all kinds. Cats, dogs, horses, goats, chickens, pigs, you name it! I like taking a long walk in the morning, followed by playtime and sometimes a run or visit to the lake in the afternoon. I don't mind getting dirty with the dogs, and will play in the rain! A walk after dinner is also part of the typical routine. In North Fort Lauderdale, we have an open, airy, loft style townhouse. The backyard is fenced in, and we are only a short walk away from the dog park. Our neighborhood has several shaded, tree lined streets, and is a nice, quiet, safe place to take a walk. I have a plethora of patience as well as experience with puppies, seniors, and special needs pets. I also am available to care for your pets in your own home. My husband and I spend the summer in Saratoga Springs, NY, and the winter in sunny Fort Lauderdale, FL. The schedule created through Rover opportunities will be my primary work committment. My schedule is flexible so I am able to meet your pets needs and fit into your routine. I prefer to book one client at a time in order to give your pets the care and attention they deserve while you are away. I have had many animals my entire life, so I know how important it is to stay aware of your surroundings at all times. When walking your dog, they will always be on leash and securely held. I love taking photos, and will provide several from our time together, but I do not use my phone for fun when with your pet. Please be patient if awaiting a response, as I focus 100% on the pet I am currently with, and do not have my phone glued to my hand all day. Animals are aware when you're not paying attention and they will take advantage of you! I pride myself on providing the level of care and attention I expect when leaving my own animals in someone else's care. Attention to detail and listening to what the animal is telling you is key to keeping everyone safe and happy.

About: What sets me apart is the genuine care and attention I give to every pet I watch. I will take the time to learn each pet’s personality, routine, and favorite activities so they feel comfortable and loved while their family is away. I’m dependable, patient, communicative, and I will keep pet parents updated with photos and messages. My goal is for every pet to feel safe, happy, and right at home. Pet care fits naturally into my daily routine because I genuinely enjoy spending time with animals. I’m able to provide consistent care throughout the day, including feeding, fresh water, litter box cleaning, playtime, walks when needed, and plenty of attention and affection. In my home I am the camp counselor and treat dealer. Making sure everyone gets their tummy’s fed, enough playtime and fresh air , all while keeping a tidy home.

About: Hi, I’m Alexandra! I’ve been taking care of animals since I was about 12, started with a neighbor’s dog and just never stopped. Since then I’ve looked after dogs, cats, and even guinea pigs, so I’m used to all kinds of personalities, from the clingy ones to the ones who pretend they don’t like you (they always do eventually). I have two cats of my own, Papaya and Mango, who are pretty much my entire life. So if you’re trusting me with your pet, know that I already treat animals like family, not “clients.” I’ll stick to their normal routine, feeding times, walks, whatever they’re used to, and I’m always up for extra cuddles or playtime if they want it. I work a regular 9-5, but honestly my time outside of that is pretty much all yours. I’m up early, so morning walks or check-ins are no problem, and I’m around for evening walks too, even late ones if that’s what your pet needs. Weekends I’m way more flexible, especially Saturdays where I can basically hold the whole day open for boarding or extended visits. If you’ve got a weird schedule or something specific you need, just tell me and I’ll figure out a way to make it work. Your pet’s safety is honestly my top priority, whether we’re at your place or mine. I keep a close eye on them the whole time, no zoning out on my phone while they’re outside or anything like that. I’ll stick to whatever routine they’re used to so they don’t feel thrown off, and I always keep you in the loop with updates, photos, or a quick video so you know they’re doing great. If anything feels off, you’ll hear from me immediately, not after the fact.

About: Hey! Consider trusting me with your fur family and their needs. I pay very close attention to detail, have all the patience in the world, and absolutely love animals. I have been taking care of animals my entire life! I’ve had the privilege of loving over 10 animals in my personal home over the years and worked on a farm for most of my life. My mom worked at a humane society for a long time so I’ve been exposed to many situations and exceptionalities in pets. Willing to wash, walk, and play if you provide the means to do so. No breed restrictions I love all animals. I would love to take on any task at hand! Message me and we can work out the details. I am super flexible with payment! I have zero scheduling restrictions on my available days! I would be more than happy to accept flexible arrangements. I also don’t mind out-of-the-box requests!! I am not able to accept pets into my personal apartment home at this time as I have an elderly kitty who is the absolute queen of the castle, but I know so many pet-friendly options in South Florida where your fur baby and I can have fun safely.

Sandra is committed and keeps an amazingly good schedule considering her full time obligations - I really respect her work ethic, reliability and follow-through. Though the thing I most appreciate personally is just how caring and attentive she always is to my precious elder cat Molly. Thank you Sandra for letting me vacation with peace of mind knowing you’ve got Molly’s back and she’s going to get her medication. ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️

FAQs for Cat Sitting - Washington Park

Frequently asked questions about Rover

The average cost of Cat Sitting in Washington Park is $18 per visit as of October 2026. Most bookings cost between $10 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 3,329 sitters on Rover offering Cat Sitting across Washington Park. 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 Washington Park. On Rover:

  • 90% of sitters can help with special care needs
  • 92% can help with giving oral medications or injections

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.
