Everything looked good when I got back from my trip! Surprised my cat even popped out but was glad to have gotten to see her at least. Will look to hire Georgia again!

About: I’ve been a pet owner since I was 19. I have experience giving medication with my own dogs and worked at a dog boarding place in the past. I promise to love on your dog like they are my own. I work full time Monday through Friday 8:30 am to 5 pm. I’m free most weekends. I’m able to come check on a dog before work and after work. I could possibly go on my lunch break around 1 pm if not too far from my house. Right now I’m not offering services in my house because I have an older dog with vision and health issues. She is more of a people loving dog! At the clients house I will make sure your dog gets plenty of affection and play time. I will try my best to keep them on their normal schedule with potty breaks and meal times. Please make sure to tell me all your dogs favorite things!

Rachel was fantastic, and our Penny loved her! Rachel was very prompt with all of her communications, and she offered to come by and do a meet and greet before our appointment with her. We also appreciated her willingness to stop by for a second puppy visit after we found out we would be delayed getting home. Great young lady and a great puppy sitter!

Madie is the best! She’s taken care of our cats for over a year now. She’s excellent with the cats, gives us lots of updates, and leaves the house looking clean and well-kept. We’re very glad to have someone we can trust with our cats!

About: Hello! I have been pet sitting for friends and family for the past 3 years now and have finally decided to meet more animals! I am so excited to meet your fluffy (or non-fluffy) friends! I start school August 15, so until then I am free to take care of your pet at anytime of the day! I will typically try to DoorDash to make some extra cash, but will stop every couple of hours to check on your friend! I treat every home and pet like my own — that means following your routines closely and communicating with you along the way so you're never left wondering how things are going. For drop-in visits, I stick to the schedule you set for feeding, medication, and fresh water, and I always do a walk-through to make sure everything's secure before I leave. I'll bring in mail/packages and rotate lights if that's part of the ask. For dog walks, I keep to your dog's normal route and pace unless you tell me otherwise, always leash up before opening any doors, and clean up after them every time. I pay close attention to their body language, especially around other dogs or people, and I'll never push a walk if it's too hot, too cold, or your dog seems off that day. For overnight house sitting, I keep your pet's routine as close to normal as possible — same feeding times, same bedtime habits, same amount of attention and play. I treat your home with respect (locking up, keeping things tidy, not having guests over) and I check in with updates so you can relax while you're away. Across all of it: I send photo/video updates, I'm comfortable with basic medication administration (pills, drops, insulin if trained), and if anything seems off with your pet's health or behavior, I contact you and the vet right away rather than guessing.

About: I have been around animals my whole life, and I have done dog and cat sitting a few times over the years for neighbors or friends. I’ve had cats and dogs in my home since 2014, and I am very comfortable around both. I currently have a full time job; I work primarily in the mornings with evening shifts thrown in here and there. I don’t do much outside of that, so I am pretty available otherwise. I want to keep all pets feeling comfortable, following their routines/schedule, and keeping them company (within their boundaries). I no longer live with my cats and miss them greatly, so I will make sure they receive extra attention, pets, and playtime (within their boundaries).

About: Animals have been a huge part of my life since I was young — I grew up in a family full of dogs and developed a love for caring for animals early on. Over the past four years, I’ve gained hands-on experience dog sitting pets of all sizes and personalities, from energetic puppies to senior dogs, as well as cats and even chickens! For the past year, I’ve also worked at a dog boarding and daycare facility, where I’ve learned how to safely handle dogs with a wide range of temperaments, energy levels, and needs. This experience has made me confident in reading animal behavior, creating a calm environment, and making sure every pet feels safe, loved, and comfortable while in my care. I treat every pet like family and understand how important it is to know your furry friend is in caring, reliable hands. Whether your pet loves playtime, cuddles, walks, or just a calm companion, I’m happy to provide personalized care that fits their needs! Pet care fits naturally into my weekly routine. I currently work part-time in the evenings, which gives me daytime availability to care for pets, provide walks, drop-in visits, and spend quality time with them throughout the week. I’m hoping to dedicate most weekdays to pet care and make sure each pet gets plenty of attention, patience, and reliable care while their owners are away. At this time, I’m generally unavailable on weekends due to family obligations, but during the week I’m flexible and committed to providing dependable, loving care for your pets. When caring for pets in a client’s home, I always make it my priority to keep their routine as comfortable and stress-free as possible. During drop-in visits, I can provide feeding, fresh water, potty breaks, litter box cleaning, playtime, attention, and plenty of love and companionship. For dog walks, I make sure each dog gets safe, attentive exercise based on their energy level and needs. I understand how important pets are to their families, so I treat every animal with patience, kindness, and the same level of care I would want for my own pets. I also believe communication is important, so I’m happy to provide updates and photos while you’re away so you can feel confident your pet is safe, happy, and well cared for.

About: As a foster parent for a local animal shelter, I love giving our four legged friends a safe and welcoming place to call their own. I have fostered over 2 dozen animals in my home and have experience with crate training, potty training, basic needs and socialization as well. I’m currently working as a full time teacher, but have a lunch break daily in which I can come home and give the furry friends a potty break and some play time. I do not have a fenced in yard, so I take the animals in my home on multiple daily walks using a leash and harness.

About: I grew up with two big Akita/husky’s that were always full of energy but very entertaining! I now have a Pitbul mix that loves to cuddles. People have relied on me to walk, bathe, and watch their pets. I have a steady schedule as a Dental Assistant through out the week. I am available for morning walks with a lot of free afternoons and evenings. I would love to help you out and make sure your fur baby is taken care of while you’re away. As a pet sitter, my main responsibility is to provide quality care for pets in their own homes while their owners are away. Discussing with the owner about their pets needs, habits, and specific requirements.

Heather was great! I had a sitter have to cancel two drop in visits last minute and I found Heather and reached out to her for the first time and she gladly stepped in to check on my two labs while I was at work which gave me so much relief! She also messaged me when she got there and sent me many pictures and updates on my pups. I will definitely be adding Heather to my list of dog sitters from now on!

Frequently asked questions about Rover

As of August 2026, there are 132 sitters on Rover offering Cat Sitting across Waynesville. 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 Waynesville. On Rover:

  • 100% of sitters can help with special care needs
  • 100% can help with giving oral medications or injections
  • 92% 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.
