“Maggie is awesome! Super friendly and sweet. I scheduled her for drop ins while I was away for the weekend. She had great communication, sent lots of pics, and my dogs loved her. I felt super comfortable having her in my home while I was gone. Definitely will be booking with her again!”
“We are so grateful to have found Jessica for our pets’ care and highly recommend her pet sitting! This is a long review for anyone like me who is on the detailed side and bit of and over-planner and worrier, lol. Jessica was very professional, easy-going and knowledgeable when reviewing all of my complicated instructions for our pets and throughout the week that she cared for our three cats and our large dog. I was especially grateful for her thoroughness and communication style while going over all the additives and preparation for the food for our dog who is older and has several health conditions. It made us feel much more relaxed going on our trip knowing she had clarified any confusion with my copious notes on everything. Her updates and photos while we were gone were also very reassuring that all was going smoothly with our pets and our house. When we met ahead of the trip, our one kitty — who is usually skittish with everyone new — was immediately friendly to her and unafraid. All the other pets were also instantly comfortable with her. She definitely has a way with animals! They were all so happy when we came back — like they never felt things were too out of the ordinary. So wonderful! Also, we paid for the 60-minute visits and it was so worth it for the extra time she was able to spend with them each day (and to allow enough time for the multi-step food prep for our dog). She was also flexible in working with us to set up the schedule for the week and then timely and dependable for all the visits. Once again, she was just so professional and we highly recommend hiring Jessica for any pet sitting you need!”
“Emma is a great sitter for my very energetic dogs and also communicated wonderfully. My one dog was very stubborn about getting back into the kennel, but Emma was patient and even reached out to see if there were any tips. She did so well, I'm booking her for weekly visits.”
“Jody was awesome. She is very caring and took great care of my babies when I needed help this week. I highly recommend her. I have 3 dogs and two cats all with different personalities. Jody understood each one and took great care of them the way they needed.”
“Had Kendall watch over my cat for two weeks. Fantastic job. Always communicated and went above and beyond to make sure everything was taken care of. Make sure to hire when you need someone to look after your animal”
About: • Experience with cats, dogs, and rabbits • Service dog training background (Buckeye Service Dogs in Columbus) • Positive reinforcement training approach • Gentle, attentive senior pet care I’m a part-time college student with evening classes, so I’m available for pet care during the day, and on weekends! Your pet will get plenty of attention, playtime, and care while you’re away. I currently offer drop-ins and dog walks, so your pet stays comfortable in their own familiar environment. I always follow your instructions closely, keep safety a top priority, and treat your home with respect.
About: Experience with dogs of different sizes as well as with cats. I used to have 5 dogs at once. All with different needs. Very flexible and will acclimate to whatever your pet needs! Very flexible with whatever you and your pet need. I WFH throughout the week and can work from wherever. Or I can just go check on your pet after work or for a walk. On a recent health journey and would love extra motivation to be more active outdoors! I’m very conscious about ensuring pets are well leashed and not left alone (especially outside). Will make sure they get their food (and treats, if allowed) as well as all the necessary pets!
“Shelbi does a great job! I don't have the easiest cats but she did everything that I needed and there were no issues and I came back to a clean and peaceful house. I would definitely have her watch my cats again.”

I’m very reliable, detail-oriented, and used to caring for others—so you can trust that your pet will be safe and well taken care of.

I stick closely to each pet’s routine and make sure they’re safe, comfortable, and well cared for, with regular updates and photos.
“Karen is absolutely amazing! She is dependable, reliable, and went above and beyond what was expected of her! She took care of my babies for 10 days, sent tons of pictures to me and gave personalized feedback after each visit!”
“Taylor was so great! She came right at the times requested which I really appreciated as he is a puppy and I don’t like to leave him crated for long. I loved the picture updates and knew he was in great hands! I love that she played with him too. 🙂 That was a long day for Ruger but was calm and happy when everyone got home. We will definitely have Taylor back again!”
“Mary has taken care of our Golden Retriever, Judy several times and each time she exceeds expectations! Judy is a jump-y and hyper dog but is full of love and she gets so excited to see Mary come through the door. She is a great communicator, super responsive, makes sure Judy has everything she needs including extra love. I will always reach out to Mary when I need some extra help with Judy!”
About: I am currently working as a dog bather and graduated from MVCTC Animal Care and Management. I have experience in small animals and basic training. I am currently working part time so I have lots of availability. I am available anytime on Mondays and Sundays and after 5 Tuesday- Saturday. Times and dates are flexible. I love to cuddle up with any pets if you or your pet would like. I can also easily crate pets and feed them on specific schedules as well as providing fresh water.
“Artur is great. He loves cats as much as dogs. He is very conscientious. My cat loves to play with him. Artur sweeps up the litter up and recycles my cans. He saw my desk that I bought still in the box and he put it together for me. He is a Ukrainian immigrant but his English is good. I highly recommend him.”
About: I have always grown up with pets and enjoy all our furry friends. I am passionate about making their short time in our lives the best it can be. I am happy to find a time that works for both of us to care for your pet. I am willing to work around my schedule to accommodate their needs. I have a dog at home that my roommate rescued. She is such a loving puppy who needs lots of attention. On the days my roommate is at work I take her on walks and make sure she's fed and gets lots of playing time.
“Sara has been great with my corgi, Cersei! She is always on time and has been incredibly flexible with my schedule. She is also very considerate with Cersei and accommodating to her needs for the past few months and Cersei loves her. She will continue to be my go-to whenever I need someone to help with Cersei.”
“Tatum was wonderful! This was the first time using her services and I will definitely reach out to her next time we need to travel. We have 2 kitties, Priscila and Pepper and Tatum took great care of them and played a lot with Pepper who is extra needy. I highly recommend Tatum, she is amazing and we couldn’t be happier with her services.”
About: Hi there! I’m a lifelong animal lover with hands-on experience caring for over 30 animals at a local humane society while I was studying at BGSU. Now I live with my husband and our two cats, Alani and Vito, who keep our home full of love and purrs! During my time volunteering, I made sure every animal felt safe, well-fed, and cared for—and I bring that same dedication to every pet I look after. I’d love to be a trusted companion for your furry family member! I currently work as a Mental Health Technician. My schedule is part-time at two days a week, though the days differ each week! Additionally I work one weekend a month! While volunteering at the humane society I have learned about animal behavior and have stuck to a schedule that is both healthy for you and your pet. Personally I will treat your pets like they are my own <3
“Taylor is absolutely amazing and we will be using her again!! We couldn’t have asked for a better first Rover experience! She took excellent care of Luna and Red while we were away. She made sure they were fed, had fresh water, got plenty of potty breaks outside, and most importantly, gave them lots of love and snuggles. She sent us photos and updates, which really helped us relax knowing our dogs were happy and well cared for. She exceeded every expectation. I accidentally mixed up and changed the schedule several times, and she was incredibly patient, flexible, and understanding throughout the entire process. Luna and Red were clearly comfortable with her, and it was obvious she genuinely cared about them. We will absolutely book with her again and highly recommend her to anyone looking for a reliable, caring, and trustworthy sitter! Highly recommend!”

Cat parents share their Rover experiences - West Charleston
I'd never used a pet sitter before, and after having no luck finding one for a previous trip out of town, I decided to give Rover another try. I'm so glad I did! Jessica's excellent ratings and reviews are well deserved, and I'm glad it worked out for her to support our family. From our first meeting, she was professional and friendly, and she immediately connected with our indoor cat. Jessica visited our home twice a day, followed the instructions on the FAQ sheet I left for her, and was always easy to communicate with. She took the time to meet our cat and us before the trip, which gave us great peace of mind. Throughout our time away, she provided updates, thoughtful reports, and fun pictures of playtime visits. Knowing that our furry family member was in such caring hands made our trip much more enjoyable. I would not hesitate to book her again or recommend her to anyone looking for a reliable and compassionate cat sitter.
Shaelyn is awesome! So thankful for how she cared for my kitties while I was away- I was slow to message and she read my mind with some of the things I forgot to mention ahead of time (e.g. adding extra litter to the litter box). Reliable and 100% will book again!!

Frequently asked questions about Rover
As of July 2026, there are 444 sitters on Rover offering Cat Sitting across West Charleston. 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 West Charleston. On Rover:
- 92% of sitters can help with special care needs
- 97% can help with giving oral medications or injections
- 97% 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.
