About: I have experience with a wide variety of animals! I have had animals since I was very young. Willing to learn about different animals as well! I work part time time 4-5 days a week from 4pm -9:30pm ish. But I am available anytime before and after work when needed! I can’t do boarding at my home because my cats don’t care for other animals but I don’t mind coming to you to help take care of your pets!

“My senior Goldendoodle was so loved and cared for during visits by Emma. Emma was easy to work with in organizing the visits. She was on time for appointments and truly spent quality time with my pup. I trust her with being in my home and caring for my pet-family. I will call on Emma again...she's awesome!”

About: I've been taking care of animals ever since I was young. I currently am a supervisor at a vet clinic in Columbus and am looking to make some extra money on the side. I have been working in the vet field for 3+ years and currently a undergrad student with a dream to go to vet school. I am a big animal lover and have a big personality! I would love to love your babies as my own. I am currently a clinical supervisor at a vet clinic in Columbus. I handle cats and dogs from all ages all day long. I am looking for a side job to help my community as well as spread my love for animals. I work 9-5pm on the weekdays but are completely free on the weekends. I have two dogs of my own that have lots of energy. I know how to tire my babies out. Some days they decide to be couch-potatoes and I can relate! I have experience with all types of activity levels and social levels. This also related to cats as well!! Every animal is different and I believe their care is too! I'm willing to accommodate and make your babies happy anyway I can.

About: Hi there, my name is Natalie, and I’ve been an animal lover since the beginning! I currently have 3 rescues; my dog Will Sniff, and my cats Pepperoni and Pumpkin. I have 8 years of experience with dogs and 3 years with cats. I work best with medium to low energy pets of any size and shape. I work nights so I’m free during the day, and I’m almost always free on weekends too. Since I have pets of my own, I understand the importance of everyone get the love and attention they deserve. I’ve been reading up on body language of cats and dogs to make sure I can anticipate everyone’s moods and actions. I also make sure toys and treats are pet safe and supervise pets during playtime. Pet safety is of the upmost important part of owning animals.

About: I’ve always loved being around animals and have years of experience caring for dogs and cats for family and friends. I’m comfortable with feeding, walks, bathroom breaks, playtime, and following each pet’s individual routine. I know every pet has their own personality, so I take the time to learn what makes them comfortable — whether that means lots of play and attention or giving a shy pet time to warm up to me. I’m very attentive to instructions and will treat your pet and home with the same care and respect I would want someone to give my own. I’m also happy to send plenty of pictures and updates during visits so you never have to wonder how your pet is doing! I have a flexible weekly schedule that gives me plenty of time for pet care! I’m available for walks, drop-in visits, and pet sitting throughout the week, including evenings and weekends. I keep my Rover calendar updated regularly so my availability is always as accurate as possible. I’m happy to work around your pet’s normal routine whenever I can, and I’ll always communicate clearly about scheduling. Your pet’s safety and comfort will always come first. I’ll follow their normal routine and your care instructions closely, including feeding schedules, walks, medications, and any household rules. I’m careful about keeping doors, gates, and leashes secure, and I’ll always supervise your pet appropriately. I also understand how important it is to trust someone in your home. I’ll treat your space with respect, clean up after your pet, and make sure everything is left the way I found it. I’ll keep you updated with messages and photos so you can relax knowing your pet is safe, comfortable, and getting plenty of attention while you’re away.

About: I took care of my sister's dog for most of last summer and fall. I have developed strong dog-walking skills from this experience as she is quite the timid and confrontational dog. I have learned out to be extremely vigilant when walking a dog and I can read a dog's behavior as well as a human's at this point. My time management skills are par for the course and I have plenty of free time. I have plenty of free time – I have plenty of free time... there.. enough words. I have a fenced yard and beautful quiet neighborhood to walk your dog in. I can also learn the layout of any home and method for taking care of any dog by the standards of any owner within any home.

“Gwen was great taking care of our kitties! Our cat Zoya is usually very scared of meeting new people, only a few rovers have earned her trust through continuous visits and work, but with Gwen Zoya was out there to greet her from day 1, we were blown away. Peace of mind. We are very happy we chose her, she has great communication (mine was terrible I apologize!) Very helpful, kind and respectful, plus she had other cute little details that were very heart-warming and let you know what kind of person she is. 100% recommended. Will definitely book again.”

FAQs for Cat Sitting - West Jefferson

Frequently asked questions about Rover

The average cost of Cat Sitting in West Jefferson is $20 per visit as of November 2026. Most bookings cost between $18 and $20 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 November 2026, there are 429 sitters on Rover offering Cat Sitting across West Jefferson. 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 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 Meet & Greet.

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

  • 90% of sitters can help with special care needs
  • 95% can help with giving oral medications or injections
  • 90% 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 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.
