About: I’m a reliable and caring college student who genuinely enjoys being around animals. I’ve had my two cats for the past two years, so I’m used to feeding them, cleaning litter boxes, playing with them, and making sure they’re happy and comfortable every day. I’ve also helped friends care for their dogs by feeding them, taking them on walks, playing with them, and keeping them company while they were away. Outside of pet care, I’ve worked as a private caregiver and in customer service, which has taught me how to be responsible, patient, and dependable. I know how important it is to trust someone with a loved one, whether it’s a person or a pet, and I’ll always treat your pets with the same care and attention I’d want for my own. I’m currently a college student and work part time so I make sure to plan my schedule around the pets I’m caring for. I’m available on many weekdays and weekends and will always make time to give your pet the attention, exercise and care they deserve. I’ll keep you updated while you’re away so you know your pet is in good hands. I know every pet has their own routine, and I always do my best to stick to it. Whether I’m caring for your pet in your home or stopping by for visits, I’ll follow your instructions carefully and make sure they feel safe, comfortable, and loved. I’ve cared for my own two cats for the past two years and have also helped friends care for their dogs through feeding, walks, playtime, and companionship. My experience as a private caregiver has taught me to be patient, dependable, respectful of other people’s homes, and attentive to small details, so you can feel confident that your pet will be treated like one of my own.

About: Hi! I’m a lifelong animal lover with a genuine passion for caring for furry family members. Having grown up surrounded by dogs my entire life. I’ve experienced every stage of puppyhood and understand their unique needs, energy levels and personalities that each dog brings. I have 9 months of experience actually working with dogs and cats, at a dog boarding facility called Barks Bed & Biscuit in denville NJ. I provided excellent care for the animals, cleaning, feeding, medicating and occasionally giving insulin. Currently I work a part time job at a dog boarding/ daycare during the midday- night but I can always work around my schedule and work! I have a fenced yard to protect my dogs and cats! We have cat crates and pouches to make sure they get some outdoor time.

“I couldn’t have asked for a better cat sitter! She was incredibly reliable, always on time, and kept me updated with lots of messages and wonderful pictures throughout the week, which gave me so much peace of mind. One of my cats is diabetic and requires insulin injections twice a day, while my other needs heart medication applied to the inside of her ear. She handled both with confidence and care and treated my cats like they were her own. I came home to two happy, healthy cats and would absolutely book her again. Highly recommend!”

About: I’ve been caring for pets for many years and have always considered them part of the family. While I’m new to professional pet sitting, I understand the love, patience, attention, and responsibility that comes with caring for someone’s beloved pet. What sets me apart is the personal attention I give to every pet. I take the time to learn their personality, routine, and individual needs so they feel comfortable, safe, and loved while you’re away. I’m dependable, caring, and treat every pet the way I would want someone to treat mine—with patience, kindness, and plenty of affection. My goal is simple: for you to feel completely comfortable knowing your pet is in good hands. 🐾❤️ I currently work full time so I am available after 6pm weekdays, and most of the day on weekends to play and care for you fur babies. When caring for pets in their home, I follow their normal routines and the instructions provided by their owners. I make sure pets are safe, comfortable, and supervised, while giving them plenty of love and attention. I’m respectful of every home and treat it with the same care I would want for my own. I also keep owners updated with messages and photos so they can feel confident knowing their pets are happy and well cared for.

About: Hi! I bring genuine warmth and dependable care to every dog I watch. Whether going on energizing walks, maintaining routine feeding schedules, or providing calm, attentive companionship, I treat every dog like family. Responsible and attentive, I keep pets safe, happy, and well-loved whenever their owners are away. I am currently working as a Physical and Health Education Teacher and when I am done teaching for the day I like to spend my extra time walking our furry friends to help me save money to buy my first home. I am free weekends as well so afternoons and weekends and even holidays work for me! For me, it's all about safety and fun! I care for your pets as if they were my own, showering them with love and affection.

About: Most of my experience comes from house/pet sitting in the past in addition to caring for my own pets over the years. My personal experience is with my cats at home and the family dog. In addition to pet sitting, in the past, I have provided daily walks as well as daily visits. I briefly worked at an animal shelter where I administered medication to the cats. I have worked with senior dogs and puppies as well as cats. Now that my children are older I would like to take my skills and use them by providing daily visits and/or walks during the week to generate a side income. Pet care is already a natural part of my day. My own dog keeps me on a regular schedule of walks, feeding, and playtime, so caring for animals is something I do every day rather than something I fit in. I keep my schedule flexible so I can give each pet I watch the time and attention they need, whether that’s a midday walk, a regular feeding routine, or extra time for play and company When I care for pets in a client’s home, I follow the specific guidelines their owner has given me, and I treat them the way I’d want someone to treat my own pets or children. It’s important to me that my work is more than a transaction and that everyone feels comfortable and safe.

About: What sets me apart is my patience, compassion, and ability to make every pet feel safe, loved, and comfortable. I have experience caring for dogs of all sizes, from tiny puppies to large breeds and senior dogs. I’m comfortable administering medication, following specific care routines, and helping puppies learn basic skills through simple training and positive reinforcement. I understand that every dog has a unique personality and different needs, so I take the time to get to know each pet and make sure they receive personalized care and attention. Your pet’s safety, happiness, and well-being are always my top priorities. I want every pet parent to feel confident knowing their furry family member is in caring, responsible, and loving hands! ❤️🐶 As a college student with a genuine love for animals, I’m working toward making pet care my full-time career. I have a flexible schedule and am currently available on Mondays from 8:00 AM–12:00 PM and 2:00–5:00 PM, Wednesdays 11:00AM-12:00PM and 2:00PM-5:00PM, and Fridays until 5:00PM. I’m also available on Saturdays and Sundays, with Tuesdays and Thursdays opening up for services soon! 🐾 I can accommodate morning, afternoon, and evening visits depending on the day. My goal is to provide reliable, attentive, and loving care while making sure every pet feels safe, happy, and comfortable. I look forward to building lasting relationships with pets and their families and giving every furry friend the care and attention they deserve! ❤️🐶🐱 Your pet’s safety, comfort, and happiness are always my top priorities! 🐾❤️ For my 20-, 30-, and 40-minute dog walks, I make sure pets are securely leashed, closely supervised, and walked at a pace that suits their age, size, and energy level. I pay attention to their surroundings and always prioritize their safety while giving them time to exercise, explore, and enjoy themselves. For my 30-minute drop-in visits, I provide attentive, loving care based on your pet’s individual needs. This can include feeding, refreshing their water, bathroom breaks, playtime, companionship, and following any special instructions you provide. I’m also comfortable administering medication when needed. I respect your home, follow your instructions carefully, and understand how important it is to trust someone with your furry family member. I’m happy to provide updates and photos during visits so you can have peace of mind while you’re away. My goal is to make every visit a positive experience and treat your pet with the same love, patience, and care I would give my own! 🐶🐱💕

“Ethan was fantastic watching my two cats while my family was on vacation. He fed them, cleaned out the litter box, and cleaned up the messes that one cat left on the floor in protest of us being away. Ethan was responsible, communicative, and trustworthy. I would use him again and would highly recommend him to others.”

Jennifer was amazing! She watched our cat, Shrimp Toast, over the Thanksgiving holiday while we were out of town visiting family, and we felt SO at ease. She communicated great with us, provided us the cutest pictures of Shrimp Toast, was considerate, and most of all, our cat loved her! I look forward to having the peace of mind I did on this trip as I do my next :)

FAQs for Cat Sitting - Wharton

Frequently asked questions about Rover

The average cost of Cat Sitting in Wharton is $24 per visit as of November 2026. Most bookings cost between $14 and $28 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 1,807 sitters on Rover offering Cat Sitting across Wharton. 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 Wharton. On Rover:

  • 82% of sitters can help with special care needs
  • 86% can help with giving oral medications or injections
  • 89% 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.
