“I knew Gwynne was a good fit by the way Bandit took to her right away at the meet & greet - dogs know! She was very responsive to my texts and sent me pictures of my happy dog. This was the first time we had ever left Bandit with anyone in the two years we've had him (except for one disastrous experience at a kennel) due to his severe separation anxiety. Bandit is OK being left in his own house, so we thought we'd give Rover a try. So glad we did!”
“Anna was great! I was scared to leave my little boy but Anna made everything so much easier. She worked with me with what was best for my puppy. Arlo was very happy and well taken-care of. 100% recommend Anna😊”
“Ashley was so great with our cat, Dizzy. Dizzy was clearly well taken care of, and was excited when Ashley came to visit her. I really appreciated all of the pictures she sent, showing us what Dizzy was up to. I felt at ease in our travels knowing that Dizzy had such good company. We will definitely be booking Ashley again!”
“I give Jared a 5-Star ***** rating for today’s visit . Hershey bonded with Jared way beyond my expectations. As the saying goes: “A picture tells a thousand words.” And Hershey looked happy. My dog was safe and loved. I will be booking Jared again through Rover! I highly recommend Jared as well. 🐾💕🐾”
“Robyn was great! Spent time with my 2 cats and sent at least 5 pictures on each visit for me. When I returned home, they were both looking healthy and happy. Also still having plenty of food in their bowls.”
“Adam watched my cats this weekend (two drop-in visits) for the first time; he was fantastic and exceeded all my expectations! He showed up exactly at the arranged times and texted me 11 pictures each visit which not only showed me my beloved cats, but also showed me that all of the necessary tasks we had discussed previously had been completed (ie a picture of a cleaned litter pan, a picture of a food plate arranged with medication, etc). And bullet items for each cat such as if poop and or pee was found in the litterpan. I highly recommend Adam and will definitely be using his services in the future! Thank you Adam!”
“Jessica was delightful. She sent pictures and videos as well as notes on the visits. I knew my pets were well taken care of. Infact they were fine when I came home. They weren't acting like a had been away. Maybe they miss Jessica. 🤷♀️”
About: I’ve loved and owned cats and dogs through every phase of my life, making animal care second nature to me. As an extremely empathetic and caring person, I treat every pet like family. I absolutely love snuggling kitties and promise to give your fur baby all the patience, warmth, and attention they deserve! I work from Monday to Thursday each week, so I'm available after 5pm on those days. On Fridays, Saturdays, and Sundays, I am always free to spend time with your furry friend. As a pregnant mom living in an apartment, I'm currently only available for walks and drop-in visits with cats and dogs (up to medium size). I'm also open to caring for small animals and exotic pets - feel free to message me and ask!
“Andrew was incredible!! He watched our 2 cats while we were out of town for about a week and was very quick to respond and sent us lots of pictures. He was very accommodating to some last minute changes and was so good with our little kitties!! Will definitely be using his services again. Highly recommend!”
“May did a fantastic job with my pets while I was gone. I have two large dogs and four cats. She eased all my anxiety while I was away. Would definitely recommend her and use her services again”
About: I’ve taken care of and loved dogs for as long as I can remember! My favorite part of the day is seeing their tail wag! I am currently working part time with a very flexible schedule! Pet care is a natural part of my daily routine. I start and end my days by making sure pets are fed, exercised, and given plenty of attention. When at a clients home, I treat the space with respect and make sure to stick to the pets routine. I am willing to provide regular updates and pictures to make the owners feel as comfortable as possible!
About: Hi, I'm Missy! I've been caring for animals my entire life and owned my own pet-sitting business, Pet Sitting by Missy, since 2014. I have experience caring for dogs, cats, and other pets of all ages, from energetic puppies to senior pets who need extra patience and attention. I understand that every pet is unique, and I take the time to learn their routines, personalities, and special needs. I have experience administering medications, caring for senior pets, and providing comfort to anxious animals. My goal is to make pets feel safe, loved, and comfortable while their owners are away. What sets me apart is my genuine love for animals, reliability, and dedication to treating every pet as if they were my own. I know how important trust is when leaving your pets in someone else's care, and I pride myself on being dependable, attentive, and compassionate. Pet care is a natural part of my daily routine. I have a flexible schedule that allows me to provide dependable care, attention, exercise, feeding, and companionship throughout the day. I understand the importance of consistency for pets and strive to maintain their normal routines as closely as possible. Whether it's morning walks, midday check-ins, evening visits, or overnight care, I make sure each pet receives the time, attention, and care they deserve. When caring for pets in a client's home, I focus on keeping them comfortable by maintaining their normal routine as closely as possible. I follow all instructions regarding feeding, exercise, medications, and any special needs. I provide plenty of attention, playtime, companionship, and updates so owners can feel confident their pets are safe and well cared for while they are away. Safety is always my top priority. I pay close attention to pets' behavior, ensure doors and gates are secure, and make sure they are supervised appropriately. I treat every pet and home with the same care and respect I would expect for my own.
“Thank you so much Jen! Our cats were so well cared for as always- we love the photos and the updates. They love their hot wheels so much!!! We so appreciate your flexibility when we had an issue with our smart lock. Thank you for being a wonderful cat sitter!”
“This is the second time I’ve booked Kimberly. We were able to work out a flexible schedule for her drop-in visits. Kimberly took good care of my cat! I came home to my happy Pudding! I’ll definitely ask Kimberly again.”
About: I’ve lived with animals of all sizes since before I could walk. I love meeting new anims everywhere I go and do my best to understand and respect them. I see pets as family members, and believe they should be treated as such. My schedule is currently very flexible, and I have plenty of availability throughout the week. I will keep my calendar updated and communicate promptly about any scheduling changes. I believe pets are happiest when their routines stay consistent. I’ll follow your instructions carefully, respect your home, and make sure your pet feels safe, comfortable, and cared for. Pets are family, too. I’m happy to provide updates and photos during visits so you know how they’re doing. I’m very comfortable with both cats and dogs and have experience with pets of all sizes.
About: I’ve had pets of all species, shapes, and sizes. I love taking care of pets, hanging out with them, and ensuring they’re safe and comfortable. I have a dog of my own and have done well training him. I’ve had dogs since I was five and deeply enjoyed taking care of them. I have cared for family member’s cats and dogs and I also have experience with some reptiles and rodents. I’ve even helped stray dogs throughout my life, managing to make them feel safe with me until an owner was found. I’m good at gaging an animal’s individual personality and acting accordingly. Shy? I am patient and gentle. Outgoing? I am ready to play. Your pet mainly likes privacy and naps? I’ll respect their space. I love animals and would love to care for yours when you need it! I’m working part time, which allows me plenty of time in the morning and afternoon to help care for your pet! I’m available from about 8 a.m. to 3 p.m. Tuesday-Saturday and after 8 p.m. I am free all day on Sundays and Mondays. I will notify if there are any days/times that I become unavailable. I have a friendly dog of my own who would love to play and keep your dog company, if needed. I have also cared for dogs, cats, and even reptiles and rodents, since I was a kid. I am gentle, patient, and fearless when it comes to animals. I will give the utmost love and care to your pet!

Thank you so much Jessica for taking such amazing care of my babies. Your messages were so funny and well written. My trip was very peaceful and relaxing and all the more so because I had someone so caring it made me feel such peace of mind knowing someone like you was looking after my fur babies! I looked forward everyday to reading your daily updates in the notes on rover. I'm glad my cat Gizmo got the chance to boss somebody else around for a change lol.

Chrissy is absolutely amazing! She took such wonderful care of my two babies while I was away, and I couldn’t be happier with her service. She treated my cats like they were her own—giving them love, attention, and making sure they felt comfortable and safe. It gave me so much peace of mind knowing they were in such caring hands. I loved the updates and photos she shared, and it was clear my cats adored her. If you’re looking for someone trustworthy, dependable, and genuinely loving with animals, Chrissy is the perfect cat sitter. I highly recommend her and will definitely be booking her again! 🐾💖

Frequently asked questions about Rover
The average cost for Cat Sitting in Wilkes-Barre on Rover is $13.32 per visit (as of July 2026). However, all sitters set their own rates based on experience, location, and availability.
Rover makes budgeting the cost of Cat Sitting easy. As long as your dates and pet profiles are correct, the price you see before you book is the same price you pay for Cat Sitting. For more information on service fees, click here .
As of July 2026, there are 183 sitters on Rover offering Cat Sitting across Wilkes-Barre. 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 Wilkes-Barre. On Rover:

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.
