About: Hi! I’m Jill and I have been a pet owner my entire life! I have had many puppies, dogs, cats and kittens myself so I definitely have a soft spot for our furry friends! Finding good pet care is just like finding a good babysitter you need someone you can trust and rely on! I hope to be that person for you! No matter if it’s a quick check-in or a walk, my total focus is making sure your pets are living their best life! I have been doing check-in and walks for over 10 years helping out coworkers, friends, family, and neighbors. Just because you might be busy or have a lot on your plate does not mean you should feel guilty for spending a little extra time away from your furry friends. I will use every minute with them to make sure they are comfortable, loved, healthy, safe and well-fed! When it comes to any special instructions, those are always a top priority, your wishes are my command! I run my own buisness and work only 5 minutes from my home! I am very flexible being on my own schedule! I don’t have children yet so my out of work schedule is very loose during the week days! When coming to your home to care for your pets all I ask is that some basic instructions of what you would like done is all that is required! I am well versed in pet care so most requests will not phase me! Dogs: I would love to take your pup for a walk or throw around their favorite toy in your yard if you have a fence or secured yard leash! Let me know how you would like their #2 disposed of for when they use the restroom! And of course, a treat or two for the big brave baby for being so good while their parents are away! Cats: feeding time/treat time is every kitties favorite! Whatever is needed will be executed with the addition of some pets and love! I am no stranger to a litter box so if we need a refresh, don’t hesitate to ask! All I ask, is that if your cat has a favorite toy to let me know what it is so we can have a little bit of playtime before our check-in time is over to keep them happy and enriched!

“Jessica has been fantastic during drop-in visits for our dog Buddy! It was clear the second she walked in our home that she knows and loves dogs. Buddy was instantly comfortable with her thanks to her warm and welcoming demeanor. Knowing Buddy has someone that we can trust to drop-in while we are at work is very comforting. Highly recommend Jessica!!”

About: What sets me apart is my hands-on experience and genuine care for animals. I had my own pets until I was 17, and I’ve also cared for my family’s pets during week-long trips, which gave me experience with daily routines like feeding, walks, playtime, and making sure they stayed comfortable and happy. I’m currently home from college and working remotely with a flexible schedule, so I’m available at any time during the day as long as I’m given advance notice. For dog walks and drop-ins, I make sure each pet is safe, comfortable, and getting the attention they need. During walks, I focus on keeping dogs active, following any routines the owner prefers, and making sure they stay hydrated and safe. For drop-ins, I can feed pets, refill water, give them playtime, let dogs out for bathroom breaks, clean up after them if needed.

About: Hi my name is Yocheved, but a lot of people call me Yo, or Ava. I am an only parent to a wonderful, active middle schooler. We have a happy home full of love and laughter, and 2 kitties. After 14 magical years together, we lost our dog to old age, a couple years back. I miss the feel of having a dog around, but I know in my heart of hearts we are all a little older, and a little busier, and our home cannot house a new permanent four-legged resident. But I do not accept the lack of dogs in our lives! I said yes to dog sitting lately, and I have made so many new friends since. Hanging out with your dogs or cats when you're unable to be there- it's become a thing I look forward to in my home. I love walking the neighborhood or doing drop-ins to feed cats. Let me help you! I'm currently WFH part time, and tend to end my days on the early side, for parenting purposes. Because of this I'm pretty flexible and available throughout the week. I tend to all pets, like I would for my own. I cared for my dog through cancer, twice- so I'm pretty familiar with medicine, senior care, and all the extra effort needed for older or sick animlas. I love to walk, burn off energy, and snuggle. Happy to do light grooming (brushing), and send photos and videos throughout our time together!

About: I grew up in a house with dogs, and have been caring for them my entire life! I’ve had dogs as large as Great Danes or as small as chihuahuas. I’m comfortable caring for all sizes and ages of dogs, and can assist with supplemental training with simple commands such as learning to sit. I’m also happy to assist with any additional care needs such as light grooming, outdoor playtime, or administering oral medication. Monday-Friday I am available until noon for any morning pet care needs. I can assist on weekends or evenings after 9pm as needed- just ask and I am sure we can work something out! Since I am experienced with caring for pets of all shapes and sizes, I am always able to take a calm and unique approach to make sure your pets are comfortable and safe. I pay close attention to body language, and integrate your pet’s personality into my care to make sure they feel respected and stay safe. I love animals, so I always care for them with enthusiasm and make sure they know how much they are loved!

About: I have been taking care of dogs for a little over a decade for my friends and family. I also worked at a dog daycare while in college, where I played, fed cuddled, loved, did house visits and overall cared for about any dog breed you can think of! On a regular day at the daycare, we would have around 25 different dogs at a time to care for. I also have have my own dog named Harley and he’s the best boy! I currently work full time but will be slowly transitioning into a new phase of life within the next month so I will have a lot of free time. I plan to focus on pet care fully! I will always treat your fur baby like one of my own. They will have my full attention when I am with them and I will make sure their needs are met. I will follow all instructions you have and give them all of the love to make sure they are happy!

About: I have watched my cousin's shi tzu many times for extended periods of time. It has went well every time. Also I have over 15 years of having a pet in my home. Walking dogs and taking care of them is something that I have a lot of experience in. I have a very flexible schedule as an independent contractor so i can be available at any time. Whenever I watch my cousin's dog, it becomes a full time endeavor. I take pride in taking care of the things in my environment whether it is lawn care, businesses, car, or my hobbies. I walk them regularly. I make sure the pets are fed on schedule. I pay attention to the pet's communication signals, and I am a caring person towards them.

About: With over two decades of hands-on animal experience, I bring a deep understanding of pet behavior, health needs, and the importance of maintaining their routine while you're away. My experience includes: Behavioral observation: Skilled at reading animal body language and recognizing signs of stress, illness, or discomfort Medication administration: Comfortable giving pills, liquid medications, and following specific health protocols Routine maintenance: Experienced in maintaining feeding schedules, exercise routines, and providing the consistency pets need Emergency awareness: Trained to recognize when situations require immediate veterinary attention Gentle handling: Patient approach with anxious, elderly, or special-needs pets What sets me apart is my genuine passion for animal welfare combined with practical experience in rehabilitation and long-term care. I understand that every pet is an individual with unique needs, and I'm committed to providing the same level of attention and care I'd want for my own pets. I work from home and welcome the chance to get out of my home office and play with your adorable floofballs. Weekdays during work hours make up the bulk of my availability, but I can be flexible with evenings and weekends. I prioritize creating a safe, low-stress environment, whether caring for pets in my home or others. In client homes: I maintain pets' established routines to minimize anxiety and provide consistency Secure all doors, windows, and gates to prevent escapes Follow all specific instructions regarding food, medications, and behavioral needs Provide regular updates with photos and messages to keep owners informed Respect the home environment and leave it exactly as I found it Safety protocols: Always have emergency veterinary contact information readily available Monitor pets closely for any changes in behavior, appetite, or health Ensure all pets are properly secured during transitions (leashes, carriers, etc.) My 23 years of experience have taught me that prevention is key. I'm constantly aware of potential risks and take proactive steps to ensure every pet feels safe and comfortable. Trust is earned through consistent, reliable care and clear communication with pet parents.

My cat is my baby and my best friend and I have never felt more secure with her in someone’s care!! He took care of absolutely everything and ensured he knew all about her quirks and personality and play habits and veterinary information just in case. She seems so happy and well taken care of! I assure you, your cat will love Bryan.”

“We booked Aliyah short notice to housesit and cat sit during a week-long trip. She was flexible with us even when our plans changed due to a canceled flight. She took her duties seriously, sending daily updates and photos. I was shocked to learn that our standoff-ish cat was laying in her lap and sleeping in the guest bed with her by the end of the week! It was a relief to know our house was safe and our animals had a friend to spend time with. And she went above and beyond, washing bed linens and cleaning the bathroom up behind herself. I would recommend Aliyah to anyone!”

Jamie took the BEST care of our two cats while we were gone. We had just moved and needed to leave our cats for 5 days. She was able to coax our “scaredy cat” out of his hiding place, and kept us updated with lots of sweet photos. I definitely will use her again and highly recommend her services!

I can’t say enough great things about Katelyn. Not only did she accept a very last minute drop in request— but she went above and beyond every time she was at my home. My cats warmed up to her and by the appearance of all the drop in photos they really enjoyed her company. She was reliable and thorough with her check ins which I really appreciate while being away. Beyond that, she took care of my trash and my dishes as well, which was unexpected but greatly appreciated. Can’t wait to book with her again in the future!

FAQs for Cat Sitting - Willoughby

Frequently asked questions about Rover

The average cost of Cat Sitting in Willoughby is $16 per visit as of October 2026. Most bookings cost between $16 and $21 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 October 2026, there are 978 sitters on Rover offering Cat Sitting across Willoughby. 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 .

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 , 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 .

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

  • 89% of sitters can help with special care needs
  • 94% can help with giving oral medications or injections
  • 95% 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 , 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.
