About: Dogs have always held a special place in my heart, and caring for them is something I genuinely love! 🐶❤️ In addition to having a dog of my own, I worked at a veterinary clinic where I gained hands-on experience with all kinds of dog care. I helped with daily tasks, took dogs for walks and bathroom breaks, assisted with post-surgery care, and handled the many responsibilities involved in keeping dogs happy, healthy, and comfortable. This experience taught me how important it is to be patient, attentive, and gentle with every dog, especially when they need a little extra care. I love getting to know each dog's unique personality, whether they're energetic and always ready to play, adventurous and love going on walks, or total cuddle bugs who just want extra affection. I want every dog in my care to feel safe, loved, and right at home! I know how much your pup means to you because I know how special that bond is myself. I would treat your dog like part of my own family and make sure they get plenty of love, attention, playtime, and cuddles while you're away. You can feel confident knowing your fur baby is in caring hands with someone who has real experience working with dogs. I can't wait to meet your pup and become their new best friend! 🐾💕 I have a very flexible schedule and am happy to work with you to find times that fit your pup’s needs! 🐶💕 I’m available throughout the week, including weekdays and weekends, and am happy to help with dog walking, drop-in visits, feeding, playtime, and daytime pet sitting. Whether your pup needs a midday potty break, some extra attention while you’re at work, or someone to keep them company during the day, I’m happy to help! I know life gets busy, and I want you to have peace of mind knowing your fur baby is getting plenty of love, care, and attention while you’re away. 🐾❤️ Safety and trust are always my top priorities when caring for someone’s pet. Having worked at a veterinary clinic, I understand the importance of being attentive, following care instructions, and making sure animals feel safe, comfortable, and loved. I take the time to learn each pet’s personality, routine, and specific needs so I can provide care that works best for them. When caring for pets in their own home, I make sure to respect the space, follow the owner’s instructions closely, keep food and water bowls filled as directed, and ensure pets are safe and comfortable at all times. I’m happy to provide updates and photos so you can feel at ease knowing your fur baby is doing well while you’re away! I believe every pet deserves patience, affection, and individualized attention, and I will always treat your pets and your home with the same care and respect I would want for my own. 🐾❤️

About: I grew up taking care of and loving dogs and cats alike. I have always been passionate about my love for furry friends. I’ve spent time in the past volunteering at an animal shelter as well as cat/dog sitting for family members for extended periods of time. I adopted my very own beloved cat in 2020. I have experience with kittens, puppies, and caring for senior dogs. I would love to expand my love for animals to helping others with care for their precious furry family members. I am currently doing some independent contractor work and have a very flexible and open schedule. I am available for care most hours of weekdays and most weekends as well. I am very patient and understanding of each pet’s individual needs and personality and am more than willing to accommodate any needs. I understand firsthand just how important our pets are to us and will go out of my way to give my clients peace of mind and trust in my ability to care for their beloved pets. I am careful to read body language of each individual animal to gain their trust over time - once I do it’s such a rewarding feeling.

About: I have taken care of dogs since I was about 10 years old, my family used to rescue strays and my grandmother used to breed Pomeranians. I myself have shown dogs in 4-H as well, in both showmanship and obedience classes! I also have special need doggo right now and understand how to distribute oral medications correctly. I understand how hard it is to trust your furry loved ones to someone who you don’t know, and I promise to always provide a gentle and loving environment for them no matter the case! I am a college student at the moment so I will not be able to be with your furry loved one full time! However my class schedule is flexible enough that I will be sure that your pet is well taken care of! I have most evenings absolutely free as well as weekends meaning I can be with your pet full time during that time! My own dog gets about two walks a day! He receives medication as well as special stimulation treats during the day, along with a weekly spa day, he is one pampered pooch!! My cat gets wet food every morning and dry food every evening, he is long haired so this furry kitty also gets groomed very regularly. Both of my pets also get night time treats just for being adorable.

About: I’ve taken care of 4 dogs at one time while babysitting 2 twins, I’ve catsit for 4 cats as well. I grew up with dogs and own 3 cats now that I live on my own! Pet care fits in my daily routine because I own 3 cats. Growing up, I had a dog and my family still has a dog that I watch when they go on vacations. I have professionally dogs at for 4 dogs that needed daily attention/food/bathroom breaks. In the clients home, I will care for the animals the same way that they do. As long as there is a routine, it will not get switched. I understand the psychological needs of a dog and when owners leave, new people are in the home, it can cause stress to the animal. Having the same routine can eliminate stress.

“We had the absolute pleasure of having Alex care for our senior cat, Daisy, while we were away for 10 days on our first real vacation since she began having health issues. To say we were nervous to leave her is an understatement — but Alex gave us peace of mind from the moment he stepped in. He was incredibly communicative and responsive throughout, always keeping us updated and never making us feel like a burden for checking in. What truly stood out was how deeply he cared about Daisy’s wellbeing. When she had a bit of a health hiccup during our trip, Alex went above and beyond — handling the situation calmly, thoughtfully, and with genuine compassion. Knowing he was there when we couldn’t be meant the world to us. We came home to a content and well-cared-for cat, and we know that’s because of the love and attention Alex gave her. I wholeheartedly recommend Alex — I would trust him with Daisy or any future pet without hesitation. He’s truly a gem!”

About: I am a caring and patient individual who loves taking care of pets as if they were my own. Life gets busy and owners need help, I believe all pets deserve to be taken care of by people who will love them like their owners do. My Pets: Two Cats (Feeding, Grooming, Handling, Litterbox, Medication) My family were the proud owners of two amazing sister cats for 16 years. My girls have since passed away in 2022 and 2025. I was fortunate enough to help take care of them from infancy, and then taking on a lot of responsibilities in their old age as I got older. Accumulating skills to take care of cats at any age. Being present while my cats aged and experienced various health issues, I learned many skills that I can apply in this new venture of becoming an animal sitter. I able to give medicine in pill or shot form. I am able to prepare speciality meals for an animals specific needs. I am also capable of performing basic cat chores. My Family's Pets: Black Lab Mix and Cat (Feeding, Grooming, Handling) I am an individual who likes to spend time with animals whenever I can. My grandmother lives very close to me, so I often go over to help her with her animals. She has a black lab mix and an energy filled boy cat. I frequently take her dog for walks and bathroom breaks, as well as feeding them both when needed. When my grandmother first got her lab, I was the main person training her and teaching her commands at a basic level. Being a patient individual, I am able to spend time with animals teaching them the basic behavioral traits. My Neighbor's Pets: Long Haired Labrador (Feeding, Handling) For the past few months, I have been taking care of my neighbor's 85 pound long-haired Labrador. This requires me to go over and take him out, feed him, and play with him. I also spend my time teaching him various commands he needs help with. This experience has technically been my first hired sitter job and I am looking for more as I love spending time with animals and giving them the love their owners do. I am currently in a Master's Program in the city. I have classes Mon-Wed. The rest of the week I am available at all hours. I love all pets like they are my own. Providing animals with a safe space to be themselves in their home and helping them in any way that I can.

About: I’ve taken care of dogs of all breeds and size's. Friends, neighbors, and family often rely on me to walk, feed, and bathe their pets while they’re away. I’m comfortable with senior dogs, energetic puppies, and pets with special routines. Whether it’s daily walks, playtime, or overnight care, I always treat every pet like my own. I currently have a flexible schedule that allows me to provide morning, midday, and evening visits during the week. Weekends are open for walks, drop-ins, or overnight stays. I’m responsible, communicative, and happy to provide updates and photos so you can relax knowing your pet is in great hands. I live in a pet-friendly apartment that’s clean, safe, and comfortable for your furry friend. I take frequent walks and make sure pets get plenty of exercise and attention throughout the day. I’m very mindful of leash safety, secure entrances, and keeping pets calm in new environments. Whether your dog loves outdoor strolls or prefers cozy naps, I make sure they feel happy, safe, and cared for.

About: Hello! I’m a recent college graduate and a devoted pet lover working from a home office. I offer reliable, flexible, and high-quality care for your furry family members, ensuring they feel loved, safe, and entertained while you are away. My Pet Care Experience My passion for animal care is rooted in a lifetime of experience with both dogs and cats. I am currently the proud owner of three cats with unique needs: Stomy (my rescued Orange Tabby) taught me patience, Sheba (my Highlander Lynx) keeps me active with high-energy play, and Atticus (my Siamese) taught me the importance of constant social engagement. In addition to my cats, I have extensive experience with dogs. Until recently, I was a dedicated owner to three rescued dogs who passed away peacefully last year. Caring for them, especially in their golden years, gave me deep experience with senior pet care, administering medication, and providing the gentle, compassionate support that older or shy animals need. Whether you have an energetic puppy or a slow-moving senior, I have the hands-on experience to make them feel safe and comfortable. Services & Activities I Provide When I visit your home, my goal is to keep your pet's routine consistent and stress-free. My drop-in visits and house-sitting services include: * Feeding & Hygiene: Adhering strictly to feeding schedules, refreshing water bowls, cleaning litter boxes, and picking up waste. * Enrichment & Exercise: For cats, this means interactive play to burn off energy. For dogs, this includes stimulating walks, fetch, or backyard playtime. * Safety & Home Care: As a pet owner, I am hyper-aware of "door dashers." I practice strict safety protocols when entering and exiting to prevent escapes. I also bring in mail, water plants, and ensure your home is left tidy and secure. * Updates: You will receive detailed updates and high-quality photos after every visit, so you never have to wonder how your pet is doing. My Schedule & Availability Because I work remotely from my home office, my schedule is my biggest asset for your peace of mind. Unlike sitters with rigid 9-to-5 commutes, I have open flexibility throughout the day. * I can easily accommodate mid-day drop-ins, early mornings, or evening visits. * I am available for last-minute requests if your plans change. * I have the time to stay a little longer if your pet seems lonely or needs extra cuddles. I understand that inviting a sitter into your home requires a great deal of trust. I treat every pet I meet with the same affection I give my own crew, and I treat your home with the utmost respect. My schedule: FLEXIBLE I currently work remotely from my home office, providing me with open availability throughout the week. Because I am home-based, I am highly reliable and able to commit to specific time slots that suit your pet's feeding and medication schedule. I have the freedom to step away from my desk to ensure your pets get the quality time and attention they deserve, exactly when they need it. Safety begins the moment I unlock your door. As a cat dad to three active felines, I am hyper-aware of "door darters" and curious paws. I practice a strict "look down before you step" policy and always double-check that doors and windows are securely latched before leaving. inside the home, I keep a close eye on your cat’s health and mood, ensuring they are eating, using the litter box normally, and engaging comfortably. I also make sure to leave your home exactly as I found it—tidy, secure, and peaceful.

She has vet tech experience and was very knowledgeable about our breed and how to keep her engaged and happy. We have already booked another drop in and an overnight weekend!”

FAQs for Cat Sitting - Windenoak

Frequently asked questions about Rover

The average cost of Cat Sitting in Windenoak is $28 per visit as of November 2026. Most bookings cost between $17 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 594 sitters on Rover offering Cat Sitting across Windenoak. 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 Windenoak. On Rover:

  • 88% of sitters can help with special care needs
  • 91% 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.
