About: I am currently employed as a Hospice Admissions Coordinator and am offering pet sitting services in my free time. I have a lifelong love for animals and extensive experience caring for both dogs and cats of all breeds. Growing up, I volunteered at a local veterinary clinic, which deepened my understanding of animal care and behavior. While caring for your pets, I provide daily updates and photos so you can stay connected with your furry family members while you’re away. I am flexible with scheduling and strive to accommodate each client’s individual needs. I kindly ask that all animals be up to date on their vaccinations for the safety of everyone involved. Your pets will be treated with the same love and attention I give my own—spoiled and cared for like royalty! I also offer light household cleaning services during pet-sitting visits for an additional fee. I am currently employed with Hospice, but animals have always held a special place in my heart. I take great joy in caring for pets and understand the importance of providing them with love and attention while their owners are away. I offer flexible scheduling and am happy to make accommodations to meet the needs of each client and their pets. I ensure my pets are well cared for every day — providing fresh water each morning, daily feedings, and clean litter boxes. When I had my dog before he passed, we enjoyed daily walks (often more than one!) and followed a consistent feeding routine. I treat my fur babies as family and care for them as if they were my own children. Being told I may not be able to have children has made my pets even more precious to me — they truly are my family.

About: I've pet/house sat for multiple people in the past. Animals include dogs, cats, fish, and reptiles. I like to have a meet and greet before ever staying with your pets alone. If you have any special diets or quirks make sure we discuss them in advance! I don't mind staying for a few hours to watch your animals or just drop in, whatever is needed! I have a nighttime job so, your animals will need to be able to be alone at night a few days of the week! I will discuss meal plan, how often you walk them/let them outside, and if they have meds with you prior to caring for your animals.

About: I've had animals almost my entire life. Right now, we have a 15 year old red tabby cat and a 5 1/2 year old American Bulldog. I have experience with all sizes of dogs and am comfortable around other animals. We moved to an acreage in rural Dallas County in 2017. If interested in boarding or daycare, please message me. We have an UNFENCED yard (1.7 acres) and we are next door to a cattle ranch operation, so please take those factors into consideration. I have had a pet sitter watch our animals in the past (and I can be picky). I would love to provide your pet with the utmost care, just as I would expect to receive from anyone watching my animals. I look forward to meeting you and your fur babies!

About: I’ve been an animal lover my whole life. I got my first cat when I was 16 and now have two beautiful cats. Taking care of my cats has taught me a lot about patience, responsibility, and genuine love. I have also learned a lot about animal behavior from observing my cats and spending the past six years with them. Even though I have cats at home, I’ve also always loved dogs and enjoy spending time with them. I would love the opportunity to care for your pet and make them feel comfortable and loved. I am a nursing student at DMACC and have Friday, Saturday, and Sunday available to care for pets! I am available to work anytime between 10AM and 11PM. I make sure I always know where my pets are throughout the day. If they aren’t in their usual spots, I check on them to make sure they’re safe and comfortable. Before leaving the house, I make sure they have fresh water, a clean environment, and that their scheduled meals are served. I also pay attention to their behavior because it tells me a lot about how they are doing.

Rachael was wonderful with our dog from the moment they first met. I was having surgery out of town and any concerns faded when I saw how good Rachael was with her right off the bat! One less thing to worry about during my hospital stay. She included adorable photos and details of each visit. In our initial visit with Rachel, it was evident her knowledge, passion and caring for dogs, and I had no doubt our dog would be in great hands. Thank you, Rachael!

About: Hi! I’m a veterinary technician with 7 years of hands on experience providing compassionate, skilled care to animals of all ages and medical needs. I have a strong background in pediatric care, critical care nursing, and monitoring medically complex patients, so you can feel confident your pet is in knowledgeable, capable hands. I’m experienced in medication administration (oral, injectable, topical), post surgical care, monitoring vitals, recognizing early signs of illness or distress, and providing supportive care for senior pets and those with chronic conditions. I’m also comfortable caring for puppies, kittens, and pets that need extra patience, structure, or special routines. Your pet’s safety, comfort, and emotional well being are always my top priorities. I treat every animal as if they were my own and aim to provide a calm, stress free environment while keeping you updated with regular photos and messages. Whether your pet is young, aging, or needs a little extra medical attention, I’m here to provide reliable, loving, and professional care while you’re away. Pet care fits seamlessly into my daily and weekly routine. I intentionally schedule my availability to ensure pets receive consistent attention, proper exercise, and timely meals and medications. With my background as a veterinary technician, I’m very accustomed to structured care schedules, monitoring routines, and adapting to each pet’s specific needs. I prioritize regular check-ins, enrichment, and calm one on one time, and I plan my days so pets are never rushed or overlooked. Whether it’s daily walks, feeding schedules, medication administration, or extra monitoring for puppies, seniors, or medical cases, pet care is a planned and reliable part of my routine, not an afterthought. For drop-ins and house sitting, I care for pets in their own home to keep them comfortable and stress-free. I follow their normal routine for feeding, potty breaks, walks, playtime, and medications. I also monitor their health and behavior during each visit and make sure their space stays clean and safe. I always send updates and photos so you know your pet is happy and well cared for while you’re away.

About: My love of animals started from a young age. I grew up on a farm with a variety of pets, from dogs and cats to pigs and horses! I have fostered and boarded a variety of dog breeds and cats, and I currently have a dog and 4 kittens - so you can trust your pet will be in great hands! I am an active teacher, so I stay busy throughout the week, but I am off on holiday breaks and weekends, which is when I will be most available! I do also have afternoon and nighttime availability thought out the week on occasion. I provide personalized care for your pets by sticking to their routine, including feeding, walks, playtime, and any special needs they have. I ensure their environment stays comfortable and safe while you’re away, offering companionship and attention to keep them happy and relaxed. Regular updates and photos will keep you informed, so you can rest easy knowing your pet is in great hands!

About: I am a veterinary student at ISU with experience pet sitting, caring for shelter animals, and clinical care. I am comfortable caring for pets with special diets and administration of oral medicine. I have experience with puppies and senior dogs, and I have flexibility in caring for pets of varying activity levels. I can't wait to meet your fur baby! I have school during the days, but im available during the lunch hours from 11-1 for walks. Im free after 5pm Monday-Friday and i have full availability on the weekends. Your pets comfortable is my number 1 concern so I have no problem coming to you or taking your pet to their favorite park. I'm comfortable walking larger dogs that pull the leash and explore and older dogs with limited mobility. My dog has vestibular issue, so I'm comfortable lifting pets to help them up and down stairs or getting into cars. I'm also comfortable giving oral medication, clipping/shaving nail, and shampooing.

Sam communicated clearly and showed up (for a meet and greet) when she said she would, and best of all, my kind-of-high-strung dog was calm and happy with her here! He liked her and she liked him, and I’m excited for her to take care of him because I feel confident he’ll be in caring and competent hands!

About: I grew up surrounded by animals and spent most of high school and college as the go-to pet sitter for my friends, family, and neighbors. I’ve cared for all kinds of pets and animals so nothing phases me! Now that I have a bit more flexibility in my schedule, I’m excited to get back to it. As a dog and cat mom myself, I know how stressful it is to leave your babies behind. Whether it's a quick walk, popping in for a welfare check, or house-sitting while you're on vacation, I promise to treat your pets with the same love, patience, and attention I give my own. I’m also more than happy to accommodate quirky routines. For example, one of my own cats insists on playing a round of fetch every single night before letting us go to bed. Whatever your pets specific quirks are, I've got them covered! I'm currently working part-time so I have a lot of flexibility when it comes to pet care. I'm available most of the day and all week (including weekends) Even if your house has a fenced in yard I am always present and alert when if comes to letting pets out and playing with them.

FAQs for Drop-In Visits - Yale

Frequently asked questions about Rover

The average cost for Cat Sitting in Yale 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 164 sitters on Rover offering Cat Sitting across Yale. 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 Yale. On Rover:

  • 85% of sitters can help with special care needs
  • 100% can help with giving oral medications or injections
  • 96% 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 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.
