“Kim was able to squeeze me in last minute and saved the day! She is absolutely the sweetest person and gives the best pictures of your fur babies. I felt so at ease with her watching them!!! Thank you, Kim!!”
“Sophia took great care of my cat while I was away. I’ve never had someone watch my cat before and she listened to all of my thoughts and answered my questions kindly. Sophia sent updates and photos while I was away and I am thankful she cared for my cat so well!”
“Shelby was fantastic. It was a pleasure to meet her briefly ahead of the planned visits. She took time to connect with the pups so she wouldn’t be “stranger danger” to them, asked about likes and quirks, and from the pics, they had a blast with her. Super communicative and we had a great, worry-free time knowing they were in her care. Thanks, Shelby! We’ll be booking again!”
“Cassidy is a wonderful pet sitter! She was communicative and gave me frequent updates and pictures. You can tell she really puts the effort in to make your pet feel comfortable and happy! Very reliable and would highly recommend her!”
“Anhelika is amazing! She came for a meet and greet, and I knew immediately she was the person we would pick to welcome into our home. She is personable, reliable, and soooo good with dogs. On our trip she sent me countless photos of our dogs. It is so wonderful to know we have her around to help out if needed. Our dogs simply love her!”
“We hired Ellie for dog walking services. She promptly returns my calls and was also happy to do a “meet and greet” with our rather shy, insecure 10 year old Havanese prior to her first visit. We were recently quite delayed in our travels and fortunately she was able to adjust her schedule same day to accommodate us. Thank you Ellie! We will definitely continue hiring Ellie for her services!”
“Leslie was always on time, thoughtful, careful and shared a lot of joy with our dog when we got away for a few days. She couldn't have been more together and kind.”
“Delores, is the best sitter I have ever had for my fur babies and maybe even my non fur babies! She is thoughtful, smart and communicates well! We are very pleased!”
“I was nervous about using Rover but Maureen is top-notch! She actually does drop-on visits for my cat because I work long hours. She has loads of experience, and will get back to you very quickly. She's very sweet and has a real love for dogs and cats. My cat warmed up to her nicely and I look forward to having Maureen tend to her and any other animals I mat adopt in the near future. If you need a sitter she is certainly one you can trust.”
“Lauren was excellent! She communicated well and took care of my very anxious cat in the best possible way. She was also very punctual and quick to respond to messages.”
“Valerie is the only rover sitter I've ever worked with and honestly I never want to switch to a new person. She is FANTASTIC! So patient with my very nervous pup and gives her love like she is her own. I wish I could give 10 stars!”
“Lauren was so polite and put our minds at ease! We have one fur baby that likes nobody and she was getting used to Lauren and her wonderful energy. I will definitely be booking with her again in the future!”
About: I understand that leaving your pet alone can be extremely stressful, but there’s no need to worry! I absolutely love animals and I have the patience to work with any - big or small! I promise to provide the same level of care to your pet as I would my own. I am a high school teacher, so I am currently available only on weekends. However, for the holidays and during summer break I typically stay local so if you are going to be traveling please take me into consideration! I am very comfortable working with dogs in their homes. If they need to be walked, I can easily handle putting on a leash and picking up after them. I am also comfortable handling any toys, food, or medicine your pet may need.
“Brittany was amazing we have two dogs and let’s just say the dogs were not missing us :) they were well cared for! Brittany left great updates and we did not have to worry about anything!”
“When looking for a sitter, Erikas profile stood out to me. I could tell from that she was extremely caring. I knew already knew she was going to be good, but I can happily say she exceeded my expectations. She went above and beyond with keeping the cats area tidy and updating me with details and pictures. I highly recommend!!!”

Delores is the best! a week before we were going to go on a beach trip, my fiancée and I found out our 12 year old cat was diabetic and needed insulin shots. Thankfully we found Delores who was exceptional with our cat. Insulin is a very time specific medication and she came everyday during the time stated, administered his insulin with no troubles, gave him many cuddles, and brought in our many packages (lol). He also had to have his inhaler once nightly and she was great at making sure he got what he needed! She was communicative and left detailed reports. We felt so much more at ease knowing she was watching our boy! Highly recommend her to anyone!
Justin is awesome. He cares for my kitty any time I’m away - very attentive to her needs well beyond what I outline for her care. For example, noticing that despite having a water fountain she likes still her water bowl, so he refilled that even though I’d said not to worry about it. He asked follow up questions to make sure Maggie was well cared for, and got great pictures of her, which showed he was clearly laying on the floor to hang out with her because she’s not much of a lap kitty and doesn’t tend to jump up on chairs or anything to make it easier to pet her. In addition, he kindly brought in a package that was delivered during our absence. Also, I have a severe food allergy that he is careful to accommodate while caring for Maggie the cat. Finally, it’s a huge plus and great to know that if needed, Kacy can step in if Justin isn’t available for some reason. Love the team of Kacy and Justin!! Recommend.
Shelby is amazing! We really appreciate her detailed notes from each visit. She's thorough, easy to talk to, communicative, and knowledgeable. Our babies loved her! You can tell she genuinely enjoys taking care of animals and getting to know their habits and personalities. We will continue booking her services for future cat-sitting needs for sure. Thanks, Shelby!!!
Kim saved our kitty (and us) in a pinch when the cat needed some extra attention (wound care) just as we had a flight coming up! Our kitty obviously adored her. She also went out of her way to spoil our girl with treats and play and brushing and snuggling. Above that, she also kept an eye on our house for us —even stopped an ant invasion!

The average cost for Cat Sitting in Applegate on Rover is $16.65 per visit (as of September 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 .

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.

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.
