“Alexis was wonderful! She looked after our two cats while we were gone for a week. It was so nice to come back and they were not as anxious because of the time she spent with them. The litter and food areas were clean as well. It was great to come home to. Thank you for everything and we will definitely be working with you again!”

“Susan was extremely punctual and helpful during her drop-in visits and I couldn’t be happier! She went above and beyond making sure the area around the litter box was clean, sending plenty of pictures and keeping my cat well-fed and provided with lots of treats. I’ve got an extremely shy kitty and she made the effort to keep him comfortable without pushing him, the second I got back home he was right back to his happy self. Will definitely book again the next time I need a sitter”

About: Cats have always been a special part of my life. I’ve always had a cat in my home, and over the years, I’ve cared for cats of different ages, breeds, personalities, and needs, including multiple cats at the same time. Living with cats for so long has helped me understand their habits, body language, and unique personalities very well. I always take the time to make each cat feel safe, comfortable, and loved. I also love learning about cats and regularly keep myself updated on feline behavior, health, and care so I can provide the best possible experience for every cat I look after. 🐱❤️ I’m currently working as a freelancer, so I’ll have plenty of time to play with your cats. I’m available for boarding on weekends, and weekdays after 10 AM. I have a small, fully fenced patio that provides a safe space for cats to get some fresh air and enjoy the outdoors. I also have a friendly, calm, and well-mannered Persian Himalayan cat who usually spends most of her time on the second floor of the house. She is used to living around other cats and has had positive experiences with cats of different personalities. I always make sure every cat feels safe, comfortable, and has their own space when needed.

About: With 2 cattle dogs of my own, my love for animals has been consistent throughout my life. My day revolves around making my pups happy and comfortable, I would ensure that same standard to your furry friends. Special meals, walks, fetch, enrichment, and more, catering to your pal is my mission. I am a personal trainer and currently only work online, the only time I am out of the house is for any grocery runs or a workout of my own. I am constantly around for any animals needs as I have 2 very spoiled and needy dogs, and 2 hungry cats of my own. We live in a home in fletcher on 4 acres and a pond with an unfenced yard. Cats have a designated room with 2 litter boxes, lots of toys and food. Doggy day care includes fetch and or walks around the hilly neighborhood, maybe a dip in the pond! Dogs who are not off-leash trained will be on leash any time out doors.

About: I have over twenty years’ experience as a volunteer at local animal shelters. I work mostly with large dogs from walking to training to fostering. In addition, I have an 16yr old cat and experience with fostering kittens. In addition to taking care of your pet(s), I will happily provide care of your home as well - getting mail, taking out garbage, watering plants, etc. Happy to send you my FB page, where you’ll find reviews. I work full time Monday through Friday but am happy to stop by in the morning and at night. Each visit can be up to an hour long. I adhere to the pets’ routine and make them as comfortable as possible. This means keeping the same schedule, food, treats, and snuggles. The goal is for you to not worry about them because they’re in good hands and come back to a happy pet!

“Tabitha communicated well and in a very timely manner from the first inquiry through pick up at the end of the week. Due to her top notch reviews, we had confidence she would take excellent care of our cat. She proved us correct. Our kitty guy was happy while away, and reintegrated into our household seamlessly. We appreciated Tabitha’s help in caring for our pet while our floors were being refinished and would definitely book with her again.”

About: I grew up with several pets including dogs, cats, and exotic birds and have a 6 month old blue heeler of my own. I have amateur dog training experience and by request, I can support your dog's training needs while I am looking out for them. No charge! I will make sure your fur baby receives love as though they are my own. They’ll get lots of playtime, walks and I’ll will send photo updates of how they’re doing. I currently work full time from home so it is very easy for me to be attentive and look after your furry loved one in addition to my own 6 month old blue heeler who is very sweet and friendly with other dogs. I work from home Monday through Friday during the day and this leaves a lot of flexibility to go on walks and play together on the trails right on the 10 acres of wooded land. My home is tucked away in a safe location with a lot of space away from busy roads. I live on 10 acres of wooded land and several trails that loop the entire property that allows for a lot of sniffing opportunities, playtime in nature, and staying in a safe environment throughout the day.

About: I take care in respecting your animals space and wishes. If they don’t want me to be near them, I won’t and if they don’t want me to touch them, I won’t. I will give your cats and dogs space and the respect that they deserve I’m currently working 2 jobs. I work 1 during the weekdays and my other job is more of a weekend job. Pet care can fit in on my off days which range between 2 to 4 days I care for them with respect and with the client’s instructions. If you don’t want me to approach the pets but leave the food for them to eat, I will do that. If you want me to have a bit of play time with them, I will do that as well.

“Highly recommend. She stayed at my place for a few days with my cats and made the whole experience super easy. We were able to meet up prior. She sent lots of pics and updates, and communication was great the whole time. My cats warmed up to her really quickly, which says a lot, and I could tell they were happy and well taken care of. I also felt comfortable trusting her with my home. Would definitely book her again!”

About: i’ve been around animals all my life! i’m highly experienced with cats of all ages and i am very comfortable with small to most large dogs. i would say i’m least compatible with reactive dogs. i work full time. i wake up in the morning and feed my 16 year old, three legged cat for the day. she has an automatic feeder. i scoop her litter box multiple times a day. she is learning how to be on a harness and leash so i can take her outside. she has been an inside cat her whole life. i get off work around 5:30pm and usually will go to the gym for an hour and then head home the rest of the night. i can easily feed, walk, play with, maintain their environment and keep them company. i feel pretty confident with most dogs and like to use proper training to keep everyone safe. i can easily put your dog in a crate with no problem, but i’ll make sure to give them attention and exercise too. being outdoors is my favorite! i also am very comfortable with cats. so my goal is for them to feel safe and loved by me!

I am committed to expanding my expertise in animal care and am always receptive to new insights, techniques, and communication methods for our beloved companions. To streamline the process, I invite you to schedule a meet and greet at your earliest convenience. I look forward to connecting with you soon. Sincerely, Gabriel Lopez.

My daily work schedule fluctuates based on staffing requirements, with typical shifts ranging from 6 to 9 hours. However, I am able to utilize my lunch breaks to check on our pets. Please ensure your pets can be left unsupervised for 4 to 9 hours while I am at work or asleep. I utilize a "KiraLove Cam" equipped with a two-way microphone and high-definition capabilities. I am pleased to provide screenshots of your pet from this camera during their time under my care. I reside in a pet-friendly apartment complex located in the South Slope downtown area, with a hiking trail conveniently situated a few blocks away. Having lived in downtown Asheville for 10 years, I have curated optimal routes and secure locations for our pets to enjoy throughout the day until your return.

About: As a child I grew up with cats and a dog. I love all animals and see them as people. I treat them with kindness and respect as I would any other person. I love to spend time with them and care for them, play with them and take them for a walk! I currently work part-time online, so I have a lot of time and flexibility for pet-care in my day. For walking and visits, I am available as early as 9:00am. When I care for your pet, this includes a daily walk (unless not needed), play time and plenty of snuggles on the couch any time.

I wish I could give Sandra more than 5 stars. She took such great care of my sweet baby cat and loved on her with the same attention as I do. She provided excellent updates and stayed for the entirety of the time she was booked for (I have not had that same experience with a few other Rovers). I will absolutely book Sandra again for my pet-sitting needs in the future.

I highly recommend Ana! I’m new to the area and needed someone I could trust to care for my shy cat, Littles, while I was out of state for nine days. He was still adjusting to our recent move and had been stressed by water intrusion issues and all the maintenance visits that followed. Ana was quick to respond, easy to communicate with, and set up a meet-and-greet right away. Littles spent most of that first visit hiding behind the couch, but she was patient and determined to win him over. She sent daily photos and updates, and even checked my apartment for water leaks during heavy rain, which gave me so much peace of mind. Within a few days, Littles was curled up in Ana’s lap enjoying all the pets. When I got home, he was relaxed, eating well, and clearly had been well cared for. I’ll definitely be booking Ana again for my September trip and would absolutely recommend her to anyone looking for a kind, dependable pet sitter.

FAQs for Cat Sitting - Arden

Frequently asked questions about Rover

The average cost of Cat Sitting in Arden is $22 per visit as of November 2026. Most bookings cost between $16 and $31 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 197 sitters on Rover offering Cat Sitting across Arden. 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 Arden. On Rover:

  • 93% of sitters can help with special care needs
  • 98% 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 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.
