“Kaitlyn has been fantastic. She is very responsive to my dogs needs. She is on time and so sweet with my boy making sure he gets potty breaks, and exercise, and love. She is easy to commute with and is adaptive with our needs day to day. 10/10 would recommend.”
“Sophia was fantastic!! This was my first time using her, and she was so sweet, very punctual, and took great care of our cats. I will definitely be using her in the future, and am so happy to have found a trustworthy person to care for our pets!”
“Cheyenne updated me on everything about both my animals and took care of them exactly how I wanted. To what I had seen in pictures my animals absolutely loved her and ended up becoming extremely comfortable with her!”
“Jessica was so wonderful! She took great care of my kitty who had a emergency surgery right before I left. I loved the photos and updates! Being away from my Leo usually causes me anxiety but I felt so much better knowing he was in good hands. I will definitely rebook with Jessica next time I am out of town. :)”
“Cannot adequately express how wonderful they were! Our dogs were cared for so well. Communication was easy, and they were very flexible over the week. I will absolutely book with them again.”
“I couldn’t be happier with the care my pets received during our recent drop-in visits. Emily did an amazing job with our Hazel. I especially appreciated the detailed updates and photos after each visit. It's obvious that Emily is experienced and cares for animals.”
“Linda did daily drop in visits for our two cats while we were out of town for the holidays. Great communication and admirable patience with our oldest, rather grumpy cat. We felt very comfortable on vacation with the cats in Linda’s care!”
“Angela was absolutely phenomenal with all 3 of our pets! Freya is a big dog with a lot of energy, so we were a little anxious about leaving her with someone new, but Angela instantly eased those fears. She was very helpful and communicative above and beyond what we expected. If you're on the fence about a pet-sitter, Angela is absolutely one you can trust.”
About: I've been a dog owner my entire life, and caring for animals has always been a part of who I am. Every dog has their own personality and routine, and I enjoy taking the time to make them feel safe, comfortable, and loved while their family is away. One of the most meaningful parts of my experience has been caring for senior dogs and providing compassionate end-of-life care. I understand how important patience, consistency, and gentle attention are during every stage of a dog's life. Whether your pet needs medication, a slower-paced walk, extra cuddles, or simply someone to keep them company, I'm happy to provide the care they deserve. I value responsibility, communication, and attention to detail, and I'll care for your pet with the same dedication I bring to every commitment. My goal is to give you peace of mind while making sure your dog feels happy, safe, and cared for. I truly love spending time with animals and am excited for the opportunity to give back to my community by helping local families care for their beloved pets. As a Ph.D. student, I have a flexible schedule and set my own working hours. Most of my research and academic work can be completed remotely, which allows me to spend a significant amount of time at home. I typically go into the lab for only a few hours each day and live very close to my workplace, so I often come home during lunch as well. This flexibility means your dog won't be left alone for long periods of time. I'll have plenty of opportunities throughout the day to provide companionship, playtime, and attention. Whether your dog enjoys long walks, games of fetch, cuddling on the couch, or simply having someone nearby, I'll make sure they feel comfortable and cared for. I can also provide regular potty breaks, outdoor exercise, and enrichment activities to keep your dog happy and engaged. My goal is to maintain your pet's normal routine as much as possible while giving them the love, attention, and care they deserve. When caring for pets in my home, I do everything I can to help them feel safe, comfortable, and part of the family. I take the time to learn each pet's routine, including feeding schedules, potty breaks, exercise, medications, and any special needs, so they can maintain a sense of familiarity while you're away. Throughout the day, your dog will receive plenty of attention, playtime, enrichment, and affection. My home has a securely fenced yard where dogs can safely explore, play, and enjoy frequent potty breaks. I also live near a park, making it easy to provide longer walks, fresh air, and extra exercise for dogs who enjoy getting out and exploring. I share my home with two friendly, well-socialized cats who are comfortable around dogs. They are calm, respectful of other animals, and have experience living alongside canine visitors. If your dog enjoys feline company, they'll have friendly companions, and if they prefer their own space, I'm happy to provide separate areas so everyone feels safe and comfortable. Above all, I treat every pet as if they were my own. I'll provide regular updates and photos while you're away, so you can have peace of mind knowing your pet is happy, loved, and receiving the best possible care.
“Destinee was amazing! Took great care of our cat while we were away. I already have her booked for the next time we’re out of town. She even spent more time than requested with him during her visits. 10/10 sitter!”
About: I’ve raised kittens from the streets, I have raised puppies when they were 4 weeks old up and still do. I love any animal. Always walking and playing with dogs as well as love training them! I work remote, so am super flexible when it comes to anything to do with pet sitting/dog walking! I love every animal and breed! At a clients home if they have a yard I’d love to play outside with them and monitor them to make sure they aren’t ingesting anything bad! If they don’t I will go on walks with them when it is not too hot for them or even bring them to the dog park!
“Erica has been great to my cat, Angelina! She sends daily pictures and updates. In advance, she met Angelina to see if she’d be comfortable with her. During the cold weather, Erica was also conscientious of ensuring my heat was on for Angelina.”
“Sierra is awesome. Did everything I asked her to do. My cat really liked her. I also really appreciate that she’s a vet tech. I was anxious about something concerning my cats dental health and Sierra helped talk me out of my anxiety. Sierra is def 10/10 pet sitter I’m definitely going to book her again”
“We highly recommend Grace as a pet sitter and will happily hire her again. She provided excellent care for our cats, giving them individualized attention and ensuring they were content and relaxed upon our return. Grace's communication was prompt and clear, keeping us informed throughout - we loved the pictures and thoughtful updates! Additionally, our home was left clean and well-maintained. Very much appreciated!”
“Ella did a fantastic job coming to our home to watch our cats for a week. She followed all instructions perfectly, sent us plenty of pictures and videos of our cats, and even went above and beyond when we had a bit of an issue with our water fountain. Will definitely be using her again!”
“kathryn was so great with mitsi! she left me a detailed review of their time together (two walks in one day) and mitsi looked super happy in the photos. i’ll definitely be reaching out to kathryn in the future for times i need care for mitsi!”

Destinee is hands down one of the best pet sitters I’ve ever had. She goes above and beyond and my very sensitive and dramatic cat absolutely adored her. Can’t thank her enough for keeping him company and taking care of him for such a long stretch of time. Couldn’t have asked for a better experience.
Linda was so great with our 3 cats! She was very detailed at our meet-and-greet and made sure to verify the care instructions multiple times. She wrote a nice report card everyday and went out of her way to make sure the cats were well taken care of. She was also very accommodating with our schedule. I would definitely recommend her and will be using her services again in the future!
Fabulous love and care for our Maine Coons. Even caught an ear infection near the end of our trip with video so we were able to arrange a vet visit for the morning after we got back with no delay. So nice to be halfway around the world knowing Olivia is feeding, cuddling, and looking after our darlings!
Leah is an amazing sitter - she did drop ins for our cats while we were on a long vacation. This was the longest we’ve left them, and Leah made us confident that our boys were getting the best care the entire time we were away. We really appreciated the detailed summaries and photos from each and every visit, it was so reassuring and our kids asked to see the pics all the time! We will definitely hire Leah again and would recommend her to anyone looking for a sitter!
Lauren was great! She came by for a meet and greet, and the cats were excited to meet her. She asked good questions about their care. Lauren’s updates were comprehensive, and I liked reading about how the cats were doing and seeing the pictures of her playing with them. One of the cats was on a daily liquid medication, and she even included pictures of Rosie taking her medicine. I felt really comfortable leaving my kitties her care. I highly recommend Lauren!
Luciana took wonderful care of my senior kitty while I was away for a long weekend, and I’m so grateful! Beyond making sure he had fresh food/ water and a clean litter box, she took genuine care to make sure he felt safe, happy, and loved. Luciana was incredibly kind and patient with my kitty, and it gave me such peace of mind knowing he was in such caring hands. I highly recommend her!
Landen and Nataly were amazing!! They are kind people who genuinely care about your pet like it’s their own! They sent several pictures at each visit, cleaned the litter box, gave food and water, and kept my girl entertained while I was gone! I highly recommend them and will absolutely reach out to them for all of my pet sitting needs!!
Lindsay is an excellent cat sitter. From the very beginning, she was responsible, kind, and extremely attentive. She took wonderful care of my cats and made sure they were comfortable, safe, and happy while I was away. Lindsay kept me updated with messages and photos, which gave me great peace of mind. It’s clear that she truly loves animals and treats them as if they were her own. I highly recommend her and would absolutely trust her again.
Very kind and attentive with my cat, Albert! She was very communicative throughout the entire process, and I felt at ease while I was away knowing that Albert had such a great caretaker! Absolutely zero complaints, and I would definitely recommend Tameron to anyone in Athens looking for a pet sitter.
This was my first time trying Rover, and Emma was wonderful! She was quickly to respond when booking, and a great communicator throughout the visits. Always kept me informed, leave notes about food/water/litter and sent photos of both my kitties. One of my cats is very skittish, but he warmed-up super quickly. She is truly an outstanding pet caregiver, highly recommend.

Frequently asked questions about Rover
The average cost for Cat Sitting in Athens on Rover is $19.98 per visit (as of August 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 August 2026, there are 533 sitters on Rover offering Cat Sitting across Athens. 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 Athens. On Rover:
- 86% of sitters can help with special care needs

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.
