Sierra was fantastic. We could not have asked for a better person to pop in on Pirate. She was very communicative, friendly, and professional. She helped give our cat the medication that she regularly takes, and it was such a relief to know that aspect of her care was covered. Would happily work with her again and cannot recommend her more. ❤️💕❤️💕

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!

About: With 8 years of experience, I provide loving and attentive care for both dogs and cats. I have worked with puppies, senior pets, and even partially blind or deaf animals. I'm skilled in administering medications using various methods, ensuring your pet gets the care they need. I offer walks, playtime, feedings, and plenty of cuddles! Comfortable handling multiple dogs at once, I’ve cared for households with up to seven dogs, managing feedings and walks with ease. Your pet’s safety, happiness, and well-being are always my top priorities! I'm currently a college student with a schedule that allows me to stop by in the morning, midday, and afternoon/night. On weekends I am completely open for care unless stated otherwise on my availability. I provide care in my client’s home to ensure pets stay comfortable in their familiar environment. I follow each pet’s usual schedule for feeding, walks, and playtime to minimize stress and maintain their routine. I also send regular photo updates so owners can see how happy and well their pets are while they’re away.

About: I have been a big animal lover since I was little. I started pet sitting for friends and family in high school and I started volunteering at my local animal shelter in college. I currently am an Animal Care Tech at UGA and work with animals like cats, dogs, and mice daily! I am also very comfortable administering most medications I currently work full time as an Animal Care Tech at UGA from 8-4 on M-F so I can care for your pet early mornings or in the afternoon/evenings! If you need someone during the weekdays to let your pet out frequently (they can’t go 8 hours without a bathroom break) I may not be the sitter for you. I have more availability to let them out during weekends, but if you have any questions just shoot me a message! Safety is my #1 concern when it comes to your pet! I have many years of animal care experience and I am trained to handle most safety issues when it comes to animals. I want to treat your pet like they’re my own!

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.

About: I've had pets my whole life. Currently, I have two of the sweetest dogs! Other than my own, I have taken care of other people's pets since I was about 15. I have cared for other animals by staying in their home over night, bringing the dogs to my home, and drop-ins throughout the day. I am very reliable and will treat your pet like my own! I’m currently working in the mornings most days with the exception of Thursdays. I am available to care for your pets in the mornings, afternoons, and nights Friday-Wednesdays. On Thursdays, I’m available mornings and nights. I’m pretty flexible, so I’m sure we can work something out to make sure your pet gets all the attention and love! Whatever your pets are most comfortable with in your home, I can do! I love to keep pets on a schedule and what they’re used to, so whatever they need I can accommodate.

Ashley was prompt in responding, always courteous and friendly. Her check-in reports showed me that our cat was relaxed and happy with her. When our flight was cancelled she was ready to extend our pet's check-ins without a hitch. She was observant and knowledgeable about our cat's behavior and made good alternative play suggestions to help retrain some behaviors that might become problematic. The check-in schedule varied a bit from what we agreed upon, but I told her I was flexible and actually the changes seemed to suit the cat fine. I sure hope she'll be available the next time I need someone to check-in on our cat.

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!

Linda was super helpful with my last last-minute request for my cat. She followed all of my instructions and maintained thorough communication. She was friendly, kind, and great with my cat. He’s picky sometimes with people and he took right to her, so I think we’d both give her five stars!

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!

We feel so lucky to have found Nicole. She is so thorough and kind and she asked great questions during our introduction.

FAQs for Drop-In Visits - Athens

Frequently asked questions about Rover

The average cost for Cat Sitting in Athens on Rover is $19.98 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 524 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
  • 97% can help with giving oral medications or injections
  • 98% 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.
