Evelyn took excellent care of Huey, Zeke, and Hamilton. She sent regular updates and lots of photos. I can tell the dogs really enjoy being around her and she took all the stress out of traveling with pets at home. I cannot recommend her highly enough and will definitely book again.

Erica must be a "cat whisperer" as our shy pet accepted her immediately. Erica visited on schedule and completed all tasks as well as additional tasks of her own discretion. She has proven to be trustworthy so we feel confident that our cat will be in good hands while we are away.

Charlene is terrific! So patient and kind with my two crazy dogs. Couldn’t ask for a better, more loving person to check in on them. She has been more than willing to spend time with my large dog who has terrible anxiety and isn’t great with strangers but he took to her immediately which is how I knew I made the right choice when choosing her as a sitter. So thankful we found her!

About: I’ve taken care of animals since I was about 10, I’m 21 now. My major is Pre-Veterinary because I’ve had a love for animals and dream of being a vet since I was 7. I have a cat of my own, Luna, and she’s my world. I treat her like a baby so I would love to share the same love to your fur babies! I work full-time as a manager at Walmart, and I’m a full time college student (online). I’m pretty fair and understanding with scheduling, as long as you reach out in advance. If my schedule doesn’t fit for you, I do not mind adjusting to accommodate you and your fur babies! I also don’t have an issue with last minute planning, just be mindful of scheduling issues or certain questions I asks in regards of the service you’ve requested! When caring for pets in my home or a client’s home, I focus on keeping their routine as normal and comfortable as possible. I make sure they are fed on schedule, have fresh water, and get plenty of exercise and attention throughout the day. I also monitor their behavior to make sure they are happy, healthy, and not feeling stressed while their owner is away. As well as in a clients home, I respect your space and specific instructions on pet care! Ensuring your pets and home’s safety is never an issue.

About: Animals have always been a big part of my life, both professionally and personally. I worked at Shelley Drive Animal Clinic for four years, where I cared for dogs and cats by administering medications, feeding, cleaning kennels and litter boxes, monitoring their health, and ensuring they were comfortable and well cared for. Outside of work, I have a farm where I care for my horse and two dogs, giving me hands-on experience with animals of different sizes and personalities. I earned a bachelor’s degree in Animal Science and am currently pursuing my master’s degree in Animal Science. Whether your pet needs playtime, medication, or extra patience and attention, you can trust that they will receive compassionate, reliable, and knowledgeable care with me. Pet care is woven into my life through work, farm responsibilities, and animal science studies, giving me hands-on experience and compassion for animals each day. Your pet’s safety, happiness, and comfort are my top priorities. I will provide a loving, safe, and stress-free environment where your pet feels secure while you’re away. Every pet will receive plenty of attention, affection, playtime, and personalized care based on their individual needs and routine. Whether it’s feeding, administering medication, going for walks, or simply providing companionship, I’ll care for your pet as if they were my own. My goal is to give you peace of mind, knowing your furry family member is in compassionate, trustworthy, and capable hands.

About: I have had dogs my entire life, as a four years ago I got an orange cat and could not choose between either for the life of me. I cannot wait to meet and take care of your fur babies :) I am currently in nursing school only taking up 2 to 3 days a week. I am now available for boarding at my home so feel free to look into that as well!! I make sure that the bowls are always full, or their food has been given on time along with medication if needed. I also make sure they are getting as much outside time as they can get.

About: I’ve been pet sitting for the almost 7 years. My husband-who also works with me- has been taking care and sitting pets for the last 12 years. We have a beautiful, and energetic kelpie mix named Biscuit, and British shorthair named Eggs. Health and safety are a main priority to both of us. We like to make sure that all dogs in our care are well hydrated, and that no dog is in a situation that makes them nervous. We always make sure to provide the best care for each individual, because this isn’t just an animal, it’s a member of your family, and we know that you would want the best care for your family like we would. Currently I work part time. I am able to look after your wonderful pets full time all days of the week if given a 7 days notice of when services are needed. By ensuring that all equipment is properly secured with taking walks or engaging outdoors with environment or other animals, and that any messes are cleaned, whether it be on the animal or the places they are staying in.

Teja was absolutely wonderful with my dogs. She treated them with love and care as if they were her own. I am so grateful for her help. She is very responsible and reliable. I am so thankful for her. She took care of everything that needed to be taken care of and did extra on top of it. She wasn't late and gave me peace of mind while I was on vacation. I had a lot of anxiety about leaving my dogs but Teja really came through for us. She was super friendly and kind to my dogs. She really took a burden off me and I will always be grateful for her assistance. She has great attention to detail. She gave thorough attention to us through the app and our dogs, making sure everything was safe and secure at home. Teja is a very lovely person who truly has a giant heart for doggies! 10/10 Would recommend

About: Hi! I’m a dependable, caring pet sitter who treats every pet as if they were my own. I offer drop-in visits, house sitting, and dog walking, and I’m happy to tailor each visit to your pet’s unique needs. Whether that means long walks, playtime, feeding, administering medications, litter box cleaning, or simply keeping your pet company, my goal is to make sure they feel safe, comfortable, and loved while you’re away. I have hands-on experience caring for both cats and dogs of all ages, temperaments, and energy levels. From playful puppies and active dogs to senior pets and shy or independent cats, I understand that every animal needs a different approach. I’m patient, attentive, and respectful of routines, which helps pets feel at ease in their own home. I have a flexible schedule that allows me to dedicate quality time to the pets I care for. I’m able to provide consistent check-ins, unrushed walks, and attentive in-home care. Because I plan my day around my Rover commitments, I’m reliable with timing, communication, and updates. I always send photos and notes so you can feel confident and connected while you’re away.

FAQs for Cat Sitting - Athens

Frequently asked questions about Rover

The average cost for Cat Sitting in Athens on Rover is $19.98 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 .

As of September 2026, there are 95 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:

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