“Cassandra is such an amazing sitter! She always does such a great job with my kitties while I’m out of town and they all love her so much. She sends the sweetest pictures and updates of my boys too and I always feel at ease knowing that she can visit while I’m away. <3”

“Alyssa did a great job caring for our cats while we were away. They are both very shy and usually keep their distance from new people, so it meant a lot that she was able to make them comfortable enough to come out during her visits. She also did an excellent job communicating, sending thoughtful updates and photos that helped us relax and enjoy our trip. We would happily book Alyssa again and highly recommend her to anyone looking for a caring and reliable pet sitter!”

About: I've lived with and cared for dogs for my entire life; I love all animals, big, small, young, old and anywhere in between, the more animals the better! I have experience with dogs, cats, rats, hamsters, and fish and I get along with all of them. I am available for early mornings and late nights as well as weekends. I am also familiar with and unphased by the less glamorous sides of pet care, I don't mind cleaning up after puppy accidents, I have some experience grooming our shaggier four legged friends, and I know how to administer most puppy medications. I work from home so my availability is wide open for whatever you and your animals need. I am an extremely active person so there is no limit to much I will love and play with your pup, but I will also be patient and sensitive to nervous dog and cats. There is no puppy personality that I don't love. I can't wait to meet your dog! I work remote most days. I also have weekends and evenings available for more involved activities. When im not pet sitting i like to take my own dog for hiking/ camping adventures! A typical day starts with breakfast and a nice romp around the yard, or brisque walk around the neighborhood so your dog can go potty and get out some morning energy. I have a flexible schedule at work so i can take frequent breaks to play and attend to your critters needs. In the evenings, im free again and i like to spend time being active, whether its a long walk, a game of fetch, or even an adventure to the park

About: I’ve taken care of animals ever since I was a little girl. My family has fostered animals growing up, showing me the true meaning of giving someone love even if it’s just temporarily. Being your pets home away from home is important to me and guaranteed! I am available when ever needed my schedule is completely freed up! Let me know what days you need and I will get right back to you! The pets I babysit for are my first priority. Every single one of their needs will always be met and is the most important part of my day.

About: I have a lot of experience with pets, both dogs and cats from a young age. I have a five year old Boston terrier at home. I am currently working a full time job, but I would be available for drop in visits/dog walks during the week after 3pm or on the weekends either day or night time. I am currently living in a small apartment so I would not be available for boarding someone else’s dog in my own home. Thank you.

About: I grew up in a household with many animals and have always loved walking our dogs and taking care of the cats and other animal friends. I would love to care for your pets and give them a special moment in their day and help you remove one thing off the to-do list. Our lives get very busy and for pet-owners, having an extra hand here and there can be very beneficial. As a college student, I am using Rover to help with finances during the semesters. Mixing physical exercise with hanging out with your pet for some time sounds like the perfect activity for me! I hope to be able to assist you with your pet needs. Best, Sieira I am currently a college student at West Chester University and a part-time employee at Wawa, so my availability depends on the day. Tuesdays and Thursdays I am able to be booked for walks or drop ins from 11:30am until 5pm. Saturdays I am only available in the afternoon, from 4pm to 8pm. Sundays I am available anytime requested in the morning until 5pm! I always ensure the pet is comfortable on walks, offering plenty of sniff breaks and giving them lots of water afterwards. For drop ins, I would love to hang out with your pet and allow for some fun socialization when they need it! I always do a temperature check on what the pet is feeling before taking action, as every animal is different and has various needs.

About: Hi! I’m Nicolette. I have over 15 years of experience caring for dogs for friends, family, and neighbors, and I truly enjoy spending time with pups of all breeds and sizes. I have a dog of my own named Prince, a 10 year-old, 30 lb neutered German Pinscher who is very friendly and still acts like a playful puppy. I work from home Monday through Friday, so your dog will receive plenty of attention, playtime, and care throughout the day. I’m available for pet care Monday through Sunday. My home has a fully fenced yard and a friendly dog to keep your pup company. Dogs in my home are treated like family — couches and beds are welcome unless you prefer otherwise. My goal is to make sure your dog feels comfortable, safe, and loved while you’re away. I’m currently working from home Monday-Friday 9am to 5pm. Every other Monday I do go into the office from 9am-3pm. I am available to watch your pup any day Monday-Sunday 😊 I have a fenced in yard and one playful dog to keep your fur baby company! Unless instructed otherwise, no couches or beds are off limits to pups 🐶 My dog lives like a King over here 👑 & I would treat your fur baby the same way!

Cassandra has watched our kitty on several occasions at this point and is my most trusted sitter! She's very communicative, sends pictures every day, and seems to love what she does. She's flexible, dependable, and follows instructions very well! Would recommend her to anyone for pet care. Our fur baby is in great hands with her.

Alana was such a delight. My cat immediately came up to her on the day we met and allowed Alana to pet her. Alana did a wonderful job with my cat. She was on schedule every day. She took lots of pics each visit. If you’re looking for a wonderful, sweet caring person, Alana is the one. Pic her 1st and you won’t be disappointed.

FAQs for Cat Sitting - Barkley

Frequently asked questions about Rover

The average cost of Cat Sitting in Barkley is $21 per visit as of October 2026. Most bookings cost between $18 and $23 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 October 2026, there are 4,205 sitters on Rover offering Cat Sitting across Barkley. 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 .

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 , 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 .

Yes, you can find sitters who have experience with handling special pet needs in Barkley. On Rover:

  • 88% of sitters can help with special care needs
  • 93% can help with giving oral medications or injections
  • 94% 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 , 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.
