“Carina did a wonderful job of taking care of my cat while our family was away for 9 days. We have security cameras so in addition to the check-in and check-out on Rover, my cameras alerted me to when she arrived and left. She showed up every day and sent me reports on his eating and bathroom habits as well as pictures of him playing with her and getting pets and treats. I will definitely use Carina again if she's available!”

“Shibo was absolutely amazing! I have two male cats, and one of them I had just adopted 10 days before leaving for my trip. He was very skittish when I first got him, but he warmed up to Shibo right away. My other cat took a liking to him immediately as well—who wouldn’t! Shibo was so wonderful, giving my cats the attention they needed while I was away. In the past, I relied on neighbors and people just stopping by to feed and check on them, but my experience with Shibo has completely changed my perspective. It is worth every penny to have someone as great as him looking after your fur babies! When I returned, I could see the difference in my fluffy companions in the best way as this is very early in their introduction phase. I had peace of mind knowing they were well cared for. Shibo provided fantastic updates and beautiful photos, making it clear that my cats had a wonderful time with their new friend. I have full trust in Shibo as I also came home to find everything exactly as I expected. I highly recommend Shibo for anyone looking for a trustworthy and caring pet sitter! Especially cats.”

About: Hi there! I’am Kostas, a passionate animal lover with 4 years of experience in pet care. I’ve had the pleasure of caring for dogs, cats, and other furry friends providing them with love, attention, and cuddles. I work part-time, with a schedule that changes weekly, but I have availability in the mornings, evenings, and nights. When I’m working, my girlfriend, who also loves and cares for animals, helps take care of your pet to ensure they always receive attention and care. Feel free to reach out, and we can find a time that works best for your pet’s needs! Before each visit, I review the pets information including the routines, diet and any medical conditions. I feed the pets according the owners instructions and ensure they have access to fresh water

About: I’m an attentive sitter only with experience caring for my family’s brown dachshund, Snickers (yes like after the Snickers bar lol), over the past year. I may not have formal pet‑care training, but I have a natural ease with animals and a friendly, patient presence that helps them feel comfortable. I’m reliable, gentle, and committed to making your pet feel safe, happy, and well‑cared‑for. I currently work full-time Monday through Friday on a hybrid schedule. I can work around my work schedule and supplying care on the weekends and in the early afternoon and evenings during the weekdays. Although all options won’t be available at once every week, those would be my typical options. As far as pet care, of course there’s feeding, walking, playing and exercising, and general comfort of the pet. I will be willing to supply whatever needs specific to that pet given the instruction from the owner.

About: I’ve taken care of dogs for the past 5 years, including my family dog and family friends’. I love going on walks, bathing, and feeding dogs. I know some tricks to give them medicine if needed. I’m working part-time on Saturdays, so I have plenty of free time to dedicate to your fur baby throughout the week. I don’t have any time restraints, so feel free to rely on me. I know how to crate dogs, regardless of age, and have a lot of patience since I’ve babysat toddlers before too. I know not all dogs are the same and wait for them to approach first unless there’s an emergency.

“John was PHENOMENAL. We were incredibly worried to leave Bear alone as he has been thru much change as his owner passed and we took him in so we were very reluctant about using this service. John came by before to meet Bear and we hit it off with him and he with us and Bear. Sent us great updates with pictures and did everything we asked with ease. We highly recommend using John for your pet sitting needs and we will NO QUESTION use him again for any future dog sitting we need.”

About: My 3 kids and I run a small business caring for animals mostly dogs. All 3 are in their 20’s. My son, Adam does most of the walks and house sitting, I handle the boarding. My reviews are not only for me but for my boys as well. I come from a long line of animal lovers and grew up with many dogs, cats, birds, hamsters. Animals are my life! They offer unconditional love and rely on us to give them love, affection and to meet all of their basic needs. I own my own home on a private dead end street. When your fur babies are here, they are part of our family and are never left alone. There is always someone at home. My mission is to make sure all pups in my care, feel safe, loved and happy. I recently left my job in the medical field. I’m spending my time now with my adult children and my dogs. Life is too short to not do what you love everyday Safety is a priority in my home and I live on a private street with only two houses so there is absolutely zero traffic here

About: Every dog has their own personality, and I believe the best care starts with understanding that. Some dogs want to play all day, some need patience and time to trust you, and others are happiest just having someone calmly by their side. I always take the time to learn what makes each pet feel safe and comfortable. My experience with animals started helping rescue dogs in South America, including dogs that were scared, shy, or came from difficult situations. It taught me patience and how important it is to let an animal trust you at their own pace. I’m comfortable with dogs of all sizes and personalities, as well as cats. Whether your pet is energetic, shy, cuddly, independent, or a little nervous with new people, I’ll care for them based on what they need and make sure they feel safe, happy, and cared for while you’re away. Pet care has always been a big part of my daily routine. I care for my own pets every day, so I’m very used to planning my schedule around feeding times, walks, playtime and making sure they get the attention they need. I have a flexible schedule and plenty of time to dedicate to the pets in my care. I understand how important consistency is, so I’m happy to follow your pet’s normal routine, including their usual walk times, feeding schedule and any specific instructions you have. I want them to feel as comfortable as possible even when you’re away. I know how much trust it takes to leave your pet and your home in someone else’s care. I take that responsibility seriously. I always follow the routine and instructions you give me because I want your pet to feel as comfortable and normal as possible while you’re away. I pay close attention to feeding times, walks, medications if needed, playtime and the little things that are specific to your pet. I’m also respectful of your home and will always leave it the way I found it. I’m happy to send pictures and updates so you can feel comfortable knowing your pet is safe and being well cared for. I care for every pet with the same patience and attention I would want someone to give my own.

About: I’ve always loved animals, especially cats! I have a cat of my own and have spent years caring for pets. I’ve dog-sat for many of my friends, including caring for their dogs for stays lasting several weeks or even months. I also volunteered at a cat shelter for a year, where I cared for and spent time with many different cats. I’m comfortable with feeding, walks, playtime, cleaning, giving pets attention, and making sure they feel safe and comfortable while their owners are away. I treat every pet like they’re my own and would love to take care of yours! I have a flexible schedule and can work pet care into my routine. I’m available for walks, drop-in visits, and longer stays, and I’m happy to discuss specific dates and times with each pet parent. I’m also comfortable caring for pets for extended periods when needed. I prioritize making every pet feel safe, comfortable, and cared for. I’m attentive to each pet’s routine and personality and will follow their owner’s instructions closely. I have experience caring for dogs in their homes and my own cat, as well as caring for many cats while volunteering at a shelter. I’m responsible, patient, and always make sure pets receive plenty of attention, playtime, food, and care.

Morgan is amazing! She is very thoughtful, kind, and professional. My cat is usually a bit cautious with strangers, but he fell in love with her at the first sight. Morgan kept me updated with daily reports and photos, and answered all my questions promptly and clearly. Communication with her is always smooth, pleasant, and assuring. I feel fortunate knowing that I have someone I can trust with my 🐈‍⬛ when cannot be with him.

FAQs for Cat Sitting - Baxter Estates

Frequently asked questions about Rover

The average cost of Cat Sitting in Baxter Estates is $36 per visit as of November 2026. Most bookings cost between $22 and $43 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 3,511 sitters on Rover offering Cat Sitting across Baxter Estates. 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 Baxter Estates. On Rover:

  • 81% of sitters can help with special care needs
  • 86% can help with giving oral medications or injections
  • 88% 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.
