“Erica did a wonderful job checking in on my cat every day for a week while I was out of town. I was so relieved and happy to to get daily updates and pictures. Erica was wonderful at loving on my cat, feeding her, and playing with her. Communicating with Erica was a breeze. She was very quick and responsive to all my texts and always pleasant. I have already booked her for some more check-ins coming later in the month. I highly recommend!”

“Kayla is amazing!!! It was my first time using Rover and Kayla was extremely well communicative during booking and before the visit. My cat is super shy but Hazel eventually warmed up to her and Kayla sent great pics everyday. Even when there was severe weather she communicated with me and made sure Hazel was well taken care of. You can tell she loves cats and they love her back. I’ll definitely be booking her again!”

“Megan was outstanding! She took a last minute overnight booking to take care of our cats and feed our chickens. I couldn’t have been more pleased with her timeliness and communication from the meet and greet to her keeping me informed throughout her stay. Most importantly, our cats were well cared for - she really connected with them.”

About: I’ve been taking care of pets for friends and family since I was 16. This includes daily watching or housesitting/pet sitting for extended periods of time. There is nothing I enjoy more than bonding with animals and being a source of safety and comfort when their humans are away! I currently work from home and can be available to work from various locations! My workload varies day to day but often provides ample break times! I provide pet care in the home of others by following the established rules and wishes of the pet owner to a T. I like to keep pets on their already established routines and ensure they are receiving the same love and care their human would give! This also includes whatever chores are required while in the home as well.

About: Hi! My name is Cathy, and ever since I was a little kid, I have had a huge fascination and connection with animals, specifically dogs. As a younging I'd spend my free time researching dog breeds for fun, and before I was old enough to work on Rover, I I hung up fliers advertising my own dog walking business. Since I love dogs so much, I have heaps of experience walking and pet sitting all kinds of dogs. From my late large dog, Quiver, a Flat-coated Retriever, to a medium sized Australian Shepard, to a Miniature Schnauzer. I will dedicate 100% of my attention and time to making sure your dog is always happy and healthy! I have years of experience caring for senior dogs. When I heard about my dog’s disease prognosis, I began hand cooking him meals chock full of cancer-fighting vegetables and supplements in addition to his dry food. This included (as seen in my photos) sweet potatoes, red cabbage, broccoli, turmeric, fish oil, mushroom powder, etc. The vet had projected he would only live another 2 months, with my care and the change of his food, he lived and loved over 2 more years! So if your dog has a special diet, do not hesitate to let me know. I am currently a student who mainly works from home so I have plenty of time and a wide open schedule to care for your precious pets. My house is smoke free, pet safe and pet friendly. You can rest assured your companion is safe, cared for and happy with me. I love dogs and dogs love me!

“Anna was a phenomenal pet sitter, and we will not hesitate to hire her again! First, and most importantly, our animals were well cared for. We appreciated the updates, and photos and videos Anna sent. All of their daily tasks were taken care of and we came home to clean pens and litter boxes. She also treated our house with such respect. It was so nice to get home and have happy animals and a clean house.”

About: I’ve always loved working with animals I think they bring so much joy into our lives. I personally own one dog of my own along side with 7 cats. I have a pretty good experience with this job I genuinely love seeing and working with all animals. And I love to help in anyway I can!! Well I’m currently doing an online college program so my schedule isn’t very limited and I actually have a lot of free range with my schedule. My cats are very independent so when they need love they express it to me and I give it to them. My dog is still in his puppy stage so I try to not give so much attention so he isn’t very dependent on it. But I just try to make sure there space is very well kept and cleaned and make sure each pet gets as much love as the others. Our animals only see us for there entire life time so making sure they are happy and safe is the main priority!!!

About: I would say I cater to all emotions and care of animals. I would try my best to give each different home a equal care that fits each breed and age. I am flexible and communicate well, with both owners and their fur babies. I am currently working seasonal and or part - time jobs. I am looking for a consistent routine such as taking care of a companion for my switch to school. I have worked will dogs more often than other animals. That being, when I have gone to clients homes I offer their companions plenty of time to either be outside or just have someone to keep them company. All pets very so all care is different.

About: I’ve cared for animals at every stage of life, from energetic puppies to senior dogs who need extra patience and attention. I also have experience caring for special-needs cats and understand that every pet has unique needs and personalities. In addition to dogs and cats, I’ve cared for budgies, cockatiels, and cockatoos, so I’m comfortable with a variety of animals and their care routines. I pay close attention to each pet’s body language and behavior so I can help them feel safe, comfortable, and understood. Whether your pet loves long walks, playtime, quiet companionship, or simply sticking to their normal routine, I’ll provide the care they need while treating them like they’re part of my own family. I’m dependable, patient, and committed to giving every pet the love, attention, and care they deserve while you’re away. I currently work part-time, which gives me plenty of flexibility to care for your furry family members. I’m available throughout the weekdays/weekends and have plenty of time for walks, playtime, feeding, potty breaks, and lots of love and attention. I understand how important it is to keep pets on their regular routine, and I’ll make sure they feel safe. Your pet’s safety and comfort are my top priorities. I can care for your pet in the comfort of your home or, if you’re comfortable with it, in my home. My yard is fully fenced, providing a secure space for dogs to play and explore safely. I understand how important it is to stay connected while you’re away, so I’ll provide regular updates with texts, photos, or calls to let you know how your pet is doing. I’ll follow your pet’s routine as closely as possible, giving them plenty of love, attention, exercise, and care to help them feel happy and at ease.

About: I grew up in a dog centered home were caring for pets. Was just a part of life from walking, feeding and playing with our family dogs to learning how to read their moods and respect their boundaries. I’ve always been hands-on, even though dogs were the heart of our homes I’ve also loved cats spending time with my friends kitties, and even rescuing and rehoming a few myself. I treat all animals with kindness, patients, and lots of love as I feel they are truly an extension of family Pet care fits in with my weekly routine because I am on summer break as a teacher and have lots of free time to take care of furry critters Care for pets means that they are comfortable and happy each animal has their distinct temperament and I will be willing to work with any client

We had to book last minute travel due to a family emergency, and Maria was able to accommodate us on short notice. Communication was great, and she was flexible with our needs and updates. Our Maltese, Marley, doesn’t do well with other dogs, so boarding would have been extra stressful. We really appreciated being able to schedule three drop-in visits per day. Thanks for taking care of our fur babies while we were away!

I booked Amber to watch my kitties over the Christmas holiday. I came home to my kitties healthy, and thus grateful for their care. We did have some communication issues (her phone didn’t have service/not on and a missed drop in which I had to reach out to her first (hours later) to understand what was going on). I do want to say that she did remedy the issue in the end. My only critique is that I would have wanted her to find a way to communicate with me first when things arise that affect my pets feeding schedule so I could find an alternative solution, that way she could focus on any personal emergencies that pop up. Overall Amber is nice and friendly and I know with more pet-sitting experience she will be a well-sought after Rover sitter.

FAQs for Cat Sitting - Bayview

Frequently asked questions about Rover

The average cost of Cat Sitting in Bayview is $28 per visit as of November 2026. Most bookings cost between $23 and $39 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 1,710 sitters on Rover offering Cat Sitting across Bayview. 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 Bayview. On Rover:

  • 84% of sitters can help with special care needs
  • 89% 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.
