Cortney was amazing with my cat, Archie! She was always on time, spent extra time playing with him, and made sure he got plenty of treats and attention. She sent lots of photos and thoughtful updates, which gave me so much peace of mind while I was away. It was clear that Archie was well cared for and happy. I would absolutely book with Cortney again and highly recommend her to anyone looking for a caring and reliable pet sitter!

Melissa was clear and transparent about availability when making plans for her to drop in to care for our cat. She asked lots of questions and sent pictures with updates. She messaged us after we got home to make sure everything was ok. Our cat loved having her visit, thanks Melissa for caring for her like your own!

Lizzy took such wonderful care of my bunny, Bean, that I think he was disappointed to see that I was back from my trip.🤣 I have booked with Lizzy for 6 days later this month and know that Bean will be well taken care of and loved.

Finn went above and beyond as a dog sitter! Her level of love and care for others is evident. She took the time to put on Teddy’s boots and coat before his walks, wiped him clean, fed him and sent me pics! Teddy is spoiled and I knew she would take good care of him since our meet & greet. I had a health procedure so wasn’t feeling great, and she even brought me flowers. What an amazing human, I am lucky I found her! 💕

About: I’ve always been the person who ends up spending more time with dogs than people. 😊 I have about 2 years of experience caring for dogs through family, friends and clients, and I have my own dog who has taught me so much about patience, routines and understanding dogs for who they are. I have experience with small and large dogs, high-energy dogs, seniors, anxious dogs, strong pullers and multiple dogs at once. I’m very active, so I’m happy to keep up with dogs who need lots of exercise, but I’m just as happy with a chill pup who wants company and cuddles. I’m very careful about following routines, feeding instructions and dietary restrictions. Most importantly, I genuinely love spending time with dogs and will treat yours with the same care and attention I give my own. ❤️ I work full-time from home Monday to Friday, which gives me lots of flexibility for walks and drop-ins throughout the day, especially in the mornings, around lunch and in the evenings. If I’m house sitting, I can also work from your home, so I’m able to spend plenty of time with your pets while you’re away. I’m also available on weekends! Your pet’s safety and routine are extremely important to me. I’ll follow your instructions closely, whether that’s feeding at a certain time, dietary restrictions, medications, exercise or house rules. I’m also very careful about what I give dogs and prefer safe, durable toys and healthy, usually single-ingredient treats (with your permission, of course!). I always check collars and harnesses before walks and adjust outdoor activities for extreme heat or cold. If anything ever seems wrong, I’ll contact you right away, keep you updated and follow your instructions for veterinary or emergency care. You can also expect regular photos and updates so you know your pet is happy and being well cared for. ❤️

Another wonderful visit from Daniela after my cat had just had surgery. She was very careful and ensured he received his pain meds on time as I had to go out of town for a night shortly after. She’s absolutely wonderful, I’m so happy I came across her profile last summer. She’s my go to for my little senior fur babies whenever they need a check in, or any time my pup needs a walk! Thanks again Daniela for a wonderful experience - my fur babies adore you!

About: I provide reliable, attentive care tailored to each pet’s needs. I currently look after a senior dog who requires scheduled pee breaks, support with mobility, and two easy going snuggly cats. My experience includes short-term and long stay with both mixed pet homes and single pet homes. Cat care included feeding schedules, litter cleaning, and plenty of lap time. I am comfortable with senior pets, pets with medical needs, and busy multi-pet households. I prioritize routine and attention to their wants. I work online with a deeply flexible schedule, I can interrupte what I do at any moment. Caring for your pets is my privilege and joy. When caring for pets in your home, I follow your routine exactly as you set it. I’m a long-time homeowner myself, and I treat your space with the same respect and care I expected in mine. Clear routines & structure • I follow your schedule for feeding, walks, medications, movement support, and bedtime routines. • I confirm details like coat/boot use, leash type, walk length, and whether your dog needs structured play or a run. • I maintain established routines between multiple pets, including safe feeding order and supervised interactions. Home safety & respect • No guests ever enter your home. • I am a quiet, low-impact presence. • Doors are locked, areas of the house you specify are avoided, and I follow your nighttime routine for pee breaks and house security. • I tidy as I go and leave your home as I found it. Pet-specific care details • I confirm treat limits, what behaviour they’re used for, and any food or item that must remain inaccessible. • I ask about any recent food changes, sensitivities, or mobility concerns. • I monitor subtle changes—energy, appetite, bathroom habits—and communicate anything noteworthy. Cleanliness & preparedness • I ask where cleaning supplies, vacuums, or mops are kept in case of spills or accidents. • Litter, food areas, water bowls, and pet spaces are kept clean and consistent. Communication & emergencies • I provide daily updates and will clarify any instruction necessary to ensure accuracy. • I follow your emergency plan, including your preferred veterinarian. • Cameras, alarms, or home-specific systems are respected exactly as directed. My goal is simple: your pets feel secure, your home is respected, and your instructions are followed with precision.

Another five-star booking with Jennifer. Marcy doesn’t love being left alone most of the time for a week, but with Jennifer, I know Marcy’s getting the best care she can possibly receive which is reassuring. The more Jennifer gets to know your pet, the better and better the photos get!

Piper has looked after our Maggie several times, and we always feel comfortable knowing she is in such caring and reliable hands. She genuinely cares about Maggie and is always offering to do extra things around the house. On our most recent trip, she checked on Maggie twice a day. On the last night, just as she was about to leave, our smoke detectors started going off. Even though we were not answering because I was away from my phone, Piper stayed well past her scheduled time and kept trying to reach us until we were able to connect and resolve the situation. We are so grateful for her patience, kindness, and dedication. We highly recommend Piper! ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐

Frequently asked questions about Rover

The average cost for Cat Sitting in Kitchener on Rover is $24.42 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 .

There are 624 sitters on Rover for Cat Sitting in Kitchener. About 93% of Kitchener sitters can respond to requests in under 60 minutes. Whether you’re planning ahead for holidays, need last-minute care, or need same-day coverage for an urgent trip, you can message multiple sitters at once to find available care.

Once you find the right match, you can arrange a Meet & Greet to ensure they are a perfect fit for your pet’s personality before confirming.

Yes, Rover is well-suited for finding sitters who can care for your pet within 24 hours. With 624 sitters in Kitchener, 93% respond to messages in under an hour.

You can message multiple sitters simultaneously to find the fastest available match. If you need care today or tomorrow, you can look for sitters with a "calendar last updated" notice on their profiles.

If you would like updates while you’re away, you can discuss with your sitter how many or how frequent you’d like those updates to be. The Rover app allows sitters to send photos, videos, and messages about your pet, including how many pee or poop breaks occurred. You can message your sitter at any time through the app and our support team is available 24/7 by email or chat if you have concerns.

The personalized, in-home nature of pet care through Rover can mean more individual attention for your pet.

Key handling is entirely up to you and your sitter to agree on during the Meet & Greet or in the Rover app. Most pet parents in Kitchener choose to hand over a spare key or digital fob in person, while others arrange a lockbox or unique access code. Don't forget to discuss key returns as well!

Every sitter on Rover is required to pass a background check before listing their services. This process confirms their identity and indicates they do not have any disqualifying offences.

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.

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.

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 administering medication or managing dietary requirements. On Rover:

  • 86% of sitters can help with special care needs
  • 98% can help with giving oral medications or injections
  • 95% 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.
