“Toni came and stayed at our house and watched our pup Manny. She was wonderful! We got daily updates and pictures. She took great care of Manny and our home! We highly recommend her! Thanks Toni!”


“Roxanne was amazing! My parents truly weren’t sure how we could go out of town and leave our 18 year old dog, as she’s just too old to be in kennels comfortably anymore. But Roxanne took amazing care of Jackie and sent us picture updates of her everyday we were gone for over a week. We’ll definitely be booking her again ?”
“Tonya was completely reliable in fulfilling what we had agreed upon for taking care of Sadie and Sammy and spending four days and nights with them. She has excellent experience and is sensitive and understanding about older pets, and people! She kept in touch with us daily and sent photos. I would not hesitate to ask Tony to return next time we need to go away.”

“Natalie did a fabulous job caring for our two big dogs while we were out of town. Her communication is awesome, she asks great questions, keeps us informed and updated on our boys, and left the house clean. We felt comfortable knowing she was there and will put her at the top of the list for rebooking the next time we travel. Our pups were happy and content. Thank you Natalie!”
“Baylee made leaving my pugs for the first time such a great experience. She communicated with me everyday and sent me photos. She was very sweet and took great care of my two very high energy pugs. 😊”

“Trisha was a great dog and house sitter. Our two young dogs were happy to see us come home but it was clear that they had been well taken care of. They ate well, which shows that they weren't stressed about our absence. They had obviously had a lot of attention. I recommend Trish wholeheartedly for anyone else. Karen”

About: Hi! My name is Kylee, and I’ve been around animals my entire life. I’ve owned and cared for many cats and dogs over the years, giving plenty of hands on experience with pets of different ages, sizes and personalities. I currently have 1 cat named Salem, who keeps life entertaining and reminds me everyday how important patience, love and good care are for our furry family members. I recently moved back from Florida after 10 years and I am excited to spend more time doing something I genuinely enjoy, caring for animals. Whether your pet loves playtime, walks, cuddles and or just having a calm and reliable companion around, I’ll make sure they feel safe, comfortable and loved while you’re away. I look forward to meeting you and your pets! ❤️ Pet care is already a part of my daily routine as a cat owner. Caring for Salem includes feeding, playtime, cleaning, and making sure he gets plenty of attention and affection. Adding pet care into my schedule comes naturally. I treat every pet like they’re my own by providing plenty of attention, playtime, exercise, fresh food and water, and sticking to their normal routine. My goal is to make them feel safe, comfortable, and loved while you’re away.
“Holly was fantastic with our animals (2 cats, a dog, and a pond)! While we were away on our 8 day trip she sent us some photos, which helped us know they were in good hands. And when we came back, they were only slightly perturbed at our absence, which is to be expected. Would totally have her watch our animals and house again!”


“Emily was amazing! She was so active and engaged with our dogs the entire time. You could tell she genuinely cared and made sure they were not only safe but also happy and comfortable while we were away. It’s such a relief to find someone who makes us feel at ease about leaving and makes our dogs feel right at home. We’ll absolutely be using her again in the future and would recommend her to anyone needing help with dog sitting or even fostering support. She’s a gem”

About: Animals are my entire life. I am a big softie, and I've taken care of them since I was a child! I've taken care of pets in my neighborhood, worked in shelters, and I'm ready to care for your fur children. I've worked with pets of all kinds of temperament! :) I only work part time, so I have plenty of time to take care of your pet's needs! My schedule is very flexible and ready to adapt to fit your needs. I have a fenced yard with no animals for home care. I have my own car as well with strong AC, ready to assist you wherever you are!
“Such a great sitter, updated me with photos and always made sure I was okay with something prior to. Loki loved dorian and took to her quite well, being hes a belgian and is prone to hyperness and anxiety that made a world of difference. Deff will be using dorian in the near future.”

“Bridgette kept my cat company for four days and did a great job. Simba is normally very aloof and leery of strangers but even when Bridgette came over to meet us before my trip he was quite comfortable with her. During the stay, from the photos and notes Bridgette sent me, I could see that he warmed up to Bridgette immediately. A huge bonus was that Bridgette watered a few of my house plants and left my house exactly as I’d left it. The next time I travel I hope Bridgette will be available!”

“From Anika's first stroking of my cat's fur during our meet and greet, I could see that he felt comfortable with her. It was comforting to know that he would let her provide the love and cuddles we wouldn't be home to give him. Thank you, Anika for taking good care of our senior cat!”


“This was our first time needing a sitter for our 2 pups and our very 1st time using Rover. Because our 9mo old puppies are VERY BIG (Great Dane / English Mastiff) and super high energy, we originally were planning on booking them separately so they wouldn't be so hard to manage to someone who has never been around them. Jacob had mentioned he has experience with high energy dogs and having the 2 would not be a problem. We did a meet and greet and my puppies, as BIG as they are with all the high puppy energy, once again assured me he is comfortable watching the two of them if we wanted to keep them together. Jacob was very accommodating through the entire process of us booking. We had to make a change from boarding to housesitting right before our trip. He was 100% willing to make whatever changes we asked and made the process so easy. We were so appreciative of all the updates and pictures throughout the weekend. My husband and I were able to enjoy our sons wedding and had no worries about our puppies. Upon arriving home it felt so good to walk in and the house be as clean as we left it. Thank you Jacob for putting our worries at ease while housesitting and caring for Loki and Layu. Highly recommend and will be using him every time.”

About: What sets me apart from other sitters is that caring for animals has always been a normal part of my life. I grew up around animals and have experience caring for dogs of many ages and personalities, including energetic puppies and older dogs who need a slower pace and extra attention. I'm comfortable with the routines that come with good pet care: consistent feeding schedules, exercise, basic training reinforcement, and paying attention to changes in behavior that might mean a dog needs something. I have experience helping with puppy training basics life patience during walks, reinforcing commands, and keeping them mentally stimulated. I also understand that senior dogs sometimes need gentler exercise, more frequent bathroom breaks, and extra patience. In addition to dogs, I have experience working with animals in a farm environment, which taught me responsibility, consistency, and how important it is to pay attention to an animal's needs and body language. Because of that background, I'm calm, reliable, and comfortable around animals with different temperaments. Most importantly, I treat every pet like they're my own. I know how much trust it takes to leave your animal with someone else, and I take that responsibility seriously. Pet care has always been a natural part of my daily life. I grew up around animals and have experience caring for dogs of all ages, from energetic puppies to older dogs who need a slower pace and extra attention. I enjoy spending time outdoors walking dogs, playing with them, and making sure they feel comfortable and cared for while their owners are away. As a college student, I plan my schedule carefully, which allows me to stay organized and consistent with feeding times, walks, and check-ins. I genuinely enjoy being around animals, and spending time with them is something I look forward to throughout the week. Safety and trust are my top priorities when caring for pets. I make sure pets are always supervised, comfortable, and kept in a calm environment where they feel secure. In a client's home, I carefully follow the pet's normal routine for feeding, walks, medications, and playtime so they experience as little disruption as possible. I also pay close attention to behavior and body language to make sure pets are feeling safe and happy. I respect my clients' homes and keep spaces clean, secure doors and gates, and communicate regularly with updates and photos so owners can feel confident their pets are being well cared for.
“Aeries did really good watching over my dog and 2 cats. I will definitely be bringing her back next time I leave. She was very attentive and gave me updates (pictures) daily. 💚 Really great service!”

“Jordan watched our fur babies in our home for 11 days. She did an amazing job. The babies were well taken care of as was our home. She returned the home to ready status by doing the bed laundry and leaving no trace. But, the most important was the care and love our wee ones received. I can tell they took to her and were comfortable and at peace while we were away. Knowing that brought great comfort. Thank you Jordan. We really appreciate you.”

Kenzie did a wonderful job house/pet sitting for me. My dog is very precious to me and I am highly selective about who watches her when I am out of town. Kenzie was professional and communicative prior to the stay and throughout my trip. She sent regular updates and provided true peace of mind that my Rottweiler was being taken care of while I was away. She was also very respectful of my home. I would highly recommend!!

Frequently asked questions about Rover
The average cost for House Sitting in Cathan on Rover is $47.08 per night (as of July 2026). However, all sitters set their own rates based on experience, location, and availability.
Rover makes budgeting the cost of House 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 House Sitting. For more information on service fees, click here .
As of July 2026, there are 5,841 sitters on Rover offering House Sitting across Cathan. Enter your ZIP code to see which available sitters are closest to your home.
Beyond belly rubs and feeding schedules, a house sitter’s presence may provide an additional layer of security for your home. However, you will need to arrange overnight stays and other household tasks with your sitter when reaching out to them. Not all sitters offer the same services. Common household tasks you can negotiate include:
- Mail & deliveries: Collecting letters and packages so they don't pile up.
- Plant care: Keeping your indoor or outdoor garden hydrated.
- Trash & recycling: Taking trash cans to the curb on scheduled pickup days.
- Home security: Sitters can stay overnight to keep your home occupied.
The best way to align on expectations is during your free Meet & Greet. Use this time to provide a "home cheat sheet" that includes your preferred Cathan walking routes, the location of your favorite pet store, and any specific quirks about your home’s security or appliances.
It’s helpful to think of house sitting as a "home base" service. Most sitters in Cathan maintain their normal daily routines, like running errands or heading to the office, meaning your pet should be comfortable being alone for a few hours at a time. If your pet needs a little extra company, here is how to find the perfect match:
- Look for "WFH" sitters: Many sitters mention "Work from Home" on their profile to indicate they’ll be present for the majority of the day.
- Update your pet’s profile: Write down how long your pet can comfortably be left alone. This helps sitters quickly determine if their schedule aligns with your needs.
- Communicate 24/7 needs: Standard house sitting usually doesn't include constant supervision. If your pet requires round-the-clock care, be sure to discuss this upfront.
Tip: Use the Meet & Greet to confirm a sitter's typical "away" windows. Transparency ensures your pet stays happy and your sitter can plan their day effectively!
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 Cathan 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!
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.
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 .
If a health concern arises during a stay, your sitter is instructed to contact you and our Trust & Safety team immediately and, if needed, take your pet to the closest veterinarian. Through our Trust & Safety support team, sitters can ask for diagnostic advice from a qualified veterinary professional if your pet is showing signs of possible illness.
For extra peace of mind, you can also prepare an authorization form for your regular vet. An authorization form outlines your preferred method of care and allows your sitter to bring your pet into their regular clinic.
Every qualified booking made on Rover is backed by the Rover Guarantee, which includes reimbursement for eligible emergency vet care.
A Meet & Greet is a short introductory meeting between you, your pet, 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.
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.
