“I was very happy having Kylie watch Eleos for me. My kitty doesn't always come out with new people and that was not the case with her. It made me feel relieved to have someone over that she felt comfortable with and that was able to give her the medications she needed. I will have more trips in the future and will gladly have Kylie take care of her for me!”
“Baylee was an amazing Daisy-sitter! 😻 By far the best I’ve had so far. She’s always prompt, keeps me updated about Daisy without me even needing to ask, and is very considerate about my home - always tidy and even going the extra mile. Truly couldn’t ask for better care! Thank you so much!”
“Mary and Olivia were just wonderful! They provided great updates/communication and it was such a blessing to go for an extended vacation and know our pups were comfortable at home in good hands. Would absolutely recommend them to anyone and will book them again!”
“Jean is wonderful! She is punctual, friendly, patient and an absolute delight to have taking care of our Reggie☺️ She also took excellent care of our home and spoiled our pup wonderfully while we were away. We look forward to booking her again soon!”

“Chelsea loves animals, and animals love Chelsea! Chelsea is an excellent house sitter, drop-in sitter, dog walker, pet care person of all stripes! We highly recommend her as safe and efficient. Our little dog simply loves her!”
“Barbara was fantastic! She did an amazing job taking care of our two dogs and aquarium. One of our dogs is very nervous around new people and by the end of Barbara's stay, the dog was comfortable with her. She provide updates daily and did not hesitate when any instructions were unclear. I will definitely book with Barbara again.”

“Erica was FANTASTIC with my boys!!! One of them was injured prior to the stay, but she followed all of my instructions to take care of him, took excellent care of my other dog, and was extremely respective of my home. I wouldn't hesitate to have her back. Thanks so much, Erica! My boys and I really appreciate you!”
“Tabitha took amazing care of our dog and left our house cleaned up. It gave us great peace of mind knowing that Moose was happy and safe. I truly appreciated the daily updates we got, and it was so nice coming home to a clean home. We will definitely be booking again in the near future.”
“Sam is so great with our fur babies!!! This dynamic duo can be a handful for someone less experienced, but to know them is to LOVE them and they truly take to Sam like she’s been part of this “pack” forever. She sent daily check-ins with pictures and left our home spic and span. We are so grateful we found her!”
“Brandy is always so kind and considerate, of us, Ace, and our home. We had a delayed flight and she stayed with our dog Ace way longer than originally planned. When we came home, very late, our house was spotless-Im talking dishes done and put away, laundry done and put away, floors and stairs vacuumed, sheets washed, dried, and bed made, and it smelled so good in the house! Brandy is a treasure for us, and we appreciate her more than I can express!”
“What a wonderful young woman Kaitlyn is, sweet, polite, and most of all great with dogs. She’s probably good with all animals we will certainly be using her in the future.”

“Your pets will love Lindsey. She plays with them, puts videos on for them, and even let's them cuddle up with her. For 2 weeks she cared for our home, 2 of our cats, 3 foster cats and domestic duck we feed at the pond across the street. She even greeted us at the door upon return and gave us the full report. This is so helpful. If you want, she will send pictures every day you are gone. We are so grateful for Lindsey's help when we head out of town.”
“We really appreciated the care that Kayln took looking after our cat and home. She was always super responsive during the booking process and provided us regular updates during the stay. It was really great to see that our little guy was comfortable around her and the house was well looked after.”

We’re so thankful for her and making us feel at ease for our whole trip.”

Pet parents share their Rover experiences - Cathcart
Diana is the best! From the moment our dog, Olive, met her, we felt an immediate ease with with leaving her with her for a week. We were nervous about being gone as we'd never been away from her for that long before. Olive just seemed to thrive in Diana's care. She sent us daily photos, videos and updates and we were able to actually relax and enjoy our vacation, knowing she was in good hands. We will absolutely have Diana care for her again and would recommend her to everyone! She will care for your fur babies as she would for her own, and that's the most anyone could ask for.

Frequently asked questions about Rover
The average cost for House Sitting in Cathcart on Rover is $34.33 per night (as of August 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 August 2026, there are 7,093 sitters on Rover offering House Sitting across Cathcart. 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 Cathcart 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 Cathcart 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 Cathcart 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.
