“Alaina was amazing with my cat, Bitty! She was quick to respond and very thorough in making sure she understood all of Bitty’s needs. She sent great pictures and kept me updated on her visits, which gave me so much peace of mind. 10/10 would absolutely recommend her!”
About: I was raised around animals my whole life and I absolutely love any and all animals. I have years of experience with dogs/cats, I also have a pet pig! I would love to care for your furry friends! I work in a hospital and my schedule is 8-5 Monday-Friday. I have free evenings/weekends and would absolutely love to spend that time caring for your pets! I have one female dog who is a little over a year old. She is super playful and friendly and would make a great playmate if needed! I have plenty of toys and treats for any animals and a crate as well.
“Amanda watched my three cats for a week and left me totally confident that they were in great hands! Not only did she take great care of them, she really helped my new kitten who is shy around people come out of her shell. As an added bonus, the pictures she took are probably some of the best pictures I have of my cats! Beyond a shadow of a doubt, I would hire her again in a heartbeat.”
“It was my first time to hire Jessi and I was happy to have entrusted my kitties to her. She came on time, followed my instructions and replied quickly. My kitties warmed up to her, she sent me updates and photos. Will definitely keep her for the future.”
About: I have 6 years of pet care experience and worked as a kennel technician for 4 years, where I cared for dogs and cats of all sizes, breeds, ages, and temperaments. My daily responsibilities included feeding, cleaning, administering medication, and providing walks, playtimes, and enrichment. Working in a professional kennel setting taught me how to safely handle multiple pets at once, keep pets comfortable in new environments, and tailor care to each pet's individual needs. As a junior biology major at Clemson with a goal of working in the healthcare field, I am especially attentive to safety and routines. I am very organized and super accommodating, and I will truly treat each pet like my very own! I am currently a student at Clemson with a part-time job, but I truly value schedule and routine. With my past experience in pet sitting and working as a kennel technician, I am very used to coordinating feeding times, walks, and medication times with my own schedule. I always prioritize the care of my pets, and make sure they receive the necessary attention, updates, and care while your away. I am happy to provide drop-ins, walks, and visits during the weekdays around my class schedule, and can provide extended time on weekends! In your home, I will be sure to follow instructions closely for necessary feeding, medication, walks, and routines. I am highly detail-oriented, and attentive to keeping areas clean and organized. I will be sure to respect your space, keep things tidy, and provide regular updates and photos so you feel at ease while you're away!
“Emily was so helpful and attentive to Gunters needs! I loved getting updates daily, she took the sweetest pictures of my kitty. Towards the end of my trip, Gunter unfortunately contracted a uti. Thanks to Emily texting me and keeping me updated, I was able to book a vet appointment for as soon as I could so that he could get treated. I could not recommend her more!”
About: Hello, My name is Tracey and I have grown up with pets my whole life. We had cats in my house as early as I can remember and I have always had a soft spot for them. When I was young I actually used to be a bit afraid of dogs until my two siblings begged and begged my mom to her wits end. She told me to pluck up and a few days later we came home with a sweet old black Pomeranian. Basil and I bonded like no other. From then I always helped pet care for my own family and for our neighbors. As well, one my siblings forayed into less common pet ownership, where I got to learn the basics of care for Guinea pigs, rats, lizards (hers had scoliosis), and even small snakes! Currently, I have one pet of my own - a sweet little three-legged cat who can charm his way into anyone’s heart. I have a lot of love to give for animals and want to help care for your pet like I hope someone would care for mine while I am gone! I am available any time of the day, any day of the week to help take care of your precious furry family! I have car for reliable transportation and can drive to any location for the job opportunity open. Currently I have an indoor cat and he does not go outside but has a litter box and more than enough toys to make him happy. With dogs I make sure that they are harness or on a lead before we go outside since I do not have a closed in front yard. If the pet I am sitting lives in a space with a fenced in yard I would let them out at the owners permission and make sure they were supervised. I also make sure not to let pets eat human food as many things are harmful and/or then could have allergies.
“This was our family's first time having a dog sitter, Reagan kept us well inform with updates and plenty of pictures that helped keep our mind at ease. She was there in the morning to give them breakfast, played fetch with them on as often as the weather aloud,and was very patient and kind with both the dogs and us.”
“Courtney is always OUTSTANDING and flexible. I had some last minute changes due to family sickness and she was quick to adjust. I always have a peace of mind after booking with Courtney!!!”
About: I've run a dog rescue that placed 1000+ dogs in new homes in 3 years, worked as a live-in animal care taker at a dog and cat boarding facility, and trained several service dogs for a national service dog organization. I've had dogs and cats of my own for over 20 years, and am often the person's friends and family call when they have a dog/cat question instead of google. I've seen and done it all, which means I know how to manage a wide variety of dogs and cats (and more) with all their personalities and quirks. I work full time, but with pretty flexible hours with enough heads-up. I have dogs and cats of my own, so I already have an easy routine of caring for them and it's quite easy to add another. I move my work schedule around to maximize the best times for hikes/outside time for the dogs depending on the weather. I try to take at least one of my dogs for hikes at the Clemson Experimental Forest 2-3x a week. I have a fenced yard with a small (fully enclosed and secure) chicken run. Any visiting dogs would have supervised time to play in the yard or the fenced back deck several times a day. I have 3 friendly dogs who would love to play or just hang out, or can be kept fully separate from any visitor if the visitor needs their space. They are used to mixing or staying separate from any visiting dogs/cats. I also have two cats who are dog friendly, or remain completely upstairs to themselves if any visitors aren't cat friendly. Visiting pets are setup in my home office with a crate of their own (if needed), plenty of windows, and room to play or bed to nap on.
About: I've always grown up around cats and dogs, but when I moved to Minnesota I don't get to be around pets as often, so I look forward to the opportunity of meeting you and your dog. I am very active and enjoy jogging as well. I work full time as a Real Estate Agent but try to keep my schedule flexible. My aunt is a vet so I would often go into her clinic and visit the animals there, I would also take my family member's dogs for walks all the time. Animals bring joy to my life and I know that having a dog in the city can be difficult, that's why I am here to help as much as I can to take your dog for a walk! I work from home so I can make just about anytime work before 6pm that is! Let me work around your s ch exile to make sure your pet gets the care it needs! Every pet is different, and I feel that matching their energy is very important. First I get their trust and show that I am a safe and kind person before the fun begins!
About: I have a Bachelor's degree in Zoology, and Associates degree in Science and have cared for other peoples pets since I was 17 (August, 3 2026 I'll be 22) besides caring for my parents dogs and cats. I have expireance with special care needs like diabetic pets who need to be given insulin shots, elderly dogs with oral pills they would rather not take, and bouncing puppies who need to let out alot of energy. I also have owned many animals since I was little with minimal parental help. These animals include dogs, cats, snakes, mice, rats, fish, birds, spiders, and frogs. I have experience in highschool vet care and college lab and field experience in herpetology, ornithology, and ictheology. Your fur babies will love spending their time with me when you can't be there. I just graduated college and would love to make money doing somthing I'm good at; careing for animals. Since I just graduated and don't have another job currently I'm free at most times and would love to be of service to you. I will give my undivided attention to make sure your animal is happy and well cared for. I can take your dog to the dog park, and if you want I can bring my dog over for them to play. Dog/cat's needs and feed schedules can be precise. When I was caring for my aunts Diabetic cat I had to feed half of a 1/4 cup give him his insulin shot then feed the other half, this had to happen at 6am and 6pm exactly. The shot had to go into his opposite hip every time (left morning, right afternoon). I hope to offer your pet similarly the best care imaginable.
“Shirley does such a wonderful job taking care of my cat while I'm out of town. I've booked her for multiple times; every time, she followed all my instructions perfectly and sent me lots of great photos for each drop-in visit.”
“Kenna is absolutely amazing. Always on time and goes far beyond the call of duty and exceeded my already high expectations for her and Rover. I will certainly be using her again and again for ALL my needs with my best buddy, Hunley!”
“Very lovely person and could not have been a bigger help than she was! I needed a sitter last minute and I'm very thankful that Alyssa was available during that time. My cat, Ami, was well taken care of and happy.”

Thank you, Amethyst, for taking care of our "sometimes nice/a bit feral" Momma Kitty! You again surpassed your duties and we appreciate that! We were able to relax on our mini vacation because we knew MK was being cared for. We received pictures and videos daily of our furball😊❤️
Jessi was amazing with both of our cats! Harvey clearly enjoyed her attention and our scaredy-cat Amelia came out to see Jessi which she has never done with a stranger before! I really appreciate how punctual Jessi was and all of the pictures she sent. We will absolutely be booking Jessi again!

Frequently asked questions about Rover
The average cost for Cat Sitting in Central on Rover is $19.98 per visit (as of July 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 .
As of July 2026, there are 743 sitters on Rover offering Cat Sitting across Central. 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 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 with handling special pet needs in Central. On Rover:
- 95% of sitters can help with special care needs
- 96% can help with giving oral medications or injections
- 96% 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 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.
