About: I’ve had cats my whole life and started pet sitting other people’s pets in high school. I’ve looked after all types of pets such as hermit crabs, rats, rabbits, cats, and dogs. Since then I’ve adopted two kitties of my own and I can’t wait to look after yours! I am happy to stop by for drop in visits before or after my shifts at work or on my days off, send me a message for more specific scheduling. I am very comfortable navigating your home to your needs. I am happy to follow any instruction given and will make sure your fur baby is happy and safely taken care of.
About: I've cared for pets for over 5 years and have experience with both dogs and cats of all ages and sizes. As a pet owner myself, I understand how important it is to provide loving, reliable care. I'm comfortable with feeding, walks, playtime, administering basic medications, and following specific routines to keep pets happy and comfortable while their owners are away. I'm a college student home for the summer with a flexible schedule and plenty of time to care for pets. I'm available for drop-in visits, walks, and pet sitting throughout the week and on most weekends. I always do my best to accommodate each pet's routine and needs. Your pet's safety and comfort are my top priorities. I carefully follow feeding schedules, medication instructions, and any special care requests. I treat every pet as if they were my own and provide updates so you can feel confident they're receiving attentive, reliable care while you're away.
“Repeat visit. Patrick is great. Will definitely be using him again. He is so good with our pup, sends pictures during the visit and he leaves a nice note at the end. Class act.”
“I was nervous about leaving my dog for the first time in his life. Monica was great. She reassured me everything was fine and sent photos and video of his visits. She even went above dog sitting and brought treats on her last day for both the dog and myself, cleaned up around the house and even brought in the house a very large package that was delivered on the wrong day so that it was secured. Monica is great and will be using her again when needed.”
“I cannot recommend Robin, our cat sitter highly enough. She was incredibly responsive and proactive, keeping me updated every day with thoughtful notes and photos. She went above and beyond normal care as needed for our particular situation. She gave Leonard so much love. We'll be forever grateful!”
“Sam was so fabulous with our shy girl! Sam was patient and our Mabel really seemed to warm up to her. Sam was detailed and we loved getting photos and videos. Highly recommend!”
“Allyson was an absolute lifesaver! When my regular sitter was on vacation, she stepped in and took amazing care of my YorkiePoo for 6 days. She came twice daily to walk and play with him, which was such a relief while I was working remotely. From the very first Meet & Greet, my pup was smitten—tail wagging nonstop and showering her with kisses! It’s clear she has a wonderful way with dogs. I couldn’t have asked for a better backup sitter and would highly recommend her to anyone!”
“Gwen always does a wonderful job with my little ones. It is hard to find sitters that small dog parents trust (we are a weird bunch). But I trust Gwen with my little crew. Also, we got a new puppy right before this visit and Gwen took it in stride and took care of all three.”
“Lanie was absolutely wonderful to my two cats! She was open to learning their schedule/feeding routine. I have a rescue cat who doesn't like most people and he jumped right in her lap! I'm so happy to have had Lanie while I was gone, and I hope she's available the next time I need to go out of town.”
“Fabulous! So kind and flexible in picking up the keys. Was very loving to my Daisy girl and gave her lots of love! I loved the report cards with lots of photos!”
“Ellen is great. She is very reliable and gives me piece of mind when I'm away from my pets. She does lots of extras also, like getting the mail and watering plants. Thanks Ellen!”
About: Hi! I have been taking care of dogs and cats my entire life. I have hands on, work experience at a dog hotel managing all breeds, sizes, and temperaments. I have pet sat for family, friends, and neighbors throughout my life with no issues. Personally, in my family we have had terriers, labs, and Irish wolfhounds. I love each and every dog like they are my own and provide only the best of care. I am experienced in handling medications and other medical needs as well. I am work by 2pm every week day which leaves me with afternoons/evenings free! I am also able to work weekends as it fits my schedule. I am experienced in handling dogs of all sizes and temperaments. I will work with you to do everything I can to keep your pet happy and calm as I take care of them.
“Brittany was amazing and Indy loved seeing her pull up to take her on walks. It was very helpful that she came over the day before to get acquainted with Indy and learn her eating routine. She was very communicative and sent pictures from each visit, which I adored. One of the days resulted in a shorter walk (bad weather), but she still took the time to hangout with my girl and keep her entertained. I will absolutely book Brittany again when I’m headed out of town!”
“Katie was an INCREDIBLE cat-sitter for my sweet girl Stevie! She always kept me well updated with how each visit went and I felt peace of mind knowing Stevie was in good hands. She was adaptable and patient when there was a hiccup with my apartment building and she was always consistently extremely kind and communicative. Would highly recommend Katie to anyone!”
About: Animals have always held a huge place in my heart! Since going to school in veterinary medicine, I’m experienced in caring for animals of all shapes and sizes. I love spending time with fur babies and giving owners peace of mind knowing they’re cared for. Extra Skills:: • Administering Oral Medications • Working with Senior Animals • Nail Trims (Dogs and Cats) • Anal Gland Expression (Dogs only) I’m currently working part time so I have flexibility! My goal is to have clients I develop a good relationship with. My top priority is that owners trust me and so do their fur babies! I feel it’s very important to give clients the peace of mind that their pet is going to get the care and attention they need! Exercise and enrichment is very important for pets and I enjoy being the one to give it to them.

I cannot recommend Robin, our cat sitter highly enough. She was incredibly responsive and proactive, keeping me updated every day with thoughtful notes and photos. She went above and beyond normal care as needed for our particular situation. She gave Leonard so much love. We'll be forever grateful!
Cannot recommend Samantha enough! For 1st time Rover users, we are SO appreciative of the care and loving she gave our kiddos! Book Sam if you want someone who is detail orientated, a quick communicator, reliable and willing to problem solve. Her thorough written check-ins and plenty of daily photos helped us feel at ease with leaving our pets at home knowing they had someone to care for and play with them! We hope to use Sam in the future 🤩
Lexus was absolutely fantastic with our cats! She kept our social cat entertained during her visits and engaged as much as possible with our shy cat too. She sent us lots of photos, so we felt better knowing our cats were happy while we were away! It’s great coming back to full food bowls, clean water bowls and clean litter boxes after a weekend away. We’ll definitely rebook next time we go out of town. Thank you, Lexus!!!
Brittany cared for my four cats while I was out of town for work, even last minute some days, and was SO accommodating! She not only took care of my boys, she also checked on my house while I was gone too. They fell in love with her and would leave her toys at the door everytime she came over ❤️ I would recommend Brittany for anyone needing their fur babies taken care of! She learned all their personalities, shared stories and pictures with me, and made me feel comfortable being away. 10/10!!

Frequently asked questions about Rover
The average cost for Cat Sitting in Chapel Hill on Rover is $15.54 per visit (as of August 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 August 2026, there are 1,285 sitters on Rover offering Cat Sitting across Chapel Hill. 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 Chapel Hill. On Rover:
- 91% of sitters can help with special care needs
- 94% can help with giving oral medications or injections
- 97% 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.
