“Bailey is a super sitter for sure! On first meet she came ahead of time to ensure our pup was familiar with her and she knew where everything was. She’s amazing with our Rottie, who’s a huge gentle giant that demands lots of love and kisses. She took him to play consistently and ensured he had everything he needed while we were gone. Very mindful and kind sitter. Would absolutely recommend.”
About: Growing up, I was always surrounded by dogs. Whether it be family, friends, or neighbors, there was always a pet nearby for me to visit, care for, or walk. Even in my household, I can't remember a time where there wasn't a dog running around. In addition, I've volunteered numerous times in dog shelters---caring for the less fortunate animals in our towns and giving them the love they deserve. This has shaped a lot of who I am and has made me into the animal lover I am today. I know the ins and outs of dog behavior, have dabbled in puppy training, and am accustomed to senior dog care. I look forward to getting to meet each of your furry friends! I am currently a full time student, my daily schedule is built around my classes. However, I have multiple gaps in the day and am readily available to help throughout the day for walks or check ins. I am flexible with talking about schedules and can work with anything! I am very attentive to what each pet needs and will adhere to what you know best about your home. I am comfortable crating dogs, taking them out for walks often if a yard isn't available, and even just caring for them inside. I don't have a house that allows taking in pets but I can care in the best way for your house.
“She was amazing. I was stressed prior to leaving on our trip since we would be out of the country and we had just had a tree fall on the house. She reassured me every day that my fur baby was doing well by notes and lots of pictures. I have to say that she really is a great cat person and that comes from my kitty who does not do well with strangers. Aspen took the time to love her and to even brush her which made my day as well as my kitty's. Will use again.”
“Samantha was great. Came on time to each visit and stayed with Mabel the whole time. She gave Mabel lots of cuddles and got her energy out. She was flexible and easy to reach.”
“Abigail was a wonderful friend to our old (dog) man Oaks while we were traveling. Dependable, communicative, and took great care of our buddy. We would be lucky to have her as a pet sitter again!”
“Betsy is great! Very reliable with good communication. She went above and beyond making sure the house temperature was comfortable when our A/C went out and retrieving our cat when he slipped out. I will definitely hire her again.”
“Emilia was great with chowder! She was on time and very prompt and followed all the instructions I gave her! We will definitely be booking with her again and she was great and very reliable.”
About: I grew up surrounded by dogs, including my family's two adorable King Charles Spaniels, which sparked my lifelong love for animals. Because my own pups were prone to health issues, I am incredibly patient and experienced in administering medication and providing attentive care. I dog-sit for friends and family, managing everything from feeding schedules to playtime. I regularly visit the Orange County Animal Shelter to take shelter dogs out through their Dog’s Day Out program, giving me experience with a wide variety of breeds, temperaments, and energy levels. Whether your pup needs a high-energy playdate, a patient hand for medication, or just some quality couch cuddles, I’m excited to welcome them with open arms! Please reach out with any questions about dates and times and I will get back to you as soon as I can. Generally, I am available Monday, Wednesday, and Friday through Sunday after 10am not available Tuesday or Thursday. When caring for your pup, my top priorities are making them feel completely safe and loved. Whether staying in a cozy home environment or exploring the beautiful Chapel Hill greenways and trails, I tailor every day to your dog's specific energy levels and physical needs. I treat every home with the utmost respect and ensure you receive frequent, sweet photo updates of our adventures.
About: I've been pet sitting for neighbors, friends, and family since I was 16 and have been around dogs my entire life. I have experience caring for dogs, cats, and other pets of all ages and personalities. I have volunteered with animal rescues since I was 12, fostered numerous dogs and cats, and am comfortable providing basic medical care, including oral medications, eye drops, injections, and subcutaneous fluids when needed. I treat every pet like my own and focus on keeping them happy, safe, and comfortable while you're away. Whether your pet needs lots of playtime, extra patience, or specialized care, I'm dependable, attentive, and genuinely love spending time with animals. I'm currently taking online classes during the summer, which gives me a flexible schedule to care for your pets. In the fall I will be returning to in person classes, however my schedule will still allow me to be a reliable care giver for your pets and satisfy all of their needs! I understand that trusting someone with your pets and home is a big decision. I treat every home with respect and follow your pets routine as closely as possible to help them feel comfortable while you're away. I am experienced in administering oral medications, eye drops, some injections, and fluids when needed. Whether your pet loves to play, needs extra patience, or requires special care, I'll provide reliable, attentive care and keep you updated with photos and messages throughout each visit.
“Alissa was amazing!! She was very attentive and gave lots of updates on our two cats. She sent lots of photos and information about them each day. She even did extra things we didn’t ask. She was overall wonderful and I couldn’t have asked for better! Would 100% hire her again!”
About: Hi! My name is Mack, and I’m a chemist in the RTP area with a lifelong love of critters! I grew up caring for dogs and cats and love to spoil and pamper them. I have experience caring for pups of all personalities and ages, including senior dogs with medical needs. I am also experienced with fish and other aquatic critters, as well as birds! I understand that every pet has their own unique routine, personality, and needs, and I’m committed to making sure they feel safe, comfortable, and loved while they’re in my care. I especially enjoy working with medium-sized and large dogs and love getting to know each pup as an individual. Whether your dog needs a walk, some extra companionship, or care while you’re away, I’d love the opportunity to help! DISCOUNT- I offer a discounted rate for house sitting during the day without overnight stays (typically 8am to 8pm). If this is of interest to you, reach out and I’ll offer the discounted rate! I am an early riser and can best help with early morning and afternoon pet care! My schedule is flexible and I can accommodate a variety of scheduling needs and pet care styles. For house sitting bookings, I am committed to leaving your home clean and showing your home the care and respect it deserves! This includes keeping your pets safe and comfortable in their home, staying on their schedules, and cleaning up.
“Kelly was great with my dog Potter! She’s very professional and attentive to details, she took great care of my dog’s needs and he looked so happy in the pictures she shared. 10/10 would recommend Kelly and she’s now my got to sitter in the Carrboro area.”
“Natalie was GREAT!! Our cats LOVED her, probably more than they like us even! She was able to coax our very curmudgeonly elderly cat out from her hiding place and interact with her on each of the home visits! Natalie took great photos and shared pertinent and expansive notes about her home visits, too, which put us at ease as we vacationed. Would definitely book again! (Oh, and she brought in our delivered packages while we were away, without prompting, which was much appreciated!)”
“Autumn is the best! She’s watched our cat twice this year for week long vacations. She’s attentive, creative and a great communicator. She sends pix every day, which delights my daughter. We are grateful to her and hope to work with her again!”
“We couldn’t be happier with Ashlyn! She was incredibly kind, caring, and dependable, and it was clear from the beginning that she genuinely loves animals. She took wonderful care of our cats, kept us updated while we were away, and gave us complete peace of mind knowing our furry family members were in such good hands. She was attentive to all the little details and went above and beyond to make sure our cats were happy, comfortable, and well cared for. We came home to happy, relaxed cats and everything in perfect order. We would absolutely recommend her to anyone looking for a trustworthy, responsible, and compassionate cat sitter. We will definitely be asking her to care for our cats again! I could tell that they bonded well with her because they were looking for playtime and brushings immediately when we returned (even more than usual)!”
“I can always count on Abigail for caring for my cats with such detail and kindness. My cats absolutely love her. She’s always dependable and amazing with animals. I love booking her when I’m out of town. She is my go to!”

Meaghan was a wonderful sitter! She’s great with cats, and our kitties liked her right away. On top of that, she was communicative, friendly, and took special care to make sure our boys received lots of love and attention even though we were away. I’d highly recommend her as a sitter, and happily hire her again.
Five stars honestly aren’t enough to express how dedicated Dana was to caring for my cat. My cat is extremely shy and usually takes a long time to warm up to people, but Dana managed to win his trust and create a comfortable, reassuring environment for him in such a limited amount of time. Her daily reports were incredibly detailed and kept me well informed about how my cat was doing each day. She also sent lots of wonderful photos and even adorable videos, which meant so much to me while I was away. She was very thorough with his food, water, and litter box care, and she was always punctual. Dana is an incredibly trustworthy and caring pet sitter. I truly couldn’t have asked for anyone better, and I would wholeheartedly recommend her to anyone looking for someone to take exceptional care of their pet.
Ria did a great job taking care of Stormy. she handled all the feeding and enrichment tasks perfectly. She was able to quickly establish a good rapport with Stormy, which makes all the difference in the world. She was punctual and sent me session reports and photos after each visit. I highly recommend Ria for any cat-sitting task. Her approach is friendly, thoughtful, and professional.
Absolutely above and beyond! We booked last minute as our neighborhood sitter had to travel. Rosa was so attentive and communicative and always kept us updated. She sent amazing photos and gave great report cards. I feel like we got a bargain as she did SO much more than we were expecting and even helped us out in areas we had been ignoring ourselves (like cat vomit under the bed). She is truly a star of this app and we can’t wait to work with her again!
Samantha was very responsible and communicative. She documented her visits with my cat and, according to the pictures she sent me, my ktty looked very happy. Sam also gave my cats her meds and reported on her condition and behavior. This was very comforting since I am currently traveling. I warmly recommend Samantha.
Natalie was GREAT!! Our cats LOVED her, probably more than they like us even! She was able to coax our very curmudgeonly elderly cat out from her hiding place and interact with her on each of the home visits! Natalie took great photos and shared pertinent and expansive notes about her home visits, too, which put us at ease as we vacationed. Would definitely book again! (Oh, and she brought in our delivered packages while we were away, without prompting, which was much appreciated!)
Andrew is an above and beyond pet sitter, kind, communicative, pays close attention to instructions. I always feel very safe leaving my bunnies in his care. And over my most recent trip, he even helped with an injured deer on my property. Highly recommend this thoughtful, wonderful human being for your pet care needs!

Frequently asked questions about Rover
The average cost for Cat Sitting in Chapel Hill on Rover is $21.09 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 .
As of September 2026, there are 2,559 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:

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.
