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.
“Bailey is amazing. Stayed in touch the entire week and Socks loved spending time with her playing in the garden. Loved the photos! Definitely going to be our go to dog sitter”
“Meaghan was extremely attentive to my cats behavior and needs, and was extremely responsive and communicative via the Rover app. I truly appreciated her thoroughness, care and love she gave my kitties!”
About: I have always felt very connected to animals. You will find me petting and playing with my friend’s animals at any house party. I have two elderly dogs that I have raised since very young. Navigating different life stages and adapting to changing needs in aging and sick animals is something I am well experienced in. For example my older dog has developed much anxiety around other dogs and I restrict any situations that might cause him discomfort, he also gets an assortment of meds daily including intramuscular injections. The care that I give to animals is fear-free, fun, and loving. I am comfortable walking dogs that may be fearful of other dogs or have high prey drives and am good at using distraction tools to motivate and keep them safe. Thank you for considering me to be a caregiver for your furry loved ones! I am a full time graduate student with a fairly flexible schedule. I’m from Minneapolis and traveling with my aging dogs has been harder as they’ve gotten older so I am almost always home on holidays and can make last minute drop ins work. Pets in my home are safe. I keep all food, chemicals, paper, and used underwear (I can’t be the only one haha) out of reach. My house is my dogs house and I frequently find them sleeping in my bed, on the couch, or on the bathroom floor when it’s storming. I’m comfortable cleaning up accidents and giving baths. I will happily adapt to any rules that you may have in your home.
“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.”
“Ria was a life saver! My original pet sitter dropped out on me last minute, and Ria was able to help me out at the buzzer. She took excellent care of my two dogs. I am so grateful for her!”
“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!”
“Samantha did a great job watching my cat Mister. I super appreciated her spending time with him, sending me pictures and taking care of my flowers while I was gone. I'll definitely be booking her again. Thanks Samantha!”
“Rosa dropped in and walked my anxious dog during the day while I was out of town. She sent detailed updates after each drop in, which eased my mind as I was far from home. She followed all instructions perfectly. I would absolutely reach out to Rosa again in the future.”
About: I have experience training my crazy puppy into a certified therapy dog. I will be as strict or relaxed as you want me to be with your dogs. I know that having their normal schedule and structure is important along with lots of love. I work online and I will have plenty of time to work with your dogs. I love taking dogs on walks or lounging on the couch with them. I can be present for your dogs! I will insure they have plenty of time to exercise. I can walk them with my therapy dog or have them play if you are comfortable with this. I love taking dogs on walks. I love going to the park too. My home is safe for dogs and I will respect your house and make sure the dog has a good time when you are away.
“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!”
“Autumn was fabulous! She took great care of our shy cat and sent many photos that my daughter appreciated very much! We recommend her highly and hope to have her catsit for us again!”
“Allison was amazing with my boys. She sent very thorough summaries of what they did during her visit. She also went out of her way in her care, cleaning more often than I asked. Overall she was wonderful and I will definitely be requesting her help again in the future.”
“Dafna arrived on time every day and was easy and pleasant to communicate with. She followed my instructions and made an effort to interact with my sometimes skittish kitties! I will definitely rebook in the future.”
“Kelly was absolutely amazing! She was warm, professional, and clearly passionate about animals. She took such great care of my pet, treating them like her own. Throughout the stay, Kelly kept me updated with messages, photos, and thoughtful check-ins that really put my mind at ease. My pet was happy, relaxed, and clearly loved being with her. When I came home, everything was spotless and my pet was calm and content. You can tell Kelly truly cares—she goes above and beyond. I can’t recommend her enough and will definitely be booking with her again!”
About: Hi! I’m a lifelong animal lover with over 12 years of hands-on experience caring for my parents’ pets, including their 17-year-old cat and previous golden retriever (🥲). I also have additional pet sitting experience for dogs and cats, and I’m comfortable with pets of all ages—from energetic puppies to senior animals who need a gentler pace. I’m currently living in Boston for the summer and have a flexible schedule for walks, drop-in visits, and attentive care. I’m active, responsible, and genuinely enjoy getting outside for daily walks and spending quality time with animals. I treat every pet like my own and prioritize comfort, safety, and consistent communication with owners, including photo updates after each visit. I am currently in between dental school & orthodontic residency, so my schedule for July is wide open! I am flexible and willing to care for your pets any day of the week. I give all pets the love and affection they deserve. I am respectful of others’ spaces and treat each pet like they are my own.
The median cost per visit for cat sitting in Chapel Hill is $20
Cat parents share their Rover experiences - Chapel Hill
Meaghan was amazing - I made a scheduling mistake with my initial booking and Meaghan was responsive and incredibly helpful when she discovered it. Everyone was happy and well cared for when we got home. I was a first-time Rover user with this booking and I'll be looking for Meaghan every time now.
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!)
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.
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!
Maren was just wonderful!! She took perfect care of my cat, Sophie, who is now demanding more love from her mom after all the love that Maren gave her, lol! This was my first time using Maren as a sitter and as long as she stays in the pet-sitting business, I will never use anyone else. Thank you, Maren!
Jacob was FANTASTIC! He was proactive, attentive, communicated clearly and made sure our senior kitty had all of her medical needs met while we were away. He left everything neat and tidy, and even brought packages that got delivered inside for us. I could not be happier, and will definitely reach out if we need a kitty sitter again in the future.
Tab did a great job! They have previous experience with rabbits which is a plus and gave me peace of mind. My rabbits are usually very shy and do not like new people entering their space so it was good to see photos of them relaxed and accepting treats. Would definitely book again!

Frequently asked questions about Rover
The average cost for Cat Sitting in Chapel Hill on Rover is $19.98 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 2,547 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.

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.
