“Ginger took incredible care of my cats, sending me tons of pictures and information during each visit. I could confidently trust that my babies were cared for, socialized, and fed. I will definitely be asking Ginger to cat sit next time I go on a trip :)”
About: I grew up having cats as pets. I’ve wanted to get my own since moving down to NC. Unfortunately that’s not in the cards for me right now but I love helping my friends with their cats! I’m now the first choice when my friends need someone to watch their pet. I’ve boarded cats at my apartment and done drop-in visits. I’m a cat person through and through and I thoroughly enjoy spending time with my friends’ cats (and I’m always glad that I can help them out!). I’m available for drop-in visits in the evenings and on the weekends. I take the bus to work and work from 8am - 4pm, but I might be able to drop in before work as well. I am very in tune with cats’ emotions and am very aware and respectful of their boundaries. While I love cuddling and playing with cats that are open to that, I’m happy to let them dictate the interactions we have. I’ve taken care of cats that are shy and totally understand the need to take things slowly and give them their space.
About: I’ve been pet sitting since I was 14 and love animals of all kind! I am organized, patient with all pets, and will give extra love to your animals. I’ve worked with both puppies, senior dogs, and in-between. I’ll make sure your dogs’ needs are addressed whether it’s long walks, spending quality time with them, or giving them extra cuddles. I am currently a full-time student but would love to take care of your pets between my classes or on weekends. If your pet has specific time requirements I'm happy to discuss the details of my availability! I am not able to keep pets in my own home but I can take care of yours. I don’t mind staying overnight if desired!
“Elizabeth took excellent care of my animals, and managed to catch some truly extraordinary photos of them as well. I knew they were safe and cared for. I would absolutely use her services again!”
“Whenever we leave town we always go to rover. To find Diana as a pet sitter. She does a wonderful job with our three cats which are very very shy. You couldn't rate Diana high enough on the scale of 1 to 5 because she is fabulous with the cats”
“Garrett was GREAT! I was a little nervous about leaving our cat alone to be checked on, but trust the reviews! Garrett is attentive and shows an immense amount of care for our cat. He sent daily photos and notes keeping us updated on how Kiro was doing. I would recommend him to anyone and definitely ask for him again in the future. Thank you!”
“Emily was absolutely exceptional! She took phenomenal care of Arya, going above and beyond to make sure she felt comfortable, happy, and well cared for. Her visit updates were wonderfully detailed, and the photos she sent were an absolute highlight of our day. Knowing Arya was in such attentive and loving hands gave us complete peace of mind. We couldn't ask for a better sitter and will definitely be booking Emily 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.”
“Lauren was a fantastic sitter who gave us great updates on our furbaby while we were out of town along with sweet photos letting us know he was in good hands. We have an older cat who requires quite a bit of social time during his visits and Lauren was always willing to give him the attention he demands. Highly recommend!”
“Suzanne was phenomenal with my dog and took great care of him during visits while I was out of town. Walks, belly rubs, and play time, she sent detailed updates and ensured he was well taken care of.”
“Julie is the best sitter we have ever had. She took wonderful care of our 3 cats when my partner and I were in Iceland. She provided such tender and patient care for each cat, especially my senior cat with complex medical needs. She even went the extra mile to bring new food from home when my senior didn’t have much of an appetite. I will absolutely be booking Julie again in the future. She is a real gem!”
About: I’m currently semi-retired and have a lot of flexibility in my weekly schedule to provide care for cats and can arrange pet visits to accommodate your pets. I can give medication if needed and lots of cuddles and playtime. I have a quiet cat friendly home with lots of pet toys and cozy spots with windows for my indoor only cat to watch from. Occasionally he likes to watch “cat tv” on you tube. He also enjoys hunting and chasing special cat toys and lights.
About: I have learned about puppy and dog care through the adoption of two of my own, and have cared for numerous others over the years. I have raised puppies, cared for puppies, and cared for dogs of all ages and sizes. Our 4 year old little dog also loves meeting new friends if your dog is social. I look forward to meeting you and your fur babies soon! If I'm not caring for my human child or my pets or someone else's, I am usually available, and looking forward to caring for your fur babies! I am available for housesits and have lots of local experience. I can take your dogs on walks, feed, bathe, brush and snuggle them. Our pets are up to date on vaccinations and flee/tick medication and prefer that yours are as well!
“Doug looked after our kitty for 10 days. Being new to the area, it is such a relief to find a reliable and trustworthy person to come to our home every day and make sure our cat is okay. He shared prompt and detailed updates and lots of pictures so it helped us have peace of mind. We enjoyed our trip without any worries. Our kitty is very wary of people but she bonded with Doug and enjoyed his company. We hope we can book him again in the future.”
“I was absolutely pleased with Sydney’s care of my kitties while we were gone. She went above and beyond what was asked of her. Excellent communication. I would recommend her highly.”

Cat parents share their Rover experiences - Chapel Hill
Andrew was INCREDIBLE. We went to Italy for about 2 weeks and he dutifully came every two days to refill food and water bowls, give our cats personalized attention (including screened-in porch time), scoop their litter, and even change out pee pads, clean up vomit, check our mail, and bring in our garbage bins!! We were SO grateful to have someone we knew we could trust to ensure that our cats and our house were okay while we were gone. Andrew is so communicative and sweet and I HIGHLY recommend him— I hope to book his services for years to come! Thank you Andrew!!
My cat has been a resilient solo girl whenever I go on vacation; though recently, she's needed a revamped feeding schedule. Taylor took incredible care of my girl with this new feeding plan (and assuaging my newfound worries) - coming 2x a day to feed her and learning how to use my automatic wet food feeder to ensure my girl gets an early-morning snack to calm her sensitive stomach. Definitely recommend, but not when I need her ;)
Kelly was great to work with! She took on my last minute need as well as the unexpected add-on of two additional pets. She was also super patient with my slow response time due to a family emergency. The 2 cats and 2 high energy crazy teenage kittens were very well cared for - Kelly sent lots of photos and an update every day which was comforting. She was also very punctual. Will absolutely hire her again!
Excellent communication and great care for both of our cats while we were away for 2 weeks. She honestly went above and beyond and helped with some other things that weren’t technically part of her duties. Greatly appreciated and will definitely request her help in the future.
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.
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.

The average cost of Cat Sitting in Chapel Hill is $21 per visit as of October 2026. Most bookings cost between $14 and $31 per visit. On Rover, sitters set their own rates based on factors such as their experience, the length of care, the number of pets, and your pet’s specific needs.

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 .
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 , which provides up to $25,000 in eligible veterinary care reimbursement.
A Meet & Greet is a casual meeting to vet potential sitters and communicate care needs for peace of mind before a booking begins. Only sitters who have never booked with you before can schedule a Meet & Greet on Rover; however, you are welcome to coordinate one in Rover messages with sitters you have previously booked. This can be helpful if you have a new pet or routine you want to go over with your sitter.
Meet & Greets can take place in person or virtually. If you are booking with a sitter for the first time, we recommend in-person Meet & Greets to get a clearer sense of how your sitter interacts with your pet 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. Meet & Greets are a great way to prepare your pet and sitter for longer stays or first-time bookings. Read our tips for your first .

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 , which you can find on their profile under their contact information. Sitters may set a same-day, one-, three-, or seven-day cancellation policy. Cancelling within your sitter’s cancellation policy qualifies you for a full refund.
Same-day cancellations for recurring services, which include walks, drop-ins, and day care, follow the full refund policy. Otherwise, for pet boarding and house sitting, if you cancel after 12 pm on the applicable cancellation deadline, you’ll receive a 50% refund for the first seven days of the booking and a 100% refund for any remaining days.
If your sitter needs to cancel within seven days of the booking's start date, then our reservation protection will kick in. This means you will get a full refund and our support team will work with you to find a replacement sitter.
