“Rachel was very responsive any time I needed to update something. She came twice a day to care for my cats while I was gone. Each visit she sent me a text and pictures, which is what I like. Litter boxes were clean and cats were calm when I returned. I will definitely use Rachel again.”
About: Animals have always held a special place in my heart, and I truly love being able to care for them and make sure they feel safe and happy! I am a dependable person who takes pride in providing the best care possible. I have experience house sitting and pet sitting for multiple friends and family members over both short and extended periods of time, and they would be happy to vouch for my reliability and the care I provide. I understand that pets are family, and I will treat your fur babies with the same love, patience, and attention I would give my own. Whether it's walks, playtime, cuddles, or simply keeping them company, I want you to have peace of mind knowing they are in good hands. From chickens, to cats and dogs and even goldfish, I’ve done it all! I am also using pet sitting as an opportunity to work hard and save money to return to school for my masters degree so I truly appreciate every opportunity and every family who trusts me with their beloved pets! I currently work 4 nights a weeks so I’m free during the day for schedule potty breaks, feedings, or walks from. I am off on weekends and available for short or long visits. I am flexible and I don’t mind adjusting my schedule if needed. I am always on high alert and make sure I have all animals within sight and ear shot. I make sure to ask questions and would like explicit details on how each family would prefer I attend to their pets. Be it feeding and potty schedules, favorite toys, restricted areas and temperaments, I make sure to gather and retain all information necessary to provide the very best care.
About: I have 15 years of experience caring for animals, and being around them has always been something I genuinely enjoy. Over the years, I’ve gained experience with different animals, each with their own personalities, needs, and routines. I understand that caring for a pet takes patience, responsibility, and attention to detail. I’m happy to help with feeding, fresh water, walks, playtime, bathing when needed, and keeping their spaces clean. I also believe every pet deserves plenty of affection, attention, and opportunities to feel comfortable and safe. Whether your pet is energetic and playful, shy and nervous, or needs a little extra care, I’ll do my best to make them feel loved and at ease. I know pets are family, and I would treat yours with the same kindness, patience, and care I would give my own. I’m a dedicated student in my school’s veterinary assistant program, where I gain hands on experience by shadowing professionals in veterinary offices as I work toward becoming a certified veterinary assistant. Outside of school, I’m also a student athlete, participate in band, and am involved in the National Honor Society. I’m proud to be in the top 25% of my class and to have earned A and AB honor roll recognition. Balancing these commitments has taught me time management, responsibility, and dedication. I’ll communicate clearly about my availability and make every effort to provide your pet with dependable, attentive care. Your pet’s safety and well being are very important to me. Through my school’s veterinary assistant program, I’m gaining experience by shadowing professionals in veterinary offices and learning more about animal health and proper care. I also have experience house sitting for a regular client, which has helped me understand the importance of trust, reliability, and respecting someone else’s home. I follow care instructions carefully, pay attention to animal behavior and needs, and strive to provide a calm, clean, and comfortable environment. I want every pet parent to feel confident knowing their pets and home are being treated with care and respect.
About: I have plenty of free time to walk and play with your dogs and cats and keeping both you and them happy. My schedules are super flexible and I can housesit your pets whenever when you’re off to work. I can also bathe them if they have been playing in the backyard, rolling in the dirt, and gets too stinky. I do have two cats, the black one is named Happy and the orange one is named Teo. They are super sweet and I’m pretty sure our pets will get along super well! I will have a dance party with your little best friends. Oh fun fact about me is that I used to be the chaplain of FFA in high school, so I know a thing or two about animals. I’m currently working part time so I’ll have plenty of time to play and walk with your fur babies. I’m available most of the time, just shoot me a message! I currently don’t have any pets in my house, so it’s perfect if your fur babies are shy or don’t do well with other pets.
About: Animals have always been a big part of my life, both professionally and personally. I worked at Shelley Drive Animal Clinic for four years, where I cared for dogs and cats by administering medications, feeding, cleaning kennels and litter boxes, monitoring their health, and ensuring they were comfortable and well cared for. Outside of work, I have a farm where I care for my horse and two dogs, giving me hands-on experience with animals of different sizes and personalities. I earned a bachelor’s degree in Animal Science and am currently pursuing my master’s degree in Animal Science. Whether your pet needs playtime, medication, or extra patience and attention, you can trust that they will receive compassionate, reliable, and knowledgeable care with me. Pet care is woven into my life through work, farm responsibilities, and animal science studies, giving me hands-on experience and compassion for animals each day. Your pet’s safety, happiness, and comfort are my top priorities. I will provide a loving, safe, and stress-free environment where your pet feels secure while you’re away. Every pet will receive plenty of attention, affection, playtime, and personalized care based on their individual needs and routine. Whether it’s feeding, administering medication, going for walks, or simply providing companionship, I’ll care for your pet as if they were my own. My goal is to give you peace of mind, knowing your furry family member is in compassionate, trustworthy, and capable hands.
“Genesis was a great pet sitter, taking wonderful care of both of our cats. She arrived on time and took care of all requested items. We will definitely be using her again! She's also great about sending videos and pictures and leaving a Rover card each day. Highly recommend.”

Frequently asked questions about Rover
As of November 2026, there are 33 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 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 Meet & Greet.

sitters on Rover set their own cancellation policy, 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.
