Amanda is wonderful with Roxy!! She provides updates and pictures from her visits. Knowing Roxy is in good hands during her visits puts my mind at ease. Amanda is a 10/10 for us and we will continue to have her care for Roxy as long as we need!

Kristina is an excellent pet sitter!! If we need services for our cat (Oliver) again, she will be our first contact! She went above and beyond to help us and care for Oliver by being flexible and accommodating as needed. Kristina is easy to work with, responsible and communicates well. Thank you Kristina!! Oliver looked great and was so happy when we returned from our trip! He misses you already!

Karen was absolutely amazing! Our kitty isn't a fan of people but Karen was patient and kind. By the last day, Fern even let Karen pet her. Karen also went above and beyond and sent lots of pictures. We will definitely have her back.

Samantha was just what we didn’t know we needed in a pet sitter! She was fabulous. This was our first time needing pet sitter services and it was a last minute change which worried us. Our worries were put to rest after our meet and greet with Samantha. Sophie dog warmed right up to her and we could see that she felt comfortable right away with Samantha. Samantha gave multiple updates, photos, and during her visits. We are thankful!

She was very communicative and gave Clio lots of attention and care. I received regular updates and photos, which made me feel at ease while I was away. Clio was happy and relaxed when I got back. I would definitely have her watch Clio again.

About: I’ve owned and cared for dogs and cats and other pets since 1986. Love, trust, patience and high respect with animals are my #1 priority! I have volunteered with Animal Protective League as well as adopted cats from there. I am pretty much a person who takes home a stray animal who needs a home. My family has taken in 20 cats in the last 25 years that were strays on the street and kept them their whole lives. We have owned, to this date, 14 dogs dating as far back as when I was a toddler. Animals are my passion and I look forward to meeting yours! I am currently a stay-at-home mom. I own 11 cats. I am available for long-term and short-term periods. I am flexible with schedules and times and days depend on the client’s needs as well as pet needs. Currently, I am available for walking dogs, watching cats, as well as checking in and feeding animals at the client’s house during the client’s absence. Please contact me for further details and a custom schedule! Currently not providing pet care in my home. Pet care will be provided in the client’s home. When pet daycare services become available in my home, it will be announced!

About: Hello, Me and my husband love animals and are looking to give them all the love while you are away. I have been watching pets on and off for over 15 years and my husband has helped ever since we’ve been together. We would love to add your family of pets to the list. Please contact me if you are leaving town and need a reliable sitter for your pet(s) or need someone to check on them throughout the day at your home. They will be given the proper care that you would provide them yourself! I have been a dog lover my whole life. I have always grown up around dogs and would not of had it any other way. I have helped several strays find their forever homes in the past. It warms my heart to help a pet in need. My husband and I will be sharing the responsibility for caring for you pet(s) from time to time. We will make sure your dog gets all the attention they could want when we stop in to care for them or care for them in our home. Will do walks and outside time as much as you would like! My work is different depending on the day and the week. I am happy to speak with you and see if I can make my schedule accommodate your needs. I treat dogs that I watch just as I would my own dog. I love all animals and I will give your pet the love they crave while you are gone.

Amy was absolutely incredible with Thor, Arya, and Binx while I was away. She was so sweet, responsive, attentive, and truly loved my babies like they were her own. She even took Thor to the emergency vet for me when something unexpected came up, and I genuinely cannot express how grateful I am for the care and kindness she showed throughout everything. Coming home to happy, loved, well cared for pets meant the world to me. I would recommend her to anyone and everyone without hesitation.

About: I’ve had dogs for my entire life. I have been volunteering at a local humane society since the age of seven. I take care of all of my family and friends’ dogs while they are away on vacation. Pet care will be my summer job! When I am not on vacation myself, I will be available. I am incredibly flexible. I can stay at your home or come and go as your pet needs! I have a fenced in yard and four dogs of my own. I am no stranger to cleaning up messes or using a lint roller before I leave the house.

About: I have owned and cared for dogs for over 20 years. They always become part of my family while they are with me. Whether it is my own dog or ones I am caring for, walks, dog park, brushing and playing are part of the daily routine. From little ones like Chihuahuas to large breeds like German Shepherds, I love them all! My pet sitting experience includes caring for elderly pets and those that need medication or special diets. My availability is open and includes weekends and holidays. Currently I am EMT certified and am pending pet First Aid & CPR training. When your pet is in my care you will have one less thing to worry about because they will be in good hands!

There's a reason I've trusted Karah time and again with my shy kitty: she's dependable, sends updates and pictures, and is really skilled at matching her care to the needs of my kitty so much so that my shy cat is now very comfortable with her and always in good spirits when I return!

FAQs for Drop-In Visits - Chatham

Frequently asked questions about Rover

The average cost for Cat Sitting in Chatham on Rover is $22.2 per visit (as of July 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 July 2026, there are 67 sitters on Rover offering Cat Sitting across Chatham. 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 administering medication or managing dietary requirements. You can also find pet sitters who accept only one pet at a time, which is ideal for anxious puppies 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 request a 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.
