“We had a great experience! Our boys were happy, healthy, and well fed when we got home. The amazing pictures are a great bonus too 🙂 We will absolutely be booking again next time we need to be out of town.”
“Amaryl was extremely kind and made us feel very at ease while we were away from our cats. Super responsive, respectful, and considerate. Will be booking again with Amaryl!”
“Hayley was responsive and incredibly helpful in a short notice situation - really a lifesaver!! We greatly appreciate the level of care and peace of mind she provided while we were away. It’s very apparent Hayley loves animals and can quickly develop bonds with new pets to help them feel safe and loved. We loved all of the pictures she sent and would highly recommend her as a sitter! I know our cats would love to see her again!!”
“Charlotte was so awesome! She learned how to do Stonks' insulin and gave him a lot of love and attention. When he ended up getting sick, she was extremely communicative and took extra time out of her day to watch him and keep me updated as I made the trek back home. Would absolutely use her again!”
“Evan was very kind, quick to respond and did a great job looking after my cat Oogie. He sent lots of pictures and it was clear he was keeping him entertained and cared for, giving him lots of play time and pets, which was very appreciated :)”
About: Growing up with Steve Irwin as my role model, I have personal experience with pets of many varieties, including cats, dogs, guinea pigs, rabbits, fish, crabs, etc. I have professionally worked as a cat sitter for 2 years, as well as experience working in a vet clinic as a receptionist and assistant. I have experience with befriending the most timid pets, playing with the best of ‘em, and providing oral and topical medications. I am the full time pet parent to my two cats, Mabel and Luna! I am a mental health therapist by day and an animal lover all the time! I can be available for overnight stays on the weekends and for drop in visits/walks in the morning before 9am or after 4pm. I maintain a calm, loving demeanor with every pet I care for. Much like humans in therapy, I meet the pet where they are and encourage them by building a strong rapport. In your home, I will be respectful of the space by keeping it clean, as well as towards your pet!
“Working with Mimi was wonderful. She took great care of our cat while we were away. We appreciated the daily updates and photos. Mimi did a great job communicating with us. I would be happy to recommend her and have her sit for us again.”
About: I’ve lived and loved cats and dogs of all ages all my life! I currently have three cats and a snake at home, and I know how hard it is to leave them behind when traveling. I have 10+ years of experience watching pets for family and neighbors who have peace of mind knowing their pets are loved while they’re away! I’m a full time researcher and master’s student, and am available in the early mornings evenings after 3pm and all day on weekends. My schedule would work best for pets that can be alone for 8 hours during the week while I’m at work. I can be very flexible with a pets individual needs. I love to cuddle and give affection to animals that seek it, but I also understand when space is necessary to build trust and respect. I love spunky, energized cats and dogs just as much as the lazy loafs!
“Suzanne was great with my cat and sent detailed updates after each visit. She was kind enough to come do a meet and greet beforehand as well. Would definitely book with her again!”
About: I’ve taken care of pets for family and friends for as long as I can remember. I love going on walks and seeing new parts of the city and would love to have a companion on my adventures. Our family dog passed a little over a year ago and I miss having a pet in my life. I will care for your pet as if they were my own. I am currently on summer break from work and would love to take care of your pet in my free time. My schedule is fairly open and flexible. I have a fenced in yard in a quiet neighborhood and own a crate if needed for their comfort. I foster dogs so I have raised food and water dishes, a bed, and other essentials to make their stay comfortable.
About: Hi! We're Charlotte and Leslie, your favorite Queer Aunties. Our boys are Otis and Auggie and they can't wait to meet you and your pet! Otis is the Friendliest Friend Who Ever Friended -- he's a 68-pound pittie mix who has never known a stranger. He is great about matching energy with his doggo friends and responds well to communication from other dogs. We joke that his energy level is along the lines of being a sprinter, not a marathoner, but if your pet is a marathoner he will do his very best to keep up. As long has he gets to take a nap afterward, LOL! Auggie loves to run in the back yard with his friends and play tug with them. He's also a pittie mix spends his time either solar charging in the yard or napping near his humans. We've learned that he sometimes needs slow introductions to new friends and is perfectly content to spend time in his crate to decompress when needed. I've owned dogs since I was a teenager and have added cats to my household in the past few years. We have experience with special needs dogs and cats - we like to learn what their needs are so that we can set them (and us!) up for success. We're accustomed to giving medication, syringe feeding, monitoring behaviors, etc. We both work from home and are able to play with your pet and let them out for potty breaks multiple times a day. If left home alone, it would be for no more than 2-3 hours at a time. Your pet will be loved and spoiled as if it were our own. We allow our pets on the furniture and have multiple cat trees and dog beds around the house. We have a large fenced-in back yard for the pups to run and play in. Otis also has a couple of friends in the neighborhood that we may introduce your pet to for a group playdate. Your pet is sure to have a fun time no matter what!
“Second time booking with Tori and just as happy as the first time! It feels so good to know my pets are in caring, attentive hands! I love all the photos we get and the detailed update on each cat! She’s the best!!”
“Alexa was beyond Amazing! Super responsive, sent lots of pictures and updates, and most importantly I could tell she genuinely enjoyed taking care of my dash! Definitely will book with her for every trip if she's available!”

Cat parents share their Rover experiences - Cincinnati
Andrea is very communicative and took great care of my 2 cats. I appreciated the daily photos and status updates. I was nervous to leave them for the first time but Andrea brought me so much reassurance! I would definitely book again. My cats seemed really content when I returned home.
Margaret did a wonderful job taking care of my 2 finicky, mature cats. She has great communication, and she was persistent in winning them both over and figuring out how to get Jimmy to take his meds. I strongly recommend Margaret and would definitely hire her again.
Hannah went above and beyond when taking care of Lady! Kept in contact with me, asking questions if needed. She gave Lady lots of love and care! She took the best pictures of my lil Lady, including the process of giving Lady her daily pill and nebulizer! She made sure to be gentle and accommodating, (cuz Lady can be shy at first) which led Lady to feel comfortable and trusting around her! Did amazing taking care of my elderly cat with medical needs! :)
Christina was the best! she took excellent care of our kiddos and even got our most sensitive cat to eat his meals (and take his meds!) without any issue! she sent us tons of photos, was super communicative, and super flexible. 10/10 recommend her for all your pet needs!!

Frequently asked questions about Rover
The average cost of Cat Sitting in Cincinnati is $17 per visit as of November 2026. Most bookings cost between $14 and $32 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. As long as your booking dates and pet profiles are accurate, the price shown before you confirm is the total, including any booking fee.
As of November 2026, there are 384 sitters on Rover offering Cat Sitting across Cincinnati. 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.

- 88% of sitters can help with special care needs

- 91% can help with daily exercise
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 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.
