“Jennifer was great! I just adopted my little cat Jellybean and Jennifer did a great job visiting her during my first business trip. I can tell Jelly was happy and calm even though I had to disrupt her newly formed routine due to travel. The pics Jennifer uploaded were a nice perk during long work travel days. ❤️🙂”

About: I have had fur babies my whole life. I'm mature, dependable, trustworthy, and love pets. I have the time, patience, and energy to give your furry family members the dedicated attention they deserve. I will prioritize their safety, routine and happiness above all else. I have property rentals that don't take much of my daily time so I have plenty of time to take care of your fur babies. My goal will be to maintain their normal routine as closely as possible while you are away. I will have a small list of questions, so we cover everything. I will send you a daily photo and updates, so you don't worry. I will keep your home clean, secure and exactly how you left it.

About: I’ve been doing dog/cat sitting since I was 13! I have worked in a boarding facility for over a year now. I’m cpr certified as well :) I do dog/cat sitting full time, I’m out of school so your furry friends will have my attention 100% of the time! I also have car transportation I do not offer sleepovers in my home due to be having my own furry companions. I have 5 dogs, a cat, a hamster, and a leopard gecko :)

About: Animals have been part of my life for as long as I can remember. From iguanas and hamsters to cats and dogs, I’ve cared for just about every kind of furry, scaled, and whiskered companion along the way 🐾 I’ve especially spent most of my life caring for dogs, so understanding their personalities, routines, and needs comes naturally to me. I currently have a 14 year old dog who is truly my pride and joy, and caring for her has only deepened my love and patience for animals. You can trust that I’ll treat your pets with the same attention, affection, and care I give my own. Your pets won’t just be looked after, they’ll be genuinely loved 🤍 I work full time (9-5) but in the evenings and Weekends I am free(: so any needs you may have please don’t hesitate to reach out. 😌 Well I’m sure since I can’t provide my own home, that you the owner will let me know any safety hazards or things I would need to know before anything

About: I’ve grown up with dogs my whole life and have spent the last few years caring for close friends’ dogs and cats. I truly love animals and enjoy giving them lots of attention, walks, and care. I’m happy to look after dogs of all breeds and sizes, making sure they’re fed, exercised, and feel safe, loved, and comfortable—just like they would at home. My special skills include professional belly rubs and treat giver. I work part-time, so I’m pretty flexible during the weekdays for walks, visits, and feedings. On weekends I work eight-hour shifts on Saturday and Sunday, so I’m available early in the morning or later at night. I’m always happy to coordinate schedules to make sure your pet is well taken care of. Whether it’s my own dog or yours, there will always be long walks, playtime, and lots of belly rubs. My dog loves chasing his tennis ball and playing tug-of-war, so I’m very used to keeping pups active and happy. Whatever your dog loves to do, I’ll make sure they get plenty of fun, care, and attention.

She's a sweet, soft spoken person and I can tell she has a kind loving heart for animals and people. I will recommend Lily to my family and I will contact her again to dog sit for us. Thank you Lily!”

About: I've grown up with a large variety of pets my entire life, ranging from dogs (big, medium and small), cats, fish, beared dragons, chinchillas, and hamsters. Therefore I am very comfortable when it comes to handling varying types of pets and their personalities. Currently a full time college student and also looking for a part time job, but all my classes are online so my availability is pretty flexible. I walk 2 of my dogs daily as well as play with them in my backyard for at least 15 minutes a day since they are younger and need the enrichment. I also feed all my pets daily and provide them with clean water and litter boxes for those who use it.

About: Hi! My name is Hailey, I’m 21 years old and currently in nursing school. I’ve been around animals my entire life and have always had a huge love for them. I currently have four cats and a Golden Retriever of my own, including a blind cat, so I also have personal experience caring for an animal with special needs and understanding the extra patience, attention, and consistency they may require. I also have experience watching and caring for my sister’s dog, along with taking care of my own pets every day. I understand how important it is to have someone dependable, patient, and loving looking after your pets while you’re away. I’m happy to help with feeding, walks, playtime, potty breaks, litter box care, companionship, and making sure your pets feel safe and comfortable. I’ll treat your pets with the same love and attention I give my own. I also have reliable transportation and my own car, which makes it easy for me to travel to your home for drop-in visits, walks, or other pet-care needs. I’m responsible, caring, and excited to meet you and your pets! Pet care fits well into my daily and weekly schedule. I am currently in nursing school and am available after 3:00 PM on weekdays once I get out of class. My weekends are open, giving me plenty of flexibility for walks, drop-in visits, and pet sitting. I also have my own reliable transportation, so I’m able to travel to clients and make sure their pets receive consistent and dependable care. In a client’s home, I would follow their pet’s normal routine as closely as possible so they feel comfortable and safe. I can provide feeding, fresh water, walks, potty breaks, playtime, litter box cleaning, and plenty of attention and companionship. I’m also comfortable caring for pets that may need extra patience, since I have a blind cat of my own. I would make sure to follow any specific instructions the owner leaves and keep their home and pet’s space clean and secure while they are away.

About: Hello! I have grown up with cats my whole life, and have adored each and every relationship I have had with each of them. I have had cat-care experiences of changing litter boxes, playing with them, feeding and giving water, as well as administering medications. I believe that cat care is not just about feeding and changing the litter box though, but giving them love and attention while their loving owner is away! Although I am not in a position to own my own kitty at the moment, I would love to give this love to yours :) My schedule is mostly free, just ask! I welcome both daytime visits and overnight house stays as well. I farm and work gigs on the side during the day time. I take care of both physical or emotional needs of your pet, changing the litter box, brushing, playing with them, petting/giving love, administering medication, feeding and changing water, or anything specific you would like me to do with them. Each animal is different and has different needs, so specific instructions on how your cat likes to be cared for is great!

About: I’ve always had dogs growing up, so I’m well-versed in taking care of animals. I’ve also been sitting a wonderful cat named Bandit for the past 5 to 6 years. My responsibilities include staying overnight for as long as the owner is away, providing food, water, and treats. I also handle any special requests, such as medications, dietary restrictions, or special treat puzzles. To ensure the animal parents feel included and receive a special treat while they’re away, I love to send photo updates. Pet care seamlessly fits into my daily routine. I currently take care of Pets on a part-time basis and have a few regular clients who leave every month for few days to two weeks. In their absence, I take over their pet sitting and housesitting responsibilities. I always enjoy starting the day with a meet-and-greet where I get to meet the parents and the animal. We then go over where all their food is stored. Their favorite spots are often their favorite toys, which are essentially their daily routine. I try to fit myself into that routine as easily as possible to make things easier for both the animal and the parents.

FAQs for Cat Sitting - Cortez

Frequently asked questions about Rover

The average cost of Cat Sitting in Cortez is $26 per visit as of October 2026. Most bookings cost between $16 and $30 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 October 2026, there are 1,948 sitters on Rover offering Cat Sitting across Cortez. 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 .

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 .

Yes, you can find sitters who have experience with handling special pet needs in Cortez. On Rover:

  • 90% of sitters can help with special care needs
  • 94% can help with giving oral medications or injections
  • 95% 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 , 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.
