Thank you for taking such good care of our cat, Polly. She may not have shown much appreciation, but we certainly felt very comfortable with your care!

Audrey was great!! I didn’t worry once that my kitties were being well taken care of. She sent pictures and videos, played with the cats, and communicated with me everyday! 100% will request her in the future.

About: I’ve been dog sitting/cat sitting for years through word of mouth. I prefer overnight stays so your pets aren’t lonely while you’re away. Treating all pets like they’re my own is very important to me. My cat is my little world and I’d do anything for her! I know how it is finding someone you can trust to watch over your friends and home. I’m a very conscientious guest and will leave your home exactly as you left it. No need to change sheets or wash towels when you return. I look forward to your message! I work part time, usually noon-5 pm. I have time set aside before and after work. My schedule varies week to week and I’ll send you my hours to match our schedules to customize your pet’s needs. With overnight stays my routine is to stop in to feed/let out twice a day in addition to the overnight stay. This is adjustable based on your pet’s needs and preferences. I’ll adapt to whatever your pet is used to so they’ll be comfortable while you’re away. Your pet will be looked after as if they’re my own!

About: I adore animals and I volunteer at the Fulton County Humane Society and have been for two years! During my work there I have helped with very skittish dogs from puppy mills to puppies who make quite the mess! I even have a few of my own pets i have two pitbulls and a rotweiller, one being a rescue so I understand some dogs having struggles with change of routine. I work part time in a restaurant but would be able to house sit on Tuesdays, Thursdays, and saturdays! I work shorter hours so i would be able to fit a stop in most days.’ I understand how this might confuse your dog having someone new come in and help them but because of my experience in the rescue world I know tips and tricks that will allow me to ensure their safety along with your houses!

About: I grew up with two cats and have always been surrounded by animals, especially dogs. I have a strong love for pets and understand how I’m important it is for them to feel safe, comfortable, and cared for while their owners are away. Throughout college, I have regularly helped care for my friends’ dogs, including providing walks, playtime, feeding, and companionship. I enjoy spending time with animals and making sure they receive the attention, patience, and love they deserve. I am comfortable with different personalities and energy levels and will always treat your pet like they are my own. I am currently a college student on summer break, which gives me a flexible schedule and plenty of time to dedicate to pet care. Right now, I work a part-time job Monday–Wednesday, but I will be fully done working in about a week and will have full availability to provide care, attention, and support for your pets. I enjoy staying active, spending time outdoors, and creating a routine, so pet care fits naturally into my daily life. I am available for walks, drop-in visits, playtime, feeding, and companionship throughout the day. I understand how important it is for pets to have consistency and attention, and I would love the opportunity to make sure your pet feels happy, safe, and loved while you’re away. I have a big back yard with lots of room to play and an air conditioned house. I’ll follow your pets routine and can be crated if needed!

Natasha was wonderful! She was very thorough and communicative, and we never had to worry about our cats while we were away because she was so on top of everything. She spent plenty of time with them on each visit, and also kept us updated with lots of photos. Our cats are senior citizens and need medications, so they're not the easiest to take care of, but Natasha handled everything incredibly well. We would happily have her watch our cats again.

About: I have been taking care of my 18-year-old cat since she was born. She has recently gone deaf and requires more attention. For two years, I frequently took care of a family with 5 children and 2 Great Danes. I give my cat attention daily, making sure she feels loved and content. This often includes filling her food, water, and changing her litter box, as well as many pets and cuddles. I would love to walk, play with, and take care of your pets. At home, I make sure my cat has a clean litter box and plenty of attention.

Michelle was absolutely wonderful with my three dogs. Two of my dogs take some time to warm up to strangers, and they can be kind of intimidating with their barking. She was so so patient with them, and they warmed up pretty quickly! She was able to gain their trust and give them all lots of pets and take them on walks. She was very thorough in her updates and sent lots of pictures, which I really appreciated. I highly recommend Michelle and I will be booking with her again.

Kaitlin was great with my 2 cats! I was worried about leaving my 14 year old hyperthyroid cat while I traveled, but she handled his feeding and medication great and kept me up to date on his symptoms and demeanor every day. My younger cat is very independent, but Kaitlin made sure he got lots of brushing and treats and I came home to 2 very happy kitties with full bellies, and clean water and litter :-)

Frequently asked questions about Rover

The average cost for Cat Sitting in Defiance on Rover is $25.53 per visit (as of September 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 September 2026, there are 40 sitters on Rover offering Cat Sitting across Defiance. 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.
