“Alexis watched my kitties while I was away and did fantastically. I thoroughly enjoyed every update she sent, from photos to videos to simple texts. This was my first time using Rover -- I felt very confident leaving my house in a stranger's hands LOL! She felt very trustworthy upon meeting her. Would recommend her pet sitting services to anyone!”
“Julianne was a great sitter for our two cats. She was prompt with the scheduled timing, followed care instructions thoroughly and to completeness, ensured that our guys were healthy and happy, and would play with them for any extra time she had during the visits. We also really appreciated the pictures of our cats that she’d send after every visit. Our cats get antsy/restless when we get back from weekend trips when we leave extra food/water and forego a check-in, but they were clearly relaxed and calm when we got back: the best sign to see that they were well taken care of while we were away. Thank you again Julianne for your great care of Chai and Bean, and I’m sure they will see you again when we next go out of town!”
“Victoria was great! My cat fell ill while I was gone and she went above and beyond. Taking my cat urgent care and giving her the extra attention she needed. Thank you!”
About: I have been pet sitting on and off for the past 20 years. I do have two cats but I can separate them away from pet. I am good with all types of different pets. I am home during the day and so I will be able to spend a lot of time with your pet. I have time to walk and play with dogs and spend time with cats. I have a large yard just outside my home where the pet can play. I live in a quiet area so the animals will not be disturbed.
About: I've lived in homes with pets of all kinds since early childhood, and love all animals! I have owned two special-needs dogs over the last 15 years, and feel comfortable with challenging pet situations. I tailor my care to the needs and personality of each animal. I'm passionate about making animals feel safe and loved! My children are in school full-day, and my other work consists of odd jobs, so I have lots of flexibility to take care of your animals on a schedule that works for them! I treat every pet and every home like it was my own. I will leave your home in the same condition it was in when I arrived, and give your pet the love and care s/he deserves!
“Audra went above and beyond in taking care of my little sushi boy. I received regular updates and photos, which gave us peace of mind knowing everything was going well. Our cat was happy and comfortable when we returned home. We would definitely recommend them to anyone looking for a trustworthy and caring cat sitter!”
About: I’ve been caring for animals since I was 10. My friends and family have relied on me to feed, walk and play with their pets.

Caring for animals is a natural, joyful part of my daily life. Whether I’m tending to my own two cats and snake, or providing pet sitting for others, animal care is woven into my routine with attention and dedication. I provide care to many different pets, but I do offer 24/7 care for those pets that need extra attention. Just message me to discuss schedule expectations and pricing! When caring for pets in a client’s home, I respect their space and follow detailed instructions to ensure pets receive familiar care and attention. I always provide updates, photos, and open communication so owners feel confident their pets are in good hands.

“Janelle was absolutely fabulous with my kitties ! She followed my cats daily routine, offered them so many cuddles and pats, administered medicine and was so communicative throughout my whole vacation. I am super grateful for the care she had for them.”
“Dee is a wonderful sitter! She is super responsive, and went above and beyond to help out when my flight home was delayed. Dee put my mind at ease that our kitty would be taken care of even if I was stuck in the airport unexpectedly. She sent daily updates and pictures, and we knew our cat was in good hands while we were away. The moment she walked in our door, our cat Mowgli felt at ease with her. I highly recommend Dee and plan to rebook in the future :)”

Cat parents share their Rover experiences - Derby
Stephany is kind, reliable, and professional. She cleaned up a litter mess and also just made sure the litter boxes were clean and not just emptied. It’s that extra effort I really appreciate. My cat is also pretty picky, has hidden from a lot of Rovers but she loves Stephany’s kindness!
Jenny really spent time with my cat! I have had other cat sitters (from Rover) who spent 5 or 10 minutes, but Jenny spent 25-30 minutes to give my cat some play time and lots of love. I have a camera on my front door so I know how long the sitter stays. Jenny sent regular updates and was easy to work with.
Laura checked on our cat while we were away during the holidays. Laura is very responsive to all communication. She provided daily updates with pictures (even though our cat is super shy). It was great knowing that someone was checking on him every day. Laura, thank you so much for taking care of Fez!
McKenna took great care of our 2 cats while we were out of town. She fed them, played with them, and gave them attention. She left our house just as clean as when we left and took care of a excited eater's vomit. The cats love having her visit and we know they are in good hands.

The average cost of Cat Sitting in Derby is $16 per visit as of October 2026. Most bookings cost between $10 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.

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 .

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.
