Loved Vivianas Visits! I really appreciated the price, which made it very affordable. She visited Bean twice a day and sent photos every time! Viviana was quick to respond and fixed any concerns I had. Bean loved her, and I hope to book with her again!!!

Tyler has been great with my dog, Effie. She’s very high energy Boston terrier and absolutely loves him. They’re reliable, considerate of her needs, and very easy to communicate with. I always feel good knowing she’s in good hands while I’m at work.

Tylyn did a great job!!! While on vacation my daughter s visited my home and unfortunately Rascal my indoor only cat got out of the house. Tylyn informed me and explained the steps she had already taken to attempt to catch Rascal, even thinking of things I had not thought of. She visited my house twice a day even though she was only supposed to visit once she made every effort possible to help with the return of Rascal. Tylyn is personable and I feel that she truly loves the pets she cares for. I have used Tylyn in the past and I will definitely use her in the future and recommend her to anyone who is looking for a loving, capable and trustworthy pet sitter.

About: I have grown up with Dogs and cats as a child. Also had bunny’s, reptiles, and gerbils for that matter! LOL! I’ve had the same Beautiful Most Awesome cat named Gizmo for 15 years until October of last year when cancer took him from me! I’m deeply saddened still. And please believe me when I say. “It was the hardest thing I ever had to do or went thru”. He was my best bud and I loved saying hello when I got home but when he was gone it has been my hardest goodbye! I now dog/New puppy sit for a good family friend. And love every minuet of it! I also clean and make sure the home is presentable and reasonably ready for their mom to get home and not have to worry about cleaning their mess. Or her own. If client is comfortable with that. Then I would do anything that was asked of me! I’m very punctual and respectful and take into account what the client needs not what I think they need. It’s your family member. It’s your house, all you got to do is talk to me and let me know what you need and I will do my best at providing that service. I also have 1 dog named Bella and 2 cats named Abel and Mozart in our family. Update: Bella past from cancer a few weeks ago, and Mozart passed 2 weeks ago due to kidney disease ! We have suffered so much loss in the past 8 months. We now have Abel and Delilah. Delilah is a 3 month old kitten and Abel is a 1 yr old! Lots of fun! Please check my pets profile to see pics of them. And let me tell you. This is their house. We just live in it! LOL. Abel is new. I adopted him shortly after some grieving time over Gizmo. And he is just like gizmo. Big personality and very much a pain in my rear. But he’s our child. And he’s so beautiful! Than you so much for your time in reading this. And don’t hesitate to reach out with any questions. I am a partially disabled person. I have a disease that affects my hips and lower spine, and then a disease that we believe. I contracted through my father‘s service in Vietnam, but don’t worry nothing that’s contagious. LOL. Nothing that is Gunna take me out anytime soon but getting out of the house to go take care of fur babies is the best thing for me. It gives me exercise. It gives me purpose and it gives me the ability to give the love that I have to give away to other members of peoples families. I’m truly honest and respectful, and need more purpose in my life to help other’s, my hips and my Parkinson’s disease will not slow me down. I’m young still at 41 and I will continue to do anything and everything I can to help anyone in everyone that I can. I would like to continue helping by doing this service for you and your family.. And NOTHING WILL keep me from doing anything and everything needed in any case of taking care of your home or your furbaby. unfortunately, I can only take care of people’s homes & their fur babies in their home, because of my furbabies. Thank you for understanding. I will keep your home in pristine condition. Cat boxes will be cleaned 2 to 3 times a day unless instructed otherwise. I’m very particular about that for your fur babies and your home will be treated with respect and love and cared for by me, which means I will put my all into anything that you need taken care of.

About: I’ve grown up with many cats and different types of dog's. I had a dog that was 19 years old and have been self training my current dog since I got him. Im currently a student at Chico State so I have plenty of time after classes and school. I have plenty of time to walk and play with your pets after 2pm on most weekdays. I make sure there’s no way to escape or places that can hurt your pet if it gets in those places. I would make sure to be attentive and make sure I know what they’re up to.

About: I’ve taken care of dogs since I was 12 years old. I have experience with dogs who have special needs, specifically, neurological disorders requiring medication administration. I’ve spent the last two years training my dog, Bubba, through separation anxiety and reactive aggression. He went from chasing cats to occasionally taking naps with them. My first dog, Lilly, was reactive to dogs and when I brought home Bubba as a puppy, my family called him “snack” because they didn’t think it was possible, but she immediately took him in and they were inseparable for 7 years! I’ve always been gifted at reading animals - humans, not so much. I will always advocate for those who can’t advocate for themselves :) I’m available every day, whenever you need! I recently quit my job and needed a fun way to get a little extra cash before moving to the PNW! Unfortunately, my dog is an anti-social introvert and doesn’t like visitors. His house, his rules… However, I’m more than happy to care for your pet inside of your home!

About: I have always been lucky enough to have a dog growing up. I have looked after my neighbors pets multiple times as well. I am very comfortable around all types. As for cats I have never personally taken care of any but I do volunteer at the shelter that has both cats and dogs. When I come to take care of, play with, and walk your dogs I will dedicate my time to loving them and treat them as if they were my own. I have one family dog named Charles. He is a Lagotto Romagnolo and he truly is my bestfriend. I am interning at an accounting firm and I work Tuesday, Thursday, and Friday from 8 to 5 pm. I am free to pet sit these days too after 5. Since I sit at a desk all day, I have a lot of energy leftover and love going on walks and playing with my dog in the evening. Hopefully in the future yours too!! I currently have a dog and he is a big part of my life. I love exercising and everyone I do cardio he joins me for my walks. He loves playing fetch so I am used to that. I also just love a pets affection and love. I constantly walk my dog, take him to the dog park (even though all he does is sit in the shade), I feed him every night and give him infinite kisses!

About: I grew up in two separate households, both of which had pets. I learned to care for them from a young age and have grown very fond of taking care of them. From small breeds to large breeds of dogs, I'm your girl who can take care of them! You can count on me to treat your sweet babies as if they were my own! I currently work a full-time job and am doing this as a side hustle. But I will still be just as dedicated to your pups! If you have any questions about my hours please message me and we can work something out that fits with your schedule! I'll make sure to follow along with schedules and feeding habits and even playtime habits. I'll make sure to give your pets lots of love and attention that they need when you're away!

About: I love going for long hikes in the park or shorter jaunts in the suburbs. I'm careful about following food and care plans, and after a good walk, I'll make sure they get a snack and water! I am always attentive for when they want affection, need to burn some energy, or go outside! I regularly check for health concerns and how they're doing. The first thing I always check is food and water bowl are clean. If they're free feeding, I'll always make sure it's full. I'm on time with a schedule too! A lot of pets don't like strangers, so I'll give them all the time they need to be comfortable.

About: I’ve cared for pets for over 6 years, including dogs of all sizes, cats, and even litters of kittens. From energetic puppies who need patience and play to senior dogs who need a gentler pace, I’ve had hands-on experience with it all. What sets me apart is my attentiveness. I treat every pet as if they were my own, noticing the little things that help them feel safe and happy. Whether it’s a walk, cuddle time, or just keeping them company, I bring a calm and caring energy. My goal is for your pet to feel comfortable, loved, and well cared for while you’re away. I’m available for pet care between 8am and 8pm. Since I have pets of my own, I understand how important routine and attention are, and I’ll make sure your pets get the same care and consistency. I plan visits and walks in a way that lets me balance my own animals’ needs with giving yours my full attention. Whether it’s morning, midday, or evening, I’ll work with you to keep your pet’s schedule steady and stress-free. I care for pets with the same attentiveness I give my own. Whether I’m in your home or out on a walk, safety always comes first, from keeping leashes secure to making sure food, water, and routines are followed. I’m comfortable with brushing, feeding, playtime, and walks, and I take care to notice the little details that help pets feel secure. I also respect your home and your pet’s routines, so you can trust they’ll be cared for exactly the way you prefer.

About: I have worked with all types of animals, breeds and personality types. I’ve done dog walking/pet sitting for about 6 years and absolutely adore it! I am comfortable with any special needs or unique temperaments. (Most of my experience has been off this app, hence my lack of reviews… I am more than happy to provide references individually!) I’m currently available anytime during the day or night, weekdays and weekends. I can do overnights as well. As long as we plan ahead all should be good! I have a lot of time to stay with the pets in their own home so they will have lots of stimulation and attention! I love taking them anywhere they love, walking around the neighborhood, trips to dog beach, or supervising play dates with their furry friends!

I have 12 years of experience working as a dog groomer, so I’m very comfortable caring for dogs of all different breeds, sizes and personalities. I’m patient, easygoing and understand that every dog has their own routine and comfort level. I’m happy to provide lots of love and attention, overnight care, walks, playtime and basic grooming while your pet is with me.

I’m available for walks, potty breaks, playtime, feeding, and lots of company. I’m also comfortable following your pet’s normal routine as closely as possible.

My goal is to help your pet feel secure and relaxed while you’re away, keeping their environment consistent and stress-free.

Frequently asked questions about Rover

The average cost for Cat Sitting in Durham on Rover is $0 per visit (as of August 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 August 2026, there are 151 sitters on Rover offering Cat Sitting across Durham. 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 with handling special pet needs in Durham. On Rover:

  • 93% of sitters can help with special care needs
  • 100% can help with giving oral medications or injections
  • 80% 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 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.
