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.

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.

Jody did an excellent job with our kitty Numa. We came home to a happy cat. Jody even watered our plants and brought in the mail which was a lifesaver. We are so grateful to have someone ao trustworthy and kind to our kitty. Our plants looked like we never left and our kitty happy and healthy. We will definitely book with Jody again

Danielle was amazing! First of all this was our first time with Rover and she helped us through it. The first time we met her we weren’t sure our cat Loki would come out to meet her. He went straight to her! She was so nice and friendly. She messaged us whenever she had a question and the pictures she sent us really showed that he social and enjoying her visits. He loves to play and there were many action shots while playing together. We can tell that she made sure he was fed, had clean water, and his litter box was cleaned out. We will be asking for her services in the future.

About: I’ve cared for seniors, puppies, post surgeries, mischievous kitties and extra needy pets of all kinds ☺️ years of working with horses, living with my anxious chihuahua mix, and helping to raise the chunky pitties in my life has prepared me for almost every situation. I’ll keep a cool head and stick to your instructions while showering lots of love on your furry family member. I grew up around cats, dogs, horses, and birds! My love for animals knows no bounds, and I’m always the one getting distracted by a cute dog on the sidewalk (or TikTok). I’ve had great experiences booking care for my own dog through Rover, and I understand how hard it can be to find and trust the right person when we have to be away from them! My hope is that we can work together and create the best plan for keeping your furry kids happy and safe. I keep communication open and often so that we are all comfortable and on the same page. I pay attention and meet your pet where they’re at so we can build our own trusting and loving bond. I work remotely from home, so I can be flexible to meet your needs. My partner and I work together to ensure our own dogs are cared for, comfortable, and get lots of sniffing time outside. I’d love to speak with you about the best way to accommodate your schedule. I prefer to meet with you and your pet before scheduling a service to ensure that everyone is comfortable. I like to take the opportunity to ask any clarifying questions and walk through expectations so that there are no gray areas about the best ways to care for your pet and keep them safe.

About: I am currently going to school to be a vet tech, and have had years of experience working with animals of all shapes, sizes, and temperaments! I’m comfortable with any dog breed and energy level! I have a super energetic dog at home and I’m confident that if I can handle her, I can handle any dog! I currently work full time at a veterinary office but take an hour long lunch to come home and care for my dog, and yours too! Me and my dog enjoy walks before/after work, playing in our large backyard, and she loves learning new tricks, she is very playful and would love a buddy from time to time! I have a dog at home and have taken care of cats, I’m very comfortable with cleaning up after them and interacting with them. I have a VERY energetic dog so I understand high maintenance pets well! I’m comfortable with crating animals or any other training request the owner may have as well :)

Our first time using rover and I could not have picked a better or more communicative sitter. Jessica had an unfortunate interaction with my dog. He was frightened and unexpectedly aggressive and bit her while she was harnessing him to go potty. Im mortified that this happened, and hope this doesn't affect her ability to trust other pups. She was great at giving immediate feedback, messaging my emergency contact (because i was out of range of service). Her communication let me know how to prevent an accident in the future. Service was very thorough and appreciated.

Kay is wonderful! Super communicative, kind, and trustworthy. Best compliment for a pet sitter is when the pet is barely excited to see their owner when they return because they were so well loved, and my cat had obviously been given great care and attention from Kay and was totally normal and regulated when we got home. Thanks so much for everything, Kay!!! Toaster and we appreciate you!!

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.
