“Rebecca was amazing! Such a great sitter that obviously just cares for the pups and their wellbeing! Loved the communication and daily notes for each visit! Really grateful I found her on such short notice.”
“Stevie is the most fantastic, and caring person! She goes above and beyond, taking care of my my dog. I will recommend her to anyone! I had a family emergency and had to fly out to California to take care of my elderly father, and the care that she is giving my sweet little girl, is more than I could have ever imagined! She is treating my dog with the utmost care, and love. I could not have ever found anyone else to be there for dog like Stevie has. 5 stars is not enough. She deserves a million stars!”
“Thanks for all you have done for my babies. Oreo can be a handful at times. House and litter boxes look good. If you need a reference just let me know. Just a little extra. Thanks Leslie”
About: I've cared for animals since I was very young, around 8 years old. I have worked with large and small dogs, providing all service needs such as bathing, playing, feeding, and medicinal needs. I am away from work for the summer, so I will have plenty of time and energy to give to your lovely pets! I can attend to them any time between 5am and 10 pm. I will take all aspects of your home into account when caring for your pet(s). This includes comfortable spots such as warm lighting, cool spots in front of/on air units, toy locations, and any areas to avoid (for large dogs I would be looking for things such as sharp corners on countertops and small objects that can potentially be swallowed and for smaller dogs I would look for potential ledges or obstacles in their way or small objects within reach).

“I highly recommend Olivia! She is reliable, responsible, and truly kind. She followed all the instructions, kept me updated, and took great care of both my cat and my home. Everything was clean and tidy when I returned. Most importantly, my cat loves her! She clearly cares about animals and takes the time to build trust with them. Knowing my cat was happy and well cared for made all the difference. I feel lucky to have found such a dependable and caring cat sitter. I will definitely book her again in the future!”
“Mikayla L. did a good job with my 5 "babies". I got updates on my "babies" every time she was there. Oreo and Nicodemus came to her for tummy and back rubs. I appreciated her hard work. I would like to use her services again. Sincerely. Leslie M.”

Frequently asked questions about Rover
The average cost for Cat Sitting in Effingham on Rover is $23.12 per visit (as of June 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 .
Rover is the largest marketplace for local pet care. Whether you're looking for pet sitters, dog walkers, or house sitters who specialize in pet sitting, you can narrow your search by entering your ZIP code to find sitters within walking distance in your neighborhood.
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.
