“Erick did a great job taking care of our cat following my wife's exacting food prep standards over several days while we were away. We had an intro meeting ahead of our planned visits, and after that we had an unexpected change of plans and he was able to accommodate a different schedule on short notice. He was on time, responsive, and dependable. He played with the cat, fed him, changed his water, and cleaned his litterbox. Erick also went above and beyond, ie he brought in packages left on the porch and pulled in the trash container from the curb after the weekly pickup. Highly recommended.”

She was diligent and thorough in asking about Nala's routine, kept us updated throughout the week on her wellbeing and it was clear that Nala was very relaxed and happy with her. We will definitely be asking Lisbeth for any future catsitting needs 🙂”

She also sent plenty of photos and updates,, so we had a really good sense of how the cats were doing while we were away. That made a big difference to us.We would hire Megan again without hesitation and recommend her highly.”

5 stars! We had such a wonderful experience with Jenn. She was reliable, caring, and very attentive to our cat while we were away. She kept us updated with messages and photos, which gave us great peace of mind. Our cat can be a little shy at first, but she was very patient and respectful of her space. We came home to a happy and well-cared-for kitty. We really appreciate everything she did and would definitely recommend her to other pet parents!

We made last-minute plans and were worried about finding pet care until we met Rachel! Her prompt reply to our inquiry and willingness to meet with us before the trip put us completely at ease—we left for the weekend feeling confident our pets were in great hands. With each drop-in, Rachel sent detailed, thoughtful messages and photos, so there was never a doubt about how well cared for our two dogs and cat were. She was precise, professional, and clearly took the time to understand each of our animals' personalities and needs. Communication was clear and consistent throughout, and it was obvious Rachel genuinely cared. We'd recommend her without hesitation and will absolutely book her again.

Erick did a great job with the drop in visit with my 3 cats. My one cat needed oral medication and he was able to do that for me. He was also available last minute which was a huge help for me.

Heather was a wonderful sitter for our two cats, who we found happy and healthy after one of the longest periods we've ever left them in a sitter's care. We also returned to a clean house with our mail and packages brought inside. Thank you, Heather.

FAQs for Cat Sitting - Emerson

Frequently asked questions about Rover

The average cost for Cat Sitting in Emerson on Rover is $21.8 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 12,384 sitters on Rover offering Cat Sitting across Emerson. 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 Emerson. On Rover:

  • 87% of sitters can help with special care needs
  • 92% can help with giving oral medications or injections
  • 96% 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.
