“Derek did a wonderful job taking care of our cats! He was very professional, reliable, and kept us updated throughout the visits. We really appreciated the photos he sent, which gave us peace of mind knowing the cats were happy and well taken care of. We would definitely recommend Derek and would be happy to have him take care of our cats again!”
“Marianne was amazing! Exactly what we were looking for. She is very caring and attentive, we felt we could count on her and that our cat was in great hands. I will book her again next time we are away from home. Thank you so much for the great service! :)”
“Absolutely wonderful experience! Estefania was so sweet, attentive, and patient — the cats instantly felt comfortable around her, which says a lot. She handled everything with such care and warmth. I felt completely at ease knowing they were in such loving hands. Highly recommend her to anyone looking for someone truly special to care for their pets!”
“I was so nervous about using Rover for the first time but Deborah was so nice and understanding. She sent me the cutest pictures and videos of my baby to let me know exactly what was going on everyday. She also went above and beyond and got my mail for me, took beretta for walks, and even cleaned the living room for me to return home. I could not recommend her more to anyone else!!”
“Robin is amazing! We were worried about leaving Jagger for a week while we were on vacation, but Robin put us at ease. She was on time every day. She played with Jagger and sent us pictures. We will definitely use Robin again in the future!!”
“Most pet parents can agree it can be challenging to find someone you can trust to take care of your pet/fur baby for you. However, Alyssa was very attentive and did an excellent job taking care of my cat while I was away for a week.”
“I couldn't ask for better care for my cat Oliver. He is a very nervous shy guy but Kimmeth sent me a very thorough update with pictures everyday which was so comforting. She is really the best!!!”
“Overall, Nicole did a wonderul job looking after my two cats. She arrived on time, informed every step of way and even sent me pictures. I would definitely use her services anytime I have to take a trip.”
“Sara has been so amazing for Yoshi and Kirby. She went above and beyond providing them with so much love, kindness, and affection while I was away on my trip. This was the first time I was actually not worried while they were under her care. She even spent more time with them than required to make sure they did not feel too much if any separation anxiety filled with lots of cuddles, as anyone with Pugs knows they are glued to their humans at all times :). From the detailed Rover cards, super cute pics, and constant clear communication, Sara has been so wonderful. We will definitely continue to have Sara watch over the boys when needed. Thank you again ❤️, the boys love you!!”
“I am super blessed that I found Dawn! She takes care of my cat in the best way possible and also gives her medicine that my cat is on! Dawn is the best!”
“Mara is extremely attentive to my Samoyed, Bianca🤍. Mara is always letting me know about her behaviors, her bathroom use, and her appetite. It is wonderful to have someone who cares so much taking care of Bianca🤍! Thank you Mara!”
“Kelly is so great with my puppy! She has great communication and sends the cutest pictures!! She also takes great care of my home while she is there.”
“Billi provided an exceptional experience caring for my two cats, Mimi and Pin-get, and I cannot recommend her highly enough. Mimi is my 9-year-old tuxedo cat and is normally very shy around new people, so I was amazed when she immediately felt comfortable with Billi during the meet and greet. That moment alone reassured me that Billi truly has a natural connection with animals. During each drop-in visit, Billi kept me consistently updated with photos and videos, which meant so much to me. Seeing Mimi happily sitting on her lap and watching both of my fur babies interacting comfortably with her made my heart smile and gave me complete peace of mind while I was away. Billi is professional, reliable, attentive, and genuinely caring. She clearly takes the time to ensure pets feel safe, comfortable, and loved. Her communication and thoughtful updates made the entire experience stress-free. If you are looking for someone trustworthy who will care for your pets as if they were her own, I highly recommend Billi. I will absolutely be booking her again for future visits with Mimi and Pin-get.”
“Vadim and Anastasiia are the best! Always giving great updates when checking in on our cats and overall very caring when watching over the cats! Really recommend them!! Thank you so much!”
“Alyssa was incredible with the pups. I had a last minute trip and she came to the rescue in a short notice. Not only that, she went above and beyond with the 4 dogs and gave them all the care they needed. To my luck she is near by so I will be definitely using her services more often. Highly recommend 💯”

I couldn’t have asked for a better sitter! Agustina was so sweet with my cats, and you could tell from the pictures and updates that they loved having her there. She kept me updated every visit and gave me so much peace of mind while I was away. My cats looked so happy in every photo. I’d absolutely trust her to watch them again!
Alex did an amazing job with my two cats! She sent thoughtful daily updates with lots of photos, which gave me so much peace of mind while I was away. She kept the litter box clean, made sure they always had fresh food and water, and clearly took great care of them. I came home to happy, well cared for cats and couldn’t have asked for a better experience. Highly recommend!
Nicole was amazing. I’m new to the app so I kept messing up my bookings, texted her last minute and she was there for my babies with in 20 minutes! Communicated so much, sent plenty of photos, and I can see in the photos that my anxiety ridden pup felt comfy with her. Thank you Nicole!
Came home from our long trip to a happy and healthy kitty. I’ve never used Rover before but Dawn was amazing and will be our go to for any future trips. She was always on schedule and had a consistent routine that gave our cat a sense of stability while we were away. Dawn took great care to make sure everything was taken care of with detailed report cards and pics after each visit. Would highly recommend! She’s awesome!
Liraz is the best! She is 1000% reliable and responsive, communicates frequently and shares updates and pics. Our cat is always happy to see her and I have complete peace of mind knowing that our cat is truly loved and cared for. Liraz goes above and beyond in her care!
Marcos took great care of my mom’s cats while we were away. He was attentive, kind, and very reliable throughout the entire booking. He made sure the cats were well cared for, sent plenty of photos and updates, and was always quick to respond whenever I reached out with a question. It gave us a lot of peace of mind knowing the cats were being looked after by someone responsible and caring. Everything was done exactly as promised, and the communication was excellent from start to finish. We would absolutely book with Marcos again and highly recommend him to anyone looking for a dependable pet sitter.

Frequently asked questions about Rover
The average cost for Cat Sitting in Fort Lauderdale on Rover is $23.31 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 3,174 sitters on Rover offering Cat Sitting across Fort Lauderdale. 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 Fort Lauderdale. On Rover:
- 90% of sitters can help with special care needs

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.
