“Doug was great with the kitties and sent amazingly detailed reports and so many funny pictures! The cats really grew to love Doug over just a few days of visits and we felt so assured that they were being well taken care of the entire time we were gone.”
“Sydney was great with all of our kitties, including giving medication and extra TLC! She was communicative and willing to do anything needed. (She was also wonderful with our dogs, who traveled with us, but loved meeting her!)”
“New to this platform. Juliana provided both scheduled and emergency cat sitting for our 2 cats. She was very responsive, helpful and informative. We felt we could trust her at all times and we will definitely love to recommend her and book her again.”
“Anna Naomi took care of my dog Chloe while I was on vacation and she was amazing. Great communication, flexible schedule, attentive to every detail on the care instructions. My dog enjoyed her company and felt comfortable with Anna Naomi while I was away. I highly recommend Anna Naomi to take care of your fur baby.”
“Rosemary is a fantastic pet sitter. She took incredible care of our cat and he loved every visit. She had excellent communication, gave us detailed updates on our cat, and went above and beyond to understand our and our cats needs, including feeding, supplement, toy, treat, litter and other needs. We would absolutely work with her again.”
“We had an amazing experience so kind, caring and loving to our fur babies and fishies! Would totally have her watch our animals again and would recommend to anyone!”
About: I’ve been caring for dogs since I was 10 years old. Taking care of pets is something I truly enjoy and do with love and attention. Family, friends, and neighbors have trusted me to walk, feed, play with, and bathe their dogs for years. I’m comfortable with dogs of all sizes and ages, and I treat every pet like part of the family. Pet care is part of my everyday life. I enjoy caring for animals and easily make time in my routine to walk, feed, and give them attention. I care for pets by following their usual routine as closely as possible. I make sure they’re fed on time, walked regularly, and given lots of love and attention. Whether in my home or the client’s, I keep the environment safe, clean, and comfortable.
“Anna was fantastic with my cat! She did drop in visits as well as house sitting. I got daily updates and photos and felt like she took such good care of him. I’m typically very anxious when I leave my cat, but I felt so relaxed when Anna was there. Would highly recommend Anna to take care of your pets!”
About: When I was younger, I volunteered at the SPCA with my Mom, which led to walking my neighbor's dog after school. I would also walk and feed her dog a few times a day for multiple days while she was on work trips. I always enjoy playing with and loving my friend's dogs. I have been a dog lover my whole life but have never been able to have a dog of my own because of my family that I live with. This leaves me with lots of dog love for your furry friends. I am an online college student, so I make my own schedule. I am available most weekdays at various times and welcome the break in my school work to love on your furry friends. I love going on walks, and know many routes of varying lengths fully side-walked around this area. There is also a park nearby where your pet can run. I am committed to respecting your space and instructions while caring for your pet and will send you a report and picture after each of my visits. Additionally, I have reliable transportation and am committed to showing up when expected.
“Amber is a fantastic sitter. She is friendly, very responsible, responsive and communicative. I felt my cats were well cared for and really it eased my worries during my trip. I will hire her again!”
“I can’t thank Mani enough, she’s fabulous! So detail oriented, she went over and beyond on my expectations. Great communication! I will definitely use her services again and I highly recommend her! Thank you so much for everything! My babies were in good hands!”
About: What sets me apart is the genuine love, patience, and compassion I bring to caring for every animal. I understand that pets are family, and I believe they deserve the same kindness, attention, and respect we give our loved ones. With my background in health and wellness, I naturally bring a calm, nurturing, and attentive presence to everything I do. Whether it’s a fun walk, playtime, cuddles, or simply keeping your pet company, I take the time to understand their unique personality and needs. My goal is to make your furry family member feel safe, happy, and loved while giving you peace of mind knowing they’re in caring, dependable hands. I currently work for myself so my schedule is pretty flexible during the week. With at least one day notice I can make a drop in or a walk happen! I can walk your dog safely in your neighborhood or drop in for a play session. Or maybe a zoomie session with your cat. I love sending check in photos to give you peace of mind. Happy to follow any and all care routines that are set.
“Thank you so much for taking such wonderful care of my cats while I was away! I especially appreciate you going above and beyond to help with the faulty fire alarm that kept going off. What could have been an incredibly stressful situation was so much easier knowing they were in such good hands. I’m so grateful for your kindness, flexibility, and care! 🩷🩷”
About: I have fostered and owned pets of many types of breeds and sizes. I currently have a dog, 20 lbs, a spaniel poodle mix, and 2 cats who are my parents and my cat who I love but is meant to be an only child lol, so I’m trying to save up to move him out with me I am currently between jobs, so I have a flexible schedule and can dedicate plenty of time and attention to your pets. I can accommodate walks, drop-in visits, and pet sitting based on your needs and my availability as my work schedule develops. I live alone in a townhouse with my cat, Timmy, so I understand the importance of creating a safe, comfortable environment for pets. I follow each owner’s care instructions closely, including feeding schedules, medication instructions when applicable, exercise needs, and household routines. I prioritize cleanliness, supervision, and clear communication, and I always want pets to feel secure and cared for while their owners are away. For boarding, I would discuss your pet’s needs and compatibility with my cat ahead of time to help ensure a safe and comfortable stay.
About: I've been working with animals since I was 18, when I began volunteering with my local humane society, where I assisted with feeding, cleaning, socializing, and handling animals. I went on to work as a veterinary assistant at an animal clinic/hospital, where I learned more about handling animals and administering medications for cats and dogs. I no longer work at a veterinary office because I'm currently in an online bachelor's degree program that makes a traditional full-time job difficult to manage. But my schooling is incredibly flexible and I love working with animals, so part-time pet care is perfect for me! I have done pet-sitting for cats and dogs in the past, but I am also comfortable working with fish (I had a beloved betta fish in high school). I am definitely open to caring for other animals, but I would need additional instruction to compensate for my inexperience. I have particular experience with special needs animals because my own cat, Birdie, has hind limb paresis. She scoots around instead of walking, wears diapers, and has daily oral medication. "Special needs" encompasses a wide range of conditions, so I won't pretend to know how to care for all disabled animals but my personal experience provides me with the patience and flexibility to learn about the particular needs of your pet. I'm currently in a flexible online degree program that allows me to shape my schedule around my clients. Pet care through rover offers me supplemental income and ensures that I get out of the house regularly! I understand that every animal is different, so I don't have a universal approach to pet-sitting. I believe enrichment is essential to an animal's wellbeing and I incorporate that into my pet care. I make sure to take time to play with pets as well as feed, walk, or clean after them.
About: I’ve cared for my roommates’ two dogs while they were at work during the day. We’d spend time relaxing together, watching TV, going for runs, and practicing basic commands like “paw” and “sit.” I really enjoyed getting to know each dog individually and learning their unique personalities, needs, habits, and learning styles. While I’ve never personally owned a dog, I’ve always loved caring for and walking my friends’ dogs whenever they need someone they can trust. I currently work from home so I have a very open and flexible schedule! I enjoy walking pets just as much as I love laying around with them. Especially when the weather is nice I can turn our walks into a longer stroll. I would love the opportunity to be a friendly, dependable, and caring sitter and walker for your pets! 🐾❤️ I live in a one bedroom apartment with an upstairs loft and additional outdoor balcony with more than enough room and furniture for your fur baby to roam and relax on. My complex includes a dog park along with a nearby shady trail for walks.

Cat parents share their Rover experiences - Genlee
Writing Allie did a wonderful job taking care of Leo. Her communication skills are fantastic and really helped put my mind at ease, especially since this was our first experience with Rover. We would definitely recommend Allie and would love to have her take care of Leo again in the future\!
Joy was an absolute pleasure! Kind, adaptive, and absolutely reliable. This was our first time hiring a pet sitter since moving, and we were a little nervous about trusting someone we hadn’t met or heard about through word of mouth. But after coming across Joy’s profile and reading her wonderful reviews, we decided to book her, and we’re so glad we did! Joy came over to meet our cats, and not only was she incredibly sweet with them, but she was also very thorough in asking about their individual needs, routines, and anything else important to their care. While we were away, she kept us updated with lots of fantastic pictures, which really put our minds at ease and made missing our babies a little easier! We couldn’t be happier with our experience. We’ll definitely be booking Joy again in the future, and we highly recommend her to anyone looking for an attentive and trustworthy pet sitter!
Tori did yet another absolutely phenomenal job taking care of our cats while we were on a trip! She went above and beyond for us, was extremely communicative and our cats were sooo happy to see her again. Thank you so much! We look forward to booking with you again in the future!
Lindsay has been the absolute best! We've never had a cat sitter before and we were very nervous leaving our girl but Lindsay made us so comfortable from the very first visit. She took the most adorable photos while we were away and it was very clear that our cat wasn't missing us too much because she was getting lots of loving from Lindsay ❤️
Bianca was a great sitter for my two cats and was very thorough and asked great questions about their specific needs. She was always very communicative, took videos and pictures of my cats whenever I requested and made each of them feel safe and comfortable while I was away. She went above and beyond for my pets and I would definitely book her again.
Seth went above and beyond taking care of my Lucy! He quickly learned her likes and dislikes and formed a sweet friendship with her. He even did some extra work so we wouldn’t have to worry about anything on the day we got home. I’ll definitely reach out to Seth again and I’m sure Lucy will be excited to see him!

The average cost of Cat Sitting in Genlee is $20 per visit as of November 2026. Most bookings cost between $14 and $30 per visit. On Rover, sitters set their own rates based on factors such as their experience, the length of care, the number of pets, and your pet’s specific needs. As long as your booking dates and pet profiles are accurate, the price shown before you confirm is the total, including any booking fee.

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 casual meeting to vet potential sitters and communicate care needs for peace of mind before a booking begins. Only sitters who have never booked with you before can schedule a Meet & Greet on Rover; however, you are welcome to coordinate one in Rover messages with sitters you have previously booked. This can be helpful if you have a new pet or routine you want to go over with your sitter.
Meet & Greets can take place in person or virtually. If you are booking with a sitter for the first time, we recommend in-person Meet & Greets to get a clearer sense of how your sitter interacts with your pet 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. Meet & Greets are a great way to prepare your pet and sitter for longer stays or first-time bookings. Read our tips for your first Meet & Greet.

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 contact information. Sitters may set a same-day, one-, three-, or seven-day cancellation policy. Cancelling within your sitter’s cancellation policy qualifies you for a full refund.
Same-day cancellations for recurring services, which include walks, drop-ins, and day care, follow the full refund policy. Otherwise, for pet boarding and house sitting, if you cancel after 12 pm on the applicable cancellation deadline, you’ll receive a 50% refund for the first seven days of the booking and a 100% refund for any remaining days.
If your sitter needs to cancel within seven days of the booking's start date, then our reservation protection will kick in. This means you will get a full refund and our support team will work with you to find a replacement sitter.
