Maia took wonderful care of our cat, Princess Leia, while we were out of town for four days. She was an excellent communicator, keeping us updated and giving us peace of mind that everything was going smoothly. When we returned home, both our house and our cat were clearly well cared for. Princess Leia was happy to see us, but she also seemed calm, relaxed, and content, which is always the best sign that she's been in good hands. Maia's drop-in visits gave us confidence that our cat was getting the attention and care she needed while we were away. We would absolutely trust Maia with our home and pets again and highly recommend her to anyone looking for a reliable, thoughtful, and caring pet sitter.

About: I have always had animals in my life from the time I was a child until I got my very own to love and care for. I have experience with dogs of all sizes and breeds. I also have extensive experience with cats, bunnies and hamsters too. I will love and care for any animal as if they were my own. I am currently between careers, so I will have plenty of time to care for your animals any day of the week! I also offer multi-day care for those times you may be out of town and need someone to care for your fur baby. I offer in-home care for your animals so they will feel safe in their natural environment. I can adapt to their comfort levels and ensure they have a clean, safe space in your home to reduce stress.

Amber does a wonderful job with our boys! She is attentive to their needs, observant of their play preferences, and learned their unique personality quirks quickly. She followed our directions about food, water, litter, playtime, etc. to the letter!We are impressed, and our cats clearly feel safe and comfortable with her. We're definitely booking her in the future!

About: As a proud parent to a friendly, social 5 month old Pembroke Welsh Corgi puppy, I understand what keeps dogs truly happy. I focus on complete engagement—combining active toy play with fun mental puzzles to tire out both their body and brain. You'll always get clear check-ins and high-quality photo updates so you can see your pup thriving! Since I work with a flexible daily schedule, pet care is built directly into my late-morning, afternoon, and evening routines. Having a high-energy puppy of my own means active walks, playtime, and structured care are already natural parts of my everyday life. Whether it's mid-day drop-ins, afternoon walks, or evening play sessions, I seamlessly integrate client visits into my day so every pet gets dedicated, uninterrupted focus. Your pup is treated like family in the comfort of their own home! I provide a safe, cozy, and familiar environment where they can relax on the couch, play with interactive toys, and enjoy fun mental puzzles. With clear routines, plenty of supervised play, and attentive care, your pet gets all the love and structure they need while you're away.

About: Update: 1. We just bought a kiddie pool for dogs! If your pet gets over heated in the summer and enjoys water time, they can enjoy the dog pool in our backyard. (: Update 2: We are fully booked for the rest of 2026. Accepting bookings only if there are any cancelations or else- beginning Jan 2027. Thank you. 💜 We have a massive fenced in backyard for dogs and playtime for cats will be indoors. For dogs, we're happy to give them 4 walks a day and lots of playtime and fetch in the fenced-in backyard. For cats- we have a huge bay window overlooking a bird feeder so cats can soak in the sun and spend their time watching the birdies. We do not put any fur babies in crates unless you specifically ask us to (we do not own crates so you will have to provide one). This is not our full time job nor income, we're doing this because we LOVE animals so at our home, your pet will feel like its their vacation time! They'll have plenty of indoor and outdoor space to run around and be happy and comfortable! We also do not accept more than 1 booking at a time. 2 dogs from the same family are welcome but we don't accept multiple bookings from different households at the same time. We do not want our home to feel crowded and we do not want the dogs and cats to feel overwhelmed so you can always be assured that our house will feel like a mini stress free vacation for your pets! (: We will need you to provide everything your pet will need for their stay including food bowl, water bowl, toys/treats, food and most importantly- medications if needed. For Doggy day care: if we are doing doggy day care, we will only be taking one dog at a time, or 2 dogs from the same family. We want to ensure that the pet has a fun time while away from their fav human for a few hours, and simultaneously we want to have stress free work days (: Thank you! (: We work from home full time so we are available for walks, and playtime in the fenced-in backyard. We also love dogs and cats so they're welcome to join us in our bed for all naps! We have two cats of our own but they will have no interaction with your dog/cat; when we are sitting your pets our cats will be in the basement (which is their fav place in the house anyway). If you're reaching out to us about cat sitting, please also ensure that you're willing to provide litter.

About: I love doggos and have had Puppers since he was born, and Freckles for 2 years. Both dogs have high energy, so I’ve learned how to handle energetic dogs and provide healthy outlets. I enjoy long walks/hikes through parks and trails, and also have a fenced-in yard. Your fur-baby will get plenty of fresh air and exercise with me. I recently quit my full time job to pursue work outside of an office, so I will be fully dedicated to your dog while they’re with me. I have open availability to walk and play with your pets too! I am creative, energetic, caring, and responsible, so I will meet all of your pet’s needs in a holistic and loving manner. Im a full-time student, taking online classes during the week, so I have a lot of free time and flexibility to care for your pets. I have a fenced in yard and and two friendly dogs to keep your dog company. I’ll make sure your dog’s collar and leash are on correctly before walks and im mindful of our surroundings while I walk.

Ellen was very responsive, and agreed to check in on our kitties even without much advance knowledge for a holiday weekend. She made a separate trip to run through where the litter boxes and water bowls and treats were so that she was prepared when she was stopping by. We really appreciated her thoroughness!

Cayla was wonderful! We needed a last minute rover after the first one we contacted didn’t work out. She was extremely accommodating and did a meet and greet basically the same day we messaged her. She took notes and was willing to take on 3 orange kitties each with different food needs. Cayla arrived each day right on time, she was very punctual. She provided us with plenty of updates and photos, we were more than satisfied returning home knowing our babies were well looked after. We will absolutely be contacting her for any future needs while we are out of town. Thanks again so much!

Jessica was a fabulous caretaker of my frail CKD kitty. She followed all of my instructions to a "T" and shared daily updates and photos of Max Kitty. Sadly, Max has since passed away. I'm comforted knowing that Jessica provided such tender care near the end of Max's life when I had to leave town on short notice. I'd definitely recommend Jessica to care for any pet.

FAQs for Drop-In Visits - Golden Valley

Frequently asked questions about Rover

The average cost for Cat Sitting in Golden Valley on Rover is $27.75 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 2,880 sitters on Rover offering Cat Sitting across Golden Valley. 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 Golden Valley. On Rover:

  • 93% of sitters can help with special care needs
  • 97% can help with giving oral medications or injections
  • 98% 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.
