“Cate was punctual and met our expectations. While it was sad to leave our kitties for a week, Cate made us feel at home with them by daily updates, ensuring they are in good hands. We definitely will rehire her in the future”

“Valerie has watched my kitty, Sammy, three times now. She shows up as promised and sends me photos of my sweet boy. She doesn’t hesitate to contact me with questions or to reassure that Sammy is fine. I’d recommend Valerie to anyone looking for a reliable pet sitter.”

About: I grew up with cats and have helped care for friends and family's pets for overnights. I drive for animal rescues to help save animals at risk of euthanasia. Most of my recent experience is with puppies and adult dogs but feel confident I can help with most any pet. I am a huge animal lover and can't wait to meet you and your pets. I have varied availability to care for pets with walks, drop ins, and overnights. I have kept animals in my home for friends and family. I have also stayed with animals in their home. I can administer meds but not injections.

About: I socialized and walked shelter dogs for 5 years, fostered kittens for 3 years, and fostered squirrels for 2 years. From childhood, I was an animal rescuer, domestic and wildlife. I’ve had my dog 9 years and have had many wonderful cats, a rabbit and a bearded dragon. I offer care for any animal species. I have a very flexible schedule with most hours available. I can visit up to 3 times per day, and most likely stay as long as you’d like. I can also do up to 3 walks per day also. I can probably arrange to keep your dog-walking and pet-feeding schedules. I closely follow your directions, and let shy and fearful animals choose when to interact. I clean any messes asap, ensure clean water is available, and give your pet as much attention (play, pets, talking, walking, love) as they want for the time we schedule. At my home, pets may roam inside where they desire. Outside, dogs will be leashed. I can separate your and my dog if helpful. My gentle dog isn’t interested in cats. He has peacefully shared me and our home with 4 cats, 3 dogs, and and a bearded dragon.

About: I have previously volunteered at a rescue for 10 years. I have fostered many animals for the rescue and kept some of those as well. I can handle almost anything. I've also had my fair share of special needs animals, so I'm comfortable handling pets whose needs are out of the ordinary. I've also worked with and owned most types of animals ranging from a few weeks old to 20+ years, so I can provide care to very young or very old animals. I just graduated college and am currently between jobs, so I am at home working on my fixer-upper apartment all day. My schedule is entirely flexible! I will be available almost all waking hours of the day. I can stop in on your schedule to provide care and walks, or just stay over to give the pets round the clock care. I will make sure that your pet stays happy and healthy while in my care!

About: Reliable, Compassionate Care from Someone Who Truly Gets It As a pet parent myself, especially to a senior dog who needs a gentler pace and extra attention, I understand how important it is to have a sitter who treats your dog like family. That personal experience shapes the way I walk, support, and connect with every dog in my care. Puppy Training Support — I reinforce basic commands, leash manners, and positive behaviors to help young dogs build confidence. Senior Dog Expertise — Caring for my own senior dog has taught me how to adjust pacing, provide joint‑friendly routes, manage medications, and offer the calm reassurance older pups need. Behavior‑Sensitive Handling — I’m patient with shy, anxious, or reactive dogs and use gentle techniques to help them feel secure. Safety‑First Approach — Harness checks, safe routes, and attentive supervision are always part of my routine. Consistent Communication — You’ll receive updates, photos, and notes after every walk so you always know how your dog is doing. Pet care fits naturally into my weekly routine because I already structure my days around caring for my own senior dog. I’m used to planning walks, medication reminders, feeding times, and calm downtime, so integrating additional pet visits is a seamless part of my day. I offer flexible scheduling with dedicated blocks set aside for morning, midday, and early‑evening walks. This helps ensure your dog receives consistent attention without rushed visits or unpredictable timing. Because I maintain a steady routine at home, I’m able to provide: Reliable daily availability — Morning and midday walks are part of my everyday rhythm, making it easy to accommodate regular clients. Structured weekly planning — I map out my schedule in advance so each pet gets focused, unrushed care. Consistency for senior dogs — My experience caring for my own senior dog means I understand how important predictable routines are for older pups. Flexibility for busy owners — I can adjust visit times within reasonable windows to match your workday or travel plans. Dedicated attention — I never overbook; each walk or visit is scheduled with enough time to give your dog the calm, patient care they deserve. Routine consistency — I follow your feeding, walking, and medication schedule exactly as you outline it. Secure entry & exit — Doors, gates, and harnesses are double‑checked before every walk. Calm, respectful presence — I move slowly, speak gently, and let your dog approach at their comfort level. Clean, tidy care — Water bowls are refreshed, messes are cleaned promptly, and your home is left exactly as I found it. Photo updates — You’ll receive notes and pictures so you always know how your dog is doing.

“I would give her 20 stars if I could!! I was in an emergency situation and needed help fast. She was at my house in 10 minutes!! I could not have asked for better care of my cats. She sent pictures and updates. I did not worry about them. She allowed me to come and visit also. My fur babies were played with and not stuck in a cage like at other boarding places. I highly recommend her and will definitely use her again if needed. BEST CARE EVER!!!”

About: I have been around animals all of my life. Currently have a 15 year old senior dog. I work from home and can have more flexibility in the day to check on your babies. I know how hard it is to go on vacation or step away while worrying about your animal(s) at home. I love being able to help take those worries away! I work from home and can do drop in visits throughout the day and have full availability on weekends. I am also open to overnight needs. Our furry loved ones are our family, and I treat each as they are my own. I am the type of pet parent that leaves multiple notes, asks for pictures, etc. I know how stressful it is finding a sitter who you can truly trust, it is my goal to be exactly that.

About: I've been around cats and dogs of various sizes and personalities since I was very young. I have pet- and house-sat for friends and family for many years now, and it is a genuine joy to spoil their pets rotten. I have owned and pet-sat senior dogs and cats many times, and I have a decent amount of experience with oral medication. I get along great with pets of all kinds of temperaments—shy, excited, grumpy, calm, anxious—and I am not afraid to sit for pets with "difficult" temperaments, just let me know beforehand. I am an at-home writer and content creator, so I have flexible hours and can work from anywhere with an internet connection. I am my own boss, so I can easily cater to your schedule. As a proud introvert and work-from-home writer, I would spend the majority of my time with your pets at your home in a quiet, calm environment. I can easily follow instructions about your pets' normal routines while giving them lots of snuggles and pets, so they can stay loved and cared for without interruption.

About: I love all animals! I have been pet-sitting since I was in elementary school. I currently have two tuxedo cats, one of which has to be given medicine twice a day, so I am comfortable with medication administration. I recently graduated from Physician Associate School and I am waiting for the credentialing process to be completed before starting my job! So i have plenty of time to take care of your animals! I care for every pet as if they were my own while also respecting each client’s home, routines, and instructions. I make sure pets are fed on schedule, have fresh water, receive any approved medications, get appropriate exercise and potty breaks, and have plenty of attention and companionship. I also keep their environment clean by tidying food areas, cleaning up accidents, and maintaining litter boxes or other pet spaces as needed.

About: As a dog mom of ten years, I’m very familiar with senior care, medication administration, and general care for dogs. I am very communicative and want you to feel at ease knowing your pet is getting the best quality of care. My dog had special needs and required a lot of attention and care, especially as a senior. I’ll always treat your pup like my own. I also have experience across the board with cats, rabbits, and ferrets. I love all creatures and can’t wait to meet yours! My availability varies week to week as I am a medical student. I will always do my best to accommodate your timeframe and take the best care of your fur baby. I am happy to consider transporting animals and taking care of them in my home. I have a large back and front yard ready for zoomies. I also have reliable transportation to and from your home and local parks so your fur baby can get enough attention and exercise while you are away!

FAQs for Cat Sitting - Hardy

Frequently asked questions about Rover

The average cost for Cat Sitting in Hardy on Rover is $19.98 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 385 sitters on Rover offering Cat Sitting across Hardy. 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 Hardy. On Rover:

  • 94% of sitters can help with special care needs
  • 97% can help with giving oral medications or injections
  • 100% 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.
