“Maura is caring, responsible, conscientious, and respectful about my pets and apartment. She was also punctual (coming on short notice), and observant about my cats letting me know of any issues. She will be my go-to pet sitter while I travel for work!! I cannot say enough good things about her awesome caring nature!”

About: I have pet sit for multiple friends and family members. People would describe me as responsible and reliable! As an educator for over 10 years I am a natural caretaker! I am a teacher so my typical schedule during the week is leaving the house by 7, home by 3:30-4 most days, more flexibility on weekends and holidays/breaks. My home has a doggy door for my roommates’ two (friendly) dogs. I make sure to care for her pets as if they were my own, walks, checking water and food.

“Rachel was so thoughtful and patient with our foster cat Jessie, who can be a bit shy with new people. Rachel kept us updated with her progress. Jessie felt comfortable with Rachel towards the end to ask for pets and eat and take treats around her. Hopefully Jessie will be adopted soon but I’m sure she would love to have Rachel’s company again!”

“I was extremely impressed with Monica, starting with our Meet and Greet. She listened to everything I said and asked great questions. During the visits, she was able to get my cats to come out of hiding after just a couple of days, and made efforts to play with them and accommodate their requests to go out on the porch. I loved receiving all the pictures and videos. Everything was done as requested, and I am very happy! I would recommend Monica to anyone needing a great Pet Sitter!”

“Angelica did an amazing job taking care of my 3 cats when I was away from 5 days! She spent time hanging out with my kitties and took lots of great pictures. My cats are so comfortable with her on day 1. They became great friends on day 3 already. Angelica is also always very responsive to my messages. Definitely recommend her to take care of your pets, especially cats!”

“This was our first time using Rover. Victoria had already had a visit to meet our 3 fur babies and they liked her immediately. She did a drop in visit and I was pleased to get a report that even our outside dog who is typically leary of strangers, greeted her with a wagging tail! Victoria is kind and has a way with animals so don’t hesitate to call on her for your pet needs.”

“Best Rover ever! Alex has watched our cat Mika several times now and always takes care of her like she's his own cat. He has watched her overnight before and we feel confident she is safe, happy, and has a clean litter box! We get many pictures and updates each day, and we can tell she really likes Alex from all of the pictures of Mika on his lap and shoulders. Great prices and really helpful that he's been able to watch her even on last minute notice. Thank you Alex!”

About: I grew up with at least two dogs in my home at all times, so caring for animals has always been a huge part of my life. Over the years, I’ve cared for my parents’ three dogs, my brother’s three dogs and cat, and many of my friends’ dogs and cats. I also have two dogs of my own! I truly treat animals like family. I know that sounds cliché, but I mean it wholeheartedly. I want every pet in my care to feel safe, loved, comfortable, and happy while their family is away. I think my commitment to animals is best shown through my own dogs. I intentionally adopted both of them from shelters. One was only an hour away from being put down when I brought him home, and the other was a puppy who desperately needed a home before a winter storm. I’ve also taken in multiple animals I’ve found on the side of the road to make sure they were safely returned to their homes or taken to the appropriate place for care. I’ll always do what I can to make sure an animal is safe and cared for. I’ve experienced many different stages and personalities of pet care, from 3-month-old puppies and dogs in heat to reactive or sassy dogs and senior pets of all sizes. I understand that every animal is different and has their own routines, personalities, and needs, and I’m happy to work with them. I have such a strong passion for animals, and I’d love the opportunity to care for yours when you need an extra hand! I know how important it is to find someone you can truly trust with your pets, and I would feel incredibly grateful to be that person for you and your furry family members. I can help on weekdays, I am just not available between 8:30am-5:30pm M-Fri. I work remote Thursday and Friday so I am able to be more flexible those days to meet your needs. Weekends, I can help more often! When caring for pets in their own home, I’ll respect your space and maintain their normal routine and environment as closely as possible. I have two high-energy dogs of my own, so I understand the importance of routine, playtime, love, exercise, and mental stimulation. I’ll make sure your pet gets the attention and enrichment they need to feel happy, comfortable, and cared for while you’re away.

About: With 17 years of caring for cats and dogs, I bring steady experience and genuine love. I grew up with dogs and cats all my life and have a deep passion for animals. Cat sitting is my specialty, and I’m confident with senior pets and maintaining a calm, clean environment that helps every animal feel comfortable. I accommodate last minute bookings on 24/7 on weekendz and weekday night! I work full time and I’m available on weekdays in the evening and I’m available all weekend starting Friday evening and all day Saturday and Sunday for last minute drop ins or schedule. I provide a clean, safe, calm environment for both cats and dogs. My home is stocked with cat litter and food and dog food. Upon request, I can purchase whatever specific food or litter supplies your cat specifically likes if pets are gonna board in my home. I follow your pet’s routine, give them plenty of attention, and always clean up after them updating you with photos after every event.

About: With over 10 years of experience, I’m passionate about providing exceptional care for our furry, and scaly, friends. Whether you have a laid-back house cat, a senior pup with special needs, or a reptile or other tank-dwelling companion, I’m experienced in caring for a wide variety of species and their unique needs. You can feel confident knowing your pets are in experienced, compassionate hands while you’re away. I am currently a student and employed part-time, but very organized and meticulous about my calendar. I am available morning and evenings/nights during the week, mid-day on occasional week days, and weekends. I tailor my care to each pet’s individual routine, personality, and needs; my goal is to keep their normal schedule as consistent and ensure they are as comfortable as possible. Depending on the service, this can include feeding and fresh water, walks and/or playtime, litter box or habitat maintenance, medication or special-needs care, and plenty of attention and cuddles. I’m happy to follow detailed instructions from pet parents to make sure their pets receive the same care they’re accustomed to. I also provide regular text updates, including photos and messages about how your pet is doing, so you can have peace of mind and feel connected while you’re away.

About: I’ve had cats and dogs for most of my life and caring for animals is something I truly love. I understand that every pet has their own personality, routines, and needs, and I take the time to make sure they feel safe, comfortable, and cared for while you’re away. I have experience caring for senior pets and those with special needs, including administering medications, supporting mobility challenges, and providing a calm, patient environment. I know how important consistency and gentle care are, especially for pets who need a little extra attention. Whether it’s a walk, playtime, or quiet companionship, I’ll treat your pet like my own and make sure they’re happy, healthy, and loved every step of the way. I currently have cats of my own but they are used to other pets in the home, including dogs. Additionally, I offer complimentary meet and greets prior to petting your pet, to see if it’s a good fit. I work from home and my schedule is flexible, so I’m able to interact with and love on your fur baby all day. I can also pick up and drop off your little one if need be. I do have a few cats of my own, so if you have a kitty needing care, it may be best for me to care for them in their own environment. My cats are used to other pets though, including dogs, so they are more than welcome in my home. I also have a fenced-in yard with a lot of room for your dog to run around and live in a neighborhood conducive to walks.

About: I’ve been the go-to pet sitter for friends, family, and coworkers for years—and I absolutely love it! Whether it’s snuggly cats, goofy dogs, curious birds, or even turtles and fish, I’ve cared for all kinds of pets like they’re my own. With a lifetime of experience as a pet parent (over 40 years!), I’m comfortable with everything from walks and playtime to litter box duty, feeding routines, and giving meds when needed. I know every pet has their own quirks and comfort zones, and I always take the time to earn their trust and keep them happy while you’re away. If you’re looking for someone who truly gets animals—and will treat your fur (or feather or fin) baby like family—I’m your person! I have a very flexible schedule and am available for pet care during mornings, afternoons, evenings, and even overnight if needed. Whether it’s a last-minute drop-in, daily walks, or extended stays, I’m happy to accommodate your pet’s routine and your schedule. Your pets’ comfort and consistency are my priority, and I’m here whenever you need me! When I care for your pets in your home, I make it my mission to keep everything running smoothly and comfortably—just like you never left. Your pets will stay in their familiar surroundings with all their favorite routines, and I’ll be there to give them love, attention, and consistent care. I treat your home with the utmost respect and take pride in leaving things just as you left them (or better!). In addition to pet care, I’m happy to water plants, bring in mail or packages, take out the trash, and help with other small tasks to keep your home feeling cared for and secure. You can count on regular updates and photos so you always know how your pets are doing. Whether it’s a quick check-in or an extended stay, you can feel confident knowing your pets and your home are in reliable, loving hands.

Thank you once again for the wonderful care of our cat and dog. I love that we come home to them missing us, but in a happy way. Nick is reliable, communicates well, and does the work to win over our pets every time he cares for them. The walks and snuggles help our little guy with his anxiety. I highly recommend Nick and will book him again when we travel.

FAQs for Cat Sitting - Hays

Frequently asked questions about Rover

The average cost of Cat Sitting in Hays is $16 per visit as of October 2026. Most bookings cost between $11 and $26 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.

As of October 2026, there are 3,717 sitters on Rover offering Cat Sitting across Hays. 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 .

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 , 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 .

Yes, you can find sitters who have experience with handling special pet needs in Hays. On Rover:

  • 89% of sitters can help with special care needs
  • 94% can help with giving oral medications or injections
  • 94% 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 , 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.
