About: As a pet owner myself, I understand how important it is to find someone you can trust with your furry family members. I currently have a 14-year-old Golden Retriever which giving me firsthand experience with senior pet care, administering medications, monitoring health changes, and providing the extra patience and attention that older dog need. I understand that every pet has their own personality, routine, and comfort level, and I always adapt my care to meet their individual needs. Whether your pet enjoys long walks, playtime, quiet companionship, or simply sticking to their daily routine, I’ll make sure they feel safe, loved, and comfortable while you’re away. I provide regular updates, photos, and communication so you can have peace of mind knowing your pet is in caring, reliable hands. I currently have flexible schedule and there is usually someone home 24/7. And mostly weekend after 1pm. Please book in advance for the weekends and holidays . SFH with yard, work from home, so your pet will never be left alone for long periods of time. No smoking house. No kid. One resident cat & one resident dog. Guest cats can be provided with a separate room.

I highly recommend Aayush to anyone looking for a kind, dependable, and trustworthy pet sitter!”

About: I have returned to school to earn my PhD as an adult in my 30s, which means I have both many years of experience with animals and significant flexibility to help out as your schedule requires. I have spent my whole life around animals - I grew up in a house with two cats, a dog (chow chow), and a multitude of fish; I worked for a stint on a farm as a teenager; and as an adult I have two sweet cats! I have been pet sitting for family and friends since I was young, most recently caring for a variety of cats and dogs for friends during work travel, vacations, and weddings. I have experience with cats of all life stages, giving medications, and walking both small and large dogs. I am a PhD student, which means that my schedule is very flexible! (It also means I always welcome study breaks to hang out with your furry friends!) I am available mornings, afternoons, and evenings, including during weekdays and normal business hours. Because I have two cats of my own, I am not able to offer services in my own home at this time. I offer in-home care and dog walking, and am happy to learn from you where your dog most likes to go for walks! I do have a car, and am able to transport pets to walking trails or dog parks if desired, but would only do so with your prior permission.
“Xingcheng was absolutely fantastic! From the very beginning, communication was prompt, professional, and reassuring. She took wonderful care of my dog and made sure I was updated with photos and messages, which gave me complete peace of mind while I was away. I highly recommend Xingcheng to anyone looking for a reliable, caring, and trustworthy pet sitter. I would absolutely book with her again without hesitation.”
“Boryana was very attentive to our kitties and made time to play with them. We appreciated the detailed updates and pictures. She took care of everything and made us feel at ease while away from our fur babies.”
“I am so grateful I found Kelly on Rover! She was available on Thanksgiving and I was so lucky to book her when I did. She contacted me right away to set up a time to meet me and my pup and I knew immediately she'd be great. She was super communicative, so easy going and just so sweet! We will 100% use Kelly for dog walking in the future!”

Martha took such incredible care of Bitty while I was away. This was my first time leaving her home alone for an extended period, and I was nervous because she’s an older cat and has been through a lot. Martha immediately put me at ease with the sweetest, most detailed updates written from Bitty’s perspective, along with tons of photos from every visit. You could tell she genuinely cared about Bitty’s comfort, routine, and emotional wellbeing — not just the basics of feeding and litter. She spent real quality time with her brushing her, cleaning her face gently when Bitty allowed it, sitting with her on the couch, and even letting Bitty nap on her lap during visits. The updates were thoughtful, funny, and reassuring, and I could tell Martha was paying close attention to Bitty’s eating, drinking, litter box habits, mood, and behavior. By the end of the visits, Bitty was clearly comfortable and attached to her, which says everything. I came home to a happy, relaxed cat and I’m so grateful. I would absolutely trust Martha again and highly recommend her to anyone looking for someone kind, patient, communicative, and genuinely invested in your pet’s wellbeing.
Megan was awesome!! So attentive to my two kitties and their care, even going above and beyond to clean up when one of them decided to leave a throw up treat!! One kitty is shy and hides but Megan made sure she was ok and checked on her each day. Will definitely call on Megan again in the future.
We left our two cats for two weeks—the longest they’ve ever been alone—while we traveled across the country, and we were extremely nervous, especially because one of our cats is very anxious and deeply attached to humans. We found Purva through Rover on our first search, and calling her “sent from animal care heaven” would honestly be an understatement. From the initial meet-and-greet, Purva was warm, down-to-earth, and incredibly reassuring. Before leaving, I set up cameras around the house because we were worried about stress-related behaviors like inappropriate peeing or vomiting, particularly from our anxious cat. Somehow, during those two weeks, our cats seemed happier than when we’re actually home. They were consistently well-fed, the litter box was always clean, and although Purva was scheduled for 30-minute visits each day, she never left until every requested task was completed thoroughly and thoughtfully. Most impressively, our anxious cat—who typically urinates around the house when stressed—did not act out even once during the entire two weeks. That alone speaks volumes. I fully attribute this to Purva’s patience, attentiveness, and genuine care. She arrived on time every day and was even available for last-minute visits during an emergency, which gave us incredible peace of mind. We truly could not have asked for a better cat sitter. Purva exceeded every expectation, and we would trust her with our cats again without hesitation. And one more thing we absolutely loved was that Purva always attended the visits with a member of her family. Safety comes first above everything, and this meant so much to us. It gave us an extra level of comfort and peace of mind knowing she prioritized her own safety while caring for our home and our cats.

Frequently asked questions about Rover
The average cost for Cat Sitting in Heathcote on Rover is $22.2 per visit (as of July 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 July 2026, there are 2,137 sitters on Rover offering Cat Sitting across Heathcote. 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.

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.
