“Stephanie did a wonderful job taking care of our two cats including our geriatric cat who has some medical complications. She kept us updated on our old kitty’s condition. We really appreciate how well she took care of our girls.”
“I am so happy to have Brenda to help care for our family’s new puppy. It is very reassuring to me that he has a scheduled playtime with Brenda when we have other commitments. I especially love the pictures that she sends after the visits so that we can see how much fun our little guy had. She is a wonderful sitter!”

About: I've been pet and house sitting since grade school and will treat your pet like the member of the family they are. We all love our pets and want them taken care of in the best way possible. I have a flexible schedule and will make room for what you and your pets need when they need it. I have reliable transportation and am very punctual. I'm always on top of keeping doors and gates secured so there's no danger of an escape act occurring. Leashes and harnesses are essential for a good walk.
“Kristi took very good care of our cat when we were away. We will definitely keep her in mind for next time and appreciate all the beautiful photos of her while we were away. Mind was at ease knowing she was getting good care.”
“Kaylynn did a wonderful job taking care of our dog and cat while we were away. She was reliable, communicative, and clearly cared for them like they were her own. It gave us great peace of mind knowing they were in such good hands. We wouldn't hesitate to book her again and highly recommend her to anyone looking for a trustworthy pet sitter!”
“Cathy was all I could have hoped for in a caregiver for my sweet kitty. She was loving and followed my directions carefully. Philly was happy to see me when I got home, but calm and content. She had eaten her normal amount of food and Cathy sent pics of Philly playing! The pics were very reassuring. Thank you Cathy.”
“Sondra, is an excellent , reliable, trustworthy, caring, responsible and respectful pet sitter! Shadow was very happy, well fed and healthy while being cared for by her! I will continue to request her for pet sitting.”

About: I have taken care of dogs since I was very little as I always had a special bond with dogs. I went to a tech school for veterinary science where we were trained in many things, one of which being nail trimming. I can also assist in training puppies, but I am not a professional trainer. I am currently in college with a part time job. I can stay over the weekend if needed or a couple days during the week. I can walk your dog in the afternoon or evening depending on what works with your schedule. I only have classes 2 days a week where I would be able to let your dog out between my classes if that is what was needed. My schedule is very flexible! I do not do boarding in my home, but your pet will have the comfort of remaining in their safe place at home. I will give updates on how your pet is doing whenever you want them or if you just want to check up on them.

I am so happy I found Lauren to take care of my cat Honey! This is the 3rd year Lauren has watched Honey while I am on vacation and she is always kind,dependable and informative. She provides me with updates daily and sends me great pics! I recommend Lauren to take care of your family pets, Thank you Lauren!
Kaylynn did a wonderful job taking care of our dog and cat while we were away. She was reliable, communicative, and clearly cared for them like they were her own. It gave us great peace of mind knowing they were in such good hands. We wouldn't hesitate to book her again and highly recommend her to anyone looking for a trustworthy pet sitter!
Brooke and Matthew did a great job of making my cate Taz comfortable and at ease as he usually hides with strangers. They went the extra mile giving him his insulin shot and eye drops as well. I would recommend them and will definitely use their services again in the future.
I have both an indoor cat and an outdoor stray that I care for and Paige did a fantastic job taking care of both of them while I was away for a week. She even managed to get my timid cat to trust her, which is no small feat. I can absolutely recommend her for your pet sitting needs.
We had a wonderful experience with Jenna and will absolutely use her again. This was our first time hiring her to care for our cats, and she exceeded our expectations in every way. Jenna was communicative throughout our time away, sending regular updates and photos, and was not afraid to reach out with questions when needed. It gave us great peace of mind knowing our cats were in such attentive hands. She also cleaned up any pet messes and went above and beyond, helping with our garden while we were away. What really stood out was how quickly our cats warmed up to her. One of our cats is usually shy and tends to run and hide when meeting new people, but she stayed put and happily accepted head scratches from Jenna, a true testament to her calm and caring demeanor with animals. Jenna is reliable, thoughtful, and clearly loves animals. We came home to happy cats and a well cared for house, and we highly recommend her to anyone looking for a trustworthy pet sitter.
Emma was amazing with our 4 cats. She gave our senior extra time and attention. She went above and beyond with the photos she sent at each visit. She kept their bowls and litter clean. Her communication was excellent. I can tell she is truly a cat and animal lover and enjoyed her time with them. Highly recommend Emma!
Rebecca is a treasure! She took amazing care of our two kitties (one being a senior cat that is 16 years old and requires a special diet and thyroid medication twice daily). She gave wonderfully detailed notes and pictures with every visit. We couldn’t be happier with her service. We will definitely use her again and would recommend her to anyone who needs an exceptional pet sitter. She is kind, intuitive, and responsible. Thank you so much Rebecca!!
Lia was wonderful!! I’ve never used Rover before and I’m grateful she made it an awesome first experience. She initiated a meet and greet before our trip which made it super easy to get her a key and show her through everything she needed to know to watch after the cats. While we were away, she proactively sent lots of pictures and updates which I loved. She also quickly responded to any questions or requests I had. On top of taking great care of the cats, she even watered our plant. I could tell through the pictures just how comfortable the cats were with her which gave me peace of mind while being away. Overall, 10/10 and we are so glad we had Lia looking after Pepper and Periwinkle!!
Maddie took great care of our 2 cats while we were away, especially our one kitty that requires a daily medication pill. Although the daily pilling was not a favorite activity for our cat, Maddie showed patience and did her best to gain her trust. I felt at ease knowing Maddie works as a Vet Tech and has experience with animals. She made sure to give treats and participate in daily playtime. We will request Maddie again in the future.
Sarafina did a great job caring for my cat, Lawrence! He just needed daily drop-in visits and she sent lots of photos. She stopped by beforehand to make sure she knew exactly what he needed and was friendly and knowledgeable! She did an excellent job with my instructions and gave him plenty of playtime while she stopped in. I highly recommend Sarafina for any of your pets needs!

Frequently asked questions about Rover
The average cost for Cat Sitting in Heaton on Rover is $19.98 per visit (as of August 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 August 2026, there are 4,565 sitters on Rover offering Cat Sitting across Heaton. 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 Heaton. On Rover:
- 90% of sitters can help with special care needs
- 95% can help with giving oral medications or injections
- 96% 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.
