About: I truly love animals and enjoy making them feel happy, safe, and loved. I have experience caring for puppies and understand the extra patience, attention, and care they need. I know pets are family, and I treat every pet with the same care and affection I would give my own. I’m happy to help with walks, feeding, playtime, and cuddles while keeping your pet comfortable in their routine. My goal is for you to feel at ease knowing your furry family member is in caring, trustworthy hands! Caring for pets is a natural and joyful part of my everyday life. I have a flexible schedule that allows me to give your pet plenty of attention, companionship, and care throughout the day. Whether we’re going for a morning walk, playing with their favorite toys, or enjoying a quiet afternoon together, I love making sure they feel safe, loved, and right at home. I enjoy getting to know each pet’s unique personality and building a routine around their individual needs. I’ll make time for walks, meals, playtime, and cuddles while keeping their usual schedule as consistent as possible. My goal is for your pet to feel like they’re spending time with a trusted friend, not just being watched while you’re away. Your pet’s happiness and comfort are always a priority, and I’ll treat them with the same patience, affection, and care I would give my own. Your pet’s safety and well-being are always at the heart of how I care for them. I know how much trust it takes to leave your furry family member in someone else’s hands, and I take that responsibility seriously. I’ll follow your instructions closely, maintain their familiar routines, and provide attentive care tailored to their individual needs. From keeping them securely leashed on walks to ensuring they feel safe and comfortable in their own home, I’ll treat them with the same love and care I would my own. I’ll also send regular updates and photos so you can feel connected and reassured while you’re away, knowing your pet is in caring, responsible hands.

“Maria went above and beyond when cat sitting for me while I was out of town. She kept great communication with me for the entire 11 days that I was gone. She sent so many pictures, videos and updates which made me feel so at ease. She is very thorough and attentive during the drop in visits. My cats adored her, even my skittish kitten was playing with her and sitting in her lap after just a couple of days. I cannot recommend Maria enough and will absolutely be using her services again in the future.”

About: Hi, I’m Madeline! I’ve been a dog and cat parent for over 20 years, including the last ten wonderful years with my sweet golden retriever. Caring for him through his senior years taught me how much patience, consistency, and attention matter as pets’ needs change. I’m comfortable giving oral medications and following each pet’s feeding and care routine. I work from home as a recipe developer, so most of my day is spent in the kitchen or at my desk—with plenty of opportunities for companionship, potty breaks, and affection. Aside from trips out for errands or the gym, I’m home throughout the day. Whether your pet enjoys playtime or prefers a cozy spot nearby, I’ll take the time to learn what helps them feel comfortable.I have a quiet home and your dog will enjoy a fully fenced, spacious backyard perfect for safe, off-leash playtime—giving them all the freedom and exercise of a private dog park right at home, with zero travel risks or outside stress. I also share my home with my cat Luna who is accustomed to being around dogs and visiting cats. Having trusted others with my own pets, I understand how much it means to find someone dependable and caring. I’d love to give your pet a welcoming place to settle in and help you feel at ease while you’re away. I work from home as a recipe developer, spending most of my day in the kitchen or at my desk, so your pet will have company throughout much of the day. My flexible schedule allows for regular potty breaks, walks, playtime, and attention, with room to follow your pet’s usual feeding and care routine. I step out for errands or the gym, but otherwise your pet can enjoy a relaxed day by my side, whether they love being involved or prefer to nap nearby. I have a quiet home with a large, fully fenced backyard for supervised play and a peaceful neighborhood for walks. My senior cat, Luna, is accustomed to dogs and other cats, and I’ll take introductions slowly so everyone has time to feel comfortable. I’ll follow your pet’s feeding, medication, and care instructions closely and take time to learn their habits and any safety concerns. With regular updates and photos, you can feel connected and reassured while your pet settles into our home.

“This was my first time using Rover, and I couldn’t have asked for a better experience thanks to Jennifer! She was incredibly communicative and attentive with my cat, who is usually very nonchalant and keeps to himself. The moment he gave her a headbutt during their first meet, I knew she was the perfect fit. Jennifer made me feel at ease while I was away, and I appreciated all the updates and care she provided. She also went above and beyond to help solve a never-ending battle with ants invading my cat’s food, I’m so thankful for her care and dedication. Highly recommend her to anyone looking for someone trustworthy and genuinely caring to look after their pets!”

About: I’ve been caring for dogs since I was a teenager and have experience as both a lifelong pet owner and a sitter. I’ve cared for dogs of all sizes, ages, and personalities. From small, cuddly pups to high energy Australian breeds who need plenty of exercise and attention. I’m comfortable with walks, playtime, feeding routines, cuddles, and making sure each dog feels safe, happy, and loved while you’re away. I would prefer drop ins and “pet sitting” in your house most of the day if needed, but would currently not be comfortable staying overnight. I am an early riser and can be there very early however , or whatever day time routine would be most comfortable for your dog :) I am currently not working more than 10 hours a week with contract work, so my hours and schedule are very flexible. We are also new to Florida, and are looking to buy a house soon, so this will fill up my time with something I love doing while helping earn some extra income. I know how important your fur babies are to you! My husband and I have a little dog and a big fluffy cat and they are basically our children! I would treat them with just as much love and care as my own animals, and I hope I can bring my little dog with me to play when allowed!

“Michelle went above and beyond for my baby. My dog was not feeling well, and would not eat during the first check in. Michelle sent me updates and kept a close eye on her so I would not worry. she even offered to go back and check on her outside of her scheduled time. She sent many updates throughout and pictures and made my dog feel comfortable in my absence. I would normally worry about my dog the whole time I’m away but I have not worried once, as I trust Michelle wholeheartedly with her care. I could not recommend her more. Will definitely be booking with Michelle again”

About: My family has had a dog since before I can remember. Since I was old enough, I started pet and house sitting for family and friends. I have cared for dogs all ages and sizes. From old Chihuahuas to English Mastiff puppies and everything in between. I look forward to exploring with dogs - whether it be new trails and hikes or a casual walk through the neighbor. Being outside (in any capacity) is my favorite thing to do, but its more fun with a companion (especially dogs). My love for animals extends beyond dogs and cats. I worked at a sea turtle hospital for a year, where I cared for sick and injured turtles until they were healthy enough to be returned to the ocean. This is something I believe shows my heart and genuine love for animals. I moved across the country a year ago, leaving the family dogs (and family) behind. I want to love your animals as much as I love mine. I work 8-4 Monday through Friday. I am free every week day after 4. My weekends are typically free for adventures. I would love to be consistent for family's and their pets. I want the animals to get to know and trust me, rather than have someone new take care of them all the time. I want the animals to feel comfortable and be in a safe environment while their families are away. I currently live in an apartment, so caring for animals in my own home is not ideal. Communication is very important, so before pet sitting, I make sure the owners and I are on the same page. I respect their place and animals as if it was mine.

About: Hi! I’m Summer and I would love to be your pet’s new favorite sitter! A little bit about me: I grew up with German Shepherds and have always loved caring for dogs. Little, big, old, or young- I love them all. I’ve house-sat and cared for friends’ and family members’ dogs on and off for many years so I have experience with different personalities, routines, and needs. I know how hard it can be to leave your pet with someone else, so I’ll give them the same love, attention, and care I’d want for my own while prioritizing communication with you so you’re always up to date on how your fur baby is doing. I work Tuesdays from about 10 AM–2 PM and Wednesday–Saturday from about 5 PM–midnight. This means I’m generally available before and after work, with plenty of daytime availability for walks, drop-ins, playtime, and overnight care. Sundays and Mondays are completely open, and I’m happy to work around your pet’s routine and needs! I want you to feel completely comfortable knowing your fur baby is in good hands! I’ll follow your instructions and your pet’s routine closely, keep doors and gates secure, and make sure they always have fresh water, food, and a clean, comfortable space. I’ll send regular updates and photos so you know how your fur baby is doing, and I’ll communicate right away if I notice anything unusual or have any concerns. I’m respectful of your home and will leave everything just as I found it. Most importantly, your pet’s safety and happiness will always come first.

About: I’ve been privately dog sitting for over 5 years across a wide range of breeds, energy levels, and sizes. As someone who raised my American Eskimo pup, Arya from a puppy, I’m very experienced with puppy care. Potty training consistency, chew redirection, high energy exercise, and patient routine building. I also specialize in detail oriented medical and senior care. I have hands on experience administering daily oral medications, supplements, and topical ointments right on schedule. Client trust is everything to me, I'm even listed as the medical power of attorney for two Yorkies I care for so making responsible attentive decisions for pets in my care comes second nature. Because I work remotely from home, your dog will have a dedicated buddy by their side throughout the day. You'll get regular photo updates and complete peace of mind while you're away! I work remotely as a freelance software developer and run an online resale business, so my day to day schedule is completely flexible. Since I’m on my laptop from home, pet care naturally fits right into my daily flow without any rush or stress. During house sits, I'm around pretty much 24/7 aside from stepping out for quick grocery runs or errands. That means your pets will get plenty of company, lots of attention, and their normal feeding and walk routines kept exactly on track. I always like doing a Meet & Greet first so we can see how your pet responds to me and go over their exact routine in person. When caring for pets in your home, I treat both your space and your animals with complete respect. I strictly follow your house rules, whether that means crating when stepping out, sticking to specific feeding/medication setups, keeping dogs securely leashed outside, or giving shy cats plenty of quiet space to warm up. I also send regular photos and updates with every visit so you always have full peace of mind while you're away.

FAQs for Cat Sitting - Highpoint

Frequently asked questions about Rover

The average cost of Cat Sitting in Highpoint is $20 per visit as of November 2026. Most bookings cost between $13 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 November 2026, there are 960 sitters on Rover offering Cat Sitting across Highpoint. 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 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 Meet & Greet.

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

  • 88% of sitters can help with special care needs
  • 91% 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 cancellation policy, 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.
