“Susan is our go to. She’s basically our pets’ god mother 🤣. Not only is she a phenomenal pet sitter with cute pics and updates.. But her knowledge of animal behavior is impeccable. 100/10 recommend her to pet sit as well as training sessions. She’s been with us since we first brought our puppy home and has made such a positive impact on her behavior. I always tell my friends/family about her!❤️”

About: I’ve been taking care of animals for over 10 years. I have grown up with both cats and dogs, and I currently have a 3 year old cat of my own. I also volunteer with BARCS for their dogs day out program, so I have a lot of experience with big dogs. I currently work full time in logistics, and I work from home 3 days a week. I have free time throughout the day on my remote days and on the weekends as well. I always like to take care of animals as if they are my own. Your animals will always be safe and secure and I always go the extra mile to make sure they are as comfortable and safe as possible.

“Krysta was *awesome* with our two cats while we had to be away for a few days not long after moving into a new home. It already gave us a lot of peace of mind to know that she was reliably showing up to take care of them, but even more so once we saw how comfortable they were with her. (One of our kitties is a big scaredy-cat, but he began greeting her and turned into a love-bug!) She brushed them and played with their favorite toy, which I'm sure went a long way with both, and she even brought in a few packages that arrived while we were gone. Krysta also provided detailed write-ups of each visit and accompanying photos that were definitely appreciated. I'd highly recommend booking her for any services you might need -- but especially if you have two big meatball cats who could use some extra attention and comfort! We've already booked her for an upcoming trip because we know it'll help us worry a little less about our boys back at home.”

During each visit she sent multiple photos and made sure everything was taken care of. It gave us real peace of mind while we were away. Highly recommended!”

About: I have experience with stray, shelter, outside, and house dogs and cats! Whether they may need a little extra care or just a good walk, I’m certain I can adapt to their needs! My daily routine is flexible, which allows me to give pets plenty of attention, care, and companionship throughout the day. I enjoy having animals around and can easily incorporate walks, playtime, feeding, and check-ins into my schedule. I have pet sat at people’s home where I have never been to and my rule of thumb is to make sure the pet feels comfortable in their space while I’m there. If they are frightened by my presence then I may go to a different room and wait for them to come to me. I also like to inform the owner of anything that I see about the house or pet that I find (whether it be small or big) while I visit.

“Jen has truly been our savior the past couple of weeks! She was caring for our two kitties while we were away on a planned vacation, and then we had a medical emergency out of the country which delayed our return by almost a week. Jen was so flexible and rearranged her schedule to be able to continue to care for our cats until we could get home. She truly saved us! She is an excellent communicator, always sending detailed updates and pictures of her visits- it’s so obvious how much she cares for animals and both of my cats loved her- lots of snuggles, head butts and affection with her. Do not hesitate to call Jen as she is a 10/10 pet sitter!”

About: From a dog-filled childhood to a mom who ran a humane society, my journey makes me your pets ideal companion. I have extensive experience with a wide variety of breeds. My tall stature ensures safe, fun times for all dogs or cats. All sizes welcome. Your pets are sure to receive the love and attention they need to make them feel safe in your absence. In addition to their 3 daily short walks, your babies will get 1 long walk or run a day around the lake, where we can get some exercise and go on a “sniffari.” They’ll also have access to our large, fenced-in backyard to play and hang out. Pictures and videos included at no cost of course! My years of experience with animals has taught me that every pet is unique and needs different levels of care and attention to ensure not only their safety but their happiness. As a baseline, all walks will be leashed with an appropriately sized collar/harness. In my absence your pet will have a private room in the house with a comfortable bed, toys, food, water, and lots of sunshine. Please communicate with me about any special attention your animal may need and I will be sure that they are tended to.

About: With 6 years of experience caring for animals of all shapes and sizes, I understand that every pet has unique needs. I've worked with my own rescue dog to improve her socialization and behavior through patience and consistent training. I'm comfortable with both large and small breeds, as well as reptiles, fish, and other companions. My goal is to provide reliable, attentive care while keeping your pets happy, safe, and comfortable! Currently going to school full time so my entire day is free and scheduled around my classes. I like to spend a lot of my free time with the companions. It is the daily routine and necessary as a caretaker. I wake up and feed and potty breaks. Mid day before I go to the gym, go for a walk and playtime. Repeat when I return from the gym. And then at night time feed again and last bathroom break. Make sure they are always fed, watered, and have been exercised so that they are occupied and able to relax in comfort, peace, and security

About: I have taken care of many different pets aside from growing up with mostly dogs. Other than my absolute love for animals, I am reliable and hard working. I am currently available at almost all times! If you need a sitter during the week or weekends, I’m here for ya! Will keep schedule updated and current as life events come up! I am willing to do most things that are asked of me and follow the instructions I’m given. In the case of more freedom, I will use critical thinking and good judgement to solve any problem there may be and to take great care of your pet.

About: I’ve been a pet owner most of my life and have taken care of pets for friends, family, and neighbors. I am the one they always rely on to care for there’s pets and I hope to do the same for you. I’m currently looking for a job, so I will have lots of free time to care for your pets, and with flexible scheduling to what days you might need. Caring for pets at the client’s home I would make sure to ask where they keep the food, treats, toys for the pets, and cleaning supplies just in case if they make an accident by chance.

FAQs for Cat Sitting - Ilchester

Frequently asked questions about Rover

The average cost of Cat Sitting in Ilchester is $22 per visit as of November 2026. Most bookings cost between $16 and $36 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 1,907 sitters on Rover offering Cat Sitting across Ilchester. 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 Ilchester. On Rover:

  • 84% of sitters can help with special care needs
  • 88% can help with giving oral medications or injections
  • 89% 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.
