“This was our first experience booking a cat sitter through Rover. Meah was wonderful! When we got home it was obvious that our cats were well taken care of. We appreciated the detailed notes on her visits and photos of our cats. We hope to book Meah again in the future!”

About: I've taken care of dogs my whole life. I have raised 3 puppies. I have taken care of elder dogs. I have taken care of cats. I personally have 2 dogs, and 4 cats. I understand how much patience and empathy matters when it comes to taking care of your furry friends, and how they are truly part of the family. Hi, I'm currently in college I take classes 2 days a week. I have weekends and Mondays completely free to help out with your pets needs. I understand I will be a new person in their environment and will take things at their pace. I have my own pets, and I've pet sit before so I'm very experienced and patient with their quirky personalities.

We especially appreciated the photos she provided with each visit—they allowed us to see how happy and well cared for Yema was.

About: I think what sets me apart from other people is that I enjoy the cats and dogs company even if they don’t enjoy mine so I give the them a lot of attention and a lot of pets. I also like to make sure that they get an even amount of food because my cats and dog love to eat others food even after eating a lot. Pet care fits into my daily routine by giving my pets food and water in the morning, making sure they have time to exercise and play, and spending time with them throughout the day. Since I only go to school one day a week, I have more time to care for them, keep their environment clean, and give them the attention they need. I also make sure they are fed in the evening and have everything they need before I go to bed. I always give them the love and attention because that’s what a human needs also, I love giving pets, refilling the water bowl because it’s very cute seeing them drink water and I refill their kibble. I also love playing with them with the little toys and brushing their hair because it’s very calming.

About: What sets me apart from other sitters is the depth and variety of my experience with animals of all sizes and personalities. I’ve been around animals my entire life and have cared for everything from playful puppies to senior pets who need extra patience and attention. Beyond pet sitting for multiple families outside of Rover, I also own a horse and have been involved with horses for over a decade. Working with such large, sensitive animals has taught me responsibility, calm leadership, and how to build trust with even the most cautious pets. Because of this, I’m comfortable and confident handling animals of all sizes, from the tiniest kitten to the largest dog. I understand that every pet has a unique personality and specific needs, and I take pride in tailoring my care to each individual animal. Whether it’s administering gentle care to seniors, reinforcing good manners with puppies, or providing enrichment and exercise to keep pets happy, I approach every situation with patience, respect, and love. At the end of the day, my goal is to create a safe, trusting environment where pets feel comfortable and loved while their owners have peace of mind knowing they’re in capable hands. Pet care fits seamlessly into my flexible college schedule. With lifelong animal experience, I provide safe, loving, and dependable care tailored to each pet’s needs I prioritize safety, trust, and a comfortable environment. In your home, I follow routines, respect rules, and provide attentive care. Pets feel secure, loved, and stress-free.

About: I’ve always been an animal lover and have had experience with animals since I was growing up. I had a dog, a rabbit, and birds, and I currently have a cat that I love and care for. My aunt and uncle also have a small farm with lots of roosters, so I often help them take care of the animals, raise them, and spend time playing with them. Caring for animals is more than just a responsibility to me; it is something I genuinely enjoy and have a passion for. I’m always willing to make time in my day to give animals the love, attention, and care they need. I always make an animal’s safety and well-being my top priority. I stay attentive to their needs and surroundings at all times, creating a safe, comfortable, and supervised environment.

About: I genuinely treat every pet like they’re my own. I’m dependable, detail-oriented, and I always stick to your pet’s routine. I also make sure they’re having fun and feeling loved. I’m big on communication, so you’ll get plenty of updates (and lots of cute photos) while you’re away. Whether it’s a walk, a drop in, or boarding, my goal is always the same: a happy pet and total peace of mind for you. I currently work full-time but am available for midday visits/drop ins. I have a lot of availability on the weekends for whatever your booking needs may be. I live in a complex with a dog-park and plenty of walking trails. I am able to crate dogs easily crate pets and am comfortable being around pets of all sizes.

“Five stars is not enough for the incredible care our two fur babies received from Catherine K.! From start to finish, Catherine was exceptionally professional and made the entire experience completely stress-free. Her communication was outstanding, providing us with regular updates and wonderful photos that kept our minds at total ease while we were away. It was clear from the moment she took over that our cats were in safe, highly capable, and loving hands. Catherine went above and beyond to maintain their daily routines and allowed them their space to become comfortable with her. If you want absolute peace of mind and a sitter who treats your pets like family, look no further than Catherine K. We will absolutely be booking her again!”

About: I have 3 years of professional experience working in the animal industry and currently work at a veterinary hospital, where I provide hands-on care to a variety of pets every day. My experience has given me a strong understanding of animal behavior, health, safety, and the individual needs of different pets. I’m comfortable caring for dogs and cats of different ages, sizes, breeds, and temperaments, including pets who may require extra patience, medication, or specialized care. Working in a veterinary environment has also taught me how to recognize changes in behavior or health and respond appropriately when a pet may not be feeling their best. When caring for your pets, my priority is to make them feel safe, comfortable, and loved while maintaining their normal routines as closely as possible. I understand that every pet is different, and I’m happy to follow detailed instructions regarding feeding, walks, medications, exercise, and other specific needs. You can feel confident knowing that your pets are in the care of someone with professional animal-care experience who genuinely enjoys helping animals and treating every pet as if they were my own. Depending on my schedule I work from 7am - 3pm or 8am - 5pm, before or after my regular job I am free to hang out with your fuzzy guy! I care for pets in my clients’ homes by keeping them comfortable, safe, and as close to their normal routine as possible. I follow each pet’s individual care instructions for feeding, walks, playtime, medications, and any special needs. I also make sure they receive plenty of attention, affection, and enrichment while their owners are away. With 3 years of experience in the animal industry and my current work at a veterinary hospital, I’m comfortable caring for pets with a variety of personalities and needs. I pay close attention to changes in behavior, appetite, energy levels, or other signs that something may be wrong, and I communicate with the owner promptly if I have any concerns. I also treat my clients’ homes with the same respect and care I give their pets, keeping things clean and secure and providing updates so owners can have peace of mind while they’re away.

FAQs for Cat Sitting - Independent Hill

Frequently asked questions about Rover

The average cost of Cat Sitting in Independent Hill is $22 per visit as of October 2026. Most bookings cost between $15 and $22 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 5,475 sitters on Rover offering Cat Sitting across Independent Hill. 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 .

  • 91% can help with giving oral medications or injections
  • 92% 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.
