“Gigi was amazing! 10/10 recommend her to watch your babies. I am always a little nervous to leave my babies for long periods of time but Gigi made the entire process so easy which made me feel super comfortable & my dogs LOVED her. Lola and Levi enjoyed spending time with her and seemed very comfortable while I was away as shown through pictures 🥰 and sweet notes about visits. She was super communicative, kind, goes above & beyond, and I will 1000% be using her again for all my pet needs. Thanks again Gigi!”
“Definitely one of the best Rovers helpers I have met. Natalie did an amazing job taking care of Mrs. Mills. I loved the constant communication with recurrent notes and multiple daily pictures. She took care of Mrs. Mills and also cleaned up after her. I’m pretty sure we will be sure to have her come back to take care of Mrs. Mills again.”
“Ethan took amazing care of my two cats while I was on a 2 week vacation! He updated me after each drop-in and I loved seeing the photos he took. My kitties and I recommend!!”
“Lindi arrived on time and let Ethel be Ethel as the dog got used to seeing her visitor. After things calmed down and Ethel approached and sat with Lindi, we took a short walk around the neighborhood. Lindi is so calm and she asks very good questions to get to know Ethel better.”
“She did an amazing job with my two cats. Made sure all of their stuff was clean and even vacuumed, and swept the floor as well as took out the trash. None of those things I asked for. By far the best pet sitter I’ve hired.”
“Khalil was great! We are first timers with Rover and he was extremely quick to respond and very communicative. Our shy cat even warmed up to him! Everything was left in order when we got back as well and cats were happy and healthy.”
“Sarah was fabulous, she kept us updated with photos and her report card daily. When we are out of town again, absolutely would hope we could get Sarah to look after our cat! Thanks Sarah!”
“Elle has been such a big help to us! She is very attentive to our dog’s needs and gives the best updates. I’m so grateful for her loving on our pups and taking the best care of them when we are away. Highly recommend her!”
“We were feeling anxious about finding a new sitter, but something about Ellen put our minds at ease. Our three boys gravitated towards her during the meet and greet, and we knew she was the perfect fit for our family. Despite our initial doubts, we decided to install extra cameras to make sure our pets were in good hands. Ellen's kindness and genuine care for our animals, especially our older and special needs dog, touched our hearts. She exceeded our expectations with her attention to detail and dedication. Ellen not only won us over but also gave us peace of mind. We wholeheartedly recommend her services and are grateful for her thoughtful gesture of providing references for us to connect with.”
“Ryan was great! Super communicative, followed the dog specific instructions for both pups and gave info on how they both were and what they did! I picked him last minute for 2 days of drop ins and would use him again without question!”
“Christy was fantastic with my two cats, as always. She was able to give oral meds without any issues. It’s great to have peace of mind when I’m away that their meds are taken care of. Highly recommend Christy!!”
“Emily provided excellent care for our pup. She went out of her way to clean up some in the backyard. Our pup really enjoyed her company and the time she spent playing with her. I would highly recommend Emily for your pet sitter.”
“Benjamin accommodated us last minute when our original pet sitter had to cancel. He was very detailed in his responses and I could tell that he cared about my pets wellbeing. He is a wonderful sitter.”
“Stacey is the only person I trust watching my cat(s)!! She’s dependable, friendly, trustworthy & great with animals! It was so nice not having to worry about my baby while I was gone for 2 weeks.”
“Kelsey has become our regular cat sitter for when we are out of town. My girls remember her each time and at this last visit started rolling over and asking her for belly pets signifying their trust for her. We love having a trusted pet sitter that can come to our home and take care of our beloved pets.”
“Maddie accepted our booking last minute after all of our sitter plans fell through right before we headed out of town. We had never used Rover before so we were slightly apprehensive. She came over right away to meet him and was sure to send us pictures and updates for every visit. Our baby began to love her as the interaction progressed. Will definitely be rebooking in the future.”
“Claire was absolutely wonderful! We needed Claire twice a day for an entire week. Our dog has been the only pet in our home for several years and she likes her alone time a lot so a Pet Hotel was not going to be a good fit for her. At the last minute I found Rover and decided to give it a try. It was super easy to look though our choices, contact which "petgivers" we liked, and then book the days and times we needed. Claire accepted our booking and even came over a couple hours later to meet Brownie, we were leaving the next day super early. Not only did Claire accept us with a last minute booking but she came to meet Brownie that night and she was super sweet and very professional. I can't say enough good things about her, so here are a few: - She was very prompt with the times we had scheduled. - She communicated with us about things, for instance the temp dropped to low 30's which we didn't plan for and had not turned on the heat, she contacted us to let us know the temp in the house was 50 degrees and asked if we wanted her to turn the heat on. - She went above and beyond our expectations. - Most importantly our Furry Family Member loved having her around. I would definitely use Claire again and would highly recommend her to anyone looking for someone to look in on their furry loved one.”

Stacey is phenomenal — incredibly professional and full of love and care. We did a meet and greet, and the questions she asked clearly indicated to me that my pets would be in great hands while I was away. She provided thorough updates and photos. She managed my cat Genevieve having some litterbox protests with grace and understanding. She created fun playtime with my two dogs and their toys as well as going “fishing” for the kitty cat, G’s favorite form of play. All went so well, and I had such peace of mind. I highly recommend Stacey!
Ty was wonderful and very thoughtful. He spent a good amount of time with our cat and was always punctual. Momo, who is quite shy, actually played with him and was able to build trust with him. When we got back, the house was exactly how we had left it. He was prompt with communication and sent us pictures of our pet during each visit. We would definitely hire Ty again for future needs.
Bekah watched our 16 year old cat while we were on vacation, as she has for several years now. She visited him every day and refreshed his water and food, and cleaned his box, sending me pics of him to let me know he was doing fine. I truly thinks she loves our big buddy and takes very good care of him.
Emily was absolutely amazing! She took such great care of my cat and was incredibly responsible throughout the entire stay. I really appreciated all the beautiful photos she sent—they made me feel so much better while I was away. It was obvious that she genuinely cared about my kitty and spent quality time with him. I would definitely book with her again and highly recommend her to anyone looking for a trustworthy and caring sitter!

Frequently asked questions about Rover
The average cost for Cat Sitting in Indianapolis 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 1,288 sitters on Rover offering Cat Sitting across Indianapolis. 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 Indianapolis. On Rover:
- 91% of sitters can help with special care needs

- 97% 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.
