“Gigi was wonderful with our cat Kali! She made time to meet Kali before we left for our trip. She sent pictures and a nice summary after each visit. She was timely and responsive and we were very grateful! We will definitely be rebooking!”
“She was absolutely great and sweet with our cat ❤️ she took care of all of his extra stuff like timed feeder, catio access etc. I'm glad our cat had such great company while we were away.”
“Ellen was wonderful. She gave me regular updates on Nikos drop in, and I felt very comfortable while I was away. I will definitely book Ellen again in the future!”
“Patrick took great care of our 3 cats while we were out of the country for almost two weeks. I had peace of mind knowing they were being loved on and treated so well while we were gone. I loved reading his updates every day about how they were doing and he took some amazing pictures! I definitely recommend Patrick!!!”
“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.”
“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.”
“Natalie was the greatest cat sitter! Between the regular updates and pictures my mind was at ease the whole time I was away knowing they were in good hands. Even my usually shy cat came out to play with her!!”
“Christy was amazing with my 2 cats, as usual. She was able to give oral meds and an inhaler with no issues. She is dependable and goes the extra mile when needed. Highly recommend!”
About: I’ve grown up with dogs my entire life and have always been actively involved in caring for them. I’ve been responsible for feeding, walking, playing with, bathing, and making sure they are happy, safe, and comfortable. While I don’t have professional pet-sitting experience, caring for my own dogs has given me years of hands-on experience with different personalities, energy levels, and needs. I’m dependable, patient, and genuinely love spending time with animals! I currently have a flexible schedule and can work pet care into my routine. I’m available for walks, drop ins, and sitting, and I can work with owners to find times that fit their pets’ needs. I provide care in the client’s home rather than my own, as I have two cats of my own. I’ll follow your instructions carefully and make sure your pet is safe, comfortable, and well cared for while you’re away.
“I HIGHLY recommend hiring Emily! She was so great with our cat Moz, they were fast friends. Emily took amazing care of Moz and sent us plenty of pictures and updates! We will definitely book with her 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.”
“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!!”
“Maja did amazing job watching my two kittens. They were very well taken care of and happy with her company. Maja sent really cute pictures and detailed notes about her drop ins. Will def connect with Maja in the future. Thanks so much Maja!!”
“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!”
About: I am my go to pet sitter for my friends and family. I enjoy taking dogs on long walks and playing with cats and making sure they are happy. I want to be involved in animal care and this is a great way to do so! I have a full time job during the week, with some days being remote. I can be flexible but, I’d prefer weekend visits. I am willing to work with your schedule. I am very attentive and love giving animals pets and playing with them. I try to enrich their minds as much I can on my visits. Whether that be playing with toys or loading up enrichment feeders. An enriched animal is a happy animal.
“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!”

Nouha was wonderful with our kitties! She was communicative, professional, and reliable throughout her visits. We especially appreciated the extra photos and updates, and it was clear that she took the time not just to take care of the cats’ basic needs, but to give them some attention and affection while we were away. The house was clean and everything was in order when we returned, which was an added bonus. It gave us great peace of mind knowing the kitties were in such good hands. We’d definitely be happy to have Nouha care for them again!
Jason was punctual and made sure to always send me photos of my cats while I was gone. I had been dealing with some anxiety about leaving my geriatric cat alone while I was on vacation but with Jasons thorough check ins I felt at ease knowing they were all in good hands. I definitely will be using him again for my next trips away from home to ensure I can relax without worrying about my kitties. Thanks Jason! Go Pacers!
Raven really liked Jamie! She’s usually very shy and tends to run and hide whenever we have guests, so it meant a lot to see her feel so comfortable with Jamie. Jamie is wonderful with cats, and she sent the sweetest photos and videos while I was away. I highly recommend her and would absolutely book with her again!
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!

Frequently asked questions about Rover
The average cost for Cat Sitting in Indianapolis on Rover is $19.98 per visit (as of September 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 September 2026, there are 1,298 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:
- 92% of sitters can help with special care needs
- 94% can help with giving oral medications or injections
- 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.
