“Autumn was very nice and communicative! She cared a ton about the cats and asked many questions in order for her to take care of them to the best of her ability! The wellbeing of our cats seemed to be her top priority!”
“Natalie did a fantastic job watching my cats with drop-in visits while I was away on a business trip. This was the first time that they didn’t ignore me when I got home from being away for multiple days, so I think they approved of her too!”
“Fabulous! So kind and flexible in picking up the keys. Was very loving to my Daisy girl and gave her lots of love! I loved the report cards with lots of photos!”
“Maja was AMAZING! I had a prolonged power outage while away and she not only stopped in additional times to make sure my cat was ok/not too hot/auto-feeder was working, she also offered to clean out my fridge so it wouldn’t be full if spoiled food when I returned. She definitely went above and beyond!”
“Sarah took wonderful care of our cat! Our cat was more comfortable around her as a new petsitter for him than any sitter we’ve had before. She was very responsive and great working with us for a last minute booking. Thank you, Sarah!”
“Timothy went above and beyond for us and our cats! We hired Timothy because we had a trip planned, but one of our cats got sick and needed someone to give him meds while we were gone. Timothy did a great job with giving our cat multiple medications in both pill and liquid form. Our cats really liked Timothy too and would beg him for pets. We also loved that Timothy sent thorough updates with pictures after every visit. Aside from doing the job description excellently, he was very flexible and helpful when our plans changed. We had to adjust the dates and almost had to cancel, but Timothy was very kind and understanding about it all. We also had a small emergency while we were gone - our apartment building’s fire alarm was triggered, and we had no idea if it was a real fire or false alarm. Timothy didn’t hesitate to head right over to check out the situation and help our cats calm down. We would not have felt comfortable going on our trip if it hadn’t been for Timothy; we knew our cats would be in good hands. Timothy understands how important pets are to their owners and genuinely wants to help. We will absolutely hire him again and encourage others to do the same!”
“Jena is our regular cat sitter and is great! She always sends great pictures and is very reliable and easy to communicate with. Our shy kitties are comfortable around her as well!”
“100% recommend Haley for cat drop-in visits. I appreciated the prompt and thorough communication throughout our interactions and value the detailed updates and photos. My time away and return home were both easier given Haley's superb work.”
“Alexis was fantastic for drop in visits for our cat. Our cat was happy and comfortable when we returned home. Alexis was also very prompt and communicative with the drop in visits and we appreciated all of the kind updates and pictures. She did a great job checking in on our cat & home and we would definitely book with Alexis again.”
“This was my first experience with Rover, and Latrice surpassed any and all expectations, and quelled any concerns I had going into it. She sent me lots of updates and took the best care of my cats! I don’t even feel guilty for leaving them for the weekend because they were definitely in great hands! Thank you SO much Latrice!”
“Damica was incredible! Super reliable and flexible with some last-minute pet sitting needs. Great with communication and Storm loved the walks! Definitely hope to choose Damica for future needs.”
“Jessica was extremely thorough, thoughtful, and took care of our cats as if they were her own. She was very responsive and sent many pictures of them. We are still having her care for them while we are away, but would rebook in future needs!”
About: I have grown up with dogs of different kinds in my family. I have also taken care of my friends' dogs and fostered. I love spending time with them, playing and walking- it gives my life a beautiful meaning. I have a dog now, and I realize how it feels to entrust someone the responsibility of taking care of your best friend. In your absence, I will take care of your furry family as my own and do whatever they need to make sure they are as happy as they can be! I can also provide any medicine if they require any. I am available on weekends and holidays. But I work very close to my home. So I can come and check on your furry friend if and when needed. At your home and while drop in visits, I can look after your pet uaccording to your instructions. At my apartment, I can crate your dog while resting time and will walk them in adjacent areas. I can also take them to parks nearby.
“Sebastian was terrific with my pups. Took the time to meet each one and ask questions before hand. Then during the drop-ins took pictures and sent details of how my 2 dogs were doing each day. I felt very confident that they were in good hands while I wasn't able to be home.”
About: Hi! I’m a lifelong animal lover who understands that every pet has their own unique personality, routine, and needs. Whether your cat is playful and outgoing, shy and independent, or loves endless cuddles, I’m committed to making them feel safe, comfortable, and loved while you’re away. I know how important it is to have someone you can trust with your pet, so I’ll treat them like they’re my own. During each visit, I’ll provide fresh food and water, clean litter boxes, playtime, enrichment, affection (on their terms!), and plenty of updates with photos so you can relax knowing they’re in great hands. I’m reliable, detail-oriented, and happy to follow your pet’s normal routine, including administering medications if needed and accommodating any special care instructions. My goal is to keep your pet happy and your mind at ease while you’re away. I can’t wait to meet you and your furry family members!

About: Cats and dogs seek me out for cuddles and play time. I've watched pitties, boxer mixes, any type of cat. I'm great with lap kitties, who just want to be cozy. My Bram loves to watch action movies or LOTR with me. I'm usually working on a farm and occasionally deliverling food or flowers to businesses. It is easy to fit in stops to check on pets. I won't rush them when we meet. I'm patient. Every pet has their own routine or vibe and deserve my respect in their home. Saftey first, for everyone.
About: I have taken care of animals all my life, from cats to dogs. I have helped take care of my dogs at home by feeding them, bathing them, cleaning up after them, and administering their medicine. I am a graduate student here and hope to help out on weekends. My schedule can be busy, but I am willing to work around my schedule to best suit you and your pet! I would ensure that it is a safe environment, where dangers such as glass shattering or heavy objects are moved to safe places. I also want to ensure they feel comfortable, so taking the time for the animal to get to know me is important.

Cat parents share their Rover experiences - Indianapolis
Lindi was awesome, as always. I never have to worry if my cat is getting enough love and attention because Lindi puts her whole heart into caring for the animals she’s watching. She’s great with medicating, being prompt in responding and sending lots of pictures. Mason and I thank you soooo much! 🩷
Maja took such great care of Weezer! She knows how to interact with cats and always remembers his little preferences. I loved getting regular photo updates, and I felt completely at ease knowing he was in good hands. This was my second time having Maja watch Weezer, and I’ll definitely book her again!
I would highly recommend hiring Jason to check in on your pets while you’re away. Jason is communicative, dilligent, helpful, and kind. I made a mistake and left too little food for my cats. Jason made sure to let me know so we could work out a plan to have some cat food delivered. However, Jason was willing to go above and beyond to even pick up some food from my cats from the store!! He didn’t end up needing to do so, but the fact that he had offered it speaks volumes about his dedication to the pets he watches. A fantastic pet-sitter and a wonderful human!
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!

Frequently asked questions about Rover
The average cost of Cat Sitting in Indianapolis is $20 per visit as of November 2026. Most bookings cost between $14 and $30 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 379 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 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.

- 88% of sitters can help with special care needs

- 91% 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.
