“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.”
“Ethan was great & helped me out with a last minute booking for a work trip. My rottie who is apprehensive with strangers did great with him and I came home to two very happy dogs. Ethan was respectful of my home and responded quickly any time I reached out. Would book again, thank you Ethan!!”
“Gigi did a great job bonding with my super shy cat over a two week stay. She kept a consistent schedule, made sure Lumi got her daily Delectables treat, swept up tracked cat litter, and emptied the trash before I got home. She also quickly answered multiple texts from me during the stay. I’m planning on booking her for future cat sitting and recommend her to others!”
“Natalie was amazing with my high-maintenance kitty! She gave him lots of attention and provided great updates with delightful pictures and notes. She followed all my instructions and I felt very comfortable leaving my pet in her care. I’ll definitely be booking with her again!”
“My dog rarely lets someone new pet him, but he let Ellen pet him, and I'm grateful for that. Her calm demeanor is what he needed. Ellen is responsive and reliable. She came through the snow storm to be with my dog.”
“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.”
About: I officially started dog sitting four years ago, taking care of dogs that have personalities that range from requiring very active playtime to cuddle bugs that would rather lounge and receive attention. I currently have a flexible schedule, which means I can adapt my schedule to your pet’s needs. Whether your pet needs regular walks, playtime, companionship, or simply someone to check in on them throughout the day, I’m happy to work around their routine and make sure they receive the care and attention they deserve. At client’s homes, safety is a top priority, when first meeting I request any emergency information for both the pet and the home. The more prepared I am the more at ease the client can be.
“Sarah was quick to respond and super easy to work with. We really appreciate her dropping in to feed Penny and give her a little attention. Will definitely contact her for care in the future.”
“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.”
“Maja took great care of our two pups! In addition to being flexible when schedules changed, she gave very detailed reports and took plenty of photos. We knew our dogs were in good hands!”
“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!”
“Elle was proactive in getting to know my bullmastiffs prior to our departure. She was mindful of their needs and checked- in when there was a question whether my dog needed medication. Great first time experience!”
About: I have 10+ years of pet sitting experience with dogs, cats, and birds, plus two years working at an animal shelter where I bathed, walked, and cared for dogs of all temperaments. I’m comfortable with everything from high-energy pups to shy or senior pets and always tailor my care to each animal’s needs. I offer walks and drop-in visits, and I’m happy to keep you updated with photos and messages while you’re away. As a pet parent to my cats, Beans and Rufus (and having grown up with my dogs, Wrigley and Gigi), I understand how important it is to trust someone with your pets—I treat them like my own! I work full time, but I am available after 5pm on weekdays. I’m very open most weekends and happy to work around your pet’s routine! . Your pet’s comfort, safety, and daily routine are my #1 priority. I provide calm, attentive care in their home, following feeding, walking, and play schedules as directed. I’m also comfortable with basic medication administration and always send updates and photos so you stay connected while you’re away.
“Khalil was very communicative and took great care of my cats! My instructions were followed exactly and my apartment was in great shape when I came home. Extra points for so many photos of the cats and clear care taken with them.”
About: I was a humane society volunteer for three years and have experience with dogs and cats of all ages and sizes! Looking forward to spending time with your furry friends! I am currently working remotely full-time, so most of my time is available on weekends or check-ins throughout the week! I am also a morning person! I have experience house-sitting, so taking care of your pets in your home should be nothing new for me! Will always give a few extra pets before I leave :)
“Haley continues to be a great sitter for my pugs and they love having her come spend time with her. I think my boy, Stewie likes her feeding him better than me. Overall, I would recommend her to anyone pet owner!!!”
“Monica did an outstanding job taking care of my senior dog and cat. Some special handling was necessary. Monica kept me updated twice a day with updates and lots of pictures. This was our first experience with Rover, and I couldn't be happier! Highly recommend! Thank you for taking such good care of them, Monica!”

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!
Maddie was amazing while we were in FL for a week! She went above and beyond taking care of Cali, our cat, the whole time — sent us photos and updates every single day so we always knew she was happy and doing well. Super reliable, great communicator, and you can just tell she genuinely cares about the animals she looks after. We already know we’re booking her again for our next trip. Highly recommend!
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
- 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.
