About: I have worked for boarding facilities before, one that had no kennels and one that did. I have had lots of experience taking care of dogs and cats, giving oral medications, and watching them during the day to day. I love animals and always think of them as a part of your family. I am available everyday except for Tuesday's and Thursday's. As long as I have two days notice I have no issue doing check-ins, walks, or watching your furry friends with whatever schedule works best! Due to my previous experience with boarding facilities, I am well trained to follow instructions left by owners. Whatever schedule my clients have I will adapt to and perform, so that their pet won’t get confused or distressed by the change in schedule. I make sure to give special love and attention to each and every pet I care for.

About: I’ve had various dogs throughout my life so I’ve had lots of experience taking care of them. My chocolate lab also gave birth to 9 puppies so I’ve had experience taking care of new borns and also training them. I’m currently in college classes so I have several hours throughout the day to drop in, take walks and I am able to stay overnight. My pets are very well cared for and very much part of our family. In clients home, I will care for their animals as my own and comply with any requests they have in regards to their pet.

About: I’ve grown up around dogs my entire life! I’ve been around dogs of all breeds, sizes, and ages, from little puppies to older dogs. My grandma also fostered dogs, so I was always surrounded by them growing up! I have 4 years of pet-sitting experience, but I’ve also grown up taking care of our own dogs my whole life. people always tell me how much their dogs love me! I absolutely adore animals and would treat your fur babies like my own! I’m a college student with a flexible schedule since most of my classes are online! I’m available all day Monday, Wednesday, Friday, Saturday, and Sunday. I have in-person classes Tuesday and Thursday but can discuss morning or evening visits. I’m also happy to stay overnight in your home! Your pet’s safety and happiness are my top priorities! I’ll always follow their normal routine, respect your home, and give them plenty of love and attention. I’m also happy to send pictures and updates so you know your fur baby is in good hands!

About: I've taken care of cats for 30 years and have always loved all Animals, even those that many are scared of. I take the care of Pets very seriously to ensure they are always safe, comfortable, and happy. It's a tailored experience because no two Animals are alike. I currently have a very flexible work schedule and can easily check in on Cats throughout the day, 7 days a week. I do not travel during holidays, I stay home with my own Cat and Dog so I am available for all the major and minor holidays. I do have my own Cat and Dog but I would not bring either on trips to care for a Client's Cat. The safety and comfort of a Client's cat in their own home while their parents are away is the most important part of this process.

“I recently had Madison house sit and pet sit for nearly two weeks, and I couldn't have asked for a better experience. She took wonderful care of my cat, playing with him multiple times a day and regularly sending pictures so I always knew how he was doing. It's clear she genuinely loves animals. I came home to a happy, relaxed cat, just as I had left him. Madison was also incredibly responsive throughout the stay. Any time I had a question, she replied quickly and put my mind at ease. She also left the house in great shape, which I really appreciated. Leaving your pet with someone new can be a worrisome experience, but I never felt anxious once with Madison. I was completely at ease knowing my cat and home were in such capable, caring hands. I would highly recommend her to anyone looking for a trustworthy, attentive pet sitter, and I will absolutely be hiring her again without hesitation.”

About: I have cared for pets of all sizes, ages, and needs! I am comfortable with caring for animals needing extra attention, elder pets, administering medication if needed, and making it my standard to treat your pet like my own! I myself have two kitties and a dog, so I know how important it is that they are around people with relaxing and good energy, which I can provide! A fun fact about me is that I am an Air Force veteran, so I am responsible and reliable!! I am currently a full-time student at Sacramento State, so I am at school from 9-10:15am Monday through Thursday starting this fall, which allows me to be available for your pet before and after class! I also work part-time from home on Mondays and Wednesdays and Fridays :) When I pet sit, I make sure that I leave the space I am pet sitting in just as it was when I arrived, if not cleaner. I respect the environments I am welcomed into and show my gratitude for any opportunity to fill a space by treating it as my own!

“Isabella arrived right on time for Mazie’s drop-in walk and kept me updated throughout. She was attentive and communicative, and best of all, she sent photos from their time together—I loved seeing Mazie enjoying the outing. Isabella clearly cares about the dogs in her care. Mazie was happy when she got home. Couldn’t ask for better. Will definitely book again!”

About: Hi! I’m Tarron — lifelong animal lover, rescue director, and experienced handler with years of hands-on experience caring for dogs of all ages, sizes, temperaments, and medical needs and many other animals including cats, ducks, goats, bunnies. I’m the Executive Director of a nonprofit animal rescue and have extensive experience with: * rescue and anxious dogs * senior dogs * puppies * medication administration * decompression and slow introductions * leash handling and structured walks * dogs recovering from surgery/injury * reactive or fearful dogs I understand that every dog is different and I always prioritize safety, patience, structure, and making dogs feel comfortable and secure. Because I have animals of my own and run a rescue, I currently focus on: * drop-in visits * dog walking * medication visits * structured enrichment walks * pet transport/help with vet visits I’m especially comfortable with dogs that may need a little extra understanding or experience beyond a typical pet sitter/walker. Reliable, communicative, calm, and genuinely passionate about animal welfare. I currently work as a program manger for adults with special needs, and manage a small team of individuals. Mornings and evening are best. As well as Tuesdays, and weekends. I do not provide pet care in my own home at this time, but I will gladly come to yours and spend time with your fur babies!

“Sienna took amazing care of my kitties for the weekend and made me feel super relaxed and comfortable. My cats are very shy but she got them out of their shells the first day with her attentiveness and care. Sienna did an excellent job communicating throughout the weekend and sent me a ton of pictures of my cats which made me so happy! I would absolutely recommend her to anyone- you can really tell she cares deeply for animals.”

About: I have always been an animal lover. Had my boy Oliver for almost 18 years from puppy to super senior. I am an ER nurse so highly competent taking care of medical needs. Love to hike or go on walks equally love snuggling if the dog prefers less active time. I am an ER nurse and only work 3 days a week so lots of free time for pet sitting/ walking/ boarding or pop ins. I have my own house with a good sized fully fenced in yard and a doggie door. Love to hike and be active with the dogs but can also give snuggles and be less active.

About: Over the past 5 years, I've been providing dog walking and dog sitting services. My general duties include feeding, walking, playing with, and administering medication to dogs. I also make sure to follow any specific instructions or routines that each dog may have. I’m currently working part and I am a full time student. I work 3-4 days a week from 3AM-11:30AM. I make openings in my schedule for any work or help needed necessary. Additionally, pet care is a central part of my daily routine. I have been walking and feeding a now grown up puppy named Mia for about 3 and a half years now. I make sure to schedule time for feeding, walking, and playing with the dog that I care for. I always keep a close eye on each dog's behavior and health to ensure that they are happy and healthy. I care for pets in the clients home making sure they are fed and have easy access to food and water. I also closely follow the instructions their owners have left for me. I would typically make sure the pet did not use the bathroom in the house/area the pet is. If I were to board a pet at my home I’d make sure my dog is in a friendly mood to interact and I would make sure the clients pet is safe and fed the correct food.

FAQs for Cat Sitting - Jayhawk

Frequently asked questions about Rover

The average cost of Cat Sitting in Jayhawk is $14 per visit as of November 2026. Most bookings cost between $14 and $18 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 501 sitters on Rover offering Cat Sitting across Jayhawk. 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.

Yes, you can find sitters who have experience with handling special pet needs in Jayhawk. On Rover:

  • 91% of sitters can help with special care needs
  • 93% can help with giving oral medications or injections
  • 90% 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.
