About: I’ve lived with pets since I was a little kid! I love animals of all kinds, and do my utmost to keep them happy and healthy. I have mainly experience with most types of cats, and smaller dogs. I'm currently off college for the summer, so pretty much any time should work with some notice! I have others at home to take care of my animals if I'm on an extended stay, so I can stay as long as needed. I do all I can to keep your pets happy and safe, I've looked after animals most of my life, so I believe I have some experience! I’ll ensure to follow any guidance you give, and give them plenty of love and care.
“5/5 Stars! I am absolutely thrilled with the exceptional care Hillary and her husband provided to my beloved dog, Taz! From the moment I dropped Taz off, I knew I was leaving him in capable and compassionate hands. Despite a few unexpected mishaps, including Taz's Houdini-like escape into a prepared crate in the house, Hillary and her husband handled the situation with professionalism and calm. They ensured Taz was safe, happy, and fed on time, giving me complete peace of mind while I was away. What truly sets Hillary and her husband apart, however, is the genuine love and care they show to the dogs in their charge. It's clear they have a deep passion for animals and take the time to understand each dog's unique personality and needs. I highly recommend Hillary and her husband to anyone seeking top-notch pet care. They are trustworthy, reliable, and truly exceptional in every way. Thank you both for taking such wonderful care of Taz – I'm forever grateful!”
“Aubree did a fabulous job. I got updates continually she let me know each day how Russell was doing. Russell looks really good after I got home. Super excited and really energetic and happy. I highly recommend her to anybody.”
“I couldn’t be happier with the care my dog received this weekend! From the start, they were communicative, reliable, and made me feel completely at ease while I was away. They treated my dog like family, provided updates, and made sure all of their needs were met. It was clear my dog was happy, comfortable, and well cared for. I would absolutely trust them again and highly recommend them to anyone looking for a caring and dependable dog sitter. Thank you so much for taking such great care of my pup!”
“Samantha was extremely helpful with my dog and 2 cats. When it game to a meet and greet Samantha was very thorough and asked a lot of questions to ensure she didn’t miss anything. She was super consistent with timing, and had great communication, send pictures daily. She is someone I trust in my home.”
“Rachel was wonderful with my dogs and made me feel comfortable leaving them in her care. She was right on schedule, which made me at ease leaving them alone inside. She sent updates and pictures, which were nice to receive. We will definitely use her again.”
“Sierra and Seth, both watched our giant dogs today! They did several drop-ins and made sure the dogs needs were very well met at each one. They are also very communicative, which was so important because we have a large dog with reactivity issues and behaviors. Sierra and Seth were very responsive to our dog's needs, and willing to adjust and adapt when our reactive dog needed different kinds of support. We would love for them to sit for us again and their help was irreplaceable!”
“I cannot say enough good things about my dog walker. He takes amazing care of my two big dogs — my little beasts — and handles them with confidence, calmness, and kindness. They absolutely adore him. He’s reliable, patient, and clearly experienced. I feel completely comfortable trusting him with my dogs, which is huge for me. Every walk is consistent, safe, and positive. If you’re looking for someone who genuinely cares about your pets and treats them like his own, he’s the one. Highly recommend!”

“We were super thrilled that Cole was available last minute to watch our two cats when we had to go away for a few days. Cole had excellent communication and we arrived home to a pair of healthy and happy cats. We’re glad to hear that our shy one, Mister, warmed up over the course of a couple days and that our more sociable one, Cherry, had a great time hanging with Cole. Would 100% book again and I highly recommend Cole to anyone with pets with medical needs.”
“Amanda was great with our super shy kitty. He even came out of hiding! A first for any sitter we’ve had. I highly recommend Amanda. She’s kind, caring and attended to every detail. Thank you so much! Tracy & Taylor”
“Irena is a sweetheart and very professional. We are so happy to have found her and hope to have her as the regular sitter for our two cats for a long time to come. We’ve already had her for three different trips. She’s the best.”
“It’s my first time using Rover, and Benjamin was a dream to work with. He was consistent with his check ins and sent a ton of pictures of my cats. He went above and beyond on several occasions and made my partner and I so comfortable knowing our cats were in good hands. If you’re in the fence, hire him immediately!”
“Sienna was a great sitter! She was reliable, took great care of our dogs and cats, and communicated wonderfully throughout our trip with updates and photos. It gave us so much peace of mind. We will definitely book with her again in the future! Thank you Sienna!”
“Justine is amazing with our dogs. She has been watching them regularly for a long time. Very reliable and communicative. We are so thankful for her continued help with our pups.”

Frequently asked questions about Rover
The average cost for Cat Sitting in Jayhawk on Rover is $14.43 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 1,578 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 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.

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.
