“Cameron was fantastic with our kitty while we were out of town. He responded very quickly when I reached to inquire about his availability and continued to be very communicative the entire time we were gone. Provided many pictures and updates. Also, a super chill and friendly person with great vibes. My cat was comfortable around him immediately. I will 100% be booking Cameron again!”

“Emma did a great job taking care of my cat while I was away! My cat always looked happy to see her in the awesome pictures I received each day, and they seemed to get along very well. It was also very easy to communicate with Emma during my trip when I had a few things come up unexpectedly. It was so great to know that my house and my pet were in good hands. I would absolutely book again!”

“We boarded our cat with Kim our first time ever traveling without him. Kim put our minds at ease and would frequently update us to assure us that he was doing well. She was flexible and worked with our changing travel plans. Her cats were also great and got along with ours without issue. Kim is super reliable and an amazing sitter. Would definitely recommend her and will be booking her again!”

“Rachel was fantastic and very caring! One of my cats had some health issues come up right before our trip and needed daily meds and additional feedings, and Rachel was very flexible and accommodating of several last minute changes, and she was able to get my picky boy to take his meds. Both cats are skittish of strangers but seemed to quickly warm up to her and be very comfortable around her. She sent detailed updates and pictures which made me feel at ease.”

About: I have always had a deep love for animals, and caring for them has been a natural part of my life. From energetic puppies and kittens to senior pets, who need more patience and comfort, I truly enjoy getting to know each animal's unique personality. I currently own 3 big dogs, each with their own unique needs - they are such a joy to take care of each day. Whether your pet likes long walks, endless fetch and playtime, or quiet companionship, I am more than happy to meet them where they're most comfortable. 🐾 For the summer months, my availability is wide open! Weekdays and weekends as needed. As a middle school teacher, I provide care and compassion no matter the day. During the "back to school season" - I will still prioritize the care needed regardless, and will make scheduling work to the best of my ability! I have a big fenced in yard for my three dogs at home. For drop-in visits, walks, and check-ins, I provide the absolute best care given the environment (Fresh water, food, and playtime always). With NC heat, I make sure to prioritize pet health and wellness alongside their happiness. Each animal is unique and I make sure to take all factors and needs into consideration with each visit! ❤️

“Anna was fantastic with my cat! She did drop in visits as well as house sitting. I got daily updates and photos and felt like she took such good care of him. I’m typically very anxious when I leave my cat, but I felt so relaxed when Anna was there. Would highly recommend Anna to take care of your pets!”

About: I've been surrounded by cats and dogs my entire life and have over 9 years of hands-on experience caring for them. I'm comfortable with feeding, playtime, walks, litter box cleaning, and giving plenty of love and attention. I also have experience caring for pets with medical needs. I cared for my own dog with epilepsy, administering his medication every day, and have helped nurse sick cats back to health by giving medication and closely monitoring their recovery. I understand how important it is to have someone you can trust with your pets, and I'll care for them as if they were my own. I'm self-employed, which gives me a flexible schedule and allows me to provide dependable, attentive care throughout the day. Whether your pet needs a drop-in visit, a walk, medication, or extra playtime, I'm happy to work with your schedule whenever possible. I understand that every pet has different needs, and I strive to provide consistent, reliable care that fits their routine. I know how important it is to trust someone with both your pets and your home. I'll follow your pet's routine as closely as possible, whether that means feeding, walks, playtime, litter box cleaning, administering medication, or simply keeping them company. I'll always treat your home with respect, keep you updated with photos and messages, and make sure your pet feels safe, comfortable, and loved while you're away.

About: I’ve pet sat my friends animals, and they’ve had so many! Senior dogs that have accidents and have behavioral issues. Exotic pets, of many kids. Every morning, I fill the cat and water bowl in my room, weekly I clean the bowls. For my dogs, whenever my parents don’t feed them cause they are out, I feed them and fill their water. I brush their coats, and try to give them baths every few weeks or so! However the pet parents would like, but I care for what is best for their health. I understand each pet is different and needs different things. I can bathe the animals depending on behavior, my right leg doesn't haven't as much feeling since surgery and cant handle a lot of big pressure.

About: **Please note - Currently I only offer cat care. I've had cats since I was five years old - Christopher (my orange marmalade boy), Midnight (my classic black & white), Smores (my temperamental tortie), Spencer (my fluffy buff boy), and now 11 yr old siblings Frankie (my lovable goofball) and Lola (my fluffy petite diva). They make me laugh, cheer me up when I'm down, drive me a little nuts (Stop knocking that off the counter Frankie!) and in general, make everyday better! I'm an obsessive daily litter box scooper because who wants to live with a stinky box! My current two kids are super used to having their nails clipped, so if your kids are comfortable with that, I've got you covered. And I've had to administer plenty of meds, both pills and topicals. I love to carry on conversations with them and listen to them tell me all about their day (lounging in the sun is such hard work), snuggle up with them on the couch, or give them their space when they just aren't feeling social (we've all been there!). I'll show your kids the same love and care I show my own because I can't imagine our lives without them! After a lifetime of cats, I adopted my first dog seven years ago from Saving Grace. Sofie is an 18lb peanut who is probably a mix of Miniature Pincher and Dachshund and somewhere between 10-12 yrs old. She joined two cats, who thankfully, were quite accepting of her. I currently work from home and have a pretty flexible schedule. Fitting in visits with your kids in the mornings or early afternoons will not be a problem. Before booking, I require a meet and greet. This is important for both of us and to make sure we're a good fit and comfortable with each other. If I all goes well and booking occurs, written, detailed information/instructions are greatly appreciated. I want to make sure I give your kids the best possible care, while they are in my care!

Paul was wonderful! He accommodated our last-minute request to care for Fenway, Peter Parker, and Goose over a long weekend, and we couldn’t have been happier. His communication was excellent, every visit was right on time, and he brought such a kind, warm, and gentle presence to our pets. It was clear they were in great hands, which gave us real peace of mind while we were away. We’re so grateful for his care and would absolutely book with him again. Highly recommend!

Bell is a 5-star Rover worker. My niece needed immediate admittance to the hospital last week. Care for her cat needed to be arranged within 24 hours. Bell stepped up and accepted the assignment immediately, working my niece’s cat into her schedule as best she could on the first day and at the same time of day for the remainder of the week. She demonstrated genuine care for Taz. She photographed the two of them together to demonstrate her time with the cat and her connection with him.

We had to make a last minute change for cat sitting - we chose Trevor! And, glad we did. He was able to come over straight away and get the run down on our 2 cats. He asked all the right questions, and better yet, he showed up every day and provided thorough updates. His kindness was a perk! Pick Trevor😻🐕‍🦺

FAQs for Cat Sitting - Joyland

Frequently asked questions about Rover

The average cost of Cat Sitting in Joyland is $20 per visit as of November 2026. Most bookings cost between $16 and $28 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 832 sitters on Rover offering Cat Sitting across Joyland. 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 Joyland. On Rover:

  • 88% of sitters can help with special care needs
  • 93% can help with giving oral medications or injections
  • 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.
