Cameron took wonderful care of our cats while we were away. He was kind, gentle, and incredibly thoughtful with them. He spent quality time playing with them and kept us updated every day with photos and videos, which gave us so much peace of mind. Our cats are naturally shy, but Cameron was patient and let them warm up at their own pace, it was amazing to see that they had opened up to him within just two days. Beyond being fantastic with pets, Cameron is also a genuinely pleasant person to talk to. We couldn’t have asked for a better sitter and would happily book him again!

We had a unique situation where while we were on vacation, my father-in-law needed help scooping litter. Paul did a wonderful job helping with litter, cleaning the area of scattered litter, and even playing with our cats while we were away. We appreciated his professionalism and help very much and would recommend him to anyone needing pet care!!

Kim is very friendly, courteous and polite. My dogs immediately took a liking to Kim and showed her how comfortable they were with her while holding them in her arms. As soon as my dogs were placed on Kim's lap, they stopped barking (usually a constant barkers) and became calm. Kim's secure, loving affection she conveys has a valuable impact to my dogs' temperaments.

Brittany has always been reliable as a drop in Sitter for our two very active dogs. She give some water is great with cleaning them off if it’s wet outside and ensures that they get to stretch their legs and play in our fenced in backyard. I would recommend Brittany.

About: I've always had a love for dogs, and I treat every pet with the same patience, kindness, and care I'd want for my own. I have about two years of pet sitting experience, including caring for a rescued Doberman with high anxiety and fear-based behaviors. Through consistency, patience, and lots of positive reinforcement, I earned his trust and watched him become much more confident and less reactive. I also enjoy caring for senior dogs and understand that they often need a slower pace, extra attention, and plenty of affection. I'm experienced in giving oral medications, following detailed feeding schedules, and sticking to each pet's routine to help them feel comfortable and secure. I only care for one client's pets at a time, so your dog will receive my full attention and personalized care. Whether your pet enjoys long walks, playtime, or simply relaxing with a loving companion, I'll make sure they feel safe, happy, and well cared for while you're away. Pet care fits naturally into my routine, and I make sure every pet in my care receives plenty of attention and love. I work full-time Monday through Friday from 8:00 a.m. to 5:00 p.m., so weekends are when I'm most available for boarding and pet sitting. During the week, I'm a great fit for dogs who are house-trained, comfortable being home while I'm at work, and able to hold their bladder until I return. I carefully follow each pet's feeding schedule, medication routine, and care instructions to keep their day as consistent as possible. On weekends, I'm usually home most of the day, giving me plenty of time for walks, playtime, cuddles, and even car rides for dogs who enjoy them. My goal is to make every pet feel safe, comfortable, and right at home while you're away. Your pet's safety and comfort are my top priorities. I have a fully fenced backyard where dogs can safely enjoy time outside to play, explore, or simply relax when the weather is nice. Inside, my home has a spacious living area that's perfect for playtime especially for dogs who get the zoomies! I always follow each owner's care instructions, including feeding schedules, medication, potty breaks, and any special routines. I take the time to get to know every dog's personality so they feel comfortable and secure in my home. When caring for pets in a client's home, I respect both your home and your pet's routine. I make every effort to keep their schedule as consistent as possible so they feel safe, relaxed, and well cared for while you're away.

About: Grew up with multiple dogs of all sizes. Current proud father of two cats. Love walking and running so why not add a friend. As a firefighter I am looking to to help in any way I can on my days off! Full time fireman so I work an odd schedule. 24 hour shifts with 24 hours off in between. Built in with four days off in a row, so off days I am free all day! With lots of free time on my off days, I can easily travel to watch and check up on all pets. I stay pretty active so love adding walks and play with pets!

Bell was so intentional throughout the process - from understanding what my cat needed to thoroughly letting me know how my cat was doing while I was away. She even found him a fun bird channel on YouTube to play for him. I felt at peace knowing my cat was being cared for and considered from afar. Definitely recommend her!

About: A few years ago, I lost both my very senior dogs, which I adopted as puppies from the shelter. As you can imagine, there's a dog-shaped space in my life. I'm not ready to adopt again, but that means your dog has a second home! Other than errands, I’m home all day with your dog. (If they like car rides, they’re welcome to join me for school dropoff and pickup!) My yard is fenced and shady, and there are plenty of sidewalks for adventures around the neighborhood. If your pet needs a crate, please provide it.

About: Like many pet parents, I often rely on friends, coworkers, and family to help check in on our fur babies when my wife and I travel for work. While that support is invaluable, it doesn’t always line up—and when it doesn’t, it can add unnecessary stress to an already busy trip. Because of this, I truly understand how challenging and stressful it can be to leave your pets behind. That’s why I offer reliable pet care services for fellow pet parents who travel frequently or simply need an extra helping hand. My services include check-ins, walking, and house sitting. At home, we have five cats: one 16-year-old geriatric grump and four energetic “crazies” ranging from 3–5 years old. Each has a unique personality, but all share a love for food and plenty of belly and head rubs. I specialize in cat care, as cats are often misunderstood as being “easy.” While some are, others require more attention and emotional support—something I know firsthand. Cats, like people, can experience separation anxiety, stress, and even depression when their routines change. My own cat, Chuck Roast, is a perfect example and always needs extra care when I travel. This has taught me how important it is to understand and respect each cat’s individual needs and personality. While cat care is my specialty, I also have experience caring for dogs. I’m always happy to meet you and your pets beforehand to make sure it’s a great fit and that everyone feels comfortable before moving forward. I know your pet is a cherished member of your family, and I promise to care for them with the same love, patience, and attention they deserve. I work out or RTP and have a very flexible schedule to support your pet care needs. Please reach out and let me know your unique needs. My rates are flexible. Always happy to discuss this to see how my services can help your needs. I work a pretty set schedule and am able to walk your pets, let them out to potty, do check-ins and feed them, or house sit at your place(dependent on my schedule and if I’m traveling for work)! If interested, we can see how I can help!

About: I have put a lot of effort in understanding dog behavior. My dog’s and I’s relationship is at the core of my daily life. All dogs are different but they all deserve a good walk and an enriching play session. I work from home, and enjoy having breaks throughout the day. I have the flexibility to work when I want, so with notice, I can make any scheduling work. I know dogs have specific ways they like to play and favorite walking soots, so feel free to let me know of their favorite games, locations, etc. I am also very creative, and will likely put in my own knowledge in engaging with your pet.

I wish I could leave 10 statrs because she deserves it. I've never used this app and she was the first Individual I hired. Constant updates with pictures and descriptions of the visit that made us laugh out loud. Sam went above and beyond to ensure they had water, sweep up their poop motel (Litter Robot) and actually spend time with my babies. She is amazing and I was able to tell my family about the app as well. Thank you Sam for everything, you're always welcomed in our home.

If I could give Paul a million stars, I would. We were halfway around the world and he took such good care of our two cats. The cats needed to be kept separatelt, essentially necessitating two separate visits from him, and it didn’t faze him at all. He gave us consistent feedback about how our girls were doing - a much-needed comfort when we were so far away. He clearly cares about pets and it shows.

Brynn took excellent care of my two kitties for a week. They are a bit shy with strangers and did hide from her, which I knew they would, but she managed to get a quick photo to send to me. She arrived promptly for our meet and greet and did everything I asked of her during the week I was gone. She is great! I will hire her again. You can trust your fur babies to Brynn's care!

Frequently asked questions about Rover

The average cost for Cat Sitting in Joyland on Rover is $19.98 per visit (as of July 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 July 2026, there are 2,589 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 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 Joyland. On Rover:

  • 91% of sitters can help with special care needs
  • 96% can help with giving oral medications or injections
  • 94% 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.
