Paul was fantastic on every level. I managed this booking for my girlfriend and he didn’t bat an eyelid, just made sure everything was safe and kosher. He sent pictures, spent time with the pets, and gave detailed memos of each visit. At one point he found out the they were unexpectedly missing some supplies and took the initiative to go pick some up for us. If you need someone absolutely solid, professional, and friendly, Paul is your man. Five stars is not enough.

Kim was absolutely amazing with our two senior cats! She followed their feeding routine perfectly, sent the cutest daily pics and updates, and kept us so informed and at ease the whole time. One of our cats warmed up to her right away, and the other one is a certified weirdo with strangers who actually chose to be around her instead of hiding under the bed (for our weirdo, that's basically a five star review). We will definitely be booking Kim again and highly recommend her to anyone who wants their furry babies in wonderful hands.

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! ❤️

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!

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.

I can’t recommend Annalise enough! She has been checking in on my French Bulldog puppy, Prada, while I’m at work, and the experience has been fantastic. As a first-time puppy owner, leaving a young puppy alone was stressful, but they immediately put my mind at ease. She is reliable, communicative, and clearly loves animals. She always sends photos and updates during their visits, which I look forward to and really appreciate throughout the day. Prada absolutely loves them and gets excited when they come by, which tells me everything I need to know about the care and attention she’s receiving. Knowing she is getting potty breaks, playtime, and affection while I’m away has been invaluable. Thank you for taking such great care of Prada. I will gladly be booking again and highly recommend them to anyone looking for a trustworthy, caring pet sitter! All around a genuinely good person and it shows for sure I couldn’t have asked for better!

I can't express enough how incredibly accommodating Bell was. I didn't have to worry about anything while away. She went above and beyond to make sure my dog was as comfortable as possible. Bell is attentive, responsive, and flexible with any changes or last minute requests. I will no doubt be using Bell in the future.

About: I’ve been around animals my whole life and have always felt a strong connection to them. I’m currently a graduate student in Animal Science, which has deepened my understanding of animal behavior, health, and care. I’ve cared for my own dogs and cats for years and have experience working with cattle, sheep, horses, reptiles, and mice. I’ve also volunteered with animal rescues, fostering and helping animals feel safe and ready for adoption. My experience working on a dairy farm and being closely connected to farm environments through my family’s ranch has given me hands-on experience caring for many species beyond just dogs and cats. I’m comfortable in a wide range of situations, from energetic puppies to shy pets that need extra patience. I follow routines closely, can give medications, and pay attention to small changes in behavior to help keep pets safe and healthy. I also enjoy playtime and can reinforce basic training when it’s part of their routine. I understand how much trust it takes to leave your pet and your home in someone else’s care. My goal is to keep your pet safe, comfortable, and stress-free while you’re away. I treat every pet as what they are—family—and believe they deserve care, respect, and attention. I’m currently a graduate student, which gives me a flexible schedule and allows me to dedicate consistent time to pet care throughout the day. I’m available for walks, drop-ins, and can adjust my routine to match your pet’s needs. Please feel free to reach out to discuss availability. I’m happy to work with your schedule. My goal is to make your pet feel as comfortable as possible while you’re away. I focus on creating a calm, safe environment where pets feel cared for and at ease. In your home, I follow your pet’s routine closely, from feeding and walks to playtime and rest, so nothing feels disrupted. I pay attention to their behavior and needs, including medications if needed. I treat your home with respect and provide regular updates so you can feel confident everything is going well.

Brittney did a fantastic job watching my sweet Logan during the Thanksgiving holiday. My dog is anxious and shy of strangers. That said, Brittney was patient with her and gained her trust. Brittney kept me up to date with her check-ins and communicated when she had questions or needed additional information from me. I would highly recommend her!

Anna is the BEST. My dog is anxious with new people and Anna makes her feel so comfortable. She gives the best updates and takes lots of photos for their report card. She always leaves our house cleaner than she found it and will follow exactly what your pup’s routine is. She’s even teaching her some new tricks. I couldn’t recommend her enough

Will definitely be my go-to sitter! My cats love her (and my corgi has also decided she can be a new best friend), and she took the time to really lovingly care for the kitties. Awesome person, and went above and beyond! (Even vacuumed up some extra kibble my kitties left behind) 100/10, will be hiring again.

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!

FAQs for Drop-In Visits - Joyland

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.
