“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 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😻🐕‍🦺”

“Kim took such great care of my cat for three nights!! He is quite energetic but she went above and beyond to care for him by taking him out for walks, playing, and made sure to send lots of pictures. Kim's love for animals comes across clearly in the way she treats pets and her communication as a sitter is excellent. I hope she will come back to help us out again!!”

About: I have been caring for a variety of pets for as long as I can remember. Growing up, we always had at least three to four animals in our home, and I’ve had the opportunity to care for many different species, breeds, sizes, and personalities. I currently have two cats of my own, and they are truly my pride and joy. I have also spent the past few years volunteering at an animal shelter in Cincinnati, where I gained experience working with dogs of all backgrounds, personalities, and behavior styles, as well as assisting in the medical clinic. This experience has helped me better understand animal behavior, patience, and the importance of providing compassionate care for every pet’s individual needs. I love getting to know each animal’s personality and will take the time to learn their routines, preferences, and boundaries. Whether your pet enjoys walks, playtime, cuddles, enrichment, or simply having a calm and caring presence nearby, I’m happy to provide care in the way that makes them happiest while giving you peace of mind that they are in great hands. I currently work in a research role that gives me the flexibility to come and go as needed, allowing me to provide reliable and attentive care throughout the day. I’m able to accommodate different routines and schedules to make sure your pet gets the attention, exercise, and companionship they need. Outside of work, I love spending time outdoors — running, biking, hiking, and going on walks — and would love to have your pet(s) join me for some adventures if that’s something they enjoy! At the same time, I’m just as happy spending a quiet afternoon on the couch with pets who prefer a slower pace. Whether your pet is active and loves exploring or is happiest relaxing at home, I’m happy to meet them where they are and provide care that fits their personality and routine. I have a fenced-in backyard available for quick potty breaks and a safe outdoor space when pets are staying with me. I also live close to walking trails and dog parks, giving dogs the opportunity for walks, enrichment, and exercise if that fits their routine and comfort level. I have two cats of my own who are an important part of my family. They have spent a lot of time around dogs through visits to my parents’ home, as well as when I have brought dogs home for day trips and foster stays from my time volunteering at the animal shelter. I understand that every pet has different comfort levels, so I always prioritize slow introductions, supervision, and making sure all animals feel safe and comfortable. When caring for pets in a client’s home, I treat your space with the same respect I would want for my own. I am neat, tidy, and attentive, and I will leave your home exactly as I found it while making sure your pet receives the care, attention, and routine they are used to.

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 working with horses since I was 8 years old, along with all the furry creatures around them! I love all animals and make fast friends with most. I have experience in maintaining feeding and medication routines, house sitting (including multiple pets), play sessions, long walks (on the beach or otherwise), bath time, and keeping anxious pets company. I currently have a very flexible schedule as I pursue my modeling and acting career! I'm available until 5pm on weekdays and am flexible on weekends. I have two cats at home, so I do not offer boarding or daycare services at my home. I am more than happy to take care of your sweet babies in the comfort of your own home and make sure they get plenty of exercise and attention!

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.

“Demarcus is an awesome sitter and I’m so glad that I found him for my pup! I’m super appreciative of his he care for her -and for his excellent communication with me! My pup is pretty anxious and particular about things. Demarcus was intentional about following my care instructions and making my sweet but anxious pup feel comfortable while I was away! He also sent me some adorable pics of her and she genuinely seemed to enjoy spending time with him! Demarcus is very professional, reliable, considerate and an obvious animal lover! I’d highly recommend Demarcus to anyone looking for an experienced and dedicated pet sitter for their pups!”

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.

FAQs for Cat Sitting - Joyland

Frequently asked questions about Rover

The average cost of Cat Sitting in Joyland is $20 per visit as of October 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 October 2026, there are 2,594 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 .

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 , 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 .

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

  • 90% of sitters can help with special care needs
  • 94% 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 , 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.
