“Ariana went above and beyond to take care of our two kitties! One of them shattered a candle and she cleaned up the glass as well as a plant that they also knocked over. She was communicative and prompt and sent us great pics the whole week- our cat loved sitting in her lap! Thank you so much Ariana! We are really grateful.”

“Marion was so generous while checking on our cats during the holidays. She gave them extra love and attention above and beyond what we expected! We came home to very happy cats that were almost disappointed it was us walking in the door rather than her! Thank you so much, Marion!!”

“Ellena was wonderful to work with! She provided excellent care for my cat during a 3-night stay at her home. Communication was smooth and easy throughout the entire process - from initial booking to pickup. Most importantly, my cat came home completely relaxed and content, which tells me he was well cared for and comfortable in her home. I would definitely book with her again. Ellena’s reliable, communicative, and clearly cares about the animals in her care.”

About: I got my two pups when they were just 8 weeks old, and now they're 13 — so honestly, I've been through it all with dogs. The chaotic puppy zoomies, the teenage "selective hearing" phase, and now the sweet, slower senior years where they just want a comfy spot and a gentle walk. That means I genuinely get what your dog needs at whatever stage they're in, whether that's keeping up with their energy or being extra patient and gentle with achy joints and changing routines. Dogs have been part of my everyday life for over a decade, and I'd love for yours to feel just as at home with me. I'll treat them like my own — because that's really the only way I know how. I'm a stay-at-home wife, so dogs are already woven into the fabric of my everyday life — I'm home and available throughout the day, not squeezing pet care into a lunch break or the hour after work. Every day, I take my own dogs on a long walk of at least 1.5 miles, so your dog would be included in that same routine rather than getting a rushed, quick trip around the block. Beyond the walk, I build in time throughout the day for feeding, potty breaks, and playtime, and my evenings tend to be calmer — perfect for some quiet downtime or cuddle time before bed. Since I've had dogs for 13 years, this isn't something new I'm adding to my schedule — it's simply how my days already run, whether it's a puppy-energy day or a slower, senior-dog kind of day. Being home full-time means your dog gets consistent attention all day long, not just quick check-ins. I keep things as close to your dog's normal routine as possible — same feeding schedule, walks, and any specific instructions you give me. Familiar surroundings mean less stress for them, and I treat your home with the same care I'd want for my own.

About: Hi, my name is what? (Yessica), my name is who? (Dog whisperer), my name is chika chika ruff ruff 😎 I am a dog lover at heart. Growing up with dogs has truly been a blessing, they are a man’s best friend. You can trust your dog will feel at home. Our furr baby Blake passed away in October of 2025, he was the goodest boy and forever will be cherished in our hearts. We live next to a long trail perfect for peaceful walks. We love outdoor activities and now with the warmer weather your pup will get plenty of exercise. I will maintain any schedule you have and make sure your pup gets extra loving during their stay. Our home can accommodate for those with extra energy or older dogs who want to sleep in and cuddle all day. My husband works from home and would love the company of "mans best friend". We are off on weekends and have plenty of trails to explore. Your furr babies can expect a minimum of 3 walks per day, cuddles, food time on schedule, treats, and lots of toys and play time.

“Jazzel was awesome! No complaints at all. I needed someone to check on my cats while I was away, and even with very short notice, she was able to fit us in her schedule and took great care of them. She sent multiple photos during every visit, which gave me so much peace of mind, and even my super skittish scaredy cat warmed up to her after a few days. I would 100% recommend her, and she’ll definitely be my first choice the next time I need someone to care for my cats! :)”

“I simply cannot express the relief I had while traveling with Vanessa as my house/pet sitter. I have 2 cats and was babysitting my daughters cat, who arrived the day I left. Vanessa sent pics everyday of the cats snuggled with her or chilling in their fav spots! My trip was very unexpected, and it was my first time using Rover. I’ve always wary booked Vanessa again for a trip I had planned and was going to take my cat to my daughters, but it was so much more relaxing for them here in their home❤️”

About: I have experience with both cats and dogs, mostly in my personal life. I took two of my pups through levels 1 and 2 puppy training classes, which gave me sime insights on how dogs respond to us as humans. I can administer medications as prescribed if needed. I have no preference, big or small, woof or meow. I love them all. Please let me know what you need and we can make a plan to take care of your lovies. My schedule is often flexible for drop-ins and I can also do most holidays. I'm happy to take your fur baby for a walk or just snuggle and brush them. I can also serve their treats and entertain with their favorite toys. You decide what best serves your pet.

About: Lifelong pet lover & rescue dog mom! My affection for animals began at a young age. There were always dogs and cats in my home. As an adult, I have always had a dog I have provided dog walks, drop-in visits, and in-home care for family, friends, and private clients’ pets for decades. I'm comfortable with shy dogs, rescues, and seniors that need a little extra TLC. My priority is to make your furry family member feel safe, happy, and loved. I provide walks and drop-in visits between 8:00 a.m. and 7:00 p.m daily. For requests outside of my regular hours, additional fees may apply. Same-day appointments may be available. I follow your instructions to keep your pet’s routine consistent and stress-free. Whether it’s feeding, walks, playtime, or medications, I provide attentive and individualized care.

This was my first time using Rover and I was a bit anxious how it would go and giving a stranger access to our home. Especially because one of our 2 cats has kidney disease kitty and needs fluid injections every 2 days. But Sarah was absolutely lovely and awesome. You can see that she loved our two kitties, and it looks like everything went really well with our kidney patient. I got pictures and videos every day and they both warmed up easily to Sarah. Sarah gave me a real piece of mind while traveling and I will definitely book her next time I need a sitter ( if she is available). Thank you!!!

Ellen is reliable, conciencious and loves cats. She follows instructions carefully, provides feedback and is respectful of house rules. My cat, Isak, has complicated feeding requirements that she has carried out with accuracy and ease. Isak likes her too. Not always easy with this very particular cat.

Betty took great care of our two cats. She also did a great job communicating, letting us know if she was going to be a bit late to a check-in and even sending pictures of proof of cleaning the litter boxes 🙂. She also made friends with our less social cat, which was wonderful to see!

Tracey was so knowledgeable about cats and she was able to administer my cat's eye ointment with no problem. She was very patient with me since I was apprehensive about doing it myself. She established a routine with my cat for the eye ointment and she had me watch and then I gradually did one step of the task and routine at a time until I felt confident to do it on my own. She is caring and compassionate as well as very knowledgeable. Highly skilled and professional. I highly recommend her as top notch!

FAQs for Cat Sitting - Layhill

Frequently asked questions about Rover

The average cost for Cat Sitting in Layhill on Rover is $21.4 per visit (as of September 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 September 2026, there are 8,469 sitters on Rover offering Cat Sitting across Layhill. 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 Layhill. On Rover:

  • 90% of sitters can help with special care needs
  • 95% 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.
