“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!!!”
“Ariana was a wonderful cat sitter. She watched our two cats during the first time we were away from them, and they were very well taken care of. She followed our instructions and preferences and sent great updates and pictures.”
“Julianna was great! She was very communicative and responsive when I had questions about my cat. I got lots of photos and my pet seemed very content - would definitely rebook with Julianna!”
“An Mei had a great week - I received pictures as well as feedback as to how she was adjusting to her new environment. Dawn took the time to make sure she ate & got pets😉 as needed. Definitely recommend and would use Dawn again!”
About: I’ve had my own pets in the past and I love all sorts of pets! It brings me serotonin to be with my furry friends! I’ve pet sat for my neighbors, friends, and family members! I will be working full time later this year and wanted to try out this fun side hustle to make extra cash and bring my serotonin levels up! My house has a big yard area! There’s a couple of parks nearby that are also perfect and I have a variety of pet snacks and toys!
“Aliyah went above and beyond in taking care of my cats. My youngest fur baby instantly warmed up to her, which is quite rare! Aliyah sent me lots of photos while I was away, easing my separation anxiety. Being away from my cats is never easy, but knowing they were in such great care with Aliyah made it so much better.”
About: I’ve grown up surrounded by dogs and cats my entire life! Over my 25 years, my family has had two Rottweilers, a Pitbull, and a cat, all of whom lived long, loved lives before sadly passing from old age. Today, my family has a Cocker Spaniel, several Yorkies, and two cats, all of whom I absolutely adore! Having cared for everything from large, energetic breeds to smaller dogs and cats, I’m comfortable with animals of all shapes, sizes, and personalities. I’ve also experienced caring for pets as they grow older, so I understand the importance of patience, gentleness, and adapting to their needs. I recently moved into my own place, and one of the things I miss most is coming home to my family’s dogs and cats. That’s a big part of why I’d love to become a pet sitter! I genuinely enjoy the companionship animals bring, and I’d be thrilled to give your furry family members the same love, attention, and affection I’ve always given my own. I know pets aren’t just animals; they’re family. My goal is to make sure yours feel just as safe, comfortable, and loved with me as they do with you! My schedule is pretty flexible! I typically work from home or close by, which means I can be a very present and attentive sitter rather than leaving your pets alone for long periods. Whether your pet needs regular walks, feeding, playtime, bathroom breaks, or just someone to keep them company throughout the day, I’m happy to accommodate their routine as much as possible. I’m also open to overnight stays and boarding! Since I live on my own, I have the flexibility to make your pet feel welcome and give them plenty of one-on-one attention. I understand that every pet has different needs, so I’m always happy to communicate and coordinate with owners to find a schedule that works best for everyone! Your pet’s safety, happiness, and comfort will always be my top priorities! Having grown up caring for several different breeds, including large dogs and smaller companions, I understand that every animal has its own personality, boundaries, and needs. Whether I’m caring for your pet in my home or yours, I’ll do my best to maintain their usual routine so they feel comfortable and secure. That includes following feeding instructions, keeping up with walks and bathroom breaks, providing plenty of affection, and respecting any specific rules or preferences you have. I recently moved into my own place, where I have a fenced yard for your furry friends to safely enjoy some fresh air, playtime, and exercise! My home offers a peaceful, comfortable environment where your pets can relax and receive plenty of individual attention. I’ll always supervise outdoor activities and make sure your pet feels safe and welcome. I also believe communication is incredibly important! I’m more than happy to send regular pictures, videos, and updates so you can enjoy your time away knowing your furry family member is in good hands. Most importantly, I’ll treat your pets the way I’ve always treated my own: with love, patience, kindness, and lots of cuddles (if they’re into that, of course!).
About: Experienced with dogs of all ages, from puppies to seniors. Skilled in puppy training, basic obedience, trick training, and senior dog care, including medication support and mobility assistance. Comfortable with grooming tasks such as brushing, bathing, and coat maintenance. I focus on creating a safe, positive, and fun environment for every dog in my care. I am available for dog walking weekdays from 6 am to 2:30 pm. My weekend availability is all day for both Saturday and Sunday. As for pet sitting I am available as needed. I organize my day around the pets needs including feeding schedule, exercise & play schedule, and unique needs. Leashes are always used unless a closed area is available and allowed by the owner.
About: What sets me apart from other pet owners is my lifelong experience and genuine love for animals. I’ve always had cats and dogs, so caring for animals has been a part of my life for as long as I can remember. I also have a 13-year-old diabetic cat, which has given me firsthand experience with caring for pets who have special medical needs, maintaining routines, administering medication, and paying close attention to changes in their behavior and health. I’m patient, attentive, responsible, and understand that every pet has their own personality, needs, and comfort level. I treat every animal as if they were my own and want owners to feel completely confident knowing their pets are in loving and trustworthy hands. I am currently a bartender/server, so my schedule works wonderfully if you're needing someone to look after the fur babies while you work. My schedule can also be flexible if I'm given enough notice. My cat has not lived with other cats in a while due to his diabetes effecting his back legs for a while. My Tigger is my best friend. He is my baby that I care for like a child with routine feedings, medications, vet visits, etc.
“Melissa does a great job with our cats. You can see why she has earned her Star Sitter status on Rover. It is nice to have someone take such good cared of our cats, and to be so reliable, such that our cats are well taken care of, and we can have peace of mind while on vacation.”
“Linda was great with our cats! We have two cats and are fostering a third, and she was able to accommodate some special requirements with our foster. She was very responsive and proactive on making sure all the cats were taken care of.”
About: I’ve been around dogs and cats my entire life and know how to take care of them. I’ve had a dog of my own until he passed away recently. The care and safety of your pets is my top priority. I believe in effective communication, so I will try my best to keep you updated throughout the process. I follow all my clients’ instructions and preferences, so you don’t have to worry about your home while you’re away; I make sure everything is locked up, treat your belongings with respect, and leave your home just as you left it so you can come back without extra stress, especially knowing how exhausting travel can be. I work fully remote so I work from home, so I can pack up and stay in your home whenever I'm available. I tend to adapt my daily schedule around my new roommates' schedules, so they don't get stressed out by the situation. I can also be of assistance for drop-in visits and for walking service. work fully remote so I work from home, so 1 can pack up and stay in your home whenever I'm available. I tend to adapt my daily schedule around my new roommates' schedules, so they don't get stressed out by the situation. I can also be of assistance for drop-in visits and for walking service. I am unable to care for your pets at my home since my apartment doesn’t allow pets. Thank you for understanding. However I’m willing and able to care for them at your home.
“Jessica was absolutely amazing! She took excellent care of my elderly cat and followed all of my instructions perfectly. She even went above and beyond by cleaning up after the cat and taking gorgeous pictures as updates throughout her visits. I would happily book her again, and I recommend her highly!”
About: I love animals and have pets of my own. I have experience with pet sitting animals of all sizes. I also finished a class in assistance dog training and also volunteered at a puppy development center. I am very active so I will have no problem maintaining larger dogs. I also love walking and playing with pets to provide enrichment and enjoyment in their lives. I am currently home for a longer break. I go back to school on the 11th of January. I am very flexible during this time. I am dedicated to providing quality care for your pet, as well as giving you peace of mind that they are in good hands. I understand that a pet is like family so I will strive to treat any pet that is under my care like my own.
About: I’m adaptable to the specific needs of any pet, whether it be diet, sleep, or their exercise routine. My schedule allows me to spend a lot of time with anxious pets or any who enjoy a lot of interaction, but I respect the boundaries of pets who enjoy their space. I’m currently available full-time. I was laid off this spring due to federal budget cuts and I now spend most of my time coding, reading, or writing. I follow the instructions given by the owner and reach out for clarification if needed. I make sure to take care of all checklist items before the end of the stay.
About: I’m especially a cat person and genuinely enjoy spending time with cats of all personalities—from playful kittens to shy seniors. I know that earning a cat’s trust takes patience, and I’m happy to let them interact at their own pace. I’ve been surrounded by both dogs and cats my entire life and have been caring for pets since I was a child. I grew up with multiple dogs and cats, including a Golden Retriever, a Chihuahua, and several cats, so I’m comfortable with pets of different sizes, breeds, and personalities. I’ve also pet sat for friends and family many times, providing feeding, walks, playtime, companionship, and lots of love. I understand that every pet is unique, and I always do my best to make them feel safe, comfortable, and happy while you’re away. I currently have a flexible schedule, which allows me to provide reliable pet care throughout the week, including mornings, afternoons, evenings, weekends, and holidays. Whether your pet needs a quick visit, playtime, feeding, or extra attention while you’re away, I’m happy to accommodate your schedule whenever possible. I know every pet has their own routine and personality, so I always take the time to learn what makes them feel comfortable. I’ll follow your instructions carefully, keep your home clean and secure, and make sure your pet receives plenty of attention, affection, and care. I understand how important trust is when someone is caring for your furry family member, and I’ll treat your pets as if they were my own! I’ll also keep you updated with photos and messages, so you can relax knowing your pet is happy and well cared for.
“We worked with Lauren this past weekend as she took care of our cat. Lauren was a pleasure to work with. Great communication and responsiveness. She sent photos and texted me before and after her visits with Mia (our cat). More importantly, when we arrived back home I could tell that Mia was happy which lets me know that she had enough attention over the weekend and wasn't lonely!!!”

Cat parents share their Rover experiences - Layhill
Our cat liked Ariana immediately when she came in the house. She took fantastic care of him, fed, played and cleaned up after him. Ariana sent us charming photos and alerted us to a problem while we were away. She was conscientious, responsible and thoughtful. I will absolutely hire her again.
Scott was absolutely AMAZING with our trio of kitties! We knew he was 100% legit when our very shy kitty (who NEVER comes out for strangers) came out on the second visit and is opening up to Scott. I look forward to having Scott return in the near future to take care of our kitties.
Neesa was great, from the very beginning. She took notes to ensure she won`t miss a single detail. She was very sweet, played with our dog and sent pictures almost every day. She stayed in touch every single day, providing updates which helped a bit in being away from our baby. I will definitely recommend her and book her again!
Liza was a lifesaver and accepted our request for a drop in visit with only a few days notice. She took great care of our cat. We appreciated the pictures she sent and it was obvious our cat, who is normally very scared around strangers, was very happy, relaxed and comfortable around her. Would definitely recommend!
Becca is great! She’s taking care of my foster kitties twice now and is so good with them. I always get detailed reports so I don’t have to worry about them! She also went above and beyond, even coordinating with the rescue so that they could be in the loop with their care.
Gabrielle took wonderful care of our cat, Izzy, while we were out of town. She stopped by for the initial meeting, sent a thorough summary of all that we discussed, and then kept me informed daily as to how things were going. She not only took great care of Izzy, including giving her daily medication, she also managed to make friends with her! Izzy is normally very uncomfortable around people outside of our family so that was a real accomplishment. Gabrielle also watered our plants daily. I will definitely call on her again for future pet sitting needs!
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!!!
Leslie has taken wonderful care of our cats on several occasions over the past four and a half years. She always responds promptly, cares for them like family and sends cute photos. It eases my mind so much when we’re away knowing that she’ll be dropping in to check on them. She is a kind, trustworthy, conscientious and overall amazing pet sitter and person!
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.
Robyn did dropins for our cat while we were away for the holidays. Before the booking started our cat had to go on a new medication and Robyn was great at trying different things to get her to take her medicine. Robyn was very communicative and we came home to a happy cat.

The average cost of Cat Sitting in Layhill is $21 per visit as of November 2026. Most bookings cost between $21 and $26 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.

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.

- 83% of sitters can help with special care needs

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.
