“Forest took great care of our cat for a few days. They followed all my instructions for her food, water, litter box, and treats. But the best part was that my cat, who can be very shy and skittish, loved Forest. Thank you so much!”

About: Hello! Looking to receive some extra money through my love of pets! My family had a golden doodle for the last 10 years of life, moving to Virginia, I haven’t been able to spend much time with him and he has since passed. While I don’t see myself getting a dog anytime soon, I’d love to spend my free time loving on dogs who need some extra company while their owners are out! I’ve had experience with dogs of all sizes and have had no issues as long as they are loving and friendly. I hope you take interest in my profile, feel free to text or call me at any time, I usually respond right away or within the hour. Thank you! Im currently working full-time until 3pm. I can take your dog out for a walk during afternoons or evenings, most weekends can work as well! I also have summers off for me free time to spend time with your animals! If I’m dog-sitting, I do prefer to do it at the owners home since I live in an apartment, but ensure to give them tons of love and affection while there.

About: I’ve owned pets my whole life. I adopted my cat after finding him during college and we currently live with two other cats and a lizard. I grew up with the most wonderful dogs from the time they were puppies until they grew old. I also grew up with bearded dragons, hamsters, frogs, and fish and frequently care for the other pets in my household. I love animals and look forward to getting to know yours! I am a dance and theater teacher! My availability is usually until around 12 on weekdays and after 8:30 on week nights. Wednesday mornings I am less available but if a long term sitter was needed, I have many others who may be able to help during that time! Weekends, I could come earlier in the morning on Saturdays and in the afternoons with times varying from 1-6:00 depending on if I am running birthdays that week. Sundays, I am typically more available, occasionally having a birthday or midday show. I am not currently available to provide boarding at my house, as I have three cats that openly roam and may not be happy about unexpected visitors joining them.

“Sarah looked after our shy but sweet cat while my husband and I were away on vacation and did a fabulous job! Our cat is slow to befriend, but I could tell he was comfortable right away at the meet and greet with Sarah. Sarah communicated often while we were in a faraway time zone, which was very appreciated! We would welcome her back any time for a house stay.”

“I had an excellent experience! Emily was incredibly kind, communicative, and took wonderful care of my cats. I came home to happy, well-cared-for animals, and the flowers she left as a thank-you were such a thoughtful and unexpected touch. I would absolutely book with Emily again and highly recommend her to anyone on Rover.”

About: Sometimes I volunteer at the church. I recently finished my master's degree and am now a full-time parent, so my schedule is flexible. I spend most of the rest of my time with my cat and my son. I can easily work around your needs. In my past experience looking after cats at friends' homes, the first thing I do upon entering is ensure the door is closed. While feeding and cleaning up, I also keep an eye out for any signs of vomiting.

About: I’ve been around animals my entire life. My family dog was mine to care for growing up and I currently share my home with two cats. In my role as an assistant, I also help care for a dog regularly so I’m comfortable with day to day routines like feeding schedules, walks, and general upkeep. I frequently cat sit for family members too so I’m experienced with a range of personalities and needs from playful and social to more independent and lowkey. I work part time as an assistant but my hours are flexible so I have plenty of availability to fit pet care into my routine. I’m able to work around your pet’s schedule for feeding, walks, playtime, or whatever they need. I do my best to match each pet’s energy and make them feel comfortable and safe. I stick to their normal routine, feeding times, walks, and favorite spots so there’s as little disruption as possible. I pay attention to whether they want to play or chill and I always make sure the home is locked up and left just how I found it.

About: I recently got my own dog after years of waiting, and I’m loving every second of it! Growing up I’ve had both dogs and cats, and during my college years adopted a cat of my own, so I’m comfortable with all kinds of personalities. I can handle reactive dogs just please let me know beforehand what their triggers are and the type of reactions they have I’m patient, attentive, and happy to match your pet’s vibe… whether that’s playtime, cuddles, or just keeping them company. Currently working part time so I have a lot of availability. I have a pretty flexible schedule and am happy to work at those odd times of day I live in an apartment and have a dog of my own. We can go on walks, or take your dog to a fully fenced in park near me either on of off-leash.

Our cat and rabbit had a lot of fun and were happy to see her! We are so happy that a caring petsitter like Kalkidan not only looked after our pets, but connected with them. We would love to have her come sit for us again :D”

About: I raised my dogs when I was a kid from puppies to senior! I do medications, nail trims, and general grooming maintenance!

About: I have taken care of pets my whole life. I currently have cats, a dog, and a lizard! I have experience pet sitting for family and neighbors. I have plenty of time to spend with your pets. I am flexible and can hang out with your pets as much as you would like. I am open to late nights or early mornings as well. I believe that pets are the most comfortable in their own homes. It’s better to come to them so they can stay where they know, rather than having to get comfortable in a new place.

This was my kitten’s first time having Cynthia care for her and we are so glad we found her. She was so so sweet and very patient with our Violet, who always needs a bit of time to warm up to new people. Cynthia captured some lovely photos of Violet (and some funny ones, apologies for the hissing!) and sent the best updates. We will absolutely be having her back to watch our kitty. Thank you again, Cynthia!

Excellent Rover. My family needed a Rover VERY last minute to take care of our cat. Mallory was responsive, kind, courteous and easy to work with. We tend to like to do a meet and greet before hiring a Rover but didn’t have time this go round. Mallory put us at ease with how easy she was to work with!

I used Carole for the first time and she was fantastic. She’s so kind and easy to talk to, she became an Instant friend. She was dependable, responsive, and took such great care of pickles. He’s a timid cat and she was able to get him out on his own and within a day was getting belly rubs and looking forward to her arrival. She encouraged play and left little treats around the house for him to find, keeping him active while I was away. I will definitely use her again.

FAQs for Cat Sitting - Legato

Frequently asked questions about Rover

The average cost of Cat Sitting in Legato is $22 per visit as of October 2026. Most bookings cost between $17 and $33 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 7,244 sitters on Rover offering Cat Sitting across Legato. 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 Legato. On Rover:

  • 84% of sitters can help with special care needs
  • 90% can help with giving oral medications or injections
  • 93% 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.
