“Shannon did an outstanding job caring for our three cats while we were away. From the start, she was professional, reliable, and genuinely caring. She took the time to make sure that our boys received the attention and care they needed, and it gave us tremendous peace of mind knowing they were in such good hands. She kept us updated with messages and photos, which made being away from them so much easier. When we returned home, our cats were happy, relaxed, and well cared for, and everything was exactly as we left it. She went above and beyond with cleaning up after them If you're looking for someone who is trustworthy, dependable, and truly loves animals, I can't recommend Shannon highly enough. We will absolutely be booking her again in the future. Thank you Shannon for being amazing!”
“Rebecca was amazing to have watch our two kitties while we were in New Zealand. She came every scheduled time, took pictures and loved our kitties like her own. I definitely recommend her if you need your pets watched!”
“Sara was wonderfully communicative and I can tell my cat Lola was well cared for in our absence. Usually Lola snubs us when we return from vacation but she was just happy we were back, which tells me Sara took great care of her. Sara went above and beyond to take care of things at our home while we were gone.”
“Jen does a great job of including lots of pictures and communicating details about how each visit goes, we never have to wonder and that provides great peace of mind!”
“Joanne was fantastic with our cats. We've never had anyone give them so much attention while we are gone and we got lots of updates and pictures. She is truly the best pet sitter we've ever had take care of them!”
“Christina is the best! This is the second time I've used her and as before took very good care of my animals and reported thorough information back to me. Would definitely use her in the future.”
About: I have experience caring for both dogs and cats through daily feeding, walking, exercise, playtime, cleaning, and providing attention and companionship. I understand the importance of patience, safety, consistency, and making pets feel comfortable and cared for. I’m currently a college student with a flexible summer schedule, which gives me plenty of time for dog walking, drop-in visits, feeding, playtime, and giving pets the attention and exercise they need throughout the week. I care for every pet with patience, attention, and safety as my top priorities. I have experience caring for both a dog and cat, and I always follow owners’ instructions closely to keep pets comfortable, active, and well cared for.
“Luther is professional, incredibly knowledgeable and has excellent communication skills. He took great care of our animals while we were on a long vacation. We will definitely hire him again and highly recommend him!”
About: I love animals more than life!! Ive been so lucky to have had such a wide variety of pets of my own and to have met and cared for so many of my friends and families pets as if they are my own. I worked at a doggy daycare facility for a year, which gave me extensive knowledge on caring for dogs and reading body language. I am well equipped to care for animals of all sizes!! I currently do not have other pets or children, making me flexible with my availability on both weekends and weekdays for any services your pet may need! Caring for animals will make my days a million times better!! I am keen on treating your pets as if they are my own. I have so much love in my heart for all animals and you can always trust that they are in the best hands.
“Ginna was a life saver agreeing to come over same day and visit my stinky man while myself and my roommate were away. They were very professional, and I loved the pictures they took of my sweet boy!”
“Jenna was awesome! She kept us up to date and provided lots of pics, she took such good care of the fur babies. They were happy and well loved while we were away”
“Tanya arrived on time and provided great communication and photos following her visits. Our older dog was very skeptical of her at first, but Tanya was patient with him and by the second visit he started to warm up a bit. She was great with our 12 week puppy and sent lots of pics of him playing.”
“Amy was very good with Gypsy when we first met and asked a lot of questions. She was super punctual and sent me cute pictures during the walks. Will definitely be using Amy again!”
“Fiona was great. She made an effort to get to know and understand Maddie before the first visit and responded quickly to messages. Our dog is not the most welcoming and is timid without the company of other dogs while away and Fiona came every day at the requested time to let her out. Fiona also made an effort to connect with her with treats.”

Vanessa took great care of my two cats. She was very communicative and thoughtful about their individual needs. One of my cats is more timid, and she made sure he still ate by moving his bowl to where he was hiding so he could eat where he felt safe. She gave both cats lots of attention, and I felt very comfortable leaving them in her care.

The average cost for Cat Sitting in Leyden on Rover is $22.2 per visit (as of July 2026). However, all sitters set their own rates based on experience, location, and availability.

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 Leyden. On Rover:
- 93% of sitters can help with special care needs
- 96% can help with giving oral medications or injections
- 97% 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.
