“Rebecca was great with my kitties! One cat is very shy and the other is pretty sassy, but they both felt comfortable with Rebecca. She was very communicative and followed all instructions. I loved seeing her updates and photos each day. I would definitely use Rebecca again and would highly recommend her for cat sitting.”
“Shannon helped us with our senior kitty last minute when our usual sitter was out of town. She was punctual, thorough and communicative and handled complicated medication instructions like a pro. We really enjoyed working with her and will definitely be booking her again!”
“Christina is fabulous! She’s so responsible and such a pleasure to work with. She’s also super communicative. And it’s clear she’s a true animal lover. We trust her completely with our sweet kitty cat. We couldn’t recommend her enough!”
“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.”
“Jen was amazing and took a drop in last minute because we needed coverage for a delayed flight. She was so helpful and loving to our babies! Will definitely use her again!”

She took care of our two cats while we were gone, sent so many great photos the entire time, and gave detailed updates. They were so clearly taken such good care of. We appreciated all that she did, going above and beyond our expectations. Would 100% book with Fiona again!”

“Jodie was absolutely incredible! We felt completely at ease knowing our animals were in her care. She went above and beyond, and it was obvious how much attention, care, and love she gave them while we were away. We came home to happy, well-cared-for pets, which means everything to us. We loved Jodie and will 100% trust her with our animals again. She will be our first call anytime we need a pet sitter. Highly recommend her!”
“Martyna was amazing! She went above and beyond for us while taking care of our boys. She was always quick to respond and kept us updated, which made us feel so comfortable knowing they were in great hands. She even managed to get our shy boy to come out and say hello, which says a lot! We will definitely be using her again!”

Frequently asked questions about Rover
The average cost for Cat Sitting in Leyden on Rover is $22.2 per visit (as of September 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.

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.
