“Billy was able to accommodate a last minute booking while also keeping amazing care of my cat. I recieved updates through the week along with pictures showing how well my cat was handling the stay. Billy was polite and helpful throughout the process.”

Photos when requested and They even offered to run a steamed bath so my cats nose would clear! I mean c’mon, how sweet! Definitely will be booking again! Thank you ?? ?”
About: I’m an experienced pet owner who has had both dogs and cats and I currently have a 2-year-old cat, Pluto who I adopted as a kitten. I also regularly care for friends’ dogs when they travel, so I’m comfy with the routines, personalities, and individual needs. What sets me apart is that I genuinely enjoy being active and spending time outdoors!! I love going on walks and getting outside PLUS I have a fully fenced backyard where dogs can safely run, play, and get some energy out. I also enjoy giving pets plenty of attention and companionship rather than simply checking in on them and dipping. Because I’ve owned both cats and dogs, I understand that every pet has a different personality and comfort level. Some want to play and explore, while others are happier relaxing and lounging (I have those days too, haha). I’m attentive to those differences and will follow your pet’s normal routine and care instructions as closely as possible!(: My goal is to give every pet safe, attentive, and loving care! Whether that means an active play session, a walk, backyard time, cuddles, or simply keeping them company in their own home. I work a FT hybrid schedule, so I’m home every day except Wednesdays and Fridays as I’ll be in office until I get off at 5:30pm. On my remote work days, I’m able to give pets plenty of attention throughout the day, including during my lunch break and after I finish work around 5:30 PM. I also naturally enjoy being active and usually take walks/runs early mornings and evenings daily. This makes it super easy to incorporate walks, playtime, and outdoor time within my routine. For pets staying in my home, they’ll have plenty of companionship from me throughout the day, along with access to my fenced backyard for supervised play and outdoor time. On my office days, I’m available for pet care after I get home from work. For drop-in visits, I can visit during my lunch break and/or after work on remote days. On Wednesdays and Fridays I can stop by after work or before my shift. My weekends are generally relaxed and flexible, so I’m also available for visits and pet care then. I’m usually home a lot and genuinely enjoy spending time with animals. I have a fenced backyard where dogs can enjoy supervised play and outdoor time, and I’m more than happy to incorporate walks and playtime into their routine. My cat, Pluto is extremely sweet and comfortable around dogs, but I understand that not every pet feels the same way. I have a two-story home, which allows me to keep pets separated when needed and give everyone their own comfortable space. Safety and making sure each pet is comfortable will always come first. I’ll follow your instructions regarding feedings, meds, walks, potty breaks, crate routines, and anything else your pet is accustomed to. I like to keep pets’ normal routines as consistent as possible so they feel secure and comfortable while you’re away. For drop-in visits, I’ll follow your pet’s established routine and provide whatever care they need; including feeding, fresh water, potty breaks, walks, playtime, litter box care, and of course love & attention. I’m also happy to send updates and fun photos so you can see how your pet is doing while you’re away.
About: I have had very well behaved pets my entire life that I've taken the main responsibility for, and I can ensure your pets will be just as cared about like they're my own! I can train, play, deep clean, administer medication in any way you need me to ensure the health of you animals :) I do online school, so I have plenty of time to take care of any kind of pets! Weekend stays or late night sits, you can count on me to be there for you fur babies when you need it the most :) I take extra care of surroundings, because your home is not only yours, but also your pets. They deserve the best environment, even while their favorite people are away!
About: I love animals since I could remember. I would love to have a farm some day. I got my first dog when I was 8z I learned to give a bath, brush, potty trained, and taught few tricks. I am currently working as a teacher for special needs and deaf. I am hoping to be a teacher someday and I’m working on getting my certification. I have three fur babies: 2 dogs and 1 cat. I used to own a tortoise but I gave it to a science teacher who is teaching next to my classroom. I have a crate, 2 dog parks at my apartment.
“Thanks for taking care of Pluto in our absence. Loved the way you spend time with him and made sure his food bowl is clean each time you feed him. Looking forward to meet you next time. Thanks again ?”
“Nathan is amazing. He’s thorough and SO communicative. He sent pet pictures and videos the entire time, and even when Diesel was being a little hellion was so patient and even spent some extra time with him to calm him down. Please use him, you won’t regret it. He’s going to be my regular sitter moving forward!!”
“Ashli was absolutely amazing. Our kitties absolutely love them. They are such kind people. We received continuous updates with photos and even videos. We will absolutely use them again.”
About: I’ve been caring for animals since I was around 10 years old! I do have a cat of my own and frequently take care of pets for friends and family!! I have access to Ft. Hood and am constantly available, ensuring that I can always be there for your furry companion!!! I’m doing pet sitting to earn money before I leave for college, and plan to continue throughout my schooling! I’m hoping to make some extra money to afford rent and textbooks!! I will always treat any animal with the same amount of love and respect I give to my own! Feeding and medicine will always be given on time, as well as love and snuggles as needed!
“Kasyn was fantastic! My cat can be antisocial and skittish with strangers and Kasyn won him over so quickly! I had no worries about my cat while she was there which is the best thing to be said about a pet sitter in my opinion. I will absolutely book with her again!”
“Oh goodness Annabelle was terrific!! She kept us updated on Chai several times a day. She left the house in better condition than when she got here. She is officially our go-to house sitter!”
“Literally just booked again - so accommodating and willing to work with my chaotic ass, while ensuring my sweet boy got all love and care he needed while I was away. Always let me know when they were dropping in and sent the best photos. Couldn’t imagine anyone else watching my cat !!! 🖤”
“The BEST! I cannot say enough wonderful things about Emily! I’m pretty sure our fur children love her more than they love us but all kidding aside, she is attentive to all details and truly loves our animals. We have a wild English bulldog who is still living his best life on a high level of puppy energy and she is so wonderful with him. I do not worry about them at all when we are away and love all of the updates and pictures she shares. Not to mention our house is usually tidier than before we left. Truly a wonderful sitter!”
About: Howdy! :) I’m Skylar! I’m a kindergarten teacher and currently pursuing my master’s in Special Education at UT Austin. While completing my online program, I’m spending my time babysitting, pet sitting, and traveling, which means I have a super flexible schedule and plenty of availability for your pets! I’ve spent my whole life caring for animals, both personally and professionally. Growing up on my uncle’s cattle ranch, I gained hands-on experience caring for all kinds of furry friends. I’ve also cared for plenty of smaller pets, including dogs, cats, and hamsters. My background has given me experience with a wide variety of animals, personalities, and needs. As a teacher, I’m patient, responsible, attentive, and experienced in creating a safe, nurturing environment. I’ll bring that same care and attention to your pets, making sure they feel comfortable, loved, and well cared for while you’re away. I absolutely love animals and would be thrilled to care for yours. I can’t wait to meet you and your furry (or feathered!) family! 🐾 I’m currently pursuing my master’s in Special Education through UT Austin, and my program is fully online. Because I’m not working a traditional job right now, my schedule is extremely flexible! I’m available throughout the day, evenings, and weekends for walks, drop-ins, house sitting, and pet care. I’m also able to give pets plenty of attention and stick closely to their normal routines. I do travel periodically while completing my degree, but I plan my trips around my pet-sitting commitments and only accept bookings when I know I’ll be fully available. I’d love to work with you and find a schedule that fits your pet’s needs! 🐾 Your pet’s safety and your peace of mind are my top priorities! 🐾 I’m big on communication and will send plenty of photos and regular updates so you always know how your pet is doing. For walks: I bring my own poop bags, but ask that you provide your pet’s usual collar/harness, leash, and any other equipment they need (such as dog shoes). Before our first walk, we’ll go over your pet’s routine, personality, and any safety expectations — including how they do around other dogs, whether they’re comfortable drinking water while out, and anything else I should know. We can stick to a familiar walking route, visit a dog park if you’re comfortable with that, or add games like fetch and playtime when your pup needs more energy burned than a walk alone. For boarding in my home: I have a fenced-in yard, access to a neighborhood dog park, two friendly cats, and a 15-lb fluffy white dog who absolutely loves other animals. I’ll always take your pet’s personality and comfort level into account when deciding how much interaction they have with my pets. For house sitting: I treat your home with the same respect I’d want someone to show mine — keeping things clean, respecting your space, and following your pet’s normal routine as closely as possible. I especially love house sitting because I can work on my online master’s program while keeping your pet company, taking plenty of breaks for walks, playtime, cuddles, and attention. My goal is for your pet to feel safe, comfortable, and loved while you’re away — and for you to feel completely in the loop the whole time! ❤️🐶🐱

Frequently asked questions about Rover
As of October 2026, there are 1,372 sitters on Rover offering Cat Sitting across Mahomet. 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 .

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.
