“Even before our booking, Savannah was thorough and showed her care for our pets. She asked great questions and was sure to understand our pets needs. During our time away, she was communicative and put us at ease!”
About: I have had dogs for 8 years and have recently taken in a cat about 4 years ago. I love walking dogs and have walked my neighbors dogs and such. (My own too of course.) Nothing makes me happier than seeing a happy dog (or cat). I work a full time job that pays me well so the money isn’t important to me. Making dogs and animals happy on walks or through care is what makes me happy! I enjoy playing and entertaining little friends. Whether it’s fetch, tug-a-war, or shining the little red laser around, I enjoy it all!!
“Lucy took wonderful care of our senior cat. She was reliable, communicative and gave the best updates. She had an obvious love for animals and we would highly recommend Lucy to anyone looking for a pet sitter!”
“Taylor was quick to reply to my request. It was on short notice. He was able to come meet Otto the next day. He arrived on time spent time meeting Otto and learning his routine. Taylor provided efficient care with updates for walking and feeding. I would definitely have Taylor again.”
“Paul-Louis is such a great sitter! He’s always incredibly timely, responsive and takes the best pictures. I didn’t have to worry once about our sweet River. I’d highly recommend to anyone who needs a dog sitter!”
“Marina was a wonderful sitter for our cats while we were away. She was reliable, punctual, and communicated consistently, sending photos and updates every day. Our cats can be a little hesitant with new people, but she took the time to engage them in play and they quickly warmed up to her. She was warm, friendly, and clearly cared about their well-being. She even happily FaceTimed with us when we were missing them, which we really appreciated. We came home to happy, well-cared-for cats and would absolutely book with her again.”
“Meg is so wonderful with our pups, and we are grateful to have found her! One of our dogs is incredibly anxious and nervous of all new people. Meg won her over quickly with her kindness and patience. Very happy to have found such a dependable and caring sitter on Rover.”
About: I’ve grown up around pets including dogs, cats, snakes, bunnies, and more all my life. In highschool I would pet sit for friends, family, and neighbors quite often. I now have my own pet cat, and still enjoy pet sitting! Im currently on summer break between my Junior and Senior college grades. I am taking 9 class credits, but they are all online. That being said I’m always home and available! I have a vehicle as well so I am able to get anywhere easily. While caring for pets at my client’s home, I do my best to stay in contact including sending photos of the pets to show they are doing well. I track my walks to show how long they are and where we went. I also find it extremely important to play with pets and keep them mentally stimulated, especially cats. I will gladly stay and spend time with your pets for as long as needed!
“Kaeli was very quick to respond upon my initial request to check in on our cat for a long weekend. She communicated very well to meet us prior to committing, and Kaeli was immediately a friendly, easy going and trustworthy sitter. She updated me with each visit and sent photos so we had peace of mind. I’m so happy to have found Kaeli and will absolutely be using her for future jobs!”
“This is my second time booking with Toni, she helped me out very last minute. She is very reliable. She loves on my doggies and sends photos :) Made me feel very relaxed leaving my pups!”
About: I’ve taken care of family friends, neighbors, and friends pets, which includes feeding, walking, and giving them love!! I have over 8 years of experience and I can provide references! I am currently taking classes online part time, but don’t worry, I still have plenty of time to take care of your furry friends during the day! I have a fenced in yard and my next door neighbors do not own pets. There are also lots of walking trails in my neighborhood.
About: I love animals and have a ton of experience! I will put your fur baby above my own any day of the week! Reach out when you need some extra hands to take care of you pet! I am a full time student and I am on the volleyball team so managing practice time around the pet is important but very easy to work around. I go on daily walks with my dog. He’s a border collie mix. His name is Byrd and she is super sweet. I live in an apartment complex with doggy parks and a dog wash station!
“Nicolas was amazing with my dog Winston. He was able to accommodate a last-minute Fourth of July booking. Winston really loved the long walks that Nicholas did. 10/10 would recommend and will continue to use Nicolas”

Frequently asked questions about Rover
The average cost for Cat Sitting in Matthews on Rover is $19.98 per visit (as of July 2026). However, all sitters set their own rates based on experience, location, and availability.
Rover makes budgeting the cost of Cat Sitting easy. As long as your dates and pet profiles are correct, the price you see before you book is the same price you pay for Cat Sitting. For more information on service fees, click here .
As of July 2026, there are 248 sitters on Rover offering Cat Sitting across Matthews. 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 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.
