“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.”
“Lucy was really attentive while taking care of my two cats. She adapted to their needs whether it was a little extra food, play time, or letting my indoor/outdoor cat have some fresh air time. I appreciated her thorough updates and cute pictures!”
“This is the 2nd time Jenna has watched my boy Reggie. She goes above and beyond to make sure his high energy demands are meant. Thank you Jenna for taking such good care of my buddy!”
About: I have lots of free time and am looking to spend it with pets! I love to be outside and would love to walk dogs everyday, or just hang out with them! I am currently unemployed, and have lots of free time so I can fit pets into my schedule at any time of the day! I am happy to provide assistance while you are at work or busy. I am comfortable with all pet care needs and will follow directions thoroughly. You can trust that indoor cats will stay indoor and outdoor dogs/cats will get plenty of play time!
“Taylor helped me out last minute with some drop in visits I needed the next day, and I'm grateful for that. He was very thorough during our meet and greet. Roxy seemed very happy after her trip to the park and his visits.”
About: I grew up on a farm and have always had animals around me. I subcontracted for a Rover pet sitter for 6 months as well as pet sitting for family and friends for the past several years. I am currently working Sunday through Friday and occasional Saturdays. I start at 10:30 and my hours range from 2 to 6 hours a day with occasional 10 hour days. It is very rare that I work that long especially if I plan to be dog sitting. While in the clients home caring for their pets, I do what is needed to make sure their pet is as comfortable as possible, and try to stick to their daily routine as closely as possible.
“We greatly appreciate Cristina looking after our pup while we were traveling. She communicated well and shared photos during each drop-in. We hadn’t boarded our pup before; we didn’t want to cause her additional stress with us being gone as well as her being in a strange place — Cristina made this easy and gave us peace of mind.”
“Our two cats were very comfortable with Katy S. - not a guaranteed reaction to some human visitors. This was our second booking with Katy S. and she will be our choice in the future.”
“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!”
“As usual, Melissa took great care of Houdini. She always goes above and beyond and gives him extra attention, you can tell he loves her from the pictures. She also watered our plants! Thank you Melissa!”
“Emily is incredible. This was the first time I had left my pets with anyone and it was Emily that I trusted to care for them. She took time to meet me and them in advance to make sure we were all comfortable with her. My pups instantly loved her. She is kind, thoughtful and professional. She cared for my girls as if they were her own and kept me posted on their activities and well being. I will definitely ask for help in the future without hesitation.”
About: I’ve taken care of dogs, cats, turtles, etc... since I was very little. Neighbors, friends and family have relied on me to walk, feed and bathe their pets. I am a graduate nursing student at MSU looking for some extra side gigs! I adore all kinds of animals. I am always happy to go let your pet out or take them for mid-day walks, or watch them overnight for weekends away - just reach out to ask about availability! I love walking, running, and hiking around local trails, adore trips to dog parks, and general play time. I absolutely adore all animals - especially dogs and cats!
“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!”
About: I have grown up with household pets my whole life! While you are away, you can trust that your furry friend(s) will be well taken care of. Anything you need from just dropping by, needing to be fed, played with, walked, or someone through the night I would be more than happy to take care of your pet while you are away! I recently moved to Billings to attend an accelerated nursing program. With an intense schedule it is a little difficult to find a job around my schedule. I learned about Rover, and I can think of a better way to earn a little side income while pursuing to become a nurse. I currently do not have any pets in Billings, so having the ability to care for yours would be just like taking care of mine back home! I can be very energetic, which I have come to know dogs love. I can also be chill for any older dog or cat who just needs a buddy while you are away. I come with a caring and loving heart for all pets.
“Brigit was responsible, responsive and generally made my trip so much less stressful, since I didn’t have to worry about Cleo. Cleo was clearly delighted to have the company. Will definitely book again.”

Frequently asked questions about Rover
The average cost for Cat Sitting in Matthews on Rover is $19.98 per visit (as of August 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 August 2026, there are 245 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.
Yes, you can find sitters who have experience with handling special pet needs in Matthews. On Rover:
- 100% of sitters can help with special care needs

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.
