About: I’ve cared for animals my entire life, including dogs, cats, and horses. I previously worked as an equine veterinary technician and am comfortable with pets of all sizes and personalities. Growing up I did a lot of farm sitting and so I am used to juggling quite a few animals at a time. I currently have two cats, a dog, and a horse, so I understand how important it is to provide safe, loving, and dependable care. Because I work from home, I have the flexibility to accommodate different schedules and give pets the time and attention they deserve. Whether it’s a long walk, sticking to a feeding routine, or simply providing companionship, I’m able to be dependable and responsive. Spending time with animals is something I genuinely enjoy, and caring for them is a natural part of my everyday life. My goal is to make your pet feel comfortable, safe, and stress-free in their own environment. I am an extremely reliable person who has experience farm sitting and being extremely attentive to animals needs.

Jordan has an amazing way with my high-energy, anxious rescued Aussie. Lilly was content, relaxed and happy when I came home. Gone was the usual anxiety I am typically greeted with! Lilly looks forward to seeing Jordan and we can both tell she loves working with dogs. I greatly appreciate her help!

Minh was amazing with our dogs. We have two senior, large breed dogs - one is blind and one is deaf. She handled them like a pro and the girls were relaxed the whole time. She gave great summaries and lots of pictures. We highly recommend Minh!

Mylene has been a blessing! I work odd hours so leaving my fur baby can be difficult. She’s been so helpful and attentive, willing to come take care of her even with my sporadic schedule. She communicates effectively and has a really positive vibe, I trust her going into my home. My 1yo fur baby loves her too, she told me herself. :)

Miesha was the best! She gave me plenty of thorough updates and took lots of pictures, and went above and beyond to not only take care of the animals but my personal property as well. She even brought her own printed reports to log details like how much the babies ate and drank. Would absolutely recommend her to anyone and will definitely be asking for her help again in the future!

We couldn’t have asked for a better person to watch our dog, Valen, while we were away! Judd went above and beyond in every possible way. From the moment we met him, it was clear that he genuinely loves and understands animals. Valen took to him instantly, which gave us so much peace of mind. Judd kept us updated daily with photos, videos, and little notes about their adventures together, so we always felt connected. It was heartwarming to see Valen so happy and well cared for, whether they were out on walks, playing, or just relaxing at home. He even gave her a bath!! Judd was not only incredibly responsible and attentive to Valen’s needs, but he also left the most thoughtful gifts for our kids, which was such a thoughtful touch. We came back to a relaxed and joyful pup, and we’re so grateful for the love and care Judd provided. If you’re looking for someone who will treat your pet like their own, look no further than Judd. We can’t recommend him highly enough!

About: Hi, I’m Jillian. I currently own 2 dogs. A hound shepherd and mini dachshund beagle. Growing up we had a chocolate lab. Later on the family adopted a shepherd mix and then a husky. I also used to have an adorable little hedgehog and 2 birds. I currently work full time during the week and the occasional Saturday. Depending on distance I will be available for your pets for a mid day check in. I have experience at the Humane Society of Eastern North Carolina; walking/playing with dogs and feeding cats. I’ve also worked at an exotic animal farm (It’s a Zoo Life) taking care of the animals and assisting tours. I’m comfortable giving medications. Both of our family dogs take daily meditations as well as my hound shepherd. The husky is disabled, has had many surgeries and sometimes needs help getting around. I’m willing to pick up and drop off, bathe, walk and entertain your animals. I will also house sit, water plants or check mail if needed. I love puppies and kittens and I’m willing to stay overnight if needed. Exotic pets welcome! I currently work one full time job. Durning the week I have a break mid day. No breaks on the weekends but shorter hours. Depending on the distance of the address I can stop in on my break as well as before and after work. I like to stick to house rules of the owner. Please let me know specific things you would like me to oblige by or things to look out for. Otherwise the standard no crewing on people things only their own stuff, no getting on tables or counters, no biting, no pee/poop on furniture, etc.

About: I was born into a family of animal lovers and have never known life without pets. Over the years, my family has cared for 15+ animals, including dogs, cats and other small pets giving me lifelong experience with animals of different ages, sizes, personalities, and care needs. Today, I help care for our two dogs and am the primary caregiver for our three cats, so I understand the responsibility, patience, and consistency that pets need to feel safe and happy. I’m experienced with feeding schedules, administering oral medications, providing daily exercise, and making sure dogs receive plenty of attention, enrichment, and affection. Whether your dog loves to play, explore, or simply enjoys having someone nearby, I’ll make sure they feel safe, comfortable, and cared for while you’re away. I’m currently taking a gap year before starting school and am part time self-employed, so pet care is one of my main priorities. I have a very flexible schedule and plenty of time to give your pets the attention they deserve. I’m available for dog walks, drop-in visits, and house sitting throughout the week, including mornings, afternoons, evenings, weekends, and most holidays. I do my best to accommodate last minute requests whenever possible and will always keep my availability up to date. Your pet’s safety, comfort, and routine are always my top priorities. When caring for pets in your home, I’ll carefully follow all of your instructions, including feeding schedules, walks, playtime, medications and any special care your pet may need. I’ll also make sure your home is respected by keeping things clean, secure and exactly as you left them. Since I have pets of my own, I currently only offer services in clients’ homes. This allows me to give your pet my full attention while keeping both your pets and mine comfortable and stress-free. I’ll always provide dependable care, plenty of affection and regular photo and text updates so that you can have peace of mind while you’re away. I know how important it is to trust someone with a beloved family member, so I pride myself on clear communication, reliability, and treating every pet as if they were my own.

Jennifer is a great sitter! She takes the time to learn the personalities of my 3 kitties and reports on their behavior during visits. So far all 3 have definitely warmed up to her and enjoy the attention she gives on visits. Jennifer doesn't mind doing a few extra things like giving special food & medicine along with picking up your mail. We just love her!!

Frequently asked questions about Rover

The average cost for Cat Sitting in Matthews on Rover is $17.76 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 2,519 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:

  • 94% of sitters can help with special care needs
  • 97% can help with giving oral medications or injections
  • 98% 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.
