“Our cat, Steve, always loves when Susan comes to visit him while we are away! Susan is always on time for our scheduled visits, she remembers all the little details, and sends extremely detailed updates after each visit, including several pictures. Having Susan watch Steve always gives us peace of mind.”
“Makayla is so kind and so great with my kitty, Misty. My kitty loves her and they really enjoy each other! Definitely will keep booking her to care for my Misty. Highly recommend.”
About: Cats have always been a special part of my life. I’ve always had a cat in my home, and over the years, I’ve cared for cats of different ages, breeds, personalities, and needs, including multiple cats at the same time. Living with cats for so long has helped me understand their habits, body language, and unique personalities very well. I always take the time to make each cat feel safe, comfortable, and loved. I also love learning about cats and regularly keep myself updated on feline behavior, health, and care so I can provide the best possible experience for every cat I look after. 🐱❤️ I’m currently working as a freelancer, so I’ll have plenty of time to play with your cats. I’m available for boarding on weekends, and weekdays after 10 AM. I have a small, fully fenced patio that provides a safe space for cats to get some fresh air and enjoy the outdoors. I also have a friendly, calm, and well-mannered Persian Himalayan cat who usually spends most of her time on the second floor of the house. She is used to living around other cats and has had positive experiences with cats of different personalities. I always make sure every cat feels safe, comfortable, and has their own space when needed.
“Misty is professional and you can tell she loves taking care of animals and treats them like they’re her own. She took care of our little chihuahua while we went away for a trip and she checked on him on the times we requested. Played with our little guy and let him burn his energy. She respected our home and she sent several pics with every visit! My kids loved seeing those pictures. I would definitely book Misty again! She was fantastic. ⭐️”
“Tabitha communicated well and in a very timely manner from the first inquiry through pick up at the end of the week. Due to her top notch reviews, we had confidence she would take excellent care of our cat. She proved us correct. Our kitty guy was happy while away, and reintegrated into our household seamlessly. We appreciated Tabitha’s help in caring for our pet while our floors were being refinished and would definitely book with her again.”
About: With 2 cattle dogs of my own, my love for animals has been consistent throughout my life. My day revolves around making my pups happy and comfortable, I would ensure that same standard to your furry friends. Special meals, walks, fetch, enrichment, and more, catering to your pal is my mission. I am a personal trainer and currently only work online, the only time I am out of the house is for any grocery runs or a workout of my own. I am constantly around for any animals needs as I have 2 very spoiled and needy dogs, and 2 hungry cats of my own. We live in a home in fletcher on 4 acres and a pond with an unfenced yard. Cats have a designated room with 2 litter boxes, lots of toys and food. Doggy day care includes fetch and or walks around the hilly neighborhood, maybe a dip in the pond! Dogs who are not off-leash trained will be on leash any time out doors.
“Morgan was great! She helped us out really last minute and over a Holiday weekend. Could not have been more thankful for that. Our cat Bug definitely enjoyed her company! We loved the regular check ins and photos. Would absolutely recommend!”
“Julie was wonderful! She took great care of my needy cat and my home. I received updates with photos. I was able to relax during Christmas knowing he was fed, plenty of water and walked. We will definitely call on her again!”
“Gabrielle is absolutely fantastic. She was on time, provided detailed check ins and photos, went out of her way to be extra attentive to our fur baby! Over all we were extremely happy with the level of care provided! Highly recommend booking with her.”
About: I am a part time sitter with a passion for animals. I have a pet of my own, she’s my best friend. I understand what it’s like trying to find a sitter for your pet while traveling. I have experience caring for puppies, as well as caring for large dogs. I have also cared for dogs with a disability. Rest assured that your loved one will be in great hands! I have a flexible work schedule and can coordinate with you on what works best for your pet. I typically work my day job in early mornings and occasional evenings, and I am available for pet care at any time of the day. Your pet’s security and care is my number one priority no matter the time of day! I travel to your location and care for your pet exactly as you specify, no specification or detail is too big or small for me. I am excellent at following instructions and I strive to give the best care to your pet. I also enjoy communicating regularly with you giving updates on your pet, as well as sending photos when you’re missing them a little extra.
About: I have 4 years of professional animal care experience, and have grown up around dogs and cats. I’ve provided care for dogs, cats and reptiles. I’m comfortable working with animals with special needs. I currently work full-time on week days from 8-4. If you live within 10 minutes of West Asheville I am able to provide bathroom breaks every 4 hours. If you live further out, I can provide breaks every 8 hours. I have a decent amount of flexibility in my schedule and I have no pets of my own, so all of my attention can be on your fur babies!! I can’t currently offer boarding in my home as my roommate has a dog, but I am happy to come to your house. If needed, I can provide plant care during my stay, and will ensure you come home to a clean house and happy animals.
About: I have cared for my family and friends dogs and cats ever since I turned 16 and got my drivers license. Whether they went out of town, or just needed someone to come and let their fur baby out and play with them, I made myself available. My goal is for your pets to always be healthy and happy! I also have a passion for dog training, especially puppies, and have some experience in that field of work. I strive to always go the extra mile when it comes to their care and well being! I know all too well the stress that accompanies going out of town or leaving your pet in the care of someone other than you. That is why I want to offer my services in order to alleviate that stress. Each day you are gone I will send you updates and pictures of your fur baby. I’m always happy to be flexible and work with pet owners to accommodate their needs whenever possible! I generally prefer to accept bookings during the week, as I like to keep my weekends open to spend time with friends and family. However, I’m always willing to communicate and see what works best for everyone! I believe pets deserve lots of love, attention, and enrichment throughout the day! With my own dogs, I make sure they get daily walks where they can explore and sniff all the fun smells, as well as trips to the dog park to play fetch and run around. They get plenty of potty breaks throughout the day and a yummy breakfast to start their mornings. I treat my clients' pets with that same level of care and attention. I love taking dogs on walks, playing with them, giving them plenty of affection, and keeping up with any training routines or specific instructions their owners provide. I also make sure cats get plenty of attention, companionship, and affection in whatever way they enjoy. My goal is always to make every animal feel safe, loved, comfortable, and well cared for while their owners are away!

The average cost of Cat Sitting in Mills River is $26 per visit as of November 2026. Most bookings cost between $26 and $28 per visit. On Rover, sitters set their own rates based on factors such as their experience, the length of care, the number of pets, and your pet’s specific needs.

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 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 Meet & Greet.

sitters on Rover set their own cancellation policy, 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.
