“Had a great experience. We moved forward with the booking after a positive meet and greet with my cat, and worked well with his needs and showed up for the whole hour and played with him and provided lots of photos and a detailed report of how he was doing that day and other things. Highly recommend.”
About: I previously worked in the vet field for over 20 years and am comfortable with all breeds, ages and species! I truly adore all animals! I'm a SAHM with 2 young boys so I'd prefer to care for animals during their school hours and the occasional weekend walk or visit! My 7 pets are my absolute world. I will treat your pets as thought they are my own. I do however require leash walks off site!
About: Taking care of pets has always been a giant part of my life. I currently have two cats at home, but I have also owned dogs in the past. I also grew up helping care for horses, cows, and donkeys on my family's farm, so I am very comfortable around all animals. I will always treat you and your animals with the greatest care and respect. I am senior accounting student at UAH. After spending nearly 8 years working in sales, I left my position to focus on finishing my college degree. I would love spend my time outside of class helping people care for their pets. I take your pets car and safety very seriously. I have two indoor cats, so I am very vigilant when it comes to ensuring pets are safe and secure. This same level of safety is also applied to dogs when I take them outside of the house.
“Allison is wonderful! Our kitty took to her quickly, and she took great care of our her for us while we were away. Communication was excellent as well. Would definitely book again in the future.”
“Ashlyn was willing to watch our cat on short notice after we had to unexpectedly leave town, and we are so grateful! We recently moved to the area so we were especially worried about leaving our girl. Fortunately, Ashlyn was very communicative, sending daily photos and updates, which helped ease our stress. Our cat is typically shy and can take a few days to warm up to new people, but she seemed comfortable within a day of Ashlyn watching her. We are again so appreciative of her and will definitely be asking her to watch our girl again in the future!”
About: I have several clients and I love watching other people pets while they are away, and want to make sure your pet still gets love I love to send updates, and pictures so you know how your sweet babies are doing and so I can keep you in the know. Your babies will be in great hands and I will give them lots of love while you are gone. I do work Full Time for the Rocket City Trash Pandas as their Merchandise Coordinator I will walk them, give them lots of cuddles and love, and they can even sleep in the bed with me if you allow it
“Kristen was amazing. Like truly the best sitter I’ve ever had. It was the first time I’ve left my cat with someone and felt so completely at ease. She was on time, communicative, sent updates and pictures. Fed and took care of him to exact instructions. Went above and beyond in every way possible. I was nervous about having someone in my home, but she left everything as I left it (probably better in some cases). Great person to work with and will rebook without hesitation. Can’t say enough good things about this experience.”
“I just want to start off saying if I could give a 1000 ⭐'s I would. I needed someone to board my cats within 30 minutes of finding this app. I came across Haley's profile first and I am so glad I did. My cats were terrified and she was immediately just so inviting and making sure I was ok with leaving them. My cats came around and were like a part of her family. She sent me pictures and the overall experience made me feel at ease and Haley sent me pictures and kept me up to date. I would absolutely use Haley again without question. Thank you Haley for taking care of my babies like they were your own.”
About: I’ve had many types of dogs since 11 years old of all ages, from babies to senior ages. I care for all dogs. No exceptions :) I work part time during the morning. I enjoy reading, cooking and learning new recipes. Daily house chores to keep and maintain fur babes is a must in my household. As of right now, I don’t have any pets that belong to me. There is a cat in the home that stays with my roommate, mainly in her room. Daily house chores to keep and maintain fur babes is a must in my household.
About: I specialize in rabbit care and have three of my own. Being aware and respectful of all the idiosyncrasies of rabbits means I will be sensitive to your pet’s needs as well. I have successfully cared for cats and dogs long-term as well. I am very mindful of what they like or don’t like, especially mindful of their health, and maintain a neutral tone/body language when it’s appropriate. Otherwise, I will love them! I have more availability during the holiday breaks, but otherwise weekends and evenings year-round. I am up pretty early by default so checking in on them first thing in the morning is not a problem. I am very meticulous- I wrote a whole guide and video on how to take care of my buns so for you to “overexplain” how to take care of your babies would be more than welcome to me! Litter changes, feeding, and brushing- I am more than familiar with.
About: I’ve been pet sitting for 6 years, and have done many extended stays taking care of pets and doing light housekeeping. I can give medication, and can also do some light puppy training. I have many recommendations and would love to love your sweet pets! 🩷 I currently work monday through friday 1 pm- 9pm so morning/afternoon visits are perfect, so if that can fit with your schedule, I am perfect for you and your pets! Of course would be able to do all morning duties before work and obviously after. I have 1 sweet labradoodle dog, an amazing goldendoodle and 2 sweet kitties. they are very pet friendly and would love to have your pets company! I live in a very safe, quiet community with big yard to let your pet stretch their legs! If staying in a clients home, I am very attentive to animals and would be able to spoil and cater to your furry friends needs!
“Juyne is a great sitter, very dependable and my cats seem to love her visits. My cats have been showing signs of stress when we go away for the weekend and so far using Juyne they are doing a lot better.”

New to the area. Needed a pet sitter. Molly was awesome. Had her watch our cat for 2 weeks. She was very sweet and worked with all our requests. She was prompt to respond, answered any question we had while we were gone. Our kitty was well fed and had good water when we came back! We plan to use her whenever we go out of town!

The average cost of Cat Sitting in Normal is $19 per visit as of November 2026. Most bookings cost between $16 and $20 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.

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 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.
