“Carly was a great cat sitter for Crystal! 😊 She kept me updated during each visit with pictures and videos, which really helped us feel at ease while we were away. She was patient and sweet with Crystal, and I was so happy to hear that Crystal warmed up to her 🤍 Thank you again, Carly, for taking good care of our baby!”

About: Since I was 16, I’ve been trusted with the care of pets for my family, extended family, friends, and neighbors. I walk my own dog daily, and I have two cats of my own, so I know firsthand how to care for both dogs and cats. I’ve house-sat for a variety of pets, making sure they feel happy, active, and loved. I’m confident managing different pets and routines, and I treat every animal as if it were my own. I work from home with flexible hours, and the only times I’m usually in the office are Tuesdays and Thursdays. However, I can adjust those days if needed. I’m happy to stay at your home or work from there as long as there’s Wi-Fi. Just let me know what works best for you! In my home, my cats and dog are truly family—so they have a routine full of love, playtime, and a set schedule for meals and rest. When I care for your pets, I bring that same royal treatment to them. I make sure they have fresh food and water, plenty of play and attention, and a safe, structured environment. Whether I’m in your home or mine, I make it a priority to follow exactly what you need, while always keeping their comfort and safety first.

About: I have been caring for pets for a long time! I am very familiar with alarms and enjoy caring for other people’s pets! Nothing scares me. Not even 4 litter boxes. I am the kind of person who does it all. I’m commonly baking or gardening, but will always make time in my life to care for pets! They love us no matter what so they deserve lots of love! I am familiar with alarms and comfortable with cameras. I try to treat everyone’s home with respect and clean up after myself. Pet care can get messy but I’ll find the paper towels and clean up, don’t worry!

About: Hi my name is Johanzy and I was born into a pet loving family ! A good amount of my childhood included taking care of my cockapoo, Scooby. I am very attentive, driven, and determined. I will make sure that your pets will be in the safest environment possible. I have a very keen eye to watch for any and everything. As a dedicated pet parent to my own cat, Sam, I know firsthand how important it is to find a reliable, loving caregiver when you're away. I take daily pet care seriously—from sticking strictly to feeding schedules to keeping spaces fresh and tidy—and I treat every pet I care for with that same level of attentive, hands-on love. My home is completely cat-proofed and secure, creating a calm, safe sanctuary for your feline friend. During visits to your home, I strictly follow your household security rules, lock up securely, and keep all entry points safe to ensure your pets remains happy, comfortable, and protected in their familiar environment.

Emily is such a gem!!! This was our first time leaving our cat with a sitter and she went above and beyond. From the meet and greet until the final photo update of our little boy 🐈‍⬛ she was fantastic. Not only that but she had no problem with some miscellaneous things that happened (mail arriving etc) and kept us updated on that as well. We loved receiving her daily updates with photos on our little guy. Our cat loved her, too. Would definitely rebook with Emily!

Christina not only took great care of Martini but she also lugged bags of water softener salt that the company misdelivered into my garage. No easy trick!

My absolute favorite thing about Jaclyn is her consistency. I know I can count on her to provide great care to Severus and Draco. She is great with them and takes care to ensure they are safe and loved while I can’t be there with them. She is hands down our only preferred sitter. 💕

Angelina was a great catsitter. I was nervous about travelling because my cat is timid and scared of new people but she took great care of him and sent photos/updates everyday that made my trip much less stressful.

Carly was amazing! My cats are usually very shy but they warmed up to her in no time! She was able to watch our babies on very short notice and made sure to send lots of pictures and videos! I will definitely rebook her for future needs.

FAQs for Cat Sitting - Notre Dame

Frequently asked questions about Rover

The average cost of Cat Sitting in Notre Dame is $16 per visit as of November 2026. Most bookings cost between $13 and $22 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. As long as your booking dates and pet profiles are accurate, the price shown before you confirm is the total, including any booking fee.

As of November 2026, there are 70 sitters on Rover offering Cat Sitting across Notre Dame. 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 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.

Yes, you can find sitters who have experience with handling special pet needs in Notre Dame. On Rover:

  • 93% of sitters can help with special care needs
  • 97% can help with giving oral medications or injections
  • 90% 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 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.
