“Never boarded a pet before, but I left my Xander there and they treated him wonderfully! He even got a cat tree to play on, which I don’t even have! Highly recommend!”
“Jennifer was great with my cat Dio and he loved her even as a shy boy! I really appreciate her being consistent with her drop in times so Dio remained on schedule. :) We'll be looking her up again next time I go out of town.”
“Second time booking with Lori! I have had a little bit of bad luck with pet sitters before finding Lori on Rover. She showed up for a meet and greet and I got the immediate impression that she was dedicated, honest and trustworthy so I decided to give her a try. I'm glad that I did! I now (finally) have a go to pet sitter who I trust completely with my fur babies. Lori will continue to get my business.”
“Second time my wife and I have used Jennifer to sit our cats while out-of-town. It was only a couple days, but a hospital stay went longer than planned so we had to add on another night and morning; she handled the booking for us and came back over to feed them and do the litter - her help make a stressful trip a bit easier. Pretty sure we'll be using her a third time down the road whenever ...”
“Nasa takes lovely care of our pets every time we travel for vacation. She kindly answers all of my questions and sends goofy cute photos. Multiple trips over multiple years, and we rest assured because NASA will be there to fill kibbie bowls and distribute head scritches.”
“Meghan was very kind, attentive, and communicative with the first drop in visit with Junie. Junie took a little bit to warm up, but Meghan was patient and used her knowledge to help ease the situation. Junie got comfortable with Meghan and overall, I was very pleased.”
About: Hey! My name is Kyla, I have about 9 years of animal experience. I just graduated with a degree in Animal Behavior & currently work at a veterinary clinic! I have knowledge on medications, and experience with many different medical conditions. P.S. Your pets will receive photoshoots during their time with me!😊🐾 I just graduated college and I am working at a vet office part time, so i definitely need more animal time fit into my schedule!🫶🏽 I make sure to be very generous of the animals space as a lot of animals are protective and make sure they are as comfortable as possible!
About: There is not a time in my life that I do not remember having an animal in my life. I believe pets are family members and should be treated with love and kindness. I have over 5 years of experience as a veterinary technician and have worked with dogs and cats of every age and temperament. I am currently a stay at home mom of one human baby and 4 fur babies, so my schedule is relatively open! I am currently a stay at home mother of one. I available to walk or check in any time during the day every day of the week for any baby friendly pets or any evening after 4pm for any pets who are not baby friendly. On walks or check ins, my baby will be in a contained chest carrier and unable to interact with pets. I have worked in the veterinary feild for over 5 years and have always treated every pet like my own. I give lots of love and make sure all of their needs are met, while respecting any signs of fear or discomfort the animal may show.
About: I've grown up around animals (cats, dogs, & snakes) and actively cared for them for as long as I can remember! I currently own 2 cats and foster three more, one of whom has special needs. My partner and I also have a room full of fish tanks, both fresh and saltwater, so finned friends are no problem. I have owned reptiles previously, so I am open to a wide variety of pets (or plants) in all shapes and sizes. My availability is very open, since pet-sitting is my primary job. Weekends or weekdays work equally well for me. I will structure my schedule around whatever pet I am house-sitting for, to give you the peace of mind that they're healthy and happy while you aren't home. Each animal is unique— I love spending quality time with them so I can get to know their individual personalities and quirks. I enjoy putting in the extra effort to earn their trust. I am experienced with elderly pets, and can give medications if necessary. I can help maintain long-haired pets' coats. I have seen all sorts of pet-related messes, and I have no problem cleaning them up. I will gladly learn the needs of each pet, and adapt to make them as comfortable as possible while you're away!
“Jun took absolutely great care of my cats while I was away. He came as promised and kept me well informed about how they were doing. They also seemed to take to him very well! I would highly recommend Jun!!”
“Erika and Nikita were wonderful. They were professional, kind, and respectful of our home. We appreciated the heartfelt messages with every visit. When we returned home, Rosie seemed more at-ease than she usually does when we come back from a trip. It was clear to us that she wasn’t only cared for, she was loved! We look forward to booking Erika and Nikita again. Thank you!!”
“Jennifer has been absolutely great. The cats can’t wait to see her. Always on time and will communicate if she can’t be. Knowledgeable about what to look for with senior cats without even asking. She has done house sits for me when I go away and mid day drop ins when I have long work days. My definite go to.”
“Michele did a wonderful job caring for Takoda! Was very quick to respond, and was able to help us on VERY short notice as our original sitter cancelled. Very kind and attentive to the pups needs, we forgot to put a water bowl in the room our dog was staying in, she asked if that was something he needed. Sent photo updates with each visit which helped us see Takoda was happy and comfortable hanging on the couch with her. He has some anxiety when it comes to other dogs, Michele did a great job of following our special instructions for him to make sure he stayed safe. Was kind enough to collect our mail for us as well, as I had a package delivered while we were gone. Very happy with her services, will definitely book again!”
“Chris was so wonderful, his check ins were very thorough and he responded to me on short notice. I was very grateful to have found him- and so was my cat!”
“A wonderful and trustworthy caretaker! I trust her with my cats. I was extremely busy due to personal circumstances, but she was patient, kind, and very understanding. I truly appreciate her care and attention.”
About: I'm a lifelong pet lover with extensive experience caring for cats and dogs of all sizes, having owned and fostered pets ranging from small 4-pound toys to large 180-pound dogs. As someone who has grown up surrounded by animals and currently cares for 5 pets at home (2 cats and 3 dogs), I bring genuine compassion and practical expertise to every pet-sitting situation. I'm comfortable with all types of pets and can provide reliable care including administering medication, basic grooming for pets under 50 pounds, and daily routine maintenance. Whether you need overnight stays, daily visits, or emergency backup care, I offer trustworthy, personalized attention that ensures your pets receive the same loving care I give my own animals while you're away. As a freelance artist, I have a flexible schedule that allows me to accommodate your needs. I'm always available for last-minute requests and have a reliable car for transportation. I provide regular updates on your pet's wellbeing and can handle extended visits when needed. Whether you're traveling or have a busy week, I can help with daily care, special needs, or longer-term arrangements. My schedule works around your lifestyle, not the other way around. When we first meet and you introduce your pet to me, we can discuss and agree on the best care plan that works with your pet's existing routine. I focus on minimizing stress and disruption by adapting to your established schedule and preferences, ensuring your furry family member feels comfortable and secure in their familiar environment.
“Rowyn was amazing with our two kitties! I felt so comforted going on a long trip knowing she was checking in on them. She went above and beyond the care instructions we left, and it was clear our cats loved her!”

Maria dropped in daily to look after our two cats while we were away for a week. She was great about providing detailed updates to let us know if hey were behaving (or not!) and spent time with them playing and giving scritches. Even our extremely shy boy seemed to warm up by the end. She also shared multiple daily photos, which we very much appreciated. Will definitely rebook in future.
Stephanie is amazing. I left for a 2 week trip and knee my girls were in good hands--the daily photos proved it. Stephanie discovered my cats like staring out the front door, so now I can leave the door open foe their entertainment. Will definitely use her again.
This is the second time that Kelly has taken care of my cats. She is very professional, kind, and compassionate with my little trouble makers! The cats remembered her from the first visit and they enjoyed her company. While I think Kelly is great, what really matters is what our furry four legged kids think.
Laura is our go-to cat sitter whenever we travel, and we trust her completely. During our longest trip yet, she saved the day when the upstairs AC broke by quickly moving his food, water, and litter to a cooler floor. She showered our cat with love and attention, and we couldn't recommend her more!
Jen was an amazing cat sitter for my two cats Patty and Norman! She watched them for over a week and gave me many updates, went over and above with communication, care, and even cleaning! I would recommend Jen to anybody looking for a reliable cat sitter and will definitely be booking with her again.
Michelle was absolutely amazing for my cat while we were out of town on vacation! She is attentive, kind, and clearly cares a lot about animals. The peace of mind I get just from knowing my boy was well taken care of while I can’t be with him is priceless to me. 10/10 would recommend!

Erica took great care of both of my boys over the holidays!! She was attentive and went above and beyond to make sure they were well cared for and felt loved!! My boys are already waiting for our next vacation so they can play with her again!! We will definitely be rebooking!!

The average cost of Cat Sitting in Overlea is $20 per visit as of October 2026. Most bookings cost between $16 and $26 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 .
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 , 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 .

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 , 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.
