About: Growing up I always had multiple cats in my home. I now have 2 awesome cats Missy and Spider who are almost 2 years old. I have experience giving insulin to senior cats. I also have experience with feline interstitial cystitis (FIC), as my cat Spider has this diagnosis and eats a special diet. I love all cats and would love to visit your baby while you are away! I work from home so I have a flexible schedule to drop in throughout the day or multiple times if needed! Also very available in the mornings or evenings. I will be focusing on drop in visits for cats. I can provide insulin to cats and have an understanding of medical diets. I would love to play with your cat while you're away and give them love!

daniel was so great and helpful, went above and beyond taking care of my babies while i was in new orleans, took out trash for me - manually fixed their automated litter box when it got jammed - checked on them extra when i requested - he’s so friendly, and quick to respond! i 100% recommend daniel
Brianna was so sweet with my cats, they loved her! She provided great updates and pictures while I was away. I felt very reassured knowing she was checking in on them twice a day. I will be rebooking her for my future travel. I would highly recommend booking her for any pet sitting you might need!
Alyssa is one of, if not the best, cat sitters I’ve ever had! She’s been going above and beyond with her visits and reports with our two kitties. She’s been prompt with her visits, doing everything we asked and more, and is clearly such an animal lover - being so sweet with our babies! One of our cats recently had a urinary blockage so we were worried to leave him for a long weekend and Alyssa has been recording and reporting all of the detail we were looking for to ensure he’s been doing ok. I would recommend her to anyone looking for someone who is responsible, super sweet, and such an animal lover! Thank you so much Alyssa!!
Liam did such a wonderful job taking care of my cats! He was quick to respond to the last-minute booking, communicative throughout, and took a good number of pictures so I didn’t have to miss my cats too much. I will definitely be asking him to watch my cats again in the future!
Lauren did an amazing job with our kitties! She left us detailed notes and photos, and took wonderful care of our home. She even was able to give Martha transdermal ear meds after we had to put her on them just before our trip. Super professional and kind and the kitties seemed to love her 😻

Frequently asked questions about Rover
The average cost for Cat Sitting in Philadelphia on Rover is $22.2 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 4,544 sitters on Rover offering Cat Sitting across Philadelphia. 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 Philadelphia. On Rover:
- 91% of sitters can help with special care needs
- 95% can help with giving oral medications or injections
- 96% 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.
