“Jeff did a drop in visit for us so we could spend most of the day with our kiddos in Portland. He played with our dog and gave our dog and cat their dinners so we could relax and enjoy our day. All went great!”
“Ashley did a great job looking after my cats and had no trouble connecting with one of them that is very shy and easily scared by other strangers. She kept me updated at each visit too, which was appreciated.”
About: My love for animals began at a young age, as I started volunteering at my local Humane Society at just 10 years old! :) Since then I’ve spent countless years dog and cat sitting for various friends and family! I am currently working part time (6-7 hr shifts) as well as a full time student beginning in the fall, but with all of my classes online I have a lot of room in my schedule afternoons and weekends! :) I will be out of town September 9th-19th, just a heads up! I care for each animal I have watched as it is my own with safety as my top priority! As someone with 7 animals at home, and who has watched up to 4 pets at one time, I pride in being extremely reliable and trustworthy.
“Alyssa was wonderfully attentive for the drop-in visits we scheduled to take care of our two cats. All of the instructions were followed precisely and she provided all the photos I requested (worried for a cat who doesn't eat well when we're not at home). She also provided great notes with context of what she observed during her visits. We met for a meet & greet at the house and to go over the care routine, and we were impressed with her pleasant and calm energy which is a must for any caretaker of our anxious cats. She provided not just the requested service but also peace of mind. Thank you Alyssa, we'll definitely be looking to book with you again!! 🙏😸”
About: I have been caring for animals in some capacity for as long as I can remember! Aside from my personal animals, I have provided pet care for friends & family, worked as a veterinary assistant, and am currently a second year veterinary student at the OSU CCVM. One of my beliefs is that each animal has a unique set of needs, both mental & physical, and as such I strive to adjust my approach to meet their individual needs to the best of my ability. I am a Fear Free certified professional. I am currently in school which runs approximately 8am to 4pm with an hour lunch break at noon. I will be able to offer one potty break throughout the day but can spend ample time with them during the evenings. At this time my services can only be offered where the pet resides. I am open to staying overnight, performing a few daily check-ins, or whatever will make the pet the most comfortable in your absence.
“Kaitlin was an awesome petsitter for my kitty Dwayne! She gave me updates throughout the sitting and was very conscientious. I felt at ease while being away with her care of my kitty.”
“Brandy is so kind and caring to all of my 3 fur babies at home. In person she is professional, amiable, courteous and is on time to her schedule. I would definitely book again.”
About: I've been around dogs and cats my whole life and have most recently been fostering cats. I also hike a lot and would love to bring your dog along! I have a lot of experience with attending to medical issues in both cats and dogs. I'm currently a graduate student at OSU and my schedule is very flexible. I can work with your schedule and needs, including weekdays and certainly weekends. I can easily board a cat in my apartment. While my apartment complex allows dogs, I don't have a yard and likely your dog will be happier in your home.
“Alex did a great job caring for our older cat and dog, including administering heart pills to the cat twice a day, while we were gone. We loved the photo updates and summary. They seemed to be in great hands and it let us rest assured while we were away! We greatly appreciate all Alex's hard work.”
About: As a veterinary student and pet lover, I have nearly a decade of professional pet care experience and have cared for animals my entire life. I have experience working as an in-home pet sitter and as a kennel attendant at a boarding facility. I’ve cared for animals of all kinds, but I especially love dogs and cats. With my experience in veterinary medicine, I feel comfortable caring for old and sick pets that may require extra patience or expertise. I would love to care for your dogs and cats at any stage of their life! I am typically in class from 8-12 and 1-5, but that leaves me time for early morning, mid-afternoon, or evening drop-ins to take care of your pet! I would love to spend my spare time caring for your furry friends! I am available to watch animals in your home where they are able to feel the most comfortable and maintain their routines as much as possible. I have a car which allows me to reliably travel around town to care for your pets, and I am even happy to take your pup with me on some outdoor adventures if you'd like!
About: I have taken care of multiple types of animals, I started pet sitting for neighbors around the age of 7. I have a deep love for all animals including reptiles, birds, and spiders! Im in school for psychology, so I have a fairly open schedule and I normally spend a lot of time outdoors anyway and i love to take dogs on walks I am offering multiple walks, feedings, and checkins as needed. I spend a lot of time with my pets, I even have a harness and take my cat on hikes. I have a deep love for animals and I prefer to spend my time with them
“Jamie has such warm energy and Mac loved her during our meet and greet. When she came for a drop in visit she was on time, very communicative and sent lots of photos. It was easy to see that our boy was happy and that Jamie was very engaged with him!”
“Thor does a great job stopping by and checking on my cat! I made a mistake with some of the dates, and he was really nice and understanding about it. I will definitely keep using his services!”

Cat parents share their Rover experiences - Philomath
Alexandra was absolutely fantastic. She was able to watch our cat on the shortest notice, was so communicative before the booking and sent detailed updates every day. We felt so confident our cat was in great hands. The best part is our cat clearly loved her!! She sent the cutest photos that made our day. Will definitely be booking Alexandra again next time we are away!
We had a wonderful experience with Kayla. She is kind, flexible, reliable, and took exceptional care of our cat while we were away. It gave us so much peace of mind knowing our cat was in such loving. She kept us updated and treated our pet as if it were her own. I highly recommend her!!!
Allison did a great job with the twice-daily drop-in visits for my cat, while I was away for four days. She followed the instructions I left and sent texts at the start and end of each visit. She also sent photos for every drop-in and replied to my texts promptly. She was reliable, consistent and trustworthy. I felt comfortable with her on my home and caring for my cat, and I’ll hire her for my next trip without hesitation.
Holy wow! I cannot say enough great things about Allyson! From the very first interaction she was communicative, friendly, and respectful. She took SUCH good care of my cats while I was away. It’s easy to see she really loves what she does. I would recommend Allyson for ANYtime you need some help with your pets!
Jamie was so awesome. Our cat has chronic asthma and needs an inhaler twice a day, which makes it hard to travel. She was super accommodating with her schedule when our flights were changed. Our cat did have an asthma attack when she was checking up on him at one point, and she stopped back a few hours later just to check on him and make sure he was ok. Totally not necessary but so nice of her to do. She was also very communicative, letting me know how he was doing everyday and sent me lots of pictures. I would definitely have Jamie back again!

Frequently asked questions about Rover
The average cost for Cat Sitting in Philomath on Rover is $16.65 per visit (as of September 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 September 2026, there are 370 sitters on Rover offering Cat Sitting across Philomath. 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 Philomath. On Rover:

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.
