“I can’t say enough good things, the amazing care she gave to my pups! I always fell completely at ease knowing my dogs are in kind, capable hands. She goes above and beyond—sending updates, photos, and making sure my dogs weren’t only well cared for, but genuinely happy and loved. Coming home to relaxed and content pups says it all. Her attention to detail, reliability, and warmth made all the difference. I’m so grateful for her superb service and will absolutely be reaching out again. Thank you for treating my dogs like family!”
“April did an amazing job again with bubba I love that he’s so comfortable around her she’s the only one besides my husband and I that he will lay on his back and show his belly for.”
“Kristina is amazing! We know Katie is well taken care of while we are away! Kristina goes above and beyond to ensure that our sweet dog is happy! I would recommend Kristina to anyone!”
“Miriah did a great job looking after our cats while we were away on vacation, cleaning the litter box with the pine pellet system we use, cleaning the water fountain and changing the filters. Our cats are scared of people and hide, but she tried to find them and take pictures for us every time she went, and gave us updates. Thanks Miriah!”
“Samara is amazing, and you won't regret booking her. She sent me tons of videos and pictures which made me feel like I wasn't so far away and missing my cat. When I got home, he was happy and well fed. Thanks again for making my long trip less stressful and keeping my little dude taken care of.”
“We had Elizabeth come for a drop in visit for our two cats over the holidays and she did everything they needed in our absence. She is very communicative and was attentive to the animals and our needs!”
“Shannon is not only a pet sitter. She gets to know you and your pets before even starting!! She became a friend and made me feel so comfortable while I was away!! Thanks Shannon :)”
“As a fellow pet parent, I know how nerve-wracking it can be to trust someone else with your furry family member. That’s why I can’t recommend Jessica enough. One of the things that stands out to me about Jessica is her genuine love for animals. She doesn’t just “watch” pets—she takes the time to understand their personalities, routines, and what makes them feel comfortable and safe. Whether your pet is energetic, anxious, shy, or somewhere in between, they’ll be treated with patience, kindness, and so much love. One thing I think every pet parent looks for is someone they can trust, and Jessica is exactly that person. She’s dependable, responsible, communicative, and truly treats every pet as if they were her own. Knowing your pet is with someone who genuinely cares brings a level of peace of mind that’s hard to put a price on. If you’re looking for someone who will provide updates, pay attention to the little details, and make your pet feel loved while you’re away, I wholeheartedly recommend Jessica. Your fur baby will be in amazing hands.”
“It’s my first time using this app and I was so nervous doing this, but when I saw kristie through my home camera how excited she was with my dog.. omg I literally said “she IS the one” lol, she was soooo friendly with freya. And she sent me a lot of text messages with updates about freya, I would recommend kristie with my eyes closed. Freya so loves heer lol”
“Amber was awesome and I’ll definitely try to schedule her again the next time we’re out of town. She did drop-in visits for my two kitties, and her reports were great! She was thorough, detailed, professional and of course great with the fur babies.”
“Sheryl is absolutely incredible!! If I could give 25 stars I would!! She came every day like clockwork. She not only gave the babies what they needed as far as food and water, but gave them all the love and cuddles, as well as kept us abreast of any Situation that may or may not have needed attention. That kind of care and commitment isn’t always the norm and it is so appreciated! Thank you so much for alleviating any stress we had at home and allowing us to have an amazing wedding at a beautiful destination. Knowing our babies were well taken care of and loved was priceless. Definitely will book again.”
About: I’ve cared for dogs since I was 12 and have been pet and house sitting for the last 10 years. I love taking energetic pups on long walks or playing fetch in a secure yard, and I’m equally comfortable creating cozy spaces for senior dogs. I have two dogs of my own (one large, one medium), and I’m experienced with administering medications—even to picky ones who need a creative touch. I’ve volunteered at animal shelters off and on since 2020 and have worked with reactive and anxious dogs who may require extra time to warm up to strangers. I love spending time with both dogs and cats, and making them feel safe, happy, and loved. Pet care fits naturally into my daily routine because I’m a full‑time freelancer with a very flexible schedule. I’m available every day between 8 AM and 11 PM, and I can easily adjust my day to meet your pet’s needs—whether that’s a morning walk, a midday check‑in, or an evening visit. My open schedule also allows me to accommodate last‑minute bookings, so you can count on me even when plans change unexpectedly. When I’m caring for pets in a client’s home, I stick to the routines your cats and dogs already know so they feel secure and comfortable. I follow your feeding, walking, play, and litter box instructions, keep their spaces clean, and make sure your home stays tidy and secure. I’m attentive to each pet’s personality—whether that’s a shy cat, an energetic dog, or anything in between—and I work to make every visit calm, safe, and stress‑free.
“Vanessa is always ready to do all things you ask, while taking care of your fur baby. Pictures and report of everything that happened while you were gone. My Figgy loves her, she is the best. Trust worthy, dependable and prompt. She is very caring, Thanks Vanessa you do not disappoint.”
“Lynn did an excellent job taking care of my dog, Max, while I was away. He was always on time, followed all of my care instructions, and made sure Max was well fed and got his bathroom breaks every day. My flight was delayed, and Lynn even covered an extra day without any issues, which I really appreciated. I came home to a happy, well-cared-for dog. I highly recommend Lynn and would absolutely book him again!”
About: It was obvious from the time I was a little girl that I had a special connection with animals. I used to visit my grandmother as a child and pretend I was a dog trainer. We always had pets growing up. In 2006 after spending years in retail management I saw a sign on a car advertising pet sitting services. I knew that was my calling and soon started my own business. I have many clients and references. Pets are family and should be treated as such. I offer a home environment and lots of TLC.
About: I’ve been taking care of pets since I was about 12. I’m very experienced and even have three pets of my own, two dogs and one cat. I’ve raised all of my animals since they were babies, so I am comfortable with young animals and confident in my abilities to take care of them. I’m able to confidently administer medication’s as needed to pets at the owner’s request. I am available whenever as long as I am able to work my normal Monday through Friday 8 AM to 5 PM job while pet sitting. The most availability I have is on weekends if you need uninterrupted pet sitting. I make sure that pet safety is the most important thing when taking care of someone else’s pets. I ensure dogs stayed leashed when not in a fenced in environment, and I watch out for cats sneaking out of houses. I will make sure whatever safety concerns the owner has during the visit are my number one priority.
About: Hi! I’m a dedicated animal lover offering dog walking, drop-in visits, and in-home boarding in a safe, calm, loving environment. Your pet will be treated like family here ❤️ I keep a low number of pets at a time so each one gets attention, care, and affection. I provide: ✔️ Daily walks & playtime ✔️ Clean, stress-free home (no overcrowding) ✔️ Photo & video updates so you feel at peace ✔️ Flexible care based on your pet’s routine I understand how important it is to trust someone with your pet, so I offer a free meet & greet to make sure it’s a perfect fit. Whether your dog loves to play or prefers a calm space, I adjust to their needs. 🐶 Dogs 🐱 Cats 🐦 Birds 🦎 Small pets welcome I’d love to care for your pet like my own! Why I Stand Out: 🌟 Limited spots = more attention 🌟 Calm, loving home environment 🌟 Reliable & responsive 🌟 Daily updates included I am currently not working so I will have plenty of time to spoil your fur baby with playing or walks or just cuddling . I have partially fenced yard and one very friendly pup to keep your fur baby company . I can easily crate your fur baby if needed . I don’t use crate normally .
“10/10 recommend Samantha! I had so much anxiety about leaving my cat while I was out of town for a training but she did an excellent job and treated my kitty as if it was one of her own. Will book with her again! Thank you!!”

The average cost for Cat Sitting in Polk City on Rover is $22.2 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 .

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 Polk City. On Rover:
- 93% of sitters can help with special care needs
- 96% can help with giving oral medications or injections

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.
