Patricia took great care of my two cats while I was out of town for the weekend. One of my cats is a challenge and gave Patricia a hard time. She handled it like a pro and kept working with him until she was able to give him his meds. I highly recommend Patricia and will call her again!

Alyssa did an amazing job with Lola. This was our first time using Rover so I was nervous but Alyssa gave me reassurance and helped me feel comfortable. Lola enjoyed her time with her and will definitely be booking with Alyssa again!

These girls went above and beyond when I had some additional requests while I was away. I 1000% recommend them to anyone that is looking for someone that will take the time to treat your pets like their own. Will definitely be using them for more worry-free vacations.

About: I've lived with cats and dogs my entire life. I've worked on Rover through my mom's account since 2020. I have experience in cats and dogs doing walkings, check ins, and overnights. When I am not at college, it's my responsibility to feed and take out our dogs and cats.Just hanging out with them everyday is something I do as well. When doing overnights or check ins I make sure I respect the rules placed by the homeowners. If the animals are scared or nervous, I'll tend to give them space when it's needed.

About: I have experience caring for both dogs and cats and am comfortable with pets of different sizes, personalities, and energy levels. I have owned and cared for two different types of dogs, giving me hands-on experience with daily feeding, exercise, playtime, and general pet care. In addition to caring for my own pets, I have dog-sat for multiple families and have experience managing the needs of several dogs at once. I have also provided cat-sitting services, including feeding, litter box maintenance, and companionship. I am reliable, attentive, and committed to ensuring pets feel safe, comfortable, and well cared for while their owners are away. I have a part-time job with a flexible schedule, which allows me to dedicate plenty of time to pet care throughout the week. My schedule is very flexible, so I can accommodate feeding times, walks, playtime, medication schedules, and check-ins as needed. I enjoy spending time with animals and make it a priority to ensure they receive the attention, exercise, and care they need while their owners are away. I understand that every pet has unique needs and routines, and I always follow the owner’s instructions carefully. When caring for pets in a client’s home, I make sure they are fed on schedule, have fresh water, receive plenty of attention and exercise, and feel comfortable in their familiar environment. I prioritize safety by keeping doors and gates secure, monitoring pets closely during walks and playtime, and providing updates so owners can feel confident their pets are well cared for. My goal is to create a safe, stress-free experience for both pets and their owners.

I recently had Sarah care for my two cats, while I was out of the country for 10 days, and she did a fantastic job. My cats are pretty easy to look after - just food, water, litter box, and a little playtime but she went above and beyond. When I returned, the cats were happy, relaxed, and clearly well cared for. Nothing in the house was disturbed, which shows they felt loved and secure. On top of that, Sarah was thoughtful enough to bring in my mail and even took the trash can in from the curb, which I really appreciated. I would absolutely recommend her to friends and will definitely book her again in the future!

Frequently asked questions about Rover

The average cost for Cat Sitting in Port Republic 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 403 sitters on Rover offering Cat Sitting across Port Republic. 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 Port Republic. On Rover:

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