“Alexis does a great job for me. She’s very conscientious. Both my dogs like her from what I could see in the pictures that she sends me and she does extra things with the dogs. Doing some obedience training with my younger dog. When I first started using Rover, I just expected her to let the dogs out so they could go to the bathroom. She does more than I expected would highly recommend her.”
“She was wonderful! We took a last minute trip and Julie was able to accommodate us. She sent pictures and let us know how our kitties were doing. Will absolutely use her again. Thank you Julie :)”
“This was my first time using Rover or someone I didn’t know to take care of my cat. I was very nervous. Megan was excellent. She was available at very short notice & did a great job with a very fussy cat. I will definitely look to her again should I need someone to look after my girl. She even went through some extreme weather to make sure my pet was fed. She was dedicated.”
“Melanie went out of her way to come meet Olivia and us before her time to dog sit. She was flexible, communicated very well and did an excellent job. This was our first time to use Rover and we are hooked! Thank you!”
“Jen is top quality dog care. She puts her heart and soul into your pet. Prezi loves her. I highly recommend Jen. I couldn't ask for a better person to take care of my baby girl. Thank you for being so good Jen”
“She was extremely kind and patient with the dogs! Our dog had a few accidents but she was super nice and understanding and cleaned it up for us! We would recommend her!”
“Lauren was very responsive and took many photos during her drop-in visit with my dog. It made me feel so much better knowing my dog was able to stretch his legs while I was away. Thank you so much!!”
“Laylani is amazing! Our pup LOVED her. She was dependable and caring and I felt so much better about being away. The communication and pictures were so reassuring and my kids excitedly awaited her reports. Highly recommend (just not on the days I need her 😂)!”
“April is incredible. She was so patient with my dog, Mari who is a very nervous girl. She gave me updates all along the way and sent me photos. 10/10 would recommend!!!”
“Wonderful!!! Coretta took excellent care of my fur babies while I was out of town! She came over ahead of our scheduled start date, to meet my cats and get the keys. She asked plenty of questions about my cat’s habits and preferences. Coretta checked in daily and sent plenty of photos and even brought a package inside for me!I highly recommend Coretta!!”

“This was our first experience with Lillian’s and she took very good care of my 2 Rottweilers. She was timely, followed the instructions and I returned to 2 happy pups. Thank you!”
“Daryl is the sweetest and treats my fur babies like her own. We’ve already re-booked with her to take care of our kitties. If you want a kind and caring individual who cares for your pets the way you do, look no further, she’s the BEST!”

Cat parents share their Rover experiences - Portage
Melanie is the best! It is the first time using her services to care for our cats and she did a great job. She is kind, punctual and professional and most importantly, was great with each of our 3 cats who have 3 very different personalities. Will definitely be calling upon her for future care visits.
Jessica was great with our elderly cat and was always on time with feeding her, she did extra like helping bring my garbage cans up since we left in a garbage day, and cleaning her litter box/any accidents like throwing up. I will definitely use her again in the future!

Frequently asked questions about Rover
The average cost for Cat Sitting in Portage on Rover is $21.4 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 .

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.

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.
