“Look no further - Jessica is the BEST. She was able to immediately bond with my cat, and went above and beyond with both time and effort to make sure my cat felt loved while I was away. Even through technical difficulties with my apartment complex, a tough parking situation and a very crazy animal, she was so kind, professional and did her job extremely well. I'm so thankful - I found my new favorite Rover!”

“This was my first time hiring a pet sitter and I was nervous. My older cat has health conditions and has to take medicine. Madaline was wonderful! She took great care of our two cats. She was friendly and professional, and did a great job. I wasn’t worried at all after the first day’s check in! She sent pictures every day and I was so relieved they were being well cared for. I will definitely hire her again in the future!”
About: I've been around dogs my whole life, as many of us have. I think what sets me apart is patience and experience providing medical care for elder pets.

“Jaime was very accommodating, willing to meet and schedule drop-in visits at fairly short notice. She offered kind and caring attention to Luna for a full two weeks. Unfortunately mistook me for another client or person one time in a text, but otherwise did a great job. My cat was in good hands, and I'm truly grateful for Jaime's service.”
“Wow! Christie & her delightful daughter were amazing taking care of our elderly cat for a week. Their daily photos/updates kept this anxious cat mom relaxed and happy. Best vacation ever! And we returned to a house that I swear was cleaner than when we left. "That's how we do it!" said Aya. My sweet kitty has two new best friends!”

“Tim is a great sitter, he takes great care of my fur babies. I trust him to always do a good job, and be thorough with my fur babies care. He is very kind and loving to my fur babies I have no worry leaving them in his hands during my vacations. I am a repeat client and I always will be, I recommend him 100%”
“Gina was amazing, responsive, and flexible to any ask! We loved all the updates she gave during every visit and she was very amenable when/if anything came up with our cats! Will be seeking her out for any and all future visits! Thank you Gina!”
“Camryn responded immediately and came out to meet my doggies beforehand. The dogs like her! She came out with her little one, but the dogs weren't quite sure about the baby carrier with the fan on it :). They were really curious though. Camryn took good care of my fur-babies, fed them and made sure they went potty before she left. I will contact her again.”
“Brad is the best! He is so good with our dog Gunner. He always makes sure Gunner gets the exercise and attention he needs as an active dog. During his last drop in visit, Brad was sensitive to Gunner’s injured leg and made sure he didn’t over do it. He always communicates clearly and keeps us informed. Very professional and competent. Highly recommend him!”
“Ashley was so great! She took amazing care of my 2 cats while I was out of town for a whole week. She sent pictures regularly and was very communicative. I will definitely be booking with her again for any of my pet sitting needs!”

About: Hi, I’m Debbie, and I have always had dogs in my life! I retired a little over a year ago, and I love spending time with my husband and our 2 year old Golden Retriever, Frankie. He’s our second Golden and we love this breed, although we really love all dogs — cats, too! I enjoy walking Frankie and we are avid walkers in this house. I’d love to take your dog on walks, too! I’m available for dog walking, drop in visits for feeding and potty breaks (with or without Frankie tagging along, that would be up to you); I can also housesit your dog in your own home while you’re away on vacation or other travels. I look forward to meeting you and your pet! I’m retired, so my schedule is fairly flexible. I occasionally have appointments and other activities, but I can easily fit your pet’s care into my lifestyle. I have a fully fenced backyard where my Golden Retriever, Frankie, would be ready to make friends with your dog if you’d like them to meet. If you’d prefer that your dog stay at home in his/her own surroundings, I’ll be happy to oblige whatever requests you have in order to keep your pet comfortable and happy.

Cat parents share their Rover experiences - Portage
Caring, thorough and dependable! I left detailed instructions for my cat that was overcoming a bout of loose stool and she did a great job getting him back to normal! He is picky and can smell the medicine, and it takes a lot of patience to sit and wait for him to take the medicine. She did wonderfully with both cats! They were happy and healthy when we returned home!

The average cost for Cat Sitting in Portage on Rover is $19.98 per visit (as of September 2026). However, all sitters set their own rates based on experience, location, and availability.

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.
