“Madaline did a great job taking care of our two cats while we were away. We were a little concerned because one of our cats has been having some constipation issues lately and has been refusing to take her meds. Madaline was able to get her to take her meds and our cat had no issues when we returned. We will definitely request Madaline the next time that we are away!”
“Ellie is a cat whisper. Out of the last 10 years my 15 year old cat has only come out maybe twice for a cat sitter. Her first day she was able to brush him. Each visit the bond grew stronger. After every visit I saw him laying in the sun, his happy place. Not hiding in the corner as he would always be when my previous cat sitters left. My other two boys loved the playtime, snacks and endless cuddles. I 100 percent recommend her. She’s kind passionate and has a real love for animals.”
“Adam is a real furbaby lover...his attention to detail and wanting to care for your pet as if it's his own ...Thankfully I found you! ♥️ so much...for the last minute plans i had to make because of a family emergency..You saved the day...”
“Finding a great caretaker for our two dogs during our travel was a top priority for us, and we struck gold with Alix. Her kindness and consideration were evident from the start. Not only was she exceptionally responsible, but she also treated our dogs with the kind of love and attention that we could only wish for. The peace of mind we had while away, knowing our furry family members were in such caring hands, was invaluable. Alix truly went above and beyond, proving herself to be more than just a caretaker – she was an amazing friend to our pets. We highly recommend her to anyone looking for a trustworthy and loving person to care for their pets. We definitely will be asking Alix to take care of our fur babies in the future!”
“Emma was great! This was our first time using Rover and she se the bar high with a meet and greet before hand, timely communication and made us feel at ease. Our boys loved her and we are looking forward to our rebooking with her!”

“I used Rod again for my pugs! They LOVE him. I scheduled him last minute and he immediately responded and made me feel good — once again—to leave my babies with him. He stayed longer than he needed to and i felt so comfortable being away.”
“This was my first time using Rover, and Lynn was an absolute treasure! Getting daily updates and seeing pictures of my little furballs during my time away was such a treat. This was a last minute booking, and Lynn was very generous with both her time and her flexibility, even coming over to meet my family on a holiday. It was so appreciated. My little gentlemen miss their new friend and they can't wait to see her again soon!”
About: I believe dogs and pets are part of the family, and I’ll treat yours that way. I’ve been around dogs and animals my entire life and genuinely enjoy caring for them. Friends and family have trusted me to check in on their dogs, let them outside, feed them, play with them, and make sure they’re comfortable while they’re away. I’m dependable, active, and attentive, and I understand how important it is to know your dog and pets are safe and being well cared for when you can’t be there. I’m happy to follow your pet’s normal routine and any specific instructions you provide. I’ll treat your pet and your home with the same care and respect I would expect for my own. My schedule is flexible, which allows me to provide dependable care throughout the week and on weekends. I’m available for drop-in visits, walks, and scheduled pet care, and I’ll do my best to accommodate the routine your pet is already comfortable with. I understand that pets thrive on consistency, so being there when expected is important to me. I believe pets are part of the family, so their safety and comfort always come first. When caring for a pet in your home, I’ll follow your instructions closely, respect your home, and keep your pet’s normal routine as consistent as possible. I’ll make sure doors, gates, leashes, food, water, and any special instructions are handled carefully. I’m also happy to provide updates and photos so you know your pet is safe, comfortable, and well cared for while you’re away.
“Farrell came and helped take Jaxon out and care for him while I was away and she did a fantastic job! Great at communicating, sharing photos and updates. 100% would book 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!”
“Dominique was wonderful. She was very reliable and treated our kitty with much love and care. Our kitty just adored her. She kept us updated each day she came to visit and sent us adorable pictures. We knew that he was in great hands!”
“Christina was awesome with the pets and with our house. We were able to enjoy our trip with peace of mind and zero worries by having her taking care of everything. It was great to receive photos that she sent from every visit, we could see our pets every day! Strongly recommend!!!”
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.
“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.”
“Avery kindly accepted a last minute request to watch my dog and did an amazing job! She was communicative, super friendly and sent lots of cute photos of my fur baby. She even went the extra mile to bring in some packages that were delivered while we were away. I would definitely rebook again!”
“Gina was great with our pups while we were away! She is very punctual, communicative, and trustworthy, and also very kind. I will definitely be contacting her for future pet sitting jobs!”

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!

Frequently asked questions about Rover
The average cost for Cat Sitting in Portage on Rover is $19.98 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 .
As of August 2026, there are 242 sitters on Rover offering Cat Sitting across Portage. 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.

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.
