“Rose was excellent to work with. She was extremely flexible and attentive as we dealt with a fluid trip out of town due to the loss of a family member. She dealt with my diabetic cat’s medication smoothly and took such wondering care of my two cats while I was away. All instructions on feeding and cleaning were followed excellently and when I returned a day early, Rose was incredibly accommodating. We are incredibly grateful to have worked with Rose during a difficult time in our lives, she put our mind at ease with our cats while we were gone - we hope to work with her again!”
About: I'm a dog mom myself & I treat every dog with the exact same love, patience, and care that I give my own. I understand that leaving your pet in someone else’s care requires total peace of mind, which is why I prioritize strict attention to routine, safety, and proactive communication. I currently work from 7am - 3pm on weekdays. I am fully available on weekends and overnights. After 3pm on weekdays I am fully available for drop ins and walks. I have a fenced in yard, and a Golden Retriever who is very friendly and well trained. I make sure there is always a water in my dogs bowl and I am on schedule with her feeding times.
“Gabrielle is an amazing cat sitter! She's so kind and obviously loves animals. She did a wonderful job taking care of our 3 kitties. We will absolutely ask her again and highly recommend her services.”
“Thank you for visiting with our kitties they were well cared for and so cool Nina popped out to visit. They hide . They are so happy when we came home. We will let you know when we are going to travel again.”
About: I’ve grown up around animals and have experience caring for pets of all ages, from playful puppies to sweet seniors. I have two cats of my own and started Rover because I truly miss having a dog around and love spending time with animals. I work full-time, but picked up Rovering to make some extra cash and also fullfill a dog-sized whole in my heart from living with them my whole life. I am available anytime after 4pm on weekdays and all hours on weekends. Because I have two cats at home, I currently only offer care in my clients’ homes. I always try to keep pets comfortable by following their normal routines as closely as possible, including feeding schedules, walks, playtime, medications, and any special instructions. I’m attentive to each pet’s personality and needs and want them to feel safe, relaxed, and well cared for while you’re away.
“Lily was fantastic! She was very thorough in our meet and greet, had great communication throughout, and send cute pictures of my kitty! Would definitely recommend and will be rebooking with her soon!”
“Mary was thorough and had good communication. 😸 I especially appreciate that she talked to my scared and hiding cat during her breakfast to try to earn her trust for the future. We give her 2 paws up! 🐾”
About: I am a cat owner and a part time dog owner. I do have a limited amount of experience particularly in pet sitting, but I grew up around animals my whole life. I currently have a cat named Bandz whom I have had for about 7 years, since he was a baby cat. Throughout these years I have bathed, medicated, cuddled and learned his language. I am willing and eager to learn your pets language, so that I can take care of them to the best of my ability. I am currently funemployed so I am open to different times to care for your furry family. I know that it’s vacation time, so let me know your plans and let’s set something up! Each pet is different so I will follow the specific instructions provided by the owners, and observe their mannerisms to get to know them better.
“Heather is an A+ sitter! Our home and cats were in great hands while we were on an 8 day international trip. Heather checked in every day to let me know how the boys were doing, and left everything exactly the way we left it. She also helped with making sure the trash got put out and other household things. Our cats were happy and healthy, and our home was safe and clean while we were gone. I’m so grateful for Heather and would 100% ask her to stay again!”
About: Hi! I'm a responsible home owner, cat owner and former dog foster mom with a flexible schedule! I grew up with tons of pets, from hamsters to hermit crabs and collies to calicos, so I'm comfortable around a variety of animals. In addition, being a homeowner and cat owner, I know what it takes to care for fur babies and their space while keeping things clean and safe for everyone. I have experience administering medicine to cats, walking large dogs with a Gentle Leader, caring for senior dogs, and keeping kittens/puppies away from harmful areas. I recently left my full-time job and am looking for fulfilling jobs away from the office environment. All this to say, I have open availability and a flexible schedule! I recently left my corporate job and therefore have a pretty flexible schedule. I'm happy to stop in to your home and/or stay there to ensure your pet gets the best hands-on care and attention. Because of having my own two cats, I prefer to care for your pets in your home. I can take them on walks if needed or let them run around the yard. Safety is a priority, so you can trust that I'll be conscious about food, objects, open doors, stairs, etc. to ensure there are no mishaps!
“Angela watched our dog, Mya, for 2 nights and I knew she was going to be well taken care of! Angela was so kind and provided us with updates and pictures throughout Mya’s stay, which we really appreciated.”
About: I grew up with cats, dogs and fish. As an adult I’ve personally cared for 1 large dog (Rottweiler/Pitbull/Labrador) and 2 cats. The dog was a troubled rescue that I trained and then found a permanent home. I help with my mother's aging Cocker Spaniel and share in the care of my partner's 3 cats. I run an eBay store, Door Dash on an ADV160, tend to Duolingo’s headquarter’s plants. My schedule is very flexible. When hired for house sitting I turn off my availability for drop-ins and walks. I live with 3 cats at the moment, black, white and grey. It’s like dancing to a meowing grey scale. They are spoiled, but just enough.
About: I am a pet parent to my lovely Yoshi the cat and Tender the dog. I have grown up with pets. I don’t have professional skillset but I am quite good with animals. I promise to take great care of your pets I am currently working part time as a cater waiter/bartender. I have also just gone back to online school for my bachelors degree. This means I do have quite a bit of free time. I also have a car so I am able to get to your pet in convenient time. I love taking care of my pets. I make sure to brush them frequently so they are nice and fluffy. I also make sure to check their business just to keep an eye out. I am very good at following directions and can definitely help take care of your fur babies.
About: I was born around Golden Retriever and my family currently has 2 Portuguese Water dogs, so I’m well prepared for the high energy pup and the frantic pups. I always take a patient perspective when it comes to the dogs and cats I care for. They are their own animals and understanding that allows them room to express themselves, so I can best care for them! I love animals and volunteer at various animal shelters to support my community. I dedicate full days each week for pet care. I make sure these days are free in case my clients need a more focused care. I work part time during the week, but am incredibly flexible which allows me to meet many pet care needs! I provide love, connection, food, water, walks, some cleaning of pet areas, etc. Whatever you would normally do for your pet I will oblige and assist you in that way

Jiawen S. was fabulous with my fur baby! You can tell she cared for my pet as if he was her own. She asked good questions to ensure she knew how to best care for him, and she provided wonderful updates about his care and progress while I was away. It was so reassuring to have someone like Jiawen caring for Basil and a relief knowing he was in such loving, capable hands. I will certainly be using her again…she was terrific! Thank you so very much, Jiawen, for all of your good care of my fur baby, paying such close attention to his routine and caring for him just like I do!
We couldn’t be happier with the care Jenna provided for our kitties while we were away. She did wonderful tending to the unique needs of our kitties and took the time to interact with them during the visits. Jenna is adaptive with learning their quirks and provided detailed updates along with photos after each visit. We’re very fortunate to have found Jenna as a rover and trust her completely with the care of our kitties. We will definitely be using her services in the future. We highly recommend her.
Ashley is very nice and I like her! She is very reliable! Thanks for taking good care of Nico!! I'm so glad you and Nico became friends!! I would love for you to watch Nico the next time I go away in April if interested! I would highly recommend Ashley to watch other pets! Thanks again Kim !!
Kristiana did a great job. She reported it took a couple visits for everybody to warm up to her, but they did. We came home to happy, relaxed kitty cats ready to play with us. She also followed all our instructions/requests and kept us informed throughout our time away.
Vanessa took amazing care of our two cats while we were away, the daily photos showed happy playful kitties who were getting all the attention they craved! Clear communication and prompt arrival times the entire trip, I never had to worry and could fully enjoy our trip. Definitely would rebook with Vanessa.

Frequently asked questions about Rover
The average cost of Cat Sitting in Rankin is $20 per visit as of November 2026. Most bookings cost between $17 and $28 per visit. On Rover, sitters set their own rates based on factors such as their experience, the length of care, the number of pets, and your pet’s specific needs. As long as your booking dates and pet profiles are accurate, the price shown before you confirm is the total, including any booking fee.

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 casual meeting to vet potential sitters and communicate care needs for peace of mind before a booking begins. Only sitters who have never booked with you before can schedule a Meet & Greet on Rover; however, you are welcome to coordinate one in Rover messages with sitters you have previously booked. This can be helpful if you have a new pet or routine you want to go over with your sitter.
Meet & Greets can take place in person or virtually. If you are booking with a sitter for the first time, we recommend in-person Meet & Greets to get a clearer sense of how your sitter interacts with your pet 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. Meet & Greets are a great way to prepare your pet and sitter for longer stays or first-time bookings. Read our tips for your first Meet & Greet.

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 contact information. Sitters may set a same-day, one-, three-, or seven-day cancellation policy. Cancelling within your sitter’s cancellation policy qualifies you for a full refund.
Same-day cancellations for recurring services, which include walks, drop-ins, and day care, follow the full refund policy. Otherwise, for pet boarding and house sitting, if you cancel after 12 pm on the applicable cancellation deadline, you’ll receive a 50% refund for the first seven days of the booking and a 100% refund for any remaining days.
If your sitter needs to cancel within seven days of the booking's start date, then our reservation protection will kick in. This means you will get a full refund and our support team will work with you to find a replacement sitter.
