“Abigail took fantastic care of my cat while I was away. She kept me updated and sent pictures. She made my first time leaving my cat at home for multiple days a stress free experience. I will definitely use her services again. So lucky to have found her.”
“Catherine gave our senior kitty wonderful care and attention over two overnights and days. She was also patient and responsive to these first-time clients over-concerned about being away from our cat. We so appreciated the updates, photos, videos, and reassurances, and now feel much more confident about leaving him, especially under Catherine's care. Thank you so much.”
“Nina was a fabulous drop in for my cat. She took great care of him, adapting to his needs, and managing the litter box, trash, and recycling. She even carefully cleaned up after him when he had a digestive glitch as cats sometimes do, without complaint and with genuine concern for his well being. Drop in photos were a delight and made me feel he was happy and comfortable. I trust her and will definitely book her again.”
“Abby did a wonderful job. We have a high needs cat and she did a great job taking care of him. Our other cat is very shy and Abby made sure to find her every day and make sure she was eating her food. I highly recommend Abby!”
“I’m a trained vet tech, owned my own pet sitting company & worked for Rover for years, so I’m very picky & had previously been unable to find a pet sitter for my rambunctious semi-feral cat whom I adopted from Ethiopia. I interviewed 12 sitters & had 5 come over to meet Burt. Selena had great reviews, the education & experience I was looking for & was responsive, honest, & flexible when we spoke. The deciding factor was when we met in person, she was down to earth, asked thoughtful questions & made sure I felt comfortable. From the second she met my cat, I could tell she had as much passion as I do when it came to loving & understanding his quirks, & she wasn’t afraid of a challenge. My cat eats everything, needs constant exercise, occasionally bites, is very vocal, gets lonely easily, eats a special diet, is an escape artist & needs his eyes cleaned often - he’s a handful! Selena bonded so well with him that he cried for days when she left & completely ignored us upon our return. She sent pictures often, mastered our complicated feeder, responded instantly & even organized the linens so we returned to a clean house. I read tons of profiles in search of the “perfect pet sitter” but my biggest focus was finding someone I could trust. With my extensive experience in the field, this is the only review you need to read because Selena is that pet sitter - she’s someone I will insist on hiring time & again because she provides the same high-quality care that I did for my pet sitting clients, & that's saying a lot.”

“Michael, is great! He is punctual and has a great attitude. He watched our 150 plus pound Cane Corso. He kept it simple when some would tend to complicate caring for such a large breed. Michael made it work for us and he made my trip more enjoyable. He did a great job!”

I couldn’t be more grateful for the amazing care Xinyuan gave my 2 kitty cats While I was on vacation for a week, she was so sweet with them and took care of all there needs, she left me a detailed message with 10 pictures each time, I felt confident that they were well cared for, I would highly recommend Xinyuan Z to take care of your pets when you are away if I could give 10 stars I would. I definitely will be rebooking her!!
Galina is caring, dependable, and incredibly attentive. I always feel completely at ease knowing my cat is in her care. She goes above and beyond to make sure everything is taken care of, and it’s clear how much she genuinely loves animals. I highly recommend her!
Once again, Stacey was excellent in cat sitting Turbo. She was regular in reporting her visits and providing excellent pictures to capture Turbo’s activities. She reported on his eating habits and his cat box results. She demonstrated that she enjoyed Turbo and loved taking care of him. In sum, she was great. Thanks Stacey.

The average cost of Cat Sitting in Reading is $28 per visit as of November 2026. Most bookings cost between $20 and $39 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.

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.

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.
