“Daniel is a phenomenal sitter and allowed our dogs to feel at ease. He’s extremely thorough and ensures their well-being is paramount. Cannot recommend Daniel highly enough!”
“Stella was absolutely amazing, and we couldn’t have asked for a better dog sitter. From the very beginning, she was kind, professional, and incredibly attentive to our dog’s needs. She kept us updated with messages and photos, which gave us so much peace of mind while we were away!”
About: I've had guinea pigs all my life, and I have taken care of my friends and families dogs and cats. Taking care of animals is a huge passion of mine, and I take it very seriously I have a lot of free time on my hands and would be available anytime of the week. If something does come up on my schedule I will let you know. I would prefer to take care of your animals in your own home and would be able to stay over or check in on them as much as you want.
“Jess is professional and lovely to work with. She treated our fur babies to treats and love and even wiped their dirty paws when finished. Highly recommend Jess for you pet sitting needs!”
“Cera took such good care of Maggie! I looked forward to her updates which were both informative and full of humor. Mags is an anxious dog, but she seemed at ease with Cera, even napping on (with haha) her. I’d have her take care of Mags again in a heartbeat!”
“Amanda was absolutely wonderful with our dogs and treated them as her own. She was super caring and attentive and made sure they were well taken care of. Would absolutely recommend her for any of your Rover needs!”
“Andrew came to get to know my Corgis better for an upcoming stay. He is wonderful with them! Even my timid one has warmed up quickly, and that is saying a lot about a person. He is very accommodating and easy to work with. I highly recommend him.”
“Emily was great! Easy going, very flexible, and dependable. She showed up every day to feed our 4 fur babies, scoop the litter, and even water the plants! We loved the updates and pictures too. We definitely recommend her and will use her again without hesitation.”
About: I have had various dogs since I was a child including dachshunds, jack russels, and chihuahuas. I’ve always helped around the house and with the animals. (We’ve even had goats, chickens, goats, and a pig! So I know how to handle different dynamics.) I have trained and taken care of my own dachshund puppy over the past two years. I’ve taught him tricks, crate trained him, and navigated how to walk on a leash properly. As an early grad I am working to build my schedule with work. I make time for what’s important to me and that includes YOUR FURRY BABIES! I do have one part time job but I am very flexible with my availability. If you prefer me to be present at the house 24/7 I will! If you are okay with me working a shift or two while petsitting I can do that as well. All I need is communication! I will act and provide my services based on you and your pets needs. I am comfortable to give medicine, take your pets out for potty breaks any time they need, to crate them or share a bed for my stay.
“Deanna took great care of my fur baby! She sent great pictures and notes. She went above and beyond several times and spent more time with my cat than I had booked for her. My cat got along great with her and he was happy and healthy when I got back. High recommend!”
“Julianna was nothing but amazing. She took great care of my three dogs and even spent some time walking and playing with them to help burn off energy. She communicated well by asking questions which showed she genuinely cared for my dogs rather than just earning a check. One of them had an accident throughout Julianna’s visit but she didn’t hesitate to help with clean up and I’m extremely grateful for that. I highly recommend using her and plan to do so again myself in the near future.”
“Diana was very accommodating & was able to help me out at the last minute. She did very well with my two dogs & they seemed to be very comfortable with her. She followed my detailed instructions & didn't appear to have any problems with my sometimes problematic dog. I would definitely recommend Diana to those who need a caring, responsible pet sitter.”
“Great, responsive service! Is familiar with Uptown which is nice. Genuinely enjoyed spending time with my 2 cats and sent videos on every visit and stayed the entire time. Even came by on her lunch break when I made a scheduling time mistake. Will be booking again.”
About: Animals are my life! I have always had pets growing up as a child and my love for them has grown into my adulthood even more. I have a passion for learning and understanding all different types of animals. My experience in Pet Care is from having my own pets and caring for family, friends and volunteering over the years. My love for pets is what sparked me to enter as the wonderful world of pet sitting. I love making new pet buddies, and want to ensure they are as happy as can be. I couldn't imagine my life without them. They bring so much joy and happiness as I cherish the attention and love every dog big or small, requires thank you and I look forward to creating a friendship with you and bonding with your pet. I’m great for holidays always available
About: I’ve taken care of pets for family & friends over the years, and I’m looking to pet-sit/house-sit more often by using Rover! I have experience with dogs and cats. I mostly stay in the home while the owner is away to maintain stability for the pet, while owners are away on trips. I love spending time with animals and snapping funny or cute photos of them to share with their owners while they’re away! I’ll take good care of your fur-baby and show them lots of love! I’m available for walks, feedings, potty breaks and play time for individual days or several days at a time! I work full time M-F but can work remotely from your home and take breaks! I believe that pets are most comfortable when we stick to their schedules, so I do my best to keep to them! I also enjoy texting photos and updates to their owner.
“Samantha was respectful, followed instructions well and made sure my sweet girl was taken care of and shown affection. She even helped bring all of my delivered packages inside. 10/10 recommend!”

Cera is absolutely wonderful with our cats! This is our second time booking her, and she has been fantastic both times. She’s reliable, attentive, and so easy to communicate with. She sends plenty of updates and photos, which we really appreciate, and it’s clear that she genuinely enjoys spending time with our cats. She even takes the time to play with our one cat using her favorite laser pointer! We never have to worry about them when we’re away because we know Cera is taking great care of them. We’re so grateful to have someone we trust completely and will definitely continue booking with her!
This was my first time using a sitter instead of friends or family, so I was pretty nervous leaving my hyperthyroid cat who needs daily medication and has become very picky with food. Maggie was fantastic—she followed my notes closely, was patient with his routine, and made sure he was comfortable and eating. It gave me so much peace of mind knowing he was in such attentive and capable hands. I would absolutely book with her again and highly recommend her, especially for pets with extra needs.
We are so thankful for Andrew’s thorough and conscientious service. His availability on extremely short notice rescued us from a huge bind. Our two cats are friendly and affectionate to us but always afraid to interact with visitors or anyone they don’t know. Andrew was a notable exception to this tendency. His very relaxed and kind demeanor put our cats at ease from their first meeting. We appreciated the many photos that Andrew shared which clearly confirmed that our cats enjoyed his visits and were completely relaxed around him. Andrew followed all of our instructions precisely and provided us with helpful feedback throughout his time of service. Our time away was truly enhanced knowing that our cats were in such good hands with Andrew. We will definitely use Andrew in the future and strongly recommend him for your next pet sitting needs.
Stella took such great care of my rabbit! The photos and videos gave me so much peace of mind, and it was clear he loved spending time with her. She treated him like one of her own and went above and beyond in so many thoughtful ways. I’d absolutely book with her again!
Maria went above and beyond this time to care for my babies. They love her and got lots of playtime as usual, but this time my house was dealing with an ant infestation. She notified me so that I could call pest control and helped spray and wipe away the ants she could see in the meantime before they were able to drop by. I was very anxious about the situation and she continued to provide updates and let me know that their food and main play areas were safe

Frequently asked questions about Rover
The average cost for Cat Sitting in Reading on Rover is $22.2 per visit (as of September 2026). However, all sitters set their own rates based on experience, location, and availability.

As of September 2026, there are 1,128 sitters on Rover offering Cat Sitting across Reading. 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.
Yes, you can find sitters who have experience with handling special pet needs in Reading. On Rover:
- 94% of sitters can help with special care needs

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.
