“Isabella did a great job taking care of our senior cat. She communicated right away when Punkin was too stressed and anxious to give her medicine. She suggested another way which worked well. The communication every day through Rover eased my mind about leaving Punkin by herself. We will definitely be using Isabella again.”

“Megan was amazing! It was my first time using Rover and she made it incredibly simple. Our cat, Ursa, has trouble using the litter box sometimes but Megan knew exactly how to handle it and gave us some tips on what we can do for her in our home. She will be our go-to when we go out and f town.”

About: Hi there! My name is Payton, and if your pet could pick their own sitter, I’d like to think we’d be best friends. 😊 I’m a certified canine trainer with experience ranging from basic obedience all the way to working dogs trained in tracking, scent detection, and behavior modification. I’ve worked with puppies, seniors, high-energy dogs, shy dogs, and even the occasional spicy dog that isn’t everyone’s cup of tea. I also have a background in veterinary medicine, so I’m comfortable administering medications, monitoring pets recovering from procedures, and keeping a close eye on any special needs your pet may have. When your pet is in my care, they’re treated like family. I know how hard it can be to leave your pets behind, so I make it a point to send plenty of photos, updates, and little messages so you know exactly how they’re doing while you’re away. Whether your dog wants to play fetch, your cat wants someone to respect their personal space, or your pet just needs a reliable friend while you’re gone, I’d love to help. I look forward to meeting you and your furry family members! A little about my schedule: I work at a pediatric dental clinic during the week, but I have a long lunch break that allows me to return home and let pets out, provide potty breaks, playtime, cuddles, check-ins, and feedings throughout the day. Thursdays and Fridays are shorter workdays for me, and I’m off on weekends and most holidays. Creating a safe and comfortable environment is my top priority, whether your pet is in my home or I’m caring for them in yours. In my home, I use secure kennels to provide pets with a cozy, structured space, especially during rest periods or overnight stays. For transport, I have two large, crash-tested Ruffland kennels in my vehicle to ensure every ride is as safe as possible. When caring for pets in their own home, I take every effort to follow your instructions to the letter. I believe consistency is key, so I maintain your pet’s routine, from feeding times and walks to their favorite toys or sleeping spots. Your pet’s comfort, safety, and happiness always come first.

About: Multiple pets growing up. I've had the meanest and shyest animals loving me in a couple days. Military veteran who was taking care of many humans as if they were children/pets. I'm great for if you need to take a weekend trip or short term vacation. !!After 5 days my rate does go up!! My calendar is open for 3 months from the current day. If you need to reserve me for later than that, there will be a reservation charge($50/month past open calendar) . I prefer a planned ahead booking but it doesn't hurt to check last second with me. I'll always try to help if I can! I get along with all animals every day. I am excited to help you take care of your doggo. I follow instructions to the T. Your pet is very important to you and I will make sure they are comfortable/safe. They will be a happier puppy when you see them next!

About: I have been pet sitting for neighbors, friends, and family since I was 13. I have been trusted to care for, feed, walk, bathe, play with, and clean up after all kinds of pets. I am always respectful to you, your home, and your pet. I have a Golden retriever of my own who I love an insane amount, and I will always treat your pet with the same love as I treat mine! I’m currently working a part time job, so I will have plenty of time to stop by and feed, walk, and play with your pet between shifts! I will gladly walk your dog on a leash, or just let them out in a yard. I will always keep eyes on your pet and will play with them during the whole visit! I will feed/give them water as instructed, and am always interested in learning any commands or skills your dog may know!

About: I have always had dogs growing up. I have over 10 years of experience with dog sitting and walking, and I love taking care of them and loving on them. Animals have a way of speaking to my heart and I love to play with them and spoil them with love. They’re great cuddle buddies and are always there for you Even on your worst days. This is my passion and I’m here to help you out with your fur babies! RULES FOR DOG SITTING: I am stating this because of my personal experience. All dogs must be bathed before sitting, and your home must be clean and sanitary including any bedding, sheets, towels I may be using, and all surfaces in the kitchen and bathrooms. I am going to be taking care of your fur baby, so I expect them and your home to be cleaned up and sanitary while I am in your home, just as you expect me to keep your fur baby safe, taken care of, and healthy. All supplies required for your dog during their stay must be supplied upon sitting. I am unable to spend money for dog supplies or any cleaning supplies. I also will not pet sit at your home if there are any people/family members there. I pet sit alone and I do not require or need assistance due to my experience. Upon arrival, if I find any of my rules stated not up to standard, I most likely will reach out to rover for help if I am not comfortable staying in an unclean environment. Thank you for your understanding! I currently work nights 4 days a week. I will be home to watch and care for your fur babies during the day while they are awake and have 3 days off to spend with them! I can watch max two of your fur babies at a time as long as they get along with other dogs. I am not accepting cats to watch right now In my home.

About: I'm the guy who gets called when you get called in but haven't taken poor pookie out for a walk, the one who's there as you're planning your weekend get away, cats, dogs, birds of all sizes and personalities. Call me a day ahead for any inquiries to discuss distance and needs and I'll work on the time that they need for the best pet support. Communication is key and quite frankly unavoidable, I like to let the pet themself feel me out. You can pay me to come but only your pet can want to keep me around.

About: I'm a certified pet sittier through Fetch Find and have over a decade of experience. I work with dogs, cats, and bunnies. I have experience with sick and anxious animals. My own senior cat is both and requires tender loving care to medicate. I'll bring the same love and patience to your animals that I bring to my own. I currently work from home full time. I have a semi flexible schedule and I'm available from 2pm-9pm for walks, drop ins, or anything your pets may need. I individualize my care based on what each client needs. That may look like giving your babies tons of attention or the space they need to feel safe. We can talk 1:1 to make sure your pets have what they need.

About: I grew up on a small farm, including many dogs and a few cats. I have always loved animals and I love all dogs from small to big and heavy. I currently have more than 5 dogs at the moment and love every one of them <3 I work a 8-5 job. I love animals and could always use some extra cash, I love to help out wherever it’s needed, on my days off or during the week! Whether it’s house sitting or just taking your pup out for a walk! I have a fenced backyard with a pool where my pit bulls and labs usually roam free when I let them out! They love fetch and I enjoy running around with them. It tires us both out haha! I also try to take them out for a walk at least once every week or two!

About: I worked at an animal shelter for a 4 years- fostering litters of puppies and older dogs at my home. I’m currently studying Animal Behavior & Digital Cinematography through online classes; I am a Certified Vet Assistant. I have 2 friendly active dogs of my own as well! I currently work at a rescue part-time, so I have experience with all breeds from all types of backgrounds! From anxious dogs to the high energy goofball’s I can handle it. I’m currently a part-time student and part time employee at a boarding facility. I go on runs, walks and hikes and would love to bring your pet for a stroll. I am also able to just hang out and spend quality time with your pup or cat if they have separation anxiety. I have a fenced yard and pool. If your animal needs to be kenneled, a crate will need to be provided. Three people in total live in my household, so someone will always be present to keep an eye on everything. Feeding will be done separate as a safety precaution and playtimes with my personal dogs will be monitored. I treat every animal as though they are my own; furbabies are exactly as the name suggests- babies!!

About: I’ve lived my entire life with dogs. I currently have a 8-year-old Australian Shepherd and live with a 5-year-old Golden Retriever. I enjoy walking all dog breeds and sizes, and can help leash train your dog. I currently work remote Monday-Friday 8am-5pm with a one hour lunch break and am fully free on weekends. This leaves plenty of time to take care of your furry friends during the morning, midday, and evening. I would need internet access and a desk or tabletop during weekdays. I am open for FaceTiming, calls, and communication whenever needed and am particular about following instructions provided by the pet parent. They know best about their furry family members! I am also very strict about proper and comfortable leashing on walks or any time outside without a fenced in yard.

About: I have been a pet sitter since two years ago. I sat and walked my friend’s dog who lives in Chicago for the past two years. I’m currently working part time, so I have the time to take care of any animal as long the animals doesn’t bite me. I would feed them as needed and walk them 3 times a day. I don’t have a dog at the moment, but my cat is taken well care of and given plenty of love.

FAQs for Cat Sitting - Royster

Frequently asked questions about Rover

As of October 2026, there are 1,624 sitters on Rover offering Cat Sitting across Royster. 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 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 .

Yes, you can find sitters who have experience with handling special pet needs in Royster. On Rover:

  • 93% of sitters can help with special care needs
  • 96% can help with giving oral medications or injections
  • 98% can help with daily exercise

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.
