“My cats love to see Isabella, especially Squeaker. He especially enjoys the treats, pets, playtime, and brushing. He would probably let Isabella take him home with her if she wanted, (he's such a Romeo!). Ariel enjoys maintaining her Princess status with Arabella, who brings her meals to her on a tray! I enjoy the fantastic photos Isabella takes every day even the funny ones of Ariel being grumpy!”

“Stephanie watched our cat for 10 days (twice daily drop-ins) and we will definitely use her services again in the future. She was always communicative and accessible, professional and punctual, and most importantly, incredibly caring with our cat. Thank you, Stephanie!!”

“Monica was an excellent cat sitter! She was very communicative, thorough and great at her job. I was nervous about leaving our new kitten so soon after adopting her, but I had these plans in the calendar for a while. Monica went above and beyond to make sure everything went smoothly. I was very happy. Will definitely be booking Monica again in the future.”

“Linda was such a wonderful sitter for my little Lulu. Usually Lu is a bit crazy after I come back from a trip and she was calm as can be. I attribute that Linda’s warm presence as much as her care.”

“Chana took excellent care of my two cats, she stayed overnight with them between house guests while I was away. She is a responsible and caring cat sitter (and house sitter). During my time away she later returned to for a five day extended sit, which was also well done. I highly recommend her as a cat sitter.”

“Patricia has been an angel for us as a kitty sitter. My kitty Grace made sweet friends with her. Communication has been honest and easy and she is warm and unfailingly polite and sincere. Our cat was well cared for while we were away and it was such a relief knowing she was safe with Patricia! Our home was left clean and neat and I got many notes and pics with lots of details. She was awesome!! Thank you again Patricia!!!”

Victoria took good care of our cat. She took lots of pictures at each visit which set our minds at ease. She was easy to work with and we’ll definitely ask her to sit for us again!

Shelby is a lovely person, as determined at our meet and greet. Her visit met all our expectations. The animals (2 dogs and a cat) were well taken care of. All pet food dishes were washed and placed away. I would not hesitate to have her return next time we need pet care.

This was my first shot at working with ROVER and I needed a pet sitter last minute. Alexa was amazing. Very respectful, responsive and kind. I trusted her with my pets and I will definitely call her again.

Communication with Aimee was good, she kept me updated, asked questions when necessary, dealt with a snowstorm, took care of the kitties, and made getting out of town easy. We would have her again.

FAQs for Cat Sitting - Ruby

Frequently asked questions about Rover

The average cost of Cat Sitting in Ruby is $56 per visit as of November 2026. Most bookings cost between $56 and $56 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.

As of November 2026, there are 125 sitters on Rover offering Cat Sitting across Ruby. 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 Ruby. On Rover:

  • 84% of sitters can help with special care needs
  • 90% can help with giving oral medications or injections
  • 84% 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.
