“This was the best service we have ever experienced with our pets. Jennifer was very personable and we felt like we had a friend stopping by to check on our pets. We will definitely be using this service in the future Thanks Mike & Krista”
“Marea has been a huge help to me and my picky dog! She stays in communication with me and has gotten me out of a few binds when I reach out with short notice. You and your pet will love her!”
“It was so wonderful to have Vanessa check in on my dog! She went above and beyond caring for Raya and it was so nice to have someone reliable and good at communicating to help me with care. Will absolutely book again!”
About: I have experience with puppies, kittens, cats & dogs alike! I have minor experience with senior care, and experience with special diets and routines in both cats and dogs! I’ve been locally pet sitting for about 4 years now with friends of friends and family friends! I work a few odd end jobs with strange hours but short shifts. I can check in on pets before and after those shifts. I’m also able to leave on longer days to return for a mid-day potty break! During my days off I can hang out for most of the day, go for a walk, playtime, pets! I am great at following directions left for me and not afraid to ask questions if I’m confused! I’m able to do separate feedings for multiple dogs, raw diets, late or early walks/cares if needed. I’m flexible!
“While conducting the meet and greet, Mariah was studious in her note-taking of the usual care of my cat, and seemed to understand cats. This was put into action while we were gone, as I was left detailed rover-cards describing how Freyja was, and the condition of her various resources when Mariah visited. We will definitely look at rebooking for our next trip!”
“Kenzie did such a great job I was in the hospital for 2 weeks and she just sent me a lot of pictures and kept me reassured that my cat Crybaby was doing well she went above and beyond. I will definitely hire her again if I ever need to.”
About: I have taken care & loved dogs my whole life. I am trusted by friends, family and neighbors to care for their pets when they aren’t able to. I’ve cared for elderly dogs & tried my best to make sure they were comfortable in every last moment. I also have experience with puppies & always love being around them. I am currently working from home on my own business so I have a very flexible schedule. I’d love to take a break from what I’m doing to visit your pets! I’m available on weekends, weekdays and most holidays. I have experience taking care of many different pets and know that they are all unique. I can provide the special care your pet needs and follow any instructions given.
“Katie is a very good communicator and has experience with multiple dog breeds. She played fetch with my dog, fed him and sent me multiple photos from her visit with him. I aill definitely be booking her again! :)”
About: I’ve had dogs around the house since I was 2 years old and have had many other pets ranging from rats to hedgehogs! I been able to adequately take care of each for as long as i’ve had them! I am currently on summer break from college so I have plenty of time to walk dogs and get in the time they need outside! I was able to take my elder dog on walks everyday to keep him active and get him his time outside. I also helped around the house with taking care of him, playing, and feeding him.
“Sydney did a meet and greet. Our dog feel in love with her. Sydney was very gentle and gave Martha lots of loving! She sent pictures and kept in contact all the way thru till the day of drop in. Will definitely have Sydney watch Martha again!”
“Ashley did an outstanding job with our elderly dog and young cat. She provided lots of updates (with photos of our happy pets getting love!) and we felt that they received excellent care. 10/10 Would book again!”
“Steph is such a doll! She made time in her busy Christmas schedule to stop by and let the dogs out and feed them. It was great to not have to worry about them while we were gone. The dogs loved her, as usual. I could tell by all the smiley faces in the pictures she took!”
About: I have cared and loved many animals. I grew up on and around farms so I have worked with horses, cows, wolves, cats, dogs, ducks, and chickens. I have had a Great Dane that I had rescued from an abusive home. I am currently working full time M-F 7am to 530pm. I can work evenings and weekends. Soon I would like to work with animals full time instead of at my current job. My desire is to work the hours that pet owners need me when I start to build clientele. When I get enough clients my hopes are to extend to the business hours and do that full time. I do not want to quit my full time hours until I am able to help enough pets and their owners. I would love to care for pets by being able to take them outside of their homes for play by themselves or to a dog park. I would love for the pets to be able to be in the environment that works best for them. Some dogs do great in public with other dog or cat friends, while others may not enjoy that much stimulation. I would like to get to know the animal to find out the best fit for them. I would also like the pet parents to let me know what they feel is best for their fur baby. The enjoyment of the pets life is what I want to focus on so they can have the best care. I feel I would like to talk with the animal owner to see what environment works best for their animal.
“Abby was fantastic with our cat Bauer, he loved her. She did drop in visits for a week while we were on vacation. He’s an apartment cat that is more like a dog. He needs that daily socialization (more than we can do with our cat laser camera) and he likes to be able to go out on the screened patio for outdoor/bird watching time. Definitely our future cat sitter”
About: I grew up having dogs and we have been a dog family for the last 6 years. We have a black lab pitty mix. I am familiar with all types of breeds and our Mocha has some reactivity to other dogs and is an escape artist so I know how important it is to follow directions and keep pups safe. I work 4-5 days a week but I am done by 4:30 and could do an early morning or late afternoon drop in or spend the evenings at your home. I can only offer services in your home. Mocha is a spoiled “only” dog but I am more than happy to come to your home and spoil your pooch!

The average cost for Cat Sitting in Saint Joseph on Rover is $12.84 per visit (as of August 2026). However, all sitters set their own rates based on experience, location, and availability.

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.

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.
