“This was my second time booking with Lauran, and once again she was absolutely wonderful! Having someone I can trust with my two cats gives me so much peace of mind while we're away. She kept me updated with photos and messages, made sure my cats were well cared for, and even managed to earn the trust of my very shy cat, which says a lot! It's clear she genuinely cares about the animals she looks after and goes above and beyond to make sure they're comfortable. I wouldn't hesitate to book with her again and highly recommend her to anyone looking for a reliable, caring pet sitter!”
“Isabella was so great with our Kitty! She was very communicative and sent lots of pictures throughout our trip. She even made sure to provide detailed updates of Kitty's mood and behaviors during her visits. We will definitely be booking her again for future trips!”
About: As a pet mom who's been using Rover since 2020, I've met all kinds of pet sitters and learned about their different pet care styles. Being on the other side of things, I understand how stressful it can be to leave your pets with unfamiliar people. I want to help other pet families feel comfortable knowing their babies are in good hands! I grew up with dogs for most of my life and currently have a dog named Ivan and a cat of my own named Francis. I've always been a huge animal lover and a major empath, especially when it comes to animals. I'm even vegan, if that tells you anything! If I had it my way, I'd probably have a house full of animals. I understand that every pet has their own personality, needs, and routines. I genuinely love getting to know animals and making sure they feel comfortable and loved. I promise to treat your babies with the same patience, attention, and care I give my own! I'm currently a college student with a pretty short work schedule from 2:45 PM to 5:30 PM, Monday through Thursday. I'm a major homebody who enjoys watching movies, playing board games, and reading books, so I spend most of my time at home. This allows me to give your pets plenty of attention throughout the day without having to worry about them being alone for long periods of time. I'm a very routine based pet owner. I follow consistent feeding times, wash my pets' bowls twice a day, and make sure they get plenty of playtime and attention. I'm more than happy to follow whatever routine your pets are used to! As someone who has used Rover for years, I personally love receiving lots of pictures and updates of what my dog, Ivan, is doing during his stay. I know how reassuring it is to see that your pets are happy, comfortable, and being well taken care of. I also understand how important it is to keep a safe environment, whether that's making sure food is put away, keeping things out of reach, or simply paying attention to what your pets are getting into. I promise to respect your home, follow your instructions, and care for your babies as if they were my own!
About: I’ve dog sat and house sat for friends before and they have trusted me with their house and animals, generally for 1 week but sometimes for longer or shorter. I take very good care of the home and animals, listen to instructions careful and apply those instructions in order to be helpful. I will always be upfront and honest with everyone and I always communicate well. I currently work as a full time server at Texas Roadhouse and live by myself. I am not married nor have any kids yet so it’s just me. My schedule is pretty flexible in the morning to early afternoon due to having to serve at night generally. I don’t mind coming in to help before and after work. I don’t have any pets in my own home because I can’t due to landlord rules but I grew up with animals throughout my whole life. I play with the animals if they want to play, pet them, feed them when they need to be fed, take them on walks (dogs), just have fun with them!
“Sarah did a phenomenal job with my animals! She paid close attention to detail, asked questions when needed, was very punctual & took AMAZING photos and videos of my pets while I was gone on a 10 day vacation. They loved her! I would highly recommend using her services as she is great at what she does!”
“Carolina and Jenerth were excellent cat sitters and would 100% book with them again! my cat is very shy, but they were able to get her out from under the bed and playing. They went the extra mile with her as well as with my home. Each day, I received thoughtful updates and adorable photos, which made me feel at ease. Highly recommend this them for anyone needing a compassionate and dedicated caregiver!”
About: What started off as a favor for a friend turned into a genuine love for all pets. As a pet owner myself, I understand the guilt and sadness that comes with leaving your fur baby with a stranger, so it is my mission to make sure that the owner as well as the pet feel comfortable enough to put their trust in me. I am a student with a part time job. I have available time for any animal with any need. Evenings or even night walks are perfect. Boundaries are important, not only for the owner before the pet as well. That is always my top priority. As well as treating a pet as my own.
“Catherine is absolutely fantastic! She takes the time to truly care for your dog and goes above and beyond. She really helped us out with handling our new puppy! She even was able to teach him a few basic commands during her drop in visits. I couldn’t recommend her enough!!”
“Jenniffer went above and beyond to make sure that Zoey was well cared for and had time to enjoy outside and take care of business :) She had great contact with us throughout the weekend and allowed us to enjoy our family get away knowing that Zoey was in GREAT hands - highly recommend Jenniffer !!!”
“Jacqueline is so awesome. She’s so easy to talk to and so accommodating. I ended up extending our booking and she had no problem with it. She sent me lots of pictures of Monty and kept me up to date on how he was doing. She is a true pet lover! I will 100% book with her again :)”
About: What sets me apart is the genuine love and patience I bring to every pet I care for. I treat each animal like my own—with attention, compassion, and understanding. I have hands-on experience with dogs of all ages, from high-energy puppies needing structure and training reinforcement, to senior dogs who require a slower pace and extra TLC. I’m confident with administering oral medications, managing specific dietary needs, and reading body language to make sure pets feel safe and comfortable. Whether it’s working on basic commands, easing separation anxiety, or just providing a cozy cuddle buddy while you’re away—I adapt to each pet’s individual needs. I also prioritize communication with pet parents, so you’ll always feel in the loop with updates and photos to ease your mind. Pet care is something I naturally build my routine around—it’s not just a job, it’s something I genuinely enjoy. Whether it’s early morning walks, midday playtime, or evening feedings and snuggles, I structure my days to make sure pets are getting the consistent attention and care they need. My schedule is flexible, which allows me to be fully present for each pet I care for. I’m committed to creating a calm, comfortable environment, sticking to their routines as closely as possible, and making sure they feel safe, happy, and loved while you’re away. Whether I’m caring for pets in my home or in yours, my top priority is creating a calm, loving, and safe environment where your pet feels right at home. I stick closely to their usual routine—mealtimes, walks, potty breaks, playtime, and any medications—because I know consistency helps them feel secure. In your home, I treat your space with total respect, keeping everything clean and leaving it just as I found it. I take time to get to know your pet’s personality and needs—whether that means extra playtime, slow-paced walks, or just keeping them company. If pets are staying with me, they’ll have a cozy, pet-friendly space with lots of love, toys, and attention. I keep a close eye on behavior, eating habits, and energy levels, and I’ll always keep you updated with regular messages and photos so you can relax knowing your pet is in great hands.
“Kisha was our first cat sitter and she set the bar high! She was the gold standard for someone we wanted to take care of our cats! Kept us updated with photos and daily ongoings. Our cats were fed, happy, and clean!”
About: I have a strong medical knowledge background, I have cared for sick dogs, cats and rabbits before. I'm very patient with animals. I try my best to give my animals lots of mental stimulations, either a puzzle to work with or a fun catch game to play, there's never a boring day in their life. I look forward to spare the fun and love to your beloved pets too. I work part time and study the rest. My schedule is mostly flexible. We can always try to make things work. Our dogs and boarding dogs will be out for their walk ( unless extreme weather prohibits the walk) 1-2 times a day. In my home, there is a fenced backyard, where the dog could play. I have a room dedicated for dog, and a backup room dedicated for dog training. I have all emergency vet number on speed dial, I also know how to perform CPR/ First aid for pets if accident happens, I'm getting my official pet CPR license right now.
About: Hello! I love looking after family and friend’s pets and would love the chance to do it more often. I’m responsible and caring and I will take very good care of your pets. Hi! I’m a flight attendant on reserve, which basically means I’m on call. So I’ll know a head of time the days I’m off for the following month. The days I’m call, I’ll usually be at home waiting around, so I’ll still be free to do pop ins and walks. I have a fenced in yard for them to play in. I will walk them frequently. I will also make sure they are well taken care of and loved until they are back with you.

Cat parents share their Rover experiences - Saint Matthews
Booked multiple weeks with Kyle and Taylor while I’m on a travel contract. We have family close by, but it’s so nice to know my kitties are being taken care of in between while I’m gone 😊 very communicative and followed all instructions. Will continue to book.
Rhonda is an absolute gem! She followed our care instructions to a T, and every visit came with thoughtful updates and sweet little descriptions of what my baby girl was up to. The photos she sent were seriously amazing, I looked forward to every single one. It’s clear she genuinely loves the fur babies she cares for. I’d rebook with Rhonda in a heartbeat and recommend her without hesitation!
Isabella was so great with our Kitty! She was very communicative and sent lots of pictures throughout our trip. She even made sure to provide detailed updates of Kitty's mood and behaviors during her visits. We will definitely be booking her again for future trips!
Rachael was very professional, communicative, and caring for our kitty cat, Remy, while we were on vacation. He was very happy with the care she provided, and he was well-fed and well-loved while we were gone. We will definitely request her services for our next trip!

The average cost of Cat Sitting in Saint Matthews is $20 per visit as of November 2026. Most bookings cost between $14 and $20 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.

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.
