“Evelyn did daily drop-ins for my two 13 y/o cats over Christmas week. It was so nice to get pictures everyday and know that the cats were doing well. Coming home to happy cats was so great! I would definitely book her again.”
About: I’ve taken care of dogs and cats throughout my whole life. They bring such great joy to my heart. I can give commands, walk and play with fur babies. They are family! I will be available between 9am-1:30pm. I hope I’m a great candidate for your fur babies needs. My son goes to school during those hours so I’ll definitely be able to show up for you. I can follow your instructions to a T. Play with and walk them if need be. Also fill up their water bowls and feed them if need be!
“Amber was a great sitter for my cat Poppy while I was home for Christmas. She sent photos, videos, updates, and made sure Poppy was safe and happy while I was away! Thank you Amber!”
“Ali is simply a lovely human. My dogs took to him immediately. Gus was especially excited to meet his new friend and Ali responded with nothing but patience and understanding. Ali has an energy that is simultaneously enthusiastic and calming. We’re excited to have him back :)”
About: Hello! My name is Nicole and I have one pup of my own. Her name is Kona and she’s a Labrador/English Pointer Mix. I enjoy spending time with dogs and cats of all sizes and will tire them out with play and exercise! I have been around dogs and puppies my whole life and come from a large family so I'm comfortable around many people and furry friends! I look forward to being your sitter/walker! I work from home so I’m available to care for dogs all throughout the day. I have a crate at home if needed and a couple extra dog beds. We have land for dogs to roam, but also walk regularly. My dog is a great companion and loves playing with other dogs! We don’t have a fence so dogs with good recall will enjoy it here the most.
“🦁 Wonderful 🦁 I have a Lilo and a Stitch that needed a last minute sitter to check in on them and make sure they were ok and keep them company. The DAY I had to leave she came to meet them and watch over my ( House Lions ). I came home to safe and still fat and happy cats.”
“Michael did a fantastic job of taking care of my two cats! I was gone for a two week trip and he made sure they had all that they needed. When I returned the cats were happy and well taken care of. This was the first time I was away from them for a significant period of time, and Michael made sure to keep me well updated. I would definitely trust Michael to take care of my cats again!”
About: I have taken care of animals since I was 12 yrs old. It’s a passion of mine to make sure all animals are cared for and comfortable. I’m currently about to retire and looking to purse my passion walking, visiting, and playing with animals. My schedule is almost always open for anytime. I have a fenced in backyard I have five friendly babies and one cat. I’m open to any service taking care of your babies at your location or mine.
“I wouldn’t definitely use Emily again. She is thorough, caring, and willing to work with us on what our cats needed. She goes above and beyond to ensure everything, even the littlest details are taken care of.”
“Mae was great with my two dogs and my cat. Lovely really! She treated them like they were her own. She spoiled them like I spoil them. I have already booked with Mae again next month, and I would only use her pet sitting services from now on.”
About: I have taken care of dogs of various sizes and ages for more than a decade. Coming from a rural community I always had contact and love for animals and as a young adult I have kept pets and cared for family and friends pets as well! I work in a hybrid role and am able to decide what days I go in to the office. My office is also relatively close by and I’m able to go home when need be to check on a fur baby. I have a fenced in yard and am able to crate your fur baby (as well as mine) if needed! I am typically home more than I’m not and am always happy to spend time with pets.
“Janet is amazing! She’s so organized and kind, we loved receiving updates on our fur babies! I really felt like Janet went above and beyond for us, taking care of our home and kitties. We wholeheartedly recommend Janet for looking after your home and fur babies ❤️”
About: New to the Raleigh area. Obsessed with dogs and cats. I have tons of experience taking care of them both! Please feel free to contact me for pet needs! I work 4 days a week. I am free on weekends and Tuesdays all day. Available 6 AM until 11 AM Monday, Wednesday Thursday, Friday. I am currently doing school online and would love to have furry friends to take care of daily! I have a true passion for animals
About: My love for animals began when I was growing up surrounded by cats, dogs, horses, ducks, and chickens. Over the years, I’ve also gained experience caring for smaller pets like ferrets, hamsters, and guinea pigs. Spending time with animals has always been therapeutic for me, and I would love the opportunity to give your pets the same care, attention, and love I give my own. I work full time Tuesday- Friday but am able for morning and afternoon check-ins, walks, feeding, & playtime! Weekends are pretty open ! I will do my best to keep your babies on schedule I can crate dogs I have space to have cats on their own, with own litter box and bowls I have a fenced in dog area where i can take pups to get the zoomies out
About: I have hands-on experience caring for dogs and other animals through walks, drop-in visits, overnight stays, feeding, medication, and lots of one-on-one attention. I’m comfortable following each pet’s normal routine and making sure they feel safe, loved, and comfortable while their family is away. I also make communication a priority and provide thoughtful updates and photos so pet parents can feel at ease. I’m patient with different personalities and energy levels, whether your pet loves long walks and playtime or would rather curl up and relax. I treat every pet like they’re my own and take their care, safety, and happiness seriously. Pet care fits naturally into my routine, and I make sure every booking gets the time and attention it deserves. I plan my schedule carefully so I’m never rushing through visits, walks, feeding, playtime, or cuddles. I also do my best to stay flexible when pet parents need a little extra help. Your pet’s safety and comfort always come first. When I’m caring for pets in their own home, I follow their usual routine as closely as possible and pay attention to the little things, like their behavior, eating, water, bathroom habits, and overall mood. I keep doors, gates, leashes, and surroundings secure, follow all care instructions carefully, and send updates so you always know how your pet is doing.

Cat parents share their Rover experiences - Sanford
Cassie was taking care of my 5-month old kitten when I was away for the weekend. She sent me plenty of photos to keep me updated as well as descriptions how he is doing, playing and eating. He was happy and well cared for. Will be booking again in the future!
Natasha was the absolute BEST! She took the time to understand all of my cat’s needs and made sure to address everything in her drop in visits. She went above and beyond standard cat care and I could not be more thankful! HIGHLY recommend! Thank you so much Natasha!!
Kali has come twice now in the last month. I am incredibly grateful we have finally found a sitter like her again! Kali is kind, punctual (we have a diabetic cat that needs to be cared for in specific time increments), communicative, and we can tell our cats and home have been taken care of when we get home. She has even managed to get our shy cat to come out while she is there. I am relieved to know we have finally found someone we can trust!
Taylor is so wonderful! My sweet baby is so picky about the people that he will trust and he loves her! She always takes such good care of him and communicates so effectively. He is somewhat high maintenance and she never complains and always follows instructions perfectly and goes above and beyond to make sure he feels loved. I am so incredibly grateful for her and for this platform!

The average cost of Cat Sitting in Sanford is $16 per visit as of October 2026. Most bookings cost between $15 and $24 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 .
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 , 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 .

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 , 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.
