“Kaitlyn did a great job watching my cat for me while I was gone for a while. He was happy and healthy when I returned. I received photos twice daily when she checked in and it was great!”
“Maureen came to my place when I had to be away for an overnight trip. She took AMAZING care of my kitty Edmund by making sure he took his meds. She came armed with cat treats and a pill popper. I love how prepared she came. She is an experienced animal sitter and I will definitely book her again.”
“Andrea is my go to sitter when I need help with my 2 pups when I'm not around. It's hard to find people you can trust so it's puts my mind at ease knowing Andrea will show up and love on them.”
“Mariela was absolutely wonderful with Kana! We are thankful for her consistency, care, and patience with our kitty. She checked in daily and sent pictures as well. We can tell that Mariela is a true animal lover. She's a great pet sitter and we highly recommend her!”
“Whitney is awesome! I felt comfortable with her taking care of my animal companions while I was away, and she really went above and beyond taking my garbage to the curb on trash day!”
“Victoria was amazing with our cat! She was prompt and came at the same time everyday to feed and play with our girl. I got tons of videos/photos, along with very detailed notes about how she was and how the visits went. I will definitely rebook with her in the future and encourage you to reach out to her for your fur babies! Thank you so so much again for everything!”
“Annalisa was great with my sweet Little Kitty! I was able to book on short notice and Annalisa offered to meet beforehand which I thought was nice (especially since I didn’t have to bring it up!) When we met she was very thorough with what was needed and ran everything back to me so I knew she understood (again, she did this all on her own). My Kitty is normally very shy when others watch her but she was super comfortable with Annalisa. I will definitely be using her again for my cat sitting needs!”
“I hate leaving my kitties but I feel better knowing they're in great hands with Amanda. She's so wonderful with them (even my scaredy cat is coming around!). Highly recommended!!”
“Merlyn gave a very thorough description of her visit and sent many photos. I really appreciated that! She did everything I asked, as asked, and it was a great experience knowing my cat was in good hands.”
“Cynthia was really great with our 2 adult female cats! she was very responsive, stepping in last minute to do drop in visits after our original sitter fell through. Cynthia was very detail oriented and gave us great updates on each of her visits. We'd definitely consider using Cynthia the next time we need a pet sitter!”
“Jazmin came by to meet Clover before dropping in to watch her and she was super sweet. We instantly hit it off and felt comfortable leaving my kitty under her care. I would definitely book with her again.”
“Always professional and friendly, great communicator, prompt with timing, did beyond the requested time and took our dog for a great long walk on a very last minute request. Nothing but the best always!”
“Devon did a great job with my doggo! She has great ideas for training that I haven’t thought of and she seems to naturally attuned to what he is thinking and what he needs. My dog is really odd, so this is not an easy feat. I’m really glad that I found Devon and I will definitely seek her help with Tucker long term!”
“Sara is wonderful with my cats. They are very shy but she always finds their hiding spots and makes sure they eat. I can relax when I am out of town knowing she is checking on them.”

Cat parents share their Rover experiences - Santee
Lara did an excellent job taking care of my two 🐈 .She was always on time and very reliable, which gave me great peace of mind while I was away. I especially appreciated the regular updates she provided after each visit—it was reassuring to know how my cats were doing and that they were in good hands. She was attentive, caring, and clearly experienced with pets. My cats were well taken care of, and I could tell they were comfortable with her. I would definitely recommend Lara to anyone looking for a trustworthy and responsible pet sitter!
Michelle was amazing! She was super attentive and clearly cared so much about my pets. She kept me updated and sent the cutest pictures, which made me feel really comfortable while I was away. I could tell my babies were well taken care of and happy. I would definitely hire her again and highly recommend her to anyone looking for a reliable and caring sitter :)
Victoria was amazing with our cat! She was prompt and came at the same time everyday to feed and play with our girl. I got tons of videos/photos, along with very detailed notes about how she was and how the visits went. I will definitely rebook with her in the future and encourage you to reach out to her for your fur babies! Thank you so so much again for everything!
Shelby and Dalton were amazing! They did an initial meet and great with our cat prior to the scheduled drop in visits. They were thorough during the visits and were very good sports when our cat was being feisty. They even brought out/in our trash bins when asked. Would definitely recommend.

The average cost for Cat Sitting in Santee on Rover is $21.09 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.
