We’re so grateful to have found Gillian! She did an amazing job taking care of our kitties – everything was clean, the cats were happy, and we came home with peace of mind. It’s been hard finding someone who’s reliable and attentive to cleanliness, so we’re incredibly thankful! Definitely recommend!

Megan did a great job with our three cats, She is very warm and affectionate with animals. Medication administration was done with great care. Instructions were followed well. She was very understanding about one of our cats who is wary of strangers. Very happy with her service, especially because it was a last minute request!

My dogs looked happy and well cared for. I cannot recommend her enough. Anytime we are away we will definitely rebook. She is THE BEST!!!! Definitely FIVE STARS!!!

About: Having grown up with cats and dogs, I recently spent a couple of years on a horse farm caring for horses, cows, chickens, large dogs, and barn cats. From feeding and bathing to administering medicine, I've spent years with animals. I love meeting new pets and learning about them. I look forward to making memories with these new pets and hopefully making pet parents’ day a little easier. I’m currently a senior in high school but I only have 3 classes from 10-12:30 making my schedule pretty open on weekdays. On weekends I host kids birthday parties which are usually only 2 hours and from 12-2 or 2-4 other than that I am free. When it comes to drop in visits I like to follow strictly to pet parents instructions to make sure all expectations are being met with no risk of harm to pets or property.

About: I work part time and am pretty flexible with my schedule. My fiancée and I currently have 4 cats but I grew up with dogs. I love dog sitting for friends and family. My previous dog was diabetic so I have given insulin and have with experience with senior dogs. I currently work part time so I have a lot of time to play with your animals! Our cats love to cuddle and to go for walks in their stroller. I use automatic feeders for dry food and give them wet food once a day. I’ve pet sat where animals are free fed or prefer to be fed at a specific time.

Best sitter we've had from Rover so far. (We have talked to several sitters, we liked and were highly qualified). Scott was above and beyond. He had Gremlin be a lap kitty (which he isn't usually, unless he'sstressed) and gave him extra love. It was Gremlin's first time w/o his people since he lost his housemate Dany. Will definitely be our first go to from now on.

Amber was fantastic! She set up a meet and greet with my animals and they immediately loved her. She had excellent communication and asked for expectations. We went over medications and time frames and she was very honest with her availability and schedule. Not only that, I was a dummy and had requested wrong dates in the future when I needed her that weekend. She was THANKFULLY available and we booked! The animals were well taken care of, we got tons of photos of our babies, and updates on our escape artists (cats). Not only that, I’m pretty sure she washed a few dishes in our sink which was such an amazing surprise after driving home from our weekend hockey tournament. It was a great experience and I look forward to hopefully booking her again!

Adrianna did a couple drop in visits while we were out of town on vacation to hang out with our cat. Adrianna was amazing with our Zoey, giving Zoey the attention she deserves while we were gone, and was prompt and friendly to communicate with. We plan to hire her again for other times we need someone to stay with our cat or dog!

About: Hi, I’m hoping to become your pet’s new bestie. I’m a lifelong animal lover who genuinely gets excited about wagging tails, purring greetings, dramatic cat stares, zoomies, and all the little quirks that make every pet unique. Whether you need house sitting, dog walking, cat care, or a flexible helping hand, I’m happy to adapt to your pet’s routine. Early morning walks? No problem. Midday potty breaks? Absolutely. Evening snuggles and overnight stays? Happy to report for duty. I believe pets are happiest when they feel safe, loved, and understood, so I do my best to keep their routine consistent while giving them plenty of attention, affection, playtime, and care. I’ll treat your pets like they’re my own — with patience, kindness, respect, and probably a few extra compliments about how adorable they are. I’m comfortable with dogs, cats, and pets with big personalities, shy personalities, senior personalities, and “I run this house” personalities. My goal is simple: give you peace of mind while making sure your pets feel happy, comfortable, and loved while you’re away. If your pet enjoys walks, cuddles, playtime, treats, or simply having a calm and caring human nearby, we’ll probably get along great. I can’t wait to meet your furry family members! I offer a flexible schedule and understand that every pet has different needs. Whether you need early morning walks, evening drop-ins, overnight house sitting, or care while you’re traveling, I’m happy to work with your routine. My goal is to keep your pet’s day as normal and stress-free as possible while you’re away. When caring for pets in your home, I treat both your home and your pets with the same respect and care I would my own. I’ll follow your instructions closely—from feeding schedules and medications to favorite walking routes, playtime, and bedtime routines. I know every pet is unique, and I’m happy to adapt to whatever helps them feel safest, happiest, and most comfortable while you’re away. Communication is important to me, so you can expect regular updates and photos for extra peace of mind.

When I'm on vacation and Beth is sitting my cat, I can totally relax. Shadow has to be medicated morning and evening, so he needs proper attention. I can be absolutely certain that he is in good hands.

Meg was great with our pets! Our dog is a reactive rescue who usually takes multiple visits before he’s comfortable and he was begging her to pet him within the first 30 minutes. Our cat is elderly and needs medication and Meg was great with her as well. She was super communicative so we always felt like we knew exactly what was going on at home. We’ll definitely be booking more visits in the future and recommend Meg!

Scott was fantastic while taking care of our cats for the weekend. He clearly has lots of experience with cats and animals of all kinds. Scott made sure to ask good questions regarding their care needs which made me feel very comfortable having him watch our cats while we were gone. I will certainly be having Scott watch them again!

Patricia is always great with communication and always replies quickly. She provides his updates and asks if there is any questions. She was also able to administer medicine to the cat this last reservation that was super last minute and not previously expected and she had no problem doing it. I'm always confident leaving home knowing Patricia will be watching either or both of our pets:)

AMAZING!!! Danica is kind, warm and super compassionate. She took such amazing care of our girls. They were so happy when we got home and that makes us happy. Danica went above and beyond for us she even took our trash cans in which she didn't have to do. She is thoughtful and extremely intelligent and meeting her is like a breath of fresh air. I would not trust my babies with anybody else. She responded promptly with any questions I had and she sent amazing pictures for me at each visit. She is a consummate professional and I would trust her with any of my fur babies. Looking forward to utilizing Danica's amazing skills again in the future. I highly highly recommend Danica you will not be disappointed. Evelyn and Scarlett said thank you so much for taking such good care of them. You're the best Danica thank you again!

Frequently asked questions about Rover

The average cost for Cat Sitting in Scotia on Rover is $19.98 per visit (as of July 2026). However, all sitters set their own rates based on experience, location, and availability.

Rover makes budgeting the cost of Cat Sitting easy. As long as your dates and pet profiles are correct, the price you see before you book is the same price you pay for Cat Sitting. For more information on service fees, click here .

As of July 2026, there are 556 sitters on Rover offering Cat Sitting across Scotia. 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 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.

Yes, you can find sitters who have experience with handling special pet needs in Scotia. On Rover:

  • 91% of sitters can help with special care needs
  • 96% can help with giving oral medications or injections
  • 96% 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 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.
