“Madelyn is an angel! She was amazing with our two cats who are usually hesitant to strangers. I recommend her to everyone who needs any sort of pet services.”
“Sophia did a great job caring for my kitties while I was on vacation. She made sure to give them love and attention as if they were her own. I loved that I got pictures every day, so I never had to worry about them.”

About: I have extensive experience with caring for cats of all ages! I foster kittens and cats in my home for local shelter in summer and fall months. I have also cared for sick cats recovering from surgery - administering meds is my specialty :) Cats are a HUGE part of my life, and I love every minute of it! I am free every weekend; During the week, I do have a full time job during business hours, but can fit visits in either before, on lunch hour, and after work! I have a dedicated "cat room" in my home to board: full of windows, cat trees, toys, etc. It is a cat's paradise! If in a client's home, I am very respectful of the space, and make sure your kitty is given all the love and care as if they were my own!
“Casey is exceptional! This was our first time hiring a sitter for our senior cat through Rover, and Casey made the entire experience such a positive one. Casey came to our house a week before our booking for a meet & greet. We could immediately tell she was very competent and professional. Meeting with her ahead of time completely put us at ease. Our cat was clearly comfortable with Casey during the meet & greet. Casey provided wonderful pictures and updates after each of her drop-in visits while we were out of town. She followed our directions down to a tee and was incredibly neat and tidy, going above and beyond by washing our cat's extra dishes, rinsing out the recycling, etc. Our cat generally runs away when anyone (including myself and my husband!) first comes through the door, but Maggy was greeting Casey at the front door when she arrived for her drop-in visits. It was wonderful to know our cat was so comfortable with Casey. We highly recommend Casey and are already looking forward to booking her for future trips!”
“Raquel was incredibly kind, attentive, and caring with our cats. She communicated with us very well throughout and sent great photos that gave us total peace of mind. She took excellent care of them, and we truly appreciated the love and attention she gave. We’d happily book with her again! Thank so much for everything Raquel!”
“Absolutely perfect! Communication was amazing, she recognized health symptoms and brought them to my attention, it made our time away from home so much more relaxing knowing the cats were being taken care of so well. We will for sure be repeat clients, thank you thank you thank you!”
About: I love fur babies! Whether it’s running around and playing with a younger ball of energy, just talking and petting an older “pup” I’m your girl I’ve cared for neighborhood pets since I was 12 years old. I have had pets in my home my entire life. I’d love to give you a stress free time away knowing your beloved animals are in great care while you are unavailable. During the week I would like to schedule regular evening walks, drops ins, or boarding. And weekends I am completely available. I can accommodate weekday services as long as I have enough of an advanced notice. I have a large fenced in yard! I am a very adventurous, outdoors person so if your dog is energetic I will be out there finding out what your dog enjoys to do, whether it be being chased, catching a ball, or just being curious and walking the neighborhood if you’re baby plans on hanging out with me I would definitely keep he/she active! I am currently working Monday-Thursdays, with a very flexible schedule! I am able to do drop ins or walks anytime throughout the day, but I will be able to give more devoted time for boarding typically Thur thru Sunday. We have a fenced in yard and plenty of space for your fur babies to run around and feel at home! My family will live on your pets as if they are our own!

Emily is such a gem!!! This was our first time leaving our cat with a sitter and she went above and beyond. From the meet and greet until the final photo update of our little boy 🐈⬛ she was fantastic. Not only that but she had no problem with some miscellaneous things that happened (mail arriving etc) and kept us updated on that as well. We loved receiving her daily updates with photos on our little guy. Our cat loved her, too. Would definitely rebook with Emily!

Frequently asked questions about Rover
The average cost of Cat Sitting in South Bend is $20 per visit as of November 2026. Most bookings cost between $18 and $28 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. As long as your booking dates and pet profiles are accurate, the price shown before you confirm is the total, including any booking fee.
As of November 2026, there are 70 sitters on Rover offering Cat Sitting across South Bend. 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 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.
Yes, you can find sitters who have experience with handling special pet needs in South Bend. On Rover:
- 92% of sitters can help with special care needs
- 97% can help with giving oral medications or injections
- 90% 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 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.
