“Taylor was great. She spent time to feed and check on our cats, even trying to find them each day as they hid to confirm they were ok. They were both excited to see us when we got home but were well taken care of.”
“Megan watched my two rambunctious Siamese Tabbies while I was on vacation. She did a wonderful job caring for them! I received pictures everyday and updates on how they were doing. Megan was so conscientious about taking care of both the cats and my home. I would have her come back in a heartbeat!”
“Beth is great with our girls. Her communication is always timely. She’s so sweet and loves our girls like they are her own. Lilly our rescue warmed up to her quickly which is always a great sign!”
“Allison took care of our girls while we were out of town for a family vacation. She was fantastic with the girls and communicated with us regularly. We supremely appreciate that she kept them happy and safe!”
“Angel was extremely responsive when setting up the meet and greet and took amazing care of Mr Cat! She sent daily photos and updates and he looked happy and cared for!”
“We love Breanna! This was our first time doing drop in visits instead of boarding while we were on a weekend trip and it went great! Bre is super sweet and our dog loved her! She always gave great updates and responded in a timely manner. She has a dog of her own and took great care of ours while we were gone! Definitely will be booking again in the future! Thanks so much Breanna!”
“Alex was very prompt to respond to my request for a last-minute booking, took good care of my dog, sent detailed updates, and asked questions as needed. Alex was very professional in all aspects of communicating and completing visits.”
“Saul was great with our dogs! He asks a lot of questions and makes sure to do exactly what you want. He clearly cares about the dogs. Highly recommend”
“Heather was wonderful! She sat & spent time with my kiddos, and provided pictures each session. Makes me feel so much better having someone I can trust there for my babies when I have to be away!”
About: I grew up in a home full of animals and have been caring for pets my whole life. My family always had dogs—everything from a Yorkie and Dalmatian to two Beagles and a sweet white Boxer who was deaf—so I’m comfortable with a wide range of breeds, personalities, and energy levels. I also cared for rabbits, chickens, and several guinea pigs, giving me experience with different types of pets and their unique needs. Whether it’s dogs or other small animals, I’m patient, attentive, and treat every pet like part of the family. My schedule is best suited for weekend sitting, as I work full-time as a second grade teacher and usually have evening yoga classes or seasonal volleyball matches during the week. However, I can be flexible depending on the week—just let me know in advance and I’ll do my best to accommodate! I take pet safety and comfort seriously, and I always treat every animal as if they were my own. Your pet will get plenty of snuggles, attention, and a calm, caring environment while they’re with me. I’m happy to do walks as needed, follow your pet’s routine, and make sure they feel secure and loved the entire time. My goal is for you to feel confident that your furry family member is safe, happy, and well cared for.
“Nicole is awesome!! Apollo loves when Nicole comes over to take him for walks! She also sends the best pictures of him while I’m at work! She even braves the snow to make sure he’s taken care of, a real gem! Couldn’t recommend her more!!!”
“Lauren was fantastic with our cats! She medicated our anxious tabby and sent pictures each day! Lauren remained cool and collected when we ran into house alarm snafus. I would highly recommend her services!”
About: Beyond being in an animal household all my life, I also have 3 years of working animal boarding experience (PetSuites if any are familiar) where my job was to feed, walk, bathe and hold playtimes with both dogs and cats! Growing up, my family’s house was the local suburban neighborhood zoo. Dogs, cats, birds, reptiles, fish, small mammals - you name it, I’ve taken care of it before! All of this experience includes taking care of puppies/kittens as well as elder animals, providing medication under precise circumstances and even making elaborate dog/cat meals for those lucky animals who are happy to be spoiled by their loving parents. I will ensure your animal is cared for to the absolute best of my ability and that every detail left in instructions are followed to the letter. Hopefully, your animal and I will have fun along the way! I currently work as a teacher - so my availability will be limited to between 4 PM and 10 PM on weekdays with FULL availability on the weekends. For the summer I have full availability on Tuesdays and Wednesdays with limited availability every other day of the week. Typically, I am available for services from 6-8 AM and/or 7-10 PM on those days. I find that the better I get to know an animal, the easier it is to understand what they need - beyond the specified instructions already provided, that is. If an energetic young pup seems to begging for playtime - I’m happy to stick around a bit and play some tug of war. If a dog is rubbing their head against my hands? I know it’s time for some belly rubs. Whatever an animal may need, I will do my best to make em happy.
“Corey is the best! He has been regularly dropping in on my two pups for a few weeks now and they absolutely love him. He is reliable, punctual, and just has a kind and calming presence. He knows and understands dogs well, and that experience shows. I would trust him with my pets any day!”

Cat parents share their Rover experiences - Southgate
Fantastic sitter. Felt so comfortable having her keep an eye on our cats and apartment. Also let us know about emergency maintenance updates and sent daily pictures of our littles and loved on them a bunch. Will continue to book Hannah to watch our cats for our trips.
Carly was so reliable and responsive when we asked her to pop in on our cat Olive over Fourth of July weekend. She let Olive in/out at the designated times and always made sure she had fresh food and water (during a heatwave). Olive warmed right up to her and allowed her to give her some butt pats. Highly recommend Carly for any cat sitting needs, will definitely use her in the future!
I always have a great experience Tanya taking care of my two playful cats! One of my cats requires medication, and she handles that with ease and care, which gives me so much peace of mind. It’s such a relief to know our pets are in good hands. I would absolutely recommend her and will definitely be booking again!
Anise is such an excellent sitter! This was my first time using Rover and Anise made me feel extremely comfortable leaving my cat in her care. She was communicative, took lots of pictures, and always went above and beyond to make sure my cat was getting enough attention.

Frequently asked questions about Rover
The average cost for Cat Sitting in Southgate on Rover is $19.43 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 .

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.
