Loved receiving photos each time she finished a check in! Would definitely book again in a heartbeat.”
“I use Tatiana regularly to care for my kitty Bella. Recently I had to be away for 2 weeks. Bella loves Tatiana and was relaxed and happy the whole time I was gone. Tatiana goes above and beyond to ensure I have peace of mind when I have to be away and to be sure Bella has everything she needs!”

About: I’ve had 8 dogs throughout my life and can take care of all dogs from puppies to senior dogs. Neighbors, family, and friends have trusted me to take care of their dogs, cats, and even bunnies. I’m currently in school so I have plenty of time for your lovely fur-babies. I am available for sitting all day on weekends, and weekdays after 2 pm, I can even pop by in the mornings to feed your pups. I have a fenced in yard and 3 fur babies for yours to play with. I know special tricks to get dogs to eat medicine if they need it as I’ve had many pups in need of medicine.
About: I have over 40 years experience caring for dogs and animals. My experience includes employment with a veterinarian, employment at a kennel, and a lifetime of dog ownership. We custom built our home to be a perfect paradise for a dog's life. We have a beautiful fenced in private backyard that offers a grass area, deck area, and a woods area for those adventuresome puppies! We have a dog door for those dog guests that want frequent outings or door service by us for those less ambitious doggies. A typical day at doggy paradise includes numerous supervised romps in the fenced in backyard, walks in the neighborhood, lots of love, and plenty of water and meals as per owners instructions. As a little background we just lost our last two dogs within the past two years, one to old age, and one young to cancer. We still want dogs in our life so we are now boarding. Note: An additional daily surcharge will be collected for dogs over 55lbs, details will be addressed at booking depending on dogs weight and age. Thank you Full time care. We will take great care of your pet in our home and fenced in backyard. Typically there is an adult present for full 24 hr care. I have a fenced in yard where dogs are let out. I follow your specific dogs instructions and routine, depending on what they are used to.
About: Hello, I’ve always been an animal lover but I have a special place in my heart for dogs. Big or small, young or old. They make me happy. They make me smile. Their unconditional love and loyalty is a priceless gift. I will treat your dog with care and affection they deserve. You can count on me to be there for them when you can’t. Thank you I am currently working part time which will give me plenty of time to spend with your pets. I will make sure that they are taken care of and happy. I will treat your pets with love and care. I will pay attention to their needs and wants, and make sure that they are safe and happy.
“A fantastic relationship through and through. Kim is extremely responsive to communications. Her interaction with my little dog Fred - who is very shy and tentative with new people - was great. She reassured me during my trip that Fred was doing well and interacted with Kim very well. I am grateful for the sitting / home visits Kim provided. I would not hesitate to use Kim in the future.”
“It is the first time that Jodie did drop-in-visit for Oskar, my 10-year-old Cairn Terrier. She seems dependable and caring. I will use her services again when needed.”
“Sam is a conscientious, reliable and trustworthy pet sitter who took great care of my cat. Sam always asked thoughtful questions and double-checked with me if something was unclear. He made sure to play with my cat and give him plenty of attention. When our plans changed, Sam was helpful and willing to change his schedule. He even remembered important things I forgot, like returning our house key to us! I would highly recommend him to anyone looking for a pet sitter.”

Katie did an excellent job taking care of our two cats when we were out of town for a week! Great communication, very reliable and personable. It was fun to get to see the cats warm up to her in the pictures as the week progressed. We would definitely book her again.

Frequently asked questions about Rover
The average cost for Cat Sitting in Southport on Rover is $26.09 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 1,955 sitters on Rover offering Cat Sitting across Southport. 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.

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.
