“I have a special-needs kitty. Christine takes the best care of her. I have absolutely no worries when I am gone that my cat is in wonderful hands. She’s not only able to take care of her but she also loves on her so much. Christine is my go to Sitter.!!!”

“Yall - our cat Bombur has had some medical issues and needed a specific medication regimen in addition to the two other cats she was helping us with. My most scared cat came up to her! She has the best energy. She sent photos and went above and beyond.”

“Ariadne house-sat for us and took care of our three cats for a week. The care she provided was unmatched. We have had a few sitters in the past who didn’t perform well, so we were very nervous. However, Ariadne was excellent. We have two cats that take medication, and one of them has heart failure. She took extremely good care of them and administered their meds daily. She sent us updates and pictures multiple times a day and left our house in better shape than we left it. We will definitely be booking with her again for our future vacations.”


About: Growing up alongside German Shepherds, Labs, cats, and even hermit crabs taught me early on that every pet has a unique personality and routine. Whether your companion is an energetic puppy learning the ropes or a sweet senior dog soaking up gentle, relaxing golden years, I meet them right at their pace. When your pet is in my care, they're treated like family—complete with consistent routines, plenty of attention, and frequent photo updates so you never have to wonder how they’re doing. I’d love to meet you and your pet to make sure we’re a great match! I am currently getting my master's degree and able to drop in before and after my clinical work day! Checking in on your pet will be a great brain break for me, and you pet will get some love and attention! I currently have two cats of my own and observe great caution when opening doors to ensure they don't escape. With your cats, I will do the same and more! With your dog, I will double check gates before letting them into the yard, or triple check their leash if they prefer to do their business on a walk.
“Maja helps take care of Coal during my summer vacation, she did a great job and Coal loves her very much. Every time during Maja's visit, she would take tons of pictures for Coal and write a detailed diary of what happened during the visit. She's very caring and knows how to deal with a shy cat like Coal. Coal had a great time playing with her during the visits. I would definitely recommend her for baby sitting pet babies.”

About: I have experience working at multiple doggy daycare and boarding facilities. This has given me a great knowledge of how to care for many breeds and personalities of dogs. Working in these facilities has also given me medication experience, including shots. I also have experience caring for cats, and multiple pets at a time. I am completely open, and am happy to care for your pets at any time of the day! I love making new animal friends and really spending time with them. When watching your pets, I am diligent with the instructions I am provided. I will make sure I keep the routine you give me to ensure your pet is well looked after.
About: I am a very gentle person by nature. I will take care of your dog as if he/she were my own. I am extremely detail oriented and attentive. My friends and family have trusted me with their precious babies for years. I will help you feel assured that your dog is getting the best care possible. I am currently only working every other weekend per month. I can dedicate myself to your animal's needs. Rest assured when I focus on your animal/animals they will get my utmost attention. Everything I do I take seriously. Your animal/animals will get professional and constant love and attention. I have been volunteering at the animal shelter with my dad for years. He is a certified dog trainer. He has taught me to have respect for all animals. I will treat your home with the same respect. I am mature and responsible and my friends and family tell me I am the most trustworthy person they know.

“Cozette is an incredible sitter. She responds quickly and is detailed with her check-in notes. She is also intentional to connect with our pets on her visits to make them feel the most comfortable and safe.”

“Tawsha was great checking in on the cat for me while on vacation! The daily updates were wonderful and she went above and beyond to find him and send pics. I didn’t have to worry about him at all while enjoying the trip!”

About: Animals are my life and I believe they deserve nothing but the best. I've had 2 years of boarding experience with Indiana's top boarding facility as a team lead. I've had lots of experience with several cats and dogs of varying needs and temperaments. I am very practiced with specific medication administration (including injections and nebulizers), specific dietary needs/restrictions, and animals with a wide variety of special needs (blindness, deafness, mobility issues, diabetes, epilepsy, and senior needs). My dedication to providing animals with the care and attention they deserve knows no bounds. Most of my day right now is spent with my miniature schnauzer, Cocoa. For about 2 years I have devoted a large amount of my time to dog and cat care in a professional facility, from boarding to daycare. I only stepped away because I wanted to pursue an education as a vet tech. Animal care is, in every sense, my passion and career. I like to tailor my care to what will fit both the owner's needs and the pet's needs. Taking time to really get to know an animal and build that trust with them is a MUST. I believe communication is of the utmost importance and something I pride myself on when it comes to owners and their comfort and peace of mind while away from their furry family member. At the end of the day, they aren't just leaving a pet, they're leaving a family member in the care of a stranger. It's my duty to make myself someone you can feel your baby is safe and happy with.
“She was beyond awesome!!. My pets loved Jas definitely will use again when needed. My babies got lots of love and attention . Even a new toy which he absolutely loved and could wait to show off. ( :”

About: I have always had dogs my whole life. I rescued my dog Mary from the shelter & trained her out of her bad habit of relieving herself wherever & whenever she wanted that she had learned from the shelter. I also trained her myself to sit, stay, lay down, & shake. I’m gentle with animals & love to share love with them all ❤️ treats? We gotta have them! I am currently not working and have been looking for ways to make some money while pregnant. I am available at all times, whenever you need me. I have a fenced in yard, a sweet puppy dog named Mary that loves to play & have company :) I will be intentional if you have special care requests. I always strive for above and beyond for cleanliness, care & love!
About: With a strong background in healthcare and caregiving, I bring a high level of patience, attentiveness, and responsibility to pet care. I treat every animal with the utmost kindness, ensuring they feel safe, loved, and well-cared for while you're away. You can count on me for reliable updates, structured routines, and plenty of TLC! Being a mom has taught me how to manage my time efficiently while staying patient, organized, and adaptable. I have plenty of flexibility to fit pet care into my daily routine and give your animals the dedicated attention they deserve Safety is always my top priority. Whether I am visiting your home or keeping an eye on your pets elsewhere, I stay attentive, follow your exact care instructions, and ensure a secure, loving environment at all times
About: Growing up with pets, I’ve been a reliable caregiver for the pets of neighbors, friends, and family since I was 16. I’ve cared for a variety of animals, including cats, dogs, and hamsters. I also have two (very adorable) cats of my own at home! I’m comfortable with the care, routines, and personalities that come with having pets and am able to adapt to each pet’s individual needs and routines. I work a full-time job, with many days working remotely, so I have some flexibility throughout the week. Evenings and weekends work best for me, but I can often accommodate daytime visits or walks. I’m happy to work around your pet’s routine and can coordinate ahead of time to find a schedule that works for everyone. Your pet’s safety and comfort are my top priorities. I’m attentive to their surroundings and will always be mindful of their safety during walks, drop-ins, and visits. I also understand how important it is to trust the person caring for your pet, and I’ll keep you updated so you know how they’re doing while you’re away.
About: I have always lived in a multi-animal household. I was raised by two animal lovers, and have had the honor of caring for several cats and dogs until their final days. Currently, I have a 3 year old, 11 year old, and 13 year old cat and two 11 year old dogs. I have also been pet sitting for neighbors since 2021, and been a foster since 2025. I am patient and willing to give your pet any special attention they may need due to age, a medical condition, or fear/behavioral issues. I do want you to know that if your dog likes to go on a lot of walks, I’m unfortunately not the sitter for you. I have a mobility disability. I am happy to play with your dog with their toys or supervise them as they run around your yard, but I am not able to take them on walks to get their energy out. But if you have a puppy that likes to “wrassle” or rough-house a little, that I’m happy to do! I’m a work-from-home (or wherever there’s internet) attorney. I may need to leave for like half the day to attend a hearing or a mediation. But besides that, I can’t think of any foreseeable reason I’d have to leave your pet alone for more than six hours. I am very willing to take things slow and work at your pet’s pace. I do not have any specialized training, but I have worked with dogs and cats with past trauma. I have laid on the ground for three hours just to show a dog I’m not a threat and they can approach me. And she eventually did, and the rest of the week went great. I am also willing to visit your house, possibly multiple times, to meet your pet and allow them to get comfortable with me before your travel.

This was Dorian’s first time watching our cat and she did amazong! Our cat is typically very shy to strangers and Dorian took the time to make him feel comfortable while also providing a lot of pictures and updates to us. Very happy with our experience and would book Dorian again!

The average cost of Cat Sitting in Southport is $20 per visit as of October 2026. Most bookings cost between $13 and $33 per visit.

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 .
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 , 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 .

Same-day cancellations for recurring services, which include walks, drop-ins, and day care, follow the full refund policy.

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.
