“Thank you so much Angela! Maverick was so well cared for while we were gone! The check in photos were great! Thank you again for easing our mind while we were away!”
“So kind and thorough! My dog has anxiety that can lead to biting, and Brianna was so good with him, and my 2 cats! Very fast responses that I really appreciated. Followed all instructions and cleaned. Definitely will rebook!”
“This is the first time I’ve used Rover. Always boarded Cash at a kennel when I went out of town. Now I would do it another way, especially if Chelsea was my sitter. She’s awesome, always promptly on time and lets me know everything that going on with Cash. I highly recommend her!!!”
“Rachel is great with my cats! She is attentive, making sure she plays with them, handles administering medications and treats daily. She sends both video and pictures daily - I can tell my babies are at ease and enjoying their time with her. She checks in if she has questions. I feel very comfortable leaving my babies under her care.”
“Mariaisabel was so kind and helpful! She took great care of my cats! I was reassured to know that someone who cares was dropping in to check on them while we were out of town :)”
“Kimberly was amazing watching our cats while we were away. She was super responsive and trustworthy. We already hired her again for another trip and wouldn’t hesitate to continue hiring her in the future!”
About: I grew up with animals ranging from cats all the way up to horses. I grew up with jack russell terriers, so dogs with a little extra “personality” do not bother me! I love dogs of all sizes and have a very good understanding of dog behavior, body language, and overall knowledge. I am CPR certified for animals as well! I am newly married to the love of my life, but unfortunately I have been battling some ongoing health problems and had to quit my full time job at a local dog daycare/boarding facility, and it broke my heart. This allows me to help my husband with our bills, focus on my health and doctor’s appointments, but I still get to work with animals which has always been my passion. Whatever needs your pet requires, they will each be met. Each pet’s care will be personally tailored to their specific needs, personality, and their wants.
“Abby was very kind and attentive to our pups. She made sure to contact us with any information regarding them that she felt we needed to know. Will for sure be a repeat client of hers.”
“Ari is super sweet and our guys really liked her. She made sure we didn’t have to worry about them when we couldn’t be home to check in on them. I definitely would recommend Ari for anyone needing their pets looked after!”
“Razelle did a Great job. I would recommend her to other people and I would certainly use her again. She is a wonderful person with great skills and is outgoing. She loved 🥰 my dogs and my dogs loved 🥰 her. I am very happy with ROVER. This was my 2nd time using Rover. Brenda Litton”
About: I have been around animals my entire life. We had a lot of animals growing up, including a dog, fish, hamsters, chicks, and a cat. I love animals and I love caring for them! I am mature, responsible, and very loving. I am flexible and available at the drop of a hat. I would love to provide pet care services for you, and will treat them like my own. I work fully remote and I am able to take your pets for frequent bathroom breaks, pay them love, cuddles, and attention! Pets make everything better! I give the pets lots of attention and cuddles! I make sure there are no small or dangerous objects within reach and ensure a nice, comfortable space for your pet to relax!
“Dara did an amazing job taking care of our cats while we were out of town! She updated us daily by sending us pictures of our cats eating and playing. Dara was very friendly and professional each time we talked through the app. We will definitely be using Dara again the next time we leave town.”
“Morgan was wonderful! Our pups took to her right away and you could tell she is a natural pet lover! She was thorough with pictures and had the best attitude! Absolutely recommend Morgan-highly recommended!”

Cat parents share their Rover experiences - Startex
Angela went above and beyond for my cat. I was extremely worried to leave my cat for the first time for a week, but she took excellent care of my little man. I love the daily updates and lots of pictures. Even when I had a problem with the automatic litter box she was there to help solve the problem. I would recommend and would rebook again!

Frequently asked questions about Rover
The average cost for Cat Sitting in Startex on Rover is $15.54 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 762 sitters on Rover offering Cat Sitting across Startex. 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 Startex. On Rover:
- 96% of sitters can help with special care needs

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.
