“Even before our booking, Savannah was thorough and showed her care for our pets. She asked great questions and was sure to understand our pets needs. During our time away, she was communicative and put us at ease!”

“Bailey did a wonderful job taking care of our puppy. She was caring, attentive to his needs and kept us in the loop through out the stay. She also brought in the packages off our front porch when she arrived..not required but much appreciated. I would definitely book with her again!”
About: I grew up on a farm and have always had animals around me. I subcontracted for a Rover pet sitter for 6 months as well as pet sitting for family and friends for the past several years. I am currently working Sunday through Friday and occasional Saturdays. I start at 10:30 and my hours range from 2 to 6 hours a day While in the clients home caring for their pets, I do what is needed to make sure their pet is as comfortable as possible, and try to stick to their daily routine as closely as possible.
“Keely was great! She came by to meet the boys prior to our vacation and checked in regularly letting us know how they were doing. She was kind and attentive and took all our notes in stride. We would definitely recommend!”
“Kate has been so awesome with my dog, Diesel! She went above and beyond to care for him like her own. Constantly kept me in the loop with pictures and messages. I couldn’t recommend Kate enough, I will definitely be a repeat customer!”
“Alanna was awesome! On time! Responsive! Thoughtful! Thorough! And took lots of pictures on her check ins with my dogs. It was greatly appreciated as they’re spoiled by having someone home with them all the time. It was a great ease on my mind knowing she was going over and checking on them.”
“Taylor was on time for everything, followed through with all the details, was great with our pets, and a pleasure to work with throughout the entire process start to finish.”
About: I’ve grown up taking care of cats and dogs my whole life! Living in the same neighborhood during my childhood, I was the go-to pet sitter on the street. I love creating a safe and loving space for animals, and ensuring you enjoy your time away knowing your pet is taken care of! I’m currently working at a coffee shop, the shop closes at 2, leaving my afternoon and nights open to spending time with your furry family members! I live in town, nice and close to most places. I have my transportation and reliability ready to go to provide trustworthy, consistent, and safe care for your family.
“Jenna was amazing! I am so thankful I found her😁 She took great care of my dog, sent amazing reports and photos, and eased the anxiety I felt at leaving for a trip. I wouldn’t hesitate for a moment booking with Jenna!!!”
About: I have taken care of pets for a while now. From horses to wiener dogs I have done it all! I started out just taking care of family pets and then slowly I started to hear from other people around town. I love taking care of any sort of dog they are my favorite. Whether the dog needed insulin or two walks a day I would do it. I love animals of all ages and taking care of them is so much fun! I am currently a student at MSU, my schedule has gaps in it so I would be able to go and let the animals out or check in on them when I am not in class. I currently live in the dorms so I would need to take care of the pet in the clients home. I am responsible and respectful young adult who will keep your home and pet in great condition.
“We hired Andrew to take care of our cat while we were away for a long weekend and he was great. He’s super dependable, very communicative, and it’s clear he loves animals. I wouldn’t hesitate to hire him again.”

We had a great experience with Avery! She was very communicative, was great with our cats and did a good job giving one of our cats medication. She took care of my brother’s cats at the same time and we were talking about how great Avery is while enjoying our vacation. Would definitely book again!

Frequently asked questions about Rover
The average cost for Cat Sitting in Story on Rover is $16.65 per visit (as of September 2026). However, all sitters set their own rates based on experience, location, and availability.

As of September 2026, there are 250 sitters on Rover offering Cat Sitting across Story. 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.
