“Paul took excellent care of my kitten Clover while we were away. Clover has a wild disposition, and so is choosy about who she likes, but Paul won her over. He took lots of pictures and took the time to make her comfortable. Thank you!”
“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!”
“Katy did a wonderful job taking care of our two cats. Her daily photos of them and updates were much appreciated and made it possible to relax and enjoy our Christmas visit with our daughter, son-in-law and baby grandson in Seattle. We returned to two happy, well fed kitties with clean water to drink and clean litter boxes. We feel fortunate to have Katy available to care for our cats and look forward to being able to book her again.”
“Andrew was awesome with Ella! I’ve never had someone stop in to watch her so I was nervous but Andrew was really good with communication. I could tell Ella really liked him and was comfortable. I would 100% have Andrew watch Ella again”
“Toni did an AMAZING job taking care of my senior (9 and 17 years old) cats while I was gone. This was the longest I've ever left them and the first time I've left them since moving to Stillwater. Toni was prompt every day and sent plenty of photos and updates after every visit. There's no way I could have enjoyed my trip to its fullest without her excellent care of my ktties!”
“I was initially skeptical about hiring a dog sitter, but this service turned out to be fantastic. Taylor was extremely professional and attentive to my dog's needs, and it was clear they have a genuine love for animals. I highly recommend them and will definitely be using their services again.”
“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!!!”
“Olivia took fantastic care of our cat Milton! He is older and usually very shy around strangers, but she was able to make friends with him over the course of our time away and he came out for scritches and treats!💖”
About: I've been taking care of the family pet's for as long as I could remember. From our adopted twin cats, may they Rest In Peace, to our current dog Piper, they've always been my best friends. As a young adult in their 20s, i decided to spend my early years trying to relearn how to love and love life. I travel to different cities for long periods of time to see different cultures, lifestyles, and yes, even animals! My days consist mostly me just reading, writing, going for walks or hikes, and learning to manage my social anxiety. Pet and/or house sitting takes no time from my daily life and quite frankly, i enjoy it more than most jobs i’ve worked in my adolescence. As someone who is now traveling state to state I am only taking house visits, dog walking, and drop-ins! I adapt easily to different environments.
“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!”
About: I’ve sat for a variety of sweet dogs and cats. From elder cats with dietary issues, shy cats who prefer to be left alone, puppies who adore attention, and chill grown up dogs who just like to hang out. I work full time from 8-5 on the weekdays so unfortunately I can’t be there full time those days. However I do have a flexible lunch break and can make sure a dog or cat is fed/walked within a four hour period. I follow the specific instructions given in terms of how often they are fed, given water, treats, their exercise/play routine. And give them lots of pets!
“Emily is incredible. This was the first time I had left my pets with anyone and it was Emily that I trusted to care for them. She took time to meet me and them in advance to make sure we were all comfortable with her. My pups instantly loved her. She is kind, thoughtful and professional. She cared for my girls as if they were her own and kept me posted on their activities and well being. I will definitely ask for help in the future without hesitation.”
“Tylee was fantastic and flexible with our pups while we were away. Everything was always about their best interest and she made sure to keep us updated with photos. Would highly recommend to anyone and hopefully she gets to watch our pups again!”
About: I will give your pets all the love and attention they need. I Currently don’t have any pets so yours will be my top priority. Currently a full time college student so I have pretty flexible hours. I can always check in on pets in between classes or in my free time. Willing to do whatever is necessary. If you have any specific requirements for your pets just let me know and I’ll be happy to accommodate them to the best of my ability.

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

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.
