“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!”
“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 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 Monday through Friday and occasional weekends. I start at 11 and my hours range from 2 to 5 hours a day. So my day job won’t take me away from your pet for too long. 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.
“My kitty Millie is so shy but Katy just pulls her out of her shell. Katy is a wonderful pet friend - patient, caring and kind. I wouldn’t trust my kitty with anyone else. 5+ stars!”
“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.”
“Lucy took wonderful care of our senior cat. She was reliable, communicative and gave the best updates. She had an obvious love for animals and we would highly recommend Lucy to anyone looking for a pet sitter!”
“Once again Daria was great with our dogs. She spent time with them and took them on long walks, often doing a bit extra (like making sure they both got time with the chuck it ball)- we are extremely happy to have her- we can depend on her to take such good care of both dogs!”
“Paul-Louis is a great cat sitter. Loved the photos each day and the kitties were happy and healthy when we returned home. He kept the litter immaculate and checked in on time each day. Would absolutely recommend him as a pet sitter!”
“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.”
“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!💖”
“Andrew provided excellent care to our cat Hercules over the Christmas holidays. When something was out of place, he proactively reached out to us so he could confirm and get advice. When we ended up arriving home earlier than expected, he accommodated. We’re definitely keeping him in the Rolodex!”

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!
Jenna was a wonderful sitter for our cats. She made sure to look for our shy cat to make sure he was ok which was very appreciated! She sent us a lot of picture updates and was thorough in her communication. Our cats seemed happy to have her company. Thank you Jenna!!

Frequently asked questions about Rover
The average cost for Cat Sitting in Story on Rover is $16.65 per visit (as of August 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.
Yes, you can find sitters who have experience with handling special pet needs in Story. On Rover:

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.
