“Brittany did a great job taking care of my cat! She was always on time for her visits and provided detailed updates and pictures after every check-in, which gave me peace of mind while I was away. She was attentive, caring, and made sure my cat was well taken care of and got plenty of love and attention. I really appreciated her communication and reliability. I would definitely recommend Brittany to anyone looking for a trustworthy and caring sitter!”

“Scott is our go-to cat sitter! He takes such excellent care of our diabetic cat and gives her insulin shots and feeds her. He always sits with her and pets her and gives her some attention while we are gone. He also comes through when we find ourselves in a pinch!”

About: We've had dogs and cats in our family for years and miss hearing the patter of paws! We treat our pets well and enjoy playtimes and grooming dogs. Either my son or I are home to be with your pet. I work part time and my son is here when I work. He is working on his master's in business and loves to walk and play with the dogs. We do not have any pets of our own at present. This is a pet friendly home and yard on a quiet cul de sac. We dog sit other family members pets at time. Dogs are welcome in most rooms of the house.

About: For the past 16 years, I've had the privilege of caring for the beloved pets of my family and friends. Caring for animals has always been a natural part of my life, and I truly enjoy getting to know each pet's unique personality and needs. My parents have two Xoloitzcuintli (Mexican Hairless) dogs who require plenty of attention, exercise, and interaction. Whenever my parents travel—often for several weeks at a time—I stay in their home to care for them. During that time, I provide multiple daily walks, playtime, mental stimulation, and plenty of affection. I also carefully follow their routine, including administering daily medications and any special care instructions. I also have experience caring for dogs with separation anxiety and understand the importance of patience, consistency, and creating a calm, reassuring environment. Additionally, I cared for a rescue dog with PTSD and, over time, earned their trust to the point where they felt comfortable approaching me for affection. Experiences like these have taught me the value of allowing animals to build trust at their own pace. Cats have been a part of my life for the past 16 years as well. I've cared for cats with a wide range of personalities, from playful kittens and affectionate cuddlers to independent cats and senior companions with special needs. I also volunteered at a local animal shelter, where I helped clean, socialize, play with, and care for the cats to help them feel safe and comfortable while waiting for their forever homes. Whether I'm caring for dogs or cats, my goal is always the same: to provide a safe, loving, and stress-free environment where every pet feels comfortable, cared for, and treated like family. As a full-time student with a flexible schedule, I'm able to accommodate a variety of pet care needs, including daytime visits, evening care, weekends, and many last-minute bookings. My goal is to give you peace of mind knowing your pet will be treated with the same love, patience, and attention I would give my own. I'm currently a full-time sonography student completing my clinical rotations. Before returning to school, I worked in the medical field, most recently at a cancer center, where I developed a strong commitment to providing compassionate, attentive care. Caring for others has always been at the heart of who I am, and that same dedication extends to the animals I care for. For years, I've been the person family, friends, and neighbors rely on to care for their beloved pets. Whether it's walking dogs, checking in on cats, staying overnight, or helping out with last-minute requests, I genuinely enjoy making sure every pet feels safe, loved, and comfortable while their owners are away. Several people encouraged me to join Rover because of how often I already care for their furry family members. I understand that every pet has their own personality, routine, and needs, and I take the time to earn their trust while providing patient, dependable care.

About: I have been pet-sitting for 7 years; caring for animals is my passion! My style of sitting is treating every pet as if they’re my own😊🐾 I am currently working a part time job, so I may have certain windows of availability—but I am more than happy to work with you on times :) In my clients home, I will follow all rules and guidelines relating not only to their pet, but also to respecting their space as well.

“When booking for a boarding weekend, neither Lauren and I were sure whether our cats would be a good fit for a weekend boarding stay. She was more than willing to be flexible and try a one night boarding stay to test out if a longer weekend stay would work. Lauren was friendly, attentive, caring to my cat. Her home was welcoming for my pet. She provided photos. Thank you Lauren for trying a one night trial run!”

About: I have had cats, dogs, and fish for the past 15 years. I have boarded, walked, and sat many animals including the ones listed above. I have also done feedings and administering medications. I always like to get detailed notes and a walk through of the care you need so the pets are well taken care of throughout my time with them. I am currently open to any times and days. I am in school and am doing it completely online and asynchronous. I can work with you separately to figure out the best schedule. I am always wanting a walk through and detailed sheet of paper describing schedules and everything I need to know. I will also send frequent updates including pictures. I have administered medications before and ask to be shown how to administer so they don’t miss a day.

About: I live near a walking trail for those that like a nice stroll, or for those that don’t I also have a few comfy couches to relax on. As a foster pet parent, I’m familiar with providing medications if needed. I typically work from home and am able to care for your pet while you’re away. My cats are friendly and use to foster cats so they’ll either play with your cat our leave them be. No matter what, your cat will not be alone. My home has multiple floors with large litter boxes on each floor, there is plenty of space and lots to explore. We have different dietary needs for our cats so I can definitely accommodate any specific dietary needs.

About: I was raised on a farm, w/ a healthy love, & respect for all animals. I have experience w/ animals large & small, from horses, sheep, & goats, to dogs, & cats. I especially enjoy raising & training dogs, as they thrive on, & readily return unconditional trust & love. I currently own a 14 yr. old Westie, named Blizzard, bought as a family Christmas gift, to teach my children how to properly care for, & train a puppy/dog. I have walked dogs, & dog/cat-sat for many friends, as they have full confidence in knowing I will care for their homes & pets, as I do my own, responsibly & lovingly. My schedule is quite flexible, as I currently work from home, & want to supplement my income, doing something I'll truly enjoy, spending quality time w/ your furry friends, when you can't. My schedule is wide open, in hopes of acquiring, & prioritizing repeat/long-term clients, but not necessarily set schedules, & most often available for occasional, or emergency visits/walks, as well. I am available early morning to early evening, given ample notice of cancellation (8-12 hrs.), so to maintain other career obligations. I look forward to meeting fellow pet lovers, and your furry friends! I'm very active, greatly enjoy the outdoors, & not terribly averse to inclement weather, so more than happy to visit, walk, & play, rain, snow, or shine, whether around the yard, the block, or at the nearest park. I'm proud to say, my friends would describe me as friendly, trustworthy, & dependable, so you will also have full confidence in knowing I will respect your home, & care for your pets, as I do my own, responsibly, & lovingly. I look forward to making new pet pals, & hope to see you soon! Pet care has become my primary work, over the past few years, while caring for my elderly grandparents. I'm proud to be my own boss, & to be able to do what I love, spending time w/ animals, treating them w/ love & affection, as I would my own. I have plenty of space, indoor or outdoor, to walk, run, & play, on leash, or happy to take a ride, to the nearest dog park, to run freely, & socialize w/ other pups. Your Pet, your rules! Just let me know how you'd like/prefer our time be spent, together.

Klara was really good with my kitties. She played with them and took pictures for me. We even worked through a hiccup with entry into our home. She stayed calm, cool and collect and communicated very well. I highly recommend her to care for kitties.

Beyond grateful that I connected with Lauren and Lauren, and they could help with our cat while our entire family traveled together. Communication is always quick, clear, and helpful. They flagged every visit, and kept me updated with all the details from each house visit for our cat. Will absolutely keep them at the top of the list for any future needs!

FAQs for Cat Sitting - Techny

Frequently asked questions about Rover

The average cost of Cat Sitting in Techny is $27 per visit as of October 2026. Most bookings cost between $18 and $32 per visit. On Rover, sitters set their own rates based on factors such as their experience, the length of care, the number of pets, and your pet’s specific needs. As long as your booking dates and pet profiles are accurate, the price shown before you confirm is the total, including any booking fee.

As of October 2026, there are 5,738 sitters on Rover offering Cat Sitting across Techny. 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 .

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 .

Yes, you can find sitters who have experience with handling special pet needs in Techny. On Rover:

  • 86% of sitters can help with special care needs
  • 91% can help with giving oral medications or injections
  • 94% can help with daily exercise

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 , which you can find on their profile under their contact information. Sitters may set a same-day, one-, three-, or seven-day cancellation policy. Cancelling within your sitter’s cancellation policy qualifies you for a full refund.

Same-day cancellations for recurring services, which include walks, drop-ins, and day care, follow the full refund policy. Otherwise, for pet boarding and house sitting, if you cancel after 12 pm on the applicable cancellation deadline, you’ll receive a 50% refund for the first seven days of the booking and a 100% refund for any remaining days.

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.
