“Brandi is the best! She took notes on what needed to be done during the drop in and made sure to do them all (and some!). She was great about taking some photo updates and giving Copernicus plenty of attention before leaving. So happy we found her to watch our furbaby while we were gone!”
“First time hiring Kelly to look after 3 cats and we knew they would be in good hands after the meet and greet. She provided pictures and detailed updates on how they were behaving (2 cats were recovering from respiratory issues). And our cats took to her quite readily. Great care and peace of mind while on vacation. Highly recommended.”
“I’ve never used a rover before, but Christina helped make the whole effortless! She did a meet & greet prior to and helped out me at ease about the process. I would highly recommend her to anyone and will definitely use her services again!”
About: I’ve been surrounded by animals my entire life, growing up with dogs, cats, chickens, horses, and many other furry and feathered companions. I firmly believe that a house isn’t truly a home without a four-legged friend. Over the years, I’ve provided pet care for family and friends, caring for up to five dogs at a time of varying breeds, sizes, ages, and temperaments. I also have experience caring for cats, including both indoor and outdoor pets. My background is in nursing, which has given me valuable experience with responsibility, attention to detail, and caring for animals with special medical needs. However, my love for animals has always been just as strong as my passion for helping people. My family and I recently relocated from St. Louis, Missouri, to St. Jacob, Illinois. My husband and daughter share my love for animals, and our home is currently filled with the company of our three beloved cats. Earlier this year, we said goodbye to our sweet dog, Roxy, after 17 wonderful years together. Her absence has left a noticeable void in our home, and we miss the sound of her sassy little feet following us around. While we take our time deciding when we’re ready to welcome another dog into our family, I’ve decided to return to pet sitting and expand my services. Caring for animals brings me joy, and I would be honored to provide loving, dependable care for your pets while you’re away. Whether it’s daily walks, drop-in visits, medication administration, or vacation care, you can rest assured your pets will be treated like family. I'm currently a stay at home mom and can offer plenty of flexibility for your pet's care needs whether that is drop in visits, walks, or boarding. We live on a 2+ acre lot with lots of room to run/walk around the property. We do not currently have a fenced in yard so dogs would need to be on a leash to ensure their safety while staying with us. We have lots of walking paths in our area that we can offer for exercise. If your dog likes a quiet place to rest, we have used our laundry room as a quiet area for pets.
“Olivia is always so great with our Charlie Boy and we know he is in good hands while we are at work. She is so very good with communication and responding and we just appreciate her so much.”
“Cat did a fantastic job with the drop in visits. She was punctual, spent some time playing them, and had no issues with our most high maintenance cat’s medication. Most importantly, the cats really seemed to liked her. I would highly recommend her and plan on hiring her again for any future visits.”

Message me to claim your free visit before all 5 spots are gone! 🐶🐱❤️ What sets me apart is a lifetime of experience caring for animals. I’ve been responsible for pets since childhood and have cared for animals through all life stages, from playful puppies and kittens to senior pets who need extra patience and attention. I understand that every pet has their own personality, routines, and needs. I have experience giving medication, following detailed care instructions, and providing individualized attention. I work full-time from home, which allows me to provide reliable care, consistent attention, and peace of mind while you’re away. I am also a mom of two children and three fur babies, so caring for a busy, loving household is part of my daily life. I offer a free meet and greet so you and your pets can feel comfortable before booking. I will always treat your pets with the same love and care I give my own. I’m available for morning visits from 6:00 AM to 9:00 AM, a midday lunch visit, and evening visits from 5:00 PM to 9:00 PM. My schedule allows me to give your pets the attention, companionship, and care they need throughout the day while you’re away. I provide care that is personalized to each pet’s unique personality, routine, and needs. I understand that pets feel most secure when their normal routines are maintained, so I follow your instructions closely regarding feeding, medications, playtime, enrichment, and daily habits. During drop-in visits, I will treat your home and your pets with the utmost respect and care. I’ll provide plenty of love, attention, companionship, and positive interaction while you’re away, along with updates so you can have peace of mind knowing your pets are happy, comfortable, and well cared for in their own familiar environment.
“Joy was wonderful while taking care of our dog for three weeks!! She was timely, attentive and provided us with constant updates. :) Our dog absolutely loved her! Highly recommend her, as she is extremely trustworthy and follows direction while exceeding expectations! Thank you so much Joy!! You put us at ease while we were away for our wedding.”
About: I have had animals of all sorts my whole life growing up on ranches. I have a pre-vet degree in zoology and a masters in biology. I am certified in equine massage, but i like to give doggies some good scratches too! I have worked with animals of all kinds and have dedicated my life to helping animals. I am self-employed equine massage therapist. I limit my bookings per week and therefore maintain a fairly open schedule. My schedule is pretty flexible the majority of the time. I offer drops-in and dog walking. I can meet your pet beforehand to make your pet more comfortable. I can feed, water, allow bathroom trips, and whatever other necessary tasks needed. I will treat your animals and home with the utmost care and respect.
“Keri and her daughter were very friendly and helpful with taking care of our cat for a week. The pictures were great to see and she was responsive in answering questions. We appreciated them and their service!”
“Ali is wonderful with our cats. She keeps us informed if things happen to delay her arrival, and she sends great photos of the cats that make clear how much they love seeing her. Ali is the best!”
“I cannot say enough good things about Andrea! She took such amazing care of my kitten and treated him like her own. If you are looking for a kind, caring and thoughtful sitter, Andrea is the best!”
About: Can help take care of big dogs, and can play with dogs all day. Cats I can give them their space or play with them as needed.

When it comes to walking or at home care, I have the experience and care to work out all sorts of trouble or problems with dogs and cats.

About: I have had pets of all varieties! I have cared for strays, my families pets, outside animals, large and small dogs. I also have 5 pets myself! 4 cats and a senior dog! I have experience administering medications, dealing with food restrictions, bathing, and manually aiding a senior pup if I have to! I volunteer at an animal shelter in my spare time, and work with 6 furry friends and my regular job. My goal is to provide safe, furry friendly services to your kitty or pup! Hi! I am flexible with my pet care and will be upfront with what my availability is. I am currently a college student so some hours are non negotiable! Just send me a request and I will try my best to accommodate your pups needs! I care for the cats in my home, as well as my dog. My dog requires medication distribution so I have experience with that, and basic pet care needs!
“I found myself caring for a 6 week old puppy unplanned! Amy has been a God send for the days I'm at work or school. She's stepped up to the challenge! It's so nice knowing my pup is in good hands while I'm away. She sends pictures and thorough updates. It's hard leaving my baby, but I know he's being tended to and loved on!”

Frequently asked questions about Rover
The average cost for Cat Sitting in Troy on Rover is $27.75 per visit (as of July 2026). However, all sitters set their own rates based on experience, location, and availability.

As of July 2026, there are 1,038 sitters on Rover offering Cat Sitting across Troy. 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.
