“Eden was very personable and confident, which I greatly appreciated because I have a diabetic cat. It’s very hard to find a sitter who can do subcutaneous shots and she was completely open to learning. In addition she offered to water my flowers and take out the garbage. I highly recommend her!”
“Mackenzie is an extremely professional, knowledgeable, relaxed and animal loving person! Being a first time Rover user, I had my concerns but from the very first visit I was put at ease with the respect for my home and the constant updates on my pets, complete with a final review of the entire visit each time! She gave me real time updates on my pets and how they handled any encounters made during her visits with maintenance visits to the property. She allowed me to relax on my trip! Thank you so much I will be booking again!”
“Gabrielle was great! She was able to help us out last minute and was super thorough and communicative the whole time we were gone. Dogs were happy and well cared for. Highly recommend!”
“Olivia is a very sweet person I was lucky enough to have take care of my precious cat Luna. She made sure she was well aware of her needs and went beyond her responsibilities by trying to just be a friend to Luna while I was away. I would recommend Olivia to anyone. 10 out of 10”
“Camille is professional, responsive and a great communicator. I had a trip that was last minute and she was very flexible and accommodating. I know my kitty was in great hands. I will be working with Camille again!”
“First time we used Rover due to an emergency trip and we love it! We had the best helper for our dog, Charlie. We will most certainly refer to Bettina the next time we are in need of this service! I hope she’s available.”
“Samantha met us and our pets ahead of time for a meet and greet, was punctual and followed all directions, and sent a picture with a quick update at the end of her visit. Thanks for making it possible to get away for a stress-free evening!”
“We hired Kira for drop in visits on our two dogs. Kira is great! She arrived on time and kept us informed about the dogs thru text and pics. I would hire Kira again without question and would encourage others to do the same!”
“Jeannine did a terrific job, especially when it came to adapting to things I screwed up. The pups were in great spirits when I got home, and Jeannine was kind enough to share photos of how were visits with the pups went! Highly recommended!”
About: I've had animals of all kinds growing up, dogs, cats, guinea pigs, hedgehog, rabbit, hamster, turtles, crawfish ect. I have been working at a horse barn for 6 years and a kennel that has primarily dogs but some cats as well for 4 years. I'm also certified in dog CPR! I work a full time job from 6:30am-3pm on Monday - Friday. If you live in Troy I can let the dog out to potty in the middle of the day on my 30 minute lunch break! I promise to send lots of pictures of the fur babies! I love to spoil them like my own, I will give updates as much or as little as you like!
“This was our first time using Rover and we couldn’t be happier! Stephanie was amazing with Bianca. She was always attentive to her needs, super kind, profesional and responsive. We loved getting pictures and updates while we were away, you can tell she loves dogs and her job! Highly recommend Stephanie and look forward to having her watch Bianca in the future!!”

“Wonderful first experience with Abbey! Great communication and my little Stella is usually so shy and barky to new people, but she warmed up instantly to Abbey on our initial meet and greet. I will definitely be booking again, thank you :)”

About: Hi! I’m a lifelong dog lover who genuinely enjoys spending time with dogs of all ages and personalities. I have an 11-year-old maltese of my own, so I understand how important it is to find someone you can trust with your pet. Growing up, I also helped care for family, friends’, and neighbors’ dogs, giving me experience with a variety of breeds, energy levels, and temperaments. Whether your dog needs a fun walk to burn off energy or a drop-in visit for potty breaks, playtime, feeding, fresh water, or just some extra company while you’re away, I’ll treat them like they’re my own.

I’m currently on a career sabbatical, which gives me a very flexible schedule and plenty of availability throughout the week, including weekdays, evenings, and weekends. I’ve been spending my summer outdoors, walking local parks, exploring nature, and enjoying time fishing. Staying active and getting outside with dogs is something I genuinely enjoy. Whether your pup needs a midday walk, a drop-in visit while you’re at work, or some extra attention while you’re away, I’m happy to accommodate your schedule whenever possible. I understand that trusting someone with your pet and home is a big responsibility, and I don’t take that lightly. During every drop-in visit, I’ll follow your pet’s routine closely, whether that’s feeding, fresh water, potty breaks, playtime, administering simple care instructions, or simply providing companionship while you’re away. I’ll treat both your home and your pet with the same respect and care I would my own. Communication is important to me, so you can expect timely updates, photos, and a summary of each visit so you always know how your pet is doing. My goal is to make your pet feel comfortable and give you peace of mind while you’re away.

Frequently asked questions about Rover
The average cost for Cat Sitting in Troy on Rover is $16.65 per visit (as of August 2026). However, all sitters set their own rates based on experience, location, and availability.
Rover makes budgeting the cost of Cat Sitting easy. As long as your dates and pet profiles are correct, the price you see before you book is the same price you pay for Cat Sitting. For more information on service fees, click here .
As of August 2026, there are 1,740 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.
