“Great communication from Aiden and we appreciated all of the updates and check-ins. Our dogs took to him quickly and we felt super comfortable leaving them with him. He was also super flexible when our vacation plans fell through halfway. We will definitely rebook and highly recommend!”
About: I have learned about puppy and dog care through the adoption of two of my own, and have cared for numerous others over the years. I have raised puppies, cared for puppies, and cared for dogs of all ages and sizes. Our 4 year old little dog also loves meeting new friends if your dog is social. I look forward to meeting you and your fur babies soon! If I'm not caring for my human child or my pets or someone else's, I am usually available, and looking forward to caring for your fur babies! I am available for housesits and have lots of local experience. I can take your dogs on walks, feed, bathe, brush and snuggle them. Our pets are up to date on vaccinations and flee/tick medication and prefer that yours are as well!
“McKenna was punctual and sent plenty of photo updates of my kitty. I really appreciate a sitter who takes time to interact rather than dropping food in the bowl and leaving. I'd definitely recommend her.”
About: I have had several dogs in my family that I have taken care of, including one with reactivity and separation anxiety. I have also been working at the animal shelter for over a year, where I am a mentor. I have worked with several different animals, and many different sized dogs there. Am proficient in walks, enrichment, light training, play groups, and general care. I also enjoy photography and love taking custom pictures of pets! I am currently available all week, with lots of flexibility on time. I prefer to work during the weeks, and in the mornings, but can adapt depending on the pet needs. I have both pet sat at my house and at the owner's house, and am comfortable doing both. If visiting another home, I like to have a throughout understanding of the pet and their needs. I prefer to do long-term sitting at my home, as I have a large yard where they can explore safely.
“Sydney was great with all of our kitties, including giving medication and extra TLC! She was communicative and willing to do anything needed. (She was also wonderful with our dogs, who traveled with us, but loved meeting her!)”
About: I previously worked at a doggy daycare for a few months. The work included supervised group play, cleaning up messes, and taking them for walks. I take college classes on MON-WED which lets me use the rest of my time for taking care of your pets at any time of the day. I will travel to your home to take care of your pets or just spend time walking around with them, I am very detail oriented so I will follow whatever instructions you give me.
“Kathryn is taking care of our dog for drop-in visits once a week since November 2017. She sends a report card after her visit, and Newton always got everything he needs for the rest of the day. We warmly recommend her!”
About: I’ve been pet sitting since I was 14 and love animals of all kind! I am organized, patient with all pets, and will give extra love to your animals. I’ve worked with both puppies, senior dogs, and in-between. I’ll make sure your dogs’ needs are addressed whether it’s long walks, spending quality time with them, or giving them extra cuddles. I am currently a full-time student but would love to take care of your pets between my classes or on weekends. If your pet has specific time requirements I'm happy to discuss the details of my availability! I am not able to keep pets in my own home but I can take care of yours. I don’t mind staying overnight if desired!

About: Hi there! My name is Bridgette and I am 22. I've taken care of pets of all kinds since I was 9 years old! While I have been a dog lover and owner my whole life, I have tons of experience caring for and loving cats as well. Friends, neighbors, and family members have relied on me to look after their pets for weeks at a time. Additionally, I have extensive experience caring for rescue dogs, senior dogs, and dogs with greater needs. I work a hybrid schedule in the Triangle area and have tons of flexibility. I am happy to work around your pet's needs! As a bonus: I have years of experience caring for chickens! Both as an owner and as a caretaker for others. If you have some feathered friends in addition to your dog or cat, or simply a flock by itself, I am more than willing to look after them. Feed and water refill, egg collection, coop opening/closing, and coop cleanup are all tasks that I am well versed in. I work a hybrid schedule in the Triangle area and my in-office hours can vary weekly. I am able to care for pets before and after my in-person commitments, and will oftentimes be able to spend the whole day with them! My weekends are completely open. I will accommodate all of your pet's needs when caring for them in your home! I am always respectful of privacy and will follow the routine/protocol that you set for your pet's care.

Cat parents share their Rover experiences - University
Sarah is our go-to cat sitter and we’ve been so happy with her every time. She follows every instruction carefully, including the more complicated ones around separating the cats, and took extra time with my more anxious cat, which really helped him settle while we were away. Sarah is very reliable, thorough, and clearly cares about the animals in her charge!

The average cost of Cat Sitting in University is $20 per visit as of November 2026. Most bookings cost between $17 and $26 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 November 2026, there are 729 sitters on Rover offering Cat Sitting across University. 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 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 Meet & Greet.

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 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.
