“Amazing as always!! Exceeds expectations by spending ample time with our elderly cat. She’s really working on socializing him and we’ve seen major improvements since we’ve started hiring Rochelle! She’s our go to pet sitter for the summer. Highly recommend.”
“Great sitter — flexible, dependable, and wonderful with Dennis. She helped with a walk yesterday and stayed extra today when I was late. Dennis loved her. Highly recommend and will definitely use her again.”
“We are so happy with the care Christa provided for our dog while we were away. We came home to a happy guy even after being gone for six days. She went above and beyond - caring for Harley like one would their own pet. We couldn’t ask for more!”
“This is our 2nd time having Dave watch our two cats. He is very communicative and sends lots of pictures of our fur babies. One of our cats loves when he visits since that means he is going to get some treats and pets. Plus, he has even managed to have our skittish little girl show herself (a rare occurrence with strangers). Thanks Dave!”
“I love Kelly's warmth, her energy, enthusiasm and flexibility. I had to change plans this time because I got sick and she just went with the flow, which I really appreciate. I've already booked her for my next trip!”
“This was our second time using Michele to care for our dog, Maeve and again we couldn’t have been happier with her care!! She was extremely flexible, always available, and provided so many pictures/updates for us. Our pup is an extension Of our family, it was so reassuring to know she was loved by Michele! If you’re looking for a sitter, don’t hesitate!”
“Katrina is warm, communicative, and so great with our dog Crystal. We have asked her to drop in on her on two separate occasions and Chrissy is always well taken care of and happy!”
“Irene was great with dropping in on my two cats while I was away on a long work trip. Both my cats are unique, and she understood immediately how to work with their different temperaments. Also, she was able to communicate well with me throughout the 10-days. When I was having issues with the Rover app, she was understanding and helpful and we quickly figured out any issues. I’d recommend Irene and work with her again. Thanks!”
“Bailee was great! She cared for Roc & Cookie and spent tons of time with them. That was great since they are high energy dogs who love people. She went above and beyond and we couldn’t be happier with how Bailee took care of our fur babies!!”
“Genevieve did a great job taking care of my cat! Not only does she follow all of the instructions, she also takes great photos and notes for the check in reports. I highly recommend her.”
“First time using this using this app. I had some last minute things come up on a holiday weekend and was very fortunate to come across Katherine. She is so responsive and flexible, she come over to get squinted with my animal the same night I placed my request and checkin during her visits and outside of here visit to make sure my animal we safe and cared for in case of any emergency. It really show how much delight she get out of this type of work and I trust her in my home and with my animals. I was very hesitant to use this type of service with someone I didn’t know and was in a dire position with no available friend to ask. Now this app/Katherine may just might be my go to for any (ideally planned in advanced 😅) time I’ll be out of town. And become of Katherine I was able be relaxed an ld worry free about my four-legged loved one at home and show up to support the people I love in a very pivotal and spiritual moment in their life and gain an experience and memories I will never forget.”
“Jana does a great job and we will continue to utilize her for our pet sitting needs! She is a great communicator and her messages always make me laugh. I can’t compliment her professionalism and consistency enough.”
“As a first-time Rover user, I was a bit nervous leaving my three cats, but Carla was amazing! She has such an awesome personality and immediately made me (and my cats!) feel at ease. She took the time to make sure each of them felt comfortable around her, and I could tell they were in great hands. She kept me updated with messages and photos every day, which really put my mind at ease. I couldn’t have asked for a better first experience highly recommend Carla!”
“Bex was such a great first experience using Rover. She kept us connected with photos and messages letting us know how each check in went. She made our first time away from our animals super positive and will definitely use her again! Thanks Bex!”
“Brigette did an amazing job caring for our fur babies while we were away. She’s very attentive and responsive; sends wonderful pix and videos through the stay. Definitely book her if you’re looking for an awesome and responsible pet sitter!”

Cat parents share their Rover experiences - University Park
Genevieve is wonderful! She took excellent care of our senior kitty, Wu, who requires medication at a specific time every day. She offered to come over before we left town to meet Wu and to make sure she knew how to administer her meds. While we were away, she always arrived on time and sent us an update with pics after every visit. It is clear that she loves kitties and cares about doing a great job. We so appreciated the way she cared for Wu and our home and would absolutely recommend her to anyone looking for a pet sitter!
Once again Samantha was great and I was thankful I was able to book her somewhat last minute! She made sure my cat got all of her medicine, which is not always an easy task, and went above and beyond by bringing in mail/ packages and watering some of my plants (which I did not ask her to do).
Miri was AMAZING with my two kitty girls! She went above and beyond - took great care of them. She was very communicative & took so many photos (in which the girls looked SO relaxed - my senior cat even came out for visits which is very unusual, sitters rarely see her)! My only complaint is that I wish I had booked her sooner during my time at PSU - she is a fantastic sitter who has her own cats & really has such a good vibe! Thank you Miri!!!! 🫶🏻🐾
Irene did a great job watching our two kittens and adult cat while we were on vacation. She was very attentive, thoughtful, and responsive. She made sure our fur babies were taken care of which allowed us to enjoy our time away with no worries. Thank you Irene!
Couldn’t recommend Bailee highly enough! She took great care of my cat whilst I was away and kept in touch the whole time, had absolutely zero issues at all. She went above and beyond with a couple extra things I needed help with as well which was nice She made sure she was fed, had fresh water, played with her, spent time with her, and kept everything clean each day. It was clear she genuinely cared and treated her really well. If you’re looking for someone reliable and thoughtful to look after your cat (or any pet) I’d definitely recommend Bailee.
Emerson was amazing! She took such good care of our pets while we were away. She even came for extra visits to make sure they were adjusting to us being away. She went above and beyond! Our dogs and cat loved being around her. I could not recommend her more!
Esmee did an incredible job taking care of my cat Teto over the winter period. They were always on time and did everything I had asked of them, and more! They were incredibly attentive and would play with him each day. I'd highly recommend Esmee to anybody who's looking for a reliable and sweet pet sitter. They also sent me sweet photos of him every day!

The average cost for Cat Sitting in University Park on Rover is $19.98 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 .

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.
