“This was my second time with Tatum and she was great! Always making sure my cat was well taken care of and even bringing some of her own treats when I ran out. She’s lovely and definitely recommend her!😊”
“Audrey took such great care of Oliver, he didn't even fuss at us when we got home! I'm pretty sure he'd like us to go away again. She is very responsive, respectful, and responsible. Thank you so much for your TLC while we were away!”
“Nicole did an excellent job of caring for my shy and sometimes ornery Siamese cat. She was even able to get pics of her in her favorite chair which is great because often she will hide under the couch when company is visiting. I would not hesitate to use her again.”
About: I’ve grown up surrounded by animals and have experience caring for dogs, cats, fish, turtles, tortoises, and hamsters. I’ve also worked in a veterinary hospital, where I gained hands-on experience caring for pets and learned the importance of patience, responsibility, and individualized care. I’m very organized and detail-oriented, so I’m careful to follow each pet’s routine, feeding schedule, medications, and specific instructions. I know how important it is to feel confident that your pets are in good hands, and I’ll treat every animal with the same care and attention I would give my own. 🐾❤️ I’m a Clemson undergraduate student with a flexible schedule that allows me to fit pet care into my daily routine. I’m organized and responsible with my time, and I plan my classes and other commitments around my pet-sitting availability. I’m available for walks, drop-in visits, and overnight care, and I’m happy to work with you to find a schedule that fits your pet’s needs! I treat every pet and home with the same care and respect I would want for my own. I carefully follow each pet’s routine and any instructions provided, including feeding, medications, walks, and special needs. I’m very organized and detail-oriented, so I make sure everything is done safely and consistently. I also keep a clean and secure environment, pay close attention to pets while they’re in my care, and communicate with owners throughout the visit so they can feel confident their pets are happy and safe.
About: I’ve had dogs of all sizes and cats all my life! I’ve raised puppies, dogs with behavioral problems, I’ve even done training. I always loved dog sitting my neighbors dogs and going on walks and taking a pup along with me! I am currently a college student (go Clemson!) so before and after my classes I have all the free time to come care for your pet! I love walks, and I even have a dog park in my neighborhood! I know how to use harnesses on dogs (and cats haha!) and took training classes for knowing how to train and correctly walk and deal with dogs and puppies!
“Nicole was wonderful! She responded at the last minute (great communication) and took great care of our boy Teddy! We will definitely use her again when we are back at Clemson! Thank you so much!”
About: I have owned pets all of my life. Over the years, I have owned dogs, cats, chinchillas, and conures. Pets are members of your family, not just animals living in your house! I am 65 years old and I currently substitute teach part time. I would be very flexible with hours to visit to your home and when I come see your pet; I will treat them as if they were my own. When coming into your home, I would take the time to get to know your pets needs and personality. Every pet is an individual. They need to be treated with respect and loving kindness.

Nicole did an excellent job of caring for my shy and sometimes ornery Siamese cat. She was even able to get pics of her in her favorite chair which is great because often she will hide under the couch when company is visiting. I would not hesitate to use her again.
Kathleen was amazing. Our older cat crossed the rainbow bridge just days before our vacation. Kathleen was amazing with our younger male cat while we were gone to make sure he wasn’t lonely and he had plenty of play time and loving. I will definitely be using her again in the future.

The average cost of Cat Sitting in Utica is $19 per visit as of November 2026. Most bookings cost between $13 and $39 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.

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.
