“Meredith is absolutely the best she was so amazing taking care of our doggos! Even the little messes they made she did an amazing job taking care of them and even doing extra to clean up for us! I will recommend her to everyone!”
“Lauren was very responsive and took many photos during her drop-in visit with my dog. It made me feel so much better knowing my dog was able to stretch his legs while I was away. Thank you so much!!”
About: I genuinely enjoy spending time with animals and providing them with the care, attention, and companionship they need. I am patient, responsible, and dependable. Whether it's walking, playing, keeping them company, or following their daily routine, I always make sure pets feel safe, comfortable, and happy while their owners are away. I currently work part-time, so I have flexible availability throughout the week. I am available on weekdays after work and on weekends. I will make sure your pet receives plenty of attention, exercise, and care during every visit. Your pet's safety and comfort are my top priorities. I always follow your instructions, keep pets in a safe environment, and provide regular updates with photos. I will treat your pet with patience, kindness, and the same care I would give my own.
“Chyanne was absolutely fantastic! She was always on time, kept us updated with pictures, and went above and beyond by even bringing our trash can back up after trash day while we were out of town. She truly treated our pets like her own, and we felt completely at ease knowing they were in such great hands. I think our pets already miss her! Highly recommend!”
About: I love all animals! I currently have a dog (Sarge) and cat (Momo), plus my family is full of animal lovers. I have been on Rover for 3 years now, and have 2 more years of experience watching my friends, neighbors, and family's pets. I also have past volunteer experience at an animal shelter. I'm looking forward to meeting you and your furry friend! I am a university student on summer break and have pretty open availability! I do work a full time job during the summer at a daycare, so if you have any questions concerning that schedule please let me know :) On weekends I am completely available! Inquire for specific dates concerning availability and to see if I’d be a good match for your pet care needs ❤️ Your pet is my #1 priority when they are in my care! I am comfortable administering medication, handling puppies and high-strung dogs, using crates, and more! I am very open with my communication to pet owners and think it is incredibly important to update you throughout the visits :)
“For my first experience using Rover, Ashley was fantastic. She communicated promptly, Sent me pictures of my dog, completed all of my wishes and made me feel at ease leaving my dog for 9 days!”
About: I am a veterinary assistant and I am currently trying to get into veterinary school. I have the knowledge and experience to keep your pet safe and take action should any issues arise! I currently work full-time Monday through Thursday as a veterinary assistant. I can stop by during my lunch break and after work as needed, and I am available all day Friday-Sunday! I'm happy to accommodate any request that you might have for your pet, as I know that each one is unique and special in their own way! Personally, my dog has bad allergies, and I know how important it is for him not to deviate from his diet.
“Finding Nancy has been such a blessing. Words I would use to describe her are: professional, prompt, honest, thorough, caring, and compassionate. I have used her services twice now, and feel at ease knowing she is taking care of my babies. I received daily pictures and notifications from her, and anytime I contacted her she was quick to respond, day or night. She is a keeper in my book and if you are in need of pet care, I give her 5 stars ⭐️”
About: I’ve worked at a dog hotel, and I’ve pet sat for both cats and dogs. I’ve never met a dog that didn’t like me, and I’ve never met a cat that didn’t tolerate me. I’m a student pilot, so some days I have about 2 and a half hours where I won’t be available. Otherwise I have a very flexible schedule and can spend all day or any time caring for your pet. I don’t have any pets of my own, but I’m good at making anyone’s pets friendly with me. I’ve done daily check-ins and up to two weeks staying at someone’s house to keep their dog active and happy.
“Alexis did a wonderful job communicating throughout the day. I loved receiving updates and pictures at every visit. Knowing Bruce was in such good hands made being away so much less stressful.”
“Leanne was great with our 2 cats. I was able to text her while I was away, & that allowed me to enjoy my trip more because I knew the cats were being taken care of. The cats really loved her; our shy one came right up to her! She even gave them treats & brought in our mail. Great job!!”
“I had to go to the emergency room. And I reached out to Kim to take my dog out while I was gone. She responded immediately and dropped everything and came over in the next hour or two. Not really sure exactly when because I was in the ER 🙂 My dog loves her.... And she did exactly what I asked her to do for his habits. After personally talking to her on the phone, I felt comfortable to leave my front door open to let her in my house . And I will not hesitate to use her again!!”

“Niamh did a great job watching our two dogs when we were out of town. She sent us updates everyday! She made leaving our dogs very easy and we could tell they were well taken care of. We will definitely rebook with her in the future.”

Frequently asked questions about Rover
The average cost for Cat Sitting in Valparaiso on Rover is $17.76 per visit (as of July 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.
