“Kaitlyn has been fantastic. She is very responsive to my dogs needs. She is on time and so sweet with my boy making sure he gets potty breaks, and exercise, and love. She is easy to commute with and is adaptive with our needs day to day. 10/10 would recommend.”

“Sarah was great!!! She watched our dog for the first time today, and we will definitely be rebooking. She was very communicative and took great care of our girl! Our dog absolutely loved her! Today we only needed care for one of our dogs, but she previously did a meet and greet with our other dog who is extremely scared and skittish around new people. Sarah was amazing with her too and made out scared pup so much more comfortable. We highly recommend Sarah and will definitely be booking her again!”

“Taryn is wonderful-responsible & caring to both our pets and us. She stays in touch, keeping us informed and feeling confident that our home and animals were in the best of care. When we are in need of services, I first reach out to Taryn to see if she is available. I highly recommend!”

“Hailey was so patient and flexible with us as we arranged care for our dog after he had been hospitalized for an acute illness. She sent plenty of pictures and updates to put our mind at ease! Will be booking with her again!”

“Sarah was so communicative and was so great with our furbabies! They loved all the attention and love she gave them! I will definitely be booking her for our future trips! Thank you for all you do 🖤”

“Leah is great! She took excellent care of Whitney. Lots of ball throws and making sure she didn’t get too hot in the summer heat/humidity. Leah made sure whit got food and water. She had excellent communication. I appreciated the detailed report cards. Highly recommend!”


About: HI I’m Heaven, and I’ve always loved being around animals. I have a one year old cat named Ponyo and a three year old English Bulldog named Molly, so I’m used to both playful energy and laid-back cuddle time. I’ve done pet sitting before and love it! I know how important it is to make pets feel comfortable and cared for while their owners are away. I’m easygoing, patient, and attentive, and I try to match each pet’s personality so they feel safe and happy. I’d love to help take care of your pets and make things a little less stressful for you while you’re away! I’m currently working part time, and have a lot of wiggle room to fit in your needs! I take daily walks with my own dog and love getting to be outside with pets. When caring for pets in an owner’s home, I prioritize keeping their routine as consistent as possible so they feel safe and comfortable. I follow all care instructions closely, including feeding schedules, medications, walks, and playtime. I treat every home with respect by keeping things clean, secure, and exactly as I found them. I also provide regular updates with photos so owners can feel confident their pets are happy and well cared for :)
About: I am an experienced dog owner and sitter. I grew up in a family that always had pets, including cats and dogs, and have owned multiple dogs since living on my own. Currently, I have one small chiweenie and regular dogsit dogs including Cocker Spaniels, Golden Retrievers, and Great Pyrenees. Shy or nervous rescue pets are no problem! I can handle any dog big or small, high energy, timid, low energy, giant breeds, counter surfers, etc. Pets with medical issues are welcome as I have experience taking care of dogs and cats with a variety of issues who’ve needed everything from shots throughout the day or diaper changes or to receive mobility assistance. I also have experience caring for chickens if you need someone to care for your chicks. I work full-time from 8 AM-5 PM. I have a long lunch, so I can stop by to take care of any needs during the day. Drop off/pickup prior to or after work is preferred, except on the weekends when I’m free. If you really need a specific drop off or pickup time, please let me know early so I can try to accommodate that. I am up early every morning to give pets plenty of time to eat and play before leaving. When I get home, the first thing I do is let pets out to potty and to play. Throughout the evening, there is plenty of time for walks and playtime before bed. . First and foremost, I will strive to match or mimic the care and routine you give your pets at home. With a fenced in yard, your pet will have a safe place to potty and play. There are also many parks nearby to take your pet on walks or provide them with socialization. Pets are able to climb on furniture, sleep on my bed, and have mostly free rein of the house — my home is their home while we’re here. However, I have a pet gate I can put up and experience crating pets (as well as crate training dogs) for any pet who can’t be left free to roam.
“Linda was so great and took wonderful care of our dog! This was our first time using Rover and she was incredibly helpful in answering all of our questions. She is so kind and very timely in her check ins as well as sending photos. It was so nice not to worry about our dog while we were away. We will for sure be returning to her services in the future!”

“Ashley was prompt in responding, always courteous and friendly. Her check-in reports showed me that our cat was relaxed and happy with her. When our flight was cancelled she was ready to extend our pet's check-ins without a hitch. She was observant and knowledgeable about our cat's behavior and made good alternative play suggestions to help retrain some behaviors that might become problematic. The check-in schedule varied a bit from what we agreed upon, but I told her I was flexible and actually the changes seemed to suit the cat fine. I sure hope she'll be available the next time I need someone to check-in on our cat.”

“Samantha did an awesome job watching our pups! They adored her and we felt so comfortable with her. She was always on time and let us know how things were going with each check-in. We will definitely request her as often as possible and would recommend her services to anyone. Great job!”


“Grave was the kindest professional caregiver we’ve ever had — sadly our sweet Ellie passed away on the second day of our trip — she hadn’t been sick and we will never know what happened but Grace handled a very difficult situation with such care and concern. She made sure Kai was cared for everyday knowing he had lost his companion, Thank you, Grace!”

About: My goal in pet sitting is to provide quality care specific to the pet I care for. I have worked with a variety of animals over the years including many breeds of both dogs and cats. Furthermore, I am a pre-vet student and have worked with a variety of vets, meaning I have expert knowledge on how to best work with pets. As I am a University of Georgia student, my work week is quite busy. However, I am available through select parts of the day and on weekends. Quick check ins for pet care would be the highlight of my day! I will evaluate the pet I am caring for based off communication from my client as well as my own observations. Approaching each pet as a blank slate and learning their needs with patience is important to me. Of course, constant and continued communication with my client is of the utmost importance to ensure the best quality of pet care.
“Lauren was an excellent pet sitter! She was kind, reliable, and incredibly communicative throughout the entire time. I loved getting regular updates and pictures of my pet, which really put me at ease. It was clear she treated my pet with so much care. I highly recommend her services and will definitely book her again.”

About: @ahartpetsitting on insta!! I’ve been taking care of animals as long as I can remember. Hermit crabs, guinea pigs, lizards, fish, chickens, you name it! I just love every animal, and I still believe that they can speak, just not when we’re in the room. I work professionally with dogs every single day as a manager of a dog care facility. I’m known for liking the “bad dogs” at work along with special needs and older pets as well (I love powdered sugar faces)! I treat each animal as my own, and I would do the same with yours! I work full time as a manager at a doggy daycare, I would be able to get you a registration forms and take your pup to work with me if you’d like! My job is very flexible so I can also come home at any point and let your pup out instead of bringing them with me. I am also open to not working during the time I care for your pet. Message me and let’s talk! If you don’t have a dog, I am more than happy to talk with you and figure out if I need to come home for breaks or not work! I care for each pet exactly how owners ask me too, just with lots of extra love! I can chill if that’s what your pet likes to do, or I can adventure. I love being outside in nature as well as cozying up on the couch :)

The average cost for Cat Sitting in Watkinsville on Rover is $21.09 per visit (as of August 2026). However, all sitters set their own rates based on experience, location, and availability.

As of August 2026, there are 478 sitters on Rover offering Cat Sitting across Watkinsville. 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.

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.
