I can't say enough good things about our experience with Hailey! She went above and beyond for us and our cats while we were away for 2 weeks. Her communication was top notch, she sent lots of photos each day, and was incredibly patient with our cats who need to be separated right now. If you are looking for a reliable and kind cat-sitter, look no further!

We had a great experience with Abigail taking care of our two senior dogs over Memorial Day weekend! She was communicative, prompt, and consistently checked in when questions came up. We really appreciated her flexibility and willingness to accommodate our dogs’ individual needs and quirks. It gave us peace of mind knowing they were in reliable and attentive hands while we were away. We’d absolutely book with her again!

Taryn was kind and very patient with my older, unsure little dog. Everyday Taryn took her time to get to know him. She was friendly and gentle allowing him to get used to her visits.

Brenda took great care of my recently adopted feline, Atticus, when I was suddenly called out of town. I found her punctuality and dependability assuring, and her approach to providing care to a skittish kitty in alignment with mine; when I arrived home, Atticus was in great shape, physically and emotionally. Absolutely recommend her with enthusiasm.

Leah did a great job checking in on my cats while we were away. She was communicative, super nice, and followed through with what we asked. She sent lots of pictures of our cats when she checked in on them. When we got home, nothing was out of place and our cats had a clean litter box plus plenty of food and water. I definitely plan on booking Leah again in the future.

About: I have been working with dogs for over 4 years, including basic training, walking, brushing, and giving them love! I have worked in shelters with dogs of all ages and sizes, and would be honored to be trusted with your loved little one. I am currently part time, so I would love to attend to your pet after my schedule. I can do drop-ins and check ups in the evenings for the weekdays and my schedule would be more available for the weekend. I would love to check-in with your furry friend at your home. I am comfortable with free-roam or crating your pet, as well as walking, allowing yard time, feeding etc.

We were so fortunate to have Lisa take care of our German Shepherd while we were out of town one day over the Memorial Day weekend. Lisa came to our house ahead of time for a meet/greet, and it was clear she was a dog lover and would take great care of our pup. During her drop in visits, she not only fed our dog, but also administered medication, took him out to play fetch (his favorite game), and spent time cuddling/petting him. We would recommend Lisa to any pet owner and will definitely ask her to watch our pup again! Thank you Lisa!

About: I have always had a strong passion for working with animals. I have 5 pets of my own and currently work at a vet clinic which provides me with additional resources . I know how to feed, clean up after, and medicate animals. I have worked with all sizes and ages of dogs and cats. I have experience with all kinds of breeds and animals with different physical and nutritional needs. I I work part time at a vet clinic and coaching on the weekends. Monday- Thursday I am able to be home in the morning and night with a possible stop by in the afternoon to let animals out or check in on them. On the weekends I am there in the morning and home either mid afternoon or in the evening to check on animals and be there for the night. I keep them calm and comfortable by being in their own home. Keep them on their normal routine so they won't feel more uncomfortable without their owners home. I make sure they get plenty of exercise, attention and love, and make sure they get any meditation they need. I keep the house tidy and clean up any messes made by the animal while there.

Knox can be a bit particular, but he absolutely loved the attention and care he received. We got regular updates, photos, and little notes that gave us total peace of mind while we were away. It was clear he wasn’t just being “checked on”—he was genuinely cared for, played with, and kept comfortable in his routine.

Frequently asked questions about Rover

The average cost for Cat Sitting in Waunakee on Rover is $18.36 per visit (as of September 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 .

As of September 2026, there are 730 sitters on Rover offering Cat Sitting across Waunakee. 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.

Yes, you can find sitters who have experience with handling special pet needs in Waunakee. On Rover:

  • 90% of sitters can help with special care needs
  • 95% can help with giving oral medications or injections
  • 95% can help with daily exercise

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.
