“Our usual sitter was unavailable, so I had to find someone last-minute. Luckily, Megan was able to step in and help us out. In person, Megan was relaxed, easy to talk to, and genuinely seemed like a nice person. While we were away, she followed our instructions to the letter and actually took the time to make friends with our cats. The extra effort Megan put forth made our vacation more enjoyable.”
“Liz is such a sweetheart and took great care of my cat while I was traveling. Was kind enough to water my plants as well. The daily photos and updates put my mind at ease knowing my baby was being well cared for”
“Elizabeth was great! Very attentive and communicative throughout the stay. She came to spend some time and care for my cat just after we said goodbye to our other cat earlier that weekend. She was very empathetic and kind to our situation. I’ve had so many issues with finding quality care through rover, and it was such a relief to find someone who I can trust in. Will definitely be booking with her again in the future. Thanks, Elizabeth!”
About: Hi! I’m an Animal Science major at Michigan State University (graduating Spring 2027) with a lifelong passion for animal care. Growing up with pets, including my energetic Goldendoodle, Bernie, I've developed plenty of hands-on experience managing excitable, high-energy dogs safely and patiently on the leash. Between my academic background and personal experience, your pup’s comfort, safety, and routine are always my top priorities. I offer flexible walking availability around my class schedule and would love to meet you and your dog!

About: Every animal: small, big, furry, bald, loud, quiet and more, I have a strong love for. I always try to volunteer at adoption events, shelters and rescues whenever I have the time. Animals are great. They're just little guys!!! If your friend needs a friend for a little bit, I'm the guy! I've had my little furry friend for 7+ years now, and he's literally my baby. I'll take care of your's just like if they were my own :) I currently work weekends overnight, but my schedule is open Sun-Sat just unavailable in the evenings on weekends! I can start at any time in the day that works for you! Whenever I’m home, my dog is my number one priority always. I take consideration of every little detail, and I always have my eye on him. If he’s ever upset it’s probably just because he’s tired !
“Elizabeth did an amazing job caring for our cat Gus (the Wondercat). She conquered the extra task of home cares when she arrived for her first visit and discovered all of our smoke detectors sounding. Thank goodness no fire but she had to unplug/replug all of them to get them to quiet down. Then she had to calm a freaked out Gus. We will definitely use Elizabeth again of the situation arises. She was awesome!”
“Maura was an absolutely wonderful caregiver for our 3 cats! She spent a lot of time with them and even our skittish cat came to greet and hang out with her. We received fun pics from each visit and all 3 cats were relaxed when we returned- happy to see us but definitely well taken care of! I highly recommend Maura for your pet care needs… Many thanks for taking such great care of them Maura?”
About: I was a primary caretaker for my senior family dog and now a full time caretaker for my lizard and two new dogs. All my life I have gravitated to as well as enjoyed pets and the responsibility that comes with them. Neighbors, family, and family friends, have trusted me with their pets after noticing my attentiveness to the care needed to raise healthy and well-behaved pets. I am a recent college graduate in the midst of applying to medical school so I am regularly doing any type of pet-care. I am very flexible and further discussions on schedules are 100% welcome! I have always genuinely enjoyed the experience involved with taking care of pets, including playing with them, and even some of the more monotonous tasks involved. I am open to certain quirks different pets might have, and I will, more than anything else, make sure their environment and experience is safe and enjoyable. Whether you allow your pets more free reign or require a more secure environment, there will be no obstacles to prevent me from fulfilling your requests! Currently I am on a flexible study schedule for medical school studying, meaning that pet care can fit into any part of my day. I am constantly involved with my parents’s dogs lives and managing playing with them or taking them on walks is no problem for me! In my home, pets are treated equal to us. Whether that be making nutritious, homemade food for all pets in the house or making sure that they are healthy and seeing the doctor regularly, my pets are my family! I will always follow all of the rules and guidelines you give me for your pets to ensure they are living their best lives.
“Jessica did an excellent job looking after my cat while I was gone! She came to my house twice per day to feed my cat, clean her litter, etc. Jessica was thoughtful and gave my cat some new toys for Christmas! While I was gone, Jessica gave me updates each day on how my cat was doing. I would definitely book with her again!”
“Louise and I loved Makenzie. Prompt with each visit. Detailed messages including photos. Louise was clearly happy and felt safe with Makenzie. Given Louise’s timidness with new people, is a compliment to Mackenzie.”
“Camrynn S. did a great job with our cat Stormie. Our cat has some food issues but Canrynn handled them just the way we asked of her. Camrynn was good at communication sending lots of pictures, too. Stormie loved her! We'll ask for Camrynn again.”
About: I’ve been pet sitting for both dogs and cats since I was 16. Neighbors, friends, and family have relied on me to provide consistent, loving care while they’re away. I take the time to understand each pet’s routine, personality, and needs, whether that means energetic playtime for puppies, patience, or gentle, attentive care for senior pets. I treat every pet as if they were my own, making sure they feel safe, comfortable, and happy in their home environment. I’m currently a full time graduate student at Michigan State University. I’m away for classes on Monday’s, Tuesday’s and Wednesday’s for 3 hours each day. I’m not employed so I’m able to be home and care for your pet as needed! When caring for pets in my home, I make sure they feel safe, comfortable, and welcomed. I provide a calm, clean environment, stick closely to their usual feeding and exercise routines, and give them plenty of attention and affection. Pets get regular potty breaks, playtime, and rest, and I adjust care based on their age, energy level, and personality. Whether it’s extra play for energetic pets or a quiet, cozy space for seniors, I treat every pet like part of the family.
About: I have taken care of lots of pets growing up. My parents dog is in her senior years so getting a lot of practice with that as well. I love animals but my apartment doesn’t allow me to have a pet, I miss having one around. My schedule is very flexible right night so I can be available for most dates & times! I am also open on weekends and holidays if necessary! I live in an apartment so my home is not the best for a pet at the moment, but I am very respectful in someone else’s space and prefer a clean environment so I will always pick up after myself & your pet.
About: I’ve taken care of all kinds of pets since I was a kid. I’ve cared for small and large dogs, cats, rabbits, birds, fish, lizards, elderly animals who need meds, I’ve done it all! Anything you need you can count on me! Your fur babies will be in great hands with me, I treat and love on all pets like they are my own! Family and friends have always relied on me to help out when in need of pet sitting. Pets love me and I love them :) I am currently only working part-time on Thursdays 10am-5pm and Fridays 10am-7pm So I have plenty of free time to play with your dog(s) or cat(s) throughout the week! I am also available for house sitting your fur baby any day of the week :) I love and care for all pets as if they were my own, as if you were the one there with them and caring for them!

This is the second year Kasey has taken care of my two kitties. [Last year I failed to review in time.] She did great job with them. I really enjoyed the daily notes, photos, and videos she sent. I felt better knowing and seeing they were well cared for. They are both just two years old and not accustomed to unfamiliar faces. One bonded well and the shier one kept some distance, but he did come around some days. Kasey responded as needed to each personality. I would absolutely recommend Kasey as a reliable, caring, and trusting caregiver for my little sweeties. She's a great videographer as well :) . Thanks, Kasey!
I had to book fairly last minute and I was super lucky to come across Megan. She was very professional, easy to communicate with, and gave my cat so much love and attention! If anything Megan has made it difficult because I now have another wonderful sitter to choose from!
Abby did great doing drop-in visit with our 2 cats and corgi. She followed instructions and even went to extra effort to make sure our cat with a sensitive stomach doesn't eat the other cat's food. She also walked our pup twice within the one hour drop-in visit which is very much appreciated. We're definitely rebooking with her in the future!

The average cost of Cat Sitting in Waverly is $19 per visit as of November 2026. Most bookings cost between $13 and $27 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. As long as your booking dates and pet profiles are accurate, the price shown before you confirm is the total, including any booking fee.

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.
