“India was AMAZING! She was consistent and left plenty of notes & photos after each visit. We were gone for a long vacation and felt like our cat was in great hands the entire time!!! Added bonus, we arrived back home and she had left a little card with polaroid photos of Lily from the week 🤗💕 10/10 she will be our first pick for a sitter going forward!”


About: I have spent my entire life surrounded by dogs and understand the deep bond we share with them. Dogs aren't just pets to me - they are family. As a stay-at-home mom, I am incredibly fortunate to be home throughout the day. This means your pup will never be left alone for long hours, and I have all the time in the world to give them the continuous love, attention and companionship they deserve. My family and I recently experienced the profound loss of our beloved pups, including my 17 1/2 year old dachshund and our beautiful Scottish Terrier, both of whom fought brave battles with cancer. We deeply miss the joy, energy and presence of animals in our home. I have so much love left to give and I want to dedicate the time and affection to keeping your pups happy, safe and completely spoiled while you are away. I am a stay-at-home mom. So because I am home during the day, your dog's routine won't be disrupted. I am here to provide timely potty breaks, structured feeding schedules, walks and constant supervision. Because we don't currently have any pets, your dog will receive 100% of our household's attention, cuddles and care. I know exactly how hard it is to trust someone else with your furry family member. Because I've been in your shoes, I prioritize clear communication, daily photo updates and absolute respect for your dog's established routines. Every pup has different needs and I'm always happy to discuss them with you so we can make sure your furry family member receives the best possible care wherever they feel most comfortable.
“Marina did a great job with twice daily drop-ins for 3 cats for 4 days. The cats where all comfortable with her and all went smoothly. She also seems to be a genuinely nice person. She is going to come by for drop-ins for my cats on my next trip as well!”

“Kensey was awesome!!! It was our first time leaving our sweet boy and thankfully we came home to a happy and content kitty. He and Kensey adjusted well to each other and in no time she was understanding his kitty language and habits. She was very conscientious and really wanted to make sure she was keeping him to his normal routine as much as possible. He seemed very relaxed and comfortable with her. She administered his gabapentin at night with no problem. She sent us pictures and communicated very well. The house looked great when we returned. She is very sweet and it was obvious she has a love for animals and is very comfortable with them.”

“Mia was the absolute best! I am always so nervous leaving my cat and hoping that the sitter will be warm and loving and she was this and so much more! He was in such a good mood when I returned home. She took lots of pictures and gave great updates. Would absolutely recommend and would 100 percent ask her to watch him again. Thank you Mia!”

About: Hello! My name is Alison, I am 43 years old and have had dogs and cats all my life. I currently have two cats (15 and 18 yrs old) and two pups (2 and 4 yrs old) of my own. They are my absolute world! My pups are high energy, so I am very familiar on how to burn energy!! I am available for animals of all ages. I am full of energy myself, so I will be able to provide playtime, walks, cuddles, food, and medicines if required! I am more than happy to meet you and spend time with you and your babies before you decide on me, so you feel extremely comfortable with who is taking care of your fur babies! I am currently not working, so I have plenty of time to spend caring for your babies as I would care for my own :) I am happy to take them for walks, play ball, or anything else they love to do! I will care for your pets exactly per your instructions. Whether it’s taking them for walks, play time, etc. I will always make sure to leave your space just as I found it!

About: Experienced lifelong animal lover offering reliable, dedicated pet care. Having personally cared for a wide variety of animals—including dogs, cats, rabbits, and livestock—I understand the unique needs and temperaments of different pets. I bring patience, strong empathy, and attentive, playful energy to ensure your pets feel safe, active, and comfortable while you're away. I work in the mornings and I'm off on the evenings. If you like me to stay at your home I can do that too, I've done it before with my aunt's and cousin's cat I have a kitty on my own, her name is Velvette. I wake up at 5am to get myself ready for work, before I leave around 6:30am I feed her tuna, and pour some of her dry food in another bowl. When I come back I give her treats, play with her, she follows me around and then we lay together in bed and then 10am I feed her tuna again
“Mya did a great job taking care of our less than friendly cat. She did everything we discussed and provided a detailed update after her visit. I would highly recommend Mya and plan to use her services again.”
About: I’ve been around cats pretty much my entire life, and I’ve always had a special love for them. I currently have four cats of my own, so I understand that every cat has their own personality, routines, and little quirks. I’m very patient, attentive, and genuinely enjoy spending time with cats and making sure they feel comfortable, safe, and loved. I also understand how important it is to have someone you can truly trust to care for your fur babies when you’re traveling, working, or simply away from home. Leaving your pets with someone else can be stressful, and I want you to feel at ease knowing they’re being looked after with the same love, attention, and care I’d give my own. Whether your cat is playful and social, shy and reserved, or prefers to do their own thing, I’ll respect their personality and make sure they get the care and attention they need. My goal is to make both you and your kitty feel comfortable and give you one less thing to worry about while you’re away. ❤️ I have a very flexible schedule, which allows me to dedicate plenty of time and attention to pet care. I’m able to accommodate different routines and schedules, whether that means morning visits, afternoon check-ins, or evening care. I’m also happy to spend extra time making sure your cat feels comfortable, gets some attention and playtime, and has everything they need while you’re away. I understand how important consistency and routine are for cats, and I’ll do my best to keep things as familiar and stress-free as possible. I understand how much trust it takes to let someone into your home and care for your pets. I take that responsibility seriously and always make sure to follow the owner’s instructions and respect their home and their cat’s routine. I pay close attention to details like feeding schedules, fresh water, litter box cleanliness, and making sure doors and windows are secure. I also understand that every cat is different, so I take the time to get to know their personality and make sure they feel safe and comfortable around me. My goal is to give you peace of mind knowing your fur babies are in caring and responsible hands while you’re away.

I’ll treat your furry family members like my own, making sure they feel safe, happy, and loved while you’re away! I’m retired and have plenty of free time! I’m home most of the day. I’m happy to accommodate different schedules and routines! I own my home and have a fenced in backyard with plenty of room to play!

About: I’ve always loved dogs and how unique each one of them are. To this day it amazes me how a pet can be your best friend , even if they can’t respond. They are the best listeners and the best huggers! I am home all day so I can take care of your fur children all day! It’s just my husband my daughters and I. Must be house trained .I do take more than one dog at once so please let me know if you want your dog to just be the only one here!!

I have a fully fenced yard as well!
“Stephanie was fantastic. From the first conversation through her last visit our Liberty was in good hands. I high recommend you book her if you need your dog taken care of. We have no need to book anyone else but her for our loving Liberty. Thanks Stephanie!!”

“Hilary was wonderful with my two cats! She communicated daily and took lots of photos and videos for me! She also went above and beyond and watered my plants while I was gone! I will definitely be using her again next time we go out of town and would recommend her to anyone else! Thank you for taking such good care of my girls!”

Cat parents share their Rover experiences - Waxhaw
This was our first time using Ryan and she did everything we asked. Plus, we have three cats, all with medical needs and medication regimes, which she also handled while we were away (for four days). We’re relieved to have someone we can trust with our cats and our home. Thanks Ryan for the help!

Not sure how we lucked out with Meghan as we just moved to Waxhaw and didn’t know any pet sitters, but she was amazing with our two older cats. One with special needs! One is shy and hides and she was a hit with him the first day. She gave his brother the meds and insulin shots he needed and sent us lots of adorable pictures while we were away.

Yaphet was incredible. Our 12 year old dog Bree is not easy to work with to begin with and we had just moved so she was extra on edge. He handled her well, gave her the dailies she needed + exercise and was great with our cat Tuft as well at the same time. He was communicative, took photos and updated us as needed. Highly recommend!

The average cost of Cat Sitting in Waxhaw is $20 per visit as of November 2026. Most bookings cost between $16 and $30 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.
As of November 2026, there are 654 sitters on Rover offering Cat Sitting across Waxhaw. 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 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.

- 86% of sitters can help with special care needs

- 94% 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 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.
