“Jenn is very persistent. I have a very skittish dog and she calmly spoke to her and tried her best with her. She is a loving and caring animal person I would highly reccomend her”
“Thank you Justin for watching my puppy for an entire week. Justin also came to visit Jared the day before we left so he could see and smell him. Jared immediately liked Justin. Justin also volunteered to watched Jared an additional day for me. I will definitely be using Justin in the future. I really appreciate him for helping me.”
“Grace & Mara were wonderful sitters! They took care of our three fur-babies while we were on family vacation. They had excellent communication the entire time and gave extra attention to our dog who deals with separation anxiety. We highly recommend them for your future pet care services!”
“It seems fitting on our kitty's 4th birthday, to again state that Gina is the very best kind of pet care giver. She loves animals, has excellent skills with them and their owners, is totally reliable and is also a spectacular informal pet photographer. We all love Gina at our house!”
“This was my first time leaving Laila at home and I could not have asked for anyone better! They took amazing care of her and always kept me updated ! I cannot thank them (and Winter) enough! You guys are truly the best! Thank you so much!!!!”
“Her credentials are what drew me to her and from day one (the meet and greet) I knew she’d be the one. Loki my male cat doesn’t warm up to anyone for at least a week of them coming around and he went right to her. He could sense her kind soul. I have never hired a pet sitter before this but I will definitely hire Taryn again. She went above and beyond. I had to have major surgery and was in the hospital for 7 days and it was comforting to know that my cats Stella and Loki were in terrific loving hands. Love Love Love her!!!”
About: I have been taking care of my own pets for about 8 years, and I have also helped my family with their pet care responsibilities. I am currently looking for work, so I have morning and afternoon availability to offer pet care and walking services, always with attention, patience, and love. Near where I live, there's a fenced dog park, and at home, I have a balcony where pets can relax, play and enjoy the outdoors.
About: I’ve cared for fish, birds, cats, and dogs in my own home since I was 10 years old — 24 years of reading animal behavior and knowing what every kind of pet needs at every stage of life. Today I’m a federally-credentialed animal handler (USFWS Import License) maintaining a complex multi-species planted aquarium, and by day I own a licensed home services company in Union County. Married with a young son. Your pet gets a calm, attentive walker who never rushes a visit. I live two minutes from downtown Waxhaw and treat every booking like a neighbor helping a neighbor. My evenings open up at 8pm once my family is settled in, which means I’m available for that last walk before bed, the dinner-time check-in, or the after-work visit your dog can’t get from a daytime sitter. Standard availability: Sunday through Saturday, 8–11pm. Weekend afternoons sometimes open — message me. New clients: 4 hours’ advance notice gets you on my calendar, same-day if I’m free. Drop-in visits happen in your home, so my focus is keeping things exactly as you left them. I re-secure every door and gate, follow your written instructions to the letter, send photo updates during each visit, and keep walks on-leash unless you tell me otherwise. As a licensed business owner who runs crews on customer properties every day, treating someone else’s space with care is second nature. Background-checked through Rover, and happy to do a free meet-and-greet before your first booking.
About: Hi! I'm Christina. I'm married and have a dog, two cats, and an African Grey Parrot. I work remotely, I love to travel, and I love animals, so I'm happy to find a way to combine all three! I work remotely for a bank as a Technical Writer. When I'm not doing that, I love to read and travel. A few years ago, I did a solo cruise to Alaska, and it was probably one of the best trips of my life. Whale watching was something on my bucket list, and I was really excited that the stars aligned for the opportunity to do that on my birthday. My parents have lived on a farm for about 16 years now, so I have a lot of experience with farm life and caring for chickens, guineas, goats, fish, and livestock guardian dogs. Along with my experience owning dogs, cats, and parrots. If you think we would be a good fit, please feel free to reach out, and I'm happy to chat more! I work from home, so my schedule is very flexible which allows me the ability to work around your needs for pet sitting/walking. I'm happy to talk further about specific needs. I would follow instructions of the pet owner - supervised backyard play, on-leash walks, etc. I always provide updates at each check-in and include photos.
“First time using Rover and Brittany. She did an initial meet and greet and came by one more time before services started since I was a new customer. Brittany communicated daily and sent pictures. One of my cats needed meds and she did all as requested. Would use her again and do recommend.”
About: I Love all breeds of dogs and have lots of snuggles to give your fur babies. I pay attention to detail and understand how to care for a pet. Your pet will enjoy a comfortable stay in our home with our family as if they were our own. I do not have cages or crates. They will have use of our shaded and grass covered, fenced in backyard at their leisure and get lots of attention from myself and my kids. We truly enjoy spending time with different breeds. I look forward to going on long nature walks, playing with, and caring for your pets. I have been a pet owner my entire life and enjoy every aspect and being in the company of animals. I can provide outdoor play time, walks, feedings, administer medication and give baths to your fur baby. I can carefully follow any instructions provided whether it be crate traing or snuggling.
“Kassie was a great pet sitter for my 2 kitties, one of whom is 17 years old and the other 20 months old. She was thorough in cleaning the litter, feeding them and providing playtime & cuddles! She provided timely updates & photos of each visit. Kassie truly loves animals and I would highly recommend her as a reliable, conscientious person to care for your pets.”
About: I’m a 19 year old student at UNC Charlotte and have grown up with dogs my entire life, so caring for animals comes very naturally to me. I’ve also dog and cat sat many times for friends, family, and others, including feeding, walking, playing, and overnight care. I’m comfortable with pets of different sizes and personalities, and I always make sure to follow routines closely so pets feel safe and comfortable while their owners are away. I’m reliable, attentive, and genuinely enjoy spending time with animals. Pet care fits easily into my daily routine. I have classes in the mornings until around 12, which leaves me free for the rest of the day and evenings. I’m available for check-ins, feedings, walks, and overnight stays with pets throughout the afternoon and night. I’m also flexible with my schedule and can adjust to meet a pet’s specific routine, whether that means multiple visits a day or staying longer to make sure they’re comfortable and cared for. When caring for pets in my clients’ homes, I always follow their specific instructions closely to keep their pet’s routine as consistent as possible. I make sure pets are fed on time, have fresh water, get plenty of attention, and any other care they need like walks, playtime, or litter box cleaning. I’m respectful of my clients’ homes and keep everything clean and organized. I also like to provide updates and photos so owners feel comfortable knowing their pet is happy and well cared for while they’re away.
“Jessica was fantastic! Awesome communication & prompt! She wanted to know all the ins and outs of Hanks routine so that he wouldn’t be thrown off schedule! :) Would definitely recommend & definitely rebook!”
“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!”
About: Growing up, my family home was fondly known as a "zoo." Because of this, I am incredibly comfortable with all animals, from small, creepy-crawly critters to giant dogs. I have been responsible for animal care my entire life. In addition to caring for my own pets, I have farm-sitting experience looking after donkeys, goats, horses, and chickens (but I’m not limited to these animals). I started by pet-sitting for family, expanded to family friends, and am now looking to grow my business further. I am currently a college student with an open schedule for the summer. I am ready to look after your beloved pets while you enjoy your summer vacations! I am fully comfortable with overnight care. When staying at your home, I promise to leave the space spotless, water your plants and collect your mail. I am comfortable providing in-depth pet care, including administering medications. Your animal's health and safety are always my top priorities. I never put my phone on silent while on duty. I will happily send frequent photos and updates to give you complete peace of mind while you are away! My part-time schedule at Chick-fil-A gives me a lot of flexibility to care for your pets. I have every Sunday completely off, alongside 3-4 other full days open during the week. Because I am a natural morning person, I love waking up early and am highly dependable for early-morning feedings, walks, and potty breaks. I am excited to structure my weekly routine around your pet's specific needs! My top priorities are safety, consistency, and maintaining their comfort zone. I strictly follow your specific feeding, medication, and exercise schedules to keep your pet's routine like you never left! I also focus heavily on home security by double-checking locked doors and keeping the space perfectly clean. To give you peace of mind, I am more than willing to send regular photo and text updates after every visit so you always know your pet is safe and happy!

Cat parents share their Rover experiences - Waxhaw
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!

Frequently asked questions about Rover
The average cost for Cat Sitting in Waxhaw on Rover is $22.2 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 .
As of July 2026, there are 2,176 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 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.
