“Thank you so much for checking on Frankie! She is currently sitting at the door waiting for you to come, even though we are on the couch. I think that is a pretty positive review from a cat (haha).”

“Kelly stayed at my house with my cat for 10 nights, and I honestly couldn't have asked for a better sitter. Super proactive in communication, sent pics and updates daily, left the house in great shape (I really couldn't tell anyone had been here!) and was flexible in the end when my travel plans changed due to weather. Oh, and I could tell she genuinely enjoyed hanging out with my cat, which makes it all the better. Hope to be able to hire her for future needs!”

About: I’ve pet sat my friends animals, and they’ve had so many! Senior dogs that have accidents and have behavioral issues. Exotic pets, of many kids. Every morning, I fill the cat and water bowl in my room, weekly I clean the bowls. For my dogs, whenever my parents don’t feed them cause they are out, I feed them and fill their water. I brush their coats, and try to give them baths every few weeks or so! However the pet parents would like, but I care for what is best for their health. I understand each pet is different and needs different things. I can bathe the animals depending on behavior, my right leg doesn't haven't as much feeling since surgery and cant handle a lot of big pressure.

About: Hello! I am a huge animal lover with extensive pet sitting experience. I will give your sweet pets the best care possible and treat them as my own. I grew up with multiple family dogs and began taking care of the dogs in my neighborhood from as young as 8 years old. Since graduating college and living on my own, I’ve adopted my own dog and two cats. My pets are my world and I’d love to be able to give your pets the exact same care while you’re away. I’m comfortable with animals of all sizes and breeds, though I would like a quick rundown of any quirks or behaviors that I need to be aware of during our time together. I have experience with intravenous and oral medication for both cats and dogs, as well as a handful of reptiles. I work full time from home but my daily schedule tends to be quite flexible. I can do drop-in visits/walks anytime throughout the day depending on location! I will always do my best to respect and follow the outlined rules and directions when taking care of your pet. I completely understand that some animals have their own quirks and requirements, so I always try my best to replicate their normal care routine to keep them as comfortable as possible. If there are any specific rules you'd like me to follow within your house, please share those as well! I want to make sure you're comfortable with me coming into your space to care for your pets.

I am deeply passionate about ensuring every animal receives the highest level of attention, love, and personalized care. My understanding of animal behavior and health allows me to cater to each pet’s unique needs, whether it involves feeding, grooming, administering medications, or offering comfort and companionship. From small pets like rabbits and guinea pigs to larger animals such as dogs, cats, larger felids and hoofstock, I have the skills and experience to handle a diverse range of animals. I prioritize building meaningful connections with each animal, ensuring they feel safe, secure, and well-cared-for. By choosing me, you're trusting a dedicated professional who genuinely cares for your pet as much as you do, providing peace of mind knowing they are in capable and loving hands. Please let me know the times that work best for you, and I'll do my best to accommodate. I work full-time but offer pet care on the side because of my passion for loving and caring for animals.

I follow detailed instructions regarding feeding, exercise, medication, and any special requirements. I also make sure to spend quality time with the pets, offering them companionship and mental stimulation through play and walks, while keeping their environment clean and comfortable. Whether in my home or yours, I strive to provide personalized care that makes pets feel loved, secure, and happy while their owners are away

About: Hey there! I'm Alice. I started dogsitting in college and have cared for every kind of dog, from puppies to seniors. I also love cats (so much so that I get weekly allergy shots to snuggle with them). I spent several years as a foster for Saving Grace NC, where I cared for dogs with high medical needs. Today I'm lucky to live in a home with a fenced in back yard where pets can have supervised sniff adventures. I work from home and don't travel much, so I'm available to care for your animals and give them all the attention they deserve. I work from home full time, so I'm available to take dogs for multiple daily outdoor adventures-- from neighborhood walks to trips to the Eno River. I usually go to the gym in the morning, and spend the day at home working. I'll sometimes leave the house for a few hours in the evening. I have a fenced in back yard and never leave a dog outside unsupervised. I'm diligent about leaving every home I visit better than I found it, and love to send clients photos of their pets while they're on their travels.

I’ve had plenty of my own across different species in the past. Currently I I on 2 cats (boys) Tank and Sully. Recently I decided I’d begin by volunteering at my local animal shelter to accompany the animals in need. This is where I’d like to say that I hope I have encouraged you to reach out to me, Robb, to sit and walk to precious pets while you’re busy doing what you do. It’d be my pleasure. Thank you Pet care is something I’m happy to make a priority in my daily routine. I can plan my schedule around visits to ensure cats receive their meals on time, fresh water, clean litter boxes, playtime, and plenty of attention. I’m dependable, patient, and attentive to each pet’s needs, and I understand the importance of keeping their routine consistent while their owners are away. I’ll always do my best to provide loving, reliable care and keep you updated with messages and photos. I provide loving, attentive care for pets in their own homes, where they feel most comfortable and secure. I follow each pet’s usual routine, including feeding, providing fresh water, cleaning litter boxes, playtime, and giving them plenty of love and attention. I respect each cat’s unique personality and needs, whether they enjoy cuddles and play or prefer a little space. I also keep owners updated with messages and photos so they can feel confident their furry friends are happy and well cared for while they’re away.

FAQs for Cat Sitting - Willow Ridge

Frequently asked questions about Rover

The average cost of Cat Sitting in Willow Ridge is $16 per visit as of October 2026. Most bookings cost between $13 and $19 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 October 2026, there are 2,296 sitters on Rover offering Cat Sitting across Willow Ridge. 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 .

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 , 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 .

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

  • 90% of sitters can help with special care needs
  • 94% can help with giving oral medications or injections
  • 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 , 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.
