“Dawn is outstanding! We were nervous to let someone into our home to check on our two kitties each day during our two-week vacation. Dawn made the entire process easy and comforting from beginning to end. After the meet and great, we knew our kitties were in good hands. She provided detailed and personalized updates each day and sent photos. While our cats are typically apprehensive of strangers, Dawn took the time to develop a connection with both of them, adjusting food requirements, brushing and playing with them. She even watered the house plants for us. We never worried for a minute while away. We feel very fortunate to have found Dawn and will certainly recommend her to our family and friends, Thank you, Dawn!!”

About: I’ve grown up on a farm loving animals. I currently have two dogs myself and just love the opportunity to make a pet’s day part of my day. I do work a full time job currently but have plenty of time in the evening to drop in on your pet. Eventually, I’m hoping to make this more of a full time schedule. I can easily crate your dog if needed. I’m happy to let them out, take them for walks, spend time for snuggles or play and even feed them a meal if necessary.

About: I’ve owned at minimum one dog my entire life. Currently don’t have a dog in my household, would love to host yours. They’ll receive many walks, a fenced in yard, and lots of love. I work from home twice a week and I’m never gone from home for more than 4-5 hours at a time each day. I have a flexible schedule that will allow me to provide your dog ample attention. I have a fairly large, secluded, fenced in yard that will allow your dog to spend time outside if that’s what they desire. I regularly go on multiple walks a day and will absolutely bring your pup with. Animals are welcome on all furniture in the house

“Hannah was amazing with our cats! She treated them like they were her own and took such great care of them while we were away. She even fixed our litter robot when it stopped working and cleaned up a plant the cats knocked over. It was such a relief knowing they were in such good hands. I highly, highly recommend Hannah to anyone looking for a caring and reliable cat sitter!”

About: I’ve been an animal lover for as long as I can remember. Growing up, I always loved being around pets, and that passion has stayed with me into adulthood. Over the years, I’ve pet sat for friends and family, caring for their furry family members as if they were my own. I truly enjoy spending time with animals, whether that means going for walks, playing, giving lots of affection, or simply keeping them company. I’ve missed pet sitting and am excited to get back to doing something I genuinely love. My goal is to make sure every pet feels safe, happy, and well cared for while their owner is away. If you're looking for someone dependable, compassionate, and who will treat your pets like family, I'd love the opportunity to help. I am currently working full time in a position that works from home. I have flexible hours and would be available most of the day for drop ins. I have two cats of my own that I love with my WHOLE heart. Currently looking to do drop ins as my babies aren’t super comfortable around other pets.

“William is a wonderful and very friendly pet sitter. He came to visit prior to the job and do a meet and greet. I was impressed with all his zoo background work and you can tell he loves animals. My cats were happy and he sent me a picture to update how they were doing. He followed instructions, and was prompt. I will be using his services again for sure. Highly recommend.”

About: I’ve been caring for dogs and cats my whole life, and now I have a little crew of my own that I absolutely adore. I’m happy to reinforce the training and commands you’re already working on, and I believe in keeping pets not just cared for, but engaged. Mental stimulation is just as important as meeting their basic needs, so I aim to make every visit enriching, fun, and comforting for both dogs and cats alike. My schedule is very flexible. Your pet is my priority! I am available for home visits and walks, morning, daytime and evening. I am not currently boarding. I am happy to play with, walk, work on training, or just snuggle with your pal. From meds at lunch to just breaking up the day with a visit, your pet is in great hands.

Katt was great with our animals, and I really appreciate her being able to accommodate our last-minute booking when our other pet-sitter backed out. Our animals warmed up to her quickly at the meet-up. Even our shy dog and aloof cat thought she was their new best friend, and the other two were smitten immediately. I appreciated the pictures she sent, and the timelines of her visit. I’ve already recommended her to a friend!

Eric was amazing. My cats fell in love with him right away. He provided detailed updates with tons of cute pictures so I knew they were in good hands. He was incredibly accommodating to my requests on times, feeding schedules etc. My cats are messy and when I came home there was absolutely nothing out of place, so I know Eric went above and beyond to make sure our arrival back home was stress free. I will definitely be booking him again.

We were truly lucky to have Dawn as our cat sitter for nine days while we were traveling outside of the US. From the very beginning, it was clear that she genuinely cared for Boogie and Ollie and treated them as if they were her own. She followed all of our detailed instructions carefully and kept us updated, which gave us great peace of mind while we were away. I know it can be challenging to care for pets in someone else's home, especially when there are many little routines and preferences to remember, but Dawn did a fantastic job. Our cats were happy, comfortable, and well cared for when we returned home. We sincerely appreciate her help, professionalism, and the kindness she showed to our cats. We would gladly trust her with Boogie and Ollie again and highly recommend her to anyone looking for a reliable and caring pet sitter.

FAQs for Cat Sitting - Windsor Heights

Frequently asked questions about Rover

The average cost of Cat Sitting in Windsor Heights is $20 per visit as of November 2026. Most bookings cost between $14 and $28 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 157 sitters on Rover offering Cat Sitting across Windsor Heights. 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.

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

  • 95% 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 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.
