Cat sitters who come to your home for feeding, litter and play visits, stay overnight, or board your cat in a quiet home of their own. Cats do better in familiar surroundings, so most owners book once- or twice-daily drop-in visits.
Pick a sitter who accepts cats, choose drop-in visits, house sitting or boarding, and send a request with your dates and your cat's routine. You pay in the app once the sitter accepts and get a photo update after each visit.
Sitters set their own rates. Across SitterNation, cat sitting starts at $12 per visit; the median is $25 and most sitters charge between $20 and $30 per visit (as of October 2026, 38 sitters). Owners pay an 11% service fee capped at $50 per booking, and sitters keep 100% of their rate.

Yes. Every SitterNation sitter completes identity verification, a safety course with a quiz, and a profile review by the SitterNation team before they can accept bookings. Reviews come from pet owners after completed bookings.
Not yet. You send a booking request with your dates; the sitter accepts (most offer a meet-and-greet first) and you pay securely in the app. Our sitters are in the Chicago suburbs today, and we are expanding to new metros.
