About: Since 2014, I’ve cared for pets of all ages and pawsonalities — from shy kittens to spicy dogs, plus chickens, bunnies, and even a hermit crab. 🐶🐱🐔🐰🐟 Fostering over 200 pets has made me fluent in body language (pet edition). Whether your pet wants snuggles, space, or serious playtime, I tailor each visit to what makes them happiest. I’m comfortable giving medications* and teaching basic obedience. I also make the experience great for you! I’m a reliable communicator, send plenty of cute pics, and if your pet’s up for it, you’ll come home to a handmade surprise “from your pet.” *If medications are required to be given an additional fee will be negotiated and applied before the booking is confirmed. Pet care fits naturally into my routine — it’s something I genuinely enjoy! I’m available mornings, evenings, and weekends, with a flexible schedule that allows me to adapt as needed. I am able to care for about a dozen pets per week and I only book one house-sitting family at a time to ensure each pet gets my full attention. Walks and drop-ins can easily be added into my day, especially Monday through Friday. Pet care is both relaxing and rewarding for me — I love building relationships with the pets I visit, and I think they look forward to our time together just as much as I do! I provide care exclusively in my clients’ homes, starting by learning their pet’s established routine to ensure they feel comfy and happy. I gather all the important info — like vet contacts, emergency numbers, and where cleaning supplies live (just in case!). I’m a tidy sitter too: I take out the trash and scoop up any yard “presents” to keep things fresh. Most importantly, I listen closely to both owner and pet to discover what makes each furry friend feel safe and loved, then tailor my care to their unique personality.

We hope that Danielle can continue to help us out with our dog. She was very responsive to our inquiries and made our first time using Rover a breeze. She took great care of our dog and we felt at ease going away for the weekend knowing Danielle was watching our pup!!

Emily was great, very caring towards our dogs, sent pictures and gave updates every visit. She also kept on the Dog TV channel for them so they had white noise. It was nice to go away for the weekend and not have the stress of a kennel on our senior dogs knowing they were in good hands!

The best sitter we could ask for. Our cat, Bruce, was sick while we were out of town and Bethany went above and beyond to make sure he was comfortable and had everything he needed to feel better. An angel.

Colleen took wonderful care of my cranky cat and aggressive angelfish over the weekend. I felt much better leaving them in her hands rather than leaving them alone for the weekend. Thank you Colleen for the care you gave them.

Alexis took wonderful care of my 2 cats (one needing 3 different medications per day). Kept my mind as ease while away with the family. Will definitely be booking her again for our next vacation. Recommend her to anyone, especially if pet needs specific meds while away.

Aria was on time and communicated quickly and efficiently for both the meet & greet and her first drop in visit with my 7mo puppy. She provided a detailed update at the end of visit and included some of my new favorite photos of my dog! She’s easy to coordinate with and I’ll definitely be booking recurring visits :)

Mason was exceptional. She allowed me to book her literally last minute and said she could visit the pups without me home (emergency work trip). She was prompt and took great care of my pups, asking me any questions she had to best care for them. She sent me plenty of pics and the pups loved her!

About: I have lived with cats and dogs my entire life. Taken care of neighbors’ and co-worker’s pets. Previously worked for a cat vet, so giving medications is not a problem. Recently retired and looking to stay busy! I currently live with three of my own dogs and I’m finding extra free time these days. Recently retired from law enforcement and looking to stay active with dog walking or drop-ins. Looking forward to decompressing and helping those who work long hours not worry about their pets!

About: I've trained (self taught) and cared for furr babies since I was 15 and have had various pets since the age of two! I specialize in caring for canines with separation anxiety and canines with vision issues. I enjoy basic command training (self taught) and giving your pup the extra love and care needed while you're unable to be with them! I’m a professional dog sitter! This is my full time career adventure! Your pup will enjoy leaded walks, controlled environmental play time, and a cozy home (mine or yours) with all the attention your pup could want or need! I do not have a fenced in yard, but your pup will be safely walked with a lead on our two-plus acre lot or on local trails! Controlled environmental play time is offered to pups who are trained to listen off lead!

Mélanie was an absolute pleasure to work with. She was punctual, polite and very attentive and caring for my pet. She gave me plenty of pictures and updates of him during her visit. She listened to all given instructions and I could tell she genuinely cared for my pets happiness and well-being. I will 100% be booking her again.

About: # About Me Hi! I'm Marisa, a veterinarian with a Doctor of Veterinary Medicine (VMD) degree from the University of Pennsylvania and a lifelong animal lover. Caring for animals has been both my profession and my passion for many years. My experience includes working in general and shelter medicine, caring for dogs and cats of all ages, providing medications, monitoring pets with medical conditions, and recognizing subtle signs of illness or discomfort. I also worked as a veterinarian for Guiding Eyes for the Blind, where I helped care for guide dogs throughout their training and working careers. Outside of my professional experience, I've raised a guide dog puppy, volunteered with therapy dogs, and have shared my home with dogs and cats my entire life. I currently have one senior Labrador Retriever and four cats, so I understand that every pet has their own unique personality, routine, and needs. Whether your pet is an energetic puppy, a playful cat, a senior companion, or one who requires medications or a little extra patience, I will care for them as if they were my own. My goal is to make sure your pet feels safe, comfortable, and loved while giving you complete peace of mind. I provide reliable communication, detailed updates, and plenty of photos throughout each visit or stay so you always know how your pet is doing. I look forward to meeting you and your pets and providing the compassionate, knowledgeable care they deserve! Over the past few months, I've been focusing on personal growth while also helping care for my aging parents. This has given me a very flexible schedule throughout the week and on weekends, allowing me to dedicate plenty of time and attention to the pets in my care. Whether it's drop-in visits, walks, or overnight stays, I can be reliable, accommodating, and attentive to each pet's individual routine and needs. I strive to keep each pet's routine as consistent and stress-free as possible while they're in their own home. I'll follow your feeding, walking, medication, and exercise instructions carefully, provide plenty of attention, playtime, and affection, and make sure your pet has fresh water and a clean environment. I'll also send regular updates and photos so you can have peace of mind while you're away. My goal is for your pet to feel safe, comfortable, and well cared for until you return.

Three cheers for Mareena! She took excellent care of my cats for two weeks while we were out of the country. Her calm demeanor really helped them, especially with Tuck who is very shy around strangers. She sent daily updates with pictures and I saw him out and playing with her and JiJi. Mareena was very communicative and responsive to all of my questions and concerns. Will definitely have her back again!

Frequently asked questions about Rover

As of August 2026, there are 1,315 sitters on Rover offering Cat Sitting across Ailston. 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.

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

  • 95% of sitters can help with special care needs
  • 97% 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 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.
