“Alana did such a fantastic job with our 2 kitties. She was always on time, and sent pictures and an update every single evening after she finished her visit. When an unexpected issue popped up with one of our cat's automatic daytime feeders, she handled it and sent a report so we would be aware of what occurred but also reassured that everything was back to normal. She remembered every single "extra" detail...and we all have them as pet parents, don't we? 😊 I would absolutely request Alana in the future to care for our babies. If you're on the fence, let this review be the one that confirms it. Alana is the right choice!”
“Charlotte took very good care of my cat and followed all instructions I gave her. She always let me know with a text and a picture when she finished her visit! This was comforting to me.”
“Sara took amazing care of my cats well while I was out of town on a last minute trip. She sent communications regularly with photos of my fur babies and asked questions to make sure my older cat (17 and takes meds twice a day) was cared for well. They seemed to like her! I came back and both cats were so chill, not distressed at all that I’d been gone.”
“Christina was amazing! My cat, Cece, loved her. Cece normally never comes out for anyone when we are gone but she came out for Christina and got some pets and love almost every day we were gone. Clearly she was very comfortable with her and felt safe. She even went and picked up a package for me at the leasing office because it needed to be refrigerated and came earlier than expected. Will definitely be using her in the future.”
About: hiii! I was an animal shelter volunteer for a little over 7 years! I am very comfortable around all types of animals, poop etc. doesn’t bother me either! I think a person watching your animals shouldn’t just “watch” them but spend quality time with them! It can be scary for animals being left with an unfamiliar face so making the experience as enjoyable as possible ensures that they will be more comfortable next time! i also already go to the dog park every other day and sometimes every day! we absolutely love going (me and my dog sookie)!! I am a college student but thankfully all my classes are online! I don’t typically prefer weekends but if needed then I will be there! I am free 90% of the time! For the cats I have plenty of scratch posts and things they can play with. I also have cats of my own they love making friends! For dogs, I have a crate and large backyard with a lead post! they are allowed on couches and the bed if they want to go that route! Animals will show clear signs of discomfort and my responsibility is to listen and adhere to that
About: I have animal experience in a shelter setting and in a medical setting. I’m currently working at a veterinary office as a kennel attendant. I’m also able to administer medications orally or via injections. I work from 8-6, but I get a two hour lunch. I’m able to drop in and check on animals in the mornings, on my lunch break and after work. I’m always mindful of an animals mood and try to adjust accordingly. If there’s treats, toys or routine that make an animal comfortable the that’s what I try to follow.
“Rachel and Justin did a great job taking care of our boys! I’m not even sure they missed us while we were away. They were even able to get our shy old man to play which is quite the feat. Usually house sitters don’t even see him. I will definitely be using them again the next time we go out of town! Thank you guys!”
About: My family has spent a lifetime caring for and loving pets of all kinds, from energetic new puppies and kittens to cherished senior companions. Big or small, feathered, furry or fluffy, they are always treated as family. Our own dogs are trained using German commands, and even our cat is leash-trained, reflecting the time, patience, and care we invest in animal companionship. I understand how important your pets’ health, safety, and happiness are, and I recognize that busy schedules can make it challenging to give them the attention they need. It would be my privilege to provide dependable, compassionate care for your beloved pets and to treat them with the same love and respect I give my own. I am a homeschool mom of two independent children and many fur babies including two dogs, three cats, and a few extras. I am also a youth pastor so my schedule is flexible and late nights not a problem. I have a safe fenced yard and lots of furry companions; however, I will not be sitting animals in my home as I prefer this space to stay limited to my own.
“Trevor was wonderful and such a life saver!! We needed someone to watch our fur babies last minute and he was available. He was was timely and communicative. Super nice. Will definitely book with Trevor again!”
About: I honestly enjoy dogs and cats more than most people, sorry not sorry 😆. There’s just something about the trusting love of an animal that brings joy to life/my world. I’ve been a dog owner for over 15 years, first to my sweet Charlie - no longer with us; and now to our foster fail Maya. Charlie was a border collie who never ran out of energy. Like, ever 😆. Maya is a more settled gal, but she still loves a good walk/hike as long as a nap comes afterwards. I’ve also been a cat mom, and cat foster mom for over 20 years. Our Sophie & Evie keep us on our toes requesting frequent snuggles, play time, treats, and nap time in our laps 💜🐾 If it’s not already evident, I firmly believe: pets are family, and pets have rights to autonomy/boundaries with people and other animals. I fully expect pet owners to have the same standards of care for selecting someone to help with their pet as I believe they’d use to choose a babysitter for their human kiddos. I happily respect and help maintain people’s rules for their pets (but all y’all that say they can’t get on the couch need an intervention 🙃😉 I’m just saying). Let’s chat about how to help your pets live their best lives when you can’t be with them - whether that’s walks, stop in visits, boarding in my home or other care needs. I work from home and have a fair amount of flexibility in my schedule. I’m able to do drop in visits to feed, administer meds, let dogs out, attend to cat boxes etc. and during my visits I will also provide a bit of attention and interaction for your pets if they desire it - I’m not just a run in and run back out sitter ☺️ I provide in home boarding and doggy day care at my home, where they have access to our fully fenced backyard for potty visits and playtime (weather safety dependent). I will probably only offer cat care visits to your home, as I have our 2 girls here full time as well as often having a foster kitten/cat or 2. I will be happy to cater a care plan that best suits your requirements and your cat’s needs.
About: I am very versatile in the field of dog sitting! I’ve dog sat for owners who have puppies up to 110 pounds dogs! I definitely love em all :)!! I work a part time job usually in the evenings! I am a teacher during the school year :)! Right now, my other job is typically 4 pm-10pm. I care for each dog as if it’s my own! They all have a special place in my heart :)! But I care for each pet exactly how the owner asks!
“Evelyn has been great with our older dog and our new rambunctious puppy. She has been flexible and capable with our plans and needs. I am already using her again. And she knows dogs and cares about how they are doing. Etc! She is a cat person too.”

“First time using rover, and I didnt have to worry about my pups at all while I was gone. She took great care of my them! She sent updates and photos and let me know of anything concerning, which I appreciate. She even dripped my faucets while I was gone, and I didnt even ask or think about that! I try not to leave my pups home alone, but if I ever have to, I'd happily trust her again! Thanks Haven!”

Cat parents share their Rover experiences - Alabaster
Jessie was amazing!! She was very dependable and took great care of our cat, Luna, while were on vacation. Our shy cat warmed up to her very quickly and was happy to see Jessie each day. We loved that Jessie sent us pictures and videos with daily updates. I could tell that Luna was in great hands and much less stressed. Jessie treated Luna just like her own fur baby and gave her all the love and attention she is used to getting while we are home. Overall, this was such a great experience, and I would recommend Jessie to anyone. We will definitely book again next time.
Meradith was absolutely wonderful with my cat while my husband and I went on our honeymoon! We got photos and an update every day and I knew he was in great hands. She went above and beyond! She will ABSOLUTELY be my first ask any time I need a sitter in the future.

The average cost of Cat Sitting in Alabaster is $22 per visit as of November 2026. Most bookings cost between $17 and $26 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.

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.

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.
