Brie does an excellent job watching our cats, chickens, fish, and lizard! She provides consistent updates and takes the time to track down our shy cats from their numerous hiding spots. Brie is very conscientious about giving medication and has an excellent understanding of animals.

Emma was amazing. She was able to help me with very little notice. She was attentive & very communicative. I felt super comfortable leaving my fur baby with her and I will definitely book with her in the future.

We had a great experience with our drop-in visits! Communication was excellent, our dog was well cared for, and we really appreciated the updates and photos. It gave us peace of mind knowing our pup was in good hands. We’d absolutely book again.

About: My family has had dogs since before I was born! I’ve been around dogs my entire life, and know how to take care of fur babies of all ages :) Almost four years ago I adopted my first cat. Fast forward to today, I am now a mother of two orange special needs kitties. They are my world 🌎 ❤️🐾 I currently work part time and go to school on Tuesdays and Thursdays. On school days, class starts at 9 and I will have an hour and a half between classes to let a pet out to go to the bathroom, feed them, or give them medication. Then I have another class from 1-3. After that, I will be totally free to assist any pets. I also work part time 3-4 days when I do not have school. These are usually 6-8 hour shifts, but I can adjust feedings/walking/medication administration around these times. And when in doubt, I have several well regarded Rover friends that are willing to help out on my longer shifts, with client approval. :-) I have space to keep a crate for overnight visits and live in an apartment complex with some green space to walk and explore. I am also only a few minutes away from five different parks, so lots of options to check out. I have two cats that are dog friendly, but can be separated if the dog is not cat friendly !

About: I’ve cared for my own dogs for years now and have worked at a dog boarding and daycare facility for 4 1/2 years. My neighbors always come to me when they need someone to take after their dogs. I’ve had experience feeding, giving medication, and training I currently work full time and usually get off early so I’ll have lots of time to care for your pups! I’m free most weekends and after 3 most days I’m not looking to provide home services at my home currently because I’m currently still living with my parents. Hopefully in the future that will be a paw-sability for me

About: I am a dog owner myself, having dogs throughout my whole life. I love any and all dogs and would love an opportunity to meet yours. I’ve had past experience watching both dogs and cats, where I’ve stayed overnight, fed, walked, and cared for pets in various ways. I also have reliable transportation and am willing to accommodate any needs necessary. I am eager to learn anything that will help your pet feel safer and happier while caring for them! I’m free throughout most days this summer, so my attention can be fully on your pets! Other than occasional trips/errands out, I can stay as long as you need with your fur babies! I’m very comfortable doing anything you need within your home for your pets! I can crate if needed, and I love walking if that’s something you’d like your pet to experience.

About: I’ve been taken care of pets since I was 13. Neighbors, friends, and family have relied on me to feed, walk, play, and love on their pets. I also love to volunteer at animal shelters in my free time. I am currently a full time student, so I will have plenty of time before, in between and after classes to feed, walk, play, and love in your animals. I am also available in the evenings and weekends as well. I have a big secluded yard and one friendly dog to keep your fur baby company. I also live in a safe neighborhood to walk pets in.

About: I have had dogs since I was 7. I have experience with dogs with allergies and seizure disorders. I also volunteer at an animal shelter. I have had cats for the last 13 years and care for a friend's cats when they are away. I have availability late afternoon and evenings on weekdays and am fairly flexible on the weekends. I have a dog and 2 cats of my own that are cared for daily. I would be able to drop in and feed cats or dogs as needed. I could also let dogs out into a fenced area or take on a leash if your yard is not fenced.

About: I absolutely adore animals and have never lived a life without them. I adopted my very own sweet dog Sage at 18 (as soon as I was old enough) and she has been the light of my life. She has taught me a lot of patience and responsibility at a young age. She is definitely a wild girl but I wouldn’t trade her for the world! Since I have a dog I am pretty used to all of the craziness that comes with them like leash pulling, weird eating habits, mess, and of course slobber! I currently nanny from 9:00-5:00 Tuesday through Thursday so I am try to find something to fill that Friday-Monday gap! As I spend those days walking and caring for my own pup I figured I might as well look to see if I can help others! I am a very alert person when it comes to my dog as she is very shy and scared around certain things so I would have course be the same with anyone else’s dog! I would never want to put someone else’s baby in harms way so I am very cautious.

About: As a dog mom, I understand that every pet has their own personality and needs. I have experience with senior care, daily medications, anxious pups, and high-energy dogs who need extra playtime and attention. I treat every pet like family, and my goal is to make them feel safe, loved, and comfortable while you’re away. Whether it’s walks, cuddles, or consistent routines, I’ve got you covered. For boarding services, I kindly ask that pets be housebroken/house trained to ensure a clean and comfortable stay for everyone. Pet care is a natural part of my daily routine! I can be up early for walks, playtime, and feedings. Having a very flexible work schedule, I’m available throughout the day for potty breaks, snuggles, or check-ins. Whether it’s a weekend stay or midday walk, I’m happy to work around your pet’s needs and routine. Your pet’s safety and comfort are my top priorities. I have a pet-friendly home with a fully fenced-in yard for safe outdoor play. I share my home with a sweet, well-socialized dog who loves having furry friends around. I always follow the pet’s routine as closely as possible and provide constant supervision during playtime and feedings. I create a calm, clean, and loving environment where your pet can relax and feel secure.

About: I’ve been around dogs my whole life and have always been told I have a “way with animals.” I have cared for small, medium, and large dogs before. Whether it’s a tiny tea cup dog or a large lab with more energy that they can contain, I’ve seen it all. I’m currently a senior in high school and play club volleyball. I have a part time job but am looking to gain more experience before college. Being a pet sitter and walking fits great for me since it’s a flexible schedule. I already take care of my own dog and cat at home and would love to add more pets to that list. As an athlete I am able to match your pets energy. I’m able to run around with them and throw their toys for as long as they may need it. I’m always down to explore new places on walks in any weather.

About: I’ve had and been surrounded by cats since I was born and I love all animals! Though I’ve never had any dogs of my own, I’ve taken care of many and volunteered at a couple of animal shelters, so I’m ready for any type of pet! I’m currently working part-time but my schedule is very flexible, so just let me know in advance and I’m sure I can help you out! I can take care of your pet at your own house best if I get to know a little bit about you and your pet first! I’m happy to learn!

About: I’ve grown up with dogs. I got my dog in college and have been dedicated to his care no matter what. Through moves and full time jobs, he has always been #1. He is a senior now and needs a little extra attention in regards to mobility, so I am comfortable with that. When he was younger he had BOUNDLESS energy as well and was eager to please. I’ve seen both sides and love them and all the traits in between Pet care is a 24/7 deal. They give us unconditional love so we should always be dedicating ourselves to the same. Daily walks, exercise and for sniffing are both beneficial and also just someone to sit by and patrol the neighborhood I care for pets how their owners would because that’s what will make the dog the most comfortable with a new person in their environment. I will always follow the clients routines and expectations

About: I’ve taken care of many different types of pets throughout my life…I’m aware that all animals are different and need special attention. I will give nothing but unconditional love to your pet! (-: Im currently working on my own interests, any time after 2pm on weekdays would be a great time for me to fulfill your pet care needs. Weekends are free too. I currently have a dog and a cat on five acres of land. My cat doesn’t go outside because of coyotes but my dog is very well behaved and will stay in our property line. Both are fed once a day and I tend to give them treats throughout the day. My dog is getting a bit older so he can’t make it on long walks like he used to but he still has his puppy energy every once in a while (:

Frequently asked questions about Rover

The average cost for Cat Sitting in Alert on Rover is $16.65 per visit (as of July 2026). However, all sitters set their own rates based on experience, location, and availability.

Rover makes budgeting the cost of Cat Sitting easy. As long as your dates and pet profiles are correct, the price you see before you book is the same price you pay for Cat Sitting. For more information on service fees, click here .

As of July 2026, there are 1,050 sitters on Rover offering Cat Sitting across Alert. 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 Alert. On Rover:

  • 95% of sitters can help with special care needs
  • 99% 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.
