“Ireland was so wonderful with all 4 of our cats and even helped with housesitting, like bringing in trash. We felt so comfortable with her immediately and can’t thank her enough for her hard work. She sent 20+ pictures every visit and gave a thorough report on each kitty. The kitties loved her!”

“As someone who loves their cats and plans on going into the animal health field, I am very picky about who I choose to watch over my cats, and I’m very glad I choose Beth. She did an amazing job with the cats and generally caring for our home, and I will absolutely be rebooking for future visits. What impresses me the most is her ability to understand each cats individual needs, and how well she was able to understand both of their unique personalities. I hate leaving my babies behind while I’m away, but it felt good to relax knowing my cats were in good hands!”

About: I know how important it is to have someone you trust caring for your dog while you’re away. My goal is to make your pup feel safe, comfortable, and loved while giving you peace of mind with regular updates and photos. I’ve cared for dogs for friends, family, and others and am comfortable with feeding routines, walks, playtime, potty breaks, and lots of attention. I take the time to learn each dog’s personality and routine so their stay feels as familiar and stress-free as possible. I love offering a meet-and-greet before confirming a booking so your dog has a chance to get familiar with me in a comfortable, low-pressure setting. This also gives us an opportunity to discuss your dog’s unique needs, temperament, routines, and any special considerations to help ensure they feel safe, happy, and well cared for during their stay. I work full time, but when I’m not at work I’m usually home and have plenty of time to give your pup lots of love and attention. My daughter and I love spending time outside, going on walks, and playing in our large yard, so your dog can enjoy plenty of activity and playtime with us. I have a large yard with plenty of space for dogs to play and get outside. I’ll treat your pup like part of the family and make sure they feel safe, comfortable, and loved while in my care. I’m happy to follow your dog’s normal feeding, walking, and potty routine, and my daughter and I will give them plenty of attention, playtime, and cuddles.

About: I’ve been caring for pets for friends and family for the past two years, providing reliable and loving care for both dogs and cats of all ages. I genuinely enjoy spending time with the animals and have always been able to build strong trusting relationships with them. What sets me apart is my patience, attentiveness, and commitment to maintaining each pets routine so they feel comfortable and secure while their owners are away. I understand that every pet has a unique personality and I take the time to get to know their individual needs throughout my pet and experience. I’ve had no issues or problems and have consistently provided safe dependable care that owners can trust. I work a part time job at a coffee shop so I have plenty of time to play and care for your pups or kitties! I make time each day for feeding, walks, playtime, and giving pets the attention and care they need. Over the past two years I’ve cared for dogs and cats for friends and family so I’m comfortable managing different schedules, energy levels and personalities. I enjoy spending time with animals and can easily incorporate pet care into my weekly routine while ensuring each pet receives reliable attentive care. I follow each pets normal routine as closely as possible, including feeding schedules, walks, playtime, medications, and any special instructions. I ensure the home remains secure and that the pets are always supervised and safe. I love building trust with both pets and their owners. It is very important to me so I provide reliable care, clear communication, and give regular updates. My goal is to create a calm familiar environment where pets feel comfortable and well cared for while their owners our way.

“Emily was great with our two cats! I have one super social kitty and one not so social kitty and both completely hit it off with her. We also scheduled everything very last minute and on a holiday to boot, but Emily made it incredibly easy to plan and took a lot of the stress out of the evening for us. We will be in contact again as necessary - and thank you SO much Emily!!”

About: I’ve taken care of animals since I was 10 and have had animals my whole life. I have volunteered at many shelters and fostered previously. I have experience with older, shy, more understanding needed animals. We are used to training puppies so can keep up with any needed continued care. I work from home and am able to give my full attention to your fur baby. I can move my breaks around for bathroom or attention breaks. My 5 year old GoldenDoodle will keep them company all day, as well. We have a fenced in yard and will keep your animal safe and loved. During walks if desired we have a fully sidewalked neighborhood. We have couch covers for the dogs to be able to get on the furniture if desired. If coming to your home I will leave everything as you left it, with the exception of your animal feeling relieved and loved.

About: I have been pet sitting for my local community for about 4 years. I also volunteer at an organization that raises and trains service dogs, and had a full time foster this past year. I have owned cats and dogs my whole life! Having a foster this past year, I quickly adjusted to making each day around the pup, incorporating his needs into my daily life and ensuring he was happy and healthy! In my home and the clients home, the pets needs come first. If there is a rule to follow or question to ask, I communicate directly to the owner to ensure proper care of their furry friend.

About: I have a huge heart for animals and love to tend to their needs. I have experience with cats and dogs as well as exotics. I make my own schedule so it would be very easy to fit pet sitting into my weekly routine. I can be available most often. My personal animals are spoiled rotten. I believe in treating another person’s fur baby the same as my own, with attentive love and care and pets. Lots of walks and treats.

About: I have had my own pets since I was a kid! My family has two wonderful dogs who we got as puppies. I spent a lot of time learning how to care for and train puppies and now even in college I consistently drive home to dog sit for my parents while they are out of town. I also have experience watching a large number of dogs, caring for deaf dogs, feeding, administering medications, walking, and more. I understand the need for someone with attention to detail and a big heart as leaving your fur babies in the hands of someone else is never easy. I am always more than willing to help out and learn how to best care of your animals! I currently have a part time job at a coffee shop which leaves me plenty of time for pet care! I should have a consistent schedule which will make it easy to schedule in times/longer stays. I take great care to make sure your pets remain safe and happy when I am sitting for any family. I make sure I know what the pets can do while I am around and also what their limitations are. I have a great eye for detail and will make sure your pets are fed/given medicine on time, let out/walked when needed, and make sure they receive the love and attention they need. I tend to keep notes on me just to make sure I am not missing any little notes about what your pets prefer.

About: With a degree in psychology and public health, I bring a unique blend of clinical observation, medical literacy, and deep empathy to pet care. My experience spans 15 years of senior dog palliative care (including kidney disease management), chronic heart condition monitoring, and rescue rehabilitation. I practice a strictly non-punitive, preventative approach—reading subtle physical and behavioral cues to address root causes of stress rather than symptoms. Whether managing complex medication schedules, supporting anxious rescues, or caring for reptiles, I treat every animal with proactive, unconditional, and attentive care designed to help them thrive. My schedule is structured to offer dedicated, high-attention and present care. I am regularly available for weekend house sitting & extended stays, with flexible availability for weekday evening drop-ins and walks. Because I manage my booking calendar proactively, I only accept clients when I can be fully present and attentive to their pet's routine. I keep my availability up-to-date on my profile so you can always book with confidence. To ensure complete safety and individual focus, I do not host pets in my home. In your home, I provide a patient, peaceful, and fully present environment prioritizing your pet's needs without digital distractions outside of regular updates. I am expert at reading body language, respecting boundaries, and maintaining non-punitive, calm routines. I encourage home cameras for your peace of mind and provide thorough photo/video updates. Neighborhood walks are tailored strictly to comfortable, permitted areas at your pet’s natural pace.

“Peanut was a life saver. We have just had the most chaotic and stressful move ever. He took care of our gems for a month instead of the original week. We were so grateful to not have to keep moving them around. Flash has separation anxiety and Gremlin lost his only known "mom" cat in Nov.”

My family is new to the area and had to find a new sitter for our two cats, after having had the same sitter for many years. Annika took excellent care of our cats - sending updates regularly that showed they were getting lots of attention and play while we were gone. The updates showed a lot of attentiveness and we felt reassured our cats (and home) were in good hands while gone. So happy to now have a new permanent sitter when we are gone!

My dog thinks she’s amazing. But she even got the evil cat to come out to her! This does not often happen. Grace took some of the cutest pictures and was very communicative with us about our fur babies. We really appreciate her.

Emily helped me transport my cats after surgery, and she was absolutely wonderful! She was incredibly punctual, gentle, and took great care of my cats throughout the entire ride. Sending your pets with someone can be stressful, but Emily’s communication made me feel completely at ease. I highly recommend her to anyone looking for a reliable and caring sitter!

FAQs for Cat Sitting - Alpha

Frequently asked questions about Rover

The average cost of Cat Sitting in Alpha is $21 per visit as of November 2026. Most bookings cost between $17 and $32 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 187 sitters on Rover offering Cat Sitting across Alpha. 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 Alpha. On Rover:

  • 93% of sitters can help with special care needs
  • 96% can help with giving oral medications or injections
  • 92% 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.
