“Louann did an great job, it made my vacation all the better knowing my kitties were in good hands. She kept me up to date with pictures. She spent time playing with them which was appreciated. Will definitely reach out again in the future”
About: **Privately Insured for Peace of Mind** I've been pet sitting since childhood for all kinds of pets. My care experience has even involved small mammals, piglets, arthropods, and repitlies. I particularly enjoy working with shy and anxious dogs and cats. As a sitter, I pay attention to the details, such as pet body language and making sure food and water bowls are cleaned, and I am diligent in keeping pets out of potentially dangerous situations. Overnight dog sits include at least one walk a day unless otherwise specified or the weather prevents it, in which case indoor playtime will be had instead. I am comfortable administering medications, including injections. I am avaliable for constant care overnights (no leaving the dog(s) alone) for an additional fee. I am self-employed, so my schedule is extremely flexible and I am avaliable for constant care for an additional rate. Most of my exercise comes from walking dogs, so I am more than happy to take the long route if your pooch is up for it! I am very careful with your pets, avoiding encounters with unfamiliar dogs or people to avoid conflicts. My food is never within reach, and I pride myself on keeping your home clean and ready for your return.
“Leah is a great and caring sitter. I feel relieved leaving my three kitties under her care. Shes a great communicator and goes above and beyond to ensure everything goes well. Thank you!”
“Steven was great with communication during each of his check-ins on our dog. He always took several pictures and was very intentional about bonding with our dog instead of just doing the tasks I had listed for him. We will definitely be using him again.”
“Leah has looked after my two cats several times and has consistently done a fantastic job. I appreciate her prompt responses, thorough descriptions and pictures of the cats while I'm away and genuine caring for their well-being. I highly recommend Leah!”
About: Growing up I had experience with a lot of types of animals, from cats, dogs, sheep, pigs, cows and horses. In my adult life, I have had a lab mix and have had 4 boxers (3 currently still in the home) and a siamese mixed cat. I learned a lot about dog behavior when I got my first boxer through training, and feel like that has helped me with other dogs too. Two of my current boxers are seniors and they take meds so I am familiar with those types of things and my other one is 8 months old so I am currently also in the puppy phases as well. I do have a full-time job. Evenings and weekends are the best time for me on some days. I often work from home later in the week so I can be flexible those days. I am definitely open to chatting about options. I will keep my calendar up to date based on my availability. If your pups are coming to my house, I have a fenced in yard. I do have a pool, but I go outside with all pups for safety reasons. If your dog loves to swim let me know! I also have a quiet neighborhood for a nice leashed walk. I do have a lot of stairs so if you have a senior dog that has mobility issues my house might not be the best option. If they go out on a leash this would be less of an issue b/c I can take them for a walk out front. I crate my puppy when I am gone, and can crate your dog when/if you would like me too. I would like any special instructions about medications/food/behavior etc that are specific to your pets. I would need any specific instructions for your in home stays with your pets.
“I will definitely book Camilla again when I travel! She took great care of my dogs! She provided great updates and pictures for each of her drop in visits! Everything went great!”
“Ray is Great! I use him on repeat for boarding and dropping in. Great Communicator. My pup knows him and loves him. Always 5 Stars! Thanks again Ray for accepting this last booking on short notice!”
“We love having Joy come to see our dogs! And they love her! We will continue to have her come watch our dogs because she is professional, quick to respond, great with our dogs, and always gives us updates!”
“Emma has been a huge blessing and is very reliable. She is someone you can always count on and shows great love to my dog like he’s one of hers. She listens to every little detail to ensure your experience is nothing short of what you expect, and I am very thankful for her.”
“Rachel is a great pet sitter! She is punctual, communicative, thoughtful and thorough. We booked her for a second occasion because we were so happy with her. Very sweet person.”
“Margaret was great! We were completely comfortable leaving our dogs at home with her checking in on them. She communicated well, and sent great pics of the dogs having fun! We definitely recommend and would rebook with her in a heartbeat!”
“Katelynn was responsive and took great care of our cat while we were away! We loved seeing the photos each day and could tell that our cat enjoyed the love and attention.”
About: As someone who has had pets in the home for as long as I can remember, I know it is important for them to be in a loving, patient, and attentive environment and I thrive in providing environments that are such! I work from home and I’m a SAHM, so pet care fits naturally into my daily routine. I have a flexible schedule, which allows me to give pets plenty of attention, playtime, potty breaks, and supervision throughout the day. I have a large fenced in backyard and only two cats inside the home. I make sure that the pets that I care for have enough space of their own but are also attended to closely.
About: Hello! My name is Amber and I live in the Irondale area. I love animals! I know how hard it is to leave your fur babies and you just don’t want to leave them with anyone! I am trustworthy, caring, patient and can give you a worry free experience being away from your fur babies! I have experience with cats and dogs and have worked for WAG in the past. Animals love me! I have owned cats and one dog. I am comfortable around all types and sizes. Let’s schedule a meet and greet! I will be the one and only pet sitter for you! I had a great experience on here and want to provide the same to you. Thank you for reading! Roll Tide! I work a hybrid schedule so I am able to work around your schedule as needed for care. I can also come around lunchtime as needed. I keep my cat indoors so I know how important it is to be careful when opening doors to the outside. I respect leash rules and have a fenced in yard.

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.

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.
