About: I have had dogs my entire life, and have had a cat for 13 years. I have been put in charge several times for taking care of my pets, along with the pets of family friends when they are gone and have never had any problems. I am currently a student at Colorado Mesa University and am an elite athlete (cyclist). I am very flexible with scheduling on my available days! Unfortunately I won’t be able to provide care for your pets at my home, but I am willing to drive anywhere to accommodate to your needs.
About: I've taken care of dogs, cats, chickens, and bunnies for the past ten years! I have experiencing taking care of animals while house sitting for long stretches of time. I love getting outside, walking, and running with dogs! I am reliable, gentle, and love getting to share new connections with animals. It would be so great to take care of your animal babies! I'm currently in grad school but have significant room for walking, dropping in, and overnight stays. My schedule is mostly busy during the days on Tuesday and Thursday, but I have time in the morning, evening, and afternoons. I stick to what each owner/parent prefers. As for my dog, he is really good about recall so we are able to let him run around the backyard without fencing. When we walk on trail he is mostly on leash unless we are in the backcountry. Again, I stick to what each owner prefers for their animal baby!
About: What sets me apart from other sitters is my lifelong experience with dogs, having grown up with them since birth. I’ve also frequently pet-sat for neighbors and friends, handling everything from walks to feeding and cleaning up. I love dogs so much and walk a lot every day and I would love to have a dog to walk as well! I am a senior at San Diego State and am a full-time student but I only go to campus Monday Wednesday and Friday! I have lots of free time in the mornings and late afternoons! When caring for a dog in a client's home, I prioritize safety, trust, and a comfortable environment. I maintain a routine that the dog is familiar with, ensuring their surroundings feel secure and stress-free. I follow any specific care instructions provided by the owner, keeping their home clean and the pet well-fed, exercised, and content. My goal is to create a great experience for both the dog and their owner, providing peace of mind that their pet is in good hands.
“Joanie was just wonderful with our dog, Arlow. She was attentive and responsible and really earned both Arlows and our trust. She is so sweet and reliable and we can’t wait to have her back as our sitter! I really felt like i could sit back and enjoy our vacation knowing Joanie was taking care of our puppers. 🖤 10/10”
“I can't say enough good things about Kristen. She's always prompt, and seems to enjoy visiting my dog. He is very happy when I return home, so I know he's had a good time. Kristen keeps plugging away, trying to increase the length of walks for my reluctant walker. And I really appreciate her quick response when I try to book her...not all the Rover people are good about that.”
About: I am a life long animal lover. I have experience with small dogs, large dogs, cats, ferrets and birds. I own a mini dachshund myself and love handling small dogs. I am also always happy to take your large dog on runs to the park, and throw a ball to their hearts content. I can accommodate any special needs a pet might have, like medication, mobility issues, and old age. I am currently between jobs for the summer and will be available almost every day, all hours of the day for your pet or pets. Client trust and privacy is very important to me. I follow home care instructions very carefully. I double check all doors meant to be locked are before leaving. I put all pet items back into their place, keep things clean, and do not disturb anything.
About: Hi there! I am a firm believer in treating pets like family and showing them nothing but love. My pets can do no wrong in my eyes and I know what it’s like to worry about them when I’m away from home. I am an attentive and caring and have loved having pets my entire life in addition to a few years experience petsitting dogs and cats back in California and Oregon. I also spent time caregiving for the elderly and looking after their pets was a big part of the job. I am open to caring for any type of animal! I am currently a full time student with availability weekday mornings before 9am and afternoons usually after 3:00pm. I can be available anytime throughout the night and full availability on Saturdays and Sundays. I have one sweet older cat living with me in my one bedroom apartment and she’s just a joy to have around. Due to her timid nature, I am unable to bring other pets into my own home for pet sitting but I offer any other service for your pet such as walking, feeding, playing, giving medicine, you name it :)
“Thank goodness for Falecia! She made our last minute holiday trip possible by being so flexible and amazing. She was also there for our cats and reassured me when the Marshall fires had me freaking out from out-of-state. I felt so much better knowing that our cats were in good hands. I would definitely ask her to take care of our cats again and recommend her highly.”
“You couldn’t ask for a more responsible, reliable, and caring dog sitter. As soon as we did a meet & greet, it was clear how good Melissa was with dogs, & our dogs adored her. She sent me pictures & updates all day. I will absolutely be contacting her again for any pet sitting needs.”
“Linnea did a wonderful job taking care of our cats! She was very responsive and flexible. Our cats were calm and well adjusted when we arrived home.”
“Genna took wonderful care of my 2 cats while I was out of the country. She was reliable, communicative, and clearly cared about making sure everything was going well while I was away. It gave me real peace of mind knowing my cats were in such good hands. I would absolutely book with her again and highly recommend her to anyone looking for a thoughtful and dependable sitter.”
About: I understand the responsibility that comes with taking care of your beloved pet and want to be there to support and love on your dog. I pride myself on my compassion, love, and understanding of all pets and their unique needs. I am a college student that loves to work with animals. I have classes during the day but am available in the early mornings, afternoons and evenings to take care of your pets. I am also available on weekends and for overnight care. I understand the concern that may come with leaving your pet with a stranger and take careful consideration in to making sure that doors are closed behind me, safety hazards are removed from the pets reach, and a high level of attentiveness while on walks.
“Allie did a great job taking care of our cat, Henry! We got great updates during every visit, and she was proactive about communicating. It made it easier to relax on vacation knowing that Henry was well cared for! I wouldn’t hesitate having Allie watch Henry again.”
“Maja has come over to check on our dogs while we were at work a few times. One of our two is a high energy husky, and one is an older cattle dog mix. She seemed to be very sweet with both of them when we met her! She sent us picture updates during the visits, and made sure they had water, bathroom breaks, and some attention before she left. She seems very kind and trustworthy. We will be booking with her again in the future!”
“Diana took good care of my catson Benny and was great about communicating updates. I came home from my trip away to find him well and happy! I recommend her services for anyone with cat sitting needs.”
“Sofia was fantastic! She kept us updated on how Alaska was doing. She was also very patient with our anxious dog and made an effort for to help Alaska get used to being around a new person.”

Frequently asked questions about Rover
As of July 2026, there are 4,091 sitters on Rover offering Cat Sitting across Altona. 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.

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.
