Keira was absolutely amazing with our 14 week old Aussiedoodle puppy, Lily. She is very experienced and offered ideas on how to adjust to a rambunctious new addition in our home. Keira was an excellent communicator throughout these past two weeks, never hesitating to reach out if she had any questions or suggestions. We look forward to continuing to use Keira as Lily has grown so fond of her.

About: I’ve been pet sitting for family and friends since 2019. Never having a fur baby of my one, I give as many belly rubs to the ones I care for to make up for it! Since I WFH, my schedule is very flexible. It’s the perfect set up for midday walks and all day belly rubs! Having a car also allows flexibility so I’m available in various locations. I care for pets by going where they’re most comfortable. I’m happy to go to your home and give your pets the love they deserve while you get the vacay you need!

About: I have recently started sitting dogs despite having them for years as a child. I didn't gain much experience as I was young; however, I am comfortable with playing with, feeding, bathing, walking, and administering oral medicine to dogs via treats! 😂 I absolutely love animals and am more than willing to help take care of them in any way I can! I would love to take care of your animals at any time however I run a packed schedule!! I coach volleyball at a local high school in the afternoons so please message me to see if I can properly suit your needs! I am very respectful of people's privacy and property. In a client's home I stay in the designated living area unless given prior permission to enter other areas of the house. I am more than willing to walk and play with your dogs or simply keep them company! Please let me know if your pet has certain walking paths, feeding procedures, or care needs so I can offer them maximum comfort!

Michelle did an excellent job taking care of my pets. I would definitely have her take care of them again. She shared lots of pictures and walked my buddy and even did my dishes.

If you’re looking for an incredibly detail oriented, pet obsessed, dependable sitter - you can stop here, Nicoleia your girl. She did everything I asked to take care of my super senior cat, Simba, and wrote super detailed follow ups with tons of photos every single day. She even went above and beyond and noticed it was trash day and took my bins out without me asking. I’m super grateful to have found her - my cat gets upset every time I leave and usually lets me know by making all sorts of messes - Nicole is the first pet sitter I’ve had that he’s immediately loved so much that I don’t even have to worry about that. An actual pet whisperer, I finally have found someone that makes me not have to worry about my babies while I’m gone 🥹

I was concerned about leaving the Aussie Posse with a stranger since they are absolutely not used to being around unfamiliar people and the standard size Aussie has designated himself as the house protector. To my delight Olivia handled the situation perfectly. She greeted him calmly and then basically ignored him until he and the others calmed down. The second day went better. And by day 3 they were practically old friends. One of my other dogs is shy and didn't want to eat. She changed his feeding location in order to give him space, and pretty much ignored him for a couple days. By the end of her time with us he was finishing his meal and even playing ball with her in the yard. We are extremely happy with the service she provided, would definitely hire her again and would strongly recommend her to others in need of pet sitting services. She's the BEST!!

About: I’ve been caring for animals for as long as I can remember, and I truly enjoy working with pets of all kinds. My experience goes far beyond dogs and cats. I have cared for lizards, fed tortoises, maintained freshwater aquariums, and cared for fish. I especially enjoy creating healthy, natural aquarium environments. Give me instructions, and they’ll be followed. I also have experience caring for chickens. With dogs and cats, I’ve raised entire litters of both puppies and kittens, and I’m currently raising a kitten of my own. I have four dogs at home (three Pomeranians and one Chihuahua) and grew up with Labrador Retrievers, so I’m comfortable with both small and large breeds. I also grew up with many cats and am very comfortable caring for them. In addition to caring for my own animals, I have three years of dog walking experience. Whether your pet has fur, feathers, fins, or scales, I understand that every animal has unique needs and deserves patient, attentive care. My goal is always to make your pets feel safe, comfortable, and loved while you’re away! 💚 I currently work part-time, which gives me plenty of flexibility to care for your pets. I’m available most evenings and all weekend, making it easy to accommodate walks and pet sitting. I’ll always communicate clearly about my availability and make sure your pet receives the time, attention, and care they deserve. I treat every home with the same respect and care I would expect for my own. I carefully follow each pet’s routine, including feeding schedules, walks, playtime, medications (if needed), and any special instructions you provide. I know that keeping a familiar routine helps pets feel comfortable and secure while you’re away. I’ll also make sure your pet receives plenty of attention, affection, and enrichment based on their personality and needs. 💚

About: I am capable of handling dogs of many different sizes and ages. I have a 1/2 acre fenced in property where dogs can either run around freely or be kept on a least. At my home your pet receives near round-the-clock supervision since I am a stay at home parent My schedule is dedicated to pets nearly 100% of the time since I am a stay at home mother. I have three dogs of my own of varying sizes and ages, all with different needs that I maintain as part of my daily routine. I have a 1/2 acre fenced in yard so your dog can run free (though I am happy to keep him on a leash if you are more comfortable). Dogs in my home are generally allowed to climb on furniture or sleep in the bed, but I also have crates available for dogs that may prefer to sleep in one. I have baby gates throughout my home to separate dogs as needed (for example a gate between carpeted and hard floors for dogs who might have potty problems)

About: Have taken care of and owned dogs all my life as well as been partnering with another pet sitting business to take in overflow. No kid home, safe and secure for your pet. Open to special requests such as if you want your dog walked at a park once a day, or kept separate from any other animals, etc. also if you’d like daily or multidaily updates and photos that can be requested. I work from home as a tailor so I’m home most of the day, no long hours away. I live alone so no extra people or strangers will be in the house or going in and out throughout the day. Close to Colonial animal hospital and Blue pearl incase of any emergency. I have a 6 foot fenced yard and a friendly small dog that is happy to play with a new friend. If your pet sleeps in bed at night I’d be happy to accommodate or if they’re crated at night I can also do so for you. I try to follow the same rules they live by at home including if they’re allowed on furniture, how they’re fed, etc.

About: I grew up with dogs at home so caring for them feels second nature. I’ve learned to read their moods, know when they need a walk versus a nap, and to keep a calm but enjoyable presence. I’m comfortable with dogs of any size or energy level, from chill seniors to super energetic puppies. I treat every pet like my own. ❤️ I work as a server, so my schedule shifts week to week rather than following a set routine. But that actually works in my favor for pet care. My days off are usually Wednesday and Thursday, and outside of shifts I have plenty of flexible time to check in, walk, and play. I’m happy to work around your pet’s needs rather than the other way around! I don’t have pets of my own right now, which means your dog/cat gets my full attention with no other animals competing for it. I have a fenced yard, so there’s a safe space for off-leash play and bathroom breaks without worrying about them wandering off. I treat every home and every pet with the same care and respect I’d want for my own.

Our dog care arrangements fell through 3 days before we were leaving for vacation. We knew that she wouldn't do well in a boarding situation. We met Brianna and she was a good fit. Our dog Alma really liked her during our meet and greet. We felt comfortable leaving her at home with Brianna doing drop in visits. We arrived home last night to a happy dog. Receiving the visit updates reassured us that Alma was in good hands. We definitely will use Brianna again

About: I grew up on a 60 acre ranch in Oregon. Horses, cattle, dogs, cats, birds, pigs, ducks, geese, chickens, goats, and fish as pets. I've had a dog, cat and bird that grew up together and ate, slept and played together. Raised ducks and gesse that followed me wherever I went. Raised birds to talk and whistle songs. Had fish trained to eat from my hand and let me pet them. I've had as many as 6 dogs at one time of different and/or mixed breeds. I've had as many as 10 cats at one time, always with one that I was 'his person'. I will play with your pets, sit with and comfort them, whatever they need that day. I know what its like to leave my dog in someone else's care and I assure you may rest easy knowing they are in good hands. My dog is part of our family. We do everything together whenever possible. We have a 1/4 acre fully fenced just for our 2 yr old and our dogs to run and play safely. It is difficult to leave him home when we want to go somewhere, so I know how it feels to be worried about leaving him in someone else's care. I like playing with dogs, cats and birds. Whatever their needs to make them feel comfortable while you are gone, I'm sure I can accommodate. They miss us when we are gone far more than we probably realize. I will do my best to ease their anxiety and leave them feeling at ease.

About: I graduated from FAMU with a bachelor’s in Animal Science and am a vet technician so you can say that i truly do have a passion for animals. I’ve always loved and have been known for loving animals for as long as I can remember. I grew up with lots of animals and pets. I’ve had 5 dogs, including the 4 year old Australian Shepherds I currently have. I also used to have too many to remember amount of cats. Pet care fits very easily into my daily schedule.

I’m also flexible with timing and can adjust my schedule based on the pet’s normal routine. I am a vet technician so I have experience in medically caring for animals and noticing when something is off. I treat every pet like they’re my own!

Frequently asked questions about Rover

The average cost for Cat Sitting in Alva on Rover is $19.98 per visit (as of August 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 August 2026, there are 644 sitters on Rover offering Cat Sitting across Alva. 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 Alva. On Rover:

  • 94% of sitters can help with special care needs
  • 96% can help with giving oral medications or injections
  • 100% 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.
