“Very personable. I felt comfortable bringing up concerns and any issues I had. My inside cats really liked her which put me at ease leaving them for the first time since adopting them. Plenty of daily pictures. I really like that I can depend on her to feed, play, and clean the litter boxes every day. I feel confident that my kitties are in good hands.”
“Kayla was very sweet. Our dogs were pretty scared being in a new place and not knowing Kayla well. But she took pics and kept me informed. She even checked in to make sure we arrived home and didn't need her to go back over. This my our first Rover experience and Kayla was a good representative!”
About: I own two cats and two dogs, and have been taking care of friends and neighbors pets for years. I am well experienced in cleaning/washing dogs, walking them, and playing/loving on fur babies! I just graduated high school, so I have plenty of time to take of your pets. My schedule is flexible and I look forward to loving on your fur-baby. I provide a safe, calm, and pet-friendly environment where your pet will be treated like family. I make sure pets have plenty of attention, exercise, playtime, and bathroom breaks throughout the day. I’m comfortable following your pet’s regular routine, including feeding schedules, medications, and any special instructions you provide.
“Kayla has been amazing!! I’ve used her for the past 3 months since my puppy was 5 months and she always sent photo updates, was on time, and took great care of my baby. I would definitely recommend her to a friend!!”
About: I have a black lab named Xara who is 12 years old. I've dog sat for many people over the years. I love taking care of animals and just enjoying time with them. I know how hard it is to find someone who can take care of my animal when I need to go out of town or on a short trip. I'd love to be a helping hand I work part time only in the mornings and am home for the remainder of the day. I love outside play and sun bathing. At least my pup does. I offer frequent potty breaks, make sure water is always available and playtime is a must. I will love your pet as my own and hope you will give me the privilege of caring for them. Thank you for your consideration.
“Maggie did not utilize the full time that I paid for. I booked her for 30 minute drop in visits, twice daily. The longest visit was about 24 minutes, with the shortest being only 12 minutes. I feel ripped off because I am paying for a service and didn’t get what I paid for. Also, I am aware our backyard was a bit muddy due to recent rains, and there were some muddy foot prints on the floors when I left, but we came home to large clumps of mud in the house and mud/dirt stains all over our furniture. Our grey couches were brown with dirt and when I gave the dog a bath, we got so much dirt off her feet. Maggie also didn’t use the Rover app regularly for check ins and I only received photos from her a couple times during the 5 days we were gone. She was communicative and friendly until I addressed the short visits with her and then she stopped communicating all together. Unfortunately, I would not book with her again, nor would I recommend her to anyone else.”
“Madeline is the best! She’s extremely professional and caring with our pets. She shows up on time as scheduled or early, she willingly goes beyond (getting deliveries ect…) and our pets immediately trusted her. Highly recommend her!!!”

About: I’ve been working at an animal hospital for almost a year. I’ve worked with all kinds of dogs, cats, and other exotic animals. I’ve also worked with their different sizes, ages, diets, medications, etc. I’ve got a dog and 3 cats currently. I also frequently pet sit for family and friends, often overnight or over the weekend. I love to go on neighborhood walks with my dog to make sure she gets her daily exercise in. Also playing outside and enjoying the nice weather. I’m available to let dogs go on as many potty breaks as they need! For my cats, I love playing with them and seeing all the different toys to make sure they never get bored. I’ve also done my fair share of cleaning, no matter the mess, I’ll clean it up! I am a college student with at most 3 classes a day. I can do early mornings and then evenings/afternoons. During school breaks, I’ll be available all day. There may be the occasional days where I’m busy or out of town, but more likely than not I will be free and not busy. I will most likely ask the pet’s owners what they prefer on things like going outside, for walks, and other daily routines. I will constantly be checking in on the pet and making sure they’re doing okay. If anything were to happen, I would immediately contact the owner to come up with an action plan and see what they would want to do, depending on the situation. I would make sure that the home is safe and that there is nothing that the pet could get into that would hurt them.

I also have had experience caring for a variety of animals my whole life seeing as though my dad is a veterinarian and I have always had a passion for caring for animals! I am currently a student at WKU but I work only part time at the small animal clinic here in Bowling Green so I am always close to town! I can be flexible and find times that I can be there for you and your pet! When caring for any pets whether my own or others I am always gentle, reliable to stay on whatever schedule or tasks you need done for the animal, and knowledgeable of animals basic needs as well as knowing basic first aid and animal cpr!

“She took such good care of my baby boy. Marshall is a very nervous and timid dog, so I knew he would probably be very scared when she came in to let him out, but she took the time to just sit with him and see that he was comfortable before taking him outside. Will definitely use her again!”
“Kayla took great care of my cats. She was always on time, kept me updated with pictures, and was very attentive so they were never alone. I am incredibly grateful to have found such a kind and reliable pet sitter."”
About: I have grown up with dogs my entire life and have my own young puppy. I enjoy taking him on walks and teaching him new tricks everyday, I already want another! But life circumstance won’t allow that right now, so I thought dog sitting would be perfect for me! I just would like to do something I love! My animals only need so much care and attention, so I thought being a pet sitter would be perfect. If it is a cat friendly and other dog friendly dog, I wouldn’t mind at all to pet sit at my house(my puppy loves playmates). Cat care and non-other animal friendly dogs would be at the clients home.
About: I have always had pets growing up as a child and my love for them has grown into my adulthood even more. I have a passion for learning and understanding all different types of animals. My experience in Pet Care is from having my own pets and caring for family, friends and volunteering over the years. I’ll have plenty of time to play with your pups! I’m available on for boarding on weekend, and weekdays after 9am to 7pm for starters and see how it goes… I'd love to help with pet-sitting! But I have three dogs of my own, so I'm unable to stay overnight. However, I'd be happy to do drop-in visits to check on your dogs anytime. I'm available for afternoon visits, or whatever works best for you. Let me know if you'd like me to come by for a visit!

Frequently asked questions about Rover
The average cost of Pet Sitting in Alvaton is $24 per visit as of October 2026. Most bookings cost between $0 and $44 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 October 2026, there are 255 sitters on Rover offering Pet Sitting across Alvaton. Enter your ZIP code to see which available sitters are closest to your home.
You and your sitter can agree on a care schedule that fits your pet’s routine and the sitter’s availability. Pet Sitting can be booked as a one-time or recurring drop-in visit. If you need overnight care or dog walks, you may also be able to book House Sitting or Dog Walking through Rover with the same sitter, provided they offer those services.
Before booking, confirm:
- the timing, length, and frequency of visits;
- the care instructions the sitter should follow;
- which parts of your pet’s usual routine should be prioritized;
- how often you would like to receive messages, photos, or other updates.
Not every sitter offers the same services, availability, or booking options. Review their profile and discuss the care you need through Rover before booking each service.
If you would like updates while you’re away, you can discuss with your sitter how many or how frequent you’d like those updates to be. The Rover app allows sitters to send photos, videos, and messages about your pet, including how many pee or poop breaks occurred. You can message your sitter at any time through the app and our support team is available 24/7 by email or chat if you have concerns.
The personalized, in-home nature of pet care through Rover can mean more individual attention for your pet.
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 .
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 , which provides up to 25,000 in eligible veterinary care reimbursement.

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.
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 .
sitters on Rover set their own , 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.
