About: I have helped train dogs for friends, family and neighbors! Love getting to know other peoples doggies and helping them get their energy out! Can’t wait to meet your puppers! All of my work is freelance work so I would love to fit your pet into my schedule! I book for walks or drop in visits! Safety is my number one priority! When doing drop in visits I make sure your pet is safe and happy! During walks I always use a good grip on the leash and make sure your pet is safe at all times!
“Kay does a great job of letting you know when she arrives and how the entire visit went including pics! Feel confident in having her come again to take care of my pup.”
“Bella was super communicative and helpful and made me feel super comfortable with leaving my dogs with her. She treated all 4 of my dogs like her own and spoke so sweetly to them, cleaned up after them, and asked questions and updated me when necessary. I will definitely be reaching out to her again if I need my puppies watched again, love her :)”
“Abigail was awesome!!!! She did 2 drop in visits a day for a week for my cat and he loved her. He usually takes a little bit to warm up to someone, but by day 2 or 3 he was curled up on her lap in a photo she sent. What a relief! So happy I chose her. She also made sure to visit first, before she accepted, which I couldn’t have been happier about. This way she got to meet me and my cat and get the lay of the land with where everything was. Not everyone on Rover offers that, that’s for sure. She even went above and beyond. I realized that after I left my front door lock was losing power, I was so nervous it was going to go out and there would be no way for her to get in before the week was up, so I told her where everything was and asked if she can change the batteries and she did it immediately. She did such a great job all around! I’ll definitely use her again.”
“I cannot recommend Brittany enough! I have a cat with heart disease that requires a fairly strict medication routine, and I’m very hesitant about leaving him in the care of anyone else. I’m recently moved here from Missouri, and had to travel back this weekend. Brittany took such good care of my cat and it helped me relax and enjoy my time at home. I will definitely be using her again any time that I can in the future.”
“Haley is our go-to pet sitter, and she always does an amazing job! This time was no exception she came by to check on our cat, and as always, she was kind, professional, and communicative. She has checked in on our kitty once before now, and we trust her completely to take great care of our fur baby. Highly recommend her to anyone looking for reliable and caring pet care!”
“Alicia was wonderful in dropping in on our cats while we were gone on vacation. She has good communication and made sure that both cats were doing well in our absence, even taking the time to play with our attention seeking cat. Would recommend!”
About: I've taken care of both cats and dogs since I was 9. Neighbors have relied on me to care for their cat while away for work. Friends have called on me to feed, walk and care for their dog on weekends. And I have worked professionally with dogs, cats and goats since 2017, having also been entrusted with bathing them and giving necessary medication. I'm currently working full time which gives me plenty of time to play with your pups or kitties in the evenings or weekends. I am free most weekdays after 6:30pm and am flexible on weekends. I care for my pets by having adequate food and water always available. I do crate dogs if needed, but follow the lead of the owner. I try to keep a clean space and give lots of love to all pets involved.
About: I have two tiny shorthairs and two eighty five pound labradoodles in my life, so I've got range. To quote a very wise man, "No job is too big; no pup is too small!" I have an extremely flexible schedule. I can make almost anything work. I work most nights from 6:30ish to around 10:00 or 11:00. It would be no problem at all to achieve your needs. I can do whatever is needed to make sure your babies feel safe, comfortable, and loved. I play with them to make sure they get exercise and socialization. I make sure their personal spaces are clean (litter boxes, beds, kennels, etc.). I make sure they don't have any food insecurities, and I make sure they know that someone is there for them when their usual human is gone.
“Meghan has always treated my sweet Lucy like she was her own. I especially like how she leaves me a note telling me how Lucy was and who all she met on their walks. It’s obvious how much she loves animals.”
About: I am 24 years old and I have had all kinds of pets ranging from Rabbits and fish, lizards and lobsters, cats and dogs, lions tigers and bears...well...maybe not those last three! But I have cared for animals my entire life and I am excited to make a career out of it! I am ecstatic to help you establish and maintain and wonderful environment for the furry members of your family! Pet care is a full-time job for me! I can be available five-days a week, until somewhat late into the evening, and my schedule is somewhat flexible when it comes to spending EXTRA time getting fuzzy cuddles ;) I allow pets to decide what we do. If they'd rather lay down and take a nap, I can step back and let them be independent, but if they get the zoomies I am eager to let them get that energy out. I also enjoy using training time as a means of giving and receiving pet attention, making basic training fun and exciting for the pet.
About: I adopted my first dog in 2015 and he’s been with me ever since! I also recently adopted a rescue Beagle who came from a testing lab in east tennessee! I’ve been a dog groomer for a little over year so I have experience with all types of breeds and ages! I currently work full time as a dog groomer with Thursday and Friday off so I’m fully available all day on those 2 days! I’m also available everything afternoon after work! I believe every pet deserves to feel safe, loved, and spoiled! As a full-time dog groomer, I’m experienced reading dog body language and making pets feel comfortable. I’ll stick to your pet’s normal routine, give them plenty of playtime, cuddles, and send lots of photo updates so you know they’re having a great time!
About: I know leaving your fur babies can be scary for both you and for them, believe me..I've been there. I'll do everything possible to make your time away as painless as possible for your family and to help keep your mind at ease by keeping in touch and keeping you updated as much as you like. A little about me: Well, I am an animal lover for sure. I have one quirky poodle named "Fro". He's my sidekick. I am patient and loving and Fro is pretty friendly. I have had either a dog or cat, or both, my entire life and since old enough have provided the primary care for our animals. I like people and children, of course, but I am partial to animals and fiercely protective of them. If you don't like animals, I'm actually a little leery about you! ❤️ I am very flexible and open to your requests and routines. I am home full-time, so again I'm very flexible to the needs of your pets! ***I have recently changed my profile not to host at my home at this time and only offer house sitting and drop-ins, but am still amenable to working out something to meet your needs!*** Other than traveling a few times a year or overlapping sitting jobs, I am generally always available for both daily drop ins and housesitting. I am, for the most part, available for last minute jobs. Your dog’s comfort, their safety and needs, as well as your level of comfort, with me coming into and/or staying in your home are of the utmost importance to me. Whether it be drop ins or over nights, I want you to feel as comfortable as possible and will go above and beyond to make that happen. I hope my reviews on my stays on this site provide with some comfort as well as the knowledge that I have several clients that travel often and have me stay in their home multiple times each year and would be more than happy to provide a reference on my behalf. I no longer work full-time so I am available around the clock for pet care needs. Such availability allows me to meet the needs of most requests, even those that may not be a conventional schedule or situation. As stated, I no longer offer services inside my home for boarding or doggy day care. Please still feel free to reach out if you would to discuss potential other options.
About: Lived with cats my whole life and can help and adapt to whatever pet needs care. I’ve taken care of mostly cats and some dogs over the years. I work as a gig worker for Convention Production Rigging and I take jobs as they are given. Some of their jobs they give me may be last minute, but I will only take them if it doesn’t conflict with a booking. I have 2 cats at home and they live a very comfy life. We have an automatic litter box that I perform maintenance on when necessary, dry food always available and wet food at night. They have cat trees for climbing and plenty of soft seats and beds for resting.
About: Experienced dog and cat whisperer of 10+ years. Brand new to the DMV from Nashville and looking for new fur babies to call friends I've been trusted for walks, administering medicine, daycare pickups and more. My care for your pet comes with a little extra sparkle through playing, snuggling up, and sending magical moments via photo or video so you don't miss out on their loving while you're away! Because I have a career dependent on gigs and rehearsal times. My days are typically wide open. Unless I am required for a daytime rehearsal, most weekdays I can be available anywhere ranging from 6am-5pm (Weekends vary from time to time.) I ensure trust by establishing very clear lines of communication and asking lots of questions. I always want to be doubly sure of what I am being asked. I send text updates to let my clients know their pets are safe and secure or whenever anything out of the ordinary happens. Typically a key is left for me to easily access the owners home which allows me to keep it in a safe space without taking it with me and losing it. Sometimes when I do pick-ups and drop offs from daycare I make sure doors in the home are closed so dogs don't run through rooms they aren't supposed to be in. I make sure food and water bowls are cleaned and there are no potentially dangerous objects around by tidying up some if necessary.
About: Hello my name is Asheley,yes with an extra "e" . I absolutely adore animals of all kinds but my favourite are dogs and cats. I grew up with dogs,cats,birds,various small caged animals and horses. I have learned to work with them all. I have 2 cats and a fish at home with me now. If you trust me in the care of your pets i promise you will not be disappointed. I will treat them like my very own. I can do home stays,check ins,walks and they can even stay with me at my home! I have my own transportation and a fulltime job as well but its a flexible enough job to make sure your furbabies are checked up on! I will give treats to them as often as you like, whichever kind they prefer and i can send you pics of us taking walks or just relaxing on the couch. I am a 34 year old female by the way if that matters to anyone trying to choose. Thank you and have a great day! I work fulltime but i always make time for the fur babies. Weekends are usually free for me and i do have a day off during the week I will always ask the customers wishes about taking their animals outside or not. I do not have a fenced in yard but i do have extra leashes and harnesses as well as friendly cats

Cat parents share their Rover experiences - Athendale
Breanna was amazing! She not only took care of our cat while we were on vacation, she was very considerate in bringing in our mail and dripping our faucets during the ice storms. I don't know what we would have done without her. I'll definitely book with her again!
Carla is a gem! She took such good care of our 2 outdoor rescue cats while we were gone & always sent us pics & updates while she was there with them. If you want someone who truly loves animals & not only feeds & waters them, but showers them with love & affection, then Carla is your gal. Peace of mind knowing our fur babies are as well taken care of when we're gone as when we're home, is huge for us, so we'll definitely be using Carla's services again 😊

The average cost for Cat Sitting in Athendale on Rover is $25.53 per visit (as of September 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 .

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 Athendale. On Rover:
- 93% of sitters can help with special care needs

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.
