Thank you Alivia! Both cats were calm and settled when I got home. Oakley never comes out unless she is very familiar with someone so she must have felt very comfortable with you plus she even ate some food!

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 :)

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: Hi! My name is Hannah, and I’m a dependable, caring animal lover with experience caring for dogs of various breeds and personalities. Along with regularly dog sitting for family, I also work as a nanny, so being responsible, attentive, and following routines is already a big part of my daily life. I currently specialize in caring for small to medium-sized dogs and enjoy providing a safe, calm, and loving environment while their owners are away. Whether your dog needs walks, playtime, feeding, potty breaks, medication reminders, or simply companionship, I’m happy to help. I’m comfortable with: • Small and medium-sized dogs • Multiple pets at once • Following feeding and medication schedules • Overnight stays • Drop-in visits • Walks and playtime • Providing regular photo and video updates I understand how important it is to trust the person caring for your pet. I’ll treat your dog with the same patience, kindness, and attention that I would want for my own pets. My goal is to make sure both you and your dog feel comfortable, confident, and cared for throughout the entire experience. I’m naturally calm, detail-oriented, and dependable, and I enjoy getting to know each dog’s unique personality and routine. I currently have flexible availability, especially on Mondays and Fridays, and I look forward to meeting you and your furry family members! I currently work as a nanny part-time during the week, which gives me flexibility to provide pet care before and after work as well as on Mondays, Fridays, evenings, and weekends. I am available for drop-in visits, dog walks, and house sitting, and I always do my best to accommodate each pet’s normal routine. I understand how important consistency is for pets and will make sure they receive plenty of attention, exercise, and care while you’re away. Your pet’s safety and comfort are my top priorities. I carefully follow all feeding schedules, medication instructions, walking routines, and any special care requests provided by owners. I take the time to learn each pet’s personality and needs to help them feel comfortable and secure. I also provide regular photo and video updates so you can have peace of mind while you’re away. I treat every home and pet with the same respect and care I would expect for my own.

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: I have hands-on experience with a wide variety of animals at every life stage—from newborns to seniors. This allows me to confidently handle everything from playful, high-energy pets to those needing slower, more attentive care. I tailor my approach to each animal’s age, personality, and needs to ensure they feel safe, comfortable, and truly cared for. My availability is flexible, and when I accept a booking, I am fully committed to being there exactly when your pet needs me. I’m very mindful of my schedule and only accept jobs I can reliably follow through on, so you can count on consistency, punctuality, and dependable care every time. I provide care exclusively in your pet’s home or through outings, so they can stay comfortable in their familiar environment and routine. This helps reduce stress and keeps them feeling secure while you’re away. In your home, I follow your pet’s normal schedule as closely as possible—feeding, potty breaks, walks, playtime, and any medications or special instructions. I spend quality time with them so they feel cared for, not just “checked on.” For outings, I make sure they get safe, structured exercise and enrichment tailored to their energy level and personality. I’m very attentive to behavior, surroundings, and safety at all times. My goal is to provide consistent, loving care while keeping your pet happy, relaxed, and in their normal routine.

About: Hi! Before moving to Tennessee, I lived at a 35-dog professional racing kennel on the North Shore of Minnesota. Needless to say, I am passionate about dogs, and critters of all kinds for that matter! I am well-versed in medication delivery, first-aid, temperamental pets, unique feeding preferences, and just about anything else you could throw at me. I work from home with flexible hours! I am a notorious early bird and I’m more than happy to spend as much time as possible with your baby. I am eager to learn your exact care preferences to make sure your pet barely notices you’re gone! As the owner of two incredibly high-energy breeds, I believe that a tired pooch is a happy one. I would love nothing more than to make sure your baby has fetched, walked, and played to their heart’s desire.

Rayana is super attentive and great with the dogs. She gets right down on the floor with them to play with them. She lets the dogs out, supervises them while they're in the yard and is very reliable. She really goes above and beyond to make sure the girls are well taken care of.

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 😊

Frequently asked questions about Rover

The average cost for Cat Sitting in Athendale on Rover is $25.53 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 452 sitters on Rover offering Cat Sitting across Athendale. 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 Athendale. On Rover:

  • 93% of sitters can help with special care needs
  • 99% can help with giving oral medications or injections
  • 93% 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.
