“Caitlin is fantastic! My cat loved her visits, and she will definitely be my go-to sitter in the future. I loved getting regular photos and videos while I was away for a long trip. She was also great at communicating and providing quick updates whenever needed. Thank you, Caitlin!”
About: Caring for pets has been a lifelong passion of mine. As a teenager I took responsibility for my own cats, dog, and fish and became comfortable working with larger animals spending time with a friend's pit bull. When I pursed further education I was put in charge of raising animals for Historic Robbin's Crossing and learned about animal care and rights. Since then I have gained experience taking care of elderly pets and doing daily check in's for people in the Athens community. I am currently working a night shift position, but am happy to try and schedule to your needs. I am available seven days a week, especially Sunday, and with some heads up am always happy to come by to check in and go for walks. I am always happy to report in on how pets are doing and am comfortable in managing medication for animals. I do my best to be as accommodating as possible and meet pets where there needs are.
About: I grew up with a dog and have since provided pet sitting services for neighbors and friends. Over the years, I’ve had the pleasure of caring for dogs of all breeds and personalities. I currently volunteer at the county dog shelter, where I work with dogs of all temperaments, including shy or nervous pets who need extra time to warm up to new people. Being very active myself, I’m also comfortable handling strong dogs who tend to pull during walks. I’d love the opportunity to care for your pups while you're away on trips or at work! I work a typical 9-to-5 schedule and primarily work from home, which allows me to take breaks and visit or walk your pets frequently throughout the day. I currently don't have any pets of my own, so your pet will receive my full attention while in my care. I am happy to meet before booking to see if I am the right fit for your pet!
About: I offer more than just pet sitting—I provide personalized, compassionate care for every stage of your pet’s life! As well as clear communication! It is key to great pet care! I prioritize staying in touch so I can get to know both you and your pet to the best of my ability. My goal is to make sure you and your pet feels completely safe, happy, and well! I’m currently working part time- so I’ll have plenty of time to hang out and play with your animals, Pet care is a natural and fulfilling part of my daily life. I am available to pet sit any time, as well as on the weekends! :) Whether I’m caring for pets in your home, their safety and comfort are always my top priorities. In your home, I maintain your pet’s routine to minimize stress—following feeding schedules, exercise needs, and any special instructions exactly. I also keep communication open with regular updates, so you always know how your pet is doing.
“Excellent experience. Gone four days; Jacob dropped in three times a day and gave our pooch a good walk (sometimes a really long one which was awesome), as well as feeding him on schedule. Jacob was reliable, on time, and sent great reports.”
About: I bring over 6 years of pet sitting experience, along with a year of hands-on service dog training. This background has given me strong skills in structure, positive reinforcement, and confidently working with dogs of all temperaments. I’m comfortable reinforcing training for puppies, providing mental stimulation for high-energy dogs, and offering patient, attentive care for seniors who may need a slower pace or extra support. Safety, consistency, and clear communication are always my priorities. In addition to training service dog pups, I’ve trained my own dogs using cues in different languages, strengthening my understanding of how dogs learn and respond to clear, consistent guidance. I don’t just “watch” pets — I actively engage with them. Whether it’s structured walks, playtime, or reinforcing good manners, I make sure your pet feels secure, stimulated, and genuinely cared for while you’re away. I have a flexible schedule and am available for morning, afternoon, and evening visits. I can accommodate weekday and weekend bookings and will communicate clearly about any scheduling changes in advance. Every pet deserves patience, consistency, and a safe space while their family is away. I’m attentive, reliable, and committed to providing loving care while maintaining clear communication and a secure home environment.
“Kristin was great! It was such a relief to have a reliable person taking care of our cats after our former sitter left the area. She came twice a day, was really fast with message replies, took good care of the kitties, sent cute pics, and left zero mess (rinsed and put all cans in recycling, disposed of all cat litter bags...). She even informed us of a baby-bird issue in the garage and said she'd keep her eyes on them. We will hire her whenever we need a sitter and she's available, which I hope is every time for a long time!”
About: As someone on the autism spectrum, I do very well with animals because they understand non-verbal communication as well as verbal. I’ve looked after numerous cats of all ages 3 months and older. I currently on the job hunt, so I’ll have plenty of time to drop in and look after your fur babies. I can do any time of day as well. I have a car and can drive to your home daily to check-in on your pet. I live in a condo with close access to lawn space, but boarding a pet will probably not be possible. It depends heavily on whether or not they can get along with my cat. She’s very friendly, but mainly prefers to cuddle on the couch rather than running around.
About: I grew up with cats and dogs my entire life! I started "professionally" dog-sitting at 16, and have since had experience with everything from puppies to seniors of all personalities. I am comfortable and familiar with reactive dogs and don't mind anyone who needs a little extra care! I can't set specific availability hours on my calendar, so I instead have them listed below! I'm somewhat flexible, especially Fri-Sun, so please feel free to reach out with any questions :) MONDAY - THURSDAY Available for one mid-day visit (11am-1pm) Available for two afternoon visits (4pm-10pm) FRIDAY - SUNDAY Available for morning, mid-day, and afternoon visits! (6am-10pm) I'm working FOR your pet, so don't be afraid to make specific requests. I don't mind if your dog needs to be sung nursery rhymes while he eats his dinner - just let me know!
“Maya was awesome with our cat! We got daily updates and videos of how he was doing and she even left us new treats and a toy at the end of the week. Will definitely ask Maya for help in the future if we need need someone to watch Lincoln again! Thank you Maya!!”
“Adrianna was absolutely amazing with my dogs! This is the first time I have left them alone so they were not the most socialized. She spent a lot of time and energy to get their trust and by the end of the five visits, they were coming to her with wagging tails. I was so anxious about leaving them, but she calmed all of my fears and I could not be any happier without she took care of my pups! She sent me updates with pictures and let me know exactly what was going on with them and I know they weren’t easy for the first couple of visits, but she showed amazing patients and worked with them well. A huge thank you!”
“Omg Paige was such a lifesaver!! She was able to help out with our dog last minute! I was worried our dog may be nervous because she’s never had anyone drop in with her but she IMMEDIATELY loved Paige! No better feeling! Would highly recommend Paige!🤗🐾”
“Teagan did a great job caring for our kitties while we were away. We have a medically complex cat and she did a great job of making sure he got his medications and injections on time. We’ll definitely have her back!”

Caitlin is AMAZING!! She is likely the best cat sitter we have had from Rover. The amount of love she showed our kitty Reece is so evident! I received multiple pictures and videos while she was here as well as in the rover card at the end of each visit. She also made sure to sit in a place that was visible to the cameras we set up while we are gone so we could see Reece. 10/10 would HIGHLY recommend!! I will be booking again in the future!

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 administering medication or managing dietary requirements. You can also find pet sitters who accept only one pet at a time, which is ideal for anxious puppies 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 request a 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.
