About: I’ve taken care of all types of dogs and cats from high school throughout college. I love spending time with animals so your pets will have safe and loving experiences each day! I am currently working in a research lab over the summer, but I am very flexible. I will be completely available on the weekends to look after your fur babies! I live in a small apartment, so I will not be able to board pets. However, I am right next to Auburn University's main campus. Plenty of long walks to be had!
About: I love all sorts of cats and dogs, and have been pet sitting since I was 13. I am now trying to make money for college, and spending time with pets seems like the best way to do it This is my only job at the moment, so I can be very flexible with any times & dates. The one thing is that I am not much of a morning person, but I will be very happy to comply with any time if an early check-in is needed :) I would be more than happy to give your pet all of the attention it needs, as well as feed them, give them water, clean their litter box, take them outside, clean up their messes, or help them with anything they might need! Just let me know!
About: I have been around dogs and cats since I was born. I have taken care of my 4 household dogs (2 labs and 2 chihuahuas) and one cat since I was 10. I have always been the pet sitter and walker for my mom, sister, grandma, and aunt when they needed one! Right after I moved out I adopted a miniature dachshund of my own! I am currently a 5th year architecture student! I only have classes Monday, Wednesday, and Friday afternoons. Tuesdays and Thursdays are completely free, so I have plenty of available time to tend to and love on your pets throughout the day. I also have open availability most weekends! I am able to feed, play with, walk, bathe, and check up on your dog! I also would love to update you with pictures throughout my visit or walk with your pet, my phone is full of animal photos!
About: I’ve been pet sitting since I was 15 and have cared for everything from playful puppies to pets with medical needs. I also spent three years caring for a senior dog, giving me experience with medication routines, mobility support, and gentle, attentive care. Growing up with both cats and dogs taught me patience, confidence, and how to make every pet feel safe, loved, and understood. As a part‑time fifth‑year architecture student, I have a flexible weekly schedule that allows me to reliably incorporate pet care into my days. I balance studio work with plenty of time at home, which makes it easy for me to provide consistent attention, walks, feedings, and companionship. Pet sitting has been part of my life since I was 15, so building it into my routine feels natural, it’s a job I genuinely enjoy and make space for every week. In a client’s home, I follow their established routines closely, from feeding and walks to medication schedules and preferred play styles. I keep the home tidy, respect all instructions, and make sure pets feel secure while their owners are away. Because I’ve cared for pets with medical needs, puppies, and seniors, I’m comfortable adapting to whatever level of support each pet requires.
“Anjolie is a very caring sitter. She took care of our cat for a little over two weeks. Very prompt in responses to messages etc. and punctual with visits. Very polite young lady. Would highly recommend.”
“Thanks so much to Alexandra for doing such a great job with Punk'n during his drop in. He was very relaxed and happy and when u got home and I know he had fun during the visit. I love the pictures and the feedback you have on his visit.”
“Abigail did a wonderful job with my pup, Maple, and my two cats! She catered to their every need. Would definitely recommend Abigail! Cannot thank her enough for covering over the 4th of July weekend!”
“Taylor was amazing watching our 3 month old kitten! He can be a ball full of energy and she made sure to play with him and take lots of pictures which out me at ease! Highly recommend Taylor!”
“Linda is amazing!! She’s so patient with my shy girls and she was still able to not only take care of their needs but love on them & get pics for me too!!! I absolutely would use Linda again in a heartbeat! Trust her with my babies! She loves them like they’re hers!”
“Renee is always so great and accommodating when we leave town! She’s checked on our cat multiple trips now and I fully trust her and know our pet is in good hands. Renee is a wonderful caretaker and goes above and beyond!”
About: I grew up training puppy’s and always having a dog/cat in the home. I am a loving dog sitter and will give your dog the care they need! I am an early riser and love to go on walks so your furry friend will get great exercise!! I like schedules and routines, and my house is always very clean! I do not have any animals so there is no issue worrying if they will get along! I live in a very spacious apartment and absolutely love to go on walks!
“Kailyn did such a fantastic job watching my little Coco! My cat is very energetic and needs a lot of attention. Kailyn played with her and gave her so much love during every visit. She always sent me updates and was great at communicating. I already have her booked to watch Coco again in October and November!”
About: I grew up on a farm so I’ve been around animals all my life. Family and friends have trusted me for all of their pet-sitting needs for years. I currently have two dogs. I’ve dog sat dogs of all ages in my home and in the owners’ homes. Last fall, I witnessed a man dumping two dogs near my home. One of them was pregnant. We were able to raise the puppies and give them and the mom to loving homes. We kept the other dog and now her and the chiweenie that we already owned are best friends. I also have experience with special needs dogs. My chiweenie recently lost his left eye after another dog jumped on him. I've learned to be patient with him as he regains confidence and navigates everyday life with one eye. I am a full-time student at college. I do not have a job but I am looking for a part-time gig to do along with pet care. My classes aren't all day so I would be able to care for pets in the morning and as needed in the later afternoon/night. In the client’s home, I can feed, water, play with and follow whatever specific instructions I’m given. I can walk your dog on a leash and make sure they always have water.
The median cost per visit for cat sitting in Auburn is $17
Cat parents share their Rover experiences - Auburn
Kailyn was wonderful with my cats. I was nervous about letting someone else take care of them, but she came by the week before my trip to meet them, sent plenty of photos, and spent time playing with them. She respected my oldest cat’s no-pet boundary while still including her through parallel play. She was also very patient and kind when there was an issue with the key. I would absolutely book her again!
Anna did a wonderful job taking care of my pet. She was always on time, very professional, and made sure my pet received their medical pills as needed. It gave me great peace of mind knowing my pet was in such reliable and caring hands. I truly appreciate her help and would highly recommend her to anyone looking for a trustworthy pet sitter.
mercy is AMAZING!! She spent quality time with my pets& i could tell they were loved while i was away:)) she is also super sweet& responds quickly. she also worked with me when i made it back to my babies a little later than anticipated. you won’t regret hiring her, & ill be recommending her x1000!!
Because of a family trip, we had to find someone to care for our cats on short notice. Nikita responded incredibly quickly and handled everything we asked for in a very professional manner. She also always left us photos of our cats during each visit, which gave us great peace of mind. Most importantly, she treated our cats like family, and our cats absolutely loved her visits. If we travel again in the future, we will definitely be reaching out to Nikita without any hesitation.
Alana is absolutely amazing! This is the third time she has watched my cat, Cypher, and I couldn’t be happier with her care. Cypher absolutely adores her, and it’s clear how attentive, patient, and caring she is with her. It’s such a relief knowing my pet is in the best hands while I’m away. I highly recommend Alana to anyone looking for a trustworthy and truly wonderful pet sitter! 🐾💛

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.

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 Meet & Greet .
