“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!”
“As always, Linda takes wonderful care of my Persian cats while I am away. I'm so grateful to be able to leave them and be confident they're in such good hands. I have four long haired flat faced high maintenance spoiled Persians. : )”
About: I’ve grown up caring for animals all my life; cattle, dogs, cats, hedgehogs, and many more. I have experience in small dogs and large, specifically dachshunds and Siberian huskies/Malamutes, as I’ve grown up with those breeds since I was a toddler! My home is very assessable to those prone to IVDD as I currently have my Mini-Dachshund living with me. I know how to administer limited medications, pills and solution/liquid medications. I am also able to provide nail trimmings for dogs only, no additional charge; I can provide my own clean dremel/nail clippers. I’m also a very patient person, so new pets won’t be a problem. I have experience with dogs who experience anxiety/are skittish. And I am experienced with elderly pets! I’m currently working part-time as a pharmacy technician (1-3 days a week) and I am in school full-time. I am able to make time after and between classes to fit all the love and attention into the needs of pets. I live on the 3rd floor of an apartment complex, I’m happy to carry the smaller pets up stairs if they have trouble with stairs! I don’t necessarily have a fenced in yard, but we do have a fenced in area specifically for dogs, most people in the complex don’t use! I enjoy taking the dogs on walks either around campus or shorter walks around the complex/home, I’m very active if your pet needs mental stimulation I am perfect for that; if your pet is more of a calm and lazy animal I can also provide for them as well! I’ve been know to be a very organized person, so if your pet is on a specific schedule I can usually adapt to that schedule very quickly and efficiently whether that’s feeding, walking or medications.
About: I’ve been around animals my entire life and have experience caring for dogs, cats, and a variety of small companion animals. Growing up with pets taught me responsibility, patience, and confidence in providing attentive, compassionate care. I’m currently a Wildlife & Pre-Vet student at Auburn University, where I’m building a strong foundation in animal behavior, health, and welfare. This summer, I’m gaining hands-on experience working with animals in a professional setting, which has strengthened my understanding of behavior, health monitoring, and enrichment. Because of my internship, I’m unavailable Sunday–Wednesday from 7:00 AM–4:30 PM, but I’m available for early morning visits before 7:00 AM, evening visits after 4:30 PM, overnights, and have full availability Thursday through Saturday. In addition to my professional experience, I’ve cared for pets for friends, family, and other clients, providing feeding, walks, playtime, exercise, and plenty of affection while maintaining each pet’s normal routine. Whether your dog is energetic, shy, or a senior needing extra patience, I tailor my care to meet their individual needs. I treat every pet like they’re my own and believe communication is just as important as great care. You can expect regular updates, photos, and the peace of mind that your pet is receiving attentive, compassionate, and dependable care every visit. I have a flexible schedule this summer with a part time internship, so I am available mornings, evenings, and weekends. I may be away for a few hours during the day on some weekdays, but I always plan my schedule to make sure pets are well cared for and checked on consistently. I keep my calendar updated and communicate clearly about availability. When caring for pets, I always prioritize their safety, comfort, and routine. I take the time to learn each pet’s needs, including feeding schedules, exercise, and any special instructions. I make sure pets are always secure on walks and monitored closely during visits. In a client’s home, I respect their space and follow all instructions carefully to keep pets in a familiar and stress free environment. I also provide regular updates and photos so owners feel confident their pets are in good hands.
About: I’ve taken care of my own dogs as well as my neighbors and friend’s pets since I was in elementary school. As a pre-vet student I have a strong passion for animals, and provide the best care I can! I’m currently a student at Auburn, but over the month of may I have zero plans so I can check up on pets whenever needed! I enjoy and early wake up and am happy bringing dogs on walks anytime! I always ensure I spend ample time with the pets I take care of, especially if they are social. This means playing with dogs outside so that they are worn out and tired for the rest of their home stay, and for cats playing as the cat allows!
“Faith was incredible! She went above and beyond to take care of our cats while we were away. We really appreciated how she kept us updated each day with photos and an in-depth review of her visits.”
About: I’ve always loved animals and have experience caring for pets of my own as well as pets for friends and family. I’m comfortable with feeding, playtime, walks, litter boxes, giving lots of attention, and keeping pets on their normal routine. I’m patient, dependable, and understand how important it is to have someone you trust caring for your pets while you’re away. I am a college student so I can pet sit after classes on Monday, Tuesday, Friday, and weekends! I would love to take care of your fur babies! I have a kitten named Fid, I recently adopted him. I care for him by feeding him his wet food and adding water so that he does not get dehydrated. I also make sure his paws stay clean by cleaning them once a week. I always make sure he is safe and gets lots of cuddles!
“Abby did a fantastic job taking care of my cat while I was on vacation. Super consistent with her check-ins, fast responses with communion, and she kindly accommodated adding extra check-ins. Highly recommend!!”
About: I have extensive experience in both animal welfare and veterinary clinic settings, giving me a strong foundation in pet care, behavior, and health. I’m comfortable with dogs and cats of all sizes, ages, and temperaments, from high-energy puppies to seniors and pets needing extra patience or structure. I also graduated from Auburn in 2017 with a degree in animal sciences Through my work, I’ve gained hands-on experience with safe handling, administering medications (oral, transdermal, subcutaneous and intramuscular injections, etc), recognizing signs of stress or illness, and supporting pets in new or unfamiliar environments. I’m calm, reliable, and very detail-oriented, and I take pride in keeping pets safe, comfortable, and on their normal routine while you’re away. I have a flexible schedule and work from home full time that allows me to prioritize pet care throughout the day. I’m available for drop-ins and walks, and I can accommodate morning, midday, and evening routines with boarding animals. I’m happy to adjust to your pet’s normal schedule to keep things consistent and low-stress. With my background in animal welfare and veterinary clinics, safety is always my top priority. I’m experienced in reading body language, handling pets safely, and recognizing early signs of stress or illness. In your home and mine, I make sure routines are followed closely and your pet stays comfortable in their environment. I’m respectful of your space, detail-oriented, and always prioritize clear communication so you feel confident while you’re away.
About: I have had pets my whole life! cats, bunnies ,dogs ,mice ,chicken. I love animals and will love yours as I do mine! (which is a lot!!) right now I am a collage student working once a week at the hospital. and classes only Tuesdays and Thursdays so I have plenty of free time. for house sitting i have a lovely 5 month old doodle that loves all animals and is available to play if wanted and if not that’s okays to. i love to go on walks to just chill and snuggle anything that your pet needs or likes to do!
“Brooke was an excellent caretaker to my cats while I was away at the beach. She sent pics and videos and really made being away completely worry free. My cats warmed up to her quickly, which is something they don't normally do, which is a testament to her kind nature and natural instincs when watching someone's pets. She is as good as it gets. Cat Sitter Extraordinaire!! Highly recommend.”
About: I have two dogs that live with my parents from growing up. I frequently foster animals ranging from puppies to adult dogs at my local humane society. I also volunteer with the cats as well! I will care for your pet as my own. I have class during the week but that is only for an hour or two a day. When I am not in class I am at home. I have plenty of time to take care of your pet. I am a very patient pet sitter. I listen and pay attention to what you tell me your dog or cat needs and I go beyond that. I do allow pets to be comfortable where they choose whether that’s on furniture, or on the cold floor. I will make sure your pets feel as comfortable as possible while away from their humans! I do not have any pets that live with me so having a guest pet every now and then is great.
“Alexis did such a great job caring for my cat, Lacey! She was very good with communication and updates, if there were any questions or just to send pictures, which I loved! I will definitely be booking with Alexis next time I have to go out of town, knowing Lacey will be safe and well taken care of. Thank you!”
About: I raised my first dog at 7, and have been the designated dog trainer, and sitter since. I have fostered over 7 dogs in my lifetime. All different breeds and energy levels. The oldest dog I have adopted was a 15 year old blind dachshund. I am experienced with animals with conditions such as hip pain, aggression, blindness, and hearing impairment. I have two corgis currently, one raised and trained by me, the other a rescue. I am experienced in handling reactive, aggressive dogs, and am equipped to redirect their attention from the trigger with their favorite treats or toy. My work schedule is inconsistent, but I work nights and early afternoons about 4-5 days a week, and can stop by to feed, or walk early in the morning, and afternoons before work or on my break I have experience with reactive, very energetic, and or elderly animals. I have looked after just over 7 dogs in my life time, and trained a corgi. I am very patient, it’s their first time on earth too, but assertive if the need arises

Cat parents share their Rover experiences - Auburn
Abby was great!! I received in detail updates after every visit along with multiple pictures of my cat. The litter box was super clean when I returned and she kept me in the loop with any issues my cat had. Will be rebooking with in the future and recommend to anyone in need of a sitter!
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.
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 .
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.
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 .

Same-day cancellations for recurring services, which include walks, drop-ins, and day care, follow the full refund policy.
