“We love working with Alexandria and our pets do too. They always seem so happy when we get back and well cared for. We have several pets that need medications and just general aging. She goes above and beyond to keep them comfortable when we are away.”
“They were amazing, beyond kind, and very responsive! They sent lots of pictures and kept up on all tasks asked! I would trust them again and again. Will be booking again for our next trip :) Thanks!”
“Genevieve was very prompt in her response and had great communication! My dogs were taken care of and I had no messes to clean up when I came home, which is always a plus! Would highly recommend her for your pet care needs!”
About: I’ve had dogs and cats all my life as well as fostering both for six years. I have experience with puppies, kittens, seniors, reactive dogs, and medication administration! I’m just looking for something fun to do between classes during the week and on my off days! It also allows me some much needed time with dogs as I unfortunately don’t have any since moving from Northern Michigan! I would treat them as if they were my own pet follow the owners instructions and be respectful of their home. I’m comfortable administering medications and working with reactive animals.
“Mandee provided exceptional care for our 2 cats (& checked on our home/mail/trash). We appreciated the updates and pictures she provided. She played with our fur babies and made sure they were set with litter, food, and water each day. Would recommend and definitely book her again.”
“For my first time using Rover I wasn’t sure what to expect. Lauren did a great job with my “kids”. Both cats took their turn being shy with her but she had the patience to wait until they came out to see her on their terms. I liked that she gave me updates about the visit so I could give her real-time feedback on them. I will definitely use Lauren again!”
“Hanna was very attentive and responsive. We needed care last minute and she was able to respond right away and confirm all the information. Both our dogs had a great time in Hanna care.”
About: I’ve taken care of dogs for a long time. I would walk the neighbors dogs and take care of them when they’re out of town. I work part time as a nurse tech and would love to take care of puppies in my free time. Well in school I would love to take a break and walk a dog or watch a cat. If I find a mess I will do my best to clean it up, because I know the long something sits the worse it gets.
“I reached out to Lindsay on short notice needing someone to watch Goliath (my Husky) and she came through. What impressed me most wasn’t just that she said yes—it’s that she went above and beyond the whole time. Lindsay sent me daily videos and pictures of Goliath, so I could actually see him having a great time instead of just hoping for the best. She kept me in the loop every single day with updates, which made a huge difference when you’re away. You can tell she genuinely cares about the dogs in her care—it shows in how attentive she is. Goliath came back happy and well-exercised, which is exactly what you want. I’m definitely booking her again for my next trip.”
“Holly Jean was wonderful! She sent me detailed updates about how her drop in visit went. She followed all my instructions perfectly. She was communicative during the booking process and did not hesitate to reach out if she had any further questions. I felt like my cats were well cared for with her!”
About: Hi! I’m Ashleigh 😊 I’ve been an animal lover my whole life and have a few years of dog-sitting experience, caring for both my own pets and my neighbors’ dogs. I’m comfortable with small and medium-sized dogs, and I always make sure they feel safe, happy, and well cared for. I offer drop-in visits and dog walking, and I’m available during the afternoon (sometimes early morning)and on most holidays. I currently work during the day, but I’m happy to help on my days off and when my schedule allows. I’m comfortable with puppies and senior dogs, and I can care for multiple pets at once. I’m attentive to each pet’s individual needs and routines, whether that’s feeding schedules, walks, playtime, or just some extra companionship. You can expect regular updates and photos so you always know your pet is in good hands 🐾 Feel free to reach out—I’d love to meet you and your pet! I currently work during the day, so I offer pet care mainly on my days off and when I have daytime availability. Pet care fits easily into my routine because I’m an animal lover and enjoy spending time with dogs. I make sure to plan my schedule so each pet gets enough attention, whether that’s walks, drop-in visits, feeding, or playtime. I keep my availability realistic so I can provide reliable, consistent care for every booking. I care for pets in my client’s home by following their usual routine as closely as possible to help the pet feel comfortable and secure. I make sure to follow all instructions for feeding, walks, medication, and any specific care needs. I also spend time giving attention, play, and companionship so they don’t feel alone while their owner is away. I pay close attention to safety, making sure doors, leashes, and environments are secure during visits and walks. I also keep the home tidy and respect the client’s space. I provide updates and photos after visits so owners can feel confident their pet is happy and well cared for 🐾
About: I’ve had pets in my life since I was a child. I’ve taken care of and handled anything from big dogs to newborn puppies, long-haired cats to barn kitties, rats, hamsters, gerbils, snakes, chickens, turtles and fish! I love every animal as if they are my own and strive to make them as happy, comfortable and loved as possible. My current schedule is extremely flexible. I always have Thursdays and Fridays open. When I do work, my shifts are only 4-6 hours at a time so I can be with your fur babies! I am well versed in animal body language. I have no issues with training, crating, and playing with many different kinds of pets! I enjoy giving your animals lots of love and attention but can also understand and respect when animals need their own personal space!
About: I have been with rover, dog bording, since 2018. I love animals, they are my favorite. I pet every dog I see. I have also been around animals my whole life. When I was younger I had a dog named rocky, he was a cocker spaniel and a beagle mix, I had him for 13 years. When we had to put him down part of my soul left, he was my best friend. I know what its like to love your beautiful animals, through hard times they are always there for us. They are all created with beautiful souls, we are so lucky to have something like that by our sides. With that being said, I would love to take in your pet as if it were my own. Thank you for reading. Ps.I do NOT have cats or any animals. For some reason it says I have cats. 🤷♀️ I currently am a stay at home mom so I am able to be with your pups all day! I am able to get to know your dog and they dont think im a stranger when they come back! I have a lot of space to take your dog for a walk. We walk in the morning and I take them for a long walk before bed, and to crate if needed.

Frequently asked questions about Rover
As of September 2026, there are 754 sitters on Rover offering Cat Sitting across Ballards Corners. 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.

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.
