“I am amazed by Emmalyn! I just moved and i found her 2 days before my trip and she was the best! Very communicative, very detailed and she took the best care of my cats! Very loving. She also sent some extra videos and pictures. I will be hiring her again.”
“Heather was absolutely amazing. She arrived on time every day and ensured my cat baby had food and water. She even checked her litter and cleaned up when my cat threw up. I was so pleased with her! She also left me a lovely card that I so much appreciated. I would definitely work with Heather again in the future.”

About: For as long as I can remember, I’ve had a love for animals. I’d love to use that passion to help others when they need it! I’m currently freelancing in digital services, so my schedule is flexible and can accommodate many of your scheduling needs! I work from home every day and have reliable transportation as well. I have a very walkable neighborhood and have plenty of windows in my home for cats to sit in. We’ve got a fenced yard as well.
About: I’ve taken care of dogs for about four years, and owned a cat for two. I’m looking for more formal experience. I love fur babies and have dog sat up to four dogs from one home. Older dogs are welcomed too! Pet sitting is perfect for my schedule as a full time undergraduate student. Most opportunities are over the weekend and walking during period of the day I don’t have class; allowing me to work through out with a manageable schedule. I clean after the animals, cuddle with them, and play in and outdoors. I find myself caring for them similarly to the way I care for my plants at home by talking positivity to them casually through out the day. I also ask a lot of questions to ensure that life with me isn’t too different from life with their owners.

“This is the first time Chrissonna took care of my kitties and there will be more times to come. It was not an easy visit, just feeding them, but she had to give Mr Meow, my diabetic cat a shot of insulin. She also played with my kitties and I know they loved it. Thank you Chrissonna!”
“Ashley is amazing. Reliable, responsive, flexible, trustworthy and incredibly kind. She did drop in visits for us for a week while we were away and sent us updates, pictures and videos and made us feel so comfortable knowing our girls were being cared for. Will definitely book with her again!”
“Jade does such a wonderful job with our pups. She treats them as if they were her own. Having Jade watch our dogs really gives us piece of mind when we are away. We would definitely recommend her and will for sure keep booking her.”

We highly recommend Ornina, she did an amazing job with our kitties . They took to her and earned her trust . Daily exceptional photos and updates and has a great and friendly personality.She goes above and beyond fed our Koi and watered garden and trimmed they kitties nails simply amazing. We will keep her forever.
She always does a great job watching my animals. On the last day she was watching my dogs and cat my dog Phoebe had something wrong with her eye. She helped me out and gave her her eye drops. She is always on top of taking pictures and keep me up-to-date on my animals. Have nothing but great things to say about her, Alexis absolutely amazing.
I recently hired Lauren to care for my two parrots and cat while we were away for the holiday, and I was very impressed with her service. She communicated regularly and ensured my pets were well taken care of throughout our absence. When a temperature alarm went off in my home, she responded immediately and handled the situation with great professionalism. My pets were happy and healthy upon my return, and the house was just as I left it. I highly recommend her to anyone looking for a reliable and responsive pet sitter.

The average cost of Cat Sitting in Bessemer City is $16 per visit as of October 2026. Most bookings cost between $16 and $24 per visit. On Rover, sitters set their own rates based on factors such as their experience, the length of care, the number of pets, and your pet’s specific needs.

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 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.

sitters on Rover set their own cancellation policy, which you can find on their profile under their contact information. Sitters may set a same-day, one-, three-, or seven-day cancellation policy. Cancelling within your sitter’s cancellation policy qualifies you for a full refund.
Same-day cancellations for recurring services, which include walks, drop-ins, and day care, follow the full refund policy. Otherwise, for pet boarding and house sitting, if you cancel after 12 pm on the applicable cancellation deadline, you’ll receive a 50% refund for the first seven days of the booking and a 100% refund for any remaining days.
If your sitter needs to cancel within seven days of the booking's start date, then our reservation protection will kick in. This means you will get a full refund and our support team will work with you to find a replacement sitter.
