“Our anti-social kitty likes her better than us! Allison is incredible!!! From the moment we met her for a meet & greet I knew she was perfect. We felt 100% comfortable with her coming in to our home, and knew our cats were in great hands. She’s responsible, great at communicating with us, and so sweet. She must be a cat whisperer because our shy kitty not only snuggled her day 1, but even let Allison rub her belly! We are so thankful to have such a wonderful professional do checkins/feeding while we were away.”

“Trinity took this job last second over the Holliday. She took great care of our dogs and would let us know if anything happened. Seeing the pics daily I could tell how much our dogs enjoyed having her there to watch them and spend time with them.”
About: I have years of pet care experience! I have spent my life wanting to make dog parents' lives easier. Not only have I had animals all my life, I have 5 years' experience at dog boarding facilities that also include daycare and grooming. I love all dogs, big or small. I also have experience in puppies, older gems and those who may be considered "difficult". I am here to make your life easier when you have to leave your pet. We all know it isn't fun to leave them, but I am here to ease your mind! I will make sure your pet is at ease while their human is gone! I can't replace you, but I will make it more bearable! I am more than happy to stay overnight with your pet! I can make time for morning, midday (depending on location) and evening potty breaks! I will come to your house so that your pet feels secure and comfortable in their own home. Unless you request that I bring them into my house, I usually like to keep them in their normal routine and place!
About: I have loved owned and taken care of fur babies since I was 8 years old. I am a stay at home momma so I can give your fur babies all the love they need. I am a stay at home mom so I have all day every day to love play and take care of the beautiful babies of yours. I love and care for them they are my babies and they get all the love play time and attention they need and want whenever they want.
About: I’ve been surrounded by animals all my life and i would also help my family take care of, and also babysit many of our animals. I worked as a part-time groomer for a little under a year i’m also very active with my own cats and dog. I am currently doing part time virtual school, so I have plenty of time to make sure you’re pets are well taken care of and loved. I have a large yard where they can run and play with tones of toys. We also have 2 friendly dogs they can play with while they are here.
About: I love all animals. I’ve cared for dogs, cats, birds, reptiles and even rodents (not pictured). Of course I have the most experience with cats and dogs. Animals have been part of my family for as long as I can remember. I’ve rescued a baby bird, sheltered and fed litters of kittens and gave them homes, and saved a puppy from the deadly Parvo virus by nursing her back to health. I’ve house trained many cats and dogs as well. There’s nothing I wouldn’t do to rescue an animal. Pets are a crucial part of the family, they’re the glue that holds everyone together. They should be loved and cared for the same way as children and you can trust that I will give them the care they need. I am off work Wed, Thurs, and Friday so I can definitely do housesitting then but I can do drop-in visits to walk and feed your dog any time before 11 am or after 9 pm throughout the week/weekend. Unfortunately I will not be caring for other pets in my home because I have a Siberian husky and 2 longhair domestic cats in a very small upstairs apartment. I can, however, provide other services like pet walking, overnight stays at your home, and/or daily check-ins. No matter, I vow to respect your privacy and personal belongings and love your animals as my own.
About: I have personally had animals of a broad variety since I was born. I have sat for friends and family for over 5 years. I love it, love them like my own! I am currently an elementary school teacher and teach until 3 daily. I will be at home daily for the remainder of the day and am always home on the weekends. I have a fenced in yard that your animals can run and play in, an array of toys. If needed you can bring a crate for keeping if they are used to that. I do have cat crates.
“Amber really loves my baby!! She also reinforces the commands and reprimands that I do so I’m not starting all over every day with my puppy. She takes time to update me and makes sure she has a good time even if it’s for just 30 minutes. So grateful for her!”
About: Hi, I’m Lona! 🐾 I’m an animal lover currently in a veterinary assistant program with hands-on experience caring for cats and dogs. I’ll treat your pet like family, giving them plenty of love, attention, playtime, and care while keeping you updated with photos so you can have peace of mind while you’re away! 💕 Right now, I’m in between jobs, which means I have a very flexible schedule and can dedicate plenty of time and attention to pet care. Whether it's early morning walks, midday check-ins, or overnight sitting, I’m available and committed to meeting your pet’s needs. I love staying active, so dog walking fits perfectly into my daily routine — it helps keep me moving and gives me a chance to bond with your pet. Since I’m not tied to a strict 9-to-5 schedule, I can easily adapt to last-minute requests, extended stays, or custom routines that work best for you and your furry friend. Whether I’m caring for a pet in my own home or in the client’s home, my top priorities are safety, comfort, and consistency. I understand that every pet has their own routine, personality, and preferences, so I do my best to follow their normal schedule and make them feel secure and loved.
“Robbie did amazing watching our dog Beaux! He followed our dogs routine while we were out of town and communicated with us daily with picture updates. Will definitely be using his services again!”
About: With 7 years of experience caring for both puppies and senior dogs, I understand their unique needs and provide loving, attentive care. From frequent potty breaks to scheduled medication and everything else in between, I’m here to ensure your dog feels safe, happy, and comfortable. I did discover that I have an allergy towards dogs that shed heavily, so boarding is limited to low- & non-shedding dogs. I work full-time but I make sure to come home every day around lunchtime for midday feeding and potty breaks. I’m home right after work and usually spend weekends at home — unless I’m traveling with my furry friends 🤭 I have a gated yard and two fur babies to keep your family member engaged and safe. I do not crate dogs during the day, unless they are actively working on crate training but I do crate at night for safety purposes. Please be sure to bring your dog’s crate as most feel more comfortable in their own. While I do have crates available, I also prioritize your pet’s comfort. To ensure the health and safety of all dogs in my care, I require that all boarding dogs be up to date on vaccines and flea treatments, with vet records to corroborate this. This requirement helps keep everyone safe and ensures your dog returns home as healthy as they arrived.

A pet sitter can provide focused care sessions, help your pet’s routine stay on track, or keep you updated on your pet’s mood and energy levels.
Whether you’re at the office for the day or traveling for a few nights, a pet sitter can offer potty breaks during a Bessemer City stroll, cleaning the litter box, or making sure your pet has on-time food or water refills. For daytime services like walking and drop-ins, you can also request sitters to send a report card with every visit.
Tip: You can discuss your specific arrangements with a pet sitter on Rover to what fits you, your pet, and your sitter’s needs. To find what their special skills are, look at the "Skills" and "Pet care experience" sections on their profile.
Key handling is entirely up to you and your sitter to agree on during the Meet & Greet or in the Rover app. Most pet parents in Bessemer City choose to hand over a spare key or digital fob in person, while others arrange a lockbox or unique access code. Don't forget to discuss key returns as well!
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 .

A Meet & Greet is a short introductory meeting between you, your dog, 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.
While Rover doesn’t offer traditional subscription services, some sitters offer recurring bookings for services like home visits and dog walking. Recurring services come with their own perks, such as flexibility to modify services (up to five weeks in advance), automatic billing, Rover Card updates, and same-day cancellations.
To find sitters in Bessemer City with recurring or weekly availability, select "Repeat Weekly" and which days you’d like them to care for your pet.

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.
