I have flexibility in my schedule and can work with you to figure out what works best for your pet. I’m happy to discuss days and times ahead of time and make sure your pet gets the care and attention they need while you’re away. Your pet’s safety and comfort are really important to me. I’ll follow your instructions, keep their routine in mind, and make sure they have everything they need. I’ll also keep you updated and let you know how things are going so you can feel comfortable while you’re away.

I’m happy to work with dogs of all ages, including puppies and seniors, as well as cats, rabbits, birds, chickens, and other small animals. I have a flexible schedule that often allows me to accommodate same day visits and short-notice requests. I’m committed to providing care based on your pet’s needs - whether that means walks, feeding or playtime. I’ll also send regular photos and updates so you can feel confident your pets are happy and well cared for!

“Madison did great with my cat and dog. She was very professional and friendly, and they both took to her right away when she came over for a pre-trip meet. She was also punctual and polite and always uploaded pictures when she came by for the feed/walk. I will definitely be a repeat customer of hers.”
About: Hi, I'm Aly! I'm a local Scranton dog walker and pet sitter with 15 years of pet care experience, and I'm available for dog walks and drop-in visits 7 days a week. I work remotely, so my weekday schedule is flexible and I can fit in midday walks while you're at work. Same-day requests are welcome! I have 4 repeat clients on Rover and send photo and status updates on every walk, so you'll always know how your pup is doing. I'm patient, responsible, and punctual, and I've cared for everything from new puppies to senior dogs, including pups who are a little hesitant on walks. I've had pets my whole life and treat every dog like my own. I'm also experienced giving oral medication and insulin injections from caring for my diabetic cat, and I'm happy to care for cats too. Send me a message and I'll get back to you quickly. I can't wait to meet you and your pup! I work remotely, so my schedule is flexible for morning and evening visits, midday walks, medication timing, and last-minute bookings. My own days already revolve around feeding times and my cat's insulin doses, so keeping your pet on their routine comes naturally. Before your first booking, I'll set up a meet-and-greet so your pet can get to know me and I can learn their routine: feeding times, medications, leash habits, hiding spots, and quirks. I follow your instructions exactly, keep doors, gates, and windows secure, and watch for changes in appetite, bathroom habits, or behavior. If anything seems off, I'll let you know right away.
“Briana was an excellent in home sitter! She kept us updated every day about our cat, Lilly. She also sent photos and videos daily of her. She gave her medicines twice a day and brushed her, which she loves and gave her lots of pets and attention. She is the best sitter we've had since we moved.”

Frequently asked questions about Rover
As of November 2026, there are 41 sitters on Rover offering Cat Sitting across Carbondale. 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 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.

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 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.
