“Allison was absolutely awesome! She went the extra mile and then some! There are allot of cat sitters out there that will feed and scoop your cats litter, but there are those rare gems like Allison that actually take the time to care for your cat and make friends with a 1/2wild crazy Orange Boy. Thats what you will get with Allison!”
“Lindy was extremely communicative, on time and thorough! Our pup was so much happier upon our return from a short weekend away verses his time in a kennel. We are so thankful and will have Lindy drop in again!”
“Taylor did drop-in visits for my puppy Thor twice a day over 3 days, and she was phenomenal! Thor was well fed, well taken care of and well toileted. After we came home from our vacation, Thor’s been going downstairs frequently (which he never does) which I think is because he misses her🥺 I would trust Taylor with any Rover services, she is trustworthy, VERY timely and truly cares for animals! Thank you Taylor🥰”
“Whitney is wonderful with our pets! She was extra patient with our senior boy and made sure he was cared for and loved on while we were gone. Highly recommend her for your pet needs! ♥️”
“Jessica is amazing with my German Shepherd, who can be very dominant with new people. She handles him confidently and gets him to behave every time. I highly recommend her.”
About: I have cared for dogs and cats for as long as I can remember. I have recently had the chance to take care of a dog with heart failure, medication administration and diet monitoring. I am currently a student, all of my classes are online which allows me the opportunity to sit, and walk pets all throughout the day. My goal would be to care for your pet as you do to minimize your baby being effected by your absence. I will take care of them as if they are my own.
“Jennifer was amazing while doing drop ins for my two cats for two weeks! She went above and beyond for my girls and was very consistent with the updates and photos which I so appreciated. By the end of the second week she even fully earned the trust of my super shy girl who asked for belly pets from her! I’ll definitely be having Jennifer back for my next trip out of town.”
“Alanna did a wonderful job taking care of my kitten while I was away! She kept me updated with lots of details and photos of my cat, which I appreciated so much! I would definitely recommend Alanna and am so thankful for her amazing care and attention to Opal!”
About: I’ve grown up with animals my whole life, and caring for them has always come naturally to me. Because I’ve always had pets of my own, I understand how important it is to have someone you can trust looking after your furry family members. I’m reliable, attentive, and committed to making sure every pet feels safe, comfortable, and loved while you’re away. Whether it’s daily walks, playtime, or simply keeping a routine, I’m here to provide dependable, caring support for your pets. I’m currently a senior in high school, and my class schedule is very flexible. I only have classes from 2:05-3:45, which means I’m available most of the day for pet care. This allows me plenty of time for walks, check-ins, feeding schedules, and giving your pets the attention they need. I’m happy to work around your pet’s routine to make sure they feel comfortable and cared for while you’re away. When caring for pets, I respectfully follow the pet’s normal schedule like handling feedings, walks, potty breaks, medication if needed, and any special instructions you provide. No matter where the care takes place, I’m committed to offering reliable, loving, and attentive service so your pet feels happy and secure while you’re away.
About: I've had dogs and cats (and everything else in between) for as long as I can remember! I've walked, boarded, and house-sat for cats and dogs of all kinds. I'm in an in-between phase of life and have a very flexible schedule. Let me know how I can help you with your furry friends! Walks/Runs/Drop-ins: I'm currently not working so I am VERY flexible! With that being said, I still like keeping a schedule of some sort. If you are looking for something consistent throughout the week, I'd love to discuss how I can help with a routine that works for you. House-sitting: I've watched up to three dogs for 8 days. I'm open to pretty much anything but would like to meet your pups/cats/other beforehand. I can board but that is dependent on the dog since I have a cat at home. Open to discussion! My home has a fenced in yard for those pups that want to roam.
“Zaina was amazing! So conscientious, both of my cats (including the usually very shy one) loved her which just goes to show what a calming sweet presence she is. Kept me up to date with lots of photos, would definitely book again and would highly recommend her to anyone else!”
“She was great with the cats, and so communicative and sweet! Would highly recommend and will be rebooking with her for sure next time I go on a trip. Thanks Kimmie and kids!”
“Christy is the best! This was the first time we booked her, and we wish we could give her 10 stars! Our dog loved her, she was prompt, sent pictures during her stay and we will definitely be calling on her again in the future. Thank you, Christy!”
About: I’ve taken care of dogs since I was a kid. Friends, family, and neighbors have relied on me to watch over their dogs while they were away. My whole family loves animals, and we currently have 3 dogs: a dachshund, a corgi, and a golden doodle. We take them everywhere with us! For the last decade, I have been working remotely, giving me the flexibility to drop by and attend to your dog. Whether it’s a walk, a quick check in, or some playtime, I’m available! I understand the challenges of balancing work away from home with pet ownership. That’s why a reliable person to keep your dog, engaged throughout the day is invaluable. There’s no greater joy than returning home to a happy and eagerly awaiting furry friend! I have 18 acres and a fenced-in back yard for my dogs. The golden Doodle (Cora Bell) loves everyone, the Dachshund (Dutton) loves to play, and the corgi (Waffles) will run the property until she tuckers out!
About: I grew up with several different kinds of animals at home. My first job was at a pet store and I have continued to love caring for animals since then. I've taken care of friends and neighbors pets for several years. I am comfortable with any pet, as long as they have a good temperament. I am a fourth grade teacher, so my schedule is completely open in the summer. During the school year, my availability is mostly limited to weekends. At my home I have a fenced in backyard and two high energy dogs ( a Dutch Shepherd and a Corgi) who would love a buddy to play with. I also have three children, ages 8-15, who like to help take care of our furry friends. At your home you can expect your pet to be cared for just like you were there, whether they need to be walked or just let out and played with while you are away. Dogs must be crate trained for boarding or day care at my home. This allows me to make sure my pets and yours are safe when I leave the house.

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.
Yes, you can find sitters who have experience with handling special pet needs in Carthage. On Rover:
- 98% of sitters can help with special care needs

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.
