“Alyssa was able to watch my kitties at the last minute. I felt very comfortable having her drop-in and care for my cats, including giving one of my cats his medicine. She communicated with me every day about how they were doing and I would definitely recommend her!”
About: Hello my name is Aj! I have been taking care of animals since I could say the word dog! I am also wanting to persue the vet field! I own 7 dogs 3 cat and 2 reptiles. I love all animal and have little to no fear of any! I am trained in administration of medicine and have experience with all type of dogs including siezure dogs!

About: I’ve spent the last 22 years rescuing and rehabbing abandoned cats and dogs. I’ve also provided reliable, loving pet sitting and boarding for 19 years. That depth of experience has taught me one thing above all: every animal is different—and every one deserves care that honors who they are. From high-energy pups to anxious seniors, from playful kittens to quiet, special-needs cats—I meet them where they are. I learn their rhythms, their unique needs, and what makes them feel safe. Whether it’s a calm brushing session, an energetic walk, or just giving them space to warm up, I offer a steady, attentive presence. I’m experienced with administering oral and topical medications, and yes—I take deep-cleaning litter boxes seriously. I don’t just show up. I build trust. I believe great pet care is rooted in connection, consistency, and showing each pet that they’re loved and valued. And while you’re away, I’ll keep you in the loop with updates that feel like they’re from a trusted friend. I work full-time in dog and cat care, which means your pets get my full attention, time, and heart every day that you need it. I currently don’t offer care in my home, but I’m happy to come to yours—where your pets feel safest and most comfortable. I follow your routines closely, keep things calm and familiar, and always respect your space. Whether it’s locking up securely, cleaning up thoroughly, or taking notes on your pet’s preferences, I treat your home and animals with the same care I’d want for my own. Safety and trust are everything to me, and I’m committed to providing a peaceful, dependable presence you and your pets can count on.
“If you love your pets and want someone to love them when you’re away, Ashley is your girl. My cat has some health problems and Ashley combined competence with compassion and gave me peace of mind I did not expect to have when I was on vacation. She was extremely accommodating of a difficult request I had, and I simply cannot say enough good things about her! She truly went above and beyond and cared for my cat like her own. I will definitely be trusting her with my pets in the future.”
About: Hey everyone! A little about me is that I’m a veteran who got out of the military in 2025, and since then I’ve been a stay-at-home dad to my kids and my two dogs. Safe to say the dogs are just as spoiled as the kids around here lol. I’ve had my dogs for over 4 years, and they’re truly family to me, so I understand how important it is to know your pets are safe, cared for, and getting plenty of attention while you’re away. So even though I haven’t professionally dog sat before, I’ve always been the go-to pet sitter for friends and family for years because they know I’m dependable, patient, and genuinely enjoy being around animals. I’m comfortable with feeding schedules, potty breaks, playtime, walks, and just making sure pets feel comfortable and relaxed in their environment. What I think really sets me apart is that I’m home most of the day as a stay-at-home dad, so your pets won’t just be left alone waiting for someone to come back hours later which really helps if they have separation anxiety! Trust me I know! Lol They’ll get real attention, supervision, playtime, and care throughout the day. I also know how important routines are for pets, so I do my best to stick to whatever schedule your dog or dogs are used to so they feel right at home. Whether your dog or dogs are just balls of energy or they just want someone to hang out with on the couch, I’m happy to match their vibe. Honestly, I just treat them the same way I’d want someone treating my own dogs. I’m a stay-at-home dad, so my schedule is super flexible and I’m home most of the day. I don’t work outside the home, which means I’m able to give pets lots of attention, playtime, and care throughout the day instead of leaving them alone for long periods. I can easily work around your pet’s normal routine and keep things as consistent as possible, whether that’s feeding times, walks, potty breaks, medication, or bedtime routines. I’m usually up early and stay up late, so early drop-offs, late check-ins, and keeping up with active pups is never a problem! My biggest thing is treating your pet or pets as part of the family here! I have a big backyard for dogs to run around, play, and get their energy out, plus two friendly dogs of my own that love making new buddies. I make sure your pets are getting plenty of playtime, attention, potty breaks, fresh water, and are fed on the exact schedule you provide so they can stay comfortable and keep their normal routine. The last thing you need is to worry if they are off schedule! I know every pet has a different personality and their own little quirks, but either way I’ll make sure they feel safe, loved, and right at home. And don’t worry about accidents and messes because they do happen sometimes and to me it’s no big deal!
About: I’m really good with both puppies and older pets because I know they need extra attention and patience. I’m also great at keeping pets calm and happy while you’re away, so you can trust me to give them all the love and care they deserve! I'm currently working part-time, so I'll have plenty of time to play with your pups! I'm available for boarding on weekends, and weekdays after 3:30! When I care for pets at my place, I make sure they have plenty of playtime, comfy spots, and regular meals. If I’m at their home, I stick to their usual routine so they feel safe and relaxed. Either way, I’m always there to give them lots of attention and love!
“I was very hesitant about leaving my cats behind during our cross-country family move, but taking them with us would have added even more stress to an already complicated situation. After signing up on Rover, I chose Sabrina because she was conveniently located nearby, had excellent reviews as a star sitter, and offered very reasonable rates. She responded to my messages quickly and was always happy to answer my questions. The week flew by, and thanks to Sabrina, I never had to worry about my kitties. She visited them twice a day, played with them, made sure they had fresh food and water, and gave them their medicine. She even earned the trust of my younger female cat, who is usually very skittish and easily frightened. I highly recommend Sabrina! She clearly loves animals, has a wonderful personality, and is someone you can truly rely on.”
“I highly recommend Kathleen M.! We used her for home visits over a weekend out of town. She came by for each visit as scheduled, spent quality/focus time with our puppies, and communicated exceptionally well with us as required. We enjoyed meeting her a few days before the scheduled visits which was very comforting before we left. She takes this work very seriously and has a great love for puppies. We will use her services again.”
“She was great always on time and took care of the puppy when we had to book her last min for an emergency last min trip out of town even asked if she needed to feed the fish while she was there Ty”
“Cassidy took care of our dog while I was away for an evening. I found Cassidy to be flexible, professional, and communicative. Other than Carolina being perfectly cared for, I couldn't tell Cassidy was in my home- meaning everything was done exactly as I would have done it.”
About: I have fostered and trained a service dogs. Many of them have graduated, and are now helping individuals manage their disabilities. I have worked extensively with dogs of all ages, from hours old to up in their teens! I work part time / per diem as an EMT. Because of this, I can be pretty flexible about when and how often I can check in on pets! On check-ins, I can feed, play, and/or take pups out for a quick bathroom break. On walks, I take pups on a walk at their leisure with lots of time for sniffing. For overnight care, I can sleep in your residence and I can take pups out roughly every 4 to 8 hours (but usually on the shorter side!).
About: Hi, I'm.cindy. I love spending time with pets and go for a hike with them. I'm originally from Colombia, I studied Economics and I'm studying English in the US. In my spare time I enjoy hiking, traveling, reading and outdoor activities. Growing up I’ve always had pets and I’ve cared for other family member's pets. I enjoy taking care of pets, take them to the park for socialization, as well as playing ball in the backyard. I will provide owalks or runs a day and play time with the pups in the park. I am an energetic undergraduate student with a flexible schedule and look forward to meeting your pets! Please feel free to contact me to discuss my services. Looking forward to hearing from you.

Cat parents share their Rover experiences - Cottondale
This is the second time Kinsley has watched our cats for us. We are very happy with everything she does and our kitties are very well-cared for! Care included feeding/water, litter cleaning, and some love/attention. She is very responsive and kept us abreast of everything, including each visit, when some decor fell off a mirror (probably cats), when there was vomit (and cleaned it up), and even noticed our cat's over-grown dew claws and trimmed them! She also took in the mail and a few packages, as well as ran the garbage can out for pick up and back. It was comforting to know everything was fine at home while we were gone. We will definitely ask her again in the future!
We couldn’t have asked for a better pet sitter! She was incredibly accommodating with our unique situation involving Penny and took the time to follow all of our care instructions exactly. She was also so patient and understanding with our shy cat, Lucy, and made sure all three of our cats were well cared for while we were away. We came home to happy, well-loved kitties and had complete peace of mind knowing they were in such great hands. We would absolutely book with her again and highly recommend her to anyone looking for a caring, reliable sitter!
Mak was amazing with our cat, Benji. She was very responsive and communicative from the start, which really helped ease our stress during the holidays. Benji is very shy, but by the end he was getting close to her—a great sign. We’re very happy to have found someone as attentive and responsible as Mak and will definitely reach out to her again. Thank you a lot!!

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.
