“Kinsley was a fantastic kitty sitter! She is very responsive and super easy to work with. She ensured our cats were well-cared for and spent time loving on them. She gave daily updates, let me know when one of our cats vomited, and went above and beyond to clean up. We were at ease knowing we could trust Kinsley to handle our critters and keep us informed of everything!”
“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!!”
About: I am home most days of the week, and will gladly be flexible to any schedule you have! I enjoy caring for all types of animals as my family has had a wide range of pets my entire life, such as dogs, cats, squirrels, birds, and many other interesting fur babies. In my pet care experience, I have been an owner of a dachshund that had an arthritic spine and I had to take special note of what could aggravate her condition, so I had to work with her and her needs. I also had a dog with a history of seizures, and had to monitor him closely for his medication needs as well as watch for triggers in his surroundings. My entire family loves animals and we have been pet owners my entire life. I am home with my dogs most days and try to find fun activities to keep them entertained, and I’d be more than happy to do the same for your babies! I have a large fenced backyard and two friendly pups that can keep your fur baby company. I can always separate them if needed, though, should any of them show signs of stress or aggravation.
About: I have had dogs my whole life so I have lots of hands-on experience caring for dogs of different ages, sizes, and personalities. I’m comfortable with feeding, walks, playtime, medication administration , and keeping dogs on their normal routines. I’m also experienced with dogs that need extra patience, attention, or a little time to feel comfortable with someone new. I genuinely love animals and treat every dog like they’re part of my own family. I grew up with dachshunds but now I have 4 rescue dogs a few over 100lbs! I am a pharmacy tech so you can feel safe knowing that I can follow detailed instructions regarding any meds that need given. I currently work full time as a pharmacy tech so I am able to check in on pets daily around my schedule. Typically mornings before 8, and anytime after 4:30 Monday- Friday. Anytime on weekends Over the years I have checked in on friends and families pets while they are out of town. Typically I will check on them several times through out the day, letting them in and out to use the restroom, making sure they have food and water, and spending a few minutes playing with them so that they aren’t feeling alone the whole time! I do. It keep any pets inside my home do to having several pets of my own.
“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.”
“I'm so glad I found Terri for my diva Harper. I had to leave her for a few days and Terri stepped in for me and gave my girl lots of attention. If I ever leave her again I will definitely booked with Terri again.”
“Madison came by for a meet and greet for our cat but we ended up needing her for the dogs instead. She was great about adjusting to our need. She played with them and they seemed to love loved her. Would use again!”
About: I have cared for pets my entire life. My family has always had pets of some kind from dogs and cats to fish and lizards. For many years, I have cared for my own pets as well as many friends, family and neighbors. I have always been the "go to" person for people to trust their pets with. I am a stay at home mother of two small children and do not work. I have around the clock availability 7 days a week to care for your babies. For in home care, I have a fenced in back yard and two fur babies of my own to play with yours and keep them company. I am able to crate them or let them sleep openly, to your preference.

I can clean up after them, make sure they are secure, ensure they get plenty of exercise and attention and will always have clean water and food when instructed.
About: Hi, I'm Rebecca! I've cared for pets of all kind throughout my life. I live in Ashford, AL and have 2 amazing Golden Retrievers and an 11 year old rabbit. I work throughout the week, but I am almost always available on the weekends to help. My family and I are newer to the Ashford area and I'm new to Rover as well. Since we're home on the weekends, and with my experience with dogs, cats, rabbits, birds, poultry, and other small mammals, I figured that I'd give Rover a try! I'm happy to provide any references. Over the years I've done pet sitting, fostered, and owned pets of my own. I'm here to help you with your pets if you're away for an extended period of time on the weekends. Need to go to a baseball tournament? No worries, I can tend to your pets so that you don't have to rush home. I can either walk your dog, or let them out and play with them (and feed them of course)! I can also help train your puppy using positive reinforcement! Let me know how I can help! I am available on most weekends for drop-ins from 7am - 7pm. Drop-ins will be from 20 - 30 minutes. At least 24 hours are needed for bookings and cancellations. If you do not have a fenced yard, I will require that a leash and harness (or collar) to be available for dogs. If dogs need to be walked, it is assumed that your dog will be familiar with and well-behaved while walking on a leash.
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!
About: With over 20 years of pet care experience, I treat every animal like my own. As a teacher, I’m patient, attentive, and naturally nurturing—and animals tend to warm up to me quickly. You can count on reliable, loving care while you’re away! I am a teacher whose 19 year old fur baby recently passed away. I have the time and can incorporate what I am missing by loving on your pets. I will care for your pets as if they were my very own. Follow your directions and you can rest assured they will be loved.

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.

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.

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 .
