“Alyssa is absolutely wonderful with taking care of my dogs and letting them out while I’m at work on nights! I would Highly recommend her. She is punctual, friendly, and my Dogs love her! If you want someone to trust and is highly reliable, I recommend Alyssa!”
“Jenna and Jason did a wonderful job caring for my sweet dog. They were on time, very kind, and asked all the right questions. My dog can be kind of skiddish, but they made her feel very comfortable. I will absolutely be asking them again to watch our sweet pup.”
About: I have experience staying overnight in clients’ homes to care for their pets, including senior and sick dogs who need extra love and attention. I always follow the owner’s instructions closely and make sure every pet feels safe, comfortable, and happy! I’m also happy to host pets in my own home, which is cozy and has a nice backyard for play and fresh air. I’m friendly, reliable, and treat every pet like my own💕💕🐶🐱 I currently am a senior in highschool who's unemployed so that means I have a lot of time! I'm almost always available and there when needed. I have a big fenced yard and do not have any other pets, so no need to worry about conflict with other animals! I treat every home and pet with care and respect and will make sure I keep you updated by sending you update pictures!
“Alyssa was a wonderful pet sitter while I was unexpectedly traveling. My pup loved her and she went above and beyond with the photos/communication. I couldn’t have asked for a better person to work with for my first time using Rover. Thank you Alyssa!”
“I absolutely would recommend Taylor! She was very nice and respectful of my home, and did a superb job taking care of my pups. Her hours were flexible and she was able to accommodate my needs - even though they were last minute. She’s good with animals and I would certainly trust her to watch them again in the future!”
“Kim goes above and beyond every time she watches our fur children. We were stuck out of the state longer than expected and she continued care on short notice until we returned. She even fixed our leaky hose! Thanks again, Kim, for treating our family as your own😁”
“We recently had Noel watch our two cats and she did a fantastic job! She was reliable, communicative, and clearly took great care of them. We came home to two happy, well-loved cats and a tidy space. We'd highly recommend her to anyone looking for a trustworthy, caring pet sitter!”
“Cameo was awesome with our dogs and more than willing to go above and beyond the scope of our contract with her. Super sweet person too! We will definitely use her again in the future!”

“So glad I found Rachel to help me care for my kitties while I recovered from surgery. She was so kind and helpful. The kitties loved her and she took very good care of them when I wasn’t able. I would recommend her without reservation of any kind. She’s a top notch caretaker.”

Cat parents share their Rover experiences - Derby
Stephany is kind, reliable, and professional. She cleaned up a litter mess and also just made sure the litter boxes were clean and not just emptied. It’s that extra effort I really appreciate. My cat is also pretty picky, has hidden from a lot of Rovers but she loves Stephany’s kindness!
Jenny really spent time with my cat! I have had other cat sitters (from Rover) who spent 5 or 10 minutes, but Jenny spent 25-30 minutes to give my cat some play time and lots of love. I have a camera on my front door so I know how long the sitter stays. Jenny sent regular updates and was easy to work with.
Laura checked on our cat while we were away during the holidays. Laura is very responsive to all communication. She provided daily updates with pictures (even though our cat is super shy). It was great knowing that someone was checking on him every day. Laura, thank you so much for taking care of Fez!
McKenna took great care of our 2 cats while we were out of town. She fed them, played with them, and gave them attention. She left our house just as clean as when we left and took care of a excited eater's vomit. The cats love having her visit and we know they are in good hands.

The average cost for Cat Sitting in Derby on Rover is $11.1 per visit (as of July 2026). However, all sitters set their own rates based on experience, location, and availability.

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 Derby. On Rover:
- 93% 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.
