“Kylee did a wonderful job watching our cats while we went on vacation. We have three cats, one boy and two girls. She cared for them for four nights. She provided daily updates and sent pictures as well. It was nice knowing they were well cared for while we were away. She is now our first choice for care for our cats when we are out of town.”
About: Hi! I’m Allie. I’ve owned and cared for dogs and cats my entire life (over 10+ years of hands-on experience with everything from energetic puppies to senior pets). On top of a lifetime of personal pet ownership, I worked professionally as a veterinary assistant for 3 years. Beyond clinical experience, I'm an active-duty Air Force service member, so reliability, discipline, and attention to detail are second nature to me. Whether your pet needs high-energy play, structured care, or a gentle touch, they will be in safe, highly trained hands. Having worked in a vet clinic, I am comfortable and confident handling: -Puppies and kittens (routine setup, basic training support, energy outlets) -Senior pets and animals with special health or mobility needs -Oral/topical medication administration (if applicable) -Spotting signs of anxiety, distress, or health changes early What You Can Expect: Clear & Frequent Communication: Regular photo and text updates so you never have to wonder how your pet is doing. Respect & Security: Total respect for your home, schedule, and specific instructions. Tailored Care: Daily routines built entirely around your pet's comfort level and regular feeding/walk schedules. I look forward to meeting you and giving your fur babies five-star care while you're away! I am active-duty military with a consistent schedule (Mon–Fri, 0700–1630). Evenings & Weekends: Fully open for drop-in visits and dog walking after 16:30 on weekdays, and completely flexible all day Saturday and Sunday. Drop-In Visits & Walks: Available for feeding, exercise, play, and medication administration while you are away or out for the evening. As a former veterinary assistant, safety is my top priority. I am trained to handle emergencies, manage feeding routines, and administer oral or topical medications. When house sitting or dropping in, I keep your home secure, clean, and quiet. I always double-check leashes, harnesses, and yard gates before letting pets outside. You can expect regular text and photo updates during every stay so you know your pets are safe, comfortable, and well cared for!
“Reagan was so great with our kitties. They instantly took a liking to her and were well taken care of. She was very communicative and shared daily updates with pics. Highly recommend”
About: I've had a cat in my life since the day I was born, my parents still own the one we got when I was 13 (he's now 19 and going strong). I also walked a neighbour's dog from 12 to 21 (a lhasa apso) and have experience walking other dogs in a range of sizes, from papillon up to a 100+lb show golden retriever. Currently living the housewife life so schedule is flexible as heck. My own animals have a flexible feeding schedule in that they don't like food to be late, but if it's early they are thrilled. If your dog is crate trained, I'm willing and able to continue that as needed. Open to whatever walk length is needed for the pet in caring for. Willing to walk cats too if your kitty is leash trained (one of mine is and loves his outside time).
About: I have been taking care of my friends dog for 4 years. I love taking dogs on walks and I can drop in your dogs and check on them! I can do boarding but mostly on weekends since I work Monday through Friday until 4:30pm I can take dogs on walks after work and weekends during mornings and nights as well! I can check on them during the evenings as well I will follow instructions that are provided to me by the owners! I will build a relationship between the dogs and myself and the owners!
About: Professional boarding and daycare experience. I’m patient with puppies, seniors, nervous dogs, and high-energy pets, always adapting to each pet’s individual needs. My work schedule varies, but I’m flexible and can often provide pet care on weekdays and weekends, depending on my schedule. I appreciate clear communication before booking. I focus on a safe, calm environment by following instructions, keeping pets on their routine, and providing supervision, comfort, and respectful care in your home.
“Laine was amazing, she made sure my shy cat felt not only at ease but happy. My cat is usually shy but he is completely in love with her to the point that after I came back he kept looking for her!! She is the best pet sitter I've had far best, definitely will ask her to pet sit again in a second.”
About: I've taken care of dogs of every kind since I was 10. Neighbors, friends and family have relied on me to walk, feed and bathe their pets. I am currently in school still but get out early. I am available for walking your dogs anytime after 2:30p.m. I am also available for boarding I have a friendly dog a long with some 6 year old that loves animals along with playing with animals and super friendly with them
About: I've grown up taking care of and loving animals, and have always wanted to go into a profession where I can do that forever. It's always made me happy to care for dogs and cats, and I'm so excited to be able to help other dog and cat parents take care of their babies!! I've dog sat both newborn puppies and raptor puppies and one senior dog so I can handle anything they throw at me for sure!! I am currently unemployed because I want to find the right job for me, so I have all the time in the world to tune into your pets wants and needs!! Maybe I can turn this into my full time job! Currently I do not offer my home to take care of your babies, but that is only because I have 2 dogs and four cats already and I feel that would overwhelm any dog or cat that stayed here! Although I have family I live with and a fenced in yard so they roam as much as they can of course and are very happy babies. My family takes care of them while I care for your pets at your home so it's a win win situation!

The average cost of Cat Sitting in Derby is $20 per visit as of November 2026. Most bookings cost between $11 and $28 per visit. On Rover, sitters set their own rates based on factors such as their experience, the length of care, the number of pets, and your pet’s specific needs.

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.

- 89% 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 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.
