“Jade did a great job! This is the first time that my wife and I, had a cat/house sitter and we were very fortunate to have found Jade. She was excellent. The kiddies loved her and warmed up to her very quickly. She kept the house clean and abided by our rules during her stay. She sent us pictures of our babies, while we were gone, and kept us informed of what was happening everyday. I feel that she is very trustworthy and I would recommend her to anyone looking for a sitter. We plan on using her again.”
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've taken care of different breeds & size dogs for around 10 years now. I love animals & want to help take care of them. I have taken care of puppies, senior dogs, & ages in between. I work full time at my job. Weekends are best for me, but I can stay somewhere during the week, as long as it's not too far from my work. I also can go during my lunch to let dogs out to potty &/or check on them, as long as it's not too far from my work. I have a semi fenced in back yard. I have one dog outside & he has come inside sometimes, but hes not completelyhouse trained & I have one cat inside. They are both around 3 years old.

Cat parents share their Rover experiences - Dothan
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 .
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 , 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 .

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.
