“Jennifer took such great care of my cat while I was away for a long weekend. She sent great updates and photos. As a bonus, Smokey really seemed to love her company! I’ll absolutely request her as a sitter next time I travel.”
About: Taking care of pets has always been a giant part of my life. I currently have two cats at home, but I have also owned dogs in the past. I also grew up helping care for horses, cows, and donkeys on my family's farm, so I am very comfortable around all animals. I will always treat you and your animals with the greatest care and respect. I am senior accounting student at UAH. After spending nearly 8 years working in sales, I left my position to focus on finishing my college degree. I would love spend my time outside of class helping people care for their pets. I take your pets car and safety very seriously. I have two indoor cats, so I am very vigilant when it comes to ensuring pets are safe and secure. This same level of safety is also applied to dogs when I take them outside of the house.
About: I've taken care of pets since I was a kid, and I have been pet-sitting professionally for seven years. I always want the pets in my care to feel safe and comfortable, and my gentle approach helps even the most skittish cats warm up to me quickly! I regularly pet-sit several cats when their humans go on extended vacations, and I'm intentional about giving them attention. I have two cats of my own, and they love to play! I'm comfortable administering medication and monitoring for any health concerns you may have, and I can adapt to any specific feeding routines you may have. Of my two cats, one is chunky and one is skinny, so I'm used to specialized feeding rituals that ensure everyone gets enough to eat! I'm available for drop-ins and long visits throughout the day. Because I work short gigs as a tutor, ballet teacher, and babysitter, my schedule is pretty flexible! I am not currently boarding in my own home, but I am happy to do overnight stays or multiple visits a day. I am naturally very neat and organized, and I have a strong attention to detail to ensure your home is kept exactly as you like it.
“Felicity is an animal whisperer! She won over our shyest kitty who never accepts pets from strangers. All the photos she shared while we were gone made me smile and put my mind at ease.”
About: Hi! My name is McKayla, I am 25 years old and I have owned animals my whole life! I currently have 4 cats, 2 dogs, and one bearded dragon of my own. I have daily experience with medication for cats and dogs, and daily experience with specifically picky animals of all ages 🥰 I have a Morning part-time job where my hours extend from 4:30 am - 1 pm of not being available besides Sundays. I am more than comfortable with afternoon/evening/overnight sits and watches! If needed, my house is big with a fenced in yard where I can keep clientele animals separate from my own. MY animals are of no threat to others - however from past experience - it is preferred that boarding at my house be a very last option! I prefer to care for peoples animals in their own home to avoid any change of environment to cause anxiety or depression in your animals. In the past, the animals I have had board at my house will refuse to eat, play, or use the restroom. This breaks my heart to see your fur babies experience this, so anything we can work out to avoid will work with me! 💖
About: I have pet sat for various friends and family from daily check in with the pets to overnight stays in home. I have also owned various pets myself from cats, dogs, fish, lizards, etc. I enjoy making sure the pets are happy and taken care of, while following any rules and requests left by the pet owner! I am available to do overnight pet care if the pet owner is out of town, visits and stays during the day to check on pets and let them out for potty breaks, walks, playing, etc. I like to keep an eye on pets when I am caring for them, making sure they are not getting into places they do not belong. I will play with them with toys and in the yard if needed. When staying the night I will make sure pets are where they are supposed to be, fed, etc.
About: I have several clients and I love watching other people pets while they are away, and want to make sure your pet still gets love I love to send updates, and pictures so you know how your sweet babies are doing and so I can keep you in the know. Your babies will be in great hands and I will give them lots of love while you are gone. I do work Full Time for the Rocket City Trash Pandas as their Merchandise Coordinator I will walk them, give them lots of cuddles and love, and they can even sleep in the bed with me if you allow it
About: I’ve loved animals my whole life and have been working with them since I was a young teenager! Over the years, I’ve gained hands-on experience at a dog boarding facility, a veterinary clinic, and now full-time at a local animal shelter, caring for pets of all personalities and needs. Through fostering, I became even more familiar with cats, and at home, I share my life with two dogs and three cats. I’ve had several long-standing pet-sitting clients before moving to this area outside of Rover, and I love meeting new pets and building bonds with them. I’m confident administering medications and giving attentive, loving care to make sure your furry friends are happy, healthy, and loved while you’re away. If your pet has fur, I’ve got it covered! Pet care fits naturally into my daily routine! I work full-time, so I’m available for morning check-ins or walks before 8 AM and evening visits after 5 PM. On weekends, I’m wide open and happy to schedule drop-ins or walks based on what works best for you and your pet. I may also be able to accommodate a midday walk or check-in between 12 PM and 2 PM, depending on your location and your pet’s needs. I’m also available on government holidays, and I’m always happy to communicate and find a schedule that keeps your pet comfortable and well cared for! I care for every pet as if they were my own, always prioritizing their safety, comfort, and happiness. I strive to make every interaction safe, fun, and fulfilling for the animal while respecting their individual needs and boundaries. On walks, I stay alert and attentive, ensuring pets remain safe at all times and calmly leaving any situation that makes them seem uncomfortable or stressed. During drop-in visits, I closely observe each pet’s overall well-being, including their behavior, energy level, and routine, and I will promptly report any concerns to the owner. My goal is to provide reliable, compassionate care so pets feel secure and well cared for in their home or while out on walks.
“Ashya was awesome! She took such amazing care of our little man Elvis. She gave him his medicine every day (a pill by mouth to a cat — not the easiest thing in the world), was super attentive and responsive, sent pictures every day, and really showed a lot of care and love for our kitty. We had no complaints and will 100% ask her to cat sit for us again in the future.”
About: I am comfortable dealing with all sizes and personalities of dogs and cats. I've always had pets throughout my life from Newfoundlands to kittens. Im currently working part time to pay for my expenses. More than enough time to keep the fur babies very happy. I prefer mornings but can be flexible. Babysitting the doggo is no issue for me. I have enough experience to know what to expect. Can't do it at my domicile though.
“Juyne is so trustworthy, and I always have peace of mind knowing my boys are in good hands! I know they love her visits, and I couldn’t ask for a better pet sitter!”
“Kaitlyn did a wonderful job with our cat O'Malley! We loved the pictures she sent us of him, and it eased our minds so much to know he was well taken care of. We'll definitely be asking her to sit for him again soon.”
About: I have taken care of animals since as far back I can remember I have also worked in the vet for sometime now I have experience puppies to senior animals I'm currently working an overnight job I can work with your schedule if needed I just need to know advance so I can make time to help you out with your fur babies. I have two friendly dogs I do not have a fence for the outside but I still can walk your fur baby's around and play with them outside so they can get enough exercise and play time.

Cat parents share their Rover experiences - Huntsville
Abby was amazing with my cats! They are both skittish around new people normally. Pete took right to her and came out for every visit. Tucker normally hides under the bed until everyone is gone, but he came out to say hi a few times. I felt completely comfortable being away with Abby watching the boys and I got some great shots of them. I will definitely book her when traveling in the future if she is available’
Alexis is absolutely wonderful, and I will book her again. This was the second time she sat my two cats, and she really got to know their personalities (quirky cats!) and draw them out. I appreciate her care and attention to them, and it allows me to enjoy my vacation!
Amazing pet sitter again! I’ve had Ella do drop-in visits for a bunch of vacations and she never disappoints! This was our longest yet, but she took on the additional requests (extra mail, trash, doing cat litter, etc) with no issues at all. Cannot recommend her enough!!!
Elise was such a caring and attentive pet sitter. We have a cat and a four-month old puppy that she watched over a few days. She took notes with our visit beforehand, cleaned up puppy accidents, provided detailed reports with many photos, communicated clearly, and loved on our sweet animals. Leaving our pets is always a scary and sad feeling, but Elise made sure they felt loved and comfortable while we were away. We would recommend her to anyone we know!

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.
