About: I have always been a huge pet lover and have owned many different pets from dogs to pigs. I have many people who trust me to bathe, walk, and keep their dogs. I hope to see your puppy next! I am currently a student at UTHSC for Dental Hygiene so anytime after 3-5 in the weekdays I am available and always available on the weekends!!! I always treat peoples dogs the way i would want my dog to be treated. If i’m dog sitting I will give the best care for your dog and that goes for walking and checking in on the dogs as well
“Abby was fantastic with my baby! She was patient with my incredibly stubborn Shiba, she was caring and attentive, always showed up on time for delivering timed medication, and I will not hesitate to book her the next time I’m out of town!”
About: I am a pet person! I’ve had dogs since I was a child and have cared for my own dogs and cats throughout my adult life. Animals have always been part of my family, and I truly love caring for fur babies of all ages and personalities. I treat every pet like my own, with patience, affection, attention, cuddles, and lots of love. I understand how important it is for pet parents to feel confident their pets are safe, happy, and well cared for, and I take that responsibility seriously. I’m known in my community for taking care of friends’ pets when they’re away. Pet care fits very naturally into my daily routine because I work from home and have a flexible schedule, which allows me to give pets lots of attention, supervision, walks, and companionship throughout the day. I live in a safe, walkable neighborhood and love taking dogs on walks, playing with them, and making sure they feel comfortable and loved. My home is very pet-friendly, I have a large, fenced in backyard, and I genuinely enjoy having animals as part of my daily life. I provide a safe, loving, and comfortable environment where pets are treated like family. I have a secure fenced-in backyard with plenty of green space for dogs to safely play, explore, and get exercise. Pets will receive lots of attention, supervision, affection, walks, playtime, and care throughout the day. I’m happy to follow each pet owner’s routines, feeding schedules, medication instructions, and any special preferences to help pets feel comfortable and secure. If needed, I can also crate pets according to the owner’s instructions and comfort level.
“I can’t thank Adel enough for taking care of Duke. The pictures of Duke during each visit gave me piece of mind so we could enjoy our trip. I highly recommend Adel and Julia!!!”
About: I’ve had a deep love and passion for animals since I was a child. I’m known to take in strays and help them either find their home or get them to a shelter so they can be taken care of . I’m very patient with every kind of animal , puppies and juveniles are my favorite seeing as though they have the most energy . I’m currently working part-time so I have all the time to sit in house with pups or cats. I’m available to board on weekends and can even provide pickup and drop off services. I have a fenced in yard and if need be I’m open to watching them from your home. All animals are free roam unless you want them crated .
“Jenny is THE best ever! Will use her as long as she’ll have me. My dogs look so happy in the pics she sends. I know they’re in good hands. She is communicative and flexible as my travel may require an extra visit some days. I hesitate to write such a glowing review for fear she will get too busy. ❤️🐶🦮🐕🦺🐕”
“Samantha is amazing as always, our cat Chimney loves her so much that he greets her at the door. Will always be using her since our furbabies have gotten used to her and she loves them as much as my partner and I.”
“Titeara was AMAZING. She was like family to my babies. They were so comfortable with her, especially my shy one. She sent many updates and photos and even cleaned up behind them, without asking. She was great and made me being away care free. She was very respectful and treated my house as her own and my babies as her own as well. She is a blessing for sure.”
“Lei was absolutely wonderful! Her communication was excellent. I know our pets felt at home with her. She and Chris (her husband, who is retired military) did so much more than taking care of our pets. They also watered my flowers, took our garbage to the street, notified us of a problem with our house. Lei even left the prettiest card accompanied by a tiny bunny and vase of flowers. Thank you, Lei and Chris, for your kindness and attention to detail while we were away)”
About: Back in 2014, I attended Tennessee College of Applied Technology, graduated early with my diploma in Assistance Animal Laboratory Technicians, also with a certification in Purina Mills Animal Care Course. I have done an internship with North Shelby Animal Shelter as well as Bartlett Animal Shelte, where I took stray dogs/ abandoned out for walks and to play. Most of the dogs I encountered with at the shelter were sweet and loving dogs that just need a friend and time to spend with a person. I treated those dogs as my own. I have also intern at University of Tennessee Health and Science Center taking care of rodents, pigs, and other animals. I am someone who is mature, candid and who has integrity. Everyday I work to improve myself and my skills which is part of maturing and becoming better at what I do, this is why I want clients to choose me. I will treat your pets as my own pets. I will love and care for them, as if they where my own.
About: We are a married couple in our 40s interested in house/pet-sitting together. We have pet-sat for a few NC and TN families for the past several years, and both of us had pet-sat before we met as well. Zachary works from home and so will be around the house much of the day if dogs need a mid-day walk or meal. Denny wakes up early and can feed and walk dogs in the early morning. Between us, we have experience with cats, dogs, fish, birds, rodents, rabbits, livestock, reptiles, and amphibians. We are willing to work with other animals as well. We prefer to sleep at the pet-owner's home when needed, as this means that we’re around and available for the pets at various times throughout the day. Denny also does drop-in care and dog-walking. Zachary has experience training dogs and volunteering with cats as well. Looking forward to meeting you! Zachary has a flexible work schedule and works from home. Denny is available to care for pets in the mornings, sometimes late afternoons, evenings, and weekends. We both enjoy walking and hiking and would love to take your dogs for walks. We don’t bring pets into our home but prefer overnight care in the pets’ home and are also open to drop-in care and walks. We are both very gentle with dogs and cats and enjoy lots of cuddles with pets, and we also make sure to take them for walks if desired.
About: Hi! My name is Lisa, and I’ve been caring for pets for over 30 years. I have experience with dogs, cats, and I always treat them like family. Whether it’s walking, feeding, playing, or just keeping them company, I make sure your pet feels safe and loved while you’re away. I’m reliable, responsible, and happy to follow any special instructions. Your pet’s happiness and well-being are my top priority! Hi! I'm a freelancer with a flexible schedule, which means I can spend plenty of quality time with your pet. Your furry friend will never feel lonely — I’ll be there to give them the attention, care, and love they need while you're away. Whether it's playtime, walks, or just relaxing together, I’ll make sure they feel safe and happy. I have a large fenced backyard where your dog can play safely, and they'll also have a friendly Bichon Frise to keep them company! !
About: I’m new to Rover, but not new to pet care. I’ve grown up with animals my entire life and have over 10 years of hands-on experience caring for dogs and cats. My family has always had dogs and a cat, and now that I’m in college, I live with a roommate who has a dog as well — animals have always been a constant part of my everyday life. One thing I hear often is that pets tend to warm up to me quickly. I’m naturally calm, patient, and attentive, and I take the time to let animals approach me at their own pace. I pay close attention to body language and personality, which helps pets feel safe and understood, especially if they’re shy, anxious, or sensitive to new people or environments. I’ve cared for pets of all sizes, ages, and temperaments, including overnight stays and extended care. Whether your pet needs structured routines, playful energy, or quiet companionship, I adjust to what makes them feel most comfortable. Animals have always been a grounding presence in my life, and caring for and forming bonds with them is something I truly enjoy — not just something I do. I’m currently on winter break with very open availability, flexible scheduling, and the ability to accommodate last-minute requests. I’m available for walks, drop-ins, sitting, and extended care, and I prioritize being present and attentive rather than rushing through visits. I prioritize safety, routine, and comfort in every aspect of pet care. I follow instructions closely and am mindful of details like doors, leashes, feeding schedules, and any special needs or medications. I treat both pets and homes with respect and care, and I communicate clearly so owners feel confident and at ease while they’re away. My goal is always to create a calm, secure environment where pets feel genuinely comfortable.
“Hannah was great in taking care of our cats while we were out of town! She made everything simple and eased any worries we had about leaving our cats for two weeks. She's awesome and so sweet!”
“Akilah was amazing! I had to leave town last minute and was so fortunate that Akilah was able to do drop in visits with my cat. She went above and beyond, problem solving when I forgot some supplies. She checked on my cat multiple times and she sent me photos and videos to keep me in the loop of how my fur baby was doing. He really liked her and when I got home he was very calm. I was very pleased with her services and will definitely become a repeat customer. Highly recommend!”

About: I’ve taken care of dogs since I was 12. My family has always relied on me to watch their animals. When my sister goes out of town, I always watch her 4 dogs. When my other sister goes out of town, I feed her cats and love on them while she’s gone. I’m a full time college student at baptist, majoring in nursing. I only go to school on Tuesday and Thursday every week for 2 hours, so I’m really always free! I have a fenced yard. I have 2 dogs of my own, and they love making new friends! We always go on car rides every night because that is their favorite thing to do! They also love playing outside, and they love going to the dog park!
About: I’ve spent the last decade surrounded by dogs of all shapes and sizes, which has taught me that every pet has its own unique personality. Whether it’s a high-energy puppy who needs to play or a senior dog who just wants a quiet companion, I pride myself on being patient and observant. My experience comes from 10 years of caring for my own four dogs and several years of trusted house-sitting for family friends. I’m comfortable with everything from medication schedules to long walks and messy feedings. As a future educator, I bring a level of responsibility and calm energy to every home, ensuring your pets feel safe, loved, and—most importantly—like they’re having fun while you’re away! I am currently looking for a summer job, Pet care will be my main source of income until I find one or until college rolls around! I am very good at reading a pets behavior, I can tell when they're being playful and when they're not. I have never been bitten by a pet in any way other than playful and have a very keen eye for escape artists. I will chase your Pet down if they do manage to slip out. I love getting to play with animals and love on them, it makes my whole day!

Frequently asked questions about Rover
As of September 2026, there are 326 sitters on Rover offering Cat Sitting across Island Forty. Enter your ZIP code to see which available sitters are closest to your home.
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 Island Forty. On Rover:
- 95% 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.
