“Ruby did a great job caring for our cat while we were out of town. She is professional and kind, and treated him with the utmost sweetness and care. This was my first time going on a trip since having a cat and I was very nervous about how he would fare while we were gone. Thanks to Ruby, I had peace of mind after each check-in in which she sent lots of pictures and gave me a detailed description of how he was doing. She did everything just the way I asked her to, and went above and beyond as well. This was the best possible cat sitting experience I could have hoped for!”
About: I believe every dog deserves more than just a sitter, they deserve a friend. I take time to build trust, understand their unique personality, and provide patient, attentive care so you can have peace of mind knowing your pup is in good hands. My schedule is flexible. I am available for daily walking, check-ins, playtime, anything needed to help your pets feel safe and comfortable! I can pet sit on the weekends and certain days of the week. I understand how important it is to have someone reliable in your home caring for your furry family members. I’ll follow your instructions carefully, maintain your pet’s normal routine, provide updates, and make sure they receive the love, attention, and care they deserve while you’re away.
“Ashley did drop in visits for my cat Gingersnap while I was away for two days, and she did a great job! Very trustworthy, and super quick to respond to messages, which really set my mind at ease. She also sent pictures each time she dropped in, which also was an added source of reassurance. I highly recommend her services! :D”
“Britiany took GREAT care of our sweet kitty boys while we were gone for the weekend. She was very detail oriented and left report cards of each of her visits and sent us pictures of our fluffy boys. She took extra time to play with them and try to wear them out before the 4th of July fireworks got started, so hopefully our kitty who’s afraid of storms would be too tied to care! So very kind and thoughtful! We will definitely book Britiany again in the future!”
About: What sets me apart is my extensive hands-on experience caring for animals in both veterinary and everyday settings. I graduated from Auburn University with a degree in Animal Science Pre-Vet and have worked as a veterinary assistant and kennel technician, caring for up to 40 dogs and cats at a time. I’m comfortable with animals of all sizes and personalities and have experience administering medications, monitoring health and behavior, and recognizing when something may not be quite right. My love for animals goes far beyond work. I’ve volunteered walking and fostering dogs through the humane society and have run my own pet-care business caring for dogs, cats, and horses. I also have extensive veterinary experience with horses, including working at Hagyard Equine Medical Institute and Alabama Performance Horse Services. Animals have always been a huge part of my life, and I’ll treat your pets with the same attention, patience, and care I would want for my own. My schedule is flexible, which allows me to make time for walks, drop-in visits, feeding, playtime, and plenty of attention throughout the day. I’m also happy to work with each pet’s normal routine and schedule so they feel as comfortable as possible while you’re away. I know how important it is to trust the person caring for your pets because I feel the same way about my own! I have a cat, Edo, and a dog, Henderson, who are both very loved and have taught me that every animal has their own personality, routine, and needs. I always want pets in my care to feel as safe and comfortable as I would want Edo and Henderson to feel with someone else. When caring for pets in a client’s home, I’m respectful of both their space and their normal routine. I follow all feeding, walking, medication, and care instructions closely and make sure pets receive plenty of attention while also respecting their boundaries. With my veterinary and animal-care experience, safety is always a priority, and I pay close attention to changes in behavior, appetite, or overall well-being.
“We needed a last minute check in on our pup this Saturday, and Jessica was quick to respond and accept. She has stayed multiple overnight visits in our home to care for our dog. We appreciate her genuine care and affection she always shows our pup. Thank you, Jessica. We appreciate YOU!!!”
About: I’ve cared for small and medium-sized dogs for years, and I truly enjoy every walk, cuddle, and wag. Friends, neighbors, and family trust me to look after their pups when they’re away, knowing I’ll give them the same care and attention I give my own pets. I’m experienced with a variety of temperaments—from energetic little firecrackers to calm couch companions—and I always make sure they feel loved, safe, and happy. Whether it’s feeding, playtime, or just keeping their tails wagging while you’re gone, your pup will be treated like family. I work from home, so my schedule is flexible, and I’m available most days and evenings. That means your pets get plenty of attention, playtime, and care throughout the day. I also offer overnight stays in your home, so your cats and dogs can stay comfortable in their own space and keep their normal routines while you’re away. I don’t host pets in my home—I come to yours so your cats and dogs can stay in the comfort of their own space. I understand how important it is to keep their routines steady, and I treat every home and pet with the utmost respect and care. I have one sweet cat, Norree, and years of experience caring for both cats and small to medium-sized dogs. You can count on me to follow your instructions carefully, keep things clean and secure, and give your pets plenty of love and attention while you’re away.
About: Growing up I had experience with a lot of types of animals, from cats, dogs, sheep, pigs, cows and horses. In my adult life, I have had a lab mix and have had 4 boxers (3 currently still in the home) and a siamese mixed cat. I learned a lot about dog behavior when I got my first boxer through training, and feel like that has helped me with other dogs too. Two of my current boxers are seniors and they take meds so I am familiar with those types of things and my other one is 8 months old so I am currently also in the puppy phases as well. I do have a full-time job. Evenings and weekends are the best time for me on some days. I often work from home later in the week so I can be flexible those days. I am definitely open to chatting about options. I will keep my calendar up to date based on my availability. If your pups are coming to my house, I have a fenced in yard. I do have a pool, but I go outside with all pups for safety reasons. If your dog loves to swim let me know! I also have a quiet neighborhood for a nice leashed walk. I do have a lot of stairs so if you have a senior dog that has mobility issues my house might not be the best option. If they go out on a leash this would be less of an issue b/c I can take them for a walk out front. I crate my puppy when I am gone, and can crate your dog when/if you would like me too. I would like any special instructions about medications/food/behavior etc that are specific to your pets. I would need any specific instructions for your in home stays with your pets.
About: I have raised multiple dogs and cats into their senior years. I worked on a farm caring for multiple types of animals for two years. I'm currently a senior at UAB so I am available on Sunday, Monday, Wednesday, Friday, and Saturday. Working with pets while studying what I love is both a blessing and a joy. At my home, we have an invisible fence to keep our dog safe. Currently, we also have used a crate and sleeping place for training
About: I have cared for a variety of animals and am comfortable caring for any pet (including exotic or uncommon), any age, any size, any level of care, and any personality! I have past experience caring for senior animals (including dogs, cats, and horses) as well as animals under age 1 (including dogs and cats). Although I am not offering training services, I have experience training and am willing to uphold any training regimen. I have experience shadowing a household pet veterinarian as well as an equine veterinarian. I also have farm animal care experience. I love playtime and am very attentive! I am very excited to care for your pet! I’m currently working full-time (3 12 hr shifts/week). I am available for boarding weekends and weekdays after 7 pm. My apartment is perfect for boarding! I am available for boarding some weekdays all day, but I will need notice 5 days and to coordinate in advance for boarding on a weekday before 7 pm due to shifting schedule days. I am available to sit weekends and after 7 pm on weekdays. Can do daytime feedings or walks 2 or 3 times a day. For boarding, I am in a one bedroom apartment with no other pets and decent play space. I have no toys, litter boxes, or cat trees so will need to provide their own. I live next to a large unfenced park. The apartment is clean and tidy and safe for pets. The apartment building also has a pet bathing station available if your pet needs cleaning. If you are concerned with a public bathing station, I am perfectly comfortable bathing your pet in the bath in my apartment. Please, let me know of any health or hygiene issues beforehand. Medications/allergies/health concerns are extremely important to me. For sitting, I will clean any pet messes if needed. Require a decently clean home and closer distance if overnight sitting is needed. Please, let me know of any concerns ahead of time. For walks, please let me know an estimated average walk time for your pet so that they are comfortable and happy!
About: Hello, my name is Kuvo. I have lived with cats my entire life and currently own five of them. When neighbors or family members are away, I occasionally take over to make sure they are well fed and treated. Experienced with many different types of cats; this includes kittens, aggressive, wild, neurotic and/or disabled cats. I have college in the mornings Monday through Thursday, but I'm free the rest of the time. If there are any sudden inconveniences with schedule then I will notify as soon as possible. (Additionally, my name is Kuvo, but Lydia is fine. Your pet is my priority, so I hope a name will not disturb the service provided.) There are certain times for engaging with cats and certain times to provide them with distance. I hope to prevent stress while also giving them the proper attention they need. I am never too far and know where they are.

About: I always tell my clients that I will treat their animals like my own. I want your pets experience to feel comforting, enjoyable, and reliable. I have pet sit for 8 years now. I fit it in mostly on weekends now that I have a dog of my own but I could potentially do it full time in the near future. I want to state that I do not stay overnight with your dog but will give them the needed attention and care multiple times a day and be right back to do the same the following day. I have a fenced in yard for my dog and a doggy door for her to let herself in and out during the day. I don’t leave her longer than 5 hours. I believe pets thrive off of human interaction and we are their best friend and all they know. Trust in me to give your pet a good time while you’re away. I will work off of you and your pets needs.
About: I am very versatile in the field of dog sitting! I’ve dog sat for owners who have puppies up to 110 pounds dogs! I definitely love em all :)!! I work a part time job usually in the evenings! I am a teacher during the school year :)! Right now, my other job is typically 4 pm-10pm. I care for each dog as if it’s my own! They all have a special place in my heart :)! But I care for each pet exactly how the owner asks!
“Madison did a fantastic job taking care of our 2 cats. She communicated very well, was thorough, and went above and beyond to make sure they were well taken care of while we were out of town. Highly recommended and will happily book with her again.”

About: I recently went on a trip for my birthday and found this app as a resort for my animals while i was off. i was so happy with this app and i decided to sign myself up for it since i have a strong love for animals and i am a college student, at UAB, so it’s easy to fit my weird schedule. I have always loved animals since i opened my eyes as a baby. I have grown up with many different animals like dogs, cats, birds, lizards, frogs, turtles, and fish. I love each and every animal equally. I am currently working at P.F. Chang’s as a cook, part time, I am available majority during the late afternoon and night. I have 2 days off in the week which are Tuesdays and Thursdays. at the moment i have an orange tabby cat, a pitbull german shepherd mix puppy, and a soft shell turtle. I have trained my dog to do many tricks and be disciplined as well.
About: hiii! I was an animal shelter volunteer for a little over 7 years! I am very comfortable around all types of animals, poop etc. doesn’t bother me either! I think a person watching your animals shouldn’t just “watch” them but spend quality time with them! It can be scary for animals being left with an unfamiliar face so making the experience as enjoyable as possible ensures that they will be more comfortable next time! i also already go to the dog park every other day and sometimes every day! we absolutely love going (me and my dog sookie)!! I am a college student but thankfully all my classes are online! I don’t typically prefer weekends but if needed then I will be there! I am free 90% of the time! For the cats I have plenty of scratch posts and things they can play with. I also have cats of my own they love making friends! For dogs, I have a crate and large backyard with a lead post! they are allowed on couches and the bed if they want to go that route! Animals will show clear signs of discomfort and my responsibility is to listen and adhere to that

I highly recommend Caroline to anyone looking for a top-notch pet sitter. She recently watched my cat, Lea, and did a great job. She was patient with my cat’s “ways” (sorry she’s not the most sociable!), but Caroline was on top with the visit cards and pictures, and very reliable. It's such a relief to find a sitter you can trust. Thank you so much, Caroline, for taking such wonderful care of my baby Lea!
Kaitlyn was amazing with Stevie and Garfield! She kept me updated, sent pictures, and treated them like they were her own. It made being away so much easier knowing they were getting lots of love and attention. I came home to two happy cats and a completely stress-free experience. I’d absolutely trust Kaitlyn to watch them again and highly recommend her to anyone looking for a pet sitter!
Katherine always takes great care of my cat Lily and makes sure she is fed, safe and has plenty of attention. I feel much better knowing Lily is getting enough attention while I am away and is not lonely. Katherine is great at communication and gives descriptive updates and plenty of photos for each visit. Thank you for looking after Lily again this time!

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.

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.
