“Adrienne left our two cats soooooo happy! I think they were actually sorry we came home. In all seriousness, I could not have asked for a more conscientious and caring person to check in on my cats. They loved her almost immediately. She’s our person from her on out.”
“I reached out to Stephanie recently to check in on my cat while I was on an extended trip out of town. She responded quickly and professionally and was flexible and extremely helpful about looking after my pet in my own home while I was away. Stephanie went above and beyond during her visit, and from the photos I received I could tell she not only looked after my cat but spent time socializing with him as well. I look forward to working with Stephanie again in the future!”

About: Hi! I would love to help care for the fur babies in your family! I do house sitting, pet-sitting, and dog walking. I have had pets of all kinds from guinea pigs, to cats, to 100+ lb dogs! I even have experience with taking care of newborn puppies. I am a very active person and can take your dogs out for a run if you would like. Also, I’ll bring your loved ones little treats while they are in my care, with your approval of course. If your pets need a bath or a grooming, I’ve got you covered. For house sitting, let me know if you need some things cleaned. I can help you out. I hope you consider me for your dog walking, pet-sitting, and house-sitting needs! I work as a supervisor at Mission Hospital from 7am -3:30pm each day. I am available on weekends and before or after work. On the weekends, I tend to take time to enjoy the outdoors for a few hours and go for long bike rides or hikes with friends. I can stay with your pets during the work week and on weekends. I can take them out to potty and crate them if need be when I am not there. Whatever you need, I've got you covered.
“So grateful for Kristen and how she communicates when looking after Rosie and Pete! She makes travel for work so much less stressful just knowing she is there for them. And they love her too! Thank you!”
“Excellent to work with! She was super flexible when I needed last minute help. Very professional and picked up all the little details on our pets. She sent pictures and a quick message to let me know how everything went. Will definitely work with her again!”
“Bradly did a great job watching our two dogs while we were out of town for a few days. We had him drop in 3 times a day. He arrived promptly at the designated times, fed, walked and played with our pups. He is very kind and responsive giving us comfort that they were getting the attention they need. Our English Springer Spaniel is full of energy and Brad was able to give him the play time fetching sticks to burn off some of his energy. We live on a few acres so having someone that is also active was important to us. We trusted Bradly with our home and pets and would definitely use him again.”
About: I've taken care of many dogs, cats, fish, and even the occasional bird. I had my own pet sitting side business while I was in college in Tampa and have missed I ever since I moved!! I am currently looking to switch careers so my appointment book will be pretty open in the near future. I'd love for this to develop into my full time job. I am currently renting so I'm not offering boarding services. But I'm offering drop in visits not only to walk, feed, and clean up after pets but to spend some time with them so they are not lonely
About: Animals have always naturally gravitated toward me, and caring for them genuinely makes me happy. I’m the kind of person who notices when a pet wants comfort, quiet, playtime, or just someone calm to sit with them. I especially love creating a peaceful, loving environment where pets feel safe and cared for while their owners are away. I’m very respectful of people’s homes, clean, dependable, and communicative. I know how vulnerable it can feel leaving your pets with someone else, so I treat every animal with real patience, affection, and attention — not just as a job, but because I truly love being around them. I’m also available for overnight stays, house sitting, feeding, walks, companionship, bringing in mail, watering plants, and helping keep things running smoothly while you’re away. I have a flexible schedule right now, which allows me to give pets lots of attention, affection, and companionship throughout the day. Animals have always been a huge part of my life, and I truly love getting to know each pet’s unique personality and making them feel safe, happy, and cared for while their owners are away. I’m available for house sitting, drop-ins, walks, and overnight care most weekdays and weekends. I know how important it is to trust the person caring for your pets and being in your home, and I take that responsibility very seriously. I’m dependable, attentive, and genuinely loving with animals. I pay close attention to routines, feeding instructions, medications, and the little things that help pets feel comfortable and secure while you’re away. I’ll always treat your home with respect, keep things clean and tidy, and make sure you receive regular updates and photos so you can feel completely at ease.
About: I've had cats throughout my childhood growing up, and I've had two cats for over 10 years as an adult. I'll make sure they are well fed and socialized. I'm the founder and event venue steward of Energetic Experienes in Woodfin, so I would be happy to stop by before/after any events that are scheduled. I am very respectful of your space and follow your instructions carefully. My top priority is always to ensure that the cats are well fed and socialized.
About: Hi! I’m Izzy, and I’m the kind of person who will probably greet your dog before I greet you! 😂🐶 I’ve grown up surrounded by pets my entire life and have always had a huge soft spot for animals. I’ve cared for my own pets, watched pets for friends and family, and have professional experience working at a doggy daycare! Working at a doggy daycare gave me hands-on experience with dogs of all sizes, personalities, energy levels, and play styles. I’ve learned how to read body language, recognize different behaviors, safely manage groups of dogs, and understand when a pup needs playtime, space, reassurance, or a good cuddle. 🐕🩷 I absolutely LOVE getting to know each pet’s unique personality. Whether your pup is a crazy ball of energy who wants to play all day, a nervous little baby who needs extra patience, or a professional couch potato who just wants cuddles I’m happy to meet them exactly where they’re at! When your pets are with me, they’ll get plenty of love, attention, playtime, walks, enrichment, and of course… LOTS of belly rubs. 💕 My goal is to make them feel safe, comfortable, and spoiled while you’re away. I know how hard it can be to leave your pets with someone else, so I want you to feel completely comfortable knowing your fur babies are in caring and experienced hands. I’ll treat them like they’re my own and make sure they get all the love they deserve. I can’t wait to meet your furry family members! 🐾✨ Pet sitting fits naturally into my weekly routine. I work part time, which gives me a flexible schedule and plenty of availability to provide consistent, attentive care throughout the week. Your pets safety and comfort are my top priorities. I provide a calm, loving environment where animals can feel secure and cared for. I also have experienced introducing pets safely, as I have four friendly dogs and three gentle cats at home who are used to meeting new animals. I always take time to ensure every pet feels comfortable and respected
About: I’ve been caring for dogs and cats for as long as I can remember. Over the years, I've looked after pets for friends and family whenever they needed a trusted sitter, and I currently live with both a dog and a cat. I helped train our black Lab from puppyhood and also cared for our previous Lab through his senior years, giving me experience with both energetic young dogs and older pets who need extra patience and attention. I understand that every pet has their own personality and needs, and I always strive to make them feel safe, comfortable, and loved while they're in my care. 🐾 Pet care fits naturally into my daily routine. I just graduated high school and will be going to college in the fall. I have a flexible schedule that allows me to dedicate time throughout the day for feeding, walks, playtime, potty breaks, and plenty of attention. I enjoy being active and spending time with animals, so making sure pets are comfortable, happy, and cared for is something I genuinely enjoy and prioritize. are for pets in their own home by following their normal routine as closely as possible. I make sure they are fed on schedule, have fresh water, get plenty of exercise and playtime, and receive lots of attention and affection. I also keep the home tidy, clean up after pets, and provide regular updates and photos so owners can feel confident that their pets are happy, safe, and well cared for while they're away. I always respect the owner's instructions and tailor my care to each pet's individual needs and personality.

Makenzy is AMAZING!!! I couldn’t be happier with the incredible care she gave to our senior cat while we were away. She’s has such a peaceful, calm, and kind presence which is exactly what our shy guy needs. She provided the sweetest daily updates (with photos) and I found myself being able to just miss him and not worry about him. Makenzy truly puts her heart into what she does in caring for our special family members, and I could see it. I was able to put all my trust in Makenzy, and I will absolutely book her again 🩷
They did a great job looking after my two cats. They were diligent and communicative. My cats eat raw food and they did a great job managing their dietary needs. They went above and beyond to make sure they were well taken care of. I was able to really relax and enjoy my trip knowing my cats were in good hands. I am deeply appreciative and would highly recommend them!

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.
