“Alyssia was quite wonderful for my guys! She captured incredible pictures and helped my dog to his daily medicine. She gave out such kindness to them and even did small things to show her care.”
“So impressed! Sitter arrives when she says she will and stays long enough to not only complete jobs, but also spends quality time with our feline “children”!! The photos and Rover Card are a definite plus!!! Thank you so much!!!!”
About: I’ve always loved animals and truly enjoy spending time with both dogs and cats! I’m responsible, patient, and attentive, and I’ll make sure your pets feel safe, comfortable, and loved while you’re away. I’m happy to care for pets of all ages, including energetic puppies and kittens as well as senior pets who may need a little extra patience and attention. I’ll follow your pet’s routine, give them plenty of playtime and cuddles, and make sure they get the care and attention they deserve. My goal is to treat every pet like they’re my own! 🐶🐱💕 I’m currently a college student in Tuscaloosa, and my class schedule gives me plenty of flexibility to care for pets. I’m available around my classes and can work with your pet’s routine to make sure they get the attention, care, and companionship they need. I’m happy to accommodate different schedules and make pet care a priority when you’re away! 🐾💕 For dog walks, I prioritize your pet’s safety, comfort, and happiness. I’ll follow your instructions carefully, use their leash and equipment properly, and keep a close eye on them throughout the walk. For cat visits, I’ll make sure they have fresh food and water, clean up after them, and give them plenty of attention and care. I’ll treat every pet like my own and make sure they feel safe and comfortable while you’re away! 🐶🐱💕
“Abby was so amazing while I was on vacation abroad. My cat was always excited to see and play with her. Abby was an excellent communicator and took lots of pictures for us while we were gone. I will definitely be booking with her for any future travel!”
About: I grew up on a farm. My mom raised puppies and kittens. Growing up I lived with at least eight dogs and eight cats at a time (in a small trailer). Now I live in a small house with room outside to walk a dog-- and can even take them to a trail or creek if you wish. I am not scared of aggressive animals. Some pets need more attention than others! I am a house cleaner from 7:30AM to about 11AM-3PM (it depends on the houses). However, I can make time to come home in between work for your pet. I am free all day on weekends. I have a small grass field, a safe neighborhood, and a cozy home. I make sure your pet always has water and food (unless otherwise specified) and attention.
“Anna was a great cat sitter! She took care of our three kitties and made sure to check in with us frequently. She went above and beyond to care for them and handle any messes they made.”
About: i’ve been an animal lover all my life and started pet sitting professionally at age 15. At summer camp, I managed the puppy barn, carefully overseeing children interacting with the dogs to ensure everyone stayed safe and happy. With two years of rescue volunteering and experience with all ages, I provide reliable routines, park play, and lots of cuddles while you're away. I currently have a flexible schedule that allows me to prioritize your pet's needs. Whether it is a midday walk or full-day care, I can easily fit pet care into my daily routine. I am dedicated to being reliable and consistent, ensuring your pet has plenty of social time, exercise, and bathroom breaks throughout the day according to their usual habits I have a huge heart for animals and consider myself deeply empathetic toward their needs. I am always vigilant about their surroundings, especially when managing interactions with others. I treat every pet with the highest level of care and patience, ensuring they are safe, comfortable, and loved. I truly believe they deserve the best, and I treat them like family.
About: I’m an educator, dad, and lifelong pet owner with more than 20 years of experience caring for animals. Pets have always been part of my family, so I understand that trusting someone with yours is a big deal. I’m patient, attentive, dependable, and comfortable following established routines for feeding, walks, playtime, medications, and all the little things that help a pet feel safe and comfortable. As an early childhood professor, caregiving, observation, communication, and responsibility are quite literally part of what I do every day. I’ll care for your pet with the same attention and affection I expect for my own. As a university professor, my schedule offers more flexibility than a traditional 9-to-5, particularly on certain weekdays, evenings, and weekends. I’m also a dad, so planning, routines, and being dependable are already a big part of my life! I’m happy to coordinate care around your pet’s normal schedule whenever possible and will always be upfront about my availability before accepting a booking. I know pets are family, and I treat both your pet and your home with that level of care and respect. I follow your instructions closely, maintain established feeding, walking, medication, and bedtime routines, and pay attention to changes in behavior or appetite. I’m patient about letting pets warm up to me at their own pace and prioritize safety at all times. You can also expect dependable communication and updates while you’re away. I know how reassuring it is to know that someone you love is happy, safe, and well cared for.

Cat parents share their Rover experiences - Northport
Megan was wonderful with our cat Drake while we were away! She not only took great care feeding him she also played with him each day. She sent us such cute pictures of them playing every day! The only downside is I’m afraid he may be disappointed it’s us that comes home each day now and not her😂 We will definitely be getting her to come take care of him next time we are out of town.
Anna was very sweet and patient with our three animals. One dog was a bit hesitant the first day but Anna was incredibly patient and got the dog to love her. She stayed to play with the dogs even if it went over the 30 mins that we paid for. The pictures she sent were adorable and we will definitely use her for our next trip.
Leah did such an amazing job watching out two cats while we were out of town! She was always on time, followed our instructions perfectly, and went above and beyond to make sure our boys were well taken care of! As someone who worries about leaving my pets at home alone, Leah’s daily updates were exactly what I needed for peace of mind. I would 100% recommend her for anyone looking for a great pet sitter!

The average cost of Cat Sitting in Northport is $20 per visit as of November 2026. Most bookings cost between $16 and $29 per visit. On Rover, sitters set their own rates based on factors such as their experience, the length of care, the number of pets, and your pet’s specific needs.

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 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 Meet & Greet.

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 contact information. Sitters may set a same-day, one-, three-, or seven-day cancellation policy. Cancelling within your sitter’s cancellation policy qualifies you for a full refund.
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.
