“Morgan was wonderful! We have 4 cats and she is the first person I have ever hired to take care of them. She was prompt and did everything I asked. I received detailed updates and pictures after every visit. She obviously loves animals and took care of them just like they were her own. Apparently, my cats did not even miss us while we were away because we were not greeted upon our return. We will be using her again and again. Thanks Morgan!”
“Erin was very nice! You can tell she loves pets. She took very good care of my 2 dogs and I appreciate she was able to do it last minute! Very recommended! I would definitely work with her again!”
“Iyah was very caring for my cats while I was away on a work trip! She went above and beyond to make sure I was updated every evening, and Mort and Maeve loved her! Will definitely book again.”
“Sahara was literally an angel who stepped in when a previously hired sitter no showed after I had already left town. She has been patient with my very shy and skittish senior cat who is now enjoying being petted by Sahara. I highly recommend her.”
“Alexis was excellent taking care of the pups. She loved on them like they were hers. I felt very comfortable with her in my home taking care of my babies. I highly recommend Alexis thank you Rover for having her as an employee she’s wonderful.”

“AMAZING! extremely communicative on my baby boy. i’m a stressed cat mom & she really relieved my stresses on leaving him while i was gone. super helpful & always made sure i knew what kind of day he had. 10/10 recommend.”
“Rachelle was amazing; checked in on Janus 3 times while I was out of town last minute. Janus is a very timid dog who requires a lot of reassurance after spending over a year bouncing around shelters and homes. Rachelle was willing to wait for Janus to feel comfortable and made sure she was well loved for while I was gone.”
“Second time having Elizabeth as my caretaker for my pets. She does everything that I ask her and goes above and beyond to make sure that my kitties are OK. She’s very easy to communicate with and is very good at following instructions. Would highly recommend her to care for your kitties or dogs.”
“Very friendly. Showed up on time and gave the extra effort to care for my four energetic dogs and elderly diabetic cat. Communicated very well and responds quickly. Already have her scheduled again. Dogs and cat loved her!”
About: I love dogs and cats too, I got into dog - sitting when I first moved to Georgia and my neighbor went out of town I watched her dog while she was gone and have been dog sitting ever since. I love going out and walking dogs and playing with dogs. I make sure they feel like they are loved and with their owners when I watch animals I love making them even little treats and dinners. Also if you have specific thing your animal eats then you can count on me to make sure they have a good healthy meal, I also am good about giving them their medication. I understand how people love for their animals as if they were their children and I totally get it. You worry about them and want to make sure they are taken care of well. I myself even hate the thought of my animal being alone for over a long period of time because of work or school.
About: I’ve had dogs my whole life and loved every single one of them! I also worked at an animal clinic all through high school and college, so I’ve picked up a lot of experience reading dog and cat behavior and adjusting to each pet’s personality. I’m comfortable giving medication (including insulin shots), and I can help with baths or nail trims if needed. My goal is to make sure your pet feels happy, safe, and loved while you’re away—whether we’re out for a walk, playing, or just hanging out for some cuddle time. I am available for pet sitting in your home, walks, and drop-ins after 6 pm on weekdays and anytime on the weekend. I can offer engaging play and 30+ minute walks, whatever you like. I offer bathing and toe nail clipping per request, or if your pet gets exceptionally dirty while you are gone (it happens!), I will bathe for free. Feeding and treats will be given per your instructions, and I will do whatever your pet needs to be comfortable while you’re away, so don’t be afraid to ask!
“Preston did an absolutely outstanding job caring for our animals while we were away for a week. Our dog, who is both highly anxious and sometimes aggressive, completely warmed up to him - a true testament to Preston’s patience and skill. He not only gave our dog the care and attention he needed but also made sure our two cats, two mini horses, and donkey were all well cared for and happy. We came home to a tidy house, content animals, and total peace of mind knowing everything had been handled so well. If you’re looking for a reliable, trustworthy, and genuinely caring pet sitter, Preston is the one!”
“Once again I am very grateful for Darlene’s services and fortunate to have her care for my cats. My cats are not very quick to warm up to new people, but Darlene has a gentle and understanding approach which makes it easier for them to feel comfortable.”
“Jennifer was accommodating before we left on our trip to ensure she was a good fit with our pet. Loved her personality, and she was very knowledgable. Our pet was drawn to her right away. While we were away, we received daily updates with pics that showed her very involved with him. When we came home you could tell he was well taken care of. Would use Jennifer again.”
“Donnis was excellent! She consistently communicated while we were on vacation and sent the absolute cutest pics of my babies. I will definitely be booking again in the future.”
About: Hi my name is Brittany! I have several years of experience pet sitting. We have one dog- a Lhasa apso (20 lbs)- as well who absolutely loves having friends come and play. My husband and I are huge dog lovers so your dog(s) will be extremely loved while staying with us! We have three little girls, ages 6, 4, and 1, who also adore dogs. Your dogs must be good with kids to stay with us. I have pet sat for over 15 years on my own and through pet sitting companies. My husband and I both mostly work from home and we have a nice fenced in yard. Please contact me if you have any questions. I would love to care for your pet(s)! I work mostly from home so am flexible to hangout with your pup(s) a lot and typically pretty flexible for drop off and pick up. We have a fenced yard and a friendly dog to keep your pup company while staying in our home. We also have doggy gates if needing to separate dogs.

Frequently asked questions about Rover
As of September 2026, there are 1,483 sitters on Rover offering Cat Sitting across Russell. 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 Russell. On Rover:
- 92% 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.
