“We’ve always had great experiences with rover, but Colleen was absolutely wonderful! We really appreciated the detailed notes she left each day and she went above and beyond in so many ways and we would definitely use her again!”
About: I previously worked in the vet field for over 20 years and am comfortable with all breeds, ages and species! I truly adore all animals! I'm a SAHM with 2 young boys so I'd prefer to care for animals during their school hours and the occasional weekend walk or visit! My 7 pets are my absolute world. I will treat your pets as thought they are my own. I do however require leash walks off site!
“We've booked with MacKenzie a few times. She is very informative and attentive. She brought our trash and recycling bins down and back up without us asking! I highly recommend MacKenzie if you are looking for a caring pet sitter!”
About: Taking care of pets has always been a giant part of my life. I currently have two cats at home, but I have also owned dogs in the past. I also grew up helping care for horses, cows, and donkeys on my family's farm, so I am very comfortable around all animals. I will always treat you and your animals with the greatest care and respect. I am senior accounting student at UAH. After spending nearly 8 years working in sales, I left my position to focus on finishing my college degree. I would love spend my time outside of class helping people care for their pets. I take your pets car and safety very seriously. I have two indoor cats, so I am very vigilant when it comes to ensuring pets are safe and secure. This same level of safety is also applied to dogs when I take them outside of the house.
“Kristen took such good care of cat while I was away. She sent tons of pictures and videos and kept me up to date with everything going on and even turned my sinks on and heat up when my city got a snow storm! She will take great care of your pets!”
“Elizabeth is so wonderful! The cats warmed up to her quickly and absolutely adored her. She provided plenty of pictures and updates. She is very clean and very professional. She made me feel very comfortable leaving my cats with her. I HIGHLY recommend Elizabeth.”
About: I’ve been pet-sitting since I was in high school, now going into year 7 of pet sitting. My unwavering dedication to personalized care for each pet is what I always focus on. I understand that each pet is unique, with its own needs and quirks, and I try and go the extra mile to tailor my services to meet those individual requirements I currently work in person 3 days out the week (MWF) as a college professor at AAMU but I make sure you pet’s needs are my first priority. From waking up early to give them attention & exercise, sharing my lunch break with your furry friend to take a walk and have a bathroom break, to helping me take breaks during my work hours for us to both stretch and go for a walk. Having constant communication with the owner & providing regular updates through messages, photos, or videos. Being prepared for any emergency by having a plan and knowing I need to bring your furry friend if an emergency may happen. Lastly, ensuring the safety within the home by removing anything that may be hazardous and keeping your furry friend in their designated area when needed to avoid any mishaps.
About: I’ve taken care of animals my whole life. From having turtles, cats, dogs, hamsters, guinea pigs, and fish over the years I’ve learned so much about so many different animals! every animal is different just like humans so i strive to make sure they are comfortable with me and trust me how i am with them ! Many friends and family have asked me to watch or take care of their 4 legged babies, so i hope to keep doing it with yalls ! i’m currently working part-time, so that leaves me free from 1pm to anytime. My off days are Wednesday and Fridays, they don’t change! I’m willing to walk, sit, let them out to potty, just run to go check on them, and if they need some extra loving i’m there! Of course if you need anything else i’m here and very flexible! I live in an apartment, so i wouldn’t accept nightly stays at my place, but i’m more than capable over staying at yours ! i know most of the time animals feel more comfortable and safe in their own homes ! I do have a 80 pound dog who i take out 5-6 times a day when i get home, i take him out to the dog area and play with him for hours so he can get some sunshine on him, he’s crate and potty trained, and he LOVES to be cuddled up on anyone !
About: I have grown up around friends, family, and neighbors that have had dogs. I have taken care of their sweet babies while they were away on vacation or out of town. I have also given medicine to dogs before, so I am happy to provide you with ease if your fur baby needs to take meds. Overall I love to love on these precious babies and make them feel loved. As a cat owner, I am well experienced with taking care of pets. I work a full time 9-5, but will have plenty of time in the afternoon to love on your baby. I am free most weekends for your baby to either stay with me or to go check on them while you are away. I have an open home with plenty of room for your baby to run around. I also understand that some pets do better in an environment they recognize, so I am happy to sit with your baby and play their favorite games. And yes, a belly rub is an absolute must! I am also experienced with giving pets medicine, I am comfortable with providing that as well.
“Last minute requested for a booking and Audrey came through! It was our first time to leave the girls with a sitter, and she gave positive reassurance throughout. Provided care to our girls with no problems and provided thorough communication. Gave medications as well to one of our cats. We did not have to worry!”
About: What sets me apart is my lifelong experience with dogs and my hands-on professional background. I’ve loved and cared for dogs my entire life, including my own dog, who has been part of my family since I was in third grade and now lives with my family in Indiana. Most recently, I worked at a dog daycare, where I cared for dogs of all sizes, breeds, temperaments, and energy levels. I’m dog CPR certified, experienced in administering medications, and comfortable handling everything from puppies to giant breeds. My goal is to make every dog feel safe, loved, and at home while you’re away, treating them with the same care and attention I’d give my own. I do work a job, but my schedule is flexible enough that i can consistently make time for pet care. Whether it’s early mornings, evenings, or breaks during the day, i’m able to fit in walks, check-ins, and quality time with your dog. Pet care is a priority for me, and I plan my day to make sure your dog gets the attention they deserve. When caring for pets in their home, I stick to their usual routine to keep them comfortable and stress-free. I follow all instructions for feeding, walks, playtime, and any special needs. I also keep your space clean and send regular updates so you know your pet is happy and well cared for.

Frequently asked questions about Rover
As of October 2026, there are 318 sitters on Rover offering Cat Sitting across Ryland. 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 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.
