“Today marked the first full week of Alyssa doing drop ins for my border collie. She’s been awesome, I’ve gotten a great sense of care and attention given to my pup. Also great with updates and photos. Highly recommend for anyone looking for a good care giver for their pet.”
About: I have loved animals for as long as I can remember, and caring for them has always been a big part of my life. From dogs and cats to other furry, feathered, and even scaly friends, I’ve spent my whole life making sure they feel safe, happy, and loved. Being around animals brings me joy, and I take pride in treating each one as if they were my own. My passion for animals isn’t just a hobby it’s something I want to continue doing for years to come, giving every pet the love, attention, and care they need. I don’t have a job so I think this will be a great starter job to start with since I love animals and been around them my whole life I have a dog she is two years old and she loves to run and play outside and inside and she loves people. She sleeps in her bed and in mine. She loves her alone time but also wants attention and she always gets it.
About: As long as I can remember I have loved being able to help others out by watching their babies. What sets me apart is my patience, reliability, and genuine care for every child I work with. I take the time to understand each child’s personality and needs, while keeping them safe, engaged, and comfortable. I’m dependable, communicative, and always aim to give parents peace of mind. While my kids are at school, I have plenty of time to provide attentive and loving care for your pets. I understand that some pet owners may feel more comfortable having their pets cared for without children around, especially if their pet is nervous or fearful of children. During school hours, I’m able to focus completely on your pet and make sure they receive the care, attention, and comfort they need in a calm environment. I always follow the care instructions and routines provided by each pet owner. If you have a specific list of rules, feeding schedule, medications, activities, or boundaries for your pet, I will make sure to follow them carefully. I’m happy to play, cuddle, and spend extra time with your pet if you’re comfortable with that. However, if your pet prefers their own space or you would rather I only provide the care they need, I will completely respect that and never force interaction. For overnight care, if your pet is comfortable staying in their own home, I can travel back and forth as needed to let them out, feed them, and make sure they’re doing well. If you’re comfortable with your pet staying with me instead, I can bring them into my home and keep them completely separated from my children so everyone stays safe and comfortable. My priority is always following your preferences while making sure your pet feels secure, cared for, and respected.

I live near plenty of open land to take your pup for a walk!
About: What sets me apart from other pet sitters is my commitment to providing personalized and attentive care tailored to each pet's unique needs and personality. I prioritize building a strong bond with your furry friends, ensuring they feel safe and loved in your absence. My experience in animal behavior allows me to recognize and respond to their emotions and preferences. I’m not currently working anywhere else so I will have plenty of time with your pets! Dedicating my full attention to keeping them safe is my only concern. I offer regular updates through photos and messages , so you can feel connected to your pet while you’re away.

Frequently asked questions about Rover
As of October 2026, there are 741 sitters on Rover offering Cat Sitting across Saint James City. 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 .
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 .
