“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: Every animal provides unconditional love; no matter what, they deserve that same love in return. Animals love just a little attention and a lot of affection, similar to humans. They just want to know you will care for them and protect them. Who is really taking care of whom? Animals provide such love that it is undeniable. They also need someone who will pay attention to their every move. Safety is important. My animals are my family, my babies, that just happen to be covered in fur. I love teaching them and learning from them as well. My passion is teaching them new tricks! I love for them to know that they are truly cared for and adored. I enjoy animals more than most people in this world. I am currently a stay-at-home mom, so I have plenty of time to dedicate to your pet. I have a flexible daily and weekly schedule. I love to incorporate walks, playtime, training, grooming, and cuddles into our daily routine. I am home throughout the day so I can provide consistent attention, companionship, and care. I care for pets in my clients' homes by following their usual routines and making sure they feel safe, comfortable, and loved while their owners are away. I follow all feeding instructions, provide fresh water, take the dogs on walks, give them plenty of playtime and affection, and keep their spaces clean. I also amke sure to follow any special instructions regarding medications, behaviors, or other needs.
About: Majored in vet tech, I’ve had animals since I was 7 years old. My oldest dog I have is 13 years old and the youngest is two years old. I have a huge heart and passion for animals. I believe animals are angels on earth and deserve to be cared for and loved on. I enjoy taking them on long walks, or just sitting with them and giving them comfort. I am available weekends from 6am-10pm. Weekdays I am available after 5:30 am-10:00am & 9:30pm-10:00pm. This year I will be available for almost every holiday as long as I am notified a head of time, I will accommodate to the best of my ability. I have a huge backyard and two fur babies to keep your fur baby company. I have experience in crate training and I will safely crate your fur babies.
About: I have loved caring for animals since I was a child. Walking and feeding our German Shepherd was my favorite part of the day. We also had a Chow and one feline. Training Rocky the rottweiler to remain calm while bunnies passed through the yard is my biggest accomplishment, thus far. I love working with animals and their energy. On Thursday morning I teach guided Meditation but make my own schedule other than that. I'm up early to watch the sun rise and greet all the neighbors and pups. Animals prefer and are most comfortable being in their own environment with the scent of loved ones surrounding them. I respect their boundaries and connect with their energy softly and respectfully.
About: I have experience as a surgical veterinary technician as well as experience caring for cats and dogs for 25 years I am proficient in administering medication to canines and felines as well as first aid for both. I am also proficient in caring for small exotic animals such as guinea pigs! I have full availability and can pick up appointments same day! I enjoy connecting with pets and spoiling them! I am a yoga teacher and have a flexible schedule I have two small indoor cats that can be put in a separate room while I care for your pets. I am able to care for multiple animals
About: I attended veterinary assisting school, where I gained hands-on experience caring for dogs, cats, and other animals. I’ve also had the unique opportunity to work with wild animals, which helped me develop a deep understanding of animal behavior and the patience needed to care for all kinds of pets. I genuinely love animals of all ages, from playful puppies to gentle senior pets, and I’m experienced in giving medications, managing special diets, and providing comforting care. Every pet I care for is treated like family, with plenty of love, attention, and respect. I currently work a full time job with pets, but have a pretty set routine and am able to frequently help out other people with their pets! I’m can remain calm in a sticky situation, I’ve helped with dogs up to 200lbs and am not shy when it comes to stepping in to help.
About: Detail oriented, intuitive veterinary technician with over 20 years of experience in general practice, emergency care, internal medicine, surgery, sitting, and more. I truly believe in treating your pets as I would want mine treated I have open availability 7 days a week. Feel free to contact me last minute as I am very flexible. Animals in my care come before anything else. I want animal parents to feel completely at ease knowing their pets are safe, loved, and put before anything else. Any specific requests or needs will be fully respected. I am also able to provide additional pet services.

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 .

Same-day cancellations for recurring services, which include walks, drop-ins, and day care, follow the full refund policy.
