“We couldn't be more pleased with Karlie. We've never used a pet sitter before (instead used friends) so we weren't really sure what to expect. Karlie was such a warm hearted pet sitter and her care for animals really showed. She went outta her way to make sure our dogs were all watched over while we were out of town. She came by twice a day to check on them and let them run around, while refilling food/water. Such peace knowing our dogs had such a good caretaker in our absence and gave us an ability to enjoy our time out of town without worry. So glad we've met Karlie as we can take some trips this year and not have to worry about our dogs!”
“I had total confidence in Mary! My cat warmed up to her right away. He is usually shy around strangers but greeted Mary each day she came. Thank you Mary! Highly recommend!”
About: I’m super patient and love giving all of the snuggles and cuddles to dogs! I will be what you need while you’re living your best life on vacation I work full time but can do check ins in the morning, on lunch & at night. I am off on weekends so can go during the weekend any time as well. I’m not currently offering boarding services. I’m only doing dog walking and in home check ins. So so so so so so so so sorry!
About: -Lifelong dog lover with hands-on experience since age 10—walking, grooming, and providing both overnight and daytime care for dogs of all personalities. -Owner of a 1-year-old mixed breed (American Staffordshire Terrier, Chow Chow, Pitbull, German Shepherd, Dalmatian) who is sweet, friendly, and loves to play with other dogs—giving me firsthand experience with energy management and socialization. -Calm, laid-back approach to dog care: I match my energy to the dog’s mood to keep them comfortable, happy, and relaxed. -Flexible schedule to accommodate walks, playtime, overnight stays, or drop-in visits. -Guided by my faith in God: I strive to show the same love, patience, and respect to every dog and their owner that God shows to me. -Committed to giving pets a safe, loving environment while keeping owners informed with updates and peace of mind. I am a full time property caretaker, so my schedule allows for lots of flexibility. I can bring dogs to my place and have them outside all day with me or I can leave them at their home and visit 3 times throughout the day within a 10 minute drive from my house. Pets needs are top priority, food, water, potty, meds, outside time, etc. I will not go to the ends of the earth just to get Spot his pup cup if you know what I mean.
About: I’ve grown up with both dogs and cats, so I understand their unique personalities, needs, and behaviors. As a dog owner myself, I know how important it is to find someone you can trust with your pet. I’ll care for your pets with the same love, patience, and attention that I give my own, making sure they feel safe, comfortable, and happy while you’re away. I am a full time college student however many of my classes are in the mornings and I have practice in late evenings. So I am available throughout the day to drop in and take care of your pet. Weekends I usually have nothing going on and can spend the whole day watching your pet. I always prioritize your pet’s safety, comfort, and routine. In your home, I’ll follow your care instructions closely, including feeding schedules, walks, medications if needed, and any house rules. I’ll keep your home clean, secure, and respect your space while providing your pet with plenty of attention, affection, and exercise. As a pet owner myself, I understand how important trust and communication are, so I’ll keep you updated with messages and photos while you’re away.
About: All my life I was raised to care for animals. I developed a love for them like no other at a very young age. So, when I decided to leave a normal 9-5 job I stumbled across Rover and found my passion. I absolutely adore caring for animals and when I care for yours I will make sure that they are loved and cared for as I would love and care for my own. After my children moved out my schedule became open. I am available at any time to care for your fur babies and am more than happy to do so. When it comes to having a stranger in your home I can understand the uncertainty that comes with. I am here to ensure that you feel comfortable when you need to leave not only your house but your animals. We will have complete open communication at all times and I will make sure to follow all rules set.
“Laycie did a great job taking care of the outdoor cats, including extra food for a new momma. She also watered plants (we're in a hot, dry spell), which I'm grateful for. Will definitely book her again!”
About: I've taken care of a multitude of dogs, big and small, since I was a little girl. I have always loved every kind of animal and love to clean and make sure things are taken care of. I am currently working part time as an administrative assistant at Topgolf, but communication is key! As long as I am given 1-2 weeks advance notice I can make myself available for you. I can easily crate your dog if needed and I am an expert at putting cats in carriers. I read animal body language very well and know when to step in and how to meet their exact needs.
About: I've had pets since I was little. We got our first dog when I was in about 4th grade. At the moment I have a Guinea pig. I've been to obedience school with my dog before so I think that might come in handy. Other than that. I just want to enjoy their company. And also keep an eye on your bundle of joy for you. I've had pitbulls, pinkingneses, and a beagle before but I mostly know about smaller dogs. I've read a plethora of dog books from my local library during my early teenage years to get a good understanding of most species. I also am constantly researching anything I need to, on more than just Google and wikipedia but multiple sources. I hope I can be of service to anyone who would have me. I work two part time jobs and am looking to fill my time with some fur babies. The time spend at both jobs is equal to less than 40 hours. I have a crate trained dog in my home and plenty of yard to run around. I live on a dirt road so it is not traveled often.
“Sarah takes great care of my two boys when I need her without hesitation, she does an outstanding job! The boys love her and welcome her while I am away, this means so much that they feel safe with her care. We highly recommend Sarah to care for your pet’s needs, she is very reliable and communicates well.”
“Sarah takes great care of our kittens. Always very kind and keeps you updated on how everything is going. I have no fears leaving our kittens with her, and I couldn’t recommend her more.”
About: I not only have a passion in fitness, but the well being of all furry pets, especially dogs! I treat every dog as my own, because they all have a heart just like we do and need to make sure we understand their needs as a companion. I am willing to go beyond and make sure your pet remains active, and know the importance since I have a pretty healthy 11 years old pup myself! Allow me to show you that you can become comfortable and know that your dog will be in great hands, while they are gaining a friend=) This is not a job to me, but a privilege! If you have any questions or concerns, please let me know! Hope to work with you and your wonderful dog soon! I'm an Exercise Science/Psychology graduate and trainer. My line of work is organized how I schedule it to make sure I am meeting standards and delivering the proper care. IF we agree to bring your fur babies in my home I could provide great accommodations. I have a sweet dog and cat so what ever I could do to meet needs.

Frequently asked questions about Rover
As of August 2026, there are 86 sitters on Rover offering Cat Sitting across Troy. 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 Troy. On Rover:
- 100% 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.
