“This is the second booking we had with Rachel for drop-in visits for our senior cat, Bella. She treats Bella with TLC! Rachel again provided us with photos and updates on Bella's progress. She is an outstanding sitter. We will definitely continue to book her when needed.”
“Sally is an absolute lifesaver! My dog, Sasha, can be quite reactive, but Sally showed incredible patience and understanding right from the start. To ensure everything went smoothly, we set up multiple meet-and-greets beforehand. This allowed Sasha to get truly comfortable and relax around her. Because of Sally's dedication and amazing care, we were able to fully enjoy my daughter’s wedding day with complete peace of mind, knowing Sasha was in the best possible hands. I cannot recommend Sally enough!”
“Stephanie was very attentive and communicated any issues she encountered while cat sitting our two girls. She sent daily pictures and followed the instructions left behind. I will definitely book Stephanie for my upcoming trips.”
“We got our dog the same week that we had Kylie complete mid day check ins and I truthfully don’t think we would have survived the week otherwise! Willy felt so comfortable with her which is more than we could have asked. Expectations were met and exceeded!”
“Emily is amazing! All four cats were well taken care of. She went out of her way to play with them all and be with them while we were gone on vacation. They all love her! She’s very kind and made sure everything was perfect for the cats.”
“Cayla was FANTASTIC with my cat. She gave her so much love and attention. The follow up messages and photos were so thorough. I will definitely use her again and highly recommend her to anyone looking for a caregiver.”
“Katie is the exact type of person you would want caring for your family pets!! Not only is she dependable, but is so loving, caring, and kind to the dogg-os. I wouldn’t hesitate for a moment to recommend her to family, friends, or anyone who just loves their pets! Katie will absolutely treat your fur babies as is they are her own :).”
“Brandi is amazing cat sitter, our cats love her. When we came back after long trip, I feel like both of my cats didn’t feel we were gone at all. Thanks to her again. Definitely ask her to check our cats again in the future.”
“Morgan has been great letting out Piper our 1 year old golden doodle when our schedules don’t allow us to be home during the day. She sends pics and updates us about potty breaks. I would recommend Morgan to help you when needed!”
About: I’ve taken care of dogs and horses almost my entire life! I have experience with dogs who struggle with dog aggression, leash problems, diabetes etc. I am very patient and understanding and I can’t wait to meet your furry family member! I currently work at a vets office nearby during the day with Mondays off so I can help mornings and evenings no problem! I don’t mind early morning walks as I am up with the sun normally! I am flexible to work with your dog’s current life style, needs, or whatever they may require. I have my own Australian cattle dog who is extremely friendly and willing to accompany your dog if needed or allowed!
“Our cat Po’Boy is 17 years old and requires medications, several small meals per day and companionship when we are out of town. Tami, the Rover house sitter, did a great job of providing the services needed and communicated regularly on how Po’Boy was doing and was always on time for appointments. We enjoyed the pictures sent of Po’Boy. We will certainly be requesting Tami when we go on future trips.”
About: Pets have been a part of my life since I was five years old. My life has been devoted to their health and quality of life by being a certified veterinary technician and also working in the veterinary and Humane Society field. Able to do all types of medical care for animals. I am recently retired from a full-time job and would love to do something I enjoy and I am very good at due to all my years of experience. Due to my own 4 Golden Retrievers and other barn animals, I cannot take any dogs into my home. I sure would if I could.
About: I've had a love/passion for dogs since I was born into this life. Growing up, I've always had a dog in the house, so it easily became the norm for me. I have experience with a wide variety of breeds, including doberman, pitbulls, great dane, labs, boxers, beagles, and mutts. I truly love them all. I'm open to taking care of all breeds. I don't discriminate! One thing I will note is that I specialize in high energy/working dogs and am very familiar with larger breeds. Just to give you a quick example, I raised a Doberman from a puppy which led to me learning A LOT throughout the process. Doberman are a working breed and require plenty of mental and physical stimulation & I think I cracked the code! I’ve developed a deep understanding of what high-energy dogs need to thrive. I'm good at stimulating their minds, keeping them active and most importantly, happy. I'm not a certified dog trainer, but I do understand the importance of balancing their physical and mental well-being, and I'm dedicated to ensuring each dog has a great time with me! I'm very engaging and mindful, so whatever your dog may need, whether it's staying active outside or relaxing at home, I will do my best to provide. That's a promise. When it comes to availability, I am free at the moment. You can contact me any time and I will get back to you asap. I will make sure you feel comfortable with leaving your pets with me. To ensure you of this, I will send you daily photos & videos to show you how good of a time they're having! Also, you can give me a call ANYTIME. I know what it's like to drop my dogs off at a pet sitter's house, so my job is to give you the relief of knowing that your pets are in great hands. I can guarantee you this🙂
About: I have been pet sitting for over twelve years now and love doing it!! I have worked as a kennel assistant for the last two years. Through this I have gained a lot of experience caring for a wide variety of dogs, and learning all there is to know about them! I also have two dogs of my own so I know just how much they become a part of your family, which is why loving and competent care is so important for them! I cannot wait to meet and love on your fur babies :) I’m currently working a full time 9-5 position, so if that fits with your dogs schedule then perfect! I of course make your pup the priority, taking them out and getting their daily exercise in before and after work. Whatever the needs of your pup are is what I’m here to give them! I am more than willing to care for your dog in your home however they are most comfortable! Whether that be crate training, daily walks/runs or just good quality time and cuddles on the couch :)
“Renee did a fantastic job with in-home visits with my dog Rookie. It was my first time ever using Rover and Renee went above and beyond. She made the process very easy and Rookie had a great weekend with her!”
“Leslie took such special care of our cat. He is older and diabetic and she checked his blood sugar and administered insulin shots for him. She is so caring with animals and very kind. I would recommend Leslie for any service.”

Frequently asked questions about Rover
As of October 2026, there are 750 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 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 .
Yes, you can find sitters who have experience with handling special pet needs in Troy. On Rover:
- 91% of sitters can help with special care needs
- 95% can help with giving oral medications or injections
- 94% can help with daily exercise
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.
