About: I’ve been caring for and walking dogs ever since I was 10. I’ve handled both puppies and older dogs. I love spending time with all dogs and making them feel as special as they are. By giving walks, cuddles, and attention your dog is sure to feel happy and safe with me I’m taking online classes which makes me currently completely available and flexible to taking care of your pets. I can adjust to whatever you need in order to take care of your furry friend. Walks, playtimes, and attention anytime during the day will bring me absolute joy. When caring for your furry friends, I will treat your space as such I do mine. I will follow your instructions carefully and ensure that I leave you home as you left it. I will provide updates whenever taking care of your pets and make sure your furry friends receives the love they deserve

About: I work throughout the week as a security professional so I'm not available all the time but when I am I'll be glad to look after your loved one's. Anything you need for your security such as i.d. or where I work I will provide so that you know your pet is safe with me. I'm doing this as a side job because I know I will enjoy doing this and my parents would tell me do something you love and get paid to do it so here I am. I look forward to watching your little kids I mean that's basically what they are and if you need to contact me feel free to do so. You can contact me anytime for any reason. I look forward to looking after your little ones. Currently work security since last year of February but I always make time to walk my dog or take him to the park. He does have lots of energy so we tend to play around a lot. I treat them just like my baby show them lots of love and play I’m very attentive to my dogs needs. I’m practically with my dog all day.

Melisa was, in a word, AMAZING. We scheduled drop-in visits with her to keep an eye on our cat Clementine and Melisa wrote detailed updates for us and sent us a ton of photos, which we loved. We had a pee-incident on the couch that Melisa took in stride (thank you so much, again) and she really went above and beyond, helping put enzymatic cleaner on our couch so that the cat urine didn't just sit for two weeks, popping our mail inside and also keeping an eye on my plants. Stellar sitter and is 100% our go-to person from now on. Thanks again, Melisa!

About: I have helped animals in nearby shelters mostly cats. I have a deep love for animals and I feel most happy whenever I am around them and get to care for them. I’m currently available to provide pet care to pets on most days.If my schedule ever changes I will be sure to let pet owners know. I always make sure to put away any cable or cover outlets and use toys and play with pets so they don't hurt themselves. I always keep an eye out on what they are doing as well for their safety.

About: What sets me apart is the level of care, patience, and attention I give every pet. I've cared for pets much larger than myself and am comfortable handling dogs of all sizes. I have experience giving medications, following detailed care instructions, and making sure each pet's individual needs are met. I'm also experienced with reactive dogs, as well as anxious dogs and cats. I understand the importance of staying calm, reading body language, and creating a safe, low-stress environment where pets can feel comfortable and secure. Communication is a priority for me, so I provide regular updates and photos to keep pet parents informed while they're away. My goal is to make every pet feel safe, loved, and well cared for, while giving owners peace of mind knowing their furry family member is in good hands. Pet care fits naturally into my routine. I am fully available during the summer months (June through August), which allows me to provide flexible scheduling for walks, drop-in visits, daycare, and overnight stays. During the school year, I work in a school-based setting, so I am available in the evenings and most weekends. I am also fully available during school holidays, including Thanksgiving and Christmas. I enjoy spending time with animals and make sure every pet receives attentive, reliable care, exercise, and affection. For the comfort and safety of pets, I primarily provide care in the client’s home. This helps pets stay in their familiar environment and reduces stress, especially for dogs that may be anxious or reactive. I do live in a back house where the property owners have three small dogs, so for safety and to ensure a calm environment, I prefer not to introduce new dogs into that space. I am open to cat boarding on a case-by-case basis. I also have a strictly indoor cat in my home who is well-adjusted and calm around other animals. I am available for overnight stays and in-home care, and I always prioritize each pet’s safety, comfort, and routine while following owner instructions closely.

About: I have worked with animals since I was a little girl on my grandpas farm! I worked in dog boarding, dog grooming and did an internship through the SPCA. I also fostered cats for multiple years and have experience with medication, shots and different types of temperament. I have dealt with it all! I currently work part time at a bank so I have lots of availability especially on weekends. I usually work 4-6 hours during the day. I feel as though animals are more comfortable at their own house so I’d be more than happy to take them on long walks around the neighborhood or even play in the backyard.

About: I’ve had many pets since I was a child, from cats to chinchillas! Cared for puppies to senior doggos and love them all the same. I own a boba cafe that doesn’t require me to be there from day to day so I have time to look after your fur children. Plenty of love and attention for those that need it. If yours likes to do its own thing that’s no problem as well but will still show love!

About: Hi everyone my name is Angie and I may be new to Rover but I am not new to loving and caring for precious pups. I currently don't have any dogs living with me but prior to July 2025 I had my own fur babies since 1992. I decided this would be a wonderful way for me to get some puppy love, bring peace of mind to traveling pet parents, and make some money while providing a loving service. I have taken care of many of my friends pups along the way. Saki, Sophie, Sushi, Bodhi, Lucy, and Honey. I also occasionally foster dogs to help my friend's rescue. I would love to meet and care for your babies. My home is a safe and loving space for pups to play and have their "stay-cation"!! I work from home and will be available to be with the pet pretty much all day. Consistent time outdoors will be provided weather permitting. I have a fenced yard with plenty of room to play or grab that nice patch of sunshine to nap in. I maintain a clean and calm environment.

About: I have experience with Rottweilers, Cane Corso, and French Bulldogs. I rescued my frenchie about 4 years ago when he was a 1 year old. He has given me experience in bathroom cleanup, vet visits, grooming, playtime, feeding, etc. I also have some experience with fostering a second dog while living with him. I am currently a full time student with extra time but not enough for a full time job. Caring for pets sounds like a fulfilling job for me. I have a genuine love for all pets and care for them all equally. I have experience with aqua life, reptiles, birds, rabbits, turtles, cats, and of course dogs.

Aileen is the best! I have cats, dogs, fish, and shrimp and she did a great job with all. She followed all my instructions and I really appreciated all the photos. Being away from your beloved pets is very hard and it really helps to have those photos and updates. She was even able to get my one indoor female cat to come out which is amazing. That cat is afraid of everyone, but she came out for Aileen. If we go on vacation again, I would not hesitate to call on Aileen. Thank you!

About: I have had many dogs and I am an animal lover. I currently have one dog who is very friendly. I volunteered at the local animal shelter for a while and took dog walking classes. My daughter is studied animal science in college. I learn from her as well. I’m responsible and loving to all animals. My dogs have been very well cared for. I care for animals as if they are children and I am passionate about animal welfare. I am home all day so I have time to look after the animals. My house is very dog friendly and full of love. My yard is fully fenced and clean and full of dog toys. You will be very happy with my services and your dog will too! Hope to be a regular part of your dogs life. I look forward to the opportunity to serve you and your dogs needs. Also I want to add that I’m close to the airport so if you’re traveling from LAX I’m right on the way! It would be a great convenience! Please no dogs over 65lbs. I may occasionally go out for lunch or to get food. I spend lots of time playing and engaging with the pets here. Play time is supervised. Please set your drop off and pick up times within a one hour time frame. Be on time for drop offs and pick ups. Dogs should have a collar or harness on. Play time in my large backyard with music and toys. We do bubbles, water play for the select few who like water and lots of fetch for good exercise. I provide great pictures that can be cherished for years to come. My backyard is fully fenced.

About: I make sure every walk was filled with fun, fresh air, and lots of tail wags! Ensured dogs got the exercise and attention they needed while keeping them safe and happy. Send updates and cute pictures to owners to keep them connected. I’m more open during the week ( especially the mornings!) than the weekends. I have múltiple dogs on my own so I’m used to the routines. I maintain a structured feeding schedules, plenty of activity, and lots of mental stimulation through toys, enrichment games, and training. Keep a clean living space and monitor their behavior closely to make sure they feel comfortable and cared for every day.

About: I have owned 2 dogs in the past, one dog for 9 years and the second dog for about 2-3 years and I'm really good at playing with them, getting their fur to shine when dirty. I always care for the dog when something seems or is wrong. Your dog will always receive love and affection from me to have the greatest time of their lives. When it comes to walking the dog, the walk is never rushed I always give the dog the time to do what they need to do, that or just get a exercise with them as we're bonding. I love all sized dogs, sizes from really small dogs to medium sized to big or really big dogs, all sized dogs all always welcomed.

Aileen is amazing and I would rebook in a heartbeat. My senior cat is very distant from strangers and not super friendly, but Aileen knew exactly how to manage the home visits and still got great pictures. Aileen is very communicative, professional, and quick to respond with detail. She made my first Rover experience truly so easy which helped me be at ease during my time away.

FAQs for Drop-In Visits - West Athens

Frequently asked questions about Rover

As of July 2026, there are 9,128 sitters on Rover offering Cat Sitting across West Athens. 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 West Athens. On Rover:

  • 89% of sitters can help with special care needs
  • 93% can help with giving oral medications or injections
  • 96% 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 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.
