“Abby is terrific. My cat Andy is very sweet but extremely shy but she feels very comfortable around her and comes out often. It’s very rare for my cat to come out with other people in the house. 10/10 and would 100% recommend”
About: I am 18 and have always had pets growing up. Back at home I have a weimaraner and a toy poodle that i love so so much. I have always taken care of my friends and family’s pets and hope to give other peoples pets the best experience. I am currently i first year bridge student with Shelton State Community College and The University of Alabama. I have class from 8-1 on weekdays and Fridays from 9-11 and the weekends i am completely free. I currently live at Redpoint Tuscaloosa and have two other roommates, there is a dog park right outside my door and many places to walk the animals if required.
“It was my first time using a pet sitter service and Jordan was just the best kitty sitter for my girl cat. Even when my cat is super shy and scary, she loved Jordan that much. She followed all my instructions and my baby was super happy with her. I will hire her again for sure. Thanks a lot Jordan!”
“With age, my cat Iggy has gotten more obstinate and more anxious whenever I leave home. Zoe did so much to attend to her needs, treat her, and draw her out to play and engage while I was away. When I returned, Iggy seemed as relaxed as I could have hoped. Zoe was so thoughtful about sending videos, photos, and responding to texts. She had treats and cat videos to help entertain Iggy and draw her out on days when she wanted to hide. It was all above and beyond and showed great experience, animal insight, and care. 10/10 will book again!”
“Allison checked in on my two cats while I was abroad and she was amazing! They warmed up to her so quickly and she took great care of them. I would definitely trust her to watch my pets again.”
About: Whether your pet towers over your countertop or can fit in your purse, I’ve taken care of them all. Cats and dogs of all breeds, ages, and sizes - I have had the opportunity to take care of these animals with all the love! As a cat and dog owner myself, I know first-hand what it is like to put trust into someone when you need help or have to leave.. it's scary! That is why I strive to provide the service you would do yourself if you were home, send lots of photos, give lots of snuggles, and love on your pets as my own! I am a full-time PhD Student and Instructor at The University of Alabama, but I have quite the flexible schedule. If you need a service, I will make it work to fulfill you and your pets' needs! Your pet is at the forefront of my routine. If your pup needs a walk, we will go on two. Your cat needs cuddles? I’ll be there until they get tired of me. I will treat your babies as my own because they deserve it!
About: I have grown up with dogs and cats from a young age. Throughout my life, I have had dogs ranging in size from a Yorkie to a Great Pyrenees. I have also had cats of all different temperaments, from shy and particular to loving and outgoing. I have further pet care experience from helping my parents foster many puppies and kittens over the last eight years. I also worked for a vet’s office for three years, cleaning up, feeding the animals, and taking them for walks. I love all pets and I have enough experience to take care of them well! I am a senior at the University of Alabama and I only have one-two classes a day, so that leaves me plenty of time to care for your pets! I can check on them in the morning, late afternoon, or evening! Whenever taking care of your pets, I will make sure all the necessary doors are shut and locked when leaving to avoid escapes. Additionally, I will make sure I follow any other specific instructions perfectly to avoid anything going wrong in your home!
About: Hi! I am a 24 year old in Tuscaloosa and I would love to care for your pet! I have experience with both big and small dogs along with cats. I spent over a year working at TROT doing equine-assisted therapy and helping care for the horses on their property. I am comfortable administering medicine as I have had a diabetic dog and currently have a special-needs dog myself. I have also shadowed in a veterinarian's office for six months and have volunteered in animal shelters since middle school. I work six hours a day, but my hours are flexible so I am able to work around your pet needs. I have my own dog and cat to care for, but my flexible schedule allows me to easily work with your pets schedule. I can not care for pets in my home as I have my own dog-reactive dog, but cats can be kept in my second bedroom as both my dog and cat have had experience with having foster cats through the apartment.
About: I have had a dog for years now. I left to go to college years ago and left my dog with my parents. I miss having pets around extremely. I have experience bathing, walking. playing with, and loving on dogs. I can do anything at your request. My schedule is very open as I am an online student at Alabama. My schedule does change weekly as I do have a part time job, but also make my own hours so I can accommodate. I will ensure to give your pets my full attention. I understand being paid for something your pets deserve the best of the best. I will be on time, feed, walk, and give any medications needed to your fur babies.
About: I’ve grown up around dogs and currently have two of my own (a golden retriever and a terrier mix), so I understand how important it is to have someone caring and trustworthy looking after your pets. I’ve been dog walking and pet sitting for friends, family, and neighbors for years, and I’m comfortable with dogs of different sizes, personalities, and energy levels. I’m patient, reliable, and always make sure pets feel safe, comfortable, and cared for while their owners are away. I’m currently home from college for the summer, so I have a very flexible schedule and am available full time for pet care. This allows me to give pets lots of attention, walks, playtime, and consistent care throughout the day and week. When caring for pets in a client’s home, I always try to keep their routine as normal and comfortable as possible. I make sure pets are fed on schedule, get plenty of exercise and attention, and always have a safe and clean environment. I’m respectful of clients’ homes, keep owners updated, and make sure pets feel calm, comfortable, and cared for while they’re away.
About: I’ve had dogs since the literal day I was born. I have 4 dogs at home (labradors and labradoodles), and one dog currently with me! Spending time with dogs is one of my favorite things. I’ve raised puppies from birth and worked with sick puppies for two years. I am currently a full time student with part time work on Monday, Wednesday, and Saturday afternoons! I am free every morning, besides Thursdays and Tuesdays from 10:30-3! 🐾🐾🐾🐾🐾🐾🐾🐾 Here's a little look into my availability Monday:9-11:30 Tuesday: After 5:30 Wednesday:10:30-2:30, after 5:30 Thursday: After 5:30 Friday: 10:30-9:30 Saturday: 10:30-9:30 I will, sadly, not be able to house your pets, but I would be able to walk them in a variety of locations for you safely!

Cat parents share their Rover experiences - Wood Ridge
Megan was wonderful with our cat Drake while we were away! She not only took great care feeding him she also played with him each day. She sent us such cute pictures of them playing every day! The only downside is I’m afraid he may be disappointed it’s us that comes home each day now and not her😂 We will definitely be getting her to come take care of him next time we are out of town.
This was the first time booking with Samantha and she was great. She arrived on time for the initial meet & great visit and completed the 2 times a day visits at the requested times. The eating and litter box areas were neat & tidy when I returned home. I will definitely book with Samantha again.

Anna was very sweet and patient with our three animals. One dog was a bit hesitant the first day but Anna was incredibly patient and got the dog to love her. She stayed to play with the dogs even if it went over the 30 mins that we paid for. The pictures she sent were adorable and we will definitely use her for our next trip.
Leah did such an amazing job watching out two cats while we were out of town! She was always on time, followed our instructions perfectly, and went above and beyond to make sure our boys were well taken care of! As someone who worries about leaving my pets at home alone, Leah’s daily updates were exactly what I needed for peace of mind. I would 100% recommend her for anyone looking for a great pet sitter!

Frequently asked questions about Rover
Rover is the largest marketplace for local pet care. Whether you're looking for pet sitters, dog walkers, or house sitters who specialize in pet sitting, you can narrow your search by entering your ZIP code to find sitters within walking distance in your neighborhood.
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 .
Yes, you can find sitters who have experience administering medication or managing dietary requirements. You can also find pet sitters who accept only one pet at a time, which is ideal for anxious puppies 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 request a Meet & Greet to walk your sitter through your expectations.
sitters on Rover set their own , 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.
