“I couldn't be happier with the care provided by Miranda. From the initial meet and greet, where she took the time to understand my dogs' needs, to the ongoing communication throughout her visits, including sending me pictures, I felt reassured every step of the way. It was the longest I've ever left my dogs with a sitter, but seeing how relaxed and content they were in the photos, I knew they were in good hands. I highly recommend Miranda for anyone seeking a reliable and caring sitter for their fur kids!”
About: Hi, I’m Maddie! I’m a huge animal lover, and someone who genuinely enjoys spending time with pets of all shapes, sizes, and personalities. I’ve owned English Bulldogs for most of my life, so I’m very familiar with the breed and all of their funny little personalities.🤣 I also have experience with smaller animals like guinea pigs and absolutely love caring for pets beyond just cats and dogs. I treat every pet like they’re my own and will always do my best to keep their normal routine as consistent and stress-free as possible. 🐾❤️ Hi, I’m Maddie! I’m a mom of two, a huge animal lover, and someone who genuinely enjoys spending time with pets of all shapes, sizes, and personalities. I work from home and run my own business, so I have a pretty flexible schedule and am usually available throughout the day and into the evening for drop-ins, walks, potty breaks, feeding, playtime, and lots of attention! I don’t currently offer overnight stays, but if you’re looking for someone who can stop by your home frequently throughout the day and evening while you’re away, I’d love to help! My goal is to make sure your pets feel safe, comfortable, and cared for- and that you can enjoy your time away without worrying about them. I care for your pets in their home where they feel most safe and comfortable, rather than in an unfamiliar area as I feel it makes it easier on them.
“Lucy is awesome! She took such good care of my shy kitty while I was away, she gave me updates every visit and kept my mind at ease knowing my cat was well taken care of. We will definitely book her again!”
About: I have several years of professional experience working hands on with dogs in boarding, daycare, enrichment, and training environments. I’ve cared for dogs of all ages, sizes, breeds, temperaments, and energy levels, from young puppies learning appropriate manners to senior dogs who need a slower, more individualized approach. My experience includes dog training, enrichment activities, group play supervision, leash handling, feeding and medication routines, recognizing canine body language, and working with dogs who may be nervous, overstimulated, reactive, or simply need a little extra patience. I’m comfortable adapting care to the individual dog rather than expecting every dog to enjoy or respond to the same things. Most importantly, I genuinely love getting to know each dog’s personality and making sure they feel safe, comfortable, and cared for while their family is away. I currently have open availability and plenty of time to dedicate to your pets! I’m available throughout the week for walks, drop ins, playtime, and pet sitting. I’m happy to work with your pet’s normal routine and keep their schedule as consistent as possible while you’re away. Safety and your pet’s comfort are always my priority. My professional experience has taught me to pay close attention to canine body language, stress signals, behavior changes, and each dog’s individual boundaries. I follow your pet’s established routine and care instructions closely and never force interactions they’re uncomfortable with. Whether your dog is outgoing, nervous, high energy, or needs a little extra patience, I’ll adjust my care to what makes them feel safest and most comfortable.
About: From the time I was born, animals have been a part of my life. My pets are my family and yours will be treated the same. I have a wide range of experience when it comes to animals and care for much more than dogs and cats. That includes….saltwater and freshwater aquariums, hedgehogs, rabbits, reptiles, farm animals such as chickens and goats. I will also water your plants, bring in your mail, and set out your trash cans. I work from home and have a flexible schedule and will make your pet a priority 24/7. Your pet will have lots of love and attention. I do not place them in a crate like they do at a boarding facility. They will be able to sit on the couch if they desire! I have a large yard and allow them to get the exercise they need. I live just across from Greenway and will take them on daily walks.

Frequently asked questions about Rover
The average cost of Pet Sitting in Alder Branch is $28 per visit as of November 2026. Most bookings cost between $17 and $42 per visit. On Rover, sitters set their own rates based on factors such as their experience, the length of care, the number of pets, and your pet’s specific needs. As long as your booking dates and pet profiles are accurate, the price shown before you confirm is the total, including any booking fee.
As of November 2026, there are 1,116 sitters on Rover offering Pet Sitting across Alder Branch. Enter your ZIP code to see which available sitters are closest to your home.
You and your sitter can agree on a care schedule that fits your pet’s routine and the sitter’s availability. Pet Sitting can be booked as a one-time or recurring drop-in visit. If you need overnight care or dog walks, you may also be able to book House Sitting or Dog Walking through Rover with the same sitter, provided they offer those services.
Before booking, confirm:
- the timing, length, and frequency of visits;
- the care instructions the sitter should follow;
- which parts of your pet’s usual routine should be prioritized;
- how often you would like to receive messages, photos, or other updates.
Not every sitter offers the same services, availability, or booking options. Review their profile and discuss the care you need through Rover before booking each service.
If you would like updates while you’re away, you can discuss with your sitter how many or how frequent you’d like those updates to be. The Rover app allows sitters to send photos, videos, and messages about your pet, including how many pee or poop breaks occurred. You can message your sitter at any time through the app and our support team is available 24/7 by email or chat if you have concerns.
The personalized, in-home nature of pet care through Rover can mean more individual attention for your pet.
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.
Yes, you can find sitters who have experience with handling special pet needs in Alder Branch. On Rover:
- 90% of sitters can help with special care needs
- 95% 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.
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.
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.
