“This was my first time using Rover and Rebecca made the entire experience so easy and comforting! She was great with communication and sent me many pictures of my kitty, which I really appreciated. She played with him, fed him and even cleaned his litter which I didn’t expect. She is friendly and trustworthy, definitely booking with her next time I leave town!”
“Amanda was absolutely phenomenal! I was so worried about leaving my babies at home for a last-minute trip, as some of them are a little skittish, but within the first day or so, they all warmed up to her and were waiting for her cuddles and attention. I can’t recommend her enough — she went above and beyond, and comes with plenty of experience with both cats and dogs with varying temperaments. 🐶🐈⬛🐕🐾 (She also sent lots of great photos!)”
“We left the Country for two weeks and Madison came home to take care of our 4 pets. She did all the instructions given and was so careful and lovely to our babies. We are totally satisfied of her job, it has been so efficient and good. We recommend her to the people who have to leave their pets under care of pets' services. We are very thankful with Madison R.”
“Alex is a fantastic cat-sitter!! She sent me regular photos and video of my Willie and he was very well cared for. I'm so grateful and will definitely ask for her availability again!”
“Anna was so great! She was available super last minute when I needed someone to watch my puppy, and I’m so thankful she was able to help. She took such great care of him and made me feel completely comfortable leaving him with her. I would absolutely recommend Anna and will definitely be reaching out to her again!”
About: I have cared for many a dog and cat for family and friends. As well as I am a pet owner myself. I will love your baby and play with your baby as if it were my own. Pet sitting and house sitting will be my job. So I will be dedicated to whatever schedule is needed for my client. I will be available on weekdays and weekends. I also can provide pet pick up and drop off to vet visits or groomers for a fee I would rather keep your pet in your home. If I need to I am certainly willing to bring to my house. I do not have a fenced yard, but can walk your pet for exercise. I do own two cats, so if your baby does not tolerate them, then it would for sure need to be your home I stay in with them.
“As soon as I met Hannah I relaxed and knew my pets were going to be well taken care of while we were gone. She was professional but relaxed, great communication during the weekend. Definitely we will use her again!”
About: i’ve taken care of many animals since a young age ranging from farm animals to exotic pets and of course the average household pets. i have a huge love and passion for taking care of animals. i’m currently waiting for a position to open up so i can start working, so i will have plenty of time to hang with your fur baby. once i start working im looking at full time hours but the love and care towards your fur baby will be the same as if i wasn’t working. i will meet any and all accommodations asked of me when taking care of your fur baby. i will update with pictures throughout the time as well
About: Get thanksgiving covered with me! :) My name is Kitty, I’ve always loved animals growing up. I worked as a kennel attendant at a vet clinic and I’ve taken care of loved one’s pets any time they need it. I regularly volunteer at the Humane Society of Pulaski County and taken the “working with dogs” class. I’ve taken care of dogs, cats, ferrets, and fish. I have experience with medications, baths, and even subcutaneous fluids. I love to take care of animals and I plan to apply to vet school. Your pets are in happy hands with me! *Currently not house sitting because I cannot stay overnights, but this service will be available again in the future! I work a flexible 9-5 so I will be able to see animals first thing in the morning and then for several hours in the evening. If necessary, I can also stop by on my lunch break. Weekends are completely open. I take safety very seriously. Dogs will be supervised when outside and always leashed when on walks. I understand the short limits for young puppies. I ensure litter box cleanliness when caring for cats to keep the air quality safe. I know needle safety if subcutaneous injections are necessary.
“Tristen took wonderful care of Rubie, visiting three times a day for several days. She consistently went above and beyond, often staying longer than the visit required, and playing with Rubie. She sent report cards after every visit and was very communicative. She asked good questions and followed my instructions. Highly recommend!”
“This was our 3rd time using Sara. My pups absolutely adore her, and Sara is amazing! Great communication, excellent pet care, and she is so kind and wonderful. Already have her booked for our next trip!”
“Having Becky drop in was a game changer for our kitties. They were much happier when we returned home after having dedicated attention and playtime every day. She also took great care of our chickens! We will definitely be rebooting if we decide to go out of town again.”
“Awesome dog sitter. Highly recommended. Moriah is very professional prompt and trustworthy. Treated my dogs as if they were her own. Easy to communicate with and friendly. A+++++ Will definitely be using again.”
About: I have been taking care of my family's animals since I was born, dogs primarily. I have also pet sat for families in my neighborhood and always recieve a positive report. In the past I have even had clients recommend me to their other friends who were in need of pet services. I specifically enjoy caring for seniors and aging animals. I currently work very flexible hours and I have availability primarily on nights and weekends. My home and car are clean smoke free environments. I will work with you and your pet(s) to ensure safe quality care. If you select me as your pet sitter I will work to ensure that both you and your furry client(s) are comfortable, safe, and happy. I know that for a dog having a new pet sitter or new walker can be an anxiety inducing time but with my warm inviting personality (and a bag of treats :) I have an affinity for getting animals to like me.
About: I love animals. I was a former foster pet parent. We ended up adopting. We have adopted three dogs and they are our families world. Can’t imagine life without them. I’m able to help with your pet after my work hours and before my 8 hour shifts at the hospital and on the weekends as needed. Would love to pet sit or walk your animals. I love pets and helping when needed. I usually work 8 hour shifts at the hospital.
“Jacquelyn was amazing during her care of Muffin. Despite multiple headaches with an unruly neighbor, Jacquelyn ensured she was always available and issued Muffin the best care. She made my two month long vacation away from Muffin bearable with updates like pictures and videos. if ever I need a sitter or dog boarding, she will be my first choice, and she should be yours too! Book Jacquelyn for your pet sitting needs.”
About: Furry friends are the best friends; I cant wait to meet your pup and get to know their personality! Lots of pets and treats, with permission, of course! I’m a junior high teacher, so I am available after 3:30 everyday and all day on the weekends! Let’s get that pup a walking routine! I have a fenced yard and my own pup who loves to love! She is ignored by our two cats, so she would love to have some company!

Pet parents share their Rover experiences - Alexander
Aulelei was the absolute best pet sitter that we could have had for our girls! She was incredibly compassionate and so diligent with her care. She left the cutest rover card reports and made sure there were plenty of helpful details with each update. And not only was she kind to our animals, but she was so sweet with every interaction we had. We are very grateful for her and her help. And will be booking with her again! ☺️

Frequently asked questions about Rover
The average cost of Pet Sitting in Alexander is $18 per visit as of November 2026. Most bookings cost between $16 and $26 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 459 sitters on Rover offering Pet Sitting across Alexander. 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 Alexander. On Rover:
- 90% of sitters can help with special care needs
- 96% can help with giving oral medications or injections
- 97% 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.
