Aunya was fantastic. She made sure all four dogs were well taken care and even cleaned up as she left the house. She was very responsive and provided check-ins. I would definitely let her take care of my wild pack any time!

About: I have had multiple dogs for decades. Dogs just seem to love me. I guess it's because they can tell I love them so much. I'm really good at taking care of things for your dog. I love walking them and playing. I don't even mind picking up the poop. I'm currently working part-time as a house cleaner. So I have flexibility in my schedule to take care of fur babies. Evenings and weekends are almost always open. I treat all dogs with kindness and respect. I would want others to take care of my babies that way. I always double check the food and water. If there are extra things needed, I make sure to get those done as well.

Malia has been fantastic with our nervous shepherd, Selkie. I am very cautious about who I leave her with and Malia handled her fabulously, made sure she had the best time and keep us updated with photos the whole time we were away. It was super reassuring and so happy she could take care of her both times we have been away. Highly recommend and will 100% be calling upon her to pet sit for us in the future!

About: I am responsible, attentive, and caring for your space and requests! As the eldest child in my family, I was always the spokesperson and main caretaker of our family pets. Since moving back home to huntsville, I’ve pet sat for multiple friends in my circle studying here. The program has completed so I am looking to branch out and offer my services to all who need a helping hand! I’m working part time as a dance teacher and taking courses online. I am available to be present with your pets and can be as accommodating as possible to even the most strict pet parents. I respond to your pets needs right away as I am available for the majority of each day. I follow feeding, walk, and other care schedules, and give them all the loving to keep them comfortable while you’re away so you don’t have to worry (:

About: I am a CMA, and have worked in 4 vets offices over the years. I can give medication (oral, topicals or shots). I have been a groomer for 9ish years (traveling to homes and in grooming shops). I also come packing a huge heart ready to love whatever babies you have. I have cared for them all and really to care for yours!💜 I recently had surgery in March but have been cleared for work. I am a mobile groomer for myself so my schedule is very flexible. Working with vets/in hospitals, I have learned the best way to keep your animals safe and happy is to stay in their own home. Cars and new environments can cause a lot of stress or anxiety. Drop in visits and house sitting keeps your pet in a safe and comfortable place without the exposure to others or their pets.

About: Hello, I'm Emily. I've been taking care of dogs as long as I can remember really. I'm young but full of experience. I plan to become a Respiratory Therapist within the next several years. I'm looking for more experience hands on with more animals than just my own. I have four dogs. One with severe anxiety issues and I patiently work with her everyday. I'm very patient when it comes to animals. I can do basic training on your animal if needed. I'm a very loving and responsible adult. I can provide as much help and love as needed. I love dogs. I personally grew up with six. I know what it's like to love and appreciate animals. Thanks For Your Experience. The same way I work in a routine for my dogs in my day to day life while in school full time. I manage things well and make sure that all of time is put towards the betterment of my dogs and I will the same for yours. My current clients have a fenced in yard, they know how to sit, roll over, stay, shake hands and they wait for a command before eating. They have been trained well by me.

About: I’ve taken care of Dogs since I was 14. In 2014-2017 I owned my own dog walking business and took care of 8 dogs in their homes a week. I enjoy helping others and hanging around fur babies! I am a mom of 2, a college student and I work part time. I commute back and forth often and have plenty of time to stop by and give your fur baby the attention it needs. My 12 year old pit bull is well taken care of, she is walked daily and has a large yard to play in. She loves being spoiled.

About: Hello, my name is Micah Sheppard. Pictured above is my wife, Devin. I’m 26 years old and a Marine Corps veteran. We’ve been around animals our whole lives. From personal pets(dogs, cats, fish, etc.) to looking after and caring for other’s pets. I have some experience in training dogs in basic commands. I used to help train/look after k-9 German Shepherds for my dad’s police department during my high school years. Im currently a pet sitter/walker full time so my pet care availability will literally be any day and anytime you need a sitter, someone to check in on your babies, or someone to just take them on a walk and get some well needed exercise. We currently don’t offer care at our home but have no problem caring for your pet/pets at your home or any other location needed. I will have a list of available animal hospitals that are closest in need of an emergency if one was to arise. I would quickly but safely rush to the nearest hospital to get them the care they need before contacting the owner first. Emergency care comes first before notifying owners.

About: With years of hands-on experience caring for both energetic puppies and aging senior pets, I bring patience, attention to detail, and genuine love for animals. I’ve administered medications, handled special dietary needs, and trained basic commands. My goal is to create a safe, loving environment while you’re away, so your pets feel calm, happy, and well-cared for. I treat every animal as if they were my own, ensuring consistent routines and lots of affection. Whether it’s long walks, belly rubs, or managing health needs, I’m here to help your pet thrive. Pet care is a natural part of my daily routine. I structure my day around feeding times, potty breaks, walks, and play sessions. Whether I’m working remotely or running errands, I make sure pets receive consistent attention and companionship throughout the day. I’m flexible and can easily adjust my schedule to meet the specific needs of each pet, including early mornings, evenings, or multiple check-ins per day. I prioritize safety and comfort above all. In my home or yours, I create a calm, pet-friendly environment free from hazards. I follow all care instructions closely—whether it’s administering medication, monitoring food intake, or reinforcing training. I build trust through gentle, consistent interaction, always respecting each pet’s personality and boundaries. If I’m in your home, I treat it with the utmost respect and keep your pet’s routine as normal as possible to reduce stress.

Lauren did a wonderful job! The pictures she sent showed the dogs looking either Happy or Sleeping. The house looked so good when we walked in There wasn’t anything in the kitchen sink ( so nice to not have to load the dishwasher or do dishes when we got home). The bed was made and all of the bathroom towels were hung up neatly. I couldn’t even tell what ones were used. It’s such a relief to know the dogs are being taken care of, especially in their own home.. Lauren was very sweet and clearly seems to love dogs. We will definitely use her services again. She even cleaned the eye burgers out of the dogs eyes. We usually come home to the dogs eyes in a mess. We already have plans to use her in early February. We just have to figure out the dates we need to gone. A Happy Dog Owner! Carla Sewall

FAQs for House Sitting - Arab

Frequently asked questions about Rover

As of July 2026, there are 283 sitters on Rover offering House Sitting across Arab. Enter your ZIP code to see which available sitters are closest to your home.

Beyond belly rubs and feeding schedules, a house sitter’s presence may provide an additional layer of security for your home. However, you will need to arrange overnight stays and other household tasks with your sitter when reaching out to them. Not all sitters offer the same services. Common household tasks you can negotiate include:

  • Mail & deliveries: Collecting letters and packages so they don't pile up.
  • Plant care: Keeping your indoor or outdoor garden hydrated.
  • Trash & recycling: Taking trash cans to the curb on scheduled pickup days.
  • Home security: Sitters can stay overnight to keep your home occupied.

The best way to align on expectations is during your free Meet & Greet. Use this time to provide a "home cheat sheet" that includes your preferred Arab walking routes, the location of your favorite pet store, and any specific quirks about your home’s security or appliances.

It’s helpful to think of house sitting as a "home base" service. Most sitters in Arab maintain their normal daily routines, like running errands or heading to the office, meaning your pet should be comfortable being alone for a few hours at a time. If your pet needs a little extra company, here is how to find the perfect match:

  • Look for "WFH" sitters: Many sitters mention "Work from Home" on their profile to indicate they’ll be present for the majority of the day.
  • Update your pet’s profile: Write down how long your pet can comfortably be left alone. This helps sitters quickly determine if their schedule aligns with your needs.
  • Communicate 24/7 needs: Standard house sitting usually doesn't include constant supervision. If your pet requires round-the-clock care, be sure to discuss this upfront.

Tip: Use the Meet & Greet to confirm a sitter's typical "away" windows. Transparency ensures your pet stays happy and your sitter can plan their day effectively!

Key handling is entirely up to you and your sitter to agree on during the Meet & Greet or in the Rover app. Most pet parents in Arab choose to hand over a spare key or digital fob in person, while others arrange a lockbox or unique access code. Don't forget to discuss key returns as well!

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.

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 .

If a health concern arises during a stay, your sitter is instructed to contact you and our Trust & Safety team immediately and, if needed, take your pet to the closest veterinarian. Through our Trust & Safety support team, sitters can ask for diagnostic advice from a qualified veterinary professional if your pet is showing signs of possible illness.

For extra peace of mind, you can also prepare an authorization form for your regular vet. An authorization form outlines your preferred method of care and allows your sitter to bring your pet into their regular clinic.

Every qualified booking made on Rover is backed by the Rover Guarantee, which includes reimbursement for eligible emergency vet care.

A Meet & Greet is a short introductory meeting between you, your pet, 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.

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.

Yes, you can find sitters who have experience with handling special pet needs in Arab. On Rover:

  • 94% of sitters can help with special care needs
  • 94% can help with giving oral medications or injections
  • 100% 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.
