“Jade did a great job! This is the first time that my wife and I, had a cat/house sitter and we were very fortunate to have found Jade. She was excellent. The kiddies loved her and warmed up to her very quickly. She kept the house clean and abided by our rules during her stay. She sent us pictures of our babies, while we were gone, and kept us informed of what was happening everyday. I feel that she is very trustworthy and I would recommend her to anyone looking for a sitter. We plan on using her again.”
“Terri is absolutely our new favorite petsitter. She housesat our dog for 5 days. Our dog had lots of needs emotionally and physically and she was able to accommodate our pet and provide the attention, time, and medication hd needed. Terri left our home in the way we left it, and she took good care of our little dog. She is an excellent communicator and went above and beyond. I am very particular and i would absolutely recommend this sitter and we will use her again and again. Thank you Terri! ?”
“Larissa was wonderful! She was punctual, communicative, and took the time to meet me the day before so she could get acquainted with Oliver. They got along great, which gave me peace of mind while I was away. She kept me updated throughout her stay, and I came home to everything in good order. I really appreciated how thoughtful and reliable she was. I’d absolutely recommend Larissa and would be happy to have her watch Oliver again!”
About: I raised my own dog until he passed at the age of 13. I take care of my friends dogs whenever they go away or need a sitter quick. I’m new to the Dothan area. I’m a current medical student in my 3rd year at VCOM so looking for things to do on the weekend! I work at the that can local hospitals so weekends are ideally what I’m looking to fill in right now. Shoot me a text and I’ll be more than willing to talk about availability! I have no current dogs. I live in a manufactured home that can I can care for a dog in. Lots of area for walks!
About: I've taken care of different breeds & size dogs for around 10 years now. I love animals & want to help take care of them. I have taken care of puppies, senior dogs, & ages in between. I work full time at my job. Weekends are best for me, but I can stay somewhere during the week, as long as it's not too far from my work. I also can go during my lunch to let dogs out to potty &/or check on them, as long as it's not too far from my work. I have a semi fenced in back yard. I have one dog outside & he has come inside sometimes, but hes not completelyhouse trained & I have one cat inside. They are both around 3 years old.

About: I’ve cared for dogs and cats of all ages and personalities — from energetic puppies who need structure and playtime, to senior pets who deserve extra patience and gentle care. I make it a priority to get to know each animal’s unique routine and needs so they feel comfortable, safe, and loved while you’re away. What sets me apart I treat every pet as if they were my own family. Beyond basic walks and feeding, I focus on keeping pets happy, stimulated, and calm — whether that’s through long walks, games of fetch, or simply giving them the quiet affection they crave. I’m reliable, detail-oriented, and always communicative, so you’ll have peace of mind knowing your pet is cared for like a priority. I currently work part time so I will have plenty of time to give attention to the animals!! I can do feedings and walks morning and night no issues there. I have a fenced in yard, very accessible for letting animals out to go potty and my household only consists of me and my partner so there won’t be many people coming in and out of the home so there’s more consistency for the animals.
Pet parents share their Rover experiences - Ardilla
Lyla was absolutely amazing with our fur babies! Our pups are usually sad and mopey when we get home from a trip, but this time they were happy, relaxed, and clearly well cared for. That told us everything we needed to know—she gave them so much love and attention while we were away. It gave us such peace of mind knowing they were in such wonderful hands. We can’t recommend Lyla enough!

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.
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 Ardilla 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 Ardilla 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.
<b>Tip:</b> 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 Ardilla 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 , 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 .
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 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 .
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.
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.
