“Claire was fantastic with Delta. She was very prompt in answering any questions, and followed all of the instructions that were asked of her. I will gladly use her again to watch Delta. Thank you Claire!”
“Carma did a great job looking after our pups while we were out of town. Sent pictures and updates every morning and evening. Highly recommend if you need someone to watch your pups.”
“Bo was an exceptional sitter!! I would give her more stars if I could. I have an extremely high maintenance senior cat who requires medication, a special diet (like preparing a buffet twice a day) and a list of other instructions. Bo took care of all of her needs. She gave me several updates per day and also sent a bunch of photos - great communication. Bo cared for my little diva like she was her own!”
“Caroline was very sweet with our babies! She was communicative and was able to balance her job and caring for our animals well! We were worried getting back on time because of flight delays but she made us feel at ease that she would ensure our babies were taken care of! She’s the first person I’ve hired to care for our pets that stripped the bed, washed the sheets and towels and remade the bed, so a huge plus getting back from a work trip! Would def hire again!!”
“I can’t recommend Debra enough! She stayed overnight with our dogs for several nights, and we couldn’t have asked for a better sitter. From the very beginning, her communication was wonderful. She made scheduling easy, kept us updated throughout our trip, and sent plenty of photos and messages so we always knew our dogs were happy and well cared for. She went above and beyond by taking them on lots of walks, spending so much time playing with them, and giving them all the love and attention they needed. It gave us such peace of mind knowing they were not only being cared for but were genuinely having a great time while we were away. We’re so grateful for everything Debra did and will absolutely be booking with her again. If you’re looking for someone who is kind, reliable, communicative, and truly cares about your pets, I highly recommend Debra!”
“We have a lot of pets and one of our dogs wasn't eating well, so we were very nervous to leave them for 10 days. I told Gundi how worried we were and she texted me updates after every meal, sent lots of pictures, and it was very clear our animals were being very well taken care of while we were gone. She was very careful to follow our care instructions and even took our dogs for pup cups a couple times at our favorite dog friendly coffee shop, their favorite place to go on walks. She stayed at our house and left it as we left it, couldn't tell someone had stayed there. We will definitely be booking her again, glad to have someone we can trust who treats our furbabies as well as we do!”
“I cannot say enough amazing things about Chelbi. She provided me so much reassurance and took such good care of my boys. One of my babies requires lots of medications and she was on top of everything. I have never felt so at ease with a dog sitter. Our babies were beyond happy when we got home and I can tell they were cared for so well!!!! You will not regret hiring Chelbi!!!!”
About: Former veterinary technician and practice manager of 10 years, I have obtained a large amount of experience with multiple species and needs of animals. I’ve spent a lot of time pet sitting, working with rescues / fosters, and giving my own furry crew love & care. My husband and I relocated with the USCG down to Mobile in 2023 and since then I’ve been spending my free time working at HopHounds dog park downtown, as well as, volunteering with a few local rescues. With my experience and overwhelming big heart for animals, I promise to ensure that your pet feels right at home and gets the love and attention they deserve while you're away. My husband and I have recently relocated back Typically, I work only a few days per week with the ability to take time off when needed for fur baby care! I can fit house sitting, boarding, and drop in's into my daily routine easily to ensure that the times you feel your pet needs care the most, happen on schedule. I'm available most weekends and holidays, as well as, early mornings and late evening care. My booking settings do advise a 3 day notice-but please feel free to reach out with anything last minute and I will do my best to help! I offer pet transportation and grooming in addition to boarding/drop in services. This includes but is not limited to nail trims, bathing, and basic hair/fur trimming, Please let me know any questions you have regarding either. I live in a pet friendly neighborhood with lots of areas to walk and play, as well as, having a home with a large fenced in backyard, screened porch with fans, and toys galore! My husband and I have three, very social, doggos who love visitors. However, if your pet feels anxious around others, I do have 4 bedrooms available to provide them their own space and security. I am always happy to provide a meet & greet beforehand. If you're interested in boarding services and would also like to schedule a meet & greet with my fur kids-please let me know! Boarding can be stressful for pets-especially meeting new friends. I'm happy to help make that process easier in any way I can.
About: I’ve taken care of 5 of my dogs for as long as they were with us on earth, my friends and family have relied on me to watch, feed, walk, run with their pets and we are all happy… pets happy, busy owners chilling, and I get to enjoy them for a while too. I’m currently working a few days a week and my schedule is somehow very flexible so I can be available to help you with your pet needs. I would care for your pet/fury baby as my own in your home and most important always respecting any routine that you might have for them.
“Ashley was great! Dog sat my Sophie girl for a week while I was away and everything went very smoothly and Sophie seemed to really like her. Will definitely be rebooking in the future.”

The average cost of House Sitting in Bay Minette is $17 per night as of October 2026. Most bookings cost between $17 and $17 per night.

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 Bay Minette 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 Bay Minette 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 Bay Minette 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 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.
