“Jasmyne was incredible! We will absolutely be booking with her again. Our babies mean so much to us and it’s incredible to know we have someone we can trust to care for them. She is sweet, punctual, respectful and great with our dogs and their different needs and personalities.”
About: I have dogs and cats of my own. I have also worked at a few animal shelters. Our animals can be as important to us as our own children. I understand this so I will happily send updates and pictures! I work full-time, but more then happy to make time for your furbabies! I just need to know when I am needed in adviced, especially for longer stays. I am happy to ensure your pet has outside time, fed, has playtime, and is comfortable while you are away. I will be sure to send updates and photos of our day!
“Rachel stayed at our house and watched our dogs while we went on a family vacation. This was a busy trip to Disney, and it helped SO much to have someone so reliable watching our fur babies. I never worried. She texted me updates which also gave me that extra peace of mind. We will definitely use her services again the future. Thank you, Rachel!! 🐶🐶🤩”
“Morgan was awesome! She was so sweet and easy going. We ended up being gone longer than expected and she stayed longer than she had too and it was so much appreciated. Our doxies loved her and even whined when she left. We will definitely use Morgan again!!”
“Very friendly, professional and punctual.She went above and beyond. Felt at ease knowing she was watching my pups. Will definitely be contacting her again when I travel. My dogs responded to her well. Definitely recommend!”
About: Hello, we are Lilia & Bruno, and we love animals! We offer pet sitting in our home or yours, as well as professional dog training. If you want your pup to come back with better behavior and new skills, you can book our Board & Train program! Feel free to check both our Sitter and Trainer profiles to see which is best for you and your fur babies! We work from home full-time, so we can look after your dogs or cats all day. As loving pet-parents, we know that your fur babies are important members of your family. So we treat them all with kindness, respect, and loving care. Dogs & cats of any breed and any age are welcome at our place. We have a clean, safe home with a huge yard for your fur babies to walk and play, including a fully fenced zone for dog training. Our house has plenty of indoor space as well. We are happy to set up a meet-and-greet before you book your stay. We are passionate about being a part of Rover, because it feels great to give pet-parents peace of mind when they are away, knowing their pets are safe, happy, and healthy with us! Work from home full time, because we run our own dog training business and music lesson business. Therefore, our house is set up perfectly for boarding, including baby gates and a special dog guest room with a bed. Pet care and dog training fits into our schedule very smoothly. We communicate with the pet-parents about all their fur baby's needs, including feeding, walking, sleeping, energy levels, habits, and personality. We make sure your fur kids get enough food, water, exercise, and attention. We keep pets safe & happy!
“This was our second time using Tracy and he was just as fantastic this time. We had an overnight trip and needed someone to stay in our home with our dog and two cats and he kept us updated and the pets were happy and safe with him there. I would definitely book Tracy again in the future.”
“Alicia went above and beyond to care for Bailey! Bailey takes time to warm up to new people but Alicia keep me updated multiple times while gone. Bailey was happy when I got home. Thank you so much! Looking forward to rebooking with confidence Bailey will be cared for.”
About: My goal is to give you peace of mind in knowing your beloved pets are well taken care of and safe! I grew up with dogs, and I have had my own for over 15 years! I have also worked with an ortho vet specialist providing vet tech care and surgery assistance, and have given my own dogs their vaccines and medications in that practice, so if medicines are needed I can administer them. I have done drop-in visits since I was in high schools for friends and for neighbors, all of which were very happy with the regular pupdates and quality of care (both with the home and the dog!). I love dogs, and I will do everything possible to make sure they are safe and secure while I am in your home and while on walks! I always worry about my own dogs darting through an open door or slipping out of a collar or harness, so rest assured this is something I take serious precaution on! I have a safety strap that I can attach to the dog in the event a collar or harness breaks or slips off. If theres a potty accident in your home, I will make sure it is properly cleaned/sterilized and clean off the pet if necessary. I have a high standard of care for my own dogs and that extends to yours. I work full time in downtown Montgomery and am off around 5. If you need care during the week, it will be after 5 pm when I can provide it! Weekends I am available anytime. If you have a fenced in yard, I will check the gates and the perimeter every time I come by to make sure there are no new openings or places your pet could find a way out. I will supervise them the entire time they are outside, and when going in I will make sure that paws are clean and they dont track in dirt or mud! If they require a leashed walk outside, I will ensure their collar is secure and the correct fit to ensure they cannot slip out- I will also add the safety strap that hangs loose on them in case the collar breaks. If there is a harness, I will check the fit and make sure the dog cannot slip out, and then use the same safety strap to prevent escapes. I can bring my own leashes (retractable, bungee, plain) or use yours if you prefer. I also have collars and a 3 point harness I can bring if needed for the walk or visit. Any instructions you leave for feeding I will follow and make sure youre notified if any changes to their eating habits occur. I value transparency and consistency above all else, and there will never be something happening with your pet that you are not immediately informed of! In the event of an emergency, I will take your pet to their vet (if open) or the ER vet and call you as well. You will receive pictures throughout the drop in visit, notification of when I arrive and when I leave so you are never left wondering! I love taking pictures on walks as well, so you will get some lovely pictures of your pup!
“They were fantastic! They took care of our baby who is a special-needs dog and made sure he was taking care of and he fell in love with them! In fact, it seems like he wanted to keep them and not us! Lol thank you so much! That’s what we wanted; someone to love our baby like we love on him.”
“Hannah was such a wonderful sitter for Shuri! I put in a last minute request and she was able to accommodate no problem. Sent lots of pictures and updates and came home to a happy dog. This was my first time using Rover because I’ve had issues with Shuri’s separation anxiety and rubbing her nose raw when I board her at the vet. This experience was so welcoming and I hope to book Hannah again.”
About: I have taken care of dogs and cats of all sizes and ages most of my life. Medicating and cuddling are my specialties with lots of kisses! I'm currently working part-time, so I have plenty of time to love on your pets! Pike Road is my favorite area of Alabama so travel is no problem. My two cats will not allow me to board animals, but I am happy to care for your fur babies at your home. I believe their own environment is the best for them.
About: I’ve taken care of pets my entire life. Neighbors, friends and family have relied on me to provide the greatest care to their furry family members. I have had various pets my whole life and this is what I love doing. I am currently not working so I have plenty of time to make your pet feel at home and give them the love and attention to make them feel safe and right at home. I have a large fenced back yard. I have a cat who gets along with dogs as well as a Macaw and a couple of tiny creatures in a cage. I am open to however you need me to care for your pet in home. Walking, sitting, playing, feeding, administering medicine, anything needed to make you feel comfortable leaving your pet in my care.
About: I love dogs, and I get along well with people everyone tends to like me. I grew up around dogs, and at home we had three Golden Retrievers. My family has even sold dogs at times, so I’m comfortable handling and caring for all kinds of dogs. I’m usually available from 2:00 PM until nighttime. We can discuss and arrange something based on your specific needs! I hope I can meet both your needs and your dog’s needs. I will be taking care of your dog in the comfort of your home, providing attentive, loving, and reliable care. My goal is to ensure your pet feels safe, happy, and well cared for at all times.
“Caty is very sweet and really treated our dog like her own. You can tell she has a big heart for pets and I know our fur baby thinks the same. Our dog is older with recent health issue. Caty did everything she could to help our girl feel better when we weren’t home. She communicated very well, taking many pictures to put our minds at ease. Thank you for always going above any beyond Caty!”
“Greer stayed at our home and took care of our sweet pup while we were out of town for a few days. She did a fantastic job and we will be having Greer over again for our next trip!”
About: I absolutely love animals...especially dogs! I've trained Guide Dogs, worked as a kennel tech, bather, and now groomer. I'm also a pet owner. I tend to treat my fur babies like I treat my children. Not only will I care for your baby, but if requested, I will also provide training. Anyone entering my home will be cared for with the love of a mother. I was once sworn in to serve and protect our country, now I am here to serve and protect your bundles of fur joy!? I have 4 children: ages 17, 11, 8, and 2. WE ARE ALL ANIMAL LOVERS!! Currently, I am studying to become a Veterinary Technician. My dream is to one day be the best Veterinarian there is. I have a dog grooming business, ran from home, so my availability is open. I work around my customers' schedules, that way it's more convenient for us all. I have a shop in the backyard where the fur babies will be housed. Our home is animal-friendly, and already setup for their comfortability and safety.

We just can't say enough great things about Morgan!! Our girls love Morgan and even though they are happy when we get back home, they whine after she leaves because they miss her too!! I feel like Morgan really cares and treats our babies as if they were her own. 😊

FAQs for House Sitting - Blue Ridge
Frequently asked questions about Rover
The average cost for House Sitting in Blue Ridge on Rover is $28.86 per night (as of July 2026). However, all sitters set their own rates based on experience, location, and availability.
Rover makes budgeting the cost of House Sitting easy. As long as your dates and pet profiles are correct, the price you see before you book is the same price you pay for House Sitting. For more information on service fees, click here .
As of July 2026, there are 120 sitters on Rover offering House Sitting across Blue Ridge. 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 Blue Ridge 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 Blue Ridge 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 Blue Ridge 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 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.
