“A.J. took amazing care of our little guy! And he has separation anxiety, so he is not always the easiest to take care of! Would definitely highly recommend her and hire her again! She was fantastic!!”
“This was our first time using Rover and Paige was our sitter while we were out of town. She stayed at our house with our one dog for five days. She did a wonderful job! She worked well with our dog who has some physical and behavioral special needs. She gave us multiple photos and updates every day to let us know how he was doing and had great communication with us. She also followed all of our requests with our dog and kept our home very clean. We will definitely be requesting Paige to be our sitter again and would recommend her to anyone. Thank you Paige!”
“Meryk watched both of our dogs and our 3 cats this weekend while we were out of town and will definitely book with him again in the future if we need someone! He was very help & super communicative and responsive the entire time and I knew my fur babies were in good care!”
“Madalyn was awesome! She accepted our booking VERY last minute, then did a great job taking care of our pets, and sent us regular updates and pics which helped a ton with our peace of mind. 10/10 would recommend and we will definitely be rebooking!”
“Samantha was great! So great I have already started recommending her to friends and family. It was a relief to know that our dogs were taken care of and we could relax on our vacation”
“We could not be more pleased with Jonna. She kept us informed with just enough texts and pictures that we knew thery were being well cared for. One example included "We all fell asleep on the couch last night." We knew all was well as that is typical of my wife and her "babies". We will would give 10 stars if we could.”
“Sam did a great job wirh my animals, my house was clean when I came home. She communicated with me during the blizzard and was very confidant in what to do if the house lost power. I received plenty of updates on my fur babies. I highly recommended her for dog and house sitting duties.”
“If I could give Olivia 10 stars I would. This is the second time she watched our three dogs and I would keep hiring her every single time. She is always on top of things, goes above and beyond, is a very caring, responsible and considerate young lady. I cannot recommend her enough.”
About: I’ve cared for and trained my own dogs over the years, so I understand how important it is to have someone you can trust with your furry family member. I’m home throughout the day, which means your pup will get plenty of attention, frequent potty breaks, playtime, and daily walks. I’m happy to follow your dog’s normal routine as closely as possible, including feeding schedules, medications, crate routines, and any house rules you use at home. My goal is to make their stay feel comfortable, safe, and as much like home as possible! I’m a stay-at-home mom, so I’m able to spend lots of time with the dogs in my care rather than leaving them alone for long periods. We have a fenced yard for supervised play and potty breaks, and I can provide at least one walk each day along with plenty of playtime and attention. I know leaving your dog with someone new can be nerve-racking, especially the first time, so I’m also happy to send pictures and updates throughout their stay. ❤️ Every dog is different, and I’m happy to learn their routine, personality, favorite things, and little quirks so they can feel right at home while they’re here. I have a fenced yard and will play in the yard with them. I will do prioritize comfort and brain stimulation by allowing for a lot of playtime and walks if your dog allows.
About: I've taken care of several dogs and cats for friends and neighbors, whether that's just checking in or staying overnight. I am avaliable to accompany the pets for extended hours or days. Pet sitting is my full time job, so I am usually available whenever! I'm able to either stay with the pets or check on them periodically. I am able to watch pets at a client's house, always keeping an eye on them and making sure they're doing alright. I prefer visiting and/or staying in their environment, making sure the pets more comfortable and less stressed.
“Jodi was amazing with Louie and Maggie. She paid close attention to every detail, especially Louie's medications, which gave us so much peace of mind. Louie is a senior dog, and Jodi watched over him with extra care, patience, and kindness. It was clear she truly understood his needs. Both dogs were happy and well cared for, and we felt completely confident leaving them in her hands. We would absolutely book Jodi again and highly recommend her to anyone—especially if you have a senior pet. 🐾💛”
“Katie was excellent with our fur babies! She was kind, caring, and responsible. During her stay, she kept us informed with text and photo updates. Our oldest dog requires insulin injections and eye drops. Katie didn’t have any issues with that and did so with care. We will most definitely be using her again!”
About: If you’re looking for someone who will treat your pets like family, you’ve come to the right place. I’ve spent decades caring for animals of all kinds, from energetic puppies to senior dogs who just want a cozy place to rest to fostering bottle fed kittens that I’m just weaning. I’m experienced with a wide range of breeds, personalities, and temperaments, so whether your pet is playful, shy, or somewhere in between, I know how to make them feel safe, happy, and loved. I truly love animals, and it shows in the way I care for them. Your pets will get plenty of attention, affection, and yes—lots of snuggles! I take the time to understand each animal’s unique needs and routine, so they feel comfortable and at ease while you’re away. I can also welcome your pets into my home while you’re gone. I do have my own dogs but my house has two separate areas that can be used. This would include as many potty and sniff breaks as they want in my fenced backyard as well as all the couch snuggles! I’m currently a stay at home mom to school aged kiddos so I have plenty of time to love on your animals! Walks loves and snuggles available! I can provide car in your home or mine! I have a fenced yard at my home and will keep them separate from my animals. I understand how to be respectful in someone else’s home and want to make everyone’s experience positive.
About: I’ve grown up on a farm surrounded by animals my entire life, so caring for pets has always been a natural part of my day-to-day life. Dogs especially have always had a big place in my heart! Growing up, I helped care for our family dogs by feeding, walking, playing with, and keeping an eye on them. Because I’ve been around animals for so many years, I’m comfortable with dogs of different sizes, ages, personalities, and energy levels. I know every dog has their own routine and personality, and I’m happy to follow your instructions to make sure they feel safe, comfortable, and loved while they’re in my care. I’ll treat your pup like one of my own and make sure they get plenty of attention, playtime, and cuddles! 🐶❤️ Your pet’s home away from home 🐾 I work from home every day Monday - Friday! My work schedule is from 6 am - 2:30 pm so your baby will have plenty of potty breaks! On our weekends, we mostly stay local and if we have a visitor I try to not go anymore for more than a couple hours at once! We also have camera in our house to check in and make sure everyone is doing okay! Hi! I’m Mckenzie, a lifelong animal lover who knows how important it is to have someone you can genuinely trust with your pets. I’ll treat your fur babies like they’re part of my own family and make sure they get plenty of attention, love, playtime, and cuddles while you’re away! I’m comfortable with dogs of all sizes and personalities, and I understand that every pet has their own routine and quirks. Whether your pup loves long walks and playtime or would rather spend the day curled up on the couch, I’m happy to meet them where they’re at. I’m also a mom, so patience, responsibility, and keeping up with a busy schedule come pretty naturally to me! I’ll always follow your care instructions closely and keep you updated with pictures and messages so you can relax knowing your pet is safe, happy, and well cared for. I’d love the chance to meet you and your pets! 🐶🐱❤️
About: I've had dogs and cats in my life since I was born. I started helping with their care since I was a young child, including sitting with the family dog who was had siezures. More recently in the last 10 years, giving my, (since passed), elderly dog his eyedrops and pills. Dogs and cats are hilarous creatures that deserve love, patience, kindess and respect of their boundaries. Paw parents guidleines and rules for their furry family members will always be followed. I'm flexible with the animal care as I do not have a 9-5 and with working holidays. I keep my animals on a routine schedule and understand that animals need routine to thrive. I am happy to help you keep that routine for your household, as long as there is availability in the schedule. Whatever the rules and guidelines that are given by the paw parents for the care of their animals will be followed. If an animal is highly stressed, they are given the space they need or taken out of the enviroment that is stressing them, ( ex: a reactive dog seeing another dog and is starting to reach their threshold will be redirected or taken out of the enviroment.)
About: I’ve had animals all my life l. From small dogs, large dogs, cats and even a few rabbits. I’m especially great with dogs who have special diets and/or need regular medications. I work full-time but with a semi flexible schedule. I am happy to check in on pets mid day. I’m also free most evenings and weekends. I treat every pet like they’re my own! I take the time to learn their routine, favorite activities, and individual quirks so they feel safe and comfortable while you’re away. Whether that means walks, playtime, cuddles, meals, medication, or simply keeping them company, I’ll make sure they get the care and attention they need.
“Maria was excellent!! She is very respectful and responsive to messages and requests. She took wonderful care of our babies and pampered them with play and love. This was the first time we had ever left them and Maria made sure we had pictures and updates every day. We will definitely be asking her to take care of them again 🥰”
About: I have 40 years of pup to elder care experience. Training, care and presence for comfort and ease of the dog while owners are away can ease stress. Giving them attention and distraction will help in the owners absence. I’m retired and am wiling to take on all schedules and scenarios. I can feed, water, walk and administer medicine as needed and on schedule. I care for my dogs as if they are my kids. They are fed, cared for and vetted regularly. I would care for the owners dogs the same way or whatever way they ask me to.
“Laura treated our dogs well. She sent us pictures thru ought the weekend which was nice. And they seemed very happy when we got home. Plus she was an excellent house guest by washing the sheets and towels before we got home.”

Frequently asked questions about Rover
As of September 2026, there are 270 sitters on Rover offering House Sitting across Boaz. 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 Boaz 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 Boaz 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 Boaz 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 Boaz. On Rover:
- 100% 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.
