“We are so glad we found Zaria to watch our two dogs. She stayed at the house and not only took great care of the dogs but also our home. The dogs loved her. We can’t recommend Zaria enough.”
About: I am a High School graduate looking to meet pets and make a few dollars while waiting to go off to college. I have worked at Chick-Fil-A for two years and have 7 furry friends of my own (your pets don’t have to meet mine if you don’t want them too!) so I know how pets of all kinds behave. Pet care for me can be any time pretty much because I recently quit my job and don’t have much happening until I go off for college. My house is fenced in, I keep careful eyes on pets, and will ensure your pet has the best times of their lives when they are with me. I guarantee it!
“Bella did a fantastic job watching my puppy, Pistol. She came and met us before the booking began. She kept me informed the whole time and sent pictures. I came home to a very happy dog, and I will definitely be scheduling her again!”
“Jake was a pleasure to work with—communicative, responsible, and highly respectful of our home and pets. We returned to happy dogs and a well-cared-for home, which gave us great peace of mind while we were away. We would absolutely work with him again and highly recommend him to anyone looking for a trustworthy pet and house sitter.”
“Aly stayed at our house with our 2 pups for a week and we are so appreciative! She took them to the dog park, went on walks and sent us pictures of their adventures. The house and the dogs were in great shape when we returned. We highly recommend Aly for any of your pet sitting needs!!”
About: I’ve helped teach my dogs at home and love on older dogs. I volunteer at the shelter all the time. I have had animals ever since I was little. I have a part time job and can work this in however needed! Whether it’s stopping by or staying around, I am willing to work with you! No matter where I am, animals are constantly being loved and cared for by me. I will make sure they’re fed, cared for, walked, played with, and whatever else is needed.
“Deshun was THE ABSOLUTE BEST. We had him take care of our little Squishy who recently had ACL surgery and was recently diagnosed with a neurological condition. He took care of our Squishy for a whole week and was absolutely fantastic. Consistent photo snd video updates throughout the stay. Made our vacation 100% worry free. Would absolutely recommend to anyone! Thanks Deshun!”
About: I’ve taken care of every kind of dog since I was around the age of 9. I’ve also been trusted by many family and friends to take care of their pets. I would love to care for your pet like my own! I’m a stay at home mom, so i’m free any day of any week to keep your animals! I have plenty of time to play with your pets! I have a okay sized yard for your pet to run and play, I can create if needed. I’m more than happy to travel to you to care for them!
About: I have many years of experience with dogs and other pets of all kinds. I was a sitter for many local families and their pets were always taken care of and loved. I understand how important it is for pets to feel safe and comfortable while their owners are away, and I always treat every animal like my own. I am a college student completing my work online. I am home full time spend most of my dog spending time with my dog polar. I have a quiet house for dogs who prefer a more peaceful environment but I also have a fenced in park area where I sometimes spend the day at for more high energy pets. The environment is very safe and your pets will be watched and safe at all time.
About: I’ve taken care of dogs for 4 years! I have three goldens of my own and understand how they can can be like family! 🫶🏼 I would be so excited to take care of your pets while you are away! I am also an AKC affiliated dog breeder of two years! I a college student who does online school so I’m available to care for your pets 3-4 times a day if desired. I usually am free any time of the day to come take your dog for a walk, check on them, or stay over night! I do live in a mobile home with three Goldens. The downside is I do not have a fenced in back yard, but the upside is I’m with them 16-24 hours of the day until their owners arrive back home! If a client ask me to stay at their home I usually follow their instructions with how many times they want me to come and if they want me to stay overnight! 🫶🏼
“Ivey did an amazing job caring for my three dogs while I was away. Leaving three dogs with someone isn’t something I take lightly, but she made the entire experience easy and worry-free. She kept me updated with messages and photos throughout my trip, which gave me real peace of mind. It was obvious my dogs were well cared for, loved, and received plenty of attention. They were happy, relaxed, and comfortable when I returned home. Ivey was dependable, communicative, and genuinely cared about my dogs. I highly recommend her to anyone looking for a trustworthy and caring pet sitter. I will definitely book with her again!”
About: I’ve had dogs in my home for as long as I can remember, and being around them has been a part of my life since birth. Because of that, I’m very comfortable with dogs of all sizes, personalities, and energy levels. Spending time with them has always been one of my greatest joys, especially if it’s going for long walks and giving belly rubs. I’m currently set to attend law school, which means I’m temporarily separated from my own fur baby back home. While I miss her every day, pet sitting gives me the chance to share that same love and attention with your pets. Caring for animals fills a space in my heart and allows me to do something I genuinely enjoy while helping fellow pet parents have peace of mind. I understand that every dog has their own personality, routine, and needs. Whether your pup is energetic and loves adventures or prefers cuddles and quiet companionship, I’m happy to adapt to what makes them happiest. My goal is to make sure they feel safe, loved, and comfortable while you’re away. I know how important it is to trust the person caring for your pet, which is why keeping you updated with plenty of photos, videos, and messages is of the utmost importance to me. I can’t wait to meet you and your four-legged best friend! I am currently taking the summer off from any part-time jobs and internships before I start school this August. I have a very open and flexible schedule! When caring for your pet in your home, my top priority is making sure they feel safe, comfortable, and loved while maintaining the routine they’re familiar with. I’m also great at following specific instructions because I know every pet has unique needs.
About: I’ve been taking care of dogs since childhood, and for the last five years I’ve regularly helped friends and neighbors with walking, feeding, bathing, and basic care. I understand dog behavior well and stay calm, consistent, and reliable no matter the dog’s age or personality. I currently am off season for my job, but I go to school at Alabama so it depends on when in the day and what times! But I am done at 2 pm every day. I live in a dorm that doesn’t allow pets unfortunately but next year I will live in an apartment so I will be able to sit then!
About: Hi! I’m Rachel, and I’ve been caring for pets since I was 8 years old. I have experience watching family friends’ animals and have cared for up to five dogs at once. I love going on walks, playing with pets, and making sure they feel safe and loved. I also have two dogs of my own: a cuddly Pit Bull and a crazy Corgi! I am an elementary teacher, I am completely available over the summer and most holidays but unavailable during the school year from 6 am- 4 pm I am fine sleeping in house or just checking in before leaving for the night! I can do whatever makes the pet owner most comfortable and am very open!!
About: Neighbors and friends have relied on me to take care of their dogs while gone for about a year now. Whatever you want done I can do it! I’m currently working part time so have plenty of time to take care of your pets! I love being active and enjoy long walks so dog sitting works perfectly for me! You can trust I’ll take good care of your pets! I’m very responsible, trustworthy, and love spending time playing with pups! I also love being outdoors too!
About: I have had a dog for years now. I left to go to college years ago and left my dog with my parents. I miss having pets around extremely. I have experience bathing, walking. playing with, and loving on dogs. I can do anything at your request. My schedule is very open as I am an online student at Alabama. My schedule does change weekly as I do have a part time job, but also make my own hours so I can accommodate. I will ensure to give your pets my full attention. I understand being paid for something your pets deserve the best of the best. I will be on time, feed, walk, and give any medications needed to your fur babies.

FAQs for House Sitting - Brookwood
Frequently asked questions about Rover
As of August 2026, there are 327 sitters on Rover offering House Sitting across Brookwood. 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 Brookwood 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 Brookwood 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 Brookwood 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 Brookwood. On Rover:
- 95% of sitters can help with special care needs

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.
