“Natasha was amazing! She gave our pets so much love and attention while we were away. We appreciated the photos so much! It was a relief coming home to happy and relaxed pups!”
“Hannah did a fantastic job with our old girl, Sophie! She was very communicative and sent pics throughout the weekend while we were away! I look forward to having her dog sit again!”
“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!! 🐶🐶🤩”
About: I pride myself on being dependable, communicating regularly with pet parents through updates and photos, and following each pet’s routine to help them feel safe and comfortable while you’re away. My goal is to provide not only exceptional care for your pets but also peace of mind for you. Pet care is a meaningful part of my weekly routine. I set aside time each day for walks, feeding, playtime, exercise, and companionship. I am dependable, flexible, and committed to providing safe, loving, and attentive care that keeps every pet happy, comfortable, and following their normal routine. I follow each pet’s routine with feeding, fresh water, walks, potty breaks, playtime, and lots of affection. I provide a safe, clean environment and regular updates.
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.
“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!”
“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.”
“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!!”
“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.”
About: Hi there! I’m a lifelong dog lover with 40+ years of hands-on experience caring for dogs of all sizes, breeds, and personalities. From energetic puppies to senior companions, I understand that every dog has unique needs -- and I truly enjoy getting to know what makes each one happy, comfortable, and secure. Caring for dogs has never felt like a job to me -- it’s something I genuinely love. Whether it’s daily walks, playtime, or overnight stays, I take pride in creating a calm, attentive, and nurturing environment where your dog feels right at home. I’m patient, reliable, and attentive to details like routines, feeding schedules, medications, and those little quirks that make your dog who they are. I especially enjoy getting outside for walks and making sure dogs get both the physical activity and mental stimulation they need. For overnight care, I focus on consistency and comfort so your dog experiences as little disruption as possible while you’re away. Your dog’s safety, happiness, and well-being are always my top priorities -- and I’ll care for them as if they were my own. I’d love the opportunity to meet you and your dog! Pet care fits naturally into my schedule alongside my full-time role. I have a consistent daily routine that allows me to provide dependable care before and after work, as well as in the evenings. I’m also available for early morning walks, evening visits, and overnight stays, ensuring your dog receives attention, exercise, and companionship throughout the day. My schedule is especially flexible on weekends, which allows me to dedicate additional time for longer walks, drop-ins, and extended care. I’m intentional about only accepting bookings that I can fully commit to, so you can feel confident your pet will receive reliable, attentive care every time. When caring for pets in a client’s home, my goal is to maintain as much of their normal routine as possible so they feel comfortable, secure, and relaxed while you’re away. I follow your instructions closely for feeding, walks, medications, and any specific preferences or habits your pet is used to. I make sure your pet receives plenty of attention, companionship, and exercise -- whether that’s regular walks, playtime, or simply spending quiet time together. I’m attentive to behavior and mood, so I can quickly notice if anything seems off and communicate with you right away if needed. I also treat your home with the same respect and care I would my own -- keeping things tidy, secure, and organized. You can expect regular updates, photos, and check-ins so you feel confident and connected while you’re away. My priority is always to provide dependable, loving care so your pet stays happy and your home is well cared for in your absence.
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!
“Five star rating!! Logan Grace took such good care of our six fur babies, while we vacationed. We knew after our meet and greet that we wouldn’t have to worry about leaving them in her care. She was very attentive and responsive to all of their needs, even taking notes! She went above and beyond, not only to feed and clean out liter boxes twice a day, but played with them all, as well!! We really were able to relax, knowing that she was there through the night with them. We so appreciated all the pictures of them and her texts to keep us up to date on how they were doing. Our six kitties love their new Nanny, Logan Grace, and so do we!!!”
About: I am thrilled to spend time with as many furry and fluffy friends as possible. This summer I am going to be very active and engaged with a lot of outside activities. I have two adorable dogs and they enjoy running with my family. We have a fun dog park and a pet spa where all the cleaning and grooming magic happens. I often take my dogs around the city to bigger parks and we have a lot of toys for them. I have been taking care of pets since 2010. I took some time off, but now I'm available again for the summer. I am available mostly weekdays, but if I am really needed I can extend my availability to the weekends. Please let me know in advance.
“Excellent sitter! Will be hiring again. She is organized, attentive to detail, and attuned to my dogs' needs. She did an excellent job caring for my senior dogs--highly recommend her! Thank you, Alicia!!!”
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.
“Greer stayed at our house for a week and a half while we were on vacation with our sweet pup. She sent lots of picture and updates and we could tell that our pup was having a great time with her. The house was in perfect shape when we got home too. I highly recommend Greer and we will certainly be reaching out to her the next time we are out of town. Thanks again!”

FAQs for House Sitting - Cecil
Frequently asked questions about Rover
As of July 2026, there are 115 sitters on Rover offering House Sitting across Cecil. 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 Cecil 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 Cecil 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 Cecil 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.
