About: I’ve had dogs my entire life of many breeds and sizes. I train my own dog on a daily basis with obedience training. He knows how to do a handful of tricks. I also have experience with caring for senior dogs and their particular needs of all kinds. I’m a dog mom to 1 and care for him on a daily basis as well as various other family members animals. I also have 4 exotic pets that I care for on a daily basis. I will make sure to respect my clients wishes about their animals needs and wants when it comes to their animals care in their home. As well as any special requests they may have.
About: Hi, I'm Rebecca! I've cared for pets of all kind throughout my life. I live in Ashford, AL and have 2 amazing Golden Retrievers and an 11 year old rabbit. I work throughout the week, but I am almost always available on the weekends to help. My family and I are newer to the Ashford area and I'm new to Rover as well. Since we're home on the weekends, and with my experience with dogs, cats, rabbits, birds, poultry, and other small mammals, I figured that I'd give Rover a try! I'm happy to provide any references. Over the years I've done pet sitting, fostered, and owned pets of my own. I'm here to help you with your pets if you're away for an extended period of time on the weekends. Need to go to a baseball tournament? No worries, I can tend to your pets so that you don't have to rush home. I can either walk your dog, or let them out and play with them (and feed them of course)! I can also help train your puppy using positive reinforcement! Let me know how I can help! I am available on most weekends for drop-ins from 7am - 7pm. Drop-ins will be from 20 - 30 minutes. At least 24 hours are needed for bookings and cancellations. If you do not have a fenced yard, I will require that a leash and harness (or collar) to be available for dogs. If dogs need to be walked, it is assumed that your dog will be familiar with and well-behaved while walking on a leash.
About: With over 20 years of pet care experience, I treat every animal like my own. As a teacher, I’m patient, attentive, and naturally nurturing—and animals tend to warm up to me quickly. You can count on reliable, loving care while you’re away! I am a teacher whose 19 year old fur baby recently passed away. I have the time and can incorporate what I am missing by loving on your pets. I will care for your pets as if they were my very own. Follow your directions and you can rest assured they will be loved.
“Madison came by for a meet and greet for our cat but we ended up needing her for the dogs instead. She was great about adjusting to our need. She played with them and they seemed to love loved her. Would use again!”
About: I raised my own dog until he passed at the age of 13. I take care of my friends dogs whenever they go away or need a sitter quick. I’m new to the Dothan area. I’m a current medical student in my 3rd year at VCOM so looking for things to do on the weekend! I work at the that can local hospitals so weekends are ideally what I’m looking to fill in right now. Shoot me a text and I’ll be more than willing to talk about availability! I have no current dogs. I live in a manufactured home that can I can care for a dog in. Lots of area for walks!
“Cassidy took care of our dog while I was away for an evening. I found Cassidy to be flexible, professional, and communicative. Other than Carolina being perfectly cared for, I couldn't tell Cassidy was in my home- meaning everything was done exactly as I would have done it.”
About: Come. Stay. Play. It's a win-win relationship when I sit your pup. Enjoyment and Enrichment is what I feel and your pup will be happy, relaxed and safe. Long walks, belly rubs, fetch and squeak toys. You can feel at ease knowing your fur baby is in good hands. My strength is being reliable and responsible. You can trust that your home will be well cared for and that I will quickly respond to your text. Your fur baby safety is certainly important to me. Dogs are walked while they are on a leash and I carefully watch out for pet escape artist. Treat your pooch!! Love and Treats!! I also have experience caring for cats, bunnies, turtles, and even bearded dragons!! I'm open to learn more about your pet. My four- legged friends!!
About: I've taken care of different breeds & size dogs for 6 years now. I love animals & want to help take care of them. I have taken care of puppies, senior dogs, & ages in between. I work full time at my job. Weekends are best for me, but I can stay somewhere during the week, as long as it's not too far from my work. I also can go during my lunch to let dogs out to potty &/or check on them, as long as it's not too far from my work. I have a semi fenced in back yard. I have one dog outside & he has come inside sometimes, but hes not completelyhouse trained & I have one cat inside. They are both around 3 years old.
About: I’ve taken care of all types of animals ranging from dogs, cats, chickens, and lizards! We’ve had animals in my own family for as long as i can remember we currently have a dog and chickens and maybe cows soon! I have a personal love for animals! If for some reason my dog Oliver doesn’t get along with your pet I live in a separated part of the house so it will be very easy for me to keep them out of contact. I’m currently working full time but i’m off most saturdays and mondays, and then just whenever else they do not schedule me! I’m very communicative and will work with you as best I can! I care for my own pets with love and care making sure they always have what they need and definitely things they want too lol! In others homes I would show them the same love as my own pets and follow whatever instructions left to a T.
About: I give every dog the same care and attention as if they were my own. I'm experienced with all breeds, temperaments, and energy levels. I'm patient, observant, and great at following routines. I'm especially comfortable with puppies and senior dogs. I also provide regular photo and text updates so pet parents feel at ease while they’re away. Pet care fits naturally into my routine, especially on Saturdays, Sundays, and Mondays, when I have the flexibility to dedicate quality time to walks, play, feeding, and companionship. I plan my day around the pets I’m caring for to ensure they receive plenty of attention, exercise, and affection—not just quick check-ins. Your dog will never feel rushed or overlooked. I currently have a Goldendoodle, so I understand the importance of consistency, positive reinforcement, and a calm environment. In my home, dogs are treated like family—safe, supervised, and given plenty of love, playtime, and structured walks. I maintain a clean space and follow each dog’s individual routine closely. When caring for pets in a client’s home, I respect their space and follow instructions carefully to keep pets comfortable and stress-free in their familiar environment. Also, my apartment has a dog park.
“Court was phenomenal! She went out of her way to let me know if she was running late, always sent pictures and updates of the dogs! I felt like my dogs were taken care of by family; she made sure to pay fetch and play with them, tiring them out. She even checked in on my cat when she didn't have to. I would definitely recommend her and will be using her again!”
About: I’m excited to apply what I’ve learned about my pets to others. Every pet has their own personality I want to get to know them. Pet car fits perfectly into my schedule as I complete college online and am home majority of the day they always have my undivided attention. I have a semi fenced yard but so much for them to run in the back. I have a fur baby of my own who loves to play, he’s gentle and sweet. He treats other dogs with respect and knows to set a boundary if they want to play or not.

We were needing a pet sitter and found Mak! Our 3 dogs seemed to be magnetized to her, with detailed reports and pictures on all the dogs while we were away made it easy to get away and still know our dogs were in great hands. Highly recommend her to anyone needing pet sitting services!!
She was great! Attended four dogs, two pups, two seniors. They enjoyed her company and she helped stress feed the senior. Would definitely have her back in the future if available. This was also last minute and she was very help with the flexible schedule and updates.

A pet sitter can provide focused care sessions, help your pet’s routine stay on track, or keep you updated on your pet’s mood and energy levels.
Whether you’re at the office for the day or traveling for a few nights, a pet sitter can offer potty breaks during a Dothan stroll, cleaning the litter box, or making sure your pet has on-time food or water refills. For daytime services like walking and drop-ins, you can also request sitters to send a report card with every visit.
Tip: You can discuss your specific arrangements with a pet sitter on Rover to what fits you, your pet, and your sitter’s needs. To find what their special skills are, look at the "Skills" and "Pet care experience" sections on their profile.
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 Dothan 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!
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 .
The Rover Guarantee is Rover’s commitment to your peace of mind every time you book.

All bookings are backed by the Rover Guarantee , which provides up to $25,000 in eligible veterinary care reimbursement.
A Meet & Greet is a short introductory meeting between you, your dog, 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.
While Rover doesn’t offer traditional subscription services, some sitters offer recurring bookings for services like home visits and dog walking. Recurring services come with their own perks, such as flexibility to modify services (up to five weeks in advance), automatic billing, Rover Card updates, and same-day cancellations.
To find sitters in Dothan with recurring or weekly availability, select "Repeat Weekly" and which days you’d like them to care for your pet.

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.
