“Sage did an amazing jobs with our cats on such a short notice! We were worried to go out of town for a wedding since one of our cats was a little ill, but after meeting Sage and seeing how knowledgeable and confident she was in assisting in our cats’ care (special foods, medicines) the doubts in our minds began to fade away. She stayed in frequent communication and sent us pictures of the cats during each stay. Sage is the best!”
About: As an experienced pet sitter trusted by family and friends, I provide attentive care for cats and dogs. With a natural bond that animals love, I bring the same affection to my two pets at home. I have plenty of time. Available 3 to 4 days a week and weekends. Opportunities for overnight, evening and mornings are open. Walking and play time. I can come to your home for your loved ones can feel comfortable and safe. I do have a dog that’s very friendly and loves visitors if that works for you too.
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.
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.
“So glad we found Hailey! Hailey is communicative, thoughtful, and conscientious, and she took amazing care of our kitties while we were gone. She was a natural interacting with our shy cats. Hailey provided charming updates and photos that made us smile every day we were away. Our cats and our home were in wonderful hands with Hailey and we'll be booking with her for future trips! Thanks so much, Hailey!”
“Tori has been such a pleasure to work with and took great care of our cats! She sent pictures everyday and updated us on anything we needed to know with them and our house while we were out of town. Would recommend her to anyone!”
About: I have cared for pets my entire life. My family has always had pets of some kind from dogs and cats to fish and lizards. For many years, I have cared for my own pets as well as many friends, family and neighbors. I have always been the "go to" person for people to trust their pets with. I am a stay at home mother of two small children and do not work. I have around the clock availability 7 days a week to care for your babies. For in home care, I have a fenced in back yard and two fur babies of my own to play with yours and keep them company. I am able to crate them or let them sleep openly, to your preference. For home visit care, I am able to give your pets as much or as little attention and care as needed. I can clean up after them, make sure they are secure, ensure they get plenty of exercise and attention and will always have clean water and food when instructed.
About: I have two dogs of my own as well as a cat. I also have experience watching my friends/neighbors dogs when it is needed. I would say that I am pretty experienced when it comes to watching pets, although I am new to the rover app. I am only working on rover at the moment, so I will have plenty of time to care for pets. Eventually I will have a very busy schedule when school comes back around in the spring and fall, but as of now I have all the time in the world to care for pets. I have two very nice miniature schnauzers and I have a big fenced in backyard for your pet to run around in. My neighborhood also has a nice trail that goes around the neighborhood pond and it is perfect for dog walks. I would recommend sending a kennel just in case for when I’m not here or when I’m sleeping. If your pet has some sort of anxiety/alone problems that is fine I can also use my room and sleep with him, but I would prefer a kennel.
“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 am a stay at home mom that loves animals and loves to be outside. We love to take our dogs on long walks around the neighborhood along with our four month old son. I would love to entertain your furry family members while you're away. I have a Golden Retriever, Shadow and a Labrador, Macey. They both are VERY friendly and love having dogs to play with them. We have a large fenced in back year with plush grass and natural areas for your dogs to explore. I'm happy to provide daily updates and send pictures of your dog's stay. I know letting someone else care for your pet can be stressful. I am here to make the whole experience wonderful- for you and for your doggies.
About: Im patient, attentive and love your pet as tho they were my own. I’ve had pets most of my life and currently own 4 small dogs which are part of my family. Im a student which allows me to have free time outside of my studies. I have a flexible schedule and I’m available most of the time. I have a fenced yard with four dogs of my own. If your pet was to stay with me they are free to roam most of my home excluding bedroom. I work with whatever schedule the owner may like, or they can just flow into my own pets schedules.
About: I have been a dog sitter for the past two years for some close friends of mine. I have also grown up with pets in the house and love them bunches. I'm currently working fulltime but will always work around my schedule to take care of your furry loved ones and give them the love they need. I can't currently take care of pets at my home. Though I can take care of your fur baby by giving them the attention and love that they need by playing with them, giving them cuddles or belly rubs and feeding and walking them on their scheduled time.
About: I currently have 2 puppies, one is 2 months and the other is 3 months old! I have a golden doodle and an Australian shepherd. I currently work part time so I have time early morning or after 6pm Monday through Friday and anytime on the weekends. Message me to schedule! I have a fenced in yard and 2 very friendly and playful dogs that would love a friend for a little while. They are both boys and still very young but very sweet.
“Averie took such great care of our fur-babies and respected our home while we were away. She sent pictures from each visit leaving me to enjoy my vacation and not worry. I will definitely be using her for all future pet-sitting needs.”
“I had Molly stop by for a drop-in visit when I had a day trip out of town. Prior to the appointment, Molly came by and visited with my three dogs, and they seemed to really like her. She has a quiet and calming demeanor around the dogs which is what mine need. The drop-in seemed to go great; Molly sent me pictures while she was at the house, and the dogs were happy when I got home! I look forward to having Molly house-sit in the near future.”
“Jennifer's personality promotes an environment for my pet's acceptance of and comfort with her. I will be asking her to watch over my pets during times of my absence. Pending her approval and availability she will be my petsitter long term.”
About: My goal is to create a safe and loving environment for your fur baby. My own dog Roxy is like one of my children. I understand the importance of entrusting her to a loving family. I will provide walks every two hours, we will have soft bedding for your baby, and unless you insist we do not require crates. We work from home so we will be with your fur baby the entire day. Our dog Roxy is 7 years old (Human years). She's easygoing and loves being around other animals. I will send pictures and updates of your pet's time with our family. I look forward to meeting you and your pup!! Since we work from home, we are available at all times to care for Pet needs. We let Roxy, our seven-year-old pup outside several times a day. She's potty trained, so she alerts us when she's ready to go out for a break and she alerts us when she's ready to come back in. We understand not all pups are at this level, Therefore, with watching new pets we will keep a close eye on your baby and will ensure all their needs are met and that their time with us is enjoyable. Pets are allowed in our home, we have plenty of space and are a loving pet family. We also have a fenced-in yard and a screened-in back porch for pets to get outside time in a comfortable and safe environment.

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. 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.
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.

- 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.
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.
