“Mak was amazing with our cat, Benji. She was very responsive and communicative from the start, which really helped ease our stress during the holidays. Benji is very shy, but by the end he was getting close to her—a great sign. We’re very happy to have found someone as attentive and responsible as Mak and will definitely reach out to her again. Thank you a lot!!”

“My two dogs loved their drop in visits from Kinsley so much! She did great with them and was very good at communicating with me. We would definitely book her again in the future”
“I was very apprehensive about having someone, who I didn't know, have access to my home and even more worried about them providing care to my fur babies during my long vacation in France. I met Terri twice in the weeks leading up to my trip. My pets immediately fell in love with her. She was very thorough in getting information on the cat and dog. She wrote everything down in her calendar. We coordinated schedules and she was obviously a very organized person. She was punctual and always sent pictures in the Rover report card. She also sent messages about how they were. I was over the moon happy with her care of my pets and look forward to using her services again.”
“She was incredible! We had never used Rover but we were so thankful Jade could watch Willie for us when we were gone. If you want someone who is responsible and does a great job Jade is your person.”
“I highly recommend Kathleen M.! We used her for home visits over a weekend out of town. She came by for each visit as scheduled, spent quality/focus time with our puppies, and communicated exceptionally well with us as required. We enjoyed meeting her a few days before the scheduled visits which was very comforting before we left. She takes this work very seriously and has a great love for puppies. We will use her services again.”

“Alyssa was able to watch my kitties at the last minute. I felt very comfortable having her drop-in and care for my cats, including giving one of my cats his medicine. She communicated with me every day about how they were doing and I would definitely recommend her!”
About: I am home most days of the week, and will gladly be flexible to any schedule you have! I enjoy caring for all types of animals as my family has had a wide range of pets my entire life, such as dogs, cats, squirrels, birds, and many other interesting fur babies. In my pet care experience, I have been an owner of a dachshund that had an arthritic spine and I had to take special note of what could aggravate her condition, so I had to work with her and her needs. I also had a dog with a history of seizures, and had to monitor him closely for his medication needs as well as watch for triggers in his surroundings. My entire family loves animals and we have been pet owners my entire life. I am home with my dogs most days and try to find fun activities to keep them entertained, and I’d be more than happy to do the same for your babies! I have a large fenced backyard and two friendly pups that can keep your fur baby company. I can always separate them if needed, though, should any of them show signs of stress or aggravation.

Pet parents share their Rover experiences - Dothan
We couldn’t have asked for a better pet sitter! She was incredibly accommodating with our unique situation involving Penny and took the time to follow all of our care instructions exactly. She was also so patient and understanding with our shy cat, Lucy, and made sure all three of our cats were well cared for while we were away. We came home to happy, well-loved kitties and had complete peace of mind knowing they were in such great hands. We would absolutely book with her again and highly recommend her to anyone looking for a caring, reliable sitter!
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!!

Frequently asked questions about Rover
The average cost for Pet Sitting in Dothan on Rover is $22.2 per visit (as of August 2026). However, all sitters set their own rates based on experience, location, and availability.
Rover makes budgeting the cost of Pet Sitting easy. As long as your dates and pet profiles are correct, the price you see before you book is the same price you pay for Pet Sitting. For more information on service fees, click here .
As of August 2026, there are 145 sitters on Rover offering Pet Sitting across Dothan. Enter your ZIP code to see which available sitters are closest to your home.
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.
If you would like updates while you’re away, you can discuss with your sitter how many or how frequent you’d like those updates to be. The Rover app allows sitters to send photos, videos, and messages about your pet, including how many pee or poop breaks occurred. You can message your sitter at any time through the app and our support team is available 24/7 by email or chat if you have concerns.
The personalized, in-home nature of pet care through Rover can mean more individual attention for your pet.
Many pet parents provide a spare key or arrange a lockbox. You can also exchange keys during the Meet & Greet and show your walker how to use digital fobs or personalized codes. It helps to arrange access to your home, from spare keys to concierge introductions, before pet care begins.
If you live in an apartment or condo, don’t forget to discuss details like buzzer access, codes, or elevator etiquette. These details can help a pet sitter feel more comfortable going in and out of your building.
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.
Yes, you can find sitters who have experience with handling special pet needs in Dothan. On Rover:
- 100% of sitters can help with special care needs

- 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.
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.
