About: Over 10 years of experience has taught me the ins and outs of keeping your furry friend happy and healthy. I can ensure a stress-free experience for both you and your pet! My pets are a cherished part of my daily and weekly routine! Each morning starts with a walk or playtime session, keeping them happy and energized. Throughout the day, I sprinkle in quick check-ins to ensure they have fresh water, a clean litter box (if applicable), and maybe even a quick cuddle session. Evenings often involve another walk or playtime, followed by feeding and quality bonding time. Weekends can be filled with longer adventures like hikes or trips to the dog park. Your pet's comfort is my top priority! When caring for your furry friend in their own home, I seamlessly integrate into their daily routine. Mornings begin with fresh food, water refills, and a walk or playtime session to keep them energized. Throughout the day, I provide potty breaks, playtime, and cuddles (of course!), ensuring they feel loved and secure. Evenings involve another walk or playtime, followed by feeding and quality bonding time. This consistent schedule minimizes stress for your pet while you're away.

“Raylin was amazing! She sat our two pups in our house for almost a week. This was the first time we have left them alone at home this long and she took great care of them. They really took to her. We will definitely reach back out to Raylin when we need a sitter again!”

About: Caring for animals isn’t just something I do—it’s something I truly love. I have experience with pets of all ages, sizes, and personalities, from energetic puppies who need structure and training to senior pets who deserve gentle, attentive care. I’m comfortable with administering basic medications, maintaining consistent routines, and recognizing changes in behavior or health. Pet care is a regular and important part of my daily routine, not something I squeeze in last minute. I plan my schedule around the pets I’m caring for to ensure they get consistent attention, timely feedings, walks, and playtime. I’m available for morning, midday, and evening visits, and I make sure each pet gets the time and care they need without feeling rushed. Whether it’s daily drop-ins or extended stays, I stay organized and committed so your pet’s routine stays as normal and stress-free as possible. When caring for pets in your home, I focus on keeping their routine consistent in a familiar environment. I handle feeding, walks, playtime, litter box or yard clean-up, and any special care needs like medications. I also respect your home by keeping things tidy and secure, and I provide regular updates so you can feel confident your pet is happy and well cared for while you’re away.

About: I have worked in animal care fields for over five years. I used to work at two different boarding facility's where we would get not only dogs but cats and even birds sometimes. I have also stayed at family and neighbors houses while they were away to help with there fur babies! I look forward to meeting your beloved animals no matter how big or small! I currently work full time at a bank. I have a lot of free time for the weekends and for after work. I have to be at my work by 8:15 but will be able to come depending how close for my lunch to let the babies out. I get off around five so I will be back for the rest of the night. I am currently not able to bring pets to my home due to one of my dogs not being the friendliest. I am able to come and stay at your residence and also available for walking.

About: I am a cat person through and through. I have 4 cats of my own - 2 British shorthairs and 2 rescues. I make sure to give them as much stimulation and play as possible and I’ll treat your cats as if they were my own. I know how hard it can be to find sitters who prioritize cats, and too often kitty care is an afterthought. But not for me! I’ll give your babies the attention and playtime they deserve. Though I am most passionate about cats, I will make sure all the animals in your home are fully taken care of and happy while you’re away. I have experience administering medication, caring for kittens and senior cats, as well as dogs, fish, reptiles, and birds. I work as a freelance media buyer and have full control of my remote schedule. My husband and I used to travel a lot for work, and I really struggled to find quality care for my own 4 cats when we went away. As someone who has dealt firsthand with some not-so-great cat sitters, I really know what it takes to give pet owners peace of mind while away from home. My schedule is completely moldable to your needs. If caring for pets in your home is not an option, I have a spare bedroom with a window and a cat tree, window perch and toys that I have reserved for fostering cats. While I prefer to care for animals in your own home, I will happily take them in if it would be beneficial for your situation.

“I can’t recommend Debra enough! She stayed overnight with our dogs for several nights, and we couldn’t have asked for a better sitter. From the very beginning, her communication was wonderful. She made scheduling easy, kept us updated throughout our trip, and sent plenty of photos and messages so we always knew our dogs were happy and well cared for. She went above and beyond by taking them on lots of walks, spending so much time playing with them, and giving them all the love and attention they needed. It gave us such peace of mind knowing they were not only being cared for but were genuinely having a great time while we were away. We’re so grateful for everything Debra did and will absolutely be booking with her again. If you’re looking for someone who is kind, reliable, communicative, and truly cares about your pets, I highly recommend Debra!”

About: I’ve grown up around animals my whole life. I have been with inside dogs to outside. No size scares me and have dealt with dogs that have required full 24/7 care with timed medications. I’m currently a college student looking for morning work aside from my afternoon job. If you need a home sister or someone to check in on the weekends I am your person as-well! In your home, I follow the same standards I would for my own. Your dog is my top priority whether we’re snuggling, playing fetch or tug-of-war, or enjoying a walk. I provide care with patience, attention, and genuine love, just as every dog deserves. You tell me what your dog needs and I will be there.

About: I’ve been a dedicated dog owner for many years and currently care for two Labrador mixes of my own, including a senior dog and a younger, active dog. Through daily walks, feeding routines, medication management when needed, and providing plenty of love and attention, I’ve gained hands-on experience caring for dogs with different needs and energy levels. Friends and family have trusted me to help care for their pets, and I understand how important it is to have someone reliable looking after your furry family members. I will treat every pet in my care as if they were my own, ensuring they feel safe, comfortable, and loved while you’re away. I work a full-time job Monday through Friday from 9 AM to 5 PM, but I’m available mornings, evenings, and weekends. Weekends are especially flexible for me, allowing plenty of time for walks, drop-in visits, playtime, and quality care. I’ll always communicate clearly about my availability so you know exactly what to expect. Your pet’s safety, comfort, and well-being are my top priorities. I understand that trusting someone with your furry family member is a big decision, and I am committed to providing dependable, attentive care while keeping you updated with messages and photos. I take the time to learn each pet’s routine, preferences, and any special instructions to help them feel comfortable and secure. Whether it’s a walk, drop-in visit, or overnight stay in your home, I will treat your pet with the same care and respect that I give my own. Please note that I live in an apartment and am unable to provide boarding or pet sitting in my home. However, I am available for walks, drop-in visits, and house sitting in your pet’s familiar environment, where many pets feel most relaxed and comfortable.

About: I have years of experience caring for sick puppies to elderly pups. I love all dogs and provide the best possible care for them. No breed restrictions. I have a fairly flexible schedule so I am able to accommodate most any need. My whole life literally revolves around animals from transporting rescue pups to caring for my own.

“Jordan recently house sat for us and took care of our greyhound. She did a great job! Our poor dog had just broken her toe and was in a splint, so she required extra care and medication. We could not have asked for better care. She is highly recommended and we are looking forward to using her services again.”

About: I have helped raise and train 4 dogs. I dog sit my parents golden retriever and Bernadoodle anytime they go out of town. I love all animals and would love to take care of them! I currently work the dinner shift at Oso in orange beach. I typically only work 3-9/10 and would be available anytime during the day and can even stop by after I get off for a night walk and treats. I live in an apartment so I am unable to bring in extra pets but can easily adapt to your pets routine in your home.

About: Hi! My name is Stacey and I absolutely adore dogs and spending time with them! I have one dog myself, a 13 year old wire-haired terrier named Sadie. I would love to walk/check in on or provide overnight care for your sweet pups and will spend extra time with them and give them all the love and attention! I'm a huge animal lover and believe they have personalities just as much as humans!! I am very compassionate and understanding towards animals and believe they should be shown nothing but love. I have lots of experience in dog/puppy training and also providing senior care. My own dog has senior health issues so I am familiar with special diets/medicine as well. I am the dog walker/dogsitter that you want for your sweet fur babies! :) I have a flexible job in sales and am in and out of my home throughout the day. I take my own dog on multiple walks throughout the day and will be able to make your dog gets plenty of exercise and potty breaks. I am happy to do whatever the client's specific needs are for their dog. I am very loving and love to give praise and reassurance to dogs in my care and happy to follow any specific care instructions their owner has. I love taking dogs for walks, and I will be sure each dog gets plenty of one-on-one care.

About: I have had dogs, sometimes multiple ones, all my life. I am an animal lover, and advocate, of all kinds of animals. I just lost my Maltese of 13 years old which traveled the world with me literally. I was only away from him for two nights his whole life, and that was bc he spent the night at the vets one night, and I spent the night at the hospital one night. He went everywhere with me. From restaurants to Walmart. If I went he went. I have no children, so he was my child. I will treat your baby with the same love, and care. I have a newly build house with an acre that is fenced in. So, if your dog is large and likes to run outside, it can. I also have a screened in back porch. You baby will be safe and loved in my home. I am retired and spend most of my time at home. So your dog will be supervised, as per hour request. I am flexible and will listen to the owners request, as much as possible. I have a fenced in acre of land. I also have a screen in back porch. If you have small dogs, they can run freely, and I would stay outside to watch them. If you have large dogs they can stay out all they want. Dogs love me! They know if you are of good character, or not.

“You can trust Bella. She was super communicative and so organized. She even kept a journal of how many treats our 3 babies got. Our house was in better shape than we left it. Our flight got significantly delayed and Bella stepped in and stayed an extra night and took so much stress off a stressful situation. So grateful we found her. We will definitely have her take care of our house and animals again.”

Jessica did an amazing job with our dogs this past weekend. We are new to the area and didn’t really know anyone that could take care of them at our home. After meeting Jessica, I knew we had found the right sitter for our fur babies. During her overnight stay, she took care of both pups and gave us peace of mind that they were well cared for. Thanks Jessica !!!!

FAQs for House Sitting - Fairhope

Frequently asked questions about Rover

Rover is the largest marketplace for local pet care. Whether you're looking for pet sitters, dog walkers, or house sitters who specialize in pet sitting, you can narrow your search by entering your ZIP code to find sitters within walking distance in your neighborhood.

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 Fairhope 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 Fairhope 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.

<b>Tip:</b> 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 Fairhope 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 , 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 .

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 casual meeting to vet potential sitters and communicate care needs for peace of mind before a booking begins. Only sitters who have never booked with you before can schedule a Meet & Greet on Rover; however, you are welcome to coordinate one in Rover messages with sitters you have previously booked. This can be helpful if you have a new pet or routine you want to go over with your sitter.

Meet & Greets can take place in person or virtually. If you are booking with a sitter for the first time, we recommend in-person Meet & Greets to get a clearer sense of how your sitter interacts with your pet 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. Meet & Greets are a great way to prepare your pet and sitter for longer stays or first-time bookings. Read our tips for your first .

sitters on Rover set their own , which you can find on their profile under their contact information. Sitters may set a same-day, one-, three-, or seven-day cancellation policy. Cancelling within your sitter’s cancellation policy qualifies you for a full refund.

Same-day cancellations for recurring services, which include walks, drop-ins, and day care, follow the full refund policy. Otherwise, for pet boarding and house sitting, if you cancel after 12 pm on the applicable cancellation deadline, you’ll receive a 50% refund for the first seven days of the booking and a 100% refund for any remaining days.

If your sitter needs to cancel within seven days of the booking's start date, then our reservation protection will kick in. This means you will get a full refund and our support team will work 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.
