About: What sets me apart from other sitters is my dedication to providing personalized care for each dog. I have extensive experience in training puppies, ensuring they develop good habits early on. Additionally, I specialize in senior dog care, offering gentle and attentive support for older pets. My approach is all about understanding each dog's unique needs and making sure they feel coming and loved while you're away. Pet care is a big part of my daily routine. I make sure to set aside time every day for feeding, walking, and playing with my furry friends. It's essential to me to prioritize their well-being and happiness, so I always make sure they get the attention and care they need. Whether it's a quick walk in the morning or some playtime in the evening, I love being there for them and making sure they feel loved and cared for. When I'm caring for pets in my own home, I make sure to create a safe and comfy environment. I have designated spaces for them to sleep, play, and eat. I keep a close eye on them and make sure they get plenty of exercise and love. At a client's home, I stick to the pet's regular routine as much as possible. I follow any specific instructions the owner gives me to make sure their pet feels comfortable and secure. Whether it's feeding schedules, medication, or favorite toys, I make sure to keep everything consistent so the pet feels right at home.
About: As a pet owner and part-time sitter, I have plenty of experience with dogs, cats, and reptiles alike! I’m familiar with and comfortable caring for a variety of breeds, big and small. I currently work part-time mornings, leaving me available most afternoons to do pet care! I tend to be available past 2pm throughout the week. I tailor my drop-in visits to each pet’s individual needs, ensuring every animal is cared for to the fullest. This can include feeding and watering, administering certain medications, potty breaks, cleaning litter boxes, or playtime!
“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!!”
About: Hi! I’m Dusty — full-time dog lover, part-time treat dispenser, and your pup’s next favorite human. I share my home (and heart) with two Australian Cattle Dogs: Leia the bossy big sister and Griff the chaotic little brother. They keep me on my toes and have trained me quite well in the art of fetch, belly rubs, and spotting squirrels from 300 yards. Whether your dog needs a cozy place to stay, a midday stroll, or just someone who understands that “zoomies” are a way of life — I’ve got you covered. I’m experienced, attentive, and treat every dog like they’re part of my pack (yes, baby talk included). Let’s make some tails wag! Growing up, I fostered senior dogs, walked pups for elderly neighbors, and even cared for a retired military K9 until he was reunited with his handler — so your dog is in good hands, and likely good company too. I’m currently working full-time 40 hours during the week. I have time after 6 PM during the week and all day during the weekend. Preferably early mornings. I want to make sure every animal I care for is comfortable And get to know their personality and what they enjoy so it can be an enriching experience for them and not stressful.
About: Many years of experience caring for dogs and cats of all ages, from playful puppies and kittens to seniors needing extra care. Ready to care for them like they are my own! I’m full time retired, I have a lot of time on my hands to watch fur babies! I have the transportation and time to come to any home to watch them or bring them back to mine. I have a 3 bedroom home, I currently have 3 of my own sweet cats inside, I have 4 that roam outside on their own feee will. They get fed in the morning cans & have dry food throughout the day when they please. They’re all fixed & trained if they are living fully inside.
About: Hello my name is Aj! I have been taking care of animals since I could say the word dog! I am also wanting to persue the vet field! I own 7 dogs 3 cat and 2 reptiles.

I use to work at the dog daycare furkids club! I mostly available Wednesday and Thursdays but if given enough time (2 weeks) I can make do and work with you! I can also work around my schedule if need be When I come to a Clients home I will treat their babies just as if they were my own. They will get the same treatment my dogs would good!
“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.
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 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.
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.

Dog parents share their Rover experiences - Fort Rucker
best experience we have ever had with a dog sitter! MJ met with us and our pup rico before hand, left the most detailed report cards, and lots pictures of how our puppy was doing! we can tell just how much our dog loves her personally too! he was well taken care of while we were away!! 10,000% would recommend her for your next rover / dog sitter experience!
Zyane is an excellent dog sitter and took great care of my Indy. She was more than willing to shift her schedule whenever I had last minute changes in my work schedule. She is reliable, consistent and considerate. She let me know in advance whenever her schedule changed so that I wasn’t rushing to find a last minute pet sitter. She would clean my dog’s paws after he got them muddy on their walks and I didn’t even have to ask her. She is very attentive and amazing to work with. 10/10 recommend
Hector was the perfect fit for our two large dogs. He was very knowledgeable, patient, and thorough. He gave medications, took them on walks, and even helped clean up after they got sick. We loved the check-ins and our boys loved having him stop by! Thanks, Hector!!
Kristen is just awesome! Last month somehow messed up scheduling a date Kristen and I had discussed for her too care for my three mini dachshunds on the day when I would be gone from home from 3 AM until 830 or 9 PM. I discovered that I had never scheduled it the night before we were to leave. I reached out to her via the River site. She advised that she already had a really busy day scheduled, and yet, still found time to schedule to drop in visits to check on my kids, feed them, and give them potty breaks. I let her know that I understood her being busy and that I could make other arrangements because I did not want to overburden her day when she was already so busy. She insisted that she was able to do the two drop in visits. My baby love her to death. She is such an awesome, caring, kind person. She goes above and beyond. She is a sitter, pet caregiver extraordinaire!!!

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 Fort Rucker 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.

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.

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.
