“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!”

Additionally, I specialize in senior dog care, offering gentle and attentive support for older pets.

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!!!

You and your sitter can agree on a care schedule that fits your pet’s routine and the sitter’s availability. Pet Sitting can be booked as a one-time or recurring drop-in visit. If you need overnight care or dog walks, you may also be able to book House Sitting or Dog Walking through Rover with the same sitter, provided they offer those services.
Before booking, confirm:
- the timing, length, and frequency of visits;
- the care instructions the sitter should follow;
- which parts of your pet’s usual routine should be prioritized;
- how often you would like to receive messages, photos, or other updates.
Not every sitter offers the same services, availability, or booking options. Review their profile and discuss the care you need through Rover before booking each service.
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.
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 .

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 Meet & Greet .
