“Maggie is absolutely phenomenal. She went above and beyond for my Lilo. She was super thorough and communicated throughout each visit. She loved my girl like her own while we were away. We highly recommend Maggie for your pets care! We will be booking with her again!”
“Danielle was excellent for checking in and feeding, scooping litter, etc. My Bucky boy. She sent me messages when she was there to feed him and a pic each time. I was relaxed and calm knowing he was in good hands.”
“Taylor took care of our pups on a last minute booking and was great, as always! I know my dogs are well taken care of and happy to see her when she tends to them. It’s such a relief to know how well they are taken care of when we are away and that they are happy to spend time with her which is great to see in dogs that are anxious. I never have to worry about leaving our fur babies when Taylor is watching after them.”
“kirsten was so good with our pup. it was our first time using rover so we were a little nervous. she took pictures, took him for his early morning walks, and played with him for drip ins!”
About: Whether you need me to walk your pet or just stop by, I’m game for it all! I’ve spent lots of time watching dogs, cats and even frogs for friends and family. I currently have a lot of free time and can typically make my schedule work to what’s best for your pet. My wife and I have an adorable little pupper ourselves. He’s a joy to have around and down for any adventure if you want your dog to have company on walks or during drop-ins. So, don’t worry about your favorite companions, I got them covered. I currently have a lot of free time, due to work only taking up 2 days a week. My schedule is really flexible right now! We unfortunately don’t have a fenced in yard. So I take my dog on lots of walks and trips to the dog park. I love to spend time playing with furry friends, and will give your pet my best every time!
“Kali was very friendly and took great care of our two cats. Even our shy cat was very fond of her! She provided daily updates with pictures and I could tell she genuinely cared. When we returned, our cats were in better spirits than they normally are after we take a trip. We will definitely be booking with her for our next trip.”
“My cats are normally shy but loved Amber & greeter her during meet and greet & even let her pet them during the visit. They obviously love her & give all the paws up for excellent service.”
About: I have owned dogs my entire life. Growing up I helped take care of my Australian Shepherd/Lab mix, as well as my German Shepherd/Chow mix and my Swiss Mountain/Bernese mix! Now I have a 5-year old black lab/boxer mix and a 5-year old Sheepadoodle. I am used to high energy dogs that need a run! I can help you take care of your pup however you need whether it’s running, playing, cuddling, etc. I also have experience with dog aggressive dogs. I have a busy Monday-Friday and therefore I can help out mornings and evenings. I am available all day Saturday/Sunday. I spend my weekends close to home (and if I’m away I will update my calendar to show that)! When I am with your pup, in your home, it’s your rules! I will take care of them and treat them as if they’re my own, but I will be respectful of the training and rules you worked hard to set for your dog.
About: I’ve had dogs my whole life. I am super experienced with dogs ranging from Yorkies to Dobermans. I love to cuddle, play, take on walks and just be around dogs. I currently own a black lab who’s one year old now! I would love to help you out with any of your pet needs. I also live on base !! I am not working currently so my days are totally open! I am available to walk or drop in any time throughout the day!! I’m flexible with weekends as well! I like to make your dogs feel at home. Whether I’m doing a drop in or they are at my house. I will always put them first and make sure they feel safe and loved. I will easily and gladly follow your instructions to make sure your fur babies feel safe.
About: I have a 13-years-young dog of my own and have enjoyed fostering manyyy dogs and cats from the animal shelter over the years. I genuinely love getting to know each pet and will ensure yours receives lots of attention, patience and care! I’m available most weekdays, and my schedule can be easily tailored to your pet’s needs! Just let me know what works best for you and your schedule. I am currently not offering pet boarding or overnight house sitting. If this is a need, don’t hesitate to reach out and we can discuss.
About: I’ve loved dogs my whole life and taken care of friends and family’s furry friends for years. I watched my sisters pitbull while she was deployed. I just have time to hang out with your furry friends. Time during the day to walk or the flexibility to watch your dogs at home where their happy. I prefer to stay in your house where your dog is accustom and comfortable so not much is changing once you leave and you come back. Dogs like routine too.
“Lynde was very prompt in responses and helped us with last minute needs. She took great care of our dog and sent pictures with each visit. She gave detailed descriptions of their visits and how he was doing while we were away. Thank you!”
“Shyla & John were perfect! Shyla dropped in on our cat once a day for 14 days over the Christmas holiday. She is very responsive, easy to communicate with, and very accommodating. She responded almost immediately when I requested if she was available and was accommodating when I worried about our cat being alone for too long on the first day. She was able to stop by earlier and also dropped by during a few times on the automatic feeder since I needed reassurance that it was actually working! I would definitely recommend to anybody!”

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
James was an exceptional sitter! He paid attention to details, and was thorough on every visit. I loved getting all the pictures of my fur baby, along with other aspects of her care I requested. His communication was clear and timely. I was worried to leave my pet while on vacation, but it was clear very quickly that my pet was in responsible and caring hands. I really appreciated that he took the time to actually play with and care for my cat, not a simple drop in to feed her. I will definitely use James again as a pet sitter if I need one!
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!!!

Frequently asked questions about Rover
The average cost for Pet Sitting in Fort Rucker on Rover is $18.79 per visit (as of July 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 July 2026, there are 146 sitters on Rover offering Pet Sitting across Fort Rucker. 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 Fort Rucker 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 Fort Rucker. On Rover:
- 100% of sitters can help with special care needs
- 92% can help with giving oral medications or injections
- 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.
