“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!”
“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.”
“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.”
About: Whether it's daily walks, administering oral medication, or just giving extra belly rubs and attention, I know how important it is to feel your pet is in good hands. I'm here to make that experience worry-free and full of tail-wags (or happy purrs). I can't wait to meet your furry friend! I work full-time hybrid schedule, so some weekdays I'm able to do daycare for housebroke, friendly pups. On the weekends, I'm happy to do drop-in visits, dog walking, or just spend some time with your pets! I have a small, friendly dog of my own to keep your furry friends company if they come visit or go on walks! He loves playing with other dogs, and easily makes friends. I live in a house with a fenced in backyard in a walk-friendly neighborhood. I'm happy to crate your dog(s) when needed, and you can bet they'll always receive lots of love and pets!
“Payton was outstanding while taking care of Freya and Bruiser for the 3 day 9 visit booking. I noticed nothing should of out standing care from Payton. Her visits were o. Tome, we'll planed with Freya n Bruiser being well cared for. Payton displayed professional, caring visits resulting in Both Freya n Bruiser displacing fantastic satisfaction toward their care. Payton was exceptional in food prep, separating feeding time, play time and maintained cleanliness with my home during her visits. Will definitely recommend, and book Payton for all future visits. Freya n Bruiser 100% approves this review.”
“Annetta did an amazing job! I can’t thank her enough for everything she has done for our little fur family! She went above and beyond and I will gladly recommend her to anyone who needs a pet sitter!”
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!
About: I have always had pet dogs and cats that I took care of basically since I was old enough to do so. I have also watched many neighbors animals throughout my life. As a grad student I have an ever-changing schedule allowing me to be free at odd hours to let pets out or take them for walks while their owners work. Your pets safety is the of the utmost importance to me. I follow your pets feeding, walk, and play schedules so that they feel the most comfortable and at home as they can while you're away or at work. I respect your home as if it was my own keeping it tidy and treating it with care. I just want your pets to feel relaxed and happy.
“Thad was wonderful! We were able to do a meet and greet before our trip and I had no worries at all leaving our dogs for him to check in on. He also sent pictures which we greatly appreciated!”
“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!”
“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 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 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.
“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.
