“Becky did a wonderful job with our dogs. She was available last minute to help out when another sitter fell through, paid great attention to detail, and I fully trusted her while we were away. She made sure to check in multiple times a day and sent pictures and videos of our pups. Would be happy to book again in the future.”
“Molli was very communicative, easy to book with and very nice! She took care of my 2 dogs and showed them lots of love!! Kept my home cleaned and I even came back to it cleaner than I left it so as a mom of 3 I absolutely appreciated it ❤️ definitely will be booking when in need again 😊”
About: Hello! My name is Mia. And growing up our house was always full of animals mostly due to my dads ability to have strays “mysteriously” follow him home. Which then caused me and my sisters to follow in his footsteps which then led to a house full of dogs and cats. I have experience with dogs of all ages and sizes. But for most of my life we only had large dogs but as of 3 years ago we adopted a chihuahua mix named Snooki from the humane society who became our first official small dog of the home. Followed by a French bulldog, brownie, who we were fostering and then came to adopt. In my pet sitting experience I have had seniors and puppies. Each dog has their own unique personality that can require patience, consistency, and giving them lots of attention. I am comfortable with maintaining feeding schedules, routines, and providing an environment that feels like home while also tailoring to their needs. As a pet owner myself I know the importance of trust, safety, and communication are to pet owners. My goal is to make sure that I give safe, comfortable and loving care to your pet that gives both you and your pet a peace of mind. I am currently a college student that is taking 3 classes. Monday-Thursday are when my classes are from time 8:30am-4:00pm. But Friday’s, Saturday’s and Sunday’s I have free time. I care for pets in the clients home by following the instructions or rules that were given to me. And also my keeping the dogs routine and environment as close to their “normal” as possible.
“Once again Abril did great with my pups. One of my pups had an emergency while I was gone and Abril took such care with him and made sure he was comfortable. She took him to the vet for me because I couldn’t back in time and made she sure communicated with me during the entire visit. So happy to have her look after my pups.”
“This was our first time leaving our dog at home with a sitter and we were a little nervous as he has had some bad separation anxiety in the past. He seemed to really like Taylor though! We're so glad to have found her. She also kept our home nice and clean and also took care of taking the trash out on a specific day and giving our dog his heart worm meds on a specific day without us having to worry about reminders. Photo updates were great too! Thanks, Taylor!”
“HIGHLY recommend Shylynn, she will go above and beyond for you and your fur babies. Im so happy we found her. Definitely our #1 from now on, being new to Rover she has definitely made our experience wonderful.”
About: I've taken care of animals large and small for more than 9 years. I have experience with dogs as small as chihuahuas and as large as Alaskan Malamutes. As well as exotic pets like sugar gliders and hamsters. I am very well versed in caring for senior dogs as I've had large breed dogs live up to 15 years. I am a full time student so I have no classes on Fridays, weekends, holidays and I am also available all weekends for full time pet care. I am well versed in training dogs and letting them out to use the restroom often especially if they are a puppy or a senior dog.
About: With 10 years of pet care experience, I’ve worked with dogs of all sizes, temperaments, and needs. I currently have two large dogs, so I’m confident handling strong, high-energy pups as well as those who need a calmer approach. I’m attentive to routines, feeding schedules, and making sure each pet feels secure and loved while you’re away. Pet care fits naturally into my daily routine, and I have a flexible schedule that allows me to give pets consistent attention throughout the day. Between caring for my own dogs and client pets, I’m used to planning my day around walks, feeding times, and play. I provide care exclusively in my clients’ homes so pets can stay comfortable in their familiar environment. I follow each pet’s routine closely, including feeding, walks, playtime, and any special instructions. I also treat your home with the utmost respect, keeping everything clean and secure while you’re away.
“Arayvia responded promptly to our texts, which was very important to us. She kept my furry babies company and snuggled with my baby girl all the time- she was sweet and affectionate. When we got home the dogs looked happy.”
About: I've had fuzzy friends all my life, raised with them and have a few of my own. Very familiar with healer breed. Love my critters I have a lot of free time as it stands. I can do morning and evening services on nearly any day of the given week. Lead with love. When you make all your decisions from a place of love, things tend to work out just fine. They have for me.
About: Well I’ve owned several of my own pets since the age of 5 and I still take care of 4 of them to this day. I am very experienced with cats/kittens and puppies and dogs. I have raised my own dog daisy since the age of 5 and got her a sister at 15 that i still take care of to this day, Daisy is a very happy hyper dog for her age too. :) Now I own two kittens of my own that are now 6 months, but I had owns a kitten named cuddles when I was 12 for 3 years. :) I am very experienced with animals and love spending quality time with them. I take care of my own kittens daily, feed them regularly and play with them all the time. They get so much love they love being carried and cuddle. :) I am a very respectful young woman I was always raised to have very good manners and to respect others home and respecting people in general no matter the situation. I as a person also like having things tidy and clean so I do not like to be a messy person.

Frequently asked questions about Rover
The average cost for House Sitting in Gadsden on Rover is $49.95 per night (as of June 2026). However, all sitters set their own rates based on experience, location, and availability.

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 Gadsden 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 Gadsden 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.
Tip: 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 Gadsden 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 Rover Guarantee , 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 Rover's Trust & Safety page .
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 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.
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.
