“Sarah is great! I am a repeat customer. I highly recommend her. My kitty is very well taken care of by Sarah when I travel, she is communicative, caring and trustworthy.”
“Bethany was awesome! Stayed and visited with my cat for a while each visit, even though he tends to not be very social. Her communication and updates left nothing to be desired. Will definitely have her sit my cat again in the future if she's available.”
“Grayson was a wonderful sitter for my cats. They are shy and don’t interact with many people but Grayson was able to pet both of them and spend time with them. I feel more relaxed when I know she is caring for them.”
About: Dogs have a special place in my heart. Growing up, we had a total of 6 dogs in our home! They were family to us. I have bottle fed some, helped some cross the rainbow bridge and saved my rescue, Peanut from the worst case of mange I have ever seen and today she’s the happiest, healthiest girl around! All dogs deserve a home, warm bed and to know what it’s like to be loved! I currently work in a remote position from home which has just been a blessing to be able to be home with my fur babies all day. I now have the time to love on you fur babies when you can’t be there to! I am experienced to work with almost any kind of animals you have! Rabbits? Had those! Chickens? Yep! You name it, I can just about bet you I have experience caring for them!

About: I have experience with all kinds of pets other than cats and dogs. Caring for your pets will be an honor, as I would care for them as if they were my own I currently do not work, therefore I have plenty of free time to help take care of your pets if you havea busy schedule and I will not have to rush. I have a fenced in yard and am home all day to provide lots of attention and play time as well as potty breaks. This also allows me to abide easily by a feeding schedule and I can give extra comfort to pets with high anxiety.
“Ariel was wonderful! This was my first time using Rover and the first time leaving my kitty for more than a day, so I was a little nervous. Ariel kept me updated, sent photos, and reassured me that she was doing great. Knowing she was in such good hands gave me so much peace of mind while I was away. I’ll definitely be using Ariel again whenever I need someone to watch my kitty!”

About: I have had dogs in my house ever since I was a small child and have taken care of them and trained them in crates, bathrooms, etc. I help friends whenever they need me to come check on their pets or keep them at my place and enjoy being around animals. I currently work 8:30-5:00 full time but I have somewhat flexible hours and the ability to work from home some weeks. Even when I am in the office I would be able to leave for a visit or two during the work day. I have a very nice common area and will be happy to walk your dog as much as they need. I also have a 7 month lab pup named Rico who is the best boy and would love to play with your pup. He has been great with other dogs so far but can be a little hyper.
About: I’ve been a dedicated dog owner for many years and currently care for two Labrador mixes of my own, including a senior dog and a younger, active dog. Through daily walks, feeding routines, medication management when needed, and providing plenty of love and attention, I’ve gained hands-on experience caring for dogs with different needs and energy levels. Friends and family have trusted me to help care for their pets, and I understand how important it is to have someone reliable looking after your furry family members. I will treat every pet in my care as if they were my own, ensuring they feel safe, comfortable, and loved while you’re away. I work a full-time job Monday through Friday from 9 AM to 5 PM, but I’m available mornings, evenings, and weekends. Weekends are especially flexible for me, allowing plenty of time for walks, drop-in visits, playtime, and quality care. I’ll always communicate clearly about my availability so you know exactly what to expect. Your pet’s safety, comfort, and well-being are my top priorities. I understand that trusting someone with your furry family member is a big decision, and I am committed to providing dependable, attentive care while keeping you updated with messages and photos. I take the time to learn each pet’s routine, preferences, and any special instructions to help them feel comfortable and secure. Whether it’s a walk, drop-in visit, or overnight stay in your home, I will treat your pet with the same care and respect that I give my own. Please note that I live in an apartment and am unable to provide boarding or pet sitting in my home. However, I am available for walks, drop-in visits, and house sitting in your pet’s familiar environment, where many pets feel most relaxed and comfortable.

About: I grew up with a Rottweiler, Labrador, and Golden Retriever. I love big breeds but I currently have a Yorkie that unexpectedly stole my heart. Any pup is welcome here, we do not discriminate :) I have taken basic training classes, and can work with your pup while I have them, if interested. My job is very flexible and my schedule is catered to my own pets. Short shifts and when not working, we are usually doing dog friendly activities. We live right beside a dog park where I’m happy to bring your baby to get their exercise in. My dog is older and enjoys frequent naps but we take at least 4 walks a day.
About: I have helped raise and train 4 dogs. I dog sit my parents golden retriever and Bernadoodle anytime they go out of town. I love all animals and would love to take care of them! I currently work the dinner shift at Oso in orange beach. I typically only work 3-9/10 and would be available anytime during the day and can even stop by after I get off for a night walk and treats. I live in an apartment so I am unable to bring in extra pets but can easily adapt to your pets routine in your home.
About: Hi!! I have had animals my WHOLE life, grew up on a farm so I’ve always been around animals. I have a cat that’s declawed and two kiddos in my home that love meeting new friends. I work from home and would love to help others by dog sitting and/or walking. I’m able to take the dogs out first thing in the morning, lunch time, and 2x in the evenings. I do have a fenced yard for the zoomies and a neighborhood with a sidewalk for walks. I look forward to getting to know your family pets and working together :) I take bookings only when I know I will have plenty of time during your pets stay to be sure they’re being walked and supervised while running around the yard. I have a fenced in yard for letting your pets outside and a crate, if your pet is crate trained. I am happy to follow any special instructions that you may have for your pets.

Cat parents share their Rover experiences - Gulf Shores
This was our first time using Rover. Graham’s drop ins for our 9 month old kitten were consistent, detailed and thorough. She provided pics and stories of her visits. This was a perfect option instead of taking kitty out of her element and placing her in a kennel. And the cost was about the same. Thank you Graham!

Cat sitters on Rover care for your cats’ needs and can spend quality time with them, including activities like feeding, playing, and refreshing their water and litter boxes. Depending on your arrangement, you can schedule as many visits per day as your cat needs or find a sitter who can stay at your house overnight. Some sitters also board cats in their home.
House sitting can be ideal for cats who need socialization or care that lasts longer than a few hours. Your cat stays in their own home, on their own schedule, with care based on what you and your sitter agree on together.
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.

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 .

Same-day cancellations for recurring services, which include walks, drop-ins, and day care, follow the full refund policy. Otherwise, for pet boarding and house sitting, if you cancel after 12 pm on the applicable cancellation deadline, you’ll receive a 50% refund for the first seven days of the booking and a 100% refund for any remaining days.
If your sitter needs to cancel within seven days of the booking's start date, then our reservation protection will kick in. This means you will get a full refund and our support team will work with you to find a replacement sitter.
