“Alyssa is absolutely the BEST! She goes above and beyond for your baby. Our sweet Pig Pig adores her and we have even booked again for this weekend! We are so blessed to have Miss Alyssa as she is extremely loving and compassionate towards the babies. She is an angel and Pig Pig misses her already!”
“Joanne is just an incredible human! Not only did she take really great care of my pup and house, she also stayed a little bit later than she was scheduled as my flight was canceled and I had to rent a car and drive home from the Atlanta airport. 14/10.”
“Jessica was amazing! She kept us informed and sent pics! she was so sweet and kind and I know our pupps loved her. The next day when she was gone they went straight to her “room” when they woke up. That made me so happy knowing they were very well loved on. She even made sure the floors and bedding were clean when we came home and left the sweetest pup report cards! I hope she will always take care of our babies🩵”
“I can see why Sarina has great reviews and repeat clients. She is very responsive and respectful. My husband arrived home a day before I did and said everything looked great and the pups were happy. One of ours needs eye drops and oral medication and that was no problem. We will try to book Sarina again.”
“Brittaney did a great job keeping an eye on my two kids! She clearly loves dogs and took wonderful care of mine while I was away, she stayed in contact and sent lots of pictures too! I’ll definitely try to schedule her for my next trip.”

“Yes yes yes yes yes !! Michelle was amazing. I’m so grateful of all the sitters, I chose her. She absolutely exceeded my expectations 💗 I didn’t have to wonder or guess or hope my babies were taken care of because every time I opened the app there was an update and pictures. Which I loved 🥰 she was extremely attentive and very communicative if there were any questions. She was more attentive than I was 😂 after the first day had gone and I understood she was the dog sitting goat… I, myself, relaxed a bit. I feel having someone reliable makes a world of difference & Michelle is that reliable person. So book those trips ✈️, then book Michelle 🐾 & go have a blast 😌 I definitely will be booking her in the future. Thanks a lot girl 🫶🏽”
About: Hello! My name is Lauren and I am so excited to have the opportunity to watch your favorite companion! I have been taking care of my dog and other's as well for about 16 years. Their safety and happiness is my number one priority. I will give your animal all the attention and care they deserve while their owners are away! As a former Zookeeper and current Veterinary Assistant, I know the hard work and dedication it takes to take care of animals of all sizes and shapes. I currently have three French Bulldogs that get along with any dog and are always down for a puppy play date. If you are looking for dog boarding in my home your pet must be pet friendly because of this, up to date on vaccines, and a meet and greet will be required before hand. If you are only looking for drop in visits or dog walking they will stay home and a meet and greet will not be required. If you have any questions at all please do not hesitate to contact me. I hope I can meet your favorite family member soon! I currently work as a vet assistant at a speciality and emergency practice in Birmingham. I work overnights on the weekends so I’m completely free during the week. If your pet is staying during the weekend my partner is free while I’m not home to take care of our furry guests! I can do whatever is needed to make your dog feel safe! We can walk them on a leash, use a fenced in backyard, crate them when we leave, etc.
About: I have had dogs since I was 8 years old, from Shih Tzus to Goldens and from puppies to seniors! I am comfortable caring for dogs of all shapes, sizes, and temperaments. Whether it is keeping up with the energy of a new puppy, managing a multi-dog household, or providing the gentle and patient care that senior dogs need, I adapt my routine to what makes each pet feel safe, comfortable, happy, and loved. When staying overnight, I focus on maintaining your dog's regular schedule in the comfort of their own home. You can also have peace of mind knowing that your house is secure, your plants are watered, and everything is being looked after while you are away. House sitting is my primary pet-care focus and one of my main work priorities, so I keep my schedule flexible around the needs and routines of the animals I am staying with. I do not have a rigid daily schedule, which allows me to accommodate feeding times, walks, medications, playtime, and other routines as needed. These responsibilities come first while I am caring for a pet. I may step out for an hour or two at a time to run errands or grab food, but my personal hobbies and activities are planned around those responsibilities, not the other way around. I care for pets in their own home by following the routines and instructions their owners provide as closely as possible. I make sure feeding schedules, walks, medications, playtime, and household rules remain consistent so pets can stay comfortable in a familiar environment. I pay extremely close attention to doors, gates, leashes, food restrictions, and anything else that could affect their safety. I also keep the home secure and tidy, clean up after the pets, and communicate with the owner if I notice anything unusual in their behavior, appetite, routine, or environment. I am also happy to handle routine household tasks such as watering plants, retrieving mail, and keeping an eye on the property while you are away. My goal is to make the experience as normal and low-stress as possible for both the pets and their owners.
“I would book Kamryn to watch Diggs a thousand times over! She took extra time and care to make sure he was comfortable with her (he’s scan be pretty anxious with new people). She updated me several times a day about potties and feedings and took her time to hang out and play with him. I felt so comfortable leaving Diggs in her care!! I cannot thank her enough for the extra steps and reassurance she provided me that he was in the best care while I way away!!”
About: As much of a people person I am, I’d consider my self equally as much of a pet person! I love to engage with animals and learn about their personalities and engage with them in whatever environment keeps them happy and healthy! I work full-time, 4 days/week with 1 off day during the week. My evenings and weekends are pretty flexible and I’m willing to work with whatever accommodations that may be required of me. Due to the lack of roaming space in my apartment, I don’t usually host pets in my home plus I have my own pup to tend to! 😌
About: I have always had dogs as pets since I was 3 years old! I had 4 growing up and have always had at least two at a time! I have a passion for caring for pets and believe all pets should be treated like our family! I do have some experience in dog first aid and will always care for your pup as my own! I work from home full time so I am able to play with the dogs and take them on walks/hike often! I have a 3 acre yard that is tucked away and an absolute oasis for dogs! I have two dogs of my own so I am already on a potty break schedule every two hours at least! I will always treat your pet like they are my family! I do let pets on furniture if that is okay with the owner and I will follow all of your instructions very carefully. I take this job very seriously and want your pet to have the best time possible! I will do everything in my power to make sure your pet is well taken care of and happy! I use Rover for my own pups when I go out of town, so I know how scary it can be to leave your pet with someone new! I will send you photos and videos throughout your stay, and you can even facetime your pet if you’d like! Whatever I can do to make your time more peaceful, please let me know 😊
About: In my life I have had many dog sitting experiences, I have my own dogs & cats! I have watched dogs as small as 10 pounds to dogs as big as 80 pounds or over, I have a very special place in my heart for any & all animals! I’m currently working part time & am a full time student at Jacksonville University! My school schedule is very short only 3 classes in person & the rest are online, I’m looking to leave my part time job to make this my new part time! I have experience with crated dogs & not crated dogs, however you choose to care for your babies will be how I take care of them.
About: I’ve been caring for dogs and cats for as long as I can remember. I understand how important it is to know your pets are safe, loved, and well cared for when you’re away. My goal is to provide reliable, compassionate care while giving you peace of mind. I’d love the opportunity to support you and treat your pets like they’re part of my own family. Hi, I’m Coleman! I’m a registered nurse who loves helping others, and that passion extends to caring for animals, too. I’m dependable, attentive, and calm under pressure, and I know how important it is to have someone you can trust with those you care about most. Whether your pet needs a walk, playtime, companionship, or extra attention while you’re away, I’ll treat them with the same kindness, patience, and respect I’d want for my own. I look forward to meeting you and your furry family! I provide dependable, compassionate pet care that’s tailored to each pet’s unique needs and routine. Whether it’s daily walks, feeding, fresh water, playtime, companionship, administering medications when needed, or cleaning up after them, I’m committed to making sure your pet feels safe, comfortable, and loved while you’re away. I also pay close attention to changes in behavior or health, follow your instructions carefully, and provide updates along the way so you can have peace of mind knowing your pet is in caring, reliable hands.

Frequently asked questions about Rover
As of October 2026, there are 491 sitters on Rover offering House Sitting across Gurley. Enter your ZIP code to see which available sitters are closest to your home.
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 Gurley 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 Gurley 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.
<b>Tip:</b> 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 Gurley 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 , 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 .
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 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 .
sitters on Rover set their own , which you can find on their profile under their contact information. Sitters may set a same-day, one-, three-, or seven-day cancellation policy. Cancelling within your sitter’s cancellation policy qualifies you for a full refund.
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.
