“Lauren was amazing with our three dogs! She kept us updated with photos and messages, giving us peace of mind while we were away. Our dogs can be a handful, but she handled them like a pro—making sure they were fed, exercised, and given plenty of love. We came home to happy pups and a clean house. If you’re looking for someone reliable, trustworthy, and great with dogs, Lauren is the one!”
“Cannot say enough wonderful things about Lauren!! She went above and beyond for our 2 kitties while we were gone for a week. If you own cats, you know how dismissive they can be when it comes to strangers. Lauren quickly became accepted by our girls and successfully broke down the Stranger Danger wall. She sent pics and videos, brought in all the mail that wasn’t supposed to be delivered and graciously cleaned up after the inevitable, retaliatory cat barfs that occurred. Having Lauren as our kitty sitter relieved us of the tremendous amount of stress we get when we’re away on travel. We will absolutely be booking with her again whenever possible. Thank you, Lauren! You’re the best!!!”
“Highly recommend. Trustworthy. Dependable. Very grateful for Elise helping Belle with visits and walks. Belle got to know Elise when she came to the door and would get super excited. The pair seemed to get along great. Super sweet both of them.”
About: While I do not have pets of my own right now, I’ve spent most of life surrounded by them. I grew up living in a farm, so we had multiple dogs and a few cats. Rudy and Bonnie were our two dogs- both border collies. Ever since, I’ve wanted a dog of my own, but living in an apartment doesn’t feel doable at the moment so I’m looking to care for others’ dogs and show them some love 😊😊 I’m currently available all week, so I have plenty of time to look and care for your pups! I also have weekend availability, and potentially overnight care as well. I can come feed, walk, and play with your pets. I am also a runner, so if your dog is up for a run, I could easily take it on one.
“Emmie was great with our cats when we had to leave town on short notice. She took the time to come to the house, meet them, and learn about their routine. While we were gone, she sent updates and asked questions when needed. She took the initiative (after asking if it was ok) to bring a treat to coax one of our cats to take his meds. We returned to very happy and well cared for cats!”
“Haley was great and did a terrific job with our cat. She kept us updated on anything going on, and went out of her way to spend a little extra time with Demi and give her special attention. Communication was excellent and timely. Haley would be our first choice anytime we needed to have someone look after our cat.”
“Morgan is amazing and took such great care of my pup! She clearly loves animals and it’s refreshing to find someone on this app that is trustworthy and who cares about animals like they are her own. Definitely recommend her for peace of mind! :)”

“We had an unexpected extra day when we really needed help, and she kindly came again without hesitation. Even during cold winter weather and less-than-ideal conditions, she showed up and took great care of our cats. We truly appreciate her reliability and willingness to help when we needed it most.”
“August was great! She made time quickly to come meet our cats before she watched them and communicated well while we were gone! The cats warmed up to her well and we will for sure be using her for cat/dog care in the future!”
“Mackenzie was professional and very easy to work with. We loved getting updates for our pet. It took a lot of the anxiety away as this was our first time away from our kitten.”

“Love having Amy come a couple of days a week to take my girl on a walk and love on her. She even left us an Easter basket with goodies for me and Lany. Amy also gave Lany a little gift on Valentine’s Day. I always get pictures of their time which is a little “happy” for me during the work day. Thank you, Amy!”
“Kayla was outstanding in every way. She not only took care of our older Brittany spaniels…she really cared! It was a cold night and she took the time to contact us to make sure they’d be ok. They have nice warm outside doggie condos so thankfully she could take care of them and be confident they’d stay warm. Thank you, Kayla!”
“Deborah took care of my pets for 4 days while we were out of town. We received notifications on her arrival and when she left along with pictures of our pets. Deborah communicated with us and let us know how they were doing and responding with her. This gave us great peace of mind and we knew they were happy and being well taken care of. Deborah was a true gift to us and we appreciate her! Thank you Deborah!! This was our first experience using Rover and feel it is set up very well with communication between the petsitter and us, verifying our pets care and ease in payment too.”
“Andrea was great with our three boys! When we got back for an extended day trip, it was clear that they hadn’t been under any stress or anxiety - they were great! Andrea came to our home during all of their regular potty break/food times to make sure they were comfortable. We’ll definitely be working with her again!”

Dog parents share their Rover experiences - Huntsville
Ann did a wonderful job taking care of Yetti. She took good care of him and spent time loving on him. He was having some issues with one of his legs and she catered to his needs and used her judgement on how much he felt like walking. It was such a good feeling knowing my fur baby was not just being taken care of but being loved on. I would definitely use Ann again to take care of Yetti.
Jennifer is an amazing dog sitter! She keeps us updated with pictures and notes that keep our minds at ease. She is very communicative and is always punctual. This is our second time using her for drop in visits, and she was just as perfect as the first time. Thank you!
Cynthia was very helpful with our last minute request for drop in visits! She sent plenty of pictures and gave us updates after each visit, which helps keep my husband and I worry free while we are away. She is also very professional and communicative. I would highly recommend her for any pet parents needing sitting for their fur babies!
First time using rover, and I didnt have to worry about my pups at all while I was gone. She took great care of my them! She sent updates and photos and let me know of anything concerning, which I appreciate. She even dripped my faucets while I was gone, and I didnt even ask or think about that! I try not to leave my pups home alone, but if I ever have to, I'd happily trust her again! Thanks Haven!
We were in need of someone last minute to check on our boys while we were away visiting family during Christmas. Amanda and Benjamin were so sweet, and our boys loved them! They sent a lot of pictures and updates, and we felt at ease knowing our boys were in good hands while we focused on family time.
Andrea was great with our three boys! When we got back for an extended day trip, it was clear that they hadn’t been under any stress or anxiety - they were great! Andrea came to our home during all of their regular potty break/food times to make sure they were comfortable. We’ll definitely be working with her again!

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 Huntsville 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.
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 Huntsville 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!
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.
A Meet & Greet is a short introductory meeting between you, your dog, 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.
While Rover doesn’t offer traditional subscription services, some sitters offer recurring bookings for services like home visits and dog walking. Recurring services come with their own perks, such as flexibility to modify services (up to five weeks in advance), automatic billing, Rover Card updates, and same-day cancellations.
To find sitters in Huntsville with recurring or weekly availability, select "Repeat Weekly" and which days you’d like them to care for your pet.

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.
