About: I’ve grown up around dogs and have hands-on experience caring for pets of different sizes, ages, and energy levels. As a college athlete, I’m very active, so I love walking, playing, and keeping dogs engaged. I’ve worked with younger dogs who need patience and consistency, as well as older dogs who need a calmer, more attentive approach. I’m comfortable with feeding schedules, administering basic medications, and making sure pets feel safe and cared for while you’re away. I treat every pet like my own and focus on building trust with both the dog and the owner. I’m a college student and athlete, so I’m responsible, disciplined, and used to sticking to a routine. I genuinely enjoy being around animals and staying active, so pet care fits naturally into my lifestyle. I’m dependable, communicative, and will always keep you updated so you feel comfortable while you’re away. My schedule is flexible, especially in the mornings, afternoons, and evenings outside of training and classes. I’m used to planning my day around responsibilities, so I can consistently fit in walks, check-ins, or overnight care. Pet care works well with my routine because I already stay active daily, and I enjoy getting outside and spending time with animals. Your pet’s safety and comfort are my top priorities. I always follow your instructions closely, including feeding, medications, and routines. In your home, I respect your space and keep everything clean and secure. I make sure doors, gates, and leashes are handled carefully to prevent any accidents. I stay attentive during walks and avoid unsafe environments. I also provide updates, photos, and communication so you always know your pet is in good hands.
About: I’ve had dogs my whole life and have been pet sitting for about 10 years, working with all kinds of dog breeds and personalities. I’ve especially worked with anxious dogs (mainly shepherd breeds), including training, walking, etc. I offer walks and home visits, and my goal is always to make sure both you and your pet feel comfortable and cared for. I like to share frequent updates and pictures, and I can adjust based on what you prefer so you always know how things are going. If you have any questions, please feel free to reach out! A bit of personal information about me- I’m fairly new to the Huntsville area! Also, I recently lost my own mini Aussie this past year. While I’m not ready to get a new dog of my own yet, I would love to find some great dogs to care for and love on here in Huntsville ❤️ I currently have a flexible schedule, so I can offer drop ins and walks as needed for your pet. I am also off every Friday-Sunday. While I am not able to offer sitting in my home, I am happy to come to your home and adjust to your pet’s existing schedule, walking route, etc. to ensure they are comfortable while receiving excellent and reliable care.
“Kayla was excellent! She is trustable and has a lot of experience with dogs.🐾 She always kept in touch with us about Panda behavior during our absence. For sure we will book with her next time so we don’t have to worry at all!”
“Amy was so kind and took great care of my fur-baby while I was away. We also did an introduction visit before my time away which gave me peace of mind to know my baby was in good hands! She gave great updates and photos each visit, and she gave him extra care when she could tell he needed some extra cuddles. Thank you, Amy!”
About: I’ve had pets since I was born and trained all of them, just simple commands. I love all animals and have pet sat for friends and family often! I’m currently a stay at home mom so I am free all weekdays and most weekends. I have no issues giving your pets the care and love they need. I can give each pet specific, catered care. My goal is to ensure your fur babies are emotionally and physically taken care of. From high energy, to low energy, I can adapt to almost any requirements.
About: Hi! I’m Emma! Dogs have been a huge part of my life since I was 4 years old. I grew up with a German Shepherd mix and a Pit Bull mix, so I have experience with big and small, high-energy dogs and understand the attention and exercise they need. I also have experience caring for senior dogs, and they have a special place in my heart. Whether your pup is young and playful or older and prefers a slower pace, I’ll make sure they feel safe, comfortable, loved, and well cared for. I genuinely love being around dogs and would be thrilled to spend time with yours! I’m a full time touring musician, but I have multiple months in the year where I’m at home and don’t have much to do. I’m almost always available on weekdays, and sometimes weekends. I’m also usually available anytime between 8am-8pm I know how important it is to trust someone with both your pet and your home. ☺️ I carefully follow each pet’s routine, make sure they get plenty of attention and exercise, and always prioritize their safety and comfort. I keep a clean environment, doublecheck doors and gates, and communicate regularly with owners through updates and photos. My goal is to make your pet feel as comfortable as possible while giving you peace of mind while you’re away! 🐾
“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!”
“Peyton, went above and beyond to take care of my dog. She brought in a package, changed her plans at the last minute due to my flight change and was very sweet in all of her feedback/photos helping me feel more comfortable while out of town. I highly recommend her and am very appreciative for all that she did to help me!”
About: Often dog walk and house sit. Have experience with multiple dogs and cats at a time. Also done puppies and kittens. Great with communication and planning! I have a very flexible schedule so my activities can be fit around what your dog(s) or cat(s) need. So that includes times during the day and also days of the week. I have 2 small dogs very friendly and they are crate trained. One outside cat that sometimes stops by for food and water. We have a fenced yard with a pool.
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.
“Raegan was great! Prompt and on time! We are new to the area and have only been in the new house for a week or so and Willy was very protective of my daughter with a stranger at his home but Raegan was very patient and he warmed right up to her!”
“We've booked with MacKenzie a few times. She is very informative and attentive. She brought our trash and recycling bins down and back up without us asking! I highly recommend MacKenzie if you are looking for a caring pet sitter!”
“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!”
“Thank you so much for taking care of all my babies ?❤️ I highly recommend Alicia she is very very great with all my pets including my potbelly pig ? Thank you so much again!!”
About: I have had dogs my whole life from big to small. They are the sweetest animals and we as humans don't deserve their unconditional love for us. I work full time but my work is close so i come home on my lunch breaks and they are never in the kennel more than 5 hours at a time. I absolutely love dogs and i spoil my rotten. Your dog will be considered family while it is at my house while you're on vacation! Thank You for considering me! I work most days but I have two dogs of my own. I live close to my job and come home on my lunch break on days that I work. I have a fenced in yard. I walk the dogs around the neighborhood at least once maybe a few more times depending on the day and the dog. But my two dogs love to play in the backyard together.
About: I have been taking care of animals for as long as I can remember! I have a golden retriever named Maggie and two cats named John and Marmalade. I am great with all ages and types of pets, and I will treat yours with the same love and attention I do my own!! I am currently working Monday to Friday from 8 AM to 4 PM. I am happy to do walks early in the AM, during my lunch and / or after 4! Weekends I am free to take care of your pets at anytime. My dog Maggie is older, and does very well with cats and dogs. My two cats do fine with other animals as well. I live in an apartment complex, but I have two dog parks within a mile from me that I often take my pup to!
About: I’ve been pet-sitting since I was in high school, now going into year 7 of pet sitting. My unwavering dedication to personalized care for each pet is what I always focus on. I understand that each pet is unique, with its own needs and quirks, and I try and go the extra mile to tailor my services to meet those individual requirements I currently work in person 3 days out the week (MWF) as a college professor at AAMU but I make sure you pet’s needs are my first priority. From waking up early to give them attention & exercise, sharing my lunch break with your furry friend to take a walk and have a bathroom break, to helping me take breaks during my work hours for us to both stretch and go for a walk. Having constant communication with the owner & providing regular updates through messages, photos, or videos. Being prepared for any emergency by having a plan and knowing I need to bring your furry friend if an emergency may happen. Lastly, ensuring the safety within the home by removing anything that may be hazardous and keeping your furry friend in their designated area when needed to avoid any mishaps.
The median cost per visit for dog sitting in Huntsville is $20
Dog parents share their Rover experiences - Huntsville
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.

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.
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.
