“Allison did such a great job caring for our 2 dogs and cat while we were away! She was reliable, trustworthy, and communicated very effectively. We got lots of pictures and updates, so we never had to worry and we knew our girls were in great hands. We highly recommend Allison and will definitely use her again in the future!”
“Alejandra was very sweet and attentive! She took her time to coax my cats out of hiding and give them lots of love. Lots of cute pictures were sent! I was nervous as it’s my first time using a pet sitter as I usually take my babies with me, but she gave me a peace of mind that my boys were well taken care of!”
“Kelsey is incredible! 10/10 would recommend. She absolutely saved us with a last minute booking and was such an angel taking care of our baby even though he ended up being a bit of a menace for her! 😅😂”

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! 🐾
“Austin was great at the meet and greet. He took notes and ask good questions. He has performed several drop ins and is learning how to work with my dogs. They can be difficult because they are afraid of new people but he is patient with them. We really appreciate his time and effort.”
“Courtney did an excellent job watching my cats for me while I was away. She was very kind, responsive, and reliable. I will definitely hire her again! Very happy to have found a good sitter.”
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.
“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!”
About: I have years of experience caring for pets of all ages, offering patient handling, reliable routines, and a calm presence. I’m attentive to each pet’s needs and committed to creating a safe, loving environme I work full time on the arsenal. I also work part time but mostly use rover as my part time. I can work around each client schedules and will make the time to care for your pets I don’t care for pets in my home because I have a reactive yorkie. But in my clients home I take care of them well and make them feel like their owner isn’t even gone
“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! :)”
About: I will show your animal the General love and care as I give my own! I love dogs and cats and would love to care for them when you’re unable to! I love giving lovings and napping with the animals they love cuddling in the bed together! I work full time Monday through Friday typically but am very willing to work around those hours to care for your loves! I typically am free in the evenings and can wake up earlier to take care of your babies if needed before work. I treat everyone’s home with respect. I know it is sometimes uneasy trusting someone new as some people have no respect for others and their belongings rest assured with me your house will be in the same condition you left it in!
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 don’t just watch dogs, I care for them like family. I have experience providing gentle, attentive care for all dogs and always tailor my approach to each pup’s unique needs. Whether it’s extra cuddles, slow walks, or simply keeping them company, I make sure your dog feels safe, loved, and comfortable while you’re away. Even though I work full-time, I make pet care a priority in my daily and weekly routine. My schedule is flexible, which allows me to fit in walks, playtime, and quality care around work hours. Whether it’s early mornings, evenings, or weekends, I always make time to ensure your pet gets the love, attention, and consistency they deserve. I have a fenced in yard and two other pups to keep your fur baby company at my house. When caring for pets, I focus on creating a safe, comfortable, and loving environment. In a client’s home, I follow their established routines, feeding schedules, walks, medications, and any special instructions so pets feel secure and at ease. I also make sure to keep their space clean and provide plenty of attention, exercise, and affection.
“We definitely made the right choice when we chose Emily to watch our 2 dogs while we were out of town. She was confident about caring for the dogs and kept us updated the entire weekend along with sending us pictures of our pups. She is very easy to work with and trustworthy. I would highly recommend her.”

Dog parents share their Rover experiences - Huntsville
We are so happy to have Jennifer watching or cat and dog. I am always sad and worried our dog will miss us and be sad. Jennifer was attentive and kept us updated with photos of each visit which removed all my worried. I am so happy she is our pet sitter 💕 🐩 🐈.
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!

You and your sitter can agree on a care schedule that fits your pet’s routine and the sitter’s availability. Pet Sitting can be booked as a one-time or recurring drop-in visit. If you need overnight care or dog walks, you may also be able to book House Sitting or Dog Walking through Rover with the same sitter, provided they offer those services.
Before booking, confirm:
- the timing, length, and frequency of visits;
- the care instructions the sitter should follow;
- which parts of your pet’s usual routine should be prioritized;
- how often you would like to receive messages, photos, or other updates.
Not every sitter offers the same services, availability, or booking options. Review their profile and discuss the care you need through Rover before booking each service.
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.

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 .
While Rover doesn’t offer traditional subscription services, some sitters offer recurring bookings for services like home visits and dog walking.
