“Very professional and friendly, sent great photos and my dog looked very happy. Assured me he had food and water and was doing well. Agreed to an extra unexpected visit. Will definitely use again.”
“Jennifer is truly the best! Helped me out in a jam . She always takes such good care of my sweet old puppy. She’s gives her lots of love and treats :) I know my dog is in excellent hands when Jennifer is with her. Thank you!”
“Absolutely amazing dog sitter! Kind, reliable, and attentive. Our dog was happy, well cared for, and clearly loved every minute. The regular updates gave us peace of mind while we were away. Highly recommend! 🐾 Thanks Alison !”
“We needed a last minute dog sitter for our three elderly dogs, and thank goodness we found Ella! She came over before the visit to meet us and the dogs who loved her immediately. She gave them their medicine and tons of love. She also took the cutest pictures. We will definitely be using her again!”
“Cynthia did an awesome job watching our three dogs. Communication was great, she sent lots of pictures and did exactly what we asked her to do. I highly recommend Cynthia if you need someone to watch your pups! We will definitely use her services again.”
“Emily was phenomenal!! The photos and updates let me know my pets were well cared for. She was beyond patient with one cat that was pretty grumpy I was gone and I'm so thankful she was there to take care of them!”
About: I've been around animals all my life and have considerable experience working with senior dogs and cats. I treat others' pets as if they are my own. I'm currently self-employed, so I have plenty of time to care for your pets. I'm available pretty much any day of the week, especially for dog-walking and drop-in visits. I will happily walk your dog around the neighborhood and play with them outside. Regarding cat care, I will refill their food/water, clean their litter box, and play with them. I am willing to learn from you as their owner and will follow any instructions given.
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! 🐾
“She did such a good job with my cats! I have a diabetic scaredy cat who can be hard to find and on Alexis's first visit, they sat on the couch together! Which is beyond the norm for my girl. She did have to be tracked down every visit, but insulin and food were given so it was very successful. I had to add on a last minute booking, nothing prepared, and Alexis did great on the fly. I appreciate every photo and note she left, and all that she did. Will definitely book again when needed”
“We always look to book with Elise! Our last booking was starting just as we were about to get snow here in Northern Alabama. Elise was so flexible and accommodating to make sure Mila would be okay and helped us with a back up plan in case the roads were too bad to travel. It puts me at ease to know I’m leaving my fur baby in the best hands! Elise always has great communication and we look forward to her visit notes and pictures while we’re away from Mila. Thanks again, Elise!”
“Natalie was highly recommended when our usual Rover was out of town and I am so grateful for the recommendation! She was a perfect fit our ten year old grumpy, but so loved cat Frederick!! On time, updated photos and kept him on his schedule!! 😊”
“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!”
“Abby did a great job taking care of our elderly dog while we were away. She gave us important updates and stayed in communication with any questions she had about his care. We were able to enjoy our vacation without worry knowing Sam was in great hands! Would definitely recommend and use Abby again!”
“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.”
About: Have been taking care of dogs for the last 10 years - from the most relaxed/lazy dogs to hyperactive ones. Been a dog walker at a dog shelter for the last 6 months since moving to the area. I work full time but will be able to take care of dogs after work or over the weekends. Most holidays I am available (besides thanksgiving or Christmas - traveling home) I stay attentive while taking care of any dogs, especially on walks. I try to stay away from crowded areas, mainly because I don’t know what other people or animals will do. I usually try to spend much of my time with the dog and make sure they get enough exercise when I am with them.
“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!”

Pet parents share their Rover experiences - Huntsville
As always, Jennifer has done such a great job taking care of Igor, our cat. But also, we did not have a worry in the world as Jennifer took care of watering the plants, collecting all our packages, mail, etc. So wonderful to have someone that makes our time away stress and worry free. Thank you very much for everything you do!
Elise is so wonderful and professional! Elise came prepared with notes about my cat’s care from a previous booking and had excellent memory. I could tell from the lovely photos that my senior cat felt comfortable and relaxed with Elise. I can feel at ease when I’m away for longer trips. Thank you Elise!
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!

Frequently asked questions about Rover
The average cost for Pet Sitting in Huntsville on Rover is $19.98 per visit (as of August 2026). However, all sitters set their own rates based on experience, location, and availability.
Rover makes budgeting the cost of Pet Sitting easy. As long as your dates and pet profiles are correct, the price you see before you book is the same price you pay for Pet Sitting. For more information on service fees, click here .
As of August 2026, there are 688 sitters on Rover offering Pet Sitting across Huntsville. Enter your ZIP code to see which available sitters are closest to your home.
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.
If you would like updates while you’re away, you can discuss with your sitter how many or how frequent you’d like those updates to be. The Rover app allows sitters to send photos, videos, and messages about your pet, including how many pee or poop breaks occurred. You can message your sitter at any time through the app and our support team is available 24/7 by email or chat if you have concerns.
The personalized, in-home nature of pet care through Rover can mean more individual attention for your pet.
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. 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.
Yes, you can find sitters who have experience with handling special pet needs in Huntsville. On Rover:
- 89% of sitters can help with special care needs
- 93% can help with giving oral medications or injections
- 93% can help with daily exercise
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.
A Meet & Greet is a short introductory meeting between you, your pet, 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.
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.
