“Jennifer took such great care of my cat while I was away for a long weekend. She sent great updates and photos. As a bonus, Smokey really seemed to love her company! I’ll absolutely request her as a sitter next time I travel.”
“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!”
“Bless you for coming to save the day!!! Looking at these pics they clearly loved you LOL so I’m glad you guys had fun together!!! Thank you so much and we will absolutely book you again for our future outings!!! ❤️❤️❤️”
“Another great experience with Ann. Our dog loves when she comes over. He’s so comfortable with her. Even our cats are comfortable with her and one of the cats can be aloof at times. We’ll gladly have her back to care for the fur babies.”
About: Welcome to our dog loving family! 🐾 My husband and I are a team with a deep love for animals, and together we provide attentive, loving, and reliable care for your pup. We create a calm, safe, and happy environment where dogs can feel at home while you’re away. 🚫 We don’t accept aggressive dogs, females in heat, unfixed males, dogs coughing or sneezing— safety and well-being are our top priorities for every dog in our care. ❗️All dogs must be up to date on vaccinations, Specially Bordetella. ❗️Daycare is open 7:30AM to 6PM. Any pick-up after 6PM will be considered boarding price. WHAT I OFFER • a calm, clean, dog-friendly home •presence(we are home all day), if i have to run and errand, my husband is home, we offer comfort, fun, and gentle attention • individual care (I host a limited number of dogs) • regular walks adjusted to your dog's energy and needs • continuous communication (photos, videos, updates) • safety, responsibility and a loving atmosphere BEFORE CONFIRMING THE BOOKING, PLEASE SHARE: - your dog's age, breed and personality - how they handle separation and new environments - allergies, medications, special needs - how they react to other dogs and people - daily routine (meals, walks, habits) - likes and dislikes - whether they can stay home alone - any house rules (e.g., do we need to hide the shoes? A little bit about me.. I grew up surrounded by animals from horses, pigs, bunnies, chickens, turtles, and many stray dogs. My family often rescued them from the street, and that’s where I learned how to care for them and, most importantly, how to love them. As a child, I dreamed of becoming a veterinarian, but I soon realized I’m too sensitive to handle see them in pain or saying goodbyes. That’s why I’ve poured my heart into this work, because every dog deserves to be safe, loved, and treated like family. We can’t wait to meet your fur baby and welcome them into our little dog loving family! Thank you for trusting us 💛🐶 Pet care is my daily routine. I spend most of my day with the dogs, making sure they’re safe, comfortable, having fun and well-loved. I occasionally teach online yoga classes, but during that time, my husband is home and helps care for them. Between the two of us, your pup will always have someone nearby to supervise, play, or just relax with. I care for dogs in my home as if they were my own. Dogs have access to both indoor and outdoor spaces throughout the day, they’re free to relax inside or play in our large, fully fenced backyard under supervision. I maintain a clean, calm, and safe environment with plenty of water, rest, affection, and playtime. Since I’m home 24/7, I provide constant attention and adapt to each dog’s personality, energy level, and routine. For dogs who need extra care, such as those with medical or emotional needs, I offer gentle, individualized support. My husband also assists during the day, especially when I’m briefly teaching a yoga class. Our goal is always to make your dog feel secure, loved, and part of our family.
“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!”
“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!”
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! 🐾
“Jessica is awesome!! She was able to accommodate us on short notice when our original plan fell through as we were leaving town. Our Mooshi had an upset stomach after we left and Jessica took very good care of her keeping us updated and even adding an extra visit to check on her.”
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.
“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.”
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!
“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!”
“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.”
“Bethany is FANTASTIC! Our two German Shepherds instantly loved her. She is very knowledgeable about animals, is quick to respond to requests, and was very accommodating when our plans changed with short notice. We already have her rebooked for multiple drop-ins and housesitting stays. Highly recommend her!”
About: I’ve kept my grand dogs for years and have stayed overnight for several friends on multiple occasions . I have references that talk and bark 😁 I am retired so my schedule is very flexible. I can stay overnight and am usually available on weekends with advance notice. I love snuggles! I ask for an idea of what their day is like and try to follow it as much as possible. I have kept all ages and don’t mind giving medicine or potty training. I live going on walks also!

Pet parents share their Rover experiences - Huntsville
Abby was amazing with my cats! They are both skittish around new people normally. Pete took right to her and came out for every visit. Tucker normally hides under the bed until everyone is gone, but he came out to say hi a few times. I felt completely comfortable being away with Abby watching the boys and I got some great shots of them. I will definitely book her when traveling in the future if she is available’
Alexis is absolutely wonderful, and I will book her again. This was the second time she sat my two cats, and she really got to know their personalities (quirky cats!) and draw them out. I appreciate her care and attention to them, and it allows me to enjoy my vacation!
Emily was awesome! She took great care of both of our dogs while we were out of town and gave us peace of mind knowing they were in good hands. With two big dogs and medications to keep track of, we really appreciated how reliable and attentive she was. We’ll definitely be booking with her again. Highly recommend!
Amazing pet sitter again! I’ve had Ella do drop-in visits for a bunch of vacations and she never disappoints! This was our longest yet, but she took on the additional requests (extra mail, trash, doing cat litter, etc) with no issues at all. Cannot recommend her enough!!!
Elise was such a caring and attentive pet sitter. We have a cat and a four-month old puppy that she watched over a few days. She took notes with our visit beforehand, cleaned up puppy accidents, provided detailed reports with many photos, communicated clearly, and loved on our sweet animals. Leaving our pets is always a scary and sad feeling, but Elise made sure they felt loved and comfortable while we were away. We would recommend her to anyone we know!
Cynthia did an excellent job watching our 3 pups while we were out of town. She showed up right on time and stayed the full time to make sure they got to play and have attention during the visits. She sent drop in reports and pictures for each visit so we knew how they were doing. We highly recommend and will book with Cynthia again.
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.

Frequently asked questions about Rover
The average cost of Pet Sitting in Huntsville is $20 per visit as of October 2026. Most bookings cost between $13 and $31 per visit. On Rover, sitters set their own rates based on factors such as their experience, the length of care, the number of pets, and your pet’s specific needs. As long as your booking dates and pet profiles are accurate, the price shown before you confirm is the total, including any booking fee.
As of October 2026, there are 696 sitters on Rover offering Pet Sitting across Huntsville. Enter your ZIP code to see which available sitters are closest to your home.
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.
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
- 95% can help with giving oral medications or injections
- 96% 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 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.
sitters on Rover set their own cancellation policy, 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.
