“Megan was great! Dogs warmed up really fast to her and the house was well taken care of while we were gone. Will definitely recommend Megan for your pet sitting needs!!”
“Ana was great to work with and we will be using her again!! She immediately was loved by our (skittish) Aussie and both cats. She communicates well and responds quickly! It’s nice having someone you trust with your babies and home while gone on a trip. Ana let us enjoy our wedding anniversary without any worry!”
About: I've been around animals my entire life. The only thing I don't really want to keep is snakes.i currently have 3 dogs, 1 cat and 3 rabbits. Some of these are rescues. I'm used to pets with anxiety doesn't bother me. I feel animals are better than humans. I work from home and only time I leave is when I have medical appointments. I'm available pretty much all the time maybe to available. We got fenced in yard my house is pretty puppy proof. Actually it's more their house not ours haha. If it's not a fenced area I will not let them out of my sight.
“Jean is amazing!!! Very combinative easy to talk with. Exceeded all expectations. I made an error trying to book her, so it didn’t get put in her Callander. At last minute she moved stuff around in life to still be able to accommodate us. I’m so thankful for her. She’s a life saver, my dogs absolutely loved her she sent pictures and videos. I could tell they were in good hands with let me relax. My Doberman is pouting around the house the day after we got back. I think he is missing his new friend. She is the best. I will definitely be using her again.”
“Anna was amazing with our dachshund and our cat. Her comnunication was consistent and her professionalism was impeccable. Our furry babies were relaxed and happy when we came home, so we know they were loved and spoiled while we were gone. We highly recommend Anna as a sitter!”
About: Ive adored animals of all kinds my whole life and have rescued and cared for several. I have pets of my own, including: 1 dog, 3 cats (one of which is a super senior) and 2 geckos. I also have experience in rodent care. My extended family has trusted me to care for their pets on various occasions over time. I pride myself in continuously educating myself on all sorts of animals and my ability to determine your pets needs, wants and mood. I want nothing more than your fur baby to stay comfortable, happy and healthy. I follow directions well and have no problem adapting to your and your pets needs. I have plenty of free time to help care for your furry friends. My partner travels around the NWA, SWMO and SEOK areas for work and I intend to do the same. I read and follow directions well and can adapt to your pet needs as they come and of course respect your home rules as needed.
“Madelynn was fantastic with Carly! She took her on fun walks and took great care of her! I completely trusted Madelynn in my home. She was respectful, reliable, and always kept me updated. Super friendly and easy to communicate with. Highly recommend!”
About: I have been pet sitting and taking care of pets ever since I could drive. I have also been raised around pets my entire life and they have been treated like Family and I cannot wait to treat your pets like they are my own. I have worked with pets of all ages, sizes, and breeds. I love keeping them active or giving cuddles whenever they’re having a lazy day. Right now since it’s summer I am free during the day and most evenings! Once school starts back up I will be available in the afternoons and evenings! Of course I will always be available for overnight work, unless I am out of town! When watching a pet in their home I work to keep their schedule and routine and similar as possible whenever their family is home. I also try to add in some play time outside and walks! If needed I can clean up around the house as well! Dog families will truly never run out of pet hair ha! If a pet is staying at my home, they will be treated like family. I will bring familiar toys over for them and a favorite blanket! They will have the opportunity to play outside as I have 5 acres of land. If they need to be on a leash that is no problem! Pets that I am coming over to check on during the day/giving walks to will be active with me outside for the time that I need to be there! I love walks and being outside! If it’s a senior pup or one that hates being outside I will work to get them outside for a few minutes at a time and never push them out of their comfort zone!
“Ariel took amazing care of our dog and cat while we were away! She also sent us lots of adorable photos and took great care of our home as well. Your pets will be in great hands! Can’t recommend her highly enough!”
About: Being a dog owner myself, I know how important it is to trust someone with your pet. I focus on keeping dogs comfortable, safe, and feeling at home while you’re away. I genuinely love dogs and already take care of one of my own, so I’m used to daily walks, feeding schedules, and giving them attention and consistency. What sets me apart is that I don’t just “watch” dog, I care for them like they’re part of my own household, because I already live that way with my own pet. I run a real estate company, but most of my work is done on my computer so I’m home and available throughout the day. I occasionally step out for short periods, usually about an hour or less, but I’m generally around and able to give pets attention, care, and consistency. I care for my own dog daily, and he’s older so I’m used to giving extra attention and following a care routine. I handle his eye drops and medication, and I’m very attentive to his needs like feeding times and when he wants to go outside. He’s well trained, but more importantly I’m used to being observant and consistent with him. Because of that experience, I’m comfortable adapting to any dog’s routine and following specific instructions to make sure they’re cared for exactly how their owner prefers.
“Rachel was amazing!! She watched our 1yr old puppy, a 70lb sheepadoodle, and home while we were gone for Thanksgiving. She gave us videos and pictures and updates often, which was greatly appreciated as this was our first time being away from our Charlie. Charlie warmed up to Rachel in minutes, and I could tell I had nothing to worry about. Our home was as clean, if not cleaner, than when we left! Above and beyond what we could have asked for in a pet/house sitter. Rachel will be our number one choice next time we can't take the pup with us out of town. 5/5 stars!!!”
About: I am a responsible care taker and have enjoyed taking care of many pets, most especially dogs. Big or small. Lazy or hyper... I love animals! My name is Sharon. I am a mom and grandma. I currently work remotely from home as my primary employment. I enjoy reading literature and walking in the park. If you need someone loving and responsible to care for your pet, it could be me! I work remotely from home (on my pc) during certain scheduled hours through out the week for my primary job. Since my work is flexible it leaves plenty of time for quality pet care. I plan to drive to my client's home and take care of their pets as per their wishes. I also have a fenced in yard and a sidewalk where I live so pet sitting at my home is also an option.
About: I’m patient, attentive, and experienced caring for all pets, and I’ve recently adopted a puppy, actively learning and practicing positive training every single day, too. Pet care is already part of my everyday life. I start and end my day with feeding, potty breaks, and playtime for my puppy, plus short training sessions throughout the day. I build in walks, enrichment, cuddles, and any medication needs around my normal schedule, so pets in my care get consistent attention, structure, and affection every day I have a fenced in yard and one indoor puppy and one outdoor dog. I work during the day but come home on breaks to check on them. I also have my 2yro son every other week who loves to play with the dogs

“Kelsey took the time to get to know my dogs (one elderly Catahoula, one very shy and nervous Catahoula, and a very bouncy one-year-old Retriever) before we booked, and she was incredibly kind and patient. I can’t recommend her enough.”
About: I am always the first to call when someone I know needs pet care! I have also worked in a veterinary hospital with dogs and cats. As of now, I have a very open schedule. I am willing to care overnight or just drop by for a quick walk. I am flexible! I live in a home with a fenced in backyard. I have one dog and cat of my own, and my dog is crate-trained. Both get along with all animals great! My dog is a border collie mix, and is not aggressive at all. My house is also is 2 minute walk to a park with a field and walking track!
About: Hello!! My name is Leo and I’m a fine arts student here at the University of Arkansas. I’ve been in Fayetteville all my life and love our local art scene. I have two cats named Pumpernickel and Belladonna, and I adore animals! I pet sit on a weekly basis for several friends of mine while they’re out of town or working, and I love spending time with their animals. During summer break, I’ll be able to spend as much time with your animals as you need! As long as I’m able to go check on my babies once a day, I don’t mind spending plenty of time giving tlc to your little critters. During the semester, I’ll only have classes on tuesday and thursday, which gives me plenty of time to be with your babies. I’m always flexible, and do my best to accommodate every need. I’m a big fan of cuddles and love, and am very understanding with special needs. I love sweet animals and I especially love spending time with them. Be as particular in your instructions as you need, I’m very detail oriented and a chronic double checker.
About: My whole life I have had to take care of a multitude of animals: dogs, cats, chickens, even pigs. I love animals more than anything. I have taken care of animals since I was able to, my neighbors, my friends, even just strangers I was recommended to. I’m currently on the search for a part-time job so I have lots of time to dedicate to your pet! It’s something I truly enjoy so it won’t be hard for me to find time at all. I can do whatever you need me to in order to care for your pet! I can crate them, play with them, feed/water them, take them for walks, give medicine, or just care for them in any way you need me to.
About: I’ve grown up around dogs and have had them my whole life, so caring for them feels really natural to me. I love being outside, going on long walks, and spending time with animals. I’m very responsible and make sure pets are safe, exercised, and happy while their owners are away. I also enjoy learning each dog’s personality and routine so they feel comfortable. I’m currently saving money for college, so pet sitting is something I take seriously and put a lot of care into. I’m currently a senior in high school and my classes are only from 7:00–10:30 AM during the week, so I’m available late mornings, afternoons, evenings, and nights. I graduate in about two months, and after that I’ll be fully available all day and night on both weekdays and weekends. I’ve grown up with dogs my whole life and understand how important it is for them to feel safe and comfortable. I always follow the owner’s instructions closely for feeding, walks, routines, and any special care. I make sure dogs get plenty of exercise, attention, and time outside while also keeping them safe and supervised. My goal is to make sure your pet feels happy and cared for while you’re away.

FAQs for House Sitting - Huntsville
Frequently asked questions about Rover
As of June 2026, there are 367 sitters on Rover offering House Sitting across Huntsville. Enter your ZIP code to see which available sitters are closest to your home.
Beyond belly rubs and feeding schedules, a house sitter’s presence may provide an additional layer of security for your home. However, you will need to arrange overnight stays and other household tasks with your sitter when reaching out to them. Not all sitters offer the same services. Common household tasks you can negotiate include:
- Mail & deliveries: Collecting letters and packages so they don't pile up.
- Plant care: Keeping your indoor or outdoor garden hydrated.
- Trash & recycling: Taking trash cans to the curb on scheduled pickup days.
- Home security: Sitters can stay overnight to keep your home occupied.
The best way to align on expectations is during your free Meet & Greet. Use this time to provide a "home cheat sheet" that includes your preferred Huntsville walking routes, the location of your favorite pet store, and any specific quirks about your home’s security or appliances.
It’s helpful to think of house sitting as a "home base" service. Most sitters in Huntsville maintain their normal daily routines, like running errands or heading to the office, meaning your pet should be comfortable being alone for a few hours at a time. If your pet needs a little extra company, here is how to find the perfect match:
- Look for "WFH" sitters: Many sitters mention "Work from Home" on their profile to indicate they’ll be present for the majority of the day.
- Update your pet’s profile: Write down how long your pet can comfortably be left alone. This helps sitters quickly determine if their schedule aligns with your needs.
- Communicate 24/7 needs: Standard house sitting usually doesn't include constant supervision. If your pet requires round-the-clock care, be sure to discuss this upfront.
Tip: Use the Meet & Greet to confirm a sitter's typical "away" windows. Transparency ensures your pet stays happy and your sitter can plan their day effectively!
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!
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.
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 .
If a health concern arises during a stay, your sitter is instructed to contact you and our Trust & Safety team immediately and, if needed, take your pet to the closest veterinarian. Through our Trust & Safety support team, sitters can ask for diagnostic advice from a qualified veterinary professional if your pet is showing signs of possible illness.
For extra peace of mind, you can also prepare an authorization form for your regular vet. An authorization form outlines your preferred method of care and allows your sitter to bring your pet into their regular clinic.
Every qualified booking made on Rover is backed by the Rover Guarantee, which includes reimbursement for eligible emergency vet care.
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.
Yes, you can find sitters who have experience with handling special pet needs in Huntsville. On Rover:
- 100% of sitters can help with special care needs
- 100% can help with giving oral medications or injections
- 100% 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.
