“Wow...where do I even begin?! Kaylen is fantastic!!! She took such great care of our dogs, really and truly cared, loved, and paid attention to our babies! Our dogs can be very quirky with new people, one has some medical issues and she can be slow to trust people, but Kaylen's confidence and understanding of dog behavior truly made our Bo feel at ease! I have never had anyone but family watch our dogs prior and was panicking when we found out we could not bring our dogs on our family trip, but I am so grateful it led me to Kaylen! I actually got to enjoy my time away, (as much as you can when missing your pups), because I trust Kaylen so much, our dogs were in the best hands. We got amazing updates, our house was left in immaculate condition, our dogs were so happy and all updates showed how loved they were, it was just such a fantastic experience! Kaylen is really there for the dogs, she never judged, she was so helpful in guiding us through the meet and greets, it was such a phenomenal time, I really can not put into words how amazing she is and how much I fully trust her with my Mozzy and Bo. I promise you that she is the best sitter on here! You and your fur babies will regret not booking with her!!”
About: I have 8 years of experience caring for pups of all kinds, including high-energy dogs, seniors, and even puppies. I am comfortable administering oral medications and topical treatments when needed. Your dog's health, safety, and comfort always come first. I do my best to keep their routine consistent so they feel relaxed and happy while you're away. We'll enjoy playtime, walks, mental stimulation, and plenty of pets. I'm confident maintaining existing training and reinforcing good habits along the way. If you're looking for someone reliable, attentive, and genuinely committed to your dog's well-being, I'd love to help care for your four-legged family! I currently work full-time, with typical 8-5 hours, however my schedule is flexible which allows me to be flexible to your dogs needs. If I am staying at your home, my routine will be molded to fit the needs of your pet, including when I wake up, being home with your pup when I am not at work, walks, and more. Your pet is my priority! I will follow all your instructions, and assure that the care of your pet(s) and your property is excellent.
“Riley is awesome!! She took such good care of my two pups while we were traveling for the holidays. She sent lots of updates with pictures. They got lots of cuddles and attention. I appreciated that Riley treated them like her own. Will definitely be using Riley in the future and would recommend to my friends in the area!!”

“This was our 1st time hiring a dog sitter & using Rover. Amber was GREAT!! She was so helpful, super friendly, on time, responsive, you name it! She stayed at our house for 4 nights/5days w/Sarge & even brought him a playmate (which he loved!)

Pet parents share their Rover experiences - Huntsville
We love Hannah! She flawlessly cares for our two rowdy dogs and 4 ducklings. She is a fantastic communicator and our home is always spotless upon our return (she has even fixed our pool after a feral goat ripped a hose out!). It is evident that Hannah has a true love for animals. We are so grateful for her.
Savannah did a spectacular job watching my 11-year-old lab who recently had a lung lobectomy and is currently experiencing arthritis. She made sure to take her time, carefully and slow slowly walking with June at a pace that worked well for her. Savannah was able to take June on more than three walks every single day and followed all rules perfectly. I couldn’t have asked for a better experience and I am so grateful that she was available to step in.

Frequently asked questions about Rover
The average cost of House Sitting in Huntsville is $50 per night as of October 2026. Most bookings cost between $29 and $83 per night. 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 310 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 , 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 .
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 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 .
sitters on Rover set their own , 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.

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.
