“Hannah M did a great job! She gave our pups all the attention they needed while we were gone for nearly a week. And she kept up with any mess they made aswell and stayed in contact with us often. We greatly appreciate it.”
“We booked Kaylen for house sitting with our two cats and two dogs for a few days while we were out of town and I can’t say enough great things about her! The animals instantly warmed to her and we loved receiving the photo updates each day. She walked the dogs each morning and even gave them a little grooming while we were gone! Truly an overall 10/10 experience and we are so thankful she was available to stay with our pets!”
About: I’ve worked at a humane society as an animal care technician, I cleaned kennels, walked dogs, socialized with dogs and cats, fed and provided water, and gave medication prescribed to dogs. I also dog sat for my mom’s friend for a full week, I fed them and filled their water bowls and gave them daily attention with multiple potty breaks throughout the day. I’m currently a college student and schedule wise I am available on weekends and for Monday and Friday I’m available after 11:00am and for the rest of the weekdays I’m available after 2:30pm I don’t have any pets of my own but when I am at my parents house I take care of the dogs by feeding them and filling water bowls, I also spend time with them by play tug of war. So if you need someone who will show your pet affection, you can count on me
“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!!”
About: My first job was walking dogs back in middle school! I also stayed a couple nights at a family friend’s house in order to pet sit while they’re on vacation. I also have a pit of my own named eli, and a bunny named coco :)) I just recently started college, and it’s been a little hard finding a job, so my availability is pretty open, I only have a couple classes throughout the days :)) My dog roams around the house. He’s very friendly and loves to make doggy friends. Since he is a little bigger, small dogs might be intimidated, but he’s very gentle, and if needed, there’s a room we lock our dog in when there’s company :)
“so grateful we found caylin!! she too amazing care of our very anxious dog. she made her feel safe and loved the whole time we were gone and took care of our home. 10/10 recommend caylin for your dog/housesitting needs.”
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.
About: What sets me apart is that I’m patient, responsible, and genuinely love spending time with animals. I had both cats and dogs my entire like and I’m comfortable caring for both energetic young pets and senior dogs who may need a slower pace, extra patience, or more frequent attention. I’m also happy to follow specific feeding, walking, medication, or training routines to help pets feel comfortable while their parent is away. I am currently a student at Sam Houston State University, studying Kinesiology (Pre-PT), so my schedule can be a little hectic. My availability is not always completely accurate, but if you get in contact with me we can work something out! I am super laid back and love to just spend time laying around, but I can also get up and moving if your pet is high energy.
About: Hi! I love animals and I currently work in a Veterinary hospital part-time and I have experience in boarding/daycares. I have taken care of all kinds of animals since I was young. I have experience with dogs, cats, and more! Neighbors, friends, and family have relied on me to take care of their pets, take them on walks, and give medication if needed. I am able to stop by multiple times throughout the day, and I can even spend the night in your home if needed. I am also always available to take your pets on a walk or even just stop by for a few hours to play, let out, feed, etc. I care for your pets in your home just as you would yourself. I would like to keep your pets healthy and happy while you're away, and I enjoy making new furry friends! I can meet all your expectations that you require.

“Karen was awesome! She took such incredible care of our Dog, and the house looked better than we left it. It’s such a relief to find someone so reliable. We would certainly ask her to come back.”
About: I grew up taking care of cats, dogs, guinea pigs, hamsters, etc. I have experience in walking, playing, feeding, and being a friend to all animals! :) I am pretty open on weekends and some weekdays! I am flexible with my schedule, and like to plan in advance. I would love to help out in house/pet sitting! I am safe, trustworthy, and reliable when taking care of pets.

“This is thw first time I used Cali. She was prompt. She sent pictures. Babies were happy and healthy when I got home. Ahe even went above and beyond and did some housework for me!”
About: I’ve always had a natural love for animals and tend to gravitate toward the pets in any room I’m in! I grew up with both cats and dogs and have always considered them part of the family. I currently walk my own dogs daily and have experience caring for pets while their owners are away. I’ve done check ins for family members and close friends, as well as pet sitting jobs for neighbors and friends. I know how important it is to feel comfortable leaving your pets in someone else’s care. I’ll take the time to get to know your pet, follow their routine, and make sure they receive plenty of attention, care, and affection while you’re away. Your pets aren't just pets, they're family, and I’ll treat them that way! 🐶🐱 I'm currently working part time, but most of my shifts only take up half the day, which allows me plenty of free time ready to be spent with your fur babies!! I am accustomed to doing stay-over pet sitting jobs and know how to be respectful of the home. I will only go in the rooms necessary to the job and keep mostly to main living areas unless specified otherwise. I also know that all pets have different routines/eating habits and am willing to learn the best way to take of your pets!
About: I’ve been around and taken care of pretty much any animal under the sun for all my life. I’ve had many people entrust me to care for their furry (or scaly!) babies while they were away, and I’ve loved every experience. i’m currently a college student, so I usually have time during the day to check in on your pets when I don’t have classes! Let me know how many times a day you’d like me to come see your pets and I will do my best to make it happen! I will make sure your pets get plenty of play time to get their energy out! I also know anxiety can be high among animals when their owners are gone, so I’ll be sure to shower them with affection too.
““Adien was great! My dogs absolutely loved him. He sent pictures throughout the day and night, which gave me great peace of mind. He even stayed a couple of nights with them, and I couldn’t have asked for better care. I highly recommend Adien!””
About: I have taken care of pets most of my life. I have had multiple pets in my life. Right now I have a 4 year old cat and a 1 year old dog. I am currently home all the time. Only if I’m shopping for different things like grocery or pet food and toys. We usually wake up at 6 and then it’s breakfast time then we go for walks. I have a fenced in small yard but big enough to run around and play in. I have to animals. I have a dog and a cat. My babies enjoy watching their tv shows. They both have different interests and favorite so they usually take both the tvs in my house.
About: I have been taking care of pets for family members and friends for over 5 years now. It started when a friend had an emergency out of town and needed help. It was a pleasure to sit in and feed, play, and send goofy pictures of my friend’s dog to provide ease and comfort during a hard time. I work full time and that means my cats are fed on a routine. They require a special diet that requires portioned meals and time to play. I have an active pet cam that I am able to use to talk to them when I am not home to provide comfort and time dispensers for treats. I will abide by your routine and follow directive on when to feed, when to walk, and when to provide or administer medication. Only you know your companion best and in order to provide safety and structure, as your care-taker it would be a privilege to honor your schedule and routine.

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.
Melodi was a blessing! She was by far the best dog sitter I have ever booked! I have one dog that is nervous around new people but she bonded with my pups in minutes. She left my house cleaner than it was when she arrived! She kept me updated the whole time with videos and photos. I would highly recommend booking Melodi!

Frequently asked questions about Rover
The average cost for House Sitting in Huntsville on Rover is $49.95 per night (as of September 2026). However, all sitters set their own rates based on experience, location, and availability.
Rover makes budgeting the cost of House 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 House Sitting. For more information on service fees, click here .
As of September 2026, there are 305 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:
- 94% of sitters can help with special care needs
- 97% 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.
