About: I've been taking care of pets of all kinds since before I started high school. I'm currently a college student with long gaps in between classes that I would love to fill hanging out with your pups (and kitties!). I've cared for multiple senior dogs, as well as some pretty quirky animals that needed their own type of special attention. If you need someone to spend time with your precious pet, I'm the one for the job! While away at college, I haven't had the opportunity to see my own fur baby too often, but when I do, I ensure he gets multiple walks a day and good playtime stimulation! While I can't house any pets in my current living space, I treat every animal with respect and care. Sufficient walks, playtime, and the occasional treat are important to your pets health and therefore matter to me! I will make sure your pet has everything they need, including any special attention they may require, such as medication, extra walks, or anything else.
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 currently work at the Long vet clinic as i receptionists and I’ve been in training working for two week as of 10/17/26 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
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 :)
“Jamie was so awesome with our old kitty Lance. She took him out for some sun time and made sure he got plenty of head scratches and treats while we were away. Highly recommend her and will definitely book again.”
About: Hi! I am currently a full-time student but my schedule is flexible. I used to work in a Veterinary hospital 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 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.
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.

Your pets remain in the comfort of their familiar environment, where they feel safest, and I make sure their routines are kept consistent so they stay happy and secure.

Frequently asked questions about Rover
The average cost of Pet Sitting in Huntsville is $17 per visit as of October 2026. Most bookings cost between $12 and $24 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 570 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 .
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.

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 .
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.
