About: Throughout my life I've grown up around and cared for many dogs, cats, birds, and small mammals. I've also had the wonderful opportunity to participate in my high school's doggie daycare, where we walked, played, and provided grooming services to dogs. My lifelong love for animals has led me to become a student at Texas A&M majoring in Wildlife and Fisheries, and for my freshman year I was a member of a service dog training organization called Patriot Paws. Currently I'm volunteering weekly at a wolfdog sanctuary where I clean enclosures and care for the wolfdogs that reside there! My availability should be accurately reflected on my calendar. Im usually available all times of day and any day of the week. I prefer at least 2 days notice for a booking. When caring for pets, I'll try to care for them in the same way they're used to when their owners are home. If there's any specifications for feeding, walking, etc. I'll follow it as close as I can.
“Juliette was a wonderful sitter for our little chi. She communicated well, remembered all the directions and even helped us with a side quest while we were away. Thank you very much for the help!”
About: I have had dogs my whole life. I have also sat pets for many years for my friends and neighbors. I have worked as a dog bather so I have experience handling dogs of all shapes, sizes, and temperaments. I am also willing to bathe, brush, shave paw pads and mats for your dog, the rate is under drop in visits but that is for everything I just listed if you just need one service we can talk about that 😁 (rate will also change depending on the size of the dog). I volunteer at animal rescues so I am very familiar with rescue animals and accommodations they may need. I love any and all animals. I recently started working with cats at my rescue and am willing to learn more about them. I am back in Huntsville for college! Here is my weekly schedule! This is the hard set schedule but I may have other activities seeing as I am a volunteer and honors student. monday: 2-3:50 tues, thurs: classes from 11-3:30 wed,fri,sat,sun: nothing :) When caring for pets in a clients home, I follow their normal routine as consistently as possible. I make sure they have water, food on time, bathroom breaks, playtime/exercise, and lots of love. For walks I pay attention to how the dog behaves and set my pace, energy, and length of walk to best fit them. For drop-ins and house sitting I make sure the pet gets playtime, basic care, and companionship based on their routine. I have experience with everyday pet care and have also bathed dogs I have cared for when needed. I aim to make pets feel safe, relaxed, and loved while their owner is away.
About: I provide wonderful and reliable service. I am very attentive and willing and able to care for any dogs special needs. Any dog big or small, I will love and tend to them like they are my own. Their happiness and safety are my first priority when dog sitting or dog walking. I would love to be of service to you and your animal. I am currently looking to get more active on the days and nights i do not work, and walking dogs is the perfect thing i can think of! I have two 15 lb dogs who love to play! I have my own crate if needed, but would prefer to have you provide one that your dog is comfortable with.

About: I've been around dogs my entire life. Growing up, I was always responsible for feeding, bathing, and walking my family's pets. I am also a student majoring in pre-veterinary medicine and hoping to become a veterinarian. I love all animals deeply and strive to make every dog that comes under my care feel loved and wanted.

Ensuring your pup's comfort is my top priority, so everything will remain as is. As long as I am shown the ropes on how everything is maintained, then you can trust that everything will remain the same as when you left it. I will also provide frequent updates and contact you in the event of an emergency.
“Danielle is lovely and a true animal person She connected with my shy kitty so quickly and he was playing with her and engaging with her almost immediately. I highly recommend her. ? ?”
About: I have grown up taking care of my own pets and as a child i was expected to train and take care of all the dogs in my household i have also taken care of pets around my neighborhood for some time now. I am now in summer vacation so i am open however early or late everyday unless i am out of town. I have my own transportation aswell. With my dog at home i take her on walks at least 3 times a day, I also feed her and bathe her as well.
“SUPER EXCITED FOR MY BABIES!!! I was very hesitant in hiring a sitter again after a bad experience eight months ago while out of the country, but I’m so glad I gave it another chance. From our meet-and-greet, Amina was wonderful with my two boxer Ava & AJ. Ava was unsure at first, but Amina respected Ava’s space, let her approach on her own terms, and built trust right away. Amina was always on time and immediately attentive to my dogs. She was active with them during every visit, and when she left, they were happy, calm, and tired. For the first time, I truly enjoyed my trip without worrying—her photo updates showed my dogs running, playing, and genuinely having fun. The difference compared to my last sitter was night and day. With the last sitter, I’d return to clingy, stressed pups who seemed afraid I would leave again. After Amina visits, they greeted me excitedly but remained relaxed and content. I never dreaded her arrival; in fact, on the cameras I saw my dogs lounging happily on the sofa after she left, clearly satisfied from the attention and exercise. I can’t stop telling people how great this experience was. Amina gave me peace of mind and gave my dogs the care they deserve. I’m excited to hire her again for future trips—highly recommend! Amina thank you so much for loving on my babies. You truly are a professional.”
About: I have always had a passion for caring for animals and ensuring they feel safe, loved, and comfortable, even during a short visit. I take pride in providing dependable care while giving pet owners peace of mind through reliable communication and attentive service. My goal is to ensure every pet is happy, healthy, and treated with the same love and compassion I would give my own, creating a positive experience for both pets and their families. Starting August 3rd I will only be available for one time drop in visits/walks after 5pm Mon-Fri. I will have a more open availability on the weekends. Any emergency visits on the weekdays that require more than 1 drop in visits/walks please feel free to message me and we can work something out! I ensure to follow any provided instructions and the animals routines as much as possible. I also don’t mind following up with messages and photos of your lovely fur babies upon each visit
“Dena is such a blessing to us! We have a grumpy old chihuahua who can be a challenge to say the least. She has made every effort to help him get comfortable with her prior to us leaving on vacation. I am pleased to say they are now friends and we can enjoy our time away without worrying he is making things difficult for her. I highly recommend her!”

A pet sitter can provide focused care sessions, help your pet’s routine stay on track, or keep you updated on your pet’s mood and energy levels.
Whether you’re at the office for the day or traveling for a few nights, a pet sitter can offer potty breaks during a Huntsville stroll, cleaning the litter box, or making sure your pet has on-time food or water refills. For daytime services like walking and drop-ins, you can also request sitters to send a report card with every visit.
Tip: You can discuss your specific arrangements with a pet sitter on Rover to what fits you, your pet, and your sitter’s needs. To find what their special skills are, look at the "Skills" and "Pet care experience" sections on their profile.
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:
- 94% of sitters can help with special care needs
- 96% 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.
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.
