“Morgan did a wonderful job caring for my three dogs while I was out of town. She handled it with confidence and care. I had complete peace of mind knowing my dogs were comfortable and well cared for while I was away. She was also very attentive and respectful of my home. I will absolutely continue using Morgan in the future and highly recommend her to anyone looking for a trustworthy pet sitter.”

“Raylin did an outstanding job caring for our pups while I was out of town. Jaxon & Maggie seemed happy & content when I returned home after 5 days. I would highly recommend Raylin!”

“I can’t recommend Emma enough! Leaving my kitten, Lumi, for the first time was something I was really nervous about, but Emma made the entire experience so much easier. She took such amazing care of Lumi, gave her lots of love and attention. When we came home, the house was incredibly clean. It was such a relief to come home to a happy, well cared for kitten and know she had been in such good hands. Emma truly went above and beyond, and you can tell she genuinely cares about the pets she watches. I’m so grateful for everything she did, and I will absolutely be asking her to watch Lumi again. If you’re looking for someone kind, trustworthy, and who will treat your pets like family, Emma is the perfect choice!”

“Bo did a great job with my two dogs and a turtle when I had to go out of town for a few days. She treats them like they are her own pets. She is very kind. She left my house as clean or cleaner than when I left. She is great at communicating and giving updates. I will definitely be using her again!”
“Matthew did a great job caring for Red on Reds schedule. Our Senior requires medications morning and evening with consistency on timing and dosing. What a comfort to travel and know Red’s care and needs were met. We will use him again!!”

“Gabrielle provides excellent care for my 3 dogs and goes way above and beyond what most dog sitters do. She is the ultimate 5 star in pet care: top notch attention, loving, thorough, caring and genuinely loves her 4 legged clients. I can’t recommend her highly enough. Peace of mind and lots of photos and videos of my doggos is guaranteed when I book Gabrielle. We are extremely fortunate to have her in the Fairhope area!”

“This is our first time going away for multiple days. Halley took them for walks, cuddled with them and just played. Jersey and Josie love her!!! We will totally be using her again.”

“Abigail did an excellent job staying at my house and taking care of our 2 dogs and 2 cats while we went out of town. She is very trustworthy and I really appreciated the daily photos!! I will call Abby next time for sure. Thanks Abby!!”


About: I have worked in animal care fields for over five years. I used to work at two different boarding facility's where we would get not only dogs but cats and even birds sometimes. I have also stayed at family and neighbors houses while they were away to help with there fur babies! I look forward to meeting your beloved animals no matter how big or small! I currently work full time at a bank. I have a lot of free time for the weekends and for after work. I have to be at my work by 8:15 but will be able to come depending how close for my lunch to let the babies out. I get off around five so I will be back for the rest of the night. I am currently not able to bring pets to my home due to one of my dogs not being the friendliest. I am able to come and stay at your residence and also available for walking.
About: What sets me apart is my professional experience in veterinary medicine. I have several years of hands-on experience as a veterinary assistant, so I’m comfortable recognizing signs of illness, administering medications, and caring for pets with special medical needs. I have experience with puppies, senior pets, and animals that may be nervous or require extra patience. Whether your pet needs medication, a consistent routine, or just lots of love and attention, I’ll treat them like they’re part of my own family. I understand how important it is to trust the person caring for your pet, so I always provide reliable communication, photo updates, and personalized care to make sure both you and your pet feel comfortable while you’re away. Pet care is already a big part of my everyday life. I work in the veterinary field, so caring for animals is what I do both professionally and personally. My schedule allows me to provide walks, drop-in visits, overnight stays, medication administration, and plenty of one-on-one attention. I plan my day around the pets in my care to make sure they stay on their normal routine. Whether it’s feeding, exercise, playtime, medications, or just giving extra cuddles, I make it a priority to provide dependable, loving care and keep pet parents updated with photos and messages throughout each visit. I always care for pets as if they were my own while following each owner’s specific instructions and routine. In my client’s home, I work to keep pets comfortable by maintaining their normal schedule for feeding, walks, playtime, potty breaks, medications, and lots of love and attention. I also make sure their home is respected and kept clean, and I provide regular photo and message updates so owners can have peace of mind while they’re away. If caring for pets in my home, I provide a safe, clean, and loving environment with plenty of supervised playtime, exercise, and affection. I make sure each pet has fresh water, comfortable places to rest, and receives individualized care based on their personality, age, and needs. My veterinary experience also allows me to confidently care for puppies, senior pets, and pets that require medications or extra monitoring.

“Claire was fantastic with Delta. She was very prompt in answering any questions, and followed all of the instructions that were asked of her. I will gladly use her again to watch Delta. Thank you Claire!”

About: Pet sitting is a long-standing family tradition for us. When my daughters were growing up, their demanding schedules as competitive dancers didn't allow time for them to hold traditional jobs. To help fund their training, the three of us spent years house and pet sitting together during summers and holidays. I taught them the deep responsibility, respect, and attentiveness required to care for someone else's home and animals. In fact, those lessons stuck so well that my daughter, now a professional dancer, still pet sits between her contracts! Growing up, my life was beautifully full of dogs, cats, birds, and horses (along with an open-door policy for any stray or injured animal that needed help, including rabbits, squirrels and armadillos), which gave me a lifetime of hands-on experience and a deep intuition for animal behavior. Over the decades, I have comfortably managed everything from standard routines to specialized care, including administering oral medications, managing strict supplement schedules, and caring for pets recovering from injury or dealing with age-related limitations. I understand that every pet has unique emotional and physical needs, and I pride myself on providing a calm, steady presence that makes them feel safe and completely secure in their own home. Specialized Experience & Capabilities With a lifetime spent surrounded by dogs, cats, birds, and horses, I comfortably provide specialized, high-tier care that goes far beyond standard pet sitting: Puppy & Kitten Socialization: Building foundational bonds, routine structure, and basic command reinforcement. Senior, Hospice, & End-of-Life Care: Providing a gentle, dignified, and highly intuitive environment for aging companions. Medical & Supplement Management: Expert administration of oral medications, strict supplement schedules, and precise medical timelines. Injury & Surgery Recovery: Meticulous oversight for pets navigating strict physical limitations or recovering from trauma. Anxious & Trust-Building Needs: Creating a secure sanctuary for fosters, recent adoptees, or pets with separation anxiety. Personally & Professionally - Please note: While I am new to this platform (referred by my daughter, a long-time Rover), I bring an 11-year history as a five-star Airbnb guest with a track record of excellent reviews, a five-star rated DoorDasher, and I am also a corporate professional with an established, vetted background on LinkedIn with over 2,000 connections! My status as a WFH (Work from Home) professional allows me to provide your pets with round-the-clock supervision and deskside companionship. My baseline rate accounts for standard flexibility, allowing me to step out for up to 6 hours as needed. For pets needing true Constant Care—where medical, dietary, or anxiety needs require me to remain on the property continuously—there is a $25/day premium add-on. About Me: Committed to Elite, Constant Care Hello! I am a remote-working professional (who LOVES to Travel) embarking on an intentional, vibrant new chapter of life as an empty nester. For the last 25 years, my proudest title was "Mom," raising two incredible daughters as a single mother. Now that they are navigating their own successful paths, I am dedicated to bringing that same fierce devotion, love, and round-the-clock enrichment to your beloved fur-babies. (NOTE: One daughter lives on a cruise ship as a performer, my oldest daughter lives in NYC, and other family members spread about, leaving me interested in traveling ALL OVER - So please feel free to request me!) I understand the profound worry that can come with leaving your pets behind. My mission is to alleviate all anxiety by offering true constant care in the comfort of your home. I bring an intuitive, deeply empathetic approach to caregiving, connecting with your companions on a heart-to-heart level to establish trust, routine, and a calm, steady presence while you are away. My Heart & Dedication: Stories of True Commitment My intuition for animal behavior isn't just a hobby; it is a lifelong calling. I don't easily fluster, and I have a deep-seated "open-door policy" for any creature in need. To understand the level of dedication I bring to your home, you just have to look at a few chapters of my life: Beating the Odds with Bali: Shortly after COVID, I lost my beloved Pomeranian, Bali (whose beautiful life I chronicled on Instagram - Her picture in my profile). When Bali was born, she was so critically ill that vets said she wouldn't make it. I refused to give up. For two solid months, I held her tiny, lethargic puppy body constantly, bottle-feeding her around the clock until she finally perked up and beat the odds. She grew up believing it was beneath her to bark or even use the bathroom in a public space—she was part cat, part human, and the absolute center of my world. That is the level of fierce, round-the-clock devotion I bring to animals under my care. A Gentle Guardian for Seniors (Intuition When It Matters Most): I deeply respect the vulnerability of senior pets. During one of my sits for a sweet senior Golden Retriever, I noticed some unusual lumps that her owners hadn't yet seen. I advocated for her and urged them to take her to the vet, where she was unfortunately diagnosed with cancer. A short time later, while her parents had to travel for an essential work trip, I watched her again. Within a couple of days, I could sense a deep shift in her energy—I knew the signs, and I knew she was declining. Though I make it a strict rule to never unnecessarily disrupt a client's trip, I followed my intuition and called them, gently but firmly explaining that they needed to come home ASAP. They arrived the next day, and she peacefully passed away the very next morning. Her parents were profoundly grateful; they couldn't imagine the heartbreak of not being there for her final moments. I bring that same protective vigilance to your aging companions. Rescuing Boomer: My home has always been a sanctuary for those who need it. I once rescued a scrawny, struggling young cat named Boomer in a parking lot. She was so incredibly grateful for the food and safety I offered that she kept coming right back to my front door (hence her name, "Boomer" for boomerang). Eventually, I made her an official indoor cat, and she spent the rest of her days as the happiest, most pampered girl. The Miracle on the Roadside: My respect for life extends to all of nature's creatures. I once pulled over for an armadillo on the side of the road that had unfortunately been hit by a car. Though she had passed, I noticed her stomach moving. Her pouch was full of live babies. We rescued them, brought them home, and successfully bottle-fed them. Every Life Matters: On another occasion, I spotted a tiny squirrel lying motionless on the sidewalk after falling from a tree. I carefully wrapped her in a towel, secured her in a large, comfortable box to give her room, and spent hours calling resources until I connected with a local squirrel sanctuary that took her in. Personally & Professionally - Please note: While I am new to this platform (referred by my daughter, a long-time Rover) I bring an 11-year history as a five-star Airbnb guest with a track record of excellent reviews, a five-star rated DoorDasher, and I am also a corporate professional with an established, vetted background on LinkedIn with over 2,000 connections!

About: He crecido con animales toda mi vida he disfrutado de su compañía especialmente de los perros, los considero mis amigos y genero siempre una conexión con ellos. Me genera una gran emoción poder cuidarlos y jugarles. La alegría de ellos es la mía. En algún tiempo rescate perros 🐕 abandonados así que bañarlos quitarles pulgas o garrapatas no será un problema. Me interesa el cuidado con bienestar y hacer felices a sus dueños. Soy ama de casa y tengo mi propio degocio de marketing digital de turismo. Asi que puedo manejar mis horarios y coordinar con los dueños de las mascotas. Tengo un lindo jardin con cerca, mi casa es comoda y tambien el.barrio para poder pasear a los perros. No solo estarán en el jardin quiero caminar con ellos
About: I’ve grown up around animals my whole life. I have been with inside dogs to outside. No size scares me and have dealt with dogs that have required full 24/7 care with timed medications. I’m currently a college student looking for morning work aside from my afternoon job. If you need a home sister or someone to check in on the weekends I am your person as-well! In your home, I follow the same standards I would for my own. Your dog is my top priority whether we’re snuggling, playing fetch or tug-of-war, or enjoying a walk. I provide care with patience, attention, and genuine love, just as every dog deserves. You tell me what your dog needs and I will be there.

Frequently asked questions about Rover
As of July 2026, there are 482 sitters on Rover offering House Sitting across Loxley. 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 Loxley 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 Loxley 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 Loxley 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 Loxley. On Rover:
- 98% 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.
