About: I’ve always enjoyed being around animals and have experience caring for dogs and cats with different personalities and needs. For the past two years, I’ve regularly helped family and friends with pet care, including dog walking and looking after pets. I’m patient, dependable, and pay attention to each pet’s individual needs. I always make sure they’re safe, comfortable, and well cared for. I’m retired, so I have a flexible schedule and plenty of time to spend with your pets. I’m available for walks, drop-in visits, and pet sitting during the week and on weekends. I’m happy to work around your schedule and your pet’s needs. I always put your pet’s safety and comfort first. I’ll follow your instructions carefully and make sure your pet feels safe and comfortable while you’re away. I’m patient, responsible, and treat every pet like they’re my own.
“Sara did a terrific job taking care of our dog and cat. She kept us updated on how they were doing and didn’t hesitate to ask questions if she needed information on how to provide the best care. Thank you, Sara.”
About: I have always been an animal lover and had many different types of dogs and ca†s throughout my life. I love big dogs and cannot wait to meet your pets!! I am a full time student at the University of Montevallo but have plenty of gaps and time in my schedule just for your furry friends! I always keep an eye out, especially outside, for things that the animal could get into while ensuring a fun and engaging experience for animals of all shapes and sizes!
About: My experience with dogs is not as extensive as my cat experience however I learned a lot in owning a dog for a little while. I do not currently have a job so my schedule is fairly open. Once I am employed full time my availability will only be afternoons and weekends. I can easily crate a dog. I can take your fur baby on walks and spend time with them inside your home. For cats I will make sure to feed them, and play with them if they are willing.

About: Hi! I’m Connor. I am passionate about dogs and giving them the love and care they deserve. I have spent time volunteering for Shelby humane as well as adopting my two dogs. I have also both cared for and been around dogs my whole life. I would love to go above and beyond and treat your fur baby like I would my own! I am currently in school for real estate. this helps provide a flexible schedule for my potential clients. My dog is very active so we have lots of time to play! I am happy to follow any instructions you provide for your home, while making sure your dog is safe and taken care of! I am very diligent to ease your mind
“I would book Kamryn to watch Diggs a thousand times over! She took extra time and care to make sure he was comfortable with her (he’s scan be pretty anxious with new people). She updated me several times a day about potties and feedings and took her time to hang out and play with him. I felt so comfortable leaving Diggs in her care!! I cannot thank her enough for the extra steps and reassurance she provided me that he was in the best care while I way away!!”
About: I have owned numerous pets and cared for many more like they were my own. Deep affection for critters and intentional about caregiving for these precious family members and homes. I’m also good with plants and fish! I am a contracted fisheries observer in the Bering Sea, and take seasons off when I'm able. This allows me a very flexible schedule in my week and this August-December. I can drive to the pets and homes which need my care and take pets on hikes, walks, play dates, give baths and meds, and/or any other needs they have. I can also ensure the home is locked and secured and kept tidy.
“Princess house sat with our two dogs and kept us updated throughout the stay with pictures and videos. The dogs were obviously well taken care of, and so was the house. Thank you!”
About: I always tell my clients that I will treat their animals like my own. I want your pets experience to feel comforting, enjoyable, and reliable. I have pet sit for 8 years now. I fit it in mostly on weekends now that I have a dog of my own but I could potentially do it full time in the near future. I want to state that I do not stay overnight with your dog but will give them the needed attention and care multiple times a day and be right back to do the same the following day. I have a fenced in yard for my dog and a doggy door for her to let herself in and out during the day. I don’t leave her longer than 5 hours. I believe pets thrive off of human interaction and we are their best friend and all they know. Trust in me to give your pet a good time while you’re away. I will work off of you and your pets needs.
About: Hi! My name is Adrian, and I've been around dogs and cats for most of my life. I grew up helping care for large dogs and have always been the person my family relies on to feed, play with, and look after our pets. I especially love large breeds and enjoy spending time outdoors, playing, and making sure dogs get the attention and exercise they need. Every pet has their own personality, and I take the time to earn their trust so they feel comfortable and safe while you're away. I'll treat your pets with the same care and respect I'd want someone to show mine. I'm currently very flexible and have plenty of availability throughout the week for house sitting, drop-in visits, and walks. Because my schedule is open, I can dedicate plenty of attention to your pets instead of rushing between commitments. I communicate regularly, send photo updates, and always make sure owners know their pets are happy and well cared for. For everyone's safety and comfort, I currently only offer care in my client's home. My family dog is not comfortable around unfamiliar animals, so I don't provide boarding in my own home. When caring for pets in your home, I carefully follow your routines, make sure fresh water is always available, maintain feeding and bathroom schedules, provide plenty of attention and exercise, and send regular photo updates so you can relax while you're away. I also treat every home with the same respect and care that I would expect for my own. My goal is for you to come home to a happy pet and a clean 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 Maylene 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 Maylene 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.
<b>Tip:</b> 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 Maylene 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 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 Meet & Greet .
sitters on Rover set their own cancellation policy , 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.
