About: I have decades of animal care experience, but I am also passionate about animal care and behavior. I've taken care of dogs and cats of all ages, from newborn animals to senior animals at the end of their life, and in many different contexts, including shelter animals, farm animals, and housepets. I also have extensive experience with farm animals such as horses, and have also cared for birds, insects, fish, and reptiles. I love getting to know each animal: their personality, likes and dislikes, and how they interact with the world. I treat each animal like the individual they are and get to know their particular care and routine. I do the best I can to help the animals I care for to feel comfortable and safe. What I am particularly experienced in: -Caring for senior dogs, including those who need meds or need aid in mobility -Caring for multi-animal households I am currently in-between jobs, so my schedule is completely open. I do not currently have any commitments, so I am able to dedicate my time to pet care. I make it a point to be safe and communicative throughout anytime I care for or petsit an animal: -Before I take care of any animal, I make sure to meet them and their owner together. This allows the pet to meet me, a new person, while having an already familiar person with them. This helps pet be more at ease and helps me to see how the pet feels when they are more comfortable. Meeting the pet beforehand allows us both to get to know each other, which will make for a more safe and pleasant experience when I go to care for that animal for the first time. At this same meeting, I can talk with the owners to learn about the animal, such as their background and any medical concerns. -While petsitting, I update the owners at least once a day as to how their pet is doing. If there is an issue, I make sure to immediately contact the owners with my concerns. -While caring for the animal, I always carefully watch their body language and behavior. I act in a calm manner and try to help animal feel at ease. I make sure to ask the owners about sources for anxiety for their pet, such any fears the animal may have or any areas the animal does not like being touched, so that I am aware. -Before leaving, I always check that the animal is safe and secure, such as crating an animal in needed, putting harmful things out of reach, and double checking doors are locked.
“Paige was absolutely amazing with my two kittens while I was away on vacation. She kept me updated, made sure they were well cared for, and genuinely treated them like her own. What really stood out to me was how attentive she was she noticed right away that one of my kittens wasn’t feeling well and immediately let me know so I could get her to the vet. I’m so grateful for her care, communication, and attention to detail. It gave me so much peace of mind knowing my pets were in such good hands. I would highly recommend Paige to anyone looking for a reliable and caring pet sitter!”
“Kylie watched our two dogs for a long weekend and was great! She took them for walks, made sure they had fresh water and food at dinner time, sent us updates throughout the visits, and was so easy to work with! I would recommend Kylie to anyone looking for help with their animals. You can tell she really cares and is someone we will definitely book with again in the future.”
“Jennifer is the best. She went above and beyond to help arrange some last minute and additional care when we had a concern about our cats. She wasn’t even scheduled but jumped right in to help us. We appreciate her so much. And she is also great with our kitties and they love her!”
“Saige was absolutely fantastic! Super responsive and professional, and clearly a pet lover! I was in a pinch and contacted her on short notice and she was able to accommodate. Our Zoey pup loved her! Highly recommend!”
“Jeff was awesome! I have a 5 mo puppy learning to be an adult dog and Jeff was needed to let the pup out at lunch for potty & lunch for a week. Jeff was so helpful and made my dog's schedule his priority. Not only did be let Finn out to do his business but he also took Finn for a short walk! There were resident cats looking for an escape route but Jeff was on top of the escape plan & thwarted their every attempt to break free; even bringing treats for the cats! I can't thank Jeff enough to making that week disaster-free and worry-free!”
“Wonderful petsitter that kept my mind at ease while I was away from my cat. She has great communication and flexibility. Many pictures to keep me updated and made sure to give my cat a fun playful time during the visits. 5/5 highly recommended”
“Connor took excellent care of my two senior dogs! She was very nice and very loving towards my dogs. Great with communication and punctual. Followed all directions. I highly recommend her!”
“I liked Chloe the minute I met her. She came over for a pre visit to meet my cats and learn about their routine. Ava and Tucker warmed up to her right away and I knew they would be in good hands. Chloe arrived on schedule for four mornings and five evenings to feed, play with and attend the litter box. When I arrived home from my trip, the house was in order, and everything looked as I left it. I’ll definitely request Chloe again. 🏠😸👍🏻👍🏻”
About: I am active and love taking care of pets. I am adaptable and can work in any setting while still being very organized and on task. I am currently a college athlete at Xavier University and manage my course load along with my athletic commitments. While I do have a lot going on I have lots of downtime away from sports and school where I would love to spend it helping people out. I have 2 dogs, ages 5 and 7, that live in my home. I live in an area with easily accessible walking paths and parks while also have a yard for dogs to play in.
“Megan is an amazing sitter who took great care of my special needs dog when I had to leave town for work. She gave him his insulin without any issues and gave me great notes on how the visit went. She went above and beyond in every visit and she is at the top of my list for future needs. She really kept my heart at ease when I couldn’t be home and made me feel good about leaving him in her care.”
“Very responsive and sent out messages and photos while we were away. We were traveling internationally with poor cell/internet and I knew they were being taken care of. We have one cat that often hides from cat sitters, but he didn’t :)”
“Suzanne did a drop in visit with our two cats while we were away for the weekend. She was great to work with and I would absolutely rebook with her! I highly recommend her for your pet sitting needs :)”
“Emma was great at taking care of my 3 dogs while on vacation. She made sure they got plenty of attention and belly rubs. Played fetch with my puppy and took a lot of pictures. My oldest has problems with his eyes and she took care of him by cleaning his eyes and giving him his eye drops twice a day. I would recommend her if you need someone to take care of your fur babies. I will be re-booking with her soon.”
“We had Monica let our dog out a couple times while we were gone for an overnight. She was great! We didn't have a chance to meet before hand as it was a last minute request but I was able to leave a key and instructions. She was great with our dog, filled his food and water, let him out, took him for a little walk, and even sent us a photo/updates. Would definitely recommend her if you need someone to care for your dog!”

We are so grateful we found Lindsay!!! She was wonderful, and our pups were clearly happy in every photo she sent during her visits. She is very sweet and great with communication. We lost power due to a storm while we were away, and she immediatley reached out to let us know and ask what, if anything, she needed to do. From our very first meeting I felt confident about hiring her, and I would highly recommend her to anyone!! Thank you, Lindsay!!! :)
Kylie watched our two dogs for a long weekend and was great!

Mark was outstanding with my dog. He was punctual, attentive, and clearly loves animals. I appreciated his clear communication, quick updates, and the thoughtful care he provided, from long walks to gentle playtime. My pup was happy and relaxed.

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 Montgomery 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.
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 Montgomery 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!
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 .

A Meet & Greet is a short introductory meeting between you, your dog, 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.
While Rover doesn’t offer traditional subscription services, some sitters offer recurring bookings for services like home visits and dog walking. Recurring services come with their own perks, such as flexibility to modify services (up to five weeks in advance), automatic billing, Rover Card updates, and same-day cancellations.
To find sitters in Montgomery with recurring or weekly availability, select "Repeat Weekly" and which days you’d like them to care for your pet.

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.
