“I highly recommend Avery! She took such amazing care of my golden doodle, bunny and cockatiel while we were on a family vacation. She communicated very well and sent photos while we were away. It’s not easy finding someone you trust with all of your pets, but Avery was responsible, attentive, and truly treated them like her own. She loves animals and has lots of experience with them which made me feel confident she would do well. I came home to happy pets and felt completely confident while I was away. I’m so grateful for the love and care she gave them and would absolutely have her watch them again! 🐾❤️”
About: I have been trusted to watch several of my neighbors, family friends, and even teachers houses and pets. Playing, walking, and taking care of animals is one of my passions and I adapt to every personality and type of dog to make sure they are happy. I work minimal hours away from home so I will be there for most of the day every day. I work part time (usually from 4-7:30) so I will be home with your pets very frequently! On top of that, I also have full availability on weekends. I am able to walk, play, cuddle, and do anything that your pets enjoy! I am adaptable to each animal and take care of them in ways that creates a stress free, happy environment for them.
“We initially did a meet a greet a few days beforehand and all went smooth. On the day of sitting Kaitlin was punctual and ready. We received updates and photos of our Dobie pup during the sitting. All sitting instructions were followed and Kaitlin did a great job during the 10 hours she sat our pup at our house. We will use Kaitlin again and will recommend her to others.”
“Cali was amazing! Our pets love her. We will 100% be using her as our sitter whenever we go out of town. She communicated through the booking, sent pictures of our babes while we were aware and treated our home with respect. I highly recommend booking with Cali!”
“Shannon did a fantastic job caring for my two high energy dogs. She provided periodic video and pictures, and was great at communicating with me. I will certainly schedule Shannon for my future dog/house sitting.”
About: I’ve been around and taken care of pretty much any animal under the sun for all my life. I’ve had many people entrust me to care for their furry (or scaly!) babies while they were away, and I’ve loved every experience. i’m currently a college student, so I usually have time during the day to check in on your pets when I don’t have classes! Let me know how many times a day you’d like me to come see your pets and I will do my best to make it happen! I will make sure your pets get plenty of play time to get their energy out! I also know anxiety can be high among animals when their owners are gone, so I’ll be sure to shower them with affection too.
“Kathleen (Kathy) was excellent! The "boys" were well taken care of by Kathy. She was very attentive to one dog's medicines and making sure that they both went out regularly. I would definitely recommend her for your pet-sitting/house-sitting needs.”
“I was very nervous about leaving my dogs with someone that we didn't know. But Diane was literally the best! She kept me updated on everything by sending me videos and pictures. I knew after the first day they were in such great care. Diane was very curtious in my home and with my kids. I will be booking her for any future needs. I would give her more than 5 stars if possible :)”
“Sherry came to the rescue at the last minute to stay for 4 days with my pups after my dogsitter cancelled. I was unable to meet her but she graciously met my best friend to be introduced to Finn and Charlie. She played ball with them and gave them lots of snuggles as well as sent photos and stayed in communication with us while we were gone. Will be calling Sherry in the future.”
About: I have spent my entire life with animals as part of my family! My experience includes dogs of all breeds and temperaments, from the most relaxed lab to the highest energy pair of cattle dogs. I’ve now also experienced the joys of cats, with my own little kitten! I am ready to be as active or relaxed with your pet as you need. I work part time and have my 3-year-old daughter with me after school hours. I am available for drop ins regularly, and house-sitting/boarding during periods with more availability. In a client’s home, I respect the limits of where you choose to allow your pet and am happy to take dogs on walks or facilitate outdoor time as needed. I have a fenced yard in my home and keep doors to most rooms closed. My home is toddler-proof, so also largely pet proof!
About: I have over 10 years of pet sitting experience, in addition to a lifetime of caring for and raising a variety of animals. I have experience with pets of all ages, sizes, breeds, and temperaments, including senior pets and animals with special needs. I have cared for pets with blindness, deafness, mobility impairments, arthritis, paralysis, seizure disorders, diabetes, anxiety, and other medical conditions that require extra patience, attention, and specialized care. I am comfortable following detailed care instructions, administering medications, maintaining routines, and ensuring each pet feels safe, comfortable, and loved while their family is away. What sets me apart is the level of care and dedication I provide to every animal. I understand that pets are family, and I treat them as if they were my own. I prioritize safety, reliability, communication, and consistency, taking the time to build trust with each pet and accommodate their individual needs. Whether your pet needs active playtime, companionship, medication management, or gentle senior care, you can feel confident knowing they are in caring, experienced, and trustworthy hands. Pet care fits perfectly into my lifestyle as a stay-at-home mom because I am home throughout the day and able to provide pets with consistent attention, supervision, companionship, and care. My daily routine already revolves around responsibility, patience, and caregiving, allowing me to easily accommodate feeding schedules, walks, playtime, medication needs, and plenty of love and attention. I enjoy creating a safe, calm, and nurturing environment where pets feel comfortable and cared for, and I appreciate the opportunity to help families feel confident knowing their pets are in reliable and compassionate hands while they are away. I will be going to dog parks, and walking the trails that are in and near my complex. If I am coming to you we can go on walks or if you are comfortable, I can transport all fur babies to a dog park near us.
About: What sets me apart is my genuine love and patience for dogs of all ages. I have experience with puppy training, including crate training and leash skills, as well as senior dog care, such as administering medication and adjusting to slower walks. I’m reliable, attentive, and always focused on making your dog feel safe, comfortable, and loved while you’re away. Whether your pup needs structure or just snuggles, I’ve got it covered! Pet care fits perfectly into my routine. I work full-time but have Fridays and Saturdays off, which gives me plenty of time for dedicated, quality care. Even on workdays, I’m available for morning or evening visits, and I always make time to give pets the love, attention, and routine they need to feel safe and happy. I live in an apartment, so I focus on caring for pets in their own homes where they feel most comfortable. I follow each pet’s routine closely—whether that’s feeding, playtime, administering medication, or just keeping them company. I respect your space, keep things tidy, and make sure your pet feels safe, loved, and stress-free while you’re away.
“We booked Claire for house sitting with our dog and she was amazing! Would definitely recommend Claire to watch your pets. The house was just how we left it and our dog was loved on all weekend. Will definitely be booking her again!”
About: I have had dogs since I was born and I've been pet sitting since high school when neighbors and family friends needed someone. I've taken care of young and energetic puppies, dogs with medical needs, big dogs, small dogs, and everything in between. I have experience providing potty walks and playtime as well as overnight sitting for 1-2 dogs at a time. I have a special love for dogs and I look forward to being your dog's new best friend! I currently work 1-2 days at a pickleball club and am an online MBA student. I am available to take care of pups on weekdays and weekends at all times of the day! I will follow what the dog is used to for their health, safety, and trust. I can walk dogs on a leash or let them outside without one. Inside the house, I will do as the owner says for spaces the dog is able to be or in a crate. If the dog is seeming uncomfortable or unsafe at any point, I will contact the owner.
About: I've taken care of many cats and dogs from my own, family and friends', fosters, animal shelters... the list goes on. I love animals. I have an apple head chihuahua (7 years old) and 2 GSD-Malinois puppies that are 5 months old. I'm the sitter that sends consistent pictures, updates, and pays 24/7 attention to your babies. I want to be the person that puts you at ease, as I know how it feels to be worried about leaving your babies. Hoping to find furry friends for my puppies too! EVERY. DAY. My older chihuahua is very low maintenance, but my GSD-Malinois puppies are extremely needy. We're very active, outside every 2 hours at least, tennis balls, tug-o-war, treat training, dog walks, and hug and kisses time. Depends on the age, but, first and foremost, is check the floor and keep my belongings out of reach. Give the pets space and time to adjust, offer some treats, and follow your pet's lead- both in my home or yours. Everything revolves around the baby.
About: I’ve always had a natural love for animals and tend to gravitate toward the pets in any room I’m in! I grew up with both cats and dogs and have always considered them part of the family. I currently walk my own dogs daily and have experience caring for pets while their owners are away. I’ve done check ins for family members and close friends, as well as pet sitting jobs for neighbors and friends. I know how important it is to feel comfortable leaving your pets in someone else’s care. I’ll take the time to get to know your pet, follow their routine, and make sure they receive plenty of attention, care, and affection while you’re away. Your pets aren't just pets, they're family, and I’ll treat them that way! 🐶🐱 I'm currently working part time, but most of my shifts only take up half the day, which allows me plenty of free time ready to be spent with your fur babies!! I am accustomed to doing stay-over pet sitting jobs and know how to be respectful of the home. I will only go in the rooms necessary to the job and keep mostly to main living areas unless specified otherwise. I also know that all pets have different routines/eating habits and am willing to learn the best way to take of your pets!
About: I currently work with puppies. I have experience across the board with all types of pets and sizes. I have a ton of free time so i am trying to waste it on the one thing I love . ANIMALS❤️ I currently work part time so I have a ton of free time, I am free from 7 am - 11 am 5 pm till or 3 pm before. I just moved to new neighborhood so it is very quiet and I have a huge gated backyard. I also take my pup to a huge gated field that’s 1 minute from my neighborhood
“All of our babies loved Gabby! She even helped one of our bigger babies get through a few thunderstorms. ❤️ The house was neat and we knew everything would be well taken care of while we were gone.”

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 Montgomery 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 Montgomery 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 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!
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.
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 .
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 .
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.
