“I love that I never have to worry about my buddy when Sarah is with him. This particular visit she went above and beyond to make sure he got his potty breaks during a stormy weekend.”
“Devin is so great! She is very responsive and takes great care of your pets. Left our home super clean and spent quality time with our golden over the holidays! Definitely recommend.”
“Don't hesitate! Book Saraelizabeth to care for your pets and your house. We traveled abroad for two weeks and left behind four of our own cats, one feral cat that we feed regularly, and a yard full of high maintenance plants. We asked her to stay in our home for the duration of our trip, and we came home to perfectly happy and healthy cats, a yard that is thriving, and an immaculately clean house, which was totally unnecessary for her to clean but she insisted that she was "brought up to leave things the way she found them." Saraelizabeth is extremely responsible and capable, and she was skilled at connecting with our cats who are typically very shy with strangers. She was continuously communicative and exercised excellent judgement on managing our pets, who are used to being indoor-outdoor. The peace of mind her thoughtful, conscientious, diligent service she gave us was priceless. I recommend her without reservations.”
“She was very good with communicating to me how my dog was doing with daily activities and pictures. House was clean and tidy. Good care for my dog. Recommend using her!”
“Absolutely amazing. My doggos were in the absolute best hands! She went up and beyond with my babies and updates so frequently! She is so kind and responds so quickly. They had the time of their lives with her and I will definitely continue to use her!!”
“Peter was exceptional. Right before we left one of the dogs was diagnosed with cancer and he went above and beyond to give us updates and deal with issues. Could not have asked for better service or responsiveness. Think the dogs wanted to leave with him”
“Margaret was amazing with our two bernadoddles. She was communicative and sent tons of pictures . She made sure to get walks in early during a summer heatwave and took amazing care of the pups. Additionally, she stayed at the house and everything was left in clean condition when we came back. We will be using Margaret again!”
“Ashley communicated well throughout the week. She cared for our pets as her own and took excellent care of our home. Will continue to recommend. We came home to happy pups!”
“Jessica is a caring and reliable sitter for us when we are out of town. She stays in contact with me as often as I send her messages and she kindly sends photos throughout the day. We will continue to book her services and we are thankful we met her.”
“Kayla was great— very communicative, professional, the type of person who you trust will take good care of your pup. We had travel issues crop up while Kayla was slated to take care of our dog & she just rolled with it. We would be happy to work with her again!”
“Hannah took the best care of our girls while we were away this weekend and made sure to send updates each day! It was so great to not have to worry about the pups being taken care of while we were away. Thanks for loving on our babies, Hannah - we can’t wait to use you again next time we are away!”
“Tiffany has been dog sitting for me for a minute. I have two large dogs with lots of energy! She provides frequent updates and I can tell she really loves my boys. She goes up and beyond and we absolutely love her!”
“Honestly, I’m almost annoyed that I have to leave such a good review because now everyone is going to know how amazing she is, and I’d really prefer to keep her all to myself. She was absolutely wonderful with all of our animals. She was incredibly reliable, communicative, and easy to work with from start to finish. She sent us lots of photos and updates, and she always let us know right away if something unexpected happened or something broke. That kind of communication made it so much easier to relax while we were away. She also tidied the house up upon our return, which was very considerate after a long trip. She followed all of our instructions perfectly, was so easy to talk to and plan with, and clearly genuinely loves animals. And the biggest endorsement of all: our animals absolutely adored her. They were happy and comfortable when we got home, which is everything I could ask for in a sitter. I will 100% book her again.”
“Took great care of the doggos! She communicated well and kept us updated. Was great with both dogs and did great taking care of our older dog when she got a cut. Has a way of getting them to pose for pictures we can't figure out. Would recommend!!”
“Ian dog-sat and house-sat for us for a pretty long vacation. Our dog had shown signs of anxiety the last few times we went out of town and came back. This time with Ian, he seemed perfectly ok and happy. Ian seemed to handle our dog's meds fine, and our house was just the way we left it. Definitely would use Ian again.”
About: I provide pet-sitting in your own home, and can also do dog walking. Pet-sitting can include bathing and light grooming. I am comfortable with all ages and breeds of dogs, and have experience with a full range of each. I am experienced with many types of behaviors within dogs, and can offer basic training as needed. I have a passion for animals! I have grown up with many different types animals; dogs, cats, rabbits, hamsters, fish, and lizards. I’ve also have had lots of experience with farm animals such as horses, goats, pigs, chickens, and ducks. I have been professionally pet-sitting since I was a teenager, and have been on Rover for the last 5+ years. I love all of the sweet pets I’ve been able to work with! My current availability is mornings and evenings M-F, and all day weekends. My schedule does get filled quickly, but if given enough notice I should have flexibility! I work full-time, but I still have times during the week that I devote to my pets and yours. I make sure that each animal tended gets adequate exercise, attention, and even training as needed. I currently don’t offer in-house boarding at this time, but I often do house visits and dog walking. I have lots of experience and devote a lot of time ensuring that each person I work with is comfortable and feels safe with me in their home and/or with their pets. I have a set system that also ensures the safety of information such as addresses, keys, etc. so that it will never become a concern. I also take LOTS of photos and videos each time I visit, so that each client I work with can guarantee I do everything correctly and am being as safe as I can with their fur-babies:)

Hannah was fantastic. She was a great communicator and really made sure she understood my cats instincts visual needs. She was super easy to work with and took great care of them. One of my cats is very skittish but she managed to have great interaction with both. She was a delight and I highly recommend!
Brookelynn did an excellent job caring for our pets and our home while we were away! I am so grateful for the patience she had with our little crew of animals and staying overnight to keep our nervous pup company. She is very prompt with communication and sent us updates throughout the stay.

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 Mountain Brook 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 Mountain Brook 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 Mountain Brook 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.
