“Megan was wonderful with our cat Drake while we were away! She not only took great care feeding him she also played with him each day. She sent us such cute pictures of them playing every day! The only downside is I’m afraid he may be disappointed it’s us that comes home each day now and not her😂 We will definitely be getting her to come take care of him next time we are out of town.”

About: I have had dogs and cats my whole life. I love animals so much they are family, I have a golden retriever and a great Bernice mountain dog. I am good with big and small dogs. I also have owned cats and know how to take care of them! I know how to walk, bath, feed, and make animals feel safe and loved. I am a student at the university of Alabama. I have class from 9 to 1 but after that I am free. I can also go before class and on the weekends I am available! Animals are so important so I would make time to let them out walk and take care of with my class schedule. I can play with dogs in the yard or in the house. Go on long or short walks based on the weather. Keep them company so they don’t feel alone and make sure they feel loved and cared for at their home.

About: I’ve lived with dogs my whole life. I have had 3 golden doodles throughout my life, and my brother currently has a puppy that I help care for. I currently have two dogs at home and they are my best friends! I have also dog sat a good bit for dogs of all sizes. I am missing my dogs at college and would love to care for your dogs! I am a student at the University of Alabama, with classes from 11-3 Monday-Thursday. I am able to care for your pets most of the time outside of that window, including in the morning. I live in a house with three friends who are also big dog people. I am also able to drive to your house and provide care to your dogs there. I am flexible with timing and can make multiple visits a day.

About: I've been around dogs for as long as I can remember — I got my first dog at six years old and have been caring for pets ever since. In college, I brought a dog into my own life, which taught me even more about responsibility, routine, and the importance of creating a safe and loving environment I’m available any time during the week and weekends! I would love to drop in to make sure your dogs okay or take them on a walk if needed! I have a fenced yard that my dog happily runs around at my home! I will do everything I can to ensure the safety for your pet!

About: Hi, I’m Madison! I’m a very experienced and reliable pet sitter with a genuine love for animals of all kinds. I foster dogs regularly from the local shelter, which has given me hands-on experience with different breeds, personalities, and special needs. I also participate in Metro’s dog happy hours, consistently taking dogs on walks and helping them build confidence and social skills. I understand how important it is to trust someone with your pet, and I treat every animal as if they were my own — with patience, attention, safety, and lots of love. 🐾💕 I currently babysit two little girls on weekday afternoons. I pick them up from the bus at 2:30 PM and care for them until 5:30 PM. During that time, I’m still able to do check-ins, drop-ins, walks, and care visits for pets if needed. I’m flexible, organized, and good at managing my time to make sure every pet gets the attention and care they deserve. In my home, pets have plenty of space to feel comfortable and relaxed. I have a large backyard with lots of room to roam, explore, and play safely. I make sure they get regular potty breaks, exercise, fresh water, and lots of attention. I follow feeding schedules carefully and keep a close eye on behavior to make sure they’re happy and healthy. When caring for pets in a client’s home, I respect their routine and environment. I stick to their normal schedule for feeding, walks, medications (if needed), and playtime to help them feel secure and stress-free. I also provide updates and pictures so you can feel confident your pet is safe, loved, and well cared for while you’re away.

About: I’m a caring, dependable, and attentive pet sitter who will treat your pets like they’re my own. I have experience caring for dogs of different ages and personalities, and I’m comfortable with feeding, walks, playtime, basic routines, and giving them plenty of love and attention. I understand that every dog has their own needs, so I’ll make sure to follow your instructions and keep their normal routine as much as possible. I’ll also keep you updated while you’re away so you can feel comfortable knowing your pet is happy, safe, and well cared for! Pet care fits easily into my routine because I have a flexible schedule and plenty of time to give each pet the attention they deserve. I can make time for walks, feeding, playtime, potty breaks, and lots of love throughout the day. I’m also available during the week and on weekends and will always make sure your pet’s normal routine is followed. I do have classes Monday-Thursday but they are short. Your pet’s safety and comfort are always my top priorities. I carefully follow all instructions provided by the owner, including feeding schedules, walking routines, medications, and any special needs. When caring for pets in a client’s home, I’m respectful of their space and make sure their pet feels comfortable and secure in their familiar environment. I’ll also provide updates and pictures so you can feel at ease while your pet is in my care.

About: I’ve taken care of dogs of all different sizes and personalities throughout my life, especially the last 6 years. Back home I have three dogs, including 2 Labrador retrievers and a chihuahua mix rescue. I used to dog sit for my neighbors every few months, typically for a week at a time. Now that I am at college at UA, I miss constantly being around dogs and I hope to fill that missing piece through Rover! I am great about exercising, feeding on time, and potty breaks. If you have any more questions feel free to ask! I’m currently working part-time, but will have plenty of time to check in on your pups :) My schedule is usually completely free during the day up until 4pm. I also get breaks at work and can stop in to let your furbaby out! I currently live in a spacious apartment with two of my best friends that also love dogs. We have a fenced-in dog park right next to our unit! It takes less than a minute walk from my door to the park.

About: Hi! I am a 24 year old in Tuscaloosa and I would love to care for your pet! I have experience with both big and small dogs along with cats. I spent over a year working at TROT doing equine-assisted therapy and helping care for the horses on their property. I am comfortable administering medicine as I have had a diabetic dog and currently have a special-needs dog myself. I have also shadowed in a veterinarian's office for six months and have volunteered in animal shelters since middle school. I work six hours a day, but my hours are flexible so I am able to work around your pet needs. I have my own dog and cat to care for, but my flexible schedule allows me to easily work with your pets schedule. I can not care for pets in my home as I have my own dog-reactive dog, but cats can be kept in my second bedroom as both my dog and cat have had experience with having foster cats through the apartment.

About: Caring for animals has always been a big part of my life. I grew up surrounded by pets and have hands-on experience caring for animals of all ages, from playful kittens and energetic puppies to senior dogs needing gentle care. I am comfortable managing pets with different energy levels, whether it is going on long hikes, playing active games indoors, or taking quiet walks. You can trust me to provide a safe, loving, and attentive environment for your cats and dogs. I currently work full time as a nurse Monday-Wednesday 12 hour shifts & am off Thurs-Sunday! So Thurs-Sunday I am free anytime to come stop by to walk your pet or just stop by to make sure your pets are good. This is just a fun side job since I just moved to Tuscaloosa & am not a student - so don’t have a lot going on. I am confident that I am a responsible & respectful person especially when it comes to your home & your pets. I am great with communication, following instructions, and providing the attention your pet deserves. I loveeee animals so much so I will 100% act as if they are my own. I want to provide a peace of mind for you when it comes to your pets!

“Leah did such an amazing job watching out two cats while we were out of town! She was always on time, followed our instructions perfectly, and went above and beyond to make sure our boys were well taken care of! As someone who worries about leaving my pets at home alone, Leah’s daily updates were exactly what I needed for peace of mind. I would 100% recommend her for anyone looking for a great pet sitter!”

Mary Paige was great. We had some issues in the beginning because another person ghosted me so I was not able to introduce Millie to Mary Paige in person. Millie was a bit spooked because she did not know Mary Paige beforehand, but Mary Paige did an amazing job and I was able to finish my trip without worrying one bit. I would definitely use Mary Paige again!

Anna was very sweet and patient with our three animals. One dog was a bit hesitant the first day but Anna was incredibly patient and got the dog to love her. She stayed to play with the dogs even if it went over the 30 mins that we paid for. The pictures she sent were adorable and we will definitely use her for our next trip.

FAQs for Dog Sitting - Northport

Frequently asked questions about Rover

The average cost for Dog Sitting in Northport on Rover is $16.65 per visit (as of September 2026). However, all sitters set their own rates based on experience, location, and availability.

Rover makes budgeting the cost of Dog Sitting easy. As long as your dates and pet profiles are correct, the price you see before you book is the same price you pay for Dog Sitting. For more information on service fees, click here .

As of September 2026, there are 226 sitters on Rover offering Dog Sitting across Northport. Enter your ZIP code to see which available sitters are closest to your home.

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 Northport 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 Northport 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 .

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.

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 Northport with recurring or weekly availability, select "Repeat Weekly" and which days you’d like them to care for your pet.

Yes, you can find sitters who have experience administering medication or managing dietary requirements. You can also find pet sitters who accept only one pet at a time, which is ideal for anxious puppies 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 request a Meet & Greet to walk your sitter through your expectations.

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.
