About: I have extensive experience in both animal welfare and veterinary clinic settings, giving me a strong foundation in pet care, behavior, and health. I’m comfortable with dogs and cats of all sizes, ages, and temperaments, from high-energy puppies to seniors and pets needing extra patience or structure. I also graduated from Auburn in 2017 with a degree in animal sciences Through my work, I’ve gained hands-on experience with safe handling, administering medications (oral, transdermal, subcutaneous and intramuscular injections, etc), recognizing signs of stress or illness, and supporting pets in new or unfamiliar environments. I’m calm, reliable, and very detail-oriented, and I take pride in keeping pets safe, comfortable, and on their normal routine while you’re away. I have a flexible schedule and work from home full time that allows me to prioritize pet care throughout the day. I’m available for drop-ins and walks, and I can accommodate morning, midday, and evening routines with boarding animals. I’m happy to adjust to your pet’s normal schedule to keep things consistent and low-stress. With my background in animal welfare and veterinary clinics, safety is always my top priority. I’m experienced in reading body language, handling pets safely, and recognizing early signs of stress or illness. In your home and mine, I make sure routines are followed closely and your pet stays comfortable in their environment. I’m respectful of your space, detail-oriented, and always prioritize clear communication so you feel confident while you’re away.

Allison is by far the best sitter I’ve had for my sweet pup, Uno! She took Uno to the park every day, on long walks, spent a lot of play time with him, and sent me so more adorable photos and videos. I truly felt so comfortable leaving my pup with her knowing that she was taking care of him like he was her own. Uno had so much fun with her dog, Charlie, and was so tired after each of their adventures! I will definitely be booking with Allison in the future!

About: Our entire family loves to care for animals! I personally have been a responsible pet sitter for over 25 years. While we currently are a pet free home, we have been thankful to have owned and cared for a black lab, yorkie poo (lived until 15), two German Shepards (currently guard dogs in Haiti), rabbits and many goats. While your pet is with me you will receive multiple updates and feel secure in the fact that they are being loved and taken care of just as you would! I would love the privilege to care for your beloved dog while you are away! I am a stay at home homeschool mom and have the ability to care for your animal all day. It is so fun to incorporate dog walks and playtime with your animals in my daily schedule. I can easily crate your fur baby, or they can sleep in a comfy dog bed. We have a large yard, with a small portion fenced. Since we are a homeschool family, we spend a lot of time out doors and I love to take dogs for walks and let them join us outside if that is what your fur baby enjoys. If you need help with drop in services at your own home, I can arrange those services to meet your dogs needs.

About: I’m a life long animal lover and have had the opportunity to care for my friends, family, and neighbor’s pets for years whether it was daily check-ins or caring for them while owners were away. I personally can’t remember a time in my life when I didn’t have a pet of my own and would love the opportunity to care for yours. I currently work from home with the flexibility for long walks, play time, and lots of cuddles. There really isn’t a day or time I couldn’t be available. I have a fenced in yard, a great neighborhood for walks, two pet loving kids and a sweet dog of my own to provide your fur baby companionship during their stay.

About: I love dogs! I have had a dog my entire life (two black labs, one golden lab) but have moved away from home back in Boston, MA for graduate school at Auburn. I love hanging around dogs so this service is honestly more of a treat for me than the dogs who might need someone. During undergrad I dog sat for multiple dogs through friend and family connections. I am much more flexible than the average full-time worker nowadays. I am working in Auburn's athletic department while taking classes and love to study and relax next to my dogs, but I'd love to do the same with yours. As a graduate student, I have a flexible schedule that allows me to plan my coursework and athletic department responsibilities around pet care. I typically have blocks of time during the day and evening that I can dedicate to walking, feeding, and spending quality time with pets. I’m dependable, communicative, and can adjust my availability based on each pet’s specific needs. I am keen on following any instructions given. I am more than happy to help your pets exercise and get outside. I make sure pets get plenty of attention, playtime, and potty breaks. In a client’s home, I treat the space with respect and keep everything tidy. Communication is key, so I also can send updates and photos so pet parents feel confident and connected while they're away.

About: Fun, caring, and full of life—with a calm side too! I’m always up for walks, park visits, or anything you have in mind. I’m here to make things easy for you and can’t wait to meet you! I’m currently in graduate school at Baylor University Online. I will eventually get a part time job, but pretty flexible for fitting in pet care into my daily routine! I am very attentive, take them on walks, provide mental stimulation by playing with toys, as well as stick to their routine when taught—regarding medication, feeding, etc.

About: I’ve always loved animals and originally wanted to become a veterinarian growing up. Now, as a pre-nursing student at AU, I still love having the opportunity to care for others — especially animals. I grew up with a childhood dog that I was completely inseparable from. Even when I was little, I helped feed her, walk her, play with her, and even helped with training. Those experiences are a huge part of why I love pet care so much today. My family now has two dogs that we got while I was in high school, and I love visiting them every chance I get. I’m definitely the type of person who immediately gravitates toward the dog at any social gathering. I’ve been pet sitting and dog walking for friends, family, and neighbors since I was around 10 years old, and even more frequently once I started driving at 16. I’m very attentive to each pet’s individual needs, whether that means going on runs with high-energy dogs or taking slower walks and giving extra comfort and attention to more relaxed pets. My goal is always to make pets feel safe, happy, and so loved while their owners are away. I also worked on a ranch last summer where I cared for dogs, cats, horses, donkeys, chickens, and ducks, which gave me even more hands-on experience with a wide variety of animals and personalities. Although I didn’t grow up with cats, I’ve done plenty of cat sitting over the years and absolutely love them as well. I know every cat is different, and I’m always patient and attentive to their routines and comfort level. Pet care fits very naturally into my daily routine. I work a 9–5 job during the week, but I have an hour lunch break that gives me flexibility for walks, check-ins, or midday care. I also usually go on a run in the mornings and take walks after work or after dinner, so I’m very used to staying active and would love bringing a dog along if they enjoy extra exercise. On weekends, I’m available all day and have a much more flexible schedule for walks, drop-ins, playtime, or overnight care. I live in a two-level apartment/townhouse with plenty of space for pets to be comfortable and move around. There’s grass right outside for easy bathroom breaks and walks, plus a balcony and a dog park within my apartment complex for extra exercise and playtime. I keep a clean, safe, and calm environment and always make sure pets are supervised, comfortable, and sticking to their normal routines as much as possible. When caring for pets in a client’s home, I’m very respectful of both the home and the pet’s routine. I know consistency is important for animals, so I always try to keep them comfortable by following feeding schedules, walk routines, and any specific instructions closely.

About: I’ve had experience with dogs since I was 8 starting with my first ever dog Cupcake. Since then I have taken care of dogs of all sizes for neighbors and friends. I am very good with senior dogs, and energetic puppies alike! I love to learn how each dog’s personality shines. I am currently taking online college courses for the summer. My classes being online gives me a lot of flexibility in my schedule, so I am willing to work out times with people on an individual basis! I take a lot of care to be respectful of people’s homes when caring for their animals. I fulfill each task the pet needs with care and give each pet the time and attention they need.

Frequently asked questions about Rover

The average cost for Dog Sitting in Opelika on Rover is $17.76 per visit (as of July 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 July 2026, there are 573 sitters on Rover offering Dog Sitting across Opelika. 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 Opelika 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 Opelika 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 Opelika 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 with handling special pet needs in Opelika. On Rover:

  • 97% of sitters can help with special care needs
  • 100% can help with giving oral medications or injections
  • 100% can help with daily exercise

You can also find pet sitters on Rover who accept only one pet at a time, which is ideal for anxious puppies, kittens, 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 use the 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.
