“Anna took very good care of my cat for a week and even kept my outdoor planter garden from wilting during a heat wave. Although shy at first, my cat clearly warmed up to Anna after a few days and seemed calm and content when I returned. Anna has my recommendation!”
“Linda went above and beyond in making sure Groot was comfortable and keeping us updated while we were out of town on our honeymoon. We would recommend Linda’s services to anyone and hope to use her again in the future!”
“Kristen did an amazing job taking care of my cat while I was away. She sent daily updates and photos, and I always felt confident that my cat was in great hands. She was reliable, caring, and communicative throughout the entire week. I highly recommend her to anyone looking for a wonderful pet sitter!”
“Abigail did a wonderful job with my pup, Maple, and my two cats! She catered to their every need. Would definitely recommend Abigail! Cannot thank her enough for covering over the 4th of July weekend!”
“Fantastic service ! Allison is always very thorough with her sessions , always punctual , and always puts my mind at ease over the well-being of my little fur babies . I will absolutely be requesting her again during any of my travels .”
About: Growing up, our neighbors on our street all had animals that they would trust my family with taking care of while they were gone. Being older now, I still have the same love of taking care of animals whether it is my own dog and cat or other people’s! I understand how important it is to have someone trustworthy look after such an important part of your family and would love to be that person!! I’m a teacher so I get off work fairly early and have weekends off to help others who need it! Whether that is letting them out, taking them for a walk or feedings! I know animals prefer their own environment and would love to create a safe and trusting experience for them right inside your home to make them as comfortable as possible!
“Taylor kept us well informed during her visits. The Dogs absolutely loved her. I could definitely tell thru her daily pictures! We were able to enjoy our trip with no worries knowing the dogs were in great hands!!”
“Kim did a great job taking care of my cats while I was away. She is very communicative and sends lots of pictures letting you know that your babies are okay! I felt completely at ease while on vacation knowing that Kim was watching after my kitties.”
“I can’t recommend Kaitlyn enough! She took the time to come meet our puppy, Draco, before our booked drop-in, worked us around her schedule without hesitation, and even stayed extra time to make sure our pup was happy and got some additional play time while we were gone. Wonderful sitter we will absolutely use again!”
“Anthony went above and beyond for my dog while I was away. He made sure to get him good exercise in while doing drop in visits and my dog was very happy to see him every time. 10/10”
About: I have grown up with dogs my entire life — all 24 years of it. From the moment I was old enough to pick up a food bowl, I was right there helping to care for them. That means over two decades of feeding, walking, playing, and loving dogs of all shapes and sizes. For me, caring for dogs isn’t just a job — it’s second nature. During the day I work, but I have the flexibility to step away and check in on any pets in my care. Evenings are generally when I’m most available, so your pet will have plenty of attention and company after hours. I treat every pet in my care like they’re my own family dog. Your pet won’t just be looked after — they’ll be loved, spoiled, and made to feel right at home.
“Kailyn was awesome! She was very attentive and loving with my two cats. She sent pictures every day and was very prompt and thorough. She was easy to work with and responded quickly to every message. I will definitely be using her again. Highly recommend.”
“Not only has Regan taken excellent care of our dogs during multiple visits (drop-in, as well as house sitting), but when one of our dogs became ill through no fault of his own, he stayed with her past his designated departure time until someone could come pick her up and take her to the emergency vet. I can not recommend him highly enough.”
“Highly recommend Diane to care for & love on your furry friends! Diane was timely in her responses, kind, and considerate, but the best part in my opinion was her detailed “report card” of my sweet pup after each visit. The pictures & updates that I got from Diane put my mind at ease while being out of town. Big thank you to Diane!”
“It was our first time using Rover and Tasi was absolutely wonderful. She was prompt in answering my last minute request and timely on arriving to drop-in on our Bruno. He looked so happy in the photos and I’m sure he loved having the company. Thanks Tasi!”

Pet parents share their Rover experiences - Opelika
Kept my pup fed, exercised, and happy all week! And my dog is kind of a pain lol so was very impressed that Emily was able to pop in all week long to keep our big man happy without trouble. Definitely recommend -- we plan to use her again in the future ourselves
Samantha was absolutely amazing!! she went above and beyond to take the best care of our cat Laddy! She spent extensive time loving on him and actually playing with him on her visits and even went the extra mile to brush him both days and scooped his box. I also really enjoyed getting photos and the fun little report card every day. We will absolutely be rebooking!! one of the best Rover experiences we have ever had! It was such a good feeling to come home today and know that Laddy has been in such good hands.

Frequently asked questions about Rover
The average cost for Pet 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 Pet 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 Pet Sitting. For more information on service fees, click here .
As of July 2026, there are 582 sitters on Rover offering Pet 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.
If you would like updates while you’re away, you can discuss with your sitter how many or how frequent you’d like those updates to be. The Rover app allows sitters to send photos, videos, and messages about your pet, including how many pee or poop breaks occurred. You can message your sitter at any time through the app and our support team is available 24/7 by email or chat if you have concerns.
The personalized, in-home nature of pet care through Rover can mean more individual attention for your pet.
Many pet parents provide a spare key or arrange a lockbox. You can also exchange keys during the Meet & Greet and show your walker how to use digital fobs or personalized codes. It helps to arrange access to your home, from spare keys to concierge introductions, before pet care begins.
If you live in an apartment or condo, don’t forget to discuss details like buzzer access, codes, or elevator etiquette. These details can help a pet sitter feel more comfortable going in and out of your building.
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.
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.
A Meet & Greet is a short introductory meeting between you, your pet, 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.
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.
