“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 .”
“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!”
About: I’ve had animals around the house my entire life, and I’ve been trusted to petsit and housesit for friends and neighbors since I was a teenager. I have two cats of my own, but I regularly care for others’ pets as well. This summer I have most of the week free, and evenings T/W/Th by request! I love all animals, no matter the energy level! Whether they need to play ‘til they drop, or just want to curl up and sit beside you, I’m happy to accommodate.
About: I have had pets my whole life! cats, bunnies ,dogs ,mice ,chicken. I love animals and will love yours as I do mine! (which is a lot!!) right now I am a collage student working once a week at the hospital. and classes only Tuesdays and Thursdays so I have plenty of free time. for house sitting i have a lovely 5 month old doodle that loves all animals and is available to play if wanted and if not that’s okays to. i love to go on walks to just chill and snuggle anything that your pet needs or likes to do!
About: I would love to take care of your fur babies. I am also a college athlete so I can play and run around with your dogs outside. I am just a student so the only thing that I would have each day would be class. I have made my schedule to where I do not have a lot of classes each day and my classes end early. I do not have my family dog with me so I will treat every animal that I sit like my own. I am very energetic so I will make sure the dogs that I sit will get the exercise they need.
About: I've loved dogs my entire life and have experience caring for dogs of different sizes, ages, and energy levels. Whether your dog enjoys long walks, playtime, or simply having company throughout the day, I'm committed to making sure they feel comfortable, safe, and well cared for while you're away. I understand that every dog has their own personality and routine, so I take the time to follow your instructions and provide the care that works best for them. I'll treat your dog with the same attention, patience, and kindness that I would give my own pet, and I'll keep you updated so you can have peace of mind while they're in my care! I am currently in grad school at Auburn University, working towards my CPA. I am available on weekdays from 10 am-12:30 pm and again after 3 pm. My weekends are very flexible and I am free at any time! When caring for pets in a client's home, I prioritize maintaining their normal routine so they feel comfortable and secure while their owner is away. I carefully follow feeding schedules, walking routines, medication instructions, and any other specific care requests. I make sure pets receive plenty of attention, exercise, playtime, and companionship based on their individual needs and personality. I also respect my clients' homes by keeping everything clean, secure, and exactly as I found it. Communication is important to me, so I provide regular updates and photos to give owners peace of mind while they're away.
About: I’ve grown up with two dogs and have lived with both a small and a big dog. I’ve dog sat for my neighbors growing up. I’ve watch all kinds of dogs and have no problems with watching more than one dog in a household. I also have experience with both young and old dogs, so I know the different attentions each type needs. I am currently taking a summer class at Auburn University and I would love to spend my time watching a dog when not in my class. Over the summer I will be in Auburn taking one class at 8am on Mondays, Wednesdays, and Fridays. Outside of that I will be free to watch dogs. I’ve had two dogs growing up, one was always super active and loved walks the other loved belly rubs and staying in doors. I’m good with either type of dog. I’ve also dog sat for many different breeds of dogs so I’m good with all types.
“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!”

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.

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.

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 .

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.
