About: I’ve taken care of both dogs and cats throughout my life from watching my friends pets, working as a veterinary assistant, and even taking care of horses! I’m currently living at home after doing an internship, so I’m doing pet sitting while I’m job hunting! That means I have plenty of time to give your pets all the love and attention in the world:) I am super adaptable and base each visit on each individual pet’s personality and needs! I have experience with all levels of activity for dogs and cats, so I am good at reading what each individual likes. I was a trained veterinary assistant at one point in time, so I have experience giving medication and looking out for any health concerns!
“Sarah is amazing! She was so communicative and understanding, and took a great job giving Pearl exactly what she needed for her walks. Will definitely be booking Sarah again :)”

About: I have taken care of cats and dogs since I was younger and growing up as a child about 11 years old. Neighbors and friends relied on me to take care of their dogs or cats even fish, turtles, bird, guinea pigs, hamsters. From 2-6 only had up to 2 dogs when it came to overnight. I work mainly during the daytime and go to work until 2pm and go in at 8am and I will be able to work with my daughters schedule. I have 3 cats and they are strictly indoors. And if it's another cat I will have it separate in beginning depending on how long he or she is staying and dogs will be separated unless know ahead of time that they are friendly with cats. I feed them all at 6:40am clean litter boxes. And if I am off work I will do it again at 11 or 12 then again around 6pm dinner time. If it is just dog walking or cat sitting at clients home I will figure it out to where it works with my schedule.

Whether you want a solo or group walk depends on your dog's personality. Solo walks can be beneficial for dog parents with reactive dogs, puppies, or dogs who are anxious around unfamiliar animals. Many dog walkers on Rover offer private, one-on-one walking services.
Group walks are a good fit for social dogs who enjoy structured walks. If your dog prefers the energy of a group stroll, ask your dog walker about group walks in your Opelika. Since all dog walkers are local, they may have a neighborhood dog who is a good walking companion to yours.

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 walker 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 walker 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 walker for longer stays or first-time bookings. Read our tips for your first .
walkers on Rover set their own , 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 walker.
