About: Hey y’all! I have 10+ years of experience with animals, and I love all breeds, sizes, and ages! I’m currently a stay-at-home mom, so my schedule is pretty flexible. That means I have plenty of time to love on, play with, and care for your fur babies while you’re away! We have a big, fenced backyard with a pool, so there’s plenty of room to run, play, and get all that energy out. And on those hot summer days, supervised pool time is always an option! Here’s what your fur babies can expect while staying with us: * Lots of pictures and updates! * Plenty of love, cuddles, and attention. * Playtime and exercise. * Meals kept on their normal schedule. * Medication given as needed. My goal is to make your pets feel right at home while you’re away. I want you to have peace of mind knowing they’re being loved on, well cared for, and treated just like part of our family! ❤️ I am a full time stay at home mom. I have a very flexible schedule so pet care will fit into my everyday routine perfectly! I have a big fenced in back yard with a pool.

About: My name is Alexis and I will be your pet's new best friend! I have cared for many animals in my life. I grew up on a small farm caring for chickens, cows, cats, small birds, and dogs. I've had dogs all my life as my constant companions. I've cared for friends' and family's animals while they were away. Including dogs ranging from chihuahuas to great danes and from puppies to the elderly. I've also been caring for animals professionally for about 6 years now. I've cared for hobby farms (pigs, chickens, guineas, emus, turkeys, geese, ducks, goats), dogs, cats, reptiles, fish, amphibians, and small birds. I'm always willing to take on a new experience. I will provide individual quality care to each pup and will willingly help with any extra pup related requests (Baths, brushing, and medications). I am also always available by phone if you would like to ask any questions about me or how I will help take care of your precious pet. I know that each animal is an important member of the family, and assure that I will take the best of care of your best friend. Rover does not offer rates for animals outside of cats and dogs but if you reach out I'll be happy to offer you a quote for any animal. If you have multiple animals, we can discuss their care and I'll be happy to over a quote. I'm a college student so my schedule is pretty open and flexible. Perfect for all your dog's needs! I always open and honest about my schedule and will never cancel last minute. My goal is to keep your pet happy and maintain their routine. I'll always have my eyes on your dog whether it's at home, on a walk, or at a dog park. I also strive to keep your home how you left it though if you need a few chores done I don't mind helping out.
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.

Frequently asked questions about Rover
As of November 2026, there are 248 sitters on Rover offering Dog Walking across Opelika. Enter your ZIP code to see which available sitters are closest to your home.
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 Opelika. Since all dog walkers are local, they may have a neighborhood dog who is a good walking companion to yours.
For dog walking bookings, your dog walker can send a Rover Card with details about your dog’s walk. Rover Cards require at least one photo and may include a map of the walking route, the total walk time and distance, and any pee or poop breaks recorded by the walker.
The route map lets you review where your dog was walked in Opelika after the booking. It is not live GPS tracking.
Have specific details you would like included? Message your dog walker in the app before the walk begins.
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.
Every walker 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.
Yes, you can find walkers who have experience with handling special pet needs in Opelika. On Rover:
- 90% of walkers can help with special care needs
- 94% can help with giving oral medications or injections
- 98% 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 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 Meet & Greet.
walkers on Rover set their own cancellation policy, 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.
