“Jessica was great! She sent multiple photos and shared her experiences with Orion. She also asked a lot of questions during our meeting, which shows she cares and wants to do the job well.”
“Absolutely amazing dog sitter! Kind, reliable, and attentive. Our dog was happy, well cared for, and clearly loved every minute. The regular updates gave us peace of mind while we were away. Highly recommend! 🐾 Thanks Alison !”
“I can't say enough good things about Melanie! She's been watching my rescue dog for over a year now - a dog that's terrified of everyone and everything, but warmed right up to Melanie. She takes such good care of her and provides excellent updates.”
About: I am responsible, attentive, and caring for your space and requests! As the eldest child in my family, I was always the spokesperson and main caretaker of our family pets. Since moving back home to huntsville, I’ve pet sat for multiple friends in my circle studying here. The program has completed so I am looking to branch out and offer my services to all who need a helping hand! I’m working part time as a dance teacher and taking courses online. I am available to be present with your pets and can be as accommodating as possible to even the most strict pet parents. I respond to your pets needs right away as I am available for the majority of each day. I follow feeding, walk, and other care schedules, and give them all the loving to keep them comfortable while you’re away so you don’t have to worry (:
“Peyton, went above and beyond to take care of my dog. She brought in a package, changed her plans at the last minute due to my flight change and was very sweet in all of her feedback/photos helping me feel more comfortable while out of town. I highly recommend her and am very appreciative for all that she did to help me!”
“Emmie was great with our cats when we had to leave town on short notice. She took the time to come to the house, meet them, and learn about their routine. While we were gone, she sent updates and asked questions when needed. She took the initiative (after asking if it was ok) to bring a treat to coax one of our cats to take his meds. We returned to very happy and well cared for cats!”
“Cynthia did an awesome job watching our three dogs. Communication was great, she sent lots of pictures and did exactly what we asked her to do. I highly recommend Cynthia if you need someone to watch your pups! We will definitely use her services again.”
“Taylor was so sweet and good with the dogs. She put my mind at ease each day this was my first time doing this and my experience was wonderful. Taylor is caring and very accommodating!!! All my animals were well cared for, just like I would definitely do again.”
About: I’m an animal person through and through. I’ve been around dogs since I was a little boy at the age of 5. I’ve taken care of family, neighbor, and even stray pets/animals and take pride in my ability to get on the good side of any creature. Firm believer that there is no such thing in a bad dog, only misunderstood ones. I have one dog (the handsome black lab), but sometimes have my mother in law’s two dogs over. They’re all well behaved and sociable. I work from home and typically have a lot of spare time in my day to take care of pets. I make sure to take my dog to the park everyday and see to it that he gets proper exercise and will be sure to make sure your dogs get the same. I don’t go anywhere most weekends so I’m available for boarding and anything else more or less all the time. I live in a 4 bedroom house with a big yard and sunroom so plenty of space for play. I have several parks located within ten minutes of me and walking trails nearby too so your pup will never be bored.
About: I've raised and trained many puppies, and have also taken a care of some dogs in their golden years. I'll take care of yours like they're my own. I'm currently just going to school so I'll have plenty of time for your fur babies! I've done everything from bottle feed puppies to take care of cats and dogs in their senior years. I will follow your instructions and also hang out with your animals to help them feel less lonely being home alone while their family is gone and just try to keep things as normal as possible:)
About: I’ve taken care of all kinds of dogs since I was a teenager. I grew up around labs, Golden’s, pit bulls, and Pomeranians. I currently have a boxer malanois mix. :) I work Monday - Friday from 7:45-3:00, however I work right down the street from my home and have the luxury of stepping out when I need to! I am currently not ready to house other pets but will update when I can :) I prefer to drop in and hang with your pets in the comfort of their own home.
“Daisy has taken care of our fur babies for us on two different vacations. It is so nice to be able to leave them in our home and have them not be stressed and exhausted from boarding. Daisy does a great job!”
“Bobby did a fantastic job dropping in to take care of our two German Shepherds. We used him for 3 days total and he dropped in as requested. He came an extra time just to make sure they were well taken care of and were able to use the bathroom. We will be using Bobby going forward for all our needs as long as he is available and will have us. When he came to drop off the garage door opener, the two of them went sprinting for him. They were barking in a high playful pitch because they loved him so much. Highly recommend!!!”
About: I have experience caring for dogs of different sizes and breeds. I am comfortable following feeding schedules and administering oral medications. I can recognize signs of stress, illness, or discomfort and respond appropriately. I also have basic knowledge of pet first aid. I currently work full-time as a meat cutter, and my average workday is about 9 hours with a 1-hour lunch break. If you’re close enough, I’d be happy to stop by during my lunch to check on and care for your fur baby. I love the outdoors, especially hiking and fishing. I’m a laid-back, dependable guy who enjoys connecting with all kinds of animals, and I’ll treat your pets with the same care and attention I’d give my own. I can carefully follow your instructions, including feeding schedules and medication routines, to ensure your pet receives the care they’re used to. I will treat your fur babies like royalty, giving them the love, attention, and care they deserve while you’re away.
About: What sets me apart from other sitters is my background in healthcare and my natural attention to detail. As a nursing student and soon-to-be hospital worker, I’m very experienced in providing attentive, compassionate care — which easily carries over to how I care for pets. I’m patient, reliable, and comfortable following detailed care instructions, including administering medications if needed. I also have experience with both young, energetic pets and senior pets who may need a little extra gentleness and support. I genuinely love building a bond with every animal I care for, treating them like family while keeping their safety, happiness, and well-being my top priority. Pet care fits naturally into my daily and weekly routine because I truly enjoy spending time with animals. I am a nursing student who will be starting a hospital job on May 12, working from 3 PM to 11:30 PM. Until then, I have open availability to care for pets. Even after I begin work, I’ll be available during mornings, early afternoons, and late nights for check-ins, walks, and pet sitting. I start classes on May 27, but I only have one in-person class from 12–1 PM on Tuesdays and Thursdays, leaving plenty of time to dedicate to caring for pets. I’m responsible, nurturing, and attentive—qualities that come naturally from my healthcare background—and I will treat your pets like they are my own. When caring for pets in my home or a client’s home, I make sure to follow any specific instructions provided by the owner, including feeding schedules, walk times, medication administration, and any special routines or preferences. I pay close attention to each pet’s behavior to make sure they are happy, comfortable, and safe. I also love giving pets plenty of playtime, affection, and exercise based on their energy level. Cleanliness and safety are important to me, so I always make sure their space stays clean, and I update owners regularly with messages and photos for peace of mind. With my nursing background, I’m very detail-oriented and comfortable providing extra care if needed.
“Cassandra was awesome dropping in for home visits with our two big and energetic dogs for a long weekend. We always have a little anxiety leaving them at home for more than a day, but Cassandra took such good care of them and kept us updated with pictures during each visit. We really appreciated the constant communication and will definitely choose Cassandra to take care of our dogs in the future.”

Megan is the best Rover! I always feel great knowing she is taking care of my pups while I’m away! She is so amazing with our dogs! We have an older 75lb pit mix and a 35 lb frenchie, and she manages them so well even when we have special requests like medications! She communicates very well, and always sends the best pictures! I can’t recommend her enough!

Whether you’re at the office for the day or traveling for a few nights, a pet sitter can offer potty breaks during a Owens Cross Roads stroll, cleaning the litter box, or making sure your pet has on-time food or water refills.

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 Owens Cross Roads 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 .

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.

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.
