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!

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!

About: I've taken care of dogs and cats since I was very young. I am responsible, energetic, and great at connecting with animals. I love them all! I'm currently home in Huntsville during a winter break and have lots of flexibility while I'm here through January 9. I'll be back home for spring and longer for summer. I'd love the opportunity to care for your pets while I am back home. I make sure they get what they need to stay healthy and happy. A fun walk, with plenty of time to smell the smells and do all the things, along with playtime and cuddle/wind down time.

About: Hi, I’m Emma Johnson, and I’m here to give your pets the same love and care I give my own. My husband and I are both animal lovers, and he often helps me with visits—especially when extra hands are helpful, like with larger dogs or farm animals. We work as a team to ensure your pet receives safe, attentive, and loving care. I’ve been caring for animals since I was 8 years old, and I now have over 10 years of personal and professional experience with a wide variety of pets. I hold both the Rover 101 badge and a Verified Enhanced Background Check badge, so you can feel confident that your pet is in capable, trustworthy hands. I specialize in cats, dogs, rabbits, and farm animals, including goats, donkeys, chickens, and ducks. I grew up caring for animals on a family friend’s farm while they were away, and I’ve also worked at a pet resort at a veterinary clinic. In high school, I earned the Gold CGSP award for excellence in service and professional manners. I provide drop-in visits only, which is perfect for pets who are most comfortable in their own home. I will follow all your instructions closely to maintain your pet’s routine and reinforce any training you’ve put in place. I’m happy to provide exercise, playtime, brushing, and even bathing during visits—just let me know what your pet needs! I am committed to punctuality and reliability. I do everything I can to arrive on time or even early, unless something unavoidable like traffic or an accident occurs. Availability: • As a teacher, I am currently available for weekend and holiday visits only. • I do not offer late-night services; my latest visit time is 7:00 PM. • My schedule is very flexible on weekends, and I’m happy to work with you to find the best plan for your pet. Whether your pet needs playtime, snuggles, or just a calm, familiar routine, I’m here to help them feel safe, comfortable, and loved while you’re away. Feel free to message me with any questions—I can’t wait to meet you and your fur babies! As a teacher, I am currently available for weekend and certain holiday visits only. I use my free time to care for animals, which I truly enjoy. I only offer drop-in visits at the pet’s home, where they are most comfortable and familiar with their surroundings. I follow all care instructions closely to maintain consistency and reduce stress for your pet. I respect your home and your pet’s space, and I always aim to create a calm, safe, and positive environment during each visit. I also make sure to secure doors, gates, and any areas you’ve noted for safety. Trust is very important to me, and I treat every pet and home with the same care I give my own.

Taylor took wonderful care of our two cats while we were away, including our blind and elderly cat, Taffy. Normally when we come home, Taffy is disoriented and upset—but this time, she was totally at ease. Taylor sent us photos every day, which gave us such peace of mind. She was kind, reliable, and clearly cared for them like her own. We’re so grateful and would absolutely book again!

About: I am a college student at Auburn University looking to pet-sit over the summer. I've been pet-sitting since I was 13, and I have plenty of experience pet and house sitting. I can walk, bathe, administer medicine, and more. I work part-time teaching swim lessons, and most of my shifts are 3-4 hours long. I typically work 3 to 4 days a week with shifts between 3-5 hours. I am currently looking for a second job for the summer, but as of now, my schedule is very open. I can ensure pet safety by following client instructions, administering medications as directed, and providing regular exercise and playtime. When I house-sit, I make sure to follow basic safety rules, like locking the doors when I leave.

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.

About: I will show your animal the General love and care as I give my own! I love dogs and cats and would love to care for them when you’re unable to! I love giving lovings and napping with the animals they love cuddling in the bed together! I work full time Monday through Friday typically but am very willing to work around those hours to care for your loves! I typically am free in the evenings and can wake up earlier to take care of your babies if needed before work. I treat everyone’s home with respect. I know it is sometimes uneasy trusting someone new as some people have no respect for others and their belongings rest assured with me your house will be in the same condition you left it in!

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!

FAQs for Drop-In Visits - Owens Cross Roads

Frequently asked questions about Rover

As of June 2026, there are 675 sitters on Rover offering Dog Sitting across Owens Cross Roads. 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 Owens Cross Roads 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.

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 .

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.

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.

To find sitters in Owens Cross Roads with recurring or weekly availability, select "Repeat Weekly" and which days you’d like them to care for your pet.

Yes, you can find sitters who have experience with handling special pet needs in Owens Cross Roads. On Rover:

  • 88% of sitters can help with special care needs
  • 93% can help with giving oral medications or injections
  • 93% 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.

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.
