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 (:
“Melanie was absolutely lovely to work with - very sweet with my highly anxious rescue dog, taking the time to make friends with her. Melanie also sent lots of photos and even went above and beyond by doing little extras around the house. I was worried about having a new person look after my dog but after meeting Melanie, I felt so much better about it. I travel a lot for work and am already rebooking her again!”

“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 !”

“Taylor is wonderful with our pet family. She won over my very shy and scared Sheltie in an instant. She is very caring and helpful if we needed anything. I highly recommend Taylor!”

“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!”

I make sure pets feel secure in their familiar space while keeping everything tidy and respecting your home.

“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!!!”

“Jen is the best! It was so nice knowing that our one cat would get her medicine everyday and all 5 cats were able to stay home in their own surroundings. We loved reading the daily updates and seeing the pictures. Definitely the best decision we made and Jen was the perfect choice! No worries while we were gone with Jen, who we refer to as the ‘cat whisperer’.”

About: I have had animals of all kind since a young age. Cats, dogs, and even farm animals. My dogs get taken on walks regularly to keep them socialized. We open the doors for the cats to sit outside on the front porch to enjoy the fresh air. Everyone gets regular vet visits to make sure everything is in order and for their flea and other medicines. If i could spend my whole paycheck on them I so would, they are my babies..... I have before. for the summer I can fit you into my schedule any time between Monday-Friday from the morning time till the afternoon if needed for walks or sitting. I prefer to care for them at the client house as the pets feel the safest and most calm. the reason for not being at my home is because my grandma is allergic to animals.

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!

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.

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.
