“Olivia was fantastic!!! Hands down, the best we have worked with. We have a 13 yr old Orange Tabby, that has a bad attitude and mean personality when it comes to new people. But this time, she did very well. Even ate for Olivia, which is surprising. She’s just old and set in her ways 😂. Will definitely be booking with Olivia again when needed!!!! Highly recommend. 5 ⭐️’s!!!!!!!”

About: Hello Alabama! I have moved here to this fine state and am excited to get started sharing all the pet love I have been saving for this move. Please feel free to check with me for all dates moving forward. I am able to do days, weeks or months at a time. If you are military I can also help you as you may be transitioning out of your military life. I know that the debriefing from military life back to civilian life is sometimes one of distance and definitely time and I am very flexible on my time. I provide in home pet care. I have a day job working from home. My day job does allow me to come to you and your pet so that they can be less stressed by their humans absence. I like to keep the babies normal routine as close to perfect as possible. I have cared for so many wonderful pets through the years and this app and I am looking forward to continuing this wonderful, life changing service. I have had many steady repeat pets as well. I can provide letters of reference also if needed. Please review my calendar as I do have availability moving forward. My time with your pet will of course depend on your needs. I know I will be available for the holiday season. It is always good to get the holidays set up way in advance as a good pet sitter is hard to find at that time of year. I am really looking forward to helping with your pet sitting needs. Please just reach out and ask about the availability. I do try to keep up on my calendar but sometimes it can be a bit off. Again just reach out and double check directly with me. I am a real people person, I am a friendly and a kind human being. I am responsible, prompt, and very reliable. Pets love me & I love them. Please reach out and let’s see how I might be able to help. I have raised dogs all my life with my first pup showing up at the age of 8. I work remotely so my time is quite flexible. I have also done some dog training along with showing dogs for a short time frame. I simply love dogs, cats & horses. I am a responsible pet owner who always treated her own pet like a child & part of the family. Your pet would get that same love and attention. Playtime, good walks, some laughs and lots of belly rubs & trust go along way. If you have any questions please feel free to contact me I will get back quickly. I am located in the Owens Cross Roads area currently, and my rates are very reasonable for in-home, loving, positive pet care Thank you I am looking forward to helping you care for your pet in your home or to just drop by to help if you simply can’t get out to walk /play with your pet. I’m here for you looking forward to the opportunity. Since my pup has crossed over the rainbow bridge I would have no problem coming to you to help you with your pet. I look forward to hearing from you and blessings to you all.

About: Hi I’m Hailie, I have 2 ferrets who have their own room in my home. I also have a fur baby named flounder! I’m a dog lover with 4+ years of hands-on experience in doggy daycares and grooming salons, and I currently work part-time at a daycare. Basically—I speak dog fluently 🐶 I’m used to all kinds of pups, from high-energy goofballs to shy or anxious dogs who need a calm, patient approach. Whether your dog is staying in my home or heading out for a walk, they’ll get lots of attention, structure, and love! What you can expect: • 🐾 A safe, comfy home environment • 🐾 Walks, playtime, and plenty of affection • 🐾 Someone who understands dog behavior and body language • 🐾 Updates & photos so you can relax while you’re away I treat every dog like they’re my own (yes, that includes talking to them like a best friend). Can’t wait to meet your pup! 🐾 Pet care is already a big part of my daily routine. I currently work part-time at a dog daycare, so my day naturally revolves around caring for dogs, understanding their needs, and making sure they’re safe and happy. On days I’m home, I structure my schedule around the pets in my care—making time for walks, playtime, feeding, and lots of attention. For boarding, dogs in my home get a consistent routine with regular potty breaks, exercise, and a calm, comfortable environment. My home is a calm, clean, dog-friendly space where your pup can relax and be themselves. I stick to their normal routine as much as possible—feeding, potty breaks, walks, all of it—so they feel comfortable and settled!

About: I have a true genuine passion for pet sitting. I have always loved and never bored with wanting to care for others pets. I understand that each pet is a part of a family and should be treated as such. I have a few years of experience working in a pet hospital and many references, many including coworkers that understand I would love their pets as if they were my own. I have a full time 8-5 job however, my job is flexible with me taking longer lunch breaks if your pet requires frequent potty breaks and the distance is not far. I will also check on them before and after in addition to overnight if needed. N/A, I don't pet sit at my own place because I rent and they charge extra for that as well as I believe most pets feel comfortable in the safety of their own home.

“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've been dog sitting for 9 years and absolutely love it! Whether it’s quick drop-ins for walks and meals, giving meds, or hanging out with a whole pack of pets, I’ve got it covered. I’ve done everything from weekend stays to long vacations, and I always treat your pets like part of the family. Snuggles, belly rubs, and happy tails are guaranteed! In Huntsville temporarily as I prepare to move to Australia in December... how does that work with my schedule? Well, I have a ton of time on my hands between my small projects to come care for your pets. I am extremely flexible and can make almost any day/time work! When caring for pets in and out of your home, I prioritize safety and trust with you and your pets by providing dependable, loving support tailored to your pet’s needs. No matter the need (overnight stays, drop-in visits, walks, feeding, potty breaks, playtime, administering medication) I’m flexible in my care style! If you prefer a structured routine or a more relaxed, intuitive approach, I'm able to adapt to what works best for your pet. My goal is to always keep them comfortable, happy, and feeling at home while you’re away, and ensuring you feel connected with your pets by sharing updates and photos during each visit!

FAQs for Pet Sitting - Owens Cross Roads

Frequently asked questions about Rover

The average cost of Pet Sitting in Owens Cross Roads is $21 per visit as of October 2026. Most bookings cost between $11 and $32 per visit. On Rover, sitters set their own rates based on factors such as their experience, the length of care, the number of pets, and your pet’s specific needs. As long as your booking dates and pet profiles are accurate, the price shown before you confirm is the total, including any booking fee.

As of October 2026, there are 683 sitters on Rover offering Pet Sitting across Owens Cross Roads. Enter your ZIP code to see which available sitters are closest to your home.

You and your sitter can agree on a care schedule that fits your pet’s routine and the sitter’s availability. Pet Sitting can be booked as a one-time or recurring drop-in visit. If you need overnight care or dog walks, you may also be able to book House Sitting or Dog Walking through Rover with the same sitter, provided they offer those services.

Before booking, confirm:

  • the timing, length, and frequency of visits;
  • the care instructions the sitter should follow;
  • which parts of your pet’s usual routine should be prioritized;
  • how often you would like to receive messages, photos, or other updates.

Not every sitter offers the same services, availability, or booking options. Review their profile and discuss the care you need through Rover before booking each service.

If you would like updates while you’re away, you can discuss with your sitter how many or how frequent you’d like those updates to be. The Rover app allows sitters to send photos, videos, and messages about your pet, including how many pee or poop breaks occurred. You can message your sitter at any time through the app and our support team is available 24/7 by email or chat if you have concerns.

The personalized, in-home nature of pet care through Rover can mean more individual attention for your pet.

Many pet parents provide a spare key or arrange a lockbox. You can also exchange keys during the Meet & Greet and show your walker how to use digital fobs or personalized codes. It helps to arrange access to your home, from spare keys to concierge introductions, before pet care begins.

If you live in an apartment or condo, don’t forget to discuss details like buzzer access, codes, or elevator etiquette. These details can help a pet sitter feel more comfortable going in and out of your building.

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 .

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 , which provides up to $25,000 in eligible veterinary care reimbursement.

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

  • 89% of sitters can help with special care needs
  • 95% can help with giving oral medications or injections
  • 96% 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 sitter 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 sitter 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 sitter for longer stays or first-time bookings. Read our tips for your first .

sitters 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 sitter.
