“Jade is the best dog sitter we have used! Communication is superior. She always made sure i got pictures or videos. She remained calm and took amazing care of my husky mix when she chased a cat. I'm almost positive the house was cleaner when we came home than when we left. She was the absolute perfect dog sitter! I cannot wait to have her watch my fur babies again in a few weeks!”
“Ciara was excellent with our dogs. She was easy to communicate with and the dogs seemed to get along well with her. She sent several photos while watching them. We don’t usually travel without our dogs, but we would definitely rebook with Ciara if we were not able to take them with us.”
“Emma was a star staying with our two dogs! She sent lots of videos and pictures so we could see how they were doing. Emma gave updates and made sure even our one dog who has separation anxiety ate his food and felt loved. :) Normally he is feeling rough after we get back from a trip, but this time he was totally OK!”
“Tara was amazing! She sent daily updates at the end of the day (per our request) with pictures, walking route, and activities they did throughout the day. She spent lots of time loving on and playing with our dog, and she went above and beyond taking her to the park and through downtown during the day. She was a wonderful house guest, and we think our house may be cleaner now than when we left. We would love to have her keep our dog again no question!”
About: Dogs have been a part of my life since I've been a boy. I've owned many different breeds from large to small, my current dogs are all rescues from Hawaii giving them a beautiful life here in Alabama giving them loves hugs and kisses every day. My daughter (Fay) is 27 and also helps with the dogs when I'm not home. Im retired so im available morning afternoons and nights plus overnight if needed. Always following schedules or routines food, water meds walks or playtime for sure. Keeping your fur babies are safe and plenty of rubs and love. At my home I always check my gates and fence line for safety. I always go out with them for safety, walks and playtime. Separate or rotate pets at feeding time if needed and treat time. I ask about your house rules and follow the instructions for any special needs for each pet, food mediation walks. I always double check gates locks making sure everything is secure before leaving.
About: I have hands on experience caring for cats and dogs of different temperaments, including feeding, walking, litter care, and providing companionship. I'm comfortable with pets that are shy, energetic, or need a little extra attention. I'm a lifelong pet lover and have happily raised 10 pets since childhood! I am available after 4:30 PM for any of the services listed on my profile. I'm energetic, vigilant, and playful, so we’re bound to have tons of fun together! I also keep the doors closed at home, so you won't have to worry about anyone wandering off.
About: I care for every pet like they’re my own—because I truly know what that means. I’ve spent the past 4 years raising a labradoodle, 3 years with a golden retriever, and 2 years with my cat, so I’m experienced with different personalities, energy levels, and needs. I’m especially passionate about rescue animals. I volunteer with shelters and rescues, which has given me hands-on experience working with pets who may be shy, anxious, or still learning to trust. I bring patience, calm energy, and a lot of kindness to every visit. I understand that no two pets are the same. Whether it’s a high-energy pup who needs structured play, a senior dog who needs a slower pace, or a cat who prefers quiet companionship, I adjust my care to fit their personality. Your pet will get more than just a sitter—they’ll get someone who genuinely loves and understands them. Pet care is a natural part of my everyday life. I recently moved to Alabama from Texas, where I was a teacher, and I’m now a full-time dog and cat mom. Because of this, I have a very flexible schedule and can easily adjust my day to meet your pet’s needs. I tailor my care based on each pet’s routine, personality, and comfort level. I aim to keep your pet’s routine as normal as possible. I follow all instructions carefully—feeding, walks, and any special preferences. I make sure they get lots of love, enrichment, and companionship while you’re away. I also respect your home and keep things clean and secure. I’m experienced with different energy levels and temperaments, including shy or rescue pets, and I approach every animal with patience and kindness. My goal is for your pet to feel safe, comfortable, and genuinely cared for at all times.
“Alyssa is absolutely the BEST! She goes above and beyond for your baby. Our sweet Pig Pig adores her and we have even booked again for this weekend! We are so blessed to have Miss Alyssa as she is extremely loving and compassionate towards the babies. She is an angel and Pig Pig misses her already!”

“Riley was great with our pup!! She was very attentive, caring and communicative with us during his stay. He loved the time he had with her, to the point it was hard to get him to leave.”
About: Ever since I was 6 years old I’ve had an unusual connection with dogs. They are my world. For some reason they always seem to find me. I’m the person you see on the highway going after a lost dog. I’ve had 6 dogs at once before. I can’t seem to say no to dogs needing a home. It’s my happiness. I have my own company and pick my own hours so I’m able to work around schedules to make sure I take care of the animals. I have a fenced in backyard, with two dogs right now that are very animal friendly and sweet. I have a 5 year old daughter who loves to help out with my fiancé.
About: I’ve had dogs (&cats) for as long as I can remember. I adore animals and promise to provide the best care to them and your home! I have a very open schedule at the moment and I’m very “go with the flow”. I’m willing to make accommodations or changes as needed that will give us both the best experience. I’m always mindful of owners requests and requirements of care while also prioritizing your pets safety and comfort while in my care. I treat my own pets with love and respect and will do the same for anyone else’s.

Frequently asked questions about Rover
The average cost for House Sitting in Pell City on Rover is $49.95 per night (as of August 2026). However, all sitters set their own rates based on experience, location, and availability.
Rover makes budgeting the cost of House Sitting easy. As long as your dates and pet profiles are correct, the price you see before you book is the same price you pay for House Sitting. For more information on service fees, click here .
As of August 2026, there are 447 sitters on Rover offering House Sitting across Pell City. Enter your ZIP code to see which available sitters are closest to your home.
Beyond belly rubs and feeding schedules, a house sitter’s presence may provide an additional layer of security for your home. However, you will need to arrange overnight stays and other household tasks with your sitter when reaching out to them. Not all sitters offer the same services. Common household tasks you can negotiate include:
- Mail & deliveries: Collecting letters and packages so they don't pile up.
- Plant care: Keeping your indoor or outdoor garden hydrated.
- Trash & recycling: Taking trash cans to the curb on scheduled pickup days.
- Home security: Sitters can stay overnight to keep your home occupied.
The best way to align on expectations is during your free Meet & Greet. Use this time to provide a "home cheat sheet" that includes your preferred Pell City walking routes, the location of your favorite pet store, and any specific quirks about your home’s security or appliances.
It’s helpful to think of house sitting as a "home base" service. Most sitters in Pell City maintain their normal daily routines, like running errands or heading to the office, meaning your pet should be comfortable being alone for a few hours at a time. If your pet needs a little extra company, here is how to find the perfect match:
- Look for "WFH" sitters: Many sitters mention "Work from Home" on their profile to indicate they’ll be present for the majority of the day.
- Update your pet’s profile: Write down how long your pet can comfortably be left alone. This helps sitters quickly determine if their schedule aligns with your needs.
- Communicate 24/7 needs: Standard house sitting usually doesn't include constant supervision. If your pet requires round-the-clock care, be sure to discuss this upfront.
Tip: Use the Meet & Greet to confirm a sitter's typical "away" windows. Transparency ensures your pet stays happy and your sitter can plan their day effectively!
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 Pell City 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!
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 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 .
If a health concern arises during a stay, your sitter is instructed to contact you and our Trust & Safety team immediately and, if needed, take your pet to the closest veterinarian. Through our Trust & Safety support team, sitters can ask for diagnostic advice from a qualified veterinary professional if your pet is showing signs of possible illness.
For extra peace of mind, you can also prepare an authorization form for your regular vet. An authorization form outlines your preferred method of care and allows your sitter to bring your pet into their regular clinic.
Every qualified booking made on Rover is backed by the Rover Guarantee, which includes reimbursement for eligible emergency vet care.
A Meet & Greet is a short introductory meeting between you, your pet, 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.
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.
Yes, you can find sitters who have experience with handling special pet needs in Pell City. On Rover:
- 100% of sitters can help with special care needs
- 100% can help with giving oral medications or injections
- 100% 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.
