About: I have taken care of primarily dogs and some cats for family members and friends since I was young. I love being able to help any furry friend, and I even volunteered at the humane society for a few months! I am currently a student at the university so I have early mornings, evenings, and the weekends available! I love to walk and run on the Black Warrior Riverwalk, as well as around campus. I have three shelties at home that I enjoy letting run around outside with an invisible fence and take on walks in the woods or greenways. They have a very active and calm lifestyle, with lots of cuddles and attention to go with their adventures on free days! They get fed twice a day and get a little bedtime treat each night :)
About: I’ve taken care of animals my whole life! I have taken care of my cats and large dogs. I have worked with senior cats and crazy puppies. Many of my family friends trust me to overnight sit for 7+ days. I love animals and would love to be your trusted pet care taker🐾💕 I only have morning classes so I can watch animals anytime after 11am every day of the week! I have a cat of my own so I know they have very strict schedules for feeding and play. I am always open to popping in and making sure all is in balance for your fur baby. I will play, walk, feed, and watch animals depending on what their needs are. I love playing with cats and long walks with any dog.
“April once again did a great job. My little boy loves her! My shy girl actually came out of her kennel even though this was only her second visit. This is huge for my girl as she endured abuse before coming to live with us and does not trust people very well.”
“This is a repeat booking with Annika. She is great with my fur baby (cat). She clearly communicates his status/mood of the visit. She is dependable, reliable and an animal lover. We trust her to take care of our fur baby. We will use her again.”
About: I've been pet sitting for four years, caring for 15+ animals ranging from dogs and cats to fish. Whether it's overnight stays at your home or multiple drop-in visits throughout the day, I make sure your pet stays comfortable, safe, and on their routine while you're away. Your home and your pet will be treated with the same care I'd give my own. As a student with a flexible schedule, pet care fits seamlessly into my day. I have plenty of availability for drop-in visits throughout the day, overnight stays, and last-minute bookings, including weekdays, weekends, and holidays. Your pet will never feel like a gap in someone's busy calendar. When caring for pets in your home, my priority is keeping their routine as normal as possible so they feel comfortable and stress-free while you're away. I'll follow your feeding schedule, walk and play with them on their usual schedule, keep their space clean and tidy, and give them plenty of attention and affection throughout the day. I'll also send regular updates and photos so you always know how they're doing. Your home will be treated with the same respect and care as my own.
“Mallory was fantastic. I needed a last minute drop in and she was able to come do the meet/greet and two days of drop ins all within about 24 hours notice. Pictures were uploaded as requested and definitely will be using her on the future.”
About: I’ve had my beagle, Sméagol, since I was 6 years old. Now, 16 years old you can still find her running around happy as can be! I’ve raised my 3 year old- Pibble- since she was merely the size of my hand; she’s my best friend! I also volunteer at the animal shelter and recently was offered a job there! I am a senior at UA, but I am taking online courses. I do have two dogs of my own but I can always bring them to my house (which I own) and we can spend more time together! If your babies don’t feel comfortable around other dogs or don’t want to leave their safe space, I could check on them every 2-4 hours! I have a fenced in yard (9 feet tall) so even the biggest babies couldn’t hop over it. I work with abused dogs frequently and know how to create a safe and comfortable environment for more skiddish doggos. It’s very important to me that not only your fur baby is comfortable, but that you as the owner also feel comfortable; knowing your baby is safe. My care will vary based off of the dog and their individual needs as well as the owners preferences. Rest assured, I take tons of pictures so you feel connected to your baby while you are away!

She was absolutely wonderful taking care of Eloise! She was very responsive, kept me updated frequently, and sent lots of pictures and updates throughout the stay. It gave me so much peace of mind knowing Eloise was in such great hands. I really appreciated her communication and care, and I would definitely recommend her to anyone looking for a reliable and caring pet sitter! I would happily book with her again!

Frequently asked questions about Rover
As of November 2026, there are 369 sitters on Rover offering Pet Sitting across Peterson. 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 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.
Yes, you can find sitters who have experience with handling special pet needs in Peterson. On Rover:
- 87% of sitters can help with special care needs
- 94% 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 Meet & Greet.
sitters on Rover set their own cancellation policy, 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.
