About: First off, my name is Vanessa and I am a HUGE animal lover. I have been around dogs/cats all my life and I will always have a soft spot for them no matter what. I’m very passionate when it comes to dog and cat care because I want to make sure that they are taken care of. My special skills require being responsible, smart,caring, hardworking. I will create a healthy and fun environment for your pets while also making sure they are safe. I look forward to meeting with you as a potential client and of course, meeting your pets! :) I am again home full time so I can provide extra care and time for your pets while being able to give them all the love while they are away from their owners! I am very involved with my pets at home. My cat Luna is very independent and my dog Vader is very friendly and loves meeting new people/animals!
“So grateful for Selena’s help with our pups. Really appreciated the pictures and the communication during our time away. We knew our pups were taken care of and in the best hands while we were away”
About: I have been caring for dogs for as long as I can remember! I love dogs and dogs surely love me. Dogs are humans in furry bodies lol I am a School Teacher with open availability after 3:30 pm and before 7:00AM. I am free on the weekends so me your furbaby will be playing and relaxing all day long! I live in a spacious one-bedroom apartment within a community that features beautiful walking trails and an amazing dog park—perfect for plenty of exercise and fresh air. You can rest assured that your pup will receive lots of love, attention, and quality time while in my care. Dogs are absolutely welcome on all furniture and are even welcome to snuggle up in my bed, so they’ll feel right at home.
About: I’ve grown up with dogs my entire life, so caring for them has always been a big part of who I am. I’ve experience caring for dogs of many different breeds and ages, including senior dogs. When my own dogs grew older, I was there to care for them and help with their needs, including cleaning up after them and making sure they were comfortable and well cared for. I’ve also volunteered at humane societies and have experience caring for friends’ pets, which has taught me how to be patient, attentive, and adaptable with different personalities and needs. Most importantly, I genuinely love dogs and treat every pet as an individual. I want every dog in my care to feel safe, loved, comfortable, and able to enjoy their best life while their owners are away. I’m currently enrolled in college and work a part-time job in the evenings, which gives me plenty of availability throughout the day to care for your pets. I’m available on both weekdays and weekends and can work with your pet’s individual routine and needs. In the mornings, I can stop by for walks, playtime, cuddles, and some quality time together. In the afternoons, I can check in on them, let them outside, and make sure they get plenty of attention and love. In the evenings, I can come by for another visit to play, cuddle, feed them, and give them another opportunity to go outside. When caring for a dog in a client’s home, I make sure to follow their usual routine and create a schedule that works well for both the pet and their family. I understand that every dog has different needs and preferences, so I take the time to keep them comfortable and maintain the routine they’re used to. I love taking dogs on walks, playing with their favorite toys, spending time outside, and giving them plenty of attention and cuddles. If the home has a fenced-in yard, I’m happy to let them enjoy some supervised outdoor playtime. If there isn’t a fenced yard, we can always go for a walk and then come back inside for plenty of playtime, relaxation, and cuddles.
“She did great with my dogs! Every visit I would receive pictures of them. My mind was at ease while I was on my trip which made it so much more enjoyable. If your like me and dont like to leave your fur babies in a kennel then this is the perfect option. They were safe and comfortable at home with multiple daily visits.”

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.

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.
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 Phenix 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!
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.
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 .
While Rover doesn’t offer traditional subscription services, some sitters offer recurring bookings for services like home visits and dog walking.

Same-day cancellations for recurring services, which include walks, drop-ins, and day care, follow the full refund policy.
