About: I have taken care of animals since the age of 12.

To larger dogs like German shepherds, Rottweiler, pitbulls, and great Pyrenees hurding dogs. I also have a history of equestrian work with horses so it's made it easier to handle larger dogs. All pets deserve to be pampered and treated like family. Every time no excuse. I am a stay at home mom so I have no schedule to work around. I am available 24 hours a day, 7 days a week.

About: I have grown up with many animals. I have had all different types of breeds from a collie, chihuahua, husky, to a Great Dane. I have 2 of my own fur babies who are so sweet & playful. I’m a caring, reliable pet lover who understands how important it is to trust someone with your fur baby. I treat every pet like they’re my own—making sure they feel safe, loved, and comfortable while you’re away. I’m patient, attentive, and happy to follow your pet’s routine to keep things consistent and stress-free. Whether it’s walks, playtime, or just extra cuddles, I’m here to give your pet the care and attention they deserve while giving you peace of mind. I have let sit for many families before and have never had any issues!! I am a stay at home mom with my two littles so I am always home!

My apartment has a dog park where your fur baby can play! I also have 2 dogs of my own to help keep your baby entertained. I care for pets in my home the same way I care for my own—with patience, love, and attention to detail. I keep a clean, pet-safe space and make sure each pet gets personalized care, whether that’s sticking to their routine, extra playtime, or just a cozy place to rest.
About: I am reliable and make sure to take care of any individual pet. I love hanging out with dogs, making sure they’re active, happy, and cared for. I have experience in watching dogs over night in their homes, as well check on dogs if their owner are away on vacation. Dogs can get lonely when their owners are away working or traveling, which is why I love to dogsit when needed! I am a full-time college, so weekends including Friday afternoons are my best times. If I have free time when not busy with academics, I can dog sit in the afternoon/evenings. I make sure dogs have food and water! I live in a house with a big yard that is front and back, very spacious for dogs to run around and sniff around!
“I am grateful that Haley was available and provided such excellent care to my babies. I would definitely recommend and am looking forward to having her watch my babies in the future.”
About: It’s your new “Step Dog Mom” I believe every pet deserves Dog-Mom level care—the kind where they’re treated like family, not just a client. With years of experience caring for pups of all ages, sizes, and personalities, I pride myself on creating a calm, loving, and safe environment where your dog can truly relax. I’m extremely patient and gentle, whether I’m bonding with an anxious rescue, entertaining an energetic puppy, or tending to the needs of a sweet senior. I pay close attention to every detail, from their feeding schedule to their favorite belly rub spot, and I’m skilled at reading body language to ensure your pet feels comfortable and secure. You can count on me to be reliable, communicative, and respectful of your home. I provide regular updates, cute photos, and even fun paw report cards so you always know how your fur-baby is doing. Life can be unpredictable, and I do my best to be flexible and understanding when schedules shift. Most of all, I love building connections with each pet I care for—because to me, they’re not “just pets,” they’re family. 🐾 Im available Thursday to Sunday. On Thursday and Friday only I’m available after 5:30pm (due to me having a full time job from home). Saturday and Sunday I’m available all day 🙂 For any Drop-In visits or Walks I do require a complementary meet and greet before booking to ensure your pet is comfortable with me and their “home space” ❤️ Your pet’s comfort and safety always come first in your home. I take time to learn your pet’s routine, preferences, and any special needs before each visit. I follow feeding, walking, and medication instructions exactly as given, and always make sure your pet has fresh water and a clean, calm environment. I respect your space—leaving your home just as I found it—and keep doors locked, alarms set, and your pet safely indoors or secured outside as requested. I’m gentle, patient, and attentive to body language, especially with shy or anxious pets. You’ll receive regular updates and photos for peace of mind while you’re away.

A pet sitter can provide focused care sessions, help your pet’s routine stay on track, or keep you updated on your pet’s mood and energy levels.
Whether you’re at the office for the day or traveling for a few nights, a pet sitter can offer potty breaks during a Phenix City stroll, cleaning the litter box, or making sure your pet has on-time food or water refills. For daytime services like walking and drop-ins, you can also request sitters to send a report card with every visit.
Tip: You can discuss your specific arrangements with a pet sitter on Rover to what fits you, your pet, and your sitter’s needs. To find what their special skills are, look at the "Skills" and "Pet care experience" sections on their profile.
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 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.
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.
To find sitters in Phenix City with recurring or weekly availability, select "Repeat Weekly" and which days you’d like them to care for your pet.

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.
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.
