“Kamylle was great with our dogs and cat! It was so nice knowing that they were being cared for by someone that obviously puts a lot of thought and attention into the comfort of the animals and concerns of the owner. She was very attentive to the nuances of our animals' behaviors and took great care of our crew, helping them adjust to our being away. I would highly recommend her and hope to use her again in the future!”
“Kara was amazing. It was the first time leaving my pups with somebody since I moved and I was very nervous but she made the whole experience flawless. She was professional and on time for every visit. She did everything that I asked her to do and she took excellent care of both my dogs. I would highly recommend her and would absolutely use her again in the future.”
“I can’t even begin to express how happy I am that I found Rianna! She took care of my girls for a week and I came back and they look happier than ever. She also left my house cleaner than how I left, I had never used the house sitting option on Rover, but she exceeded my expectations! I would gladly use her again!”
About: I have dedicated my whole life to the study of animal behavior and caring for them to the best of my ability. I have worked various jobs and owned various types of pets of my own, and strongly pride myself in my ability to go beyond the bare minimum for the animals in my care. My experience and Capabilities.. - I am certified in animal first Aid & CPR - Along with my first Aid training, I received extensive training in the handling of behaviorally complicated dogs & cats, and handling dogs and cats with medical challenges such as seniors, epilepsy, diabetes, etc. I am comfortable with offering medication to even more difficult pets. - experience rescuing and caring for dogs and cats of all ages. - versatile knowledge in different breeds, handling show dogs, grooming dogs, etc. - ample experience at professional boarding facilities, monitoring and caring for up to 180 dogs and many cats during the holiday season at the facility. - advanced knowledge in dog body language, training, and general care. - I have rescued animals, rehabilitated them, and helped with their adoptions. - I have handled AKC sport and show dogs, and worked alongside ethical dog breeders. - All-in-all, my goal is to be the kind of person you can trust to go above and beyond for your pets. I refuse to settle for the bare minimum, and I know it's hard to trust just anyone to care for your pets the way you do. I strive to be that reliable for each and every one of my clients. I have ample free time, and find myself at my best spending all of it keeping myself busy with the animals in my care. Otherwise, I do not stay busy. I have never enjoyed anything more. I have a fenced in yard, and never leave dogs unsupervised outside even for a moment. My house is large and spacious, meaning any other animals in my care can be separated and cared for adequately individually as needed. Pets are cared for adequately based on their individual needs. I do not settle for the bare minimum, your pet will be happy, comfortable and thriving in my care. I provide daily updates and pictures!
“Melissa was our first ever rover booking and we are so glad we picked her! She was confident with our 3 large dogs & sent updates through the overnight stay. She put my anxious pet parent mind to ease. We will book her again for future dog/house sitting needs!”
“Denise was attentive and wonderful with our two dogs while we were out of town. She arrived early and took the time to hand feed one of our senior dogs. We came home to a clean home and happy dogs. We will definitely book her again!”
“Selena was able to watch our fur babies on fairly short notice in our home. Our babies seemed to like her and they were in good spirits upon our return home. We would use Selena again!”
“Marianne was great with the dogs and was extremely accommodating when we got a puppy and had unexpected travel. It’s incredibly evident she loves dogs and both our boys were well taken care of. Planning on using her again in the future”
About: I have been taking care of animals for many years of my life as I grew up with cats and dogs. I have experimented caring for cats and dogs, kittens through senior cats and puppies through senior dogs. I would love to watch any age range. I am even open to watching more than just cats and dogs. I am a college student who is also employed, however, I have time between class and work that I can spend being productive and would love to spend hanging out with your babies! I am also open to spending the night with them. I will do what is asked of me such as feeding, walking, potty breaks, etc. I will also love on and play with all animals.
“Always grateful when she watches my dogs. She is great at communicating and when I come home I know there aren’t going to be any unexpected surprises. My dogs are always very happy when we have this sitter. Cannot thank her enough.”
“Destiny was Fantastic. I will be leaving a RAVE REVIEW. The fact that my dog was playing with another dog. 🙌🙌🙌🙌🙌🙌🙌. I will be using your services in the future. Thank you for being so loving and caring while attending to my dog. He lost his sister in March, so seeing him excited & playing again was heartwarming. Thank you again.”
About: With over two years of professional animal care experience, I am available to run and walk with them, as well as play with them of course, or just check in on them throughout the day. I do not work and spend my day walking/exercising and taking care of my baby. This allows me to help fit into whatever their normal routine is easily! I am a stay at home mom and have plenty of time to provide attention, give walks and cuddle with your baby:) I can fit into whatever routine or schedule they need!
About: I've had pets since I was little. We got our first dog when I was in about 4th grade. At the moment I have a Guinea pig. I've been to obedience school with my dog before so I think that might come in handy. Other than that. I just want to enjoy their company. And also keep an eye on your bundle of joy for you. I've had pitbulls, pinkingneses, and a beagle before but I mostly know about smaller dogs. I've read a plethora of dog books from my local library during my early teenage years to get a good understanding of most species. I also am constantly researching anything I need to, on more than just Google and wikipedia but multiple sources. I hope I can be of service to anyone who would have me. I work two part time jobs and am looking to fill my time with some fur babies. The time spend at both jobs is equal to less than 40 hours. I have a crate trained dog in my home and plenty of yard to run around. I live on a dirt road so it is not traveled often.

About: I’ve been pet sitting since forever. I have multiple animals of my own seeing as I have a farm and love to add animals to it. I’m currently in school get my bachelors in health science and associates in business, but luckily as of right now I am online so free all the time when im not babysitting/nannying. I’m looking for more opportunities to pet sit since I love animals and have all summer completely free. I am able to take your fur babies on long walks and fun trips to the park to play. I will love and treat your fur babies as if they are my own. I have a very secure environment as I live in a house on my parents property with them. It’s 30 acres so lots of land to take walks on with the pets. I have experience with all animals aging from young to senior animals. I also have experience with other animals if you have any including rabbits, chickens, and ducks of all ages.

Pet parents share their Rover experiences - Phenix City
Kisten is very informative and understanding! She sent me pictures of the dogs and let me know how they were doing. For such a last minute booking, she made me feel like I was leaving my dogs with someone who is safe and secure. Thank you kindly- I would definitely recommend and rebook!
Autumn is absolutely fantastic! We needed someone to stay at our house for a week with our cat and older dog (almost 14) and Autumn was fast to respond to me. When she visited, her attention went immediately to the pets, which shows me she cares about the animals. The entire time she house and pet sit for us she was responsible and professional. She sent photos to reassure us and checked in with me every day. We have been through a few pet sitters in the past, and none match up to Autumn. Hoping she will be free for all our future travel. You can tell she really loves animals.
Ashley spent her days off of work to house and dog sit for us in our home. I received picture updates and she followed my 3 dogs routines to a T. I have never left my dogs home before (in 8 years) but meeting her helped ease my fears. I just knew they would be in good hands with her! While we were away, we got caught in an ice storm and couldn't travel home on-time but she was more than willing to extend the booking. It was all such an easy process and I will definitely be using her again in the future!
Lindsay took excellent care of Henry! We will definitely use her again and appreciate all of the love, attention and care he received while we were traveling. She was also very communicative and we enjoyed receiving multiple updates and photos/videos each day.
We are so pleased Nadtali He did an excellent job watching our picky little maltese named Pookie. He was very attentive and she liked him a lot. He played with her and adhered to all our instructions. I would highly recommend him and look forward to hiring him again in the near future,

Frequently asked questions about Rover
The average cost of House Sitting in Phenix City is $50 per night as of November 2026. Most bookings cost between $32 and $105 per night. 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 November 2026, there are 320 sitters on Rover offering House Sitting across Phenix 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 Phenix 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 Phenix 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 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!
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 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.
