“Leaving my dog for the first time was something I was incredibly nervous about. He has always stayed with family, and the one time I boarded him before, he really struggled. So leaving him at home for 6 days and trusting someone new to care for both him and my cat was a huge step for me. Lucy was wonderful and took excellent care of my babies. She stayed overnight the first night and then came by consistently throughout each day to check on them, give medications, take my dog on walks, and even brushed him. My cat is very shy and doesn’t come out for most people. Lucy worked gently to get him comfortable with her. By the last couple of days he was really coming around! Still keeping some distance, but her gentle persistence was working. It is obvious that Lucy cares about their comfort. I really appreciated the constant updates and photos. They gave me so much peace of mind and allowed me to actually relax while I was away. My dog was so much happier being able to stay in his own home, and my cat also did much better having his bestie there and someone coming in regularly. I truly could not have asked for a better first time experience. I highly recommend Lucy and will absolutely use her again in the future.”
“Alexis has been very open to working with my dog with special behavior considerations. My dog loved her and warmed up much more quickly than I expected! While she is a relatively new Rover and is still learning all the intricacies when it comes to navigating this line of work, her transparency and openness makes me believe that she will go far in the animal care field.”
“Best Dog Sitter Ever – Especially for Holidays! Lindsay watched our two dogs again over the 4th of July weekend, and just like last time, she went above and beyond! Even with all the chaos of fireworks and a busy holiday, she made sure our anxious Great Dane felt calm and safe, and kept our other pup happy and comfortable. She sent us photo updates during every visit, let us know exactly when she arrived and left, and followed all of our care instructions perfectly. It’s clear how much she genuinely loves animals. Just like last time, she left us the cutest Doggy Report Card on the last day—it’s such a thoughtful touch and always makes us smile. We came home to two relaxed, happy dogs who were clearly well cared for. Lindsay is incredibly reliable, kind, and communicative. We trust her completely and feel lucky to have found her. If you need a sitter who treats your pets like her own—especially during stressful times like holidays—she’s the one!”
About: I’ve had an animal my whole life from dogs to guinea pigs. I love going on walks and meeting all new kinds of dogs I have lots of free time while waiting for my classes to start and would love to make extra money for that time that needs to be filled My dog Is very high energy he loves hiking and going on walks. We take him to the park everyday to help him socialize with other animals and get his walks in for the day
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 have a back porch they can relax on, my dog love it he’s out there all the time. and I have a pup of my own to keep your baby company. If needed I can easily crate my dog.

About: I have spent my life around cats and dogs, and currently have a 5 year old dog of my own. My family also fosters and homes dogs to this day so the love for animals runs deep! I am familiar with training of animals, walking them, caring for medical needs, and providing all the pets they want and need! I have a lot of free time outside of my full time job and would love to spend it around animals. My schedule is flexible and always changing so I can accept a wide range of pet sitting/walking/feeding. I care for my dog in a very loving manner, he is pet constantly, taken on a generous amount of walks, and steals a lot of my attention for throwing his ball.
About: I have had animals since I was a little baby. I love animals and believe they should be treated with love and care. I will provide the right care your animal is needed, just like if it was my own pet. I work full time Monday-Thursday from 8-3pm. I have plenty of time to take care of animals and I will do everything in my power to make sure your animal is well taken care of. I have a safe environment in my home. I live in a safe household and enough space for your animals to roam and play as they would need. I also have security cameras as well to provide extra protection.
About: I have had some experience as pet boarding in my own home. I have my own dogs for the past 9 years. I know how rescues dogs engage when they are in a new environment and their needs. I recognize their body language and signs. They never bother me and I’m always there for them. I have plenty time on weekends since I do my online homework during the week and weekend. I usually take them for walks every day at nights so they have a better sleep afterwards. I have a fenced yard and my two beagles to have your fur baby company. I can create your baby if you feel it’s needed. I have an additional room available to separate if needed so they do not have to be placed in a kennel.
“Maria was amazing. We found her last minute and we’re so happy we did. She’s newer to Rover but definitely has experience with animals. We thought she was so professional and sent the most amazing updates!”
About: I am a German Shepherd breeder, and have raised, trained and cared for dogs my entire life. I am able to keep your pet with my friendly play groups, or provide independent time. I am home almost every day for 90% of the day, so I'm always here to tend to the dogs and provide round the clock care for my own and my clients dogs. I have a fenced yard for dogs who get along with my other dogs, they can join our pre existing play groups. Independent walks and play can also be provided for the dogs less keen on making friends. I can do drop ins for any pets, furry, feathered or otherwise, but I am only able to board dogs 20+lbs at my home.
About: Hi there! My name is Mikalya! I have a strong passion for animals. I’ve been dog and cat sitting since I was 12 years old. I have one dog, Rocky and a cat, Clever. Both are very sociable and get along very well. They are laidback. I would be more than happy to keep your fur-baby for you! Neighbors and family members have counted on me to care for their fur babies! I make sure they get more than enough care! I strive to go above and beyond! I work Monday-Friday, 8:30am-5pm, but I am off every weekend. Just let me know your needs and I will try my best to accommodate to them! I will crate them if that is what you prefer. I usually let the animals free roam so that they would feel comfortable in my home!
“The best sitter I’ve had so far! Very attentive and helpful- even outside of just pet care. Will definitely book her again if I’m afforded the opportunity. 10/10 recommended. Thanks so much Sarymar and Happy New Year!”
“We were so happy with our pet sitter and would absolutely recommend her! She took wonderful care of our cats while we were away and sent photos with every visit, along with updates to let us know how they were doing. It gave us such peace of mind knowing they were being well cared for. When we returned home, everything was in great shape, and their litter area had been cleaned thoroughly. She was dependable, attentive, and clearly took great care of them. We will definitely use her again!”
“Jenna was very sweet and caring towards our dogs and took time to play with them at each visit too. She had amazing communication with us if there was any questions or issues. Highly recommend her!”

He was fantastic with both my little guys. He did everything as asked, is very patient and calm is a great person overall and as someone to watch your pets. I highly recommend him and would love to hire him again! Keep up the good work William! 11/10 from me!
Erica, was very nice and attentive to our little finches and outdoor cats. She was prompt on her visits and sent daily updates with pictures. She came for an initial visit several days before our trip and we felt very comfortable and confident with her experience with birds and cats. We would highly recommend her for future bookings and will be glad to use her service again! Thanks, Margaret and Andrew

Frequently asked questions about Rover
The average cost of Pet Sitting in Phenix City is $18 per visit as of October 2026. Most bookings cost between $13 and $28 per visit. 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 October 2026, there are 616 sitters on Rover offering Pet Sitting across Phenix City. 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 .
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.
Yes, you can find sitters who have experience with handling special pet needs in Phenix City. On Rover:
- 92% of sitters can help with special care needs
- 97% can help with giving oral medications or injections
- 98% 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 .
sitters on Rover set their own , 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.
