About: I have been around all kinds of animals my whole life. From dogs and rabbits to chickens and horses. I pet sit for my friends and family often. They have a range of dogs from 6 months old puppies that I will do some training with to 12 year olds that need tender love and care. I can keep up with the very high energetic dogs or just lounge around with a low energy dogs. I'm currently working part time so my work schedule is very flexible to fit around the your dogs needs. My normal weekday availability is mornings, evenings and a hour in afternoon for a lunch break. I’m available weekends also. I will follow each dogs established routines, including feeding, walks, and crating as the owner instructs with consistency and safety. I have experience with puppies, elderly, and multi dog households. I try to keep up with existing training and communicate clearly with lots of updates and photos of your pup!
“Taylor was wonderful in house sitting and caring for my fur baby. She communicated daily with pictures and a variety of activities. She cleaned her dishes and laundered the towels and comforter she used. I am looking forward to booking Taylor again!”
“Stacy took exceptional care of my dog and cat for 4 days while I was on vacation. She went above and beyond by taking my dog on extra walks, hikes, and spent a lot of time with her. I’m very happy with her care and would recommend Stacy to anyone that wants a very happy puppy to come home to!”
“Dezire was great with our girls! She made sure to keep us updated on what their day was like and went above and beyond helping us with things around the house! The girls had daily long walks. She also was able to help us with a last minute add on day.”
About: For my whole life, I have had all different kinds of pets. I really miss the companionship but I’m no longer able to have a pet of my own, so why not do the next thing and take care of yours? I work part time, and I do my own scheduling so I am very flexible schedule and easily available to work with whatever is needed. I treat every pet as if they were my own. I follow each owner’s instructions carefully regarding feeding, exercise, medication, and routines to help pets feel safe and comfortable. During house sitting, I keep the home clean, secure, and well-maintained while providing plenty of attention, companionship, and updates so owners can have peace of mind while they’re away.
“Mary is amazing! She was very patient and loving with our sensitive Mia! She took her on walks multiple times a day and Mia had so much fun with her! She left the house better than it was when she got here! I hope she is willing to keep Mia again because it was a great experience for us!❤️”
About: I am very gentle with all the doggies I care for. I show each one of them love and respect their boundaries. I love to go for walks with them and pick up after any messes they make. I happily clean their dishes and make sure they are well provided for. I’ve only had 1 dog in my lifetime that lived to 12 years old but I have had many dogs around me growing up. I love taking pics and vids of goofy things they do so I am happy to update as well throughout my time caring for them. I am currently working part time so I have a lot of flexibility when it comes to animal care. I am happy to make early morning and late night stops to accommodate for their care. I follow the rules you set! I am happy to walk, train, crate, exercise, and play with your animal in ways you prefer and know they like! At home, I only have cats so I feed twice daily (with vitamins and supplements), scoop the litter daily, and do kitty dishes daily as well. We play at night and they have full access (and kitty proofed) to my garage to play in. I am happy to accommodate their lifestyle and needs.
About: Caring for my own pets until their very last day taught me the importance of love, patience, and attentiveness. Now, for the first time in my life, I find myself without a pet, but I’ve started filling that hole by offering pet sitting as I heal. With years of hands-on experience, I’m skilled in administering medication, handling special diets, and providing gentle, compassionate care for pets with unique needs. Whether it’s daily walks, playtime, or simply being there for your pet, I offer dedicated care with a deep understanding of what it means to love and lose a furry family member. Working remotely allows me to be home and attentive throughout the day, making pet care a seamless part of my daily routine. I’m active, and my older kids (12 and 17) share my love for animals, so your pet will have plenty of company and playtime. I currently pet sit for multiple friends, so I’m experienced in managing different schedules and needs. I’m open to overnight stays or having your pet stay with us, and if your furry friend enjoys car rides, they’re welcome to join us on errands or school drop-offs. I’m flexible and committed to ensuring your pet’s comfort, whether they prefer staying home, riding along, or need to be crated.

I ensure they have a comfortable space to relax, with plenty of toys, cozy spots for naps, and regular access to the outdoors if needed.

Frequently asked questions about Rover
As of October 2026, there are 448 sitters on Rover offering House Sitting across Prattville. 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 Prattville 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 Prattville 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 Prattville 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 , 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 .
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 .
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.
