“Reed did a great job taking care of our older German Shepherds and house sitting for us. He took the dogs on walks and played fetch with them. I loved the pics he sent. Will definitely use him again!”
“Francine was amazing! She stayed at our house for 8 nights with our Great Dane and Doberman. The Doberman can be a little difficult at first but she handled him perfectly and they really bonded. She sent lots of updates and pics. She was very responsive and took great care of our house. We will definitely use Francine in the future!”
“Kelly was great. She was flexible and communicative. When we got back home, we could tell that Sam felt cared for and attended to in our absence which is always a relief after being away, even for a short time.”
About: I have a two very loved pups of my own and have worked for a unique boarding and kenneling facility for about a year. I am all about giving my undivided attention to each dog in their designated time. I like to understand each dogs unique schedule so that I can tend to it and give them what they need. I have a fenced in back yard that is open for plenty of play time. Potty breaks come first followed by play time and/or walks with tons of love and petting in between. I want to fulfill their needs whether its play time, potty breaks or just love and attention. I am pretty flexible and understanding as I know that schedules can change and unforeseen events can occur.
“Addie was exceptional in every way. She asked questions, followed my instructions and constantly kept me updated on Bella. I would highly recommend her and will definitely use her again!”
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!
About: Im in human healthcare by profession and am a lifelong animal lover at heart. Whether I’m caring for my patients or animals, I take the opportunity to provide love and care as an honor. I’ve always had a deep appreciation for animals of all kinds and understand that every being has their own unique personality, routines, and needs. I’m patient, dependable, and attentive to detail. It’s my goal to ensure your furry family member will receive plenty of love, exercise, playtime, and attentive care while you’re away. I have experience with puppy’s, senior dogs, cats, and other small animals. I’m comfortable administering medications if needed and keeping owners updated with photos and messages for peace of mind. My schedule varies by week so please message at least 1 week ahead of time to ensure availability. I would love to work something out. I aim to keep routines as consistent as possible. I do not have a fenced yard but I am in a pet friendly area next to a public trail and enjoy guiding the necessary leashed potty breaks.
“Autumn did a great job taking of my 3 goofballs while we were on vacation for a week! She sent me updates and pictures and even offered to exercise them everyday. It was great to know they were well taken care of and happy while I was away so I could just relax and enjoy myself. I would definitely recommend her and use her services again!”
“When one of my dogs unexpectedly passed away just prior to the Rover sitting weekend, she offered to bring her dogs over to interact with my dog. While I was gone, she took my dog over to be with her so that my dog would not be alone during the day”
“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!”
About: I've been a pet owner since I was a girl. Have always been good with animals. Just starting out professionally. However, your pet will be in good hands. I am a cat owner of a spoiled fat cat. Will be my main gig available 24/7 really. I don't sleep much, so I can pretty much always be on call. I am upbeat, loving person, who likes to laugh. And I will admit I love animals more than people. My kitty is chipped and indoor. He lol it's a chubby boy so I spoil him. I cant help it hes so cute. I can't deny a hungry animal. I trained him with my voice not even a spray bottle. Animals want to mind. I don't have a dog myself because I live in a small camper and I would want a big doggy lol
“Casie always does amazing with my pets! She treats them just like her own, and sends pictures every day with updates on how they're doing. I can't recommend her enough!”
“Our pups knew Brianna was an animal lover as soon as she walked in the door. She gave them love like they were her own and sent pics throughout the 6 hour pet/house watch. We will definitely contact her next time we need a sitter.”
About: I used to have a senior Chihuahua and raised him since he was a puppy. I understand how a pet needs love and attention along with protection. I know what it’s like to not have time or anyone around to help out with pets, I hope to help create a safe and fun environment for your pets. 😊 I occasionally work overnights, otherwise I care for pets full time. I can provide the care needed as I am home all day. At night, my children and baysitter are home to be with one another and all the animals. There will always be someone home!:) Safety is a priority. Safety for pets and people, we have the space to care and room for comfort. There are places for pets to safely sleep if they don’t want to be around others too much. We have a fully fenced in yard as well as a safe neighborhood
“Rose was AMAZING with our pets! Like many people, our pets are like our babies and I have so much anxiety about leaving them. Rose sent tons of updates and pictures and made the process so easy and un-stressful. She left our home so tidy and took great care of everything. We will absolutely book Rose again to take care of our babies!”
“Liz did a great job watching our dogs and house while we were out of town for a week. We loved the daily updates and appreciated her flexibility when our flight home got delayed. We look forward to using her services again in the future.”

FAQs for House Sitting - Prattville
Frequently asked questions about Rover
As of September 2026, there are 453 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 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 short introductory meeting between you, your pet, 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.
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.

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.
