“I can’t speak highly enough about Jennifer! She’s so amazing with the girls, takes care of them as if they are her own and is such a great communicator! We highly recommend you choose Jennifer to take care of your fur babies!”
“Andrea came through on short notice and handled both our quirky greyhound and our blind senior dog with real care and responsibility, which is not always easy. She was sweet and gentle with them and the dogs were happy and relaxed when we got home. I think our greyhound might have even fallen in love with her, as he was more attached than any sitter we've had in the past, so she must have a special charm with animals. The house was in great shape, too. I’d gladly rebook her again”
“Austin was exactly what we needed for a house sitter! He sent plenty of updates and photos and took perfect care of the animals and the house! Highly recommend him!”
“Karen was absolutely amazing! She even took the time out to do a meet and greet before she sat our dogs at our place. My dogs loved her and even my little one that takes a second to warm up to people. She was also very patient with my little one that has a hard time. She was loving and made sure that she felt safe with her. She was consistent with sending me updates, as well as photos and videos! My dogs felt very safe with her and appeared to love her by the end of it all. She even prepared their dinner for them as I was running late for the function I had to attend. She also made time to snuggle them, play, and walk them! I have three little ones and she made sure to make each of them feel loved and cared for. I would highly recommend her to anyone else, and will definitely be hiring her again! She is very trustworthy, kind, and caring! I’m so thankful that we found her on rover.”
“Meghan was great! We loved getting the pictures and updates on our doggos throughout the week. She was super communicative and we could tell that our dogs both loved her. Would have her back anytime!”
“Emma was great staying at our house and watching our dogs and cat. She was very communicative and respectful of our home. Our babies were very comfortable and felt very loved with her.”
“Savanna and her sister did such a fabulous job with our dogs. They took our big dog for a walk every day.Savanna sent us pictures daily. Took our trash to the curb. Checked our mail. Played with them in our backyard. This was our first time using them but will definitely use them again when we go out of town.”
“Megan was incredible in every aspect of taking care of our 1-year old mini schnauzer, Tater Tot. She was so communicative and responsible in every way. She sent so many pictures and videos — it put us at ease! Her dog Murphy was the perfect companion for Tater, so well behaved and played super well with him. They ended up being such great buddies! Could not recommend Megan enough!”
“This was our first in—home pet sitting experience and it couldn’t have worked out better. Ali sent regular updates and pictures to let me know how the dogs were doing. She gave my dog his meds 2x daily as required and let me know each time that she did. We came home to no messes and happy dogs so I can assure you she is a top pick!!”
“Best there is! Amy took such good care of our aging cat Anna, that when we returned, she looked better than ever! Amy watered flowers inside & out, gathered mail daily, washed all bedding! We appreciate Amy & will repeatedly use her for sitting Anna. Anna loves Amy a lot. Bonding with a cat isn’t easy, unless you are the owner. Amy & Anna bonded.....”
“My partner and I went on vacation for a week and left Romeo with Emely. Every day she sent us photos and updates on him. If I could leave 10 stars I would. Romeo loves her. We will most definitely be using her again in the future. Thank you Emely! You’re the best ?”
About: I'm the pet sitter I would like to have. While you are away or at work, they are my responsibility and I care for them like my own. My job is to keep people from feeling anxious or guilty and I do that by caring for their pets while keeping them involved and informed. * Serving Redstone Arsenal * Discount for pets in the County Line area. Rover fits with my lifestyle and I do it full-time. I have regular clients who need pet care while they work and I care for other pets whose people are out of town. Lately, I've been specializing in shy/fearful animals. I wear pheromones (the smell mamas make to tell puppies and kittens everything is okay) like a teenage boy wears Axe body spray. I bring special treats and music developed for pets using neuroscience. And we will take things at the pet's pace. I've done some creative things trying to get pets to eat or come back inside. Unless there is a medical or safety need, everything I do is reward-based and force-free.
About: Experienced, friendly and reliable dog sitter for check-in’s, walking and overnight stays. Recently retired and have a lot of availability to meet schedules. Recently retired, giving me a lot of availability to meet your schedules. I’m available for overnight stays at your house or daily walk-ins I’d like to schedule a phone call or appointment to learn about your pet’s routine, feeding, medication, and daily routine prior to visit.

Pet parents share their Rover experiences - Redstone Arsenal
Amy did an amazing job as always. Our girls love Amy! She sent morning and evening updates and pictures several times a day. She went above and beyond taking our trash to the road and putting the garbage can away. She left the house just the way it was when we left. She even washed the sheets and remade the bed for us. We use Amy every time we travel and appreciate her so much!
Josue saved our trip! Another sitter backed out the night before and he responded almost immediately. He stayed with the dogs and walked them! Walking Vader is a feat if you are not me so, I am very impressed. Absolutely will hire him again and so should you!
I could not have asked for a better experience with Hope while she housesat and watched my (very skittish) cat, Sass. Hope was incredibly patient with him, earning his trust and took excellent care of him. She also helped with several things around the house during our extended trip and was very respectful of the space. I would absolutely recommend anyone needing house and/or pet sitting to consider her!
Halli was great with Max & Odie, she gave us updates a couple times a day with pictures! This was our longest time away since moving to Madison & we were hesitant to be gone so long but once we met Halli we knew we found the right person for us and Max & Odie!

The average cost of House Sitting in Redstone Arsenal is $26 per night as of October 2026. Most bookings cost between $21 and $33 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.

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 Redstone Arsenal 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 Redstone Arsenal 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 Redstone Arsenal 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.
