“Aunya watched my dog for me while I was out of town. My dog is an anxious rescue, and Aunya did so well with her! I’m glad I could have someone trustworthy and reliable to care for my fur baby.”
“Malia has been fantastic with our nervous shepherd, Selkie. I am very cautious about who I leave her with and Malia handled her fabulously, made sure she had the best time and keep us updated with photos the whole time we were away. It was super reassuring and so happy she could take care of her both times we have been away. Highly recommend and will 100% be calling upon her to pet sit for us in the future!”
“Savannah is absolutely fantastic! My 4 month old Schnauzer “Cosmosis” is an extrovert and loves everyone, but he ABSOLUTELY adored Savannah. She is a genuine good soul - and he LOVED her to pieces. I have never seen him act that way so quickly before. We will absolutely use her again. Very trustworthy.”
About: Alongside taking care of my own pets, I have three years of professional experience working with hundreds of dogs daily at a pet care facility. I have been professionally trained to handle feeding, bathing, and medications, including insulin injections and needles, while maintaining clear and professional communication with owners. I have experience handling dogs of all ages, from newborn puppies to dogs in their golden years, as well as a wide range of sizes—from Chihuahuas weighing under 3 pounds to large Dalmatians and Rottweilers weighing well over 120 pounds. I treat every pet as if they were my own, and my number one goal is to make sure your pet is well cared for, comfortable, and feels just as loved and secure as they would if you had never left. I am currently a full time student. My week is when I am busiest: Monday and Wednesday I am in class from 8am - 2pm. Tuesday and Thursday I am in class from 1pm - 4pm. I live in an apartment with a fairly strict pet policy so they cannot stay with me personally. Otherwise, I am more than willing to take care of a pet in your home, learn your routes and routines while getting by to know your beloved pet.
“Another great experience! Highly communicative, home was well cared for and we look forward to booking for our third and fourth vacations shortly with Ashley. Don’t look to anyone else to watch your home and animals in the region she covers.”
“Felicity was great, very caring and patient. One of my dogs became agitated and missed me. She remained calm and understanding the whole time and made this a successful sitting situation. This was my first time having my pets sat for, so I was nervous about how it might go. She was professional and understanding with me; keeping me informed along the way. I trust her for future needs if needed. My cats absolutely adored her.”
“Meagan was great! She stayed in our home with our 3 dogs & 1 cat for a week—the animals were rarely left alone & the house was just as we left it. We can’t wait for our next trip now that we’ve found Meagan!”
“Reagan was the best! She is a good communicator, left the house the way she found it and my dog was very happy when we arrived. She also stayed a bit later because our flight was delayed so we didn’t have to worry about our dog being taken care of. I highly recommend Reagan!”
“Shelby was incredibly responsive and sent us so many pictures and videos while she was with Rocky! She gave him lots of love, and attention. She went above and beyond to care for our baby and even volunteered to take him on walks even though he can be a bit reactive sometimes. Best dog sitter we’ve ever had for our anxious dog. We highly recommend!!”
“I would recommend Madison to anyone! She is amazing - super communicative, great care for our two dogs, also nice to have in our home. She went above and beyond for our dog that was on medicine and had to wear a cone during her stay.”
About: I have a very flexible schedule when it comes to taking care of your babies, just know that they will have a fun time hanging out with me I can keep up the energy. Have had pets my whole life in my house and know how to meet their needs well, looking to break into the pet care scene to help raise some funds for college. I am a college student that works on campus through academic departments but my schedule is quite flexible since I don't have in person classes that often. Availability is generally Sunday afternoons, all-day Tuesdays, all-day Thursdays, mornings on Fridays, all-day Saturdays, but I can work with other times as needed. The most relevant pet experience that I have is taking care of my childhood dog Brodie for a lot of his life, that was my responsibility after getting back from school. And he lived until the ripe age of 17 so I'd say I did a pretty good job of keeping him safe, happy, and healthy.
“Christie did an amazing job caring for our home & our pups during our house sitting. I was informed & updated with photos and information often. Christie is a polite and courteous individual! She also completed a multitude of household task while sitting for us. If I could give her more than 5 start, I would! ☺️”
About: Hi! My name is Elena, and caring for animals has always been a natural part of my life. I understand that pets aren’t just pets—they’re family—and I treat every animal in my care with patience, respect, and genuine affection. I’m attentive, calm under pressure, and very observant of behavior changes, which helps me keep pets safe and comfortable. Whether your dog needs a relaxing walk, structured routine, or extra reassurance while you’re away, I tailor my care to their individual needs. Pet care fits naturally into my daily and weekly routine. I plan my schedule around walks, feedings, playtime, and check-ins so pets receive consistent attention, structure, and care throughout the day. I prioritize safety and trust at all times. I carefully follow each pet’s routine, feeding instructions, and house rules. I keep environments clean, secure, and calm, supervise pets closely, and provide regular updates so owners feel confident and informed.
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.
“Vivien did an excellent job caring for my aging feline on the 4th of July when I had to be away from her. Throughout the evening of fireworks explosions, Vivien kept my Kitty calm and soothed her so that she felt safe. She stayed with her overnight and left when all was well the next morning. The peace of mind this gave me was tremendous. Her communication with me was excellent and she left my home in the same great condition that she found it. I definitely recommend Vivien for you Feline or Canine pet sitting needs and for overnight stays if necessary. I will definitely be calling on Vivian again for her pet care services.”
About: I’ve been around animals my whole life. Indoor or outdoor, I know each animal has a different personality, and I am very patient and understanding when it comes to pets. I’m definitely an animal lover and would love to take care of your pet and provide a positive and enriching experience. Please consider me! ❤️ My primary job is Airbnb management, which is done from mostly my phone, so I have plenty of room to operate off of your time/schedule. I have a fenced in back yard (great for dogs) and a screened in sunroom (cats love it) and am very respectful when it comes to other peoples property.

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!

Frequently asked questions about Rover
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.
As of October 2026, there are 369 sitters on Rover offering House Sitting across Redstone Arsenal. 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 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.

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.
