“Caroline was very sweet with our babies! She was communicative and was able to balance her job and caring for our animals well! We were worried getting back on time because of flight delays but she made us feel at ease that she would ensure our babies were taken care of! She’s the first person I’ve hired to care for our pets that stripped the bed, washed the sheets and towels and remade the bed, so a huge plus getting back from a work trip! Would def hire again!!”
“Raylin stayed with my dogs at our house for six days while we were on vacation. I think she did great with my pups! We would definitely welcome her back next time we need a dog sitter!!”
“Olivia provided wonderful care for our two dogs while we were out of town. She spent a lot of time with our pups and we appreciate that so much since they are used to having us around a lot! One of my dogs tends to be very anxious and does not easily warm up to new people, but she loved Olivia right from the meet and greet! Will definitely reach out to her again the next time we need a sitter and would recommend her to everyone!”
About: I’ve worked at a couple pet car businesses like a veterinary boarding facility, to now becoming a groomer , I’ve been around animals all my life little, big, and everything in between! I currently work at a grooming company, Ans the hours fluctuate , and I’d love to take care and love on more after work hours when you need, I get off anywhere between 3-5 and I’m available anytime after! Oh how I’ve grown to love all animals so very much And love creating bonds with the ones I can’t have at home! I take my dog out anytime she’s feeling anxious or looking like she’s needing to go to that bathroom. I always keep water in her bowl. She gets lots of attention! I’ve worked at a boring facility, so I can accustom to any dite regulations! I’m here to take care of you animal as if it was you !!
“Abigail did an excellent job staying at my house and taking care of our 2 dogs and 2 cats while we went out of town. She is very trustworthy and I really appreciated the daily photos!! I will call Abby next time for sure. Thanks Abby!!”
“Corey did a great job taking care of our two small dogs. One of our dogs is a rescue and does not like strangers. She is also anxious and refuses to go outside when we are away. Corey handled everything perfectly. We have booked him again already.”
“Did such a fantastic job with my two dogs. Sarah kept me informed about my dogs while I was away, with texts and images. She would walk the animals and spend extra time with them and give them love. I would highly recommend.”
“I’m giving her four stars because I truly appreciated her stepping in at the last minute when my original sitter canceled. She also went above and beyond helping with my pool, including draining excess water. A few things concerned me when I returned. My blinds had been chewed, and the food in my puppy Bosco’s bowl appeared to be adult dog food. The adult dogs’ food bin was also empty despite having additional food available, so I was unsure whether everyone received the correct food. I had left detailed written feeding instructions. The house felt very hot when I arrived around midnight, with the thermostat set to 75 degrees. Bosco’s crate was also completely covered, whereas I normally leave the front open so he can see out. I’m grateful for her help and availability. A little more attention to the written instructions and reaching out with any questions would have made the experience better.”
About: I’ve taken care of pets since before I can remember, family and family friends relied on me to walk, feed, bathe, and petsit their dogs knowing I loved it! I’ve worked with all size dogs and all personalities! I’m currently a college student so I’ll have plenty of time to play with your pup! I have classes for 2 hours out of the day on weekdays but open availability after 12pm and I’m completely free on weekends! I prefer to care for pets in their own home so they can stay in a familiar environment. I stick closely to your pets usual routine so everything feels normal while you’re away! I will make sure they get plenty of attention and exercise! I also will send regular updates and photos if wanted! My overall goal is to make sure your pet feels safe, happy and loved!
“I can’t recommend Debra enough! She stayed overnight with our dogs for several nights, and we couldn’t have asked for a better sitter. From the very beginning, her communication was wonderful. She made scheduling easy, kept us updated throughout our trip, and sent plenty of photos and messages so we always knew our dogs were happy and well cared for. She went above and beyond by taking them on lots of walks, spending so much time playing with them, and giving them all the love and attention they needed. It gave us such peace of mind knowing they were not only being cared for but were genuinely having a great time while we were away. We’re so grateful for everything Debra did and will absolutely be booking with her again. If you’re looking for someone who is kind, reliable, communicative, and truly cares about your pets, I highly recommend Debra!”
About: I’ve been caring for animals my entire life, from cats and dogs to reptiles, birds, and small animals. I currently have four cats of my own who are truly part of my family, and I’ve cared for friends’, neighbors’, and family members’ pets for many years. I’m comfortable caring for animals of all ages and personalities, including providing medication when needed. My goal is always to make every pet feel safe, comfortable, loved, and cared for just as they would be in my own home. And yes, I’m always happy to spoil them a little, too! My work schedule is generally 3 PM–11 PM, although the exact hours can vary, so I ask for about one week’s notice whenever possible to make sure I can provide the best care for your pets. For both drop-in visits and house sitting, I treat caring for your pets like a second job and plan my schedule accordingly. I’m happy to schedule drop-in visits around my work hours, including before and after work. For house sitting, when I’m not working, I’ll be at your home with your pets. When I do need to leave, it will primarily be to care for my own animals at home before returning. I’m committed to making sure your pets receive consistent attention, companionship, and care throughout their stay. The only exception would be if a pet requires specialized care or treatment during my work hours. I’m always happy to discuss your pet’s specific needs beforehand to make sure we’re a good fit. I provide my own cats with consistent, dependable care and make sure they have everything they need to stay happy and healthy. They are all young, healthy, and up to date on their vaccinations, and I’m experienced with the everyday care that keeps pets comfortable and well cared for. When caring for pets in their own home, I’ll follow their normal routines as closely as possible, including feeding schedules, medications, litter care, playtime, and plenty of attention. I’ll also treat your home with the same care and respect I would expect for my own. My priority is making sure your pets feel safe, comfortable, and loved while you’re away.
About: I absolutely love both cats and dogs. I am willing to care for animals in my home or your home, whichever you prefer. I am available for long term and short time care. I am currently working part time but would prefer pet sitting. With enough bookings I would be able to quit my part time job. My shifts right now are mostly 3 to 6 hours. I have a small fenced yard if you prefer your pets stay at my home. My back door has access to the fenced yard. Your pets would have free reign of my home including furniture and beds.
“I cannot say enough amazing things about Chelbi. She provided me so much reassurance and took such good care of my boys. One of my babies requires lots of medications and she was on top of everything. I have never felt so at ease with a dog sitter. Our babies were beyond happy when we got home and I can tell they were cared for so well!!!! You will not regret hiring Chelbi!!!!”

About: Hi! My name is Mariah, and I’m excited to start offering dog-sitting services. I’ve always loved dogs and enjoy spending time with them, whether that means going for walks, playing, giving them lots of attention, or simply keeping them company. I’m a caring, patient, and responsible person, and I understand that every dog has their own personality and needs. I’ll take the time to make your dog feel safe, comfortable, and loved while you’re away. Your pet’s safety and happiness are very important to me!

About: I have helped raise and train 4 dogs. I dog sit my parents golden retriever and Bernadoodle anytime they go out of town. I love all animals and would love to take care of them! I currently work the dinner shift at Oso in orange beach. I typically only work 3-9/10 and would be available anytime during the day and can even stop by after I get off for a night walk and treats. I live in an apartment so I am unable to bring in extra pets but can easily adapt to your pets routine in your home.
“Shelby was great with our fur babies, she is an excellent pet/house sitter. We were gone for 5 days and she texted & sent pictures am/pm. We had great peace of mind knowing that Mia and O'lover were in good hands. In fact, when we arrived home my kids looked a little disappointed it was us and not Shelby...lol. Thanks Shelby for loving up our kiddos.”

The average cost of House Sitting in Robertsdale is $41 per night as of October 2026. Most bookings cost between $26 and $62 per night.

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 Robertsdale 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 Robertsdale 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 Robertsdale 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.

- 92% of sitters can help with special care needs

- 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.
