“Best sitter! She took care of my 3 cats for 5 days. Followed all food, water, litterbox, and play instructions. Lots of pics and videos sent. She even cleaned up the glass my cat broke! And she fed my aquarium with shrimp for me. Definitely will hire again if I need another sitter before I move :) Thanks, Casey!”
About: Hi! I’m a lifelong animal lover and experienced dog mom who knows how important it is to find someone you truly trust with your pets. I’m comfortable with dogs of all sizes and personalities, including large and strong breeds, and I believe every pet deserves patience, affection, and care tailored to them. When your pet is with me, they’ll be treated like one of my own. I’m happy to follow their normal routine, whether that means walks and playtime, lots of snuggles, or simply keeping them company while you’re away. I pay close attention to each pet’s individual personality, comfort level, and needs rather than taking a one-size-fits-all approach. I also know how reassuring updates can be when you’re away from your furry family member, so you can expect plenty of communication, photos, and little updates along the way. My goal is for you to feel completely comfortable knowing your pet is safe, happy, loved, and getting plenty of attention. 🐾❤️ I have a very flexible schedule and am available throughout the day, including mornings, afternoons, evenings, and weekends. This allows me to easily accommodate your pet’s usual routine, whether they need walks, meals, potty breaks, playtime, or just some extra company and cuddles. 🐾 I care for pets in my home and/or my client’s home by following their usual routines and providing attentive, personalized care. Depending on the service, this may include walks, meals, fresh water, potty breaks, playtime, medication, grooming, and plenty of companionship and cuddles. I have a very flexible schedule and am available throughout the day, including mornings, afternoons, evenings, and weekends, allowing me to accommodate each pet’s needs and routine. 🐾
“Janette was awesome! The dogs really liked her right off the bat, and getting picture updates while away was nice. We will definitely use her services again in the future.”
“She came immediately during my last minute booking and went above and beyond for my pups! She’s a dog whisperer, I highly recommend her to anybody who needs pet services!”
“Jasmine was awesome and I would definitely use her services for my outdoor cat again! She made sure to send me detailed updates every day along with pictures. She is very friendly, great with animals, and easy to talk to, I would recommend her to anyone who needs help caring for their pets!”
About: Hello! I’m a dependable, compassionate pet lover who works from home, so your pet will receive plenty of attention, supervision and companionship throughout the day. Whether your pet loves to play, explore, or simply relax, I’ll make sure they feel safe, comfortable and right at home. I have a large, securely fenced backyard that’s perfect for supervised playtime and exercise. I also have experience administering medications to both dogs and cats, and I’m happy to follow your pet’s routine and any special care instructions. I know every pet has a unique personality, so I take the time to get to know their needs and make sure they feel happy and stress-free while you’re away. You’ll receive regular updates and photos so you can have peace of mind knowing your furry family member is in loving, capable hands. I look forward to meeting you and your pet! I work full time from home, so I provide full-time supervision and attention to pets in my care. I am happy to accommodate any routine your pet may need, including walks, outdoor time, and feeding/sleep schedule. I have a big, fenced yard and two dogs of my own to keep your fur child company during their stay. I am also able to crate your dog or keep them separated if needed with doggy gates. Safety is my top priority!
About: I have taken care of puppies since I was a little girl. My parents raised Dachshunds so there were always puppies. I have had dogs myself since then, sometimes having two or three at a time. Neighbors, family and friends have asked me to take care of their dogs, boarding them, bathing them and taking them for walks. I have even cut some of their nails at times. Their animals have always happy to come to my house to visit, get treats, and to just get attention. I am a retired school teacher and am recently widowed, so I live alone with my little dog. I have plenty of time to care and love for more dogs I have a large fenced yard and patio for your dog to run and play ball or share toys with my little 4 year old Miniature Dachshund, Lucy. There is also time for cuddling and relaxing.
“One of the first people to meet my new puppy & she really took the time to get to know her and us! Extremely communicative and accommodating. Would highly recommend & continue to book with her ❤️”
About: I will take great care of your fluffy! I have had years of experience with both house pets and farm animals! I’ve spent many years working on farms and have worked professionally as an in-home pet sitter for two years. I’ve had experience with elderly animals, puppies/kittens, special needs animals, and with administering medications. I am home full time, with plenty of availability to care for your fur babies! The backyard is fully fenced and there is a dog park close by! We have a spacious house that your pup is free to roam. The backyard is medium sized, safe and well enforced. We have a safe quiet neighborhood that is excellent for long walks, and the dog park is only three minutes down the road!
About: I worked as a kennel tech for a dog trainer for 2 years and have been volunteering with a dog rescue that saves abused and neglected dogs for the past 6 years. These experiences, as well as raising my own dogs, have given me the knowledge to work with most dogs, but my passion is working with fearful, anxious, and reactive dogs. Working on their time to gain their trust is my specialty and passion. I have experience working through basic obedience, counter conditioning, confidence building, muzzle training, gear shyness, and cooperative care. I also have experience working with dogs that require more intensive care due to feeding routines (such as making homemade food or strict feeding schedules with medications) and grooming maintenance (frequent or routine baths due to coat type or skin conditions). Know that under my care, your pup will be with someone who understands them as an individual and can meet them where they are at. For Walks/Drop Ins: I have pretty varied availability throughout the day on weekdays due to my work schedule. For Housesitting: I typically need to be out of the house anywhere from 4-10 hrs depending on my shift at work. Your dog's comfort as well as yours are my top priorities, so I do require a meet and greet before any service I provide. This allows me to meet your pet and see their behavior before a service, and lets you see how your pet feels around me. I provide daily updates with pictures, with the ability to provide more frequent updates at your request. I also strictly follow any instructions and routines laid out for me regarding a pet's care.
“Dawn was very dependable and supportive while we were out of town. Not only did we get to comeback to some pampered pooches but she was very helpful to clean up their toys and messes during our absence. Definitely will look to book Dawn next time too!”
About: I have been caring for dogs since I was five years old. My love of animals means your pet will be well taken care of. I am currently working full time but with my boys being all grown I have plenty of free time at nights and on the weekends. I provide safe loving walks, lots of playtime and lots of love to animals. Pet’s have always been a very large part of my family.
“I was really worried to leave Benjamin, but Laura made me feel at ease. Her knowledge of reptiles was reassuring and I would 100% recommend Laura for the care of any of your scaly or furry family members.”
“Sophia is so sweet and thoughtful! We will continue to book her for our pups! She is kind, cares about our dogs, follows our instructions super well, and communicates with us throughout the time she is with them.”
About: I have been around animals my entire life, and have also owned or taken care of a wide array of types of animals. I have plenty of knowledge and experience to take great care of yours too. I work part-time. But I can best be of service in weekday afternoons/evenings. And also weekends on afternoons/evenings. Basically the second half of the day timeline works best for me. I care greatly for them, especially in terms of their physical health, mental health and overall wellbeing. I pride myself on creating a comfortable environment for animals to thrive.
“Jennifer is beyond patient and brave with our 17yo deaf and blind dog and our usually fearful, anxious dog. Her visit reports are detailed and specific. She was prompt and handled everything exactly as planned/expected. We have already booked Jennifer for our next trip!”

Dog parents share their Rover experiences - Selma
This was my first time hiring someone I didn’t know to visit our dogs while my wife and I were at work, and Kelsie made everything so easy. It put our minds at ease seeing how professional she is and how good she is with our dogs. With 3 dogs, all with different behaviors, she handled herself well with them. Would definitely book with her again.
Tara is an amazing sitter for our fur babies. She is very knowledgeable and comfortable with the dogs. The dogs loved her from the moment they met her. She was fantastic in making sure our older dog took her medicine. I really appreciate that she took the time to play with them during her visits. We loved getting updates and knew our pups were in great hands. I would highly recommend Tara if you want someone who will love your dogs as much as you do.
John is one of the most courteous and caring people I have met in awhile. Roxie loved him immediately and she is not always loving toward people. She loved his visits and was obviously in great spirits when we got home. I could watch them play in out backyard on our Ring camera. Thank you, John you are highly prized, and recommended for anyone in the Selma area.

Whether you’re at the office for the day or traveling for a few nights, a pet sitter can offer potty breaks during a Selma stroll, cleaning the litter box, or making sure your pet has on-time food or water refills. For daytime services like walking and drop-ins, you can also request sitters to send a report card with every visit.
Tip: You can discuss your specific arrangements with a pet sitter on Rover to what fits you, your pet, and your sitter’s needs. To find what their special skills are, look at the "Skills" and "Pet care experience" sections on their profile.
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 Selma 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!
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 .

A Meet & Greet is a short introductory meeting between you, your dog, 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.
While Rover doesn’t offer traditional subscription services, some sitters offer recurring bookings for services like home visits and dog walking. Recurring services come with their own perks, such as flexibility to modify services (up to five weeks in advance), automatic billing, Rover Card updates, and same-day cancellations.
To find sitters in Selma with recurring or weekly availability, select "Repeat Weekly" and which days you’d like them to care for your pet.

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.
