“Jada is amazing!! We have used her several times and she exceeds our expectations every time. She is always punctual, very communicative and we always get lots of photos and updates.”
“Kelsie was absolutely wonderful! This was our first time using Rover and leaving our dog with someone other than family. Our dog is typically very skiddish, anxious, and isn’t comfortable with other people, but she warmed up to Kelsie almost instantly. Kelsie made her feel comfortable and cared for, she provided us with pictures and updates throughout the day, and eased our worries. We are so grateful we had Kelsie to stay with our girl, and we will be sure to use her again in the future.”
“Wonderful experience for both our pups and us! Thalia was super responsive, cheery, and the pups really responded well to her even while we were away. Would happily have her house/pet sit for us again.”
“Matthew was simply incredible. He provided constant updates, pictures and walks every day. Took this job on short notice and made us feel incredibly comfortable while we were away. He’s a great choice and we look forward to continuing our relationship with him! ❤️”
“This was ourfirst experience with Rover and we could not have been more pleased with Madison! She cared for our pets as if they were her own. Prior to her visit, we had a vet emergency and explained the issue and asked her to keep an extra eye out him. Well our pet had the issue come up while away and Madison did such a great job notifying immediately and took to the vet to receive the medical attention. In addition, during her visit, she sent updates on all the other pets. I highly recommend Madison!!”
“Victoria exceeded all expectations! I have 2 cats (15 & 6) that both required different levels of care and Victoria was able to handle both of them. She was very thorough in her prep and we had a video consult to go over all expectations, requests, questions, etc. She was detailed and asked questions I hadn’t even thought to cover. During the pet sitting, she kept me updated at all time and provided pictures to let me know the girls were doing okay. My 15 year old cat requires multiple medications that can sometimes be difficult to administer and she was able to administer with no issues. Nothing about this was a negative experience and I would recommend her to anyone!! I will definitely be rebooking her in the future.”
“Samuel was fantastic!! We have never left our girls with anyone but family before, so Samuel came for a meet and greet before we booked and he put us at ease. Both dogs really liked him from the start. He stayed at our house for 3 nights and sent multiple pictures and updates every day! It really helped us to enjoy our vacation knowing the girls were in good hands!! Thanks Sam!! A+++++”
“Leandra took great care of our pup and kitty and home! She was very flexible with our schedule changes and followed our very specific instructions we left as well as sent many updates to ease us since this was our first getaway leaving the babies behind. On her way out our puppy licked her which was evident she loved her time with her. Thank you for your help we will definitely be re-booking for future getaways!”
“Kallie did a fantastic job taking care of my 3 fur babies while I was away on a 10-day vacation! Very responsive and the pups loved her. Highly recommend her services and I will definitely use her again!”
“Good service: Good communication and promptness, excellent rates, and my dog seemed pleased. I’ll definitely use Soraya again if needed in that area (probably in 2 months from now).”
“We always request Angela as our dog sitter our dog just loves her and she’s very good at always providing pictures to me and activity reports for our dog when we are gone we have never had any kind of a issue with her.”
About: I’ve been around dogs for my entire life and have developed a strong understanding of their behavior, energy levels, and individual needs. I’m comfortable caring for dogs of all ages, from energetic puppies who need structure and consistency to senior dogs who may require a slower pace, extra patience, or medication. I prioritize safety, consistency, and clear communication with owners, so you always feel confident your dog is in good hands. I’m very mindful of maintaining each pet’s normal schedule and making sure they feel comfortable and well cared for, even on the days I’m working. I’ll maintain your pet’s normal schedule as closely as possible, including feeding times, walks, playtime, and any medications if needed. I’ll also keep the home tidy and can provide photos. No matter the service, I prioritize safety, communication, and making sure each pet feels happy and stress-free.
“I hate to say how awesome Michelle is because we want her all to ourselves. She works well with our tempermental old dogs. Dependable & loves her work. We can not say enough good things about her. ”
“Grey was an absolute delight! He consistently went above and beyond to ensure the well-being of our fur babies. He diligently took care of them, kept us informed and updated daily, and showed great consideration for our home. We would be thrilled if Grey could watch the fur babies again!”
“Evelyn was AMAZING. She took such good care of my Shiloh guy. She sent me so many pictures and videos and was so reliable and responsive. And the pictures she sent me of Shiloh I knew he felt loved and comfortable 🥹 she will definitely be my go to!!!”
“I can't say enough good things about Alexis! She stayed with our three dogs for two nights, and she was absolutely fantastic. She was incredibly attentive, especially with their medication needs, and she really understood our shepherd and pitbull, who are usually a bit uneasy with new people. We came home to happy, calm pups, and we are definitely planning to rebook with her in the future. She also kept us updated on how everyone was doing and provided pictures. Highly recommend her!!!!”
“Wonderful experience! Sara helped me out at the last minute when my schedule changed. She also extended her stay with my pups because a storm had come in and one of my dogs hates thunder. I’m so grateful she was there to ease my worries when I had to be away at work. Will definitely use her again in the future and would recommend her to anyone I know.”
“**Professional + Caring + Respectful** This was my first time booking a Rover house stay so I was really nervous. Odalys made the entire process so easy, even agreeing to a meet and greet a few days before my planned travel to make sure it was a good fit, and it was. She was very patient with me and my pups, followed the care instructions perfectly, sent multiple pictures and updates throughout each day that I was away, and was very respectful of my home. I could tell from the pics that my stranger averse pups really warmed up to her so I know what she was kind to them. I plan to book her again and would highly recommend her. Her responsiveness, attention to detail, and kindness really set the bar!”
“Emoni is an awesome pet sitter. She took excellent care of our two dogs and cat. She was very responsible, responsive and accommodating. We already booked her for Thanksgiving and the dogs are looking forward to their buddy coming back to play.”

Nancy was so great in looking after our fur babies! She had great communication, sent regular updates, and the house was left in perfect condition. Even our timid cat brought Nancy her favorite toy to play fetch. Would absolutely recommend Nancy for pet/house care!
Love love love! Jasmine was an angel! She came to sit for us while we were already out of town. We unfortunately did not get to meet her, but our dogs loved her right away. She was sweet to them, sent lots of pics, and went above and beyond the call to make sure our poochies were taken care of. Do not hesitate to hire her.
Stephanie is incredible with both cats and dogs! She asked all the questions she needed and followed our routine beautifully. This truly helped especially with keeping up my dog’s training. She sent plenty of photos and was a joy to work with. Thanks again Pink Paws Lady!
Ka'rynne was wonderful, checking in regularly and sending pictures and video. My dogs were very relaxed and displayed regular behavior, playing, etc... She was very respectful of my house and left it in the same condition I left it. I will use Ka'rynne in the future without hesitation.
Tiffany did such an amazing job with our Lelo! She also went above and beyond the care with helping with the watering of the plants and other helpful things around the house while we were on vacation. I would definitely recommend her and will contact her again for care for Lelo! 💕

Frequently asked questions about Rover
The average cost for House Sitting in Selma on Rover is $31.08 per night (as of August 2026). However, all sitters set their own rates based on experience, location, and availability.
Rover makes budgeting the cost of House Sitting easy. As long as your dates and pet profiles are correct, the price you see before you book is the same price you pay for House Sitting. For more information on service fees, click here .
As of August 2026, there are 1,864 sitters on Rover offering House Sitting across Selma. 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 Selma 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 Selma 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 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!
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.
Yes, you can find sitters who have experience with handling special pet needs in Selma. On Rover:
- 88% of sitters can help with special care needs
- 96% can help with giving oral medications or injections
- 97% 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.
