About: Animals have always been part of my life, from small pets to cats and dogs with all sorts of personality. My chihuahua is my little sidekick and does wonderfully with other pets. I’ve helped care for many friends’ and family members’ fur babies, and I’m committed to giving your pet the same comfort and attention I give my own. I work a typical 9 to 4 during the week, but I have flexibility on my lunch break for quick check‑ins when needed. I’m generally available after 5 PM for walks or visits, and my weekends are wide open for sitting, longer stays, or extra adventures and playtime. Pet care fits easily into my routine, and I’m happy to adjust when I can to make sure your fur babies gets the attention they need. I have a clean, secure fenced‑in backyard that gives dogs plenty of space to relax, explore, and play safely. I live in a quiet culdesac neighborhood that’s not too busy, so walks are easy, calm, and enjoyable for pups of all energy levels. My own chihuahua is friendly, social, and great company for visiting pets. I also have an extra room with toys and a crate that can comfortably fit a medium‑sized dog if needed, so your pet will always have a cozy space of their own.
“Kim did an outstanding job watching my dog and cat, she went above and beyond her responsibilities. I would highly recommend her anytime you need someone to watch or drop in to take care of your fur babies…”
“Kelsie replied quickly to my request to take care of my babies while I had to be away. She was on time and from the looks of the pictures and her comments my babies really enjoyed her company.”
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!
“Pam was very patient with my individual requests and prompt and responding to my text messages. She is a professional, timely and sent reports with photos every day. I would hire her to walk my dogs again.”
“Brianna was such a life saver. I know it can be overwhelming with my pit bulls but she handled everything so gracefully. One of my pups had an accident in her cage which is so unusual but Brianna went above and beyond to clean her and the cage out for me. I’m blessed to have had an amazing Rover helper. She is awesome! She adjusted to the pups so well. I’m sure they miss her already! Will definitely recommend her services!”
“Elizabeth always does amazing with watching our dogs. We never have to worry when we’re out of town. She sends pictures and updates of them being so happy. The dogs truly get excited to see her”
“Cassie was amazing!! She took such great care of Berkeley and he loved having her kiddos help out too!! I was so happy to receive each update - Cassie is detailed and always had a good picture to send when we’re missing our boy 🥰”
“Angela was AMAZING!! Not only did she watch our two Ragdolls over the Christmas holiday, but she was so responsive to their specific dietary needs (one has prescription food) and their individual personalities. Angela is herself a cat owner and it shows! Prompt, kind, professional, and exceeded our expectations. We can’t wait to book her in the future!”
“Philana is a true professional while also being very personable. She took great care of my 3 cats, plants, and was considerate in brining in a delivery. I booked with her very short notice, the day before, and she truly exceeded my expectations! Very thankful to her and the care she provided. 10/10 recommend!”
“Lauren was wonderful and I cannot stress that enough!!! It felt so good to be gone on vacation knowing that she was there to take care of all of our fur babies. They were happy healthy and so happy in every picture she sent. She did an amazing job. She sent pictures every day and messages with any updates on how they’re doing and what they did. (Good or bad LOL) I will definitely be using Lauren in the future and I will certainly recommend her for anyone in my area that needs a great pet sitter. Lauren thank you so much!!! You are soooooooooo amazing!!!”
“I chose Ciara based on her other client reviews and was very happy I did! She was prompt for our meet and greet and did everything perfectly during her visit with our two dogs. She was reliable and very sweet. I highly recommend her!!”
“What can I say? Austin was fantastic. He read our notes on our profile before he showed up, which was impressive. His excitement to meet the animals, which means a lot to us because they're kids, means more than the drop-ins. We wish we found him earlier. If you want someone who is very sharp and very on top of his visits, please don't look anywhere else. Austin is your guy!”
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.
“Karynne is phenomenal! She was so nice and always on time to check on my dog both days we booked her, she made sure there was nothing else that needed to be done before she left and it was greatly appreciated. 🩷 you won’t regret booking her!”

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!
5/5 Stars – Highly Recommended! Elizabeth did an absolutely wonderful job taking care of my cat. From our very first interaction, it was clear that she is a true animal lover who treats pets with the utmost care and respect. She was incredibly reliable and followed all feeding and care instructions perfectly. What I appreciated most were the regular updates and photos she sent, which gave me complete peace of mind while I was away. My cat, who can sometimes be shy around new people, warmed up to her and enjoyed her attention. Elizabeth went above and beyond to make sure my cat felt safe, loved, and comfortable. I cannot thank Elizabeth enough for her exceptional service. I will absolutely be hiring her again in the future and highly recommend her to anyone looking for a trustworthy, compassionate pet sitter!
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.

The average cost for Pet Sitting in Selma on Rover is $16.65 per visit (as of September 2026). However, all sitters set their own rates based on experience, location, and availability.
Rover makes budgeting the cost of Pet 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 Pet Sitting. For more information on service fees, click here .
As of September 2026, there are 3,251 sitters on Rover offering Pet Sitting across Selma. Enter your ZIP code to see which available sitters are closest to your home.
A pet sitter can provide focused care sessions, help your pet’s routine stay on track, or keep you updated on your pet’s mood and energy levels.
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.
If you would like updates while you’re away, you can discuss with your sitter how many or how frequent you’d like those updates to be. The Rover app allows sitters to send photos, videos, and messages about your pet, including how many pee or poop breaks occurred. You can message your sitter at any time through the app and our support team is available 24/7 by email or chat if you have concerns.
The personalized, in-home nature of pet care through Rover can mean more individual attention for your pet.
Many pet parents provide a spare key or arrange a lockbox. You can also exchange keys during the Meet & Greet and show your walker how to use digital fobs or personalized codes. It helps to arrange access to your home, from spare keys to concierge introductions, before pet care begins.
If you live in an apartment or condo, don’t forget to discuss details like buzzer access, codes, or elevator etiquette. These details can help a pet sitter feel more comfortable going in and out of your building.
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 .
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.
Yes, you can find sitters who have experience with handling special pet needs in Selma. On Rover:
- 89% of sitters can help with special care needs
- 94% 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.
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.
