About: I’ve grown up with dogs my whole life. I’ve always loved watching other people’s pets when needed growing up. I have trained a few dogs to sit, stay, paw, and high five! I’m currently in college. I finish my bachelors this December and then I will be going for my masters. I do have a full time job but I have made a goal to pay off my college debt before I graduate. My schedule is flexible. For in house pet sitting for more than a couple of days I will need notice. I cannot watch pets in my home as I live in an apartment and have two furry critters of my own. If I am not in house pet sitting, I will stop by every two to four hours and to love on you baby and let them out.
“Sandy took really good care of my cats and did additional things that like cleaning up cat throw up and vacuuming. Her communication with me about what was going on with my cats was outstanding and sent me many pictures so I could see them.”
About: Hi! I’m Linda, and I’ve always loved animals and the comfort, personality, and joy they bring into our lives. I’m dependable, organized, and genuinely enjoy spending time with pets — whether that’s going for walks, giving them attention during drop-in visits, or simply helping them feel comfortable and cared for while their owners are away or busy. I work full-time at the University of Southern Mississippi, so I understand how important reliability, communication, and trust are. I’m looking to offer flexible evening and weekend pet care and would love to help give pet owners peace of mind knowing their pets are in good hands. I’m happy to provide updates, photos, and extra attention to help both you and your pet feel comfortable. Pet care fits naturally into my routine. I work full-time at the University of Southern Mississippi and have availability during evenings, weekends, and some daytime hours on work-from-home days. I enjoy being active and spending time with animals, so walks and drop-in visits are a great fit for my schedule and lifestyle I focus on making pets feel safe, comfortable, and cared for while keeping their normal routine as consistent as possible. During walks and drop-in visits, I make sure pets get attention, exercise, fresh water, potty breaks, and plenty of care and patience. I also understand how important communication is for pet owners, so I’m happy to provide updates and photos during visits.

I will ask in depth questions about what you are specifically looking for in pet care. Your highest trust and respect is important to me and I want to fufil your needs to the best of my abilities.
About: I have plenty of experience when it comes to caring for dogs, especially big dogs (as a great dane owner). Feeding, walking, cleaning up after them, and even training them. Taking care of multiple pets at a time is no problem! I am currently a college student who only has classes in the mornings so my afternoons and nights are free. If needed, I am available to wake up early before my classes to care for your pets. I will ensure that all animals are accounted for and taken care of. I will make sure all doors are shut and everything is in order. It’s very important to keep anything dangerous out of site and stay alert while caring for animals.

About: I grew up with two dogs ( German shepherd, pitbull) and a cat, and have had two cats for the last 3+ years. I have house sit for my family and roommates on numerous occasions throughout my life. I work a constant 3 weeks on and 3 weeks off in my career, so I have a rigid, consistent and professional availability to you as a pet sitter. Whatever your list of requirements and needs that you have to be met by your animals will be accomplished in a professional manner. I'm a big fan of cats but I love dogs as well.
About: I was a veterinarian technician for over 20 years. Previously, had my own pet sitting business in Flagstaff, AZ. I have a bachelor's degree in wildlife management and spent about 8 years in a zoo setting, taking care of a diversity of animals. I am well versed in the wide range of needs your baby may require. I am currently trying to get my pet sitting business started here in Alabama. So, I have all the time your fur baby might require of me while you are away. Currently, I do not have the capabilities to care for your pet in my own home. That may be a possibility in the future. Thank you.

With years of experience in training and medication administration, I’m dedicated to providing loving and professional care for your pets while you're away!

Fitting them into my schedule is a true treat, and I’m excited to offer your pets the attention and love they deserve while you're away I treat every animal with the same kindness and respect as I do my own, both at home and at work. Your pet will always receive the care, attention, and love they deserve
“Victoria was fabulous! She took great care of our cats, vacuumed the laundry room after scooping litter, and brought packages in off the front porch. We will definitely ask her to come check on our cats again in the future!”
About: I grew up having a cat as my family pet. I’ve also dog sat for work friends and I genuinely love it. I’m young so I have a lot of energy to play with your pet. I’m a licensed realtor in Alabama so I make my own schedule and can work from anywhere so I’m very adaptable. I can work Monday-Saturday after 10am. I live in a house with a large backyard so your pet has plenty of space to play. I also currently do not have a pet of my own so your pet will get my full attention which increases safety.
About: I have had pets in and out of my life throughout my entire childhood. I have dealt with puppies, kittens, fish, and hamsters. Caring for animals comes naturally to me and I want to share the love! I currently work a pretty fast-paced, full-time job, but I do get bored fast. Why not spend my off days caring for some fur babies? I keep my cats on fairly strict schedule with eating, and I try and play with them a few minutes out of every day. Whatever my client prefers, I will accommodate accordingly. Every pet is different and unique and should be treated as such!
About: I have been a pet owner my whole life and love all animals! I also have been a pet caretaker on the side for many years for my neighbors and enjoy taking care of people’s pets while their away! I am a public school teacher and would love to take care of your fur babies! I have a flexible schedule since I’m off all holidays and summer. I have a fenced in yard as well as a screened in patio with a doggy door. My dogs enjoys playing in the yard and we love hanging outside with them. My dogs stay inside and are a big part of our family. We take them for walks in the adjoining neighborhood since they have a sidewalk. I live in a small one street neighborhood where all our neighbors are very close and look out of each other.
“She is a very caring and attentive girl when it comes to taking care of my pet. She took exceptional care of my dog despite his disability. She is a responsible and kind person.”
About: I’ve taken care of my family’s, neighbor’s, and friend’s pets since high school. I have experience with small and large dogs, puppies, and elderly dogs. I love animals so much, and have so much love to give as we don’t have a dog of our own right now. I am an active, stay at home mom to two young kids. They are both in school at the same time for two days a week, so I have that time completely free. I am also available some weekends. I am happy to travel to your home to take care of your animals, take them on walks, and give them plenty of love and attention and play time.
About: Hey y’all! I took a break from pet sitting due to my full time job at the clinic but I’ll be back as of 6/5/26💜Animals have always been part of my life. As a teenager I used to do volunteer work with dog shelters/cat sanctuaries, and I currently have 3 years experience as a kennel technician/vet assistant in a clinic setting. As a stay at home parent/wife, I have a flexible schedule to focus on providing care and attention for your fur babies. (Pets with indoor crate/pen training are a plus in case I have to leave the home during the day at any point to ensure your pets safety) I have recently decided to start working from home, so i am able to provide quality time and attention for your pet while they are in my care. (My weekends are mostly open, but during the summer months we spend a lot of time on the lake/river, so it’s also a plus if you have a dog that loves the water. My dachshund would love a boating buddy!) I have a large, shaded fenced in yard where your pets can freely run and play. When your pets are in my care, they are treated the same as my own. My couch is their couch, and if they want to burrow under the covers or at the foot of the bed, mine will just have to scoot on over and make some extra room, haha. Above I mentioned that crate trained pets are a plus for any time during their stay I have to leave the house. My dachshund is a known chewer/scavenger, so she stays in a large indoor pen if I have to leave the house and it has become a safe space for her.
About: I’ve taken care of pets my whole life. Animals always make me smile. My family relies on me to take care of their pets while they are out of town. I work part time as a server. And will have plenty of time to walk or have a play date with your dog or cat. I will love any and every animal to cross me. I will take care of your pet however it pleases you. I always will have treats on hand as well.
“London was great. I worked the entire week of Thanksgiving and she was there to help every single day. She was punctual and very respectful, but most importantly was Daisy. She is a little standoffish but warmed up to London faster than anybody I’ve seen. That was worth it all. Definitely recommend her.”
About: I grew up with cats, dogs, turtles, lizards… basically anything I could get away with bringing home. I have been a pet parent to my cats, Maybell for the last 10 years, and Gia for the last 6. They are precious girls that I love dearly, and I have extensive experience with varieties of dog breeds from working at a boarding and grooming facility! I work full time as a physical therapist during the week days and miss getting to have dogs around to love on! As an outdoors fanatic and someone who seeks movement throughout my days, being an add on walker/per sitter in my free time is a dream job of a way to get to be around the pets I love (but can’t currently have due to a skiddish older cat!) and my passion for taking care of others! I am comfortable with medication dispensing due to previously caring for highly medically complex family pets, as well as extensive time working at a boarding and grooming facility which taught me a myriad of tips for caring for easy and more finicky pets all alike!! I can provide and manage crate care, walking, running, and hiking experiences for your pet during a stay but also as happy to couch potato with your pup!

Madison was great looking after our pets. She was promptly on time everyday, efficient at checking on each pet and taking the time to play with them a little, and thorough at communicating the status daily. She is an all star and will get our business from this time on. In short, she was awesome.

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 Semmes 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 Semmes 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 .
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.
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 Semmes with recurring or weekly availability, select "Repeat Weekly" and which days you’d like them to care for your pet.

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.
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.
