“Carly is the best sitter I’ve found through Rover! Her updates are informative and she quickly caught on to each of my cat’s personalities! She is my go-to sitter and I would recommend her to anyone.”

About: I’ve grown up with two dogs, Stella and Bentley. I frequently foster animals ranging from puppies to adult dogs at my local humane society. I also volunteer with the cats as well! I will care for your pet as my own. I have class during the week but that is only for an hour or two a day. When I am not in class I am at home. I have plenty of time to take care of your pet. I am a very patient pet sitter. I listen and pay attention to what you tell me your dog or cat needs and I go beyond that. I do allow pets to be comfortable where they choose whether that’s on furniture, or on the cold floor. I will make sure your pets feel as comfortable as possible while away from their humans! I do not have any pets that live with me so having a guest pet every now and then is great.

About: I’ve been pet sitting since I was 15 and have cared for everything from playful puppies to pets with medical needs. I also spent three years caring for a senior dog, giving me experience with medication routines, mobility support, and gentle, attentive care. Growing up with both cats and dogs taught me patience, confidence, and how to make every pet feel safe, loved, and understood. As a part‑time fifth‑year architecture student, I have a flexible weekly schedule that allows me to reliably incorporate pet care into my days. I balance studio work with plenty of time at home, which makes it easy for me to provide consistent attention, walks, feedings, and companionship. Pet sitting has been part of my life since I was 15, so building it into my routine feels natural, it’s a job I genuinely enjoy and make space for every week. In a client’s home, I follow their established routines closely, from feeding and walks to medication schedules and preferred play styles. I keep the home tidy, respect all instructions, and make sure pets feel secure while their owners are away. Because I’ve cared for pets with medical needs, puppies, and seniors, I’m comfortable adapting to whatever level of support each pet requires.

About: I raised my first dog at 7, and have been the designated dog trainer, and sitter since. I have fostered over 7 dogs in my lifetime. All different breeds and energy levels. The oldest dog I have adopted was a 15 year old blind dachshund. I am experienced with animals with conditions such as hip pain, aggression, blindness, and hearing impairment. I have two corgis currently, one raised and trained by me, the other a rescue. I am experienced in handling reactive, aggressive dogs, and am equipped to redirect their attention from the trigger with their favorite treats or toy. My work schedule is inconsistent, but I work mornings and early afternoons about 4-5 days a week, and can stop by to feed, or walk early in the morning, and afternoons before work or on my break. I have Sundays off completely I have experience with reactive, very energetic, and or elderly animals. I have looked after just over 7 dogs in my life time, and trained a corgi. I am very patient, it’s their first time on earth too, but assertive if the need arises

“Skylar was absolutely perfect. Two of our dogs are elderly, and need a little extra care. That normally worries us when we have to leave our pets in someone else's care, but Skylar left us with no doubt. She cleaned up their messes, wiped their eye boogers, walked them and just loved them in our absence. Whenever we need help again, we'll be sure to contact her.”

About: *exotics welcome (please message so we can work out details)* I have had a variety of pets throughout my life and have watched many neighbors pets through High school and college. For the last 3 years I have been an Emergency and critical Care Veterinary assistant overnight in a veterinary emergency hospital. I am directly responsible for patient care of critically sick or injured or post-op pets. I am very comfortable caring for chronic conditions such as diabetes, chronic kidney disease, congestive heart failure, etc and will seek care if needed. I am comfortable with cats, dogs and a variety of other pets such as reptiles or birds, I have had them all as patients in the CCW. If your pets are under my care they are treated the same as my pets, whether I am dropping in for visits or they are staying at my house! I currently am in school during the week, I am able to go home for lunch if needed so most pets would not be left alone for longer than 4-5 hours, if not less. Weeknights and weekends I am generally home or in the area so they would not be left alone long on those days either In my home, I have a separate room for pets to stay so that they can be separated from my other pets if needed . I have a fenced in yard and my neighborhood is entirely walkable. If I am doing drop in visits, I will ensure your pets are happy and safe on each visit and give them some attention (if they want it ! )

About: I have had a dog my whole life until I got to college and that is only because it would be too expensive to take care of one. I have taken care of friends and families dogs while they have been out of town, and I would routinely walk dogs owned by the elderly in my neighborhood for them. When I am not in class I can always make room for walking dogs or feeding them. I am very good at keeping you updated on my schedule so there should never be any surprises! My dog had a backyard to play in and I also walked him once or twice a day. He was crate trained, but as he got older we let him sleep wherever. I have taken care of small and big dogs, so size is not an issue. I have taken care of a few aggressive dogs, I usually just give them some space.

About: Hi! I’m a total cat lover with 2 years of pet care experience, and I absolutely adore getting to know each kitty’s unique personality. Whether your cat is playful and curious or shy and independent, I’m patient, gentle, and happy to move at their pace. I love interactive playtime, cozy cuddle sessions (when they allow it!), and making sure litter boxes, feeding routines, and daily care are perfectly handled. My goal is to keep your cat feeling safe, relaxed, and loved while you’re away — and I’ll always send plenty of sweet updates and photos so you can see how they’re doing! 🐾✨ As a hardworking high school student with a flexible routine, I’m available on weekdays after school and most weekends. I plan my schedule carefully so I can give pets my full attention, whether that’s walks, playtime, feeding, or overnight care. When I’m with your pet, they are my priority, and I make sure they get plenty of love, exercise, and consistent care. Your pet’s safety and comfort always come first with me. I carefully follow feeding schedules, medication instructions, and any house rules you provide. I keep a clean, calm environment and make sure doors, gates, and leashes are always secure. I’m attentive, patient, and respectful of your home, and I’ll send regular updates and photos so you feel completely confident while you’re away. 🐾💗

About: I’ve been around animals my entire life and have experience caring for dogs, cats, and a variety of small companion animals. Growing up with pets taught me responsibility, patience, and confidence in providing attentive, compassionate care. I’m currently a Wildlife & Pre-Vet student at Auburn University, where I’m building a strong foundation in animal behavior, health, and welfare. This summer, I’m gaining hands-on experience working with animals in a professional setting, which has strengthened my understanding of behavior, health monitoring, and enrichment. Because of my internship, I’m unavailable Sunday–Wednesday from 7:00 AM–4:30 PM, but I’m available for early morning visits before 7:00 AM, evening visits after 4:30 PM, overnights, and have full availability Thursday through Saturday. In addition to my professional experience, I’ve cared for pets for friends, family, and other clients, providing feeding, walks, playtime, exercise, and plenty of affection while maintaining each pet’s normal routine. Whether your dog is energetic, shy, or a senior needing extra patience, I tailor my care to meet their individual needs. I treat every pet like they’re my own and believe communication is just as important as great care. You can expect regular updates, photos, and the peace of mind that your pet is receiving attentive, compassionate, and dependable care every visit. I have a flexible schedule this summer with a part time internship, so I am available mornings, evenings, and weekends. I may be away for a few hours during the day on some weekdays, but I always plan my schedule to make sure pets are well cared for and checked on consistently. I keep my calendar updated and communicate clearly about availability. When caring for pets, I always prioritize their safety, comfort, and routine. I take the time to learn each pet’s needs, including feeding schedules, exercise, and any special instructions. I make sure pets are always secure on walks and monitored closely during visits. In a client’s home, I respect their space and follow all instructions carefully to keep pets in a familiar and stress free environment. I also provide regular updates and photos so owners feel confident their pets are in good hands.

About: I have taken care of dogs since for around 8 years. I started before I could drive and I would walk over to my neighbors house and feed/ play with their dogs while they were out of town. I have still continued to dog sit every once in a while when I am needed. I am a college student at Auburn University. I am also from Opelika so everyone that I have been dog sitting for in high school, I am still able to help out today. My schedule for next semester is very open and not too busy. I am also available over summer as well. I do have a goldendoodle at my parents house. She is 5 years old and loves playing with other dogs. I also have a car so I will be able to come to my clients house to take care their furry friends for as long as I am needed. Currently I live in a townhouse and would love to take care of your pets here!

About: I’ve taken care of my own dogs as well as my neighbors and friend’s pets since I was in elementary school. As a pre-vet student I have a strong passion for animals, and provide the best care I can! I’m currently a student at Auburn, but over the month of may I have zero plans so I can check up on pets whenever needed! I enjoy and early wake up and am happy bringing dogs on walks anytime! I always ensure I spend ample time with the pets I take care of, especially if they are social. This means playing with dogs outside so that they are worn out and tired for the rest of their home stay, and for cats playing as the cat allows!

About: I’ve been caring for dogs for over 5 years as I have three dogs of my own, so I understand that every pet has a unique personality and routine. I’ve helped care for family and friends’ pets by walking, feeding, playing with them, and making sure they feel comfortable while their owners are away. I’m patient, dependable, and love spending time with animals. Whether your dog needs a quick check-in, a long walk, or some extra attention and playtime, I’ll make sure they’re safe, happy, and cared for as if they were my own. I’m also happy to follow any specific instructions regarding feeding schedules, medications, or special needs. I’m in college but I have plenty of time to care for your pups! I’m available for drop-in visits and dog walks throughout the week and will do my best to accommodate your pet’s normal routine. I know consistency is important, and I’ll make sure your pup gets the care they deserve! Your pet’s safety and comfort are my top priorities! I have three dogs of my own and understand how important it is to trust someone with your pets. During visits and walks, I’ll carefully follow all instructions regarding feeding, medications, exercise, and any special needs. I’m happy to send photo updates during each visit so you know your pet is doing well! I’ll treat your home and your pets with the same care and respect that I would expect for my own family.

Hello Faith, Thank you for your support and care for Beatrice while I was visiting family out of state. I appreciate that you kept me well updated about Beatrice. With her diabetes, she needs insulin injections every day. I found out she had diabetes in January of this year. I was still a bit worried about her. I appreciate you have experience giving insulin and you have a lot of knowledge about animals. Beatrice was relaxed and comfortable with you. Thank you for sending me photos and texts with updates. I would like for you to take care of Beatrice in the future. Thank you so much. Patti

FAQs for Pet Sitting - The Bottle

Frequently asked questions about Rover

The average cost of Pet Sitting in The Bottle is $17 per visit as of November 2026. Most bookings cost between $14 and $23 per visit. On Rover, sitters set their own rates based on factors such as their experience, the length of care, the number of pets, and your pet’s specific needs. As long as your booking dates and pet profiles are accurate, the price shown before you confirm is the total, including any booking fee.

As of November 2026, there are 451 sitters on Rover offering Pet Sitting across The Bottle. Enter your ZIP code to see which available sitters are closest to your home.

You and your sitter can agree on a care schedule that fits your pet’s routine and the sitter’s availability. Pet Sitting can be booked as a one-time or recurring drop-in visit. If you need overnight care or dog walks, you may also be able to book House Sitting or Dog Walking through Rover with the same sitter, provided they offer those services.

Before booking, confirm:

  • the timing, length, and frequency of visits;
  • the care instructions the sitter should follow;
  • which parts of your pet’s usual routine should be prioritized;
  • how often you would like to receive messages, photos, or other updates.

Not every sitter offers the same services, availability, or booking options. Review their profile and discuss the care you need through Rover before booking each service.

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 The Bottle. On Rover:

  • 93% of sitters can help with special care needs
  • 97% can help with giving oral medications or injections
  • 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.

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 Meet & Greet.

sitters on Rover set their own cancellation policy, 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.
