About: Reliable, Experienced & Ready to Care for Your Pets! Animals have always been a big part of my life. I’ve volunteered at a nature center caring for reptiles, worked as a farm hand, and helped care for my family’s cattle. I’ve also grown up with dogs, cats, chickens, hamsters, and other furry and scaly friends. You can count on me to provide dependable, attentive care tailored to your pet’s needs. Whether they need exercise, playtime, companionship, feeding, or extra patience, I’ll help them feel safe, happy, and loved while you’re away. You’ll enjoy peace of mind knowing your pets are in caring, capable hands and receiving regular attention and care. 💕 Message me to book your pet’s next adventure or care visit! I work full-time (most weeks) in the service industry. I will never work doubles while taking care of your babies. Normal shifts will be from 10-4 or 4-11/12. My management is aware of my use of rover, and is very understanding to slight schedule changes. At my house my animals are spoiled, so I will treat your babies the same. They will get a multitude of cuddles, and just leave any special instructions like meals or medication. (However I am not specialized in injections.)

About: I’ve been a pet owner since my early teens. I have a habit of spoiling my pets and I’ll likely spoil yours while in my care. 😃 I work full time outside of the home. During the summer months someone is home with the pets. I have a doggy door that is accessible for pets to use. My 2 dogs would love to have your pet as a play mate. I have a fenced yard and doggy door for use while I’m away from home. My 2 teenage children are around to give your pets extra love and attention too.

About: I’ve pet sat since 8th grade so about 4 years now, and have gained many clients who I adore! I’ve taken care of dogs of all pups of shapes, sizes, and different needs! I love animals as much as humans so taking care of your baby would be a joy🤗 I’m working part time at a restaurant and the schedule changes weekly, but as long as you’re flexible, I can usually work something out and usually try to check on any animal I’m sitting every 3-4 hours! I love taking dogs on walks, letting them out and giving them all of the snuggles! It really is up to clients preference as to what the animals need, I can do whatever I need!

About: Hi, I’m Morgan! Dogs are my passion, and I’ve spent 12+ years caring for pups of all ages. With 2 years of experience as a veterinary assistant and a background in animal science, I know how to keep dogs happy, healthy, and safe. I love keeping dogs active — a tired pup is a happy pup! I provide dog-sitting, dog-walking, bathing, and drop-ins, following all care instructions carefully and sending picture updates so you can see your furry friend enjoying their day. I currently work full-time, so I’m available after my shift on weekdays and full-time on weekends. I have one friendly dog to keep your pup company and can accommodate shy or special-needs dogs. I also have a spacious yard and access to nearby dog parks during quiet times for safe play. I’d love the opportunity to help keep your dog happy, healthy, and loved while you’re away! I work full-time at a veterinary hospital from 7:00 AM–3:00 PM on weekdays. Outside of these hours, I’m available for drop-ins or pet care as needed. I’m also free on weekends, which allows me to provide flexible care to meet your pet’s schedule and needs. I provide a range of personalized pet care services, including drop-ins, dog-walking, and more. For drop-ins, I visit your home to provide fresh food and water, administer medication if needed, and give plenty of love and attention. I also engage with your pets through playtime, walks, or activities suited to their personality, making sure they feel safe, happy, and cared for while you’re away. If pets are in my care at my home, I ensure a safe, clean, and comfortable environment with attention, playtime, and exercise. I always follow your specific care instructions, from dietary needs to medication and routines, so your pet feels right at home.

This is the second time I have used Sidney. I have really enjoyed having her help with my baby, Lincoln. As always, Sidney is very attentive and really takes time with each visit. We trust her completely and know that Lincoln gets the best care. We will definitely continue to use her for future visits and I highly recommend her to anyone!

My two sons Azul and champ looked fat and fine and like they didn’t miss us much at all! Terrell was on time every day, and he walked them every day and took pictures every day. We were quite well satisfied and relaxed because Terrell took great care of both my boys. Great job will ask for him again.

FAQs for Pet Sitting - Tougaloo

Frequently asked questions about Rover

Rover is the largest marketplace for local pet care. Whether you're looking for pet sitters, dog walkers, or house sitters who specialize in pet sitting, you can narrow your search by entering your ZIP code to find sitters within walking distance in your neighborhood.

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 .

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 , which provides up to 25,000 in eligible veterinary care reimbursement.

Yes, you can find sitters who have experience administering medication or managing dietary requirements. You can also find pet sitters who accept only one pet at a time, which is ideal for anxious puppies 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 request a 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 .

sitters on Rover set their own , 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.
