About: I grew up with dogs and have always loved having them around! I have been my friends and family go to pet sitters whenever they need some extra help. I love to go on walks and spend time out doors with animals and get to know the dog’s personality’s. I am currently working a full time job with flexible hours that allows me to use my time to spend with your pet! I love to play walk and hang out with your pet. Nightly walks are already a big part of my routine and I will take any excuse for some extra movement. I love being active and playing with your four legged friends! I have a large fenced in back yard waiting for your sweet pup! We don’t currently have a dog and we would not be in the position to cover vet bills should they arise but my house is ready as soon as that day comes! Dogs are welcome throughout the home and we take precautions to ensure a toxin free environment.
“Mallory was great! She stayed at our home and took care of Mr & Ms Wiggle Butts. Sweet, kind and down to earth. Both of our fur babies loved her. Definitely will book with her again!”

About: I’ve always been an animal lover and have experience caring for pets with different personalities, routines, and needs. One of my most meaningful experiences was caring for our senior Pit Bull through the end of his life while he was battling heartworms. I helped make sure he was comfortable, cared for, and received plenty of love and attention during his senior years. This experience taught me the importance of patience, compassion, and paying close attention to an animal’s individual needs. I’ll treat every pet in my care like they’re part of my own family. I’m currently pursuing my own LLC so I will have plenty of time for your pups! My business if professional organization, if you are needing some help please don’t hesitate to ask. For dog walks, I’ll make sure each dog gets a safe, enjoyable walk that fits their energy level and routine. I’ll always follow the owner’s instructions regarding feeding, medications, bathroom breaks, and any special needs. For overnight care in the client’s home, I’ll keep your pet on their normal routine as much as possible so they feel comfortable while you’re away. I’m happy to provide walks, playtime, meals, potty breaks, cuddles, and plenty of companionship. I’ll also make sure your home is kept clean and cared for while I’m there. My goal is for your pets to feel safe, loved, and comfortable while you’re away.
About: My parents used to breed dogs when I was growing up and I’ve always loved animals. I have multiple animals including dogs and cats that i absolutely adore!! I own a salon in downtown Sheffield and am very flexible with my time. Animals make me happy in my day to day life so i can’t wait to meet all new ones🥰 I can take them out when needed, play with them and make sure they get their exercise, give medicine if needed and prepare food, i can also just spend time with them if that’s what they need.
About: I take pride in sticking to your pet’s normal routine as closely as possible. Whether that means a specific feeding schedule, medications, supplements, slow feeders, crate time, potty breaks, special diets, favorite walking routes, or any other little details, I’m happy to follow your instructions exactly. I know those routines matter and help your pet feel safe and stress free while you’re away. I’ve cared for all kinds of dogs and cats, from playful puppies and kittens to seniors, anxious pets, high energy dogs, and multi pet households. I know every pet is different, and I enjoy getting to know their personalities and what makes them feel comfortable. Communication is really important to me, so you can expect lots of updates, photos, and messages throughout my stay. My goal is for you to enjoy your time away knowing your pets are happy, comfortable, and being cared for just the way they’re used to. Im currently working part time so I will have plenty of time to play with your animals and make them feel happy! I can absolutely adjust to any specific schedule you and your dogs/cats have during the daytime and bedtime! I can easily crate animals, or create a dog/cat safe enviroment for your fur baby. I am more than willing to adjust to each of your pets enviromental needs.
About: I'm type of person that will go to a party and first make friends with dog. My home is perfectly spaced for horsing around yet has many cozy places to take a nap and cuddle. I have a nice fenced yard with shaded spot on the rug and bench for lazy days. There is plastic kiddie pool to cool off in, when sunbathing becomes all too much. Street I live on is pretty private and fun to walk with big yards, plenty of bushes and places to sniff. There is a dog park in the mile proximity. My doggies are 2 goofballs that love to hang out with new friends. They might even insist on sharing a toy or two to win the guest over. All in all, we are a fun bunch to hang with. Pet boarding is a full-time venture for me so I will provide the utmost care and attention to your pet and will do my very best to be available to answer any questions or handle any concerns you may have during your pet's stay. Although I devote much of my time to boarding, please be respectful of the times I have listed below for drop-offs and pick-ups. Times for earliest drop-off and latest pick-up Monday to Thursday: 6am-830pm Friday: 6am-9pm Saturday and Sunday: 9am-830pm Be respectful of the times given. We wake up early on a daily basis and go to bed early as well due to early work and school schedules. Please let us know when you will be arriving. Send us a text upon arrival and we will meet you outside to bring your pet inside. This method will prevent barking from the doggos already here and reduce stress and separation anxiety for your pet. Please bring your pet's food in Ziploc bags with his or her name clearly written on them. If there are medications and/or supplements to be given, please include detailed and clearly written or typed instructions. What you DO NOT need to bring: food bowls water bowls pet beds/blankets toys clothes We provide toys (including indoor, outdoor, plush, toys for chewers, so let us know if your dog has a preference), beds, wipes, brushes, and crates if your pet needs one at night. Apart from our home that is open to your pet, we have an additional house on our property that can accommodate guests. We also have part-time staff who can help on an as-needed basis. Your pet will be free to run around our 1/4 acre backyard that is fully enclosed by a 6 foot fence. We have a large gazebo that provides shade during the hotter days. The backyard is divided into a large grassy area and smaller gravel and concrete sections. Fresh water is provided consistently. Tours of our home will not be granted. We will happily provide you with our Instagram account so you can view the premises and also check out our regular guests having a great time. We do not require a meet-and-greet for the stay, but if you would like to do one, our front porch provides the perfect spot for us to meet. We dedicate the weekends between 9am and 11am to any meet-and-greets you wish to have. I'm currently working part time, so I'll have plenty of time to play with your pets ! My partner, Hunter, and I both have remote positions so we are home most of the time. We absolutely love taking the pups on mid-day walks. I have a fenced yard and two friendly dogs to keep your fur baby company. I can easily crate your dog if needed. After dinner, everyone gets a dental bone with enzymatic puppy toothpaste to freshen breath and keep cavities at bay!

“As all other pet owners have written, Christie does not disappoint! Super attentive to the animals and their needs, and going above and beyond the call of duty. Christie braved walking our crazy bark at everything that moves outside dog twice daily, Wow! Our home was well taken care of and we really appreciate everything Christie did to ensure our pets were safe and well cared for! Thank you so much, Christie! You are greatly appreciated 😻⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️”
“Nic is amazing! You can really tell she truly loves animals and makes sure your babies are loved and cared for when they are with her! She handled my 3 big babies with ease! They were spoiled with homemade treats and roasted pumpkin! They were sound asleep the whole day after we picked them up, I can tell they had lots of fun. We will definitely use Nic again and highly recommend her!”

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 Tuscumbia 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 Tuscumbia 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.
<b>Tip:</b> 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 Tuscumbia 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 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.
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.
