Tara has been an absolute life saver! I’m 28 weeks pregnant and was so stressed about taking a little vacation away from the dogs. Tara has been on time everyday, sends me many pictures, and communicates so well! All of my stress has been relieved. 10/10. Would recommend her to all my fellow friends that need their pups watched! You can tell she actually cares and has a love for animals ❤️ Thank you so much, Tara!!

About: I grew up on a 100-acre farm and have spent my entire life caring for animals of all kinds. My experience includes both everyday and medical care for livestock and household pets, giving me a strong understanding of animal health, behavior, and individual needs. I have implemented treat based training as well as clicker training with my own pet. Over the years, my family bred and raised both small and large dog breeds, ranging from Beagles to Great Pyrenees. This hands-on experience has given me confidence working with animals of all temperaments, sizes, and energy levels — from high-energy working dogs to elderly and disabled pets requiring extra patience and specialized care. Animal care has always been a true passion of mine. I believe animals are a gift to everyone they meet, and I am committed to providing compassionate, reliable, and attentive care to every pet as if they were my own. Pet care is my full-time profession, allowing me to provide reliable, flexible, and attentive care for every animal I work with. I also attend school virtually while completing my degree in therapy, which gives me the ability to maintain a consistent schedule dedicated to pet care. My long-term goal is to open a therapy practice incorporating equine-assisted therapy to help support and heal others through the connection between humans and animals. I prioritize providing care in my clients’ homes, where pets are most comfortable and able to maintain their normal routines and environment. I believe staying in a familiar space helps reduce stress and anxiety while allowing pets to feel safe and secure. I take the time to follow each owner’s care instructions closely, including feeding schedules, exercise routines, medication administration, and any special needs. My goal is to provide dependable, compassionate care while treating both your pets and your home with the highest level of respect and professionalism.

About: I've been around dogs my whole life and grew up in a house that always had anywhere from three to six dogs running around. Because of that, caring for animals has always come naturally to me. I genuinely love animals and have always treated them with the same kindness and patience I'd want someone to show my own pets. I currently have three dogs of my own, and I know how nerve-wracking it can be to leave your pets with someone else. That's why I make it a priority to treat every dog I care for like they're part of my own family. Whether your dog loves long walks, playing fetch, or just wants someone to sit with them and give them attention, I'm happy to meet their individual needs. I've also raised and trained all three of my dogs from puppies, so I'm comfortable with younger dogs who need a little extra patience, consistency, and supervision. My goal is to make sure your pet feels safe, loved, and comfortable while you're away, and to give you peace of mind knowing they're in good hands. I currently work PRN, which gives me a very flexible schedule and allows me to accommodate a variety of pet care needs. I also babysit on the side, so I'm always looking to fill open spots in my schedule with something I genuinely enjoy—caring for animals. While weekends tend to be when I have the most availability, I'm open to helping throughout the week as well. Whether you need care planned in advance or last-minute assistance, I'm happy to work with your schedule whenever possible. I understand that every pet is different, which is why I always make it a priority to follow your pet's normal routine and any instructions you provide. Whether I'm caring for your pet in your home for a drop-in visit, walk, or overnight stay, I'll make sure they feel comfortable, safe, and well cared for in their familiar environment. I treat every pet as if they were my own and believe in providing plenty of attention, affection, exercise, and companionship while you're away. My goal is to make the experience as stress-free as possible for both you and your pet, while keeping you updated with messages and photos so you can have peace of mind knowing they're in good hands!

About: I believe all animals are “good boys” and “good girls“. Unfortunately, as an owner, you can’t always be by your pet’s side so please allow me to be your second pair of eyes, ears, and voice. I am a proud dog and cat mom so I am familiar with most of your pets’ behavior. You will absolutely receive updates regarding your pets wellbeing and the occasional cute pic :) I hope you consider me as your care taker and I look forward to hearing from you! I work through the weekdays between 7am-4pm and get a 1 hour lunch break. My weekends are typically free for house sitting/ frequent drop ins. I will accommodate to the owner’s rules and routines as well as I can. Your pets’ needs are prioritized during my care regardless of my schedule.

About: I’ve been an animal lover my whole life, growing up surrounded by dogs, cats, rabbits, and even the occasional chicken. As a longtime pet owner myself, I understand how much our animals mean to us. I treat every pet I care for like part of the family, with patience, love, and attention to their unique needs. Whether it’s a daily walk or a weekend stay, you can count on me to keep your furry (or feathered!) friend safe, happy, and loved. I’m available for midday walks, check-ins, and evening visits. I also offer overnight house sitting if you're looking for someone to keep your pets company overnight. In a client’s home, I make sure pets feel safe and comfortable by sticking to their usual routine, feeding, walks, playtime, and lots of affection. I respect each pet’s personality and any specific instructions you provide. If I’m doing overnight care, I maintain a calm and cozy environment, making sure your pet gets attention, companionship, and consistency while you’re away.

Bre did a fantastic job with our three cats! We have two senior cats who are a bit high maintenance and one younger one who is sweet but energetic, and she didn’t mind the list of details to keep everyone content while we were out of town! Extremely thorough, great communication, would definitely recommend Bre and will use her again!

About: I love animals, and have cared for all types of pets all my life. I will love your pets and give them the greatest of care, as if they are my own. I work from home and have a very open schedule. I also have a car and a strong work ethic so when I make a commitment to be somewhere, I am there. I prefer to come to the clients home because I know the animal will be happier in its home environment. I like to give lots of pets, love and attention. I clean up any accidents, make sure water and food bowls are in good shape and provide whatever service the Pet Parent has requested. I try to leave with the pet looking forward to its next visit from me.

About: I've been pet sitting for friends and neighbors since around the time I entered by teenage years. I've also worked in two veterinary clinics that offered animal boarding. As such, I'm experienced at caring for a variety of both cats and dogs, as well as administering medication, following strict diets, and cleaning up messes. My coworkers wpuld pften request me by name to help deal with larger or chunkier dogs. I'm currently attending college with classes Monday through Thursday. However, I have no exceptionally early classes, and my school day is always over by 2pm. The rest of my schedule is flexible enough to work around pet sitting with little issue. Friends and neighbors have trusted me in their homes to care for their pets for years, and I've never broken that trust. I always make sure to clean up any messes caused by pets, report strange behavior or possible symptoms of illness to the owner, and lock the doors behind me as I leave. I also make sure every pet gets plenty of attention from me.

About: I’ve taken care of my dog for 13 years which helped me gain experience. My neighbors have also allowed me to babysit, walk, and feed their pets. I am currently playing for a local soccer team that allows me to have a flexible schedule. I am free most hours during the week and on the weekends. When visiting a pet at a clients home I make sure to let the dog get used to me first beforehand. If the yard is fenced, I would love to play outside with them. I would also give lots of pets and cuddles if they enjoy it.

About: I am an owner of two Jack Russell Terriers who make my life incredibly entertaining. Both of them are rescue pets. The relationship I've built with them has introduced me to a whole new part of myself. I love to dote on others' fur babies as well. I'm a professional musician who does this as a way of supplementing my income, so my schedule is *usually* accommodating to almost any pet owner's needs. I prefer to do drop ins and some house sitting. I don't typically want to bring my own pups along with me until I know your dog's temperament. Even then, it is rare. They are beginning to show that they’re senior pups. If you think I'll fit your needs, don't hesitate to call. I'f I'm available, your pups will be well cared for and smothered with affection.

Jamie, did a wonderful job with our two dogs during her drop in visits. When we returned home they were both relaxed and happy, which does not happen when boarding them. She gave us peace of mind while we were on our trip and always sent us good pictures so we could see that they were doing well.

Frequently asked questions about Rover

The average cost for Pet Sitting in Tuscumbia on Rover is $12.84 per visit (as of June 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 June 2026, there are 79 sitters on Rover offering Pet Sitting across Tuscumbia. 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 Tuscumbia 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 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 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.
