“Kona absolutely loves staying here! He gets so excited every time we arrive, which gives me so much peace of mind. Emily takes such great care of him and always keeps me updated with photos and messages. It’s clear that he feels comfortable and happy while he’s there. I truly appreciate the love and attention she gives him. Highly recommend!”
“Lark and her family are amazing! She sent lots of texts updating me how our pup was doing while we were away. Ollie got lots of attention and was happy to be in their home. We will definitely check her availability first the next time we need pet care.”
“You can’t go wrong leaving your furry family member with Kel. She is an absolute gem! She is attentive and caring…sends pictures throughout the stay with notes on how well it’s going. Her golden retriever, Kel, made fast friends with my goldendoodle. We have already signed up for her next visit and highly recommend Kel’s services to anyone wanting reliable and compassionate care for their animal.”
“Our dog stayed with Shelby and family for two nights and we believe he had a great time! Shelby sent a few pictures and Harley seemed genuinely happy to be with them. We would def recommend and let him stay again!”
About: I have taken care of dogs, large and small, for roommates, friends, family, and neighbors. Care has included pet sitting, boarding, and walking as well as potty breaks for pets with busy parents. I have also cared for a senior pet of my own as well as a pet with additional needs. I previously helped train golden retrievers for hunting competitions and cared for several litters of puppies. I also volunteered for my hometown’s animal shelter. In short, I love animals and have extensive experience caring for them. I am detail-oriented, caring, and committed to providing the best care for your furry friends while also ensuring that they have a great time! I work with all dogs, from those that fit in the palm of your hand to those that are 100 lb+. I also have a high-energy dog and understand how to care for similar breeds. Please message me to inquire how I can provide the best care for your pet. P.S. Please enjoy the photos of the pups I have taken care of over the years! I am a graduate student at Auburn University (War Eagle!) with a very flexible schedule. Most of my time is spent working from home with classes on Tuesdays and Thursdays from 11:00 am - 4:00 pm. I am available to walk dogs and do drop-ins during the week and on weekends (with the exception of Tuesday and Thursday afternoons) and can house-sit overnight on Thursday, Friday, Saturday, and Sunday nights. House sitting does require a meet and greet first; message me to arrange a meeting that works with your schedule! At your home, I can ensure your pets stay on their routine while ensuring they get the amount of activity and care that they need. If you are also wanting your pet(s) to get some playtime with other animals, I have two friendly dogs who love to play with other dogs and who can play together, whether at a dog park or elsewhere (please inquire!).
“Lilia and Bruno took excellent care of Pippa while we were out of town for over a week. She became fast friends with their pup and I got regular pictures of the adventures Pippa went on. The only negative is Pippa is a bit depressed now that she isn’t around her friend! Great experience and will definitely use Lilia and Bruno’s service again!”
About: I've taken care of animals for years. When I was younger I not able to have a dog. So when I could I went to the library and researched breeds of dogs. I was so interested I even went to local dog shows. I love dogs and like cats to so let me take care of your family pet. I have experience with older dogs and dogs with special needs. I am working part-time right now, but I have time to play and take care of your precious dog or cat. Weekends are good for me. Let me know and I will be there to walk, play, and feed your family pets. I have a fenced in yard and 2 friendly dogs of my own to keep them company. If I come to your place I will take care of your dog and make sure to have their best interests at heart. Whether at my house or yours your pet will be taken care of. I'm working full-time but I am free at 6 and beyond if you need me to come walk or drop-in on your pet. I am free every weekend as I only work during the work. I have a big fenced in backyard that my dogs enjoy with plenty of shade and a shed. The animals I petsitt will have plenty of room to run and play. They will also have loads of playtime and enjoyment with my dogs.
About: I stand out because I tailor my care to each pet’s needs—whether that’s training puppies with consistency or providing gentle, attentive care to senior pets. I’m reliable, patient, and treat every animal like family. Pet care fits into my routine really well, I’m in school, so I plan my availability around my classes and study time. Caring for animals is something I genuinely enjoy, and I always make sure they get the time, attention, and love they need. Whether I’m caring for pets in my home or a client’s, I focus on creating a safe, clean, and comfortable environment. I stick to their usual routines, give lots of attention, and make sure they get plenty of play, exercise, and love. I also keep communication open with updates and photos so you always know how your pet is doing.
“Cassidee was great! She kept an amazing line of communication and kept us posted on all our dogs activities and day to day! We look forward to having our dog visit with her again. Thank you!”
About: I pride myself on being dependable, communicating regularly with pet parents through updates and photos, and following each pet’s routine to help them feel safe and comfortable while you’re away. My goal is to provide not only exceptional care for your pets but also peace of mind for you. Pet care is a meaningful part of my weekly routine. I set aside time each day for walks, feeding, playtime, exercise, and companionship. I am dependable, flexible, and committed to providing safe, loving, and attentive care that keeps every pet happy, comfortable, and following their normal routine. I follow each pet’s routine with feeding, fresh water, walks, potty breaks, playtime, and lots of affection. I provide a safe, clean environment and regular updates.
About: I’ve cared for pets of all ages, from 8-week-old puppies to 16-year-old seniors, and I genuinely love being around animals. I’m patient, attentive, and always make sure pets feel comfortable, safe, and loved while their people are away. I treat every pet like they’re my own and honestly just love getting to spend time with them! I believe that every pet deserves a safe, happy, and comfortable environment, and I am committed to creating that atmosphere during my pet setting and have a flexible schedule enabling me to be there whenever needed, and can always work from home. With two dogs of my own, they can always play and have a good time with one another and I have worked with dogs from twelve weeks old to fifteen years so I am adaptable with their care.
About: My husband and I have both grown up with many different dog breeds. We’ve recently adopted two puppies, and went through the process of training them to where they are now. From potty training from 8 weeks, to leash and recall training we’ve learned the patience and methods to correctly instill these habits into our pets. We’ve helped both friend and families by taking care of their pets when they are away for travel, handling dogs ranging from miniature chihuahuas to Great Danes, and every age group including senior dogs. We’ll make sure your pet gets the best care, wether that be from previous experiences we’ve had or by learning something new so your dog is always happy! We work but have a flexible schedule, we work our schedules around our dogs. Waking up early to allow them to burn energy. We’re both home for lunch to allow our dogs to have a potty break and play, then by 3pm our dogs get the rest of the day to eat and play as they please. Our dogs eat at 6:30am, play till 7:30am, potty break from 11am-1pm, at 3pm dogs are let out to play and dinner at 5pm, bed time is 8pm
About: I have had the privilege of always having dogs. For me, there’s no greater joy! I was actually nicknamed at a young age “the dog whisperer” and I promise you it fits! I regard a dog’s care and routine with the utmost respect. I see the value in both physical and mental stimulation for your dog. Whether it’s playing games, learning commands, an agility course, or scent work, there are so many ways to introduce enrichment. Two of my own dogs have disabilities, one who is deaf and has seizures and one who had a leg amputated due to cancer (but he’s in remission and he’s loving life as a tripod!). So I am very familiar and comfortable with administering medication, following a specific care routine, and most importantly, giving all the belly rubs and kisses needed! I want your dog to feel secure with me and want me around, so I’m happy to do a meet and greet to get our journey together started! I work from home during the week and I’m off on weekends. I am usually available even with little notice. I am happy to provide whatever help you need that is best for your dog. Walks, playing, snuggles, and anything else needed! I take safety very seriously! I do not allow on leash greetings (unless you let me know who your pup’s neighborhood friends are and then I’m happy to let them say hi). I carry pet corrector in case an off leash dog approaches. I am very observant to dog behaviors and body language and I will quickly become in tune with your dog. I know how stressful it can be trusting someone with your dog so I’m happy to provide as many updates and photos as you like. I have a 2 acre fenced in yard (8’ high fence) that is secure and safe. The perfect space for playing, sniffs, or just being lazy! I have 3 friendly Great Danes that love animals! They are used to having their furry friends come over and play.

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.
Every sitter on Rover has their own routine. Depending on the arrangements you agree on before the stay, a sitter can follow your dog’s regular feeding schedule, provide a comfortable place to sleep, offer companionship, and support their usual exercise and play needs.
94% of sitters in Wetumpka can provide daily exercise during dog boarding stays. Depending on the sitter, their home environment, and your dog’s needs, this may include walks, outdoor play, indoor enrichment activities, or supervised play with compatible dogs. These activities are not automatically included with every booking, so ask the sitter what a typical day looks like.
During the Meet & Greet, discuss your dog’s usual exercise and play routine, whether they can safely interact with other dogs, and any activities or restrictions the sitter should follow. You can also ask the sitter to send photo and message updates during the stay so you can see how your dog is spending their time.
Preparing for drop-off is easy when you have a checklist! To help your dog settle into their Wetumpka home-away-from-home, we recommend packing:
- Health and safety essentials such as their ID tags, vaccination records, medication, and emergency vet or secondary caregiver contacts.
- Food and gear such as harnesses, collars, food (portioned by day), and an item that smells like you.
- Special instructions such as a list of training cues, medical administration needs, or favorite hang-out spots in your Wetumpka.
Tip: You can upload your dog’s routine and medical info directly onto their profile so your sitter always has the details at their fingertips.
Yes, you can find sitters who have experience with handling special pet needs in Wetumpka. On Rover:
- 92% of sitters can help with special care needs

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.
You and your Wetumpka sitter can schedule drop-off and pick-up in a way that works best for the both of you—and your dog. Most sitters offer flexible times for drop-off and pick-up but the easiest way to confirm those times will be through in-app messaging. Confirm your arrival time the day of pick-up and drop-off can also help keep the process smooth and organized.
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.
While each sitter sets their own vaccine requirements, staying up-to-date on your dog’s vaccines is the best way to be "boarding ready". Vaccinations help create a safe environment for all pets under a sitter’s care.
Many sitters in AL ask that dogs be up to date on core vaccines like the Canine Parvovirus, Canine Distemper, Canine Adenovirus, Bordetella, and Rabies.
By discussing your pet's health history early, you’re adding a layer of confidence for you and your sitter before the booking begins.
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 dog to the closest veterinarian. Through our Trust & Safety support team, sitters can ask for diagnostic advice from a qualified veterinary professional if your dog 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.
Adding another pup to the pack? Most sitters and walkers offer a reduced rate for additional dogs. You’ll find these exact rates listed under the "Services" tab on any sitter's profile. Since every dog is unique, final pricing may vary depending on the level of care required.
