About: I have always had multiple dogs in my home. My family has a love for rescuing dogs so we have taken in and fostered numerous dogs in the past. I cared for many dogs while in Tuscaloosa for college. I have since moved to Birmingham and become a NICU nurse! No matter what your baby needs, I’m here!! I am a full time nurse so my schedule varies! I typically work 3 days a week, so depending on the week I will be available different days! I love to be active and love to run around with energetic dogs as well as give love to the cuddly dogs! I base my approach based on the dogs needs, every baby is different!
About: I’ve had cats and dogs by entire life. Big, small, energetic, or chill, I’ve taken care of and seen all kinds but I especially love larger breeds! Im working full time but wanting to do something a little extra and get to enjoy some time with pups and cats too! I’m available on weekends and Fridays afternoons and nights! I’m happy to take your dog or cat on walks, have a play date, and complete basic needs like taking out for potty breaks and crate when needed!
“Monica and Mitchell has walked our dog several times now. We liked them so much that we decided to book them for repeat walks every week. They are great with communication, quick with responses, and our dood loves them! I would definitely recommend booking with them!”
“Tatiana is amazing! Zeus is in love. He recognizes her car and runs to the door to greet her, excited for his walk. She tires him out enough for him to settle down so I can work without having a bored puppy underfoot. Will request her again.”
About: Animals have always been a huge part of my life. I currently have two dogs, Chance and Otto, and I know how much our pets mean to us. When your pet is in my care, they will be treated with the same love, patience, and attention that I give my own. I previously worked as a sea lion and dolphin trainer at Gulf World Marine Park, where I gained hands on experience with animal care, behavior, and training. My goal is to make sure your pet feels safe, happy, and loved while you’re away. I work weekdays until 4:30 PM and am available for evening visits, overnight stays, and weekend pet care. I would love the opportunity to meet you and care for your pets! I currently have a flexible schedule, which allows me to dedicate plenty of time and attention to pet care. I’m available for walks, drop-ins, and sitting on weekdays and weekends. I walk them daily and make sure they get plenty of exercise! I also have lots of dog toys:) I make sure their is plenty of water and food for them at all times
About: I've had a variety of different pets throughout my life, and also spent over 100 hours volunteering with local animal shelters. Plenty of experience and a deep passion and love for animals! Currently on the job search, so availability is extremely flexible! Only a few standing obligations on Saturday evenings (8:00 PM) and Sunday afternoons between 2-6 PM. My own pets have their schedules and quirks, and I'm more than happy to accommodate your pet's schedule/quirks to help provide the most comfortable environment for your babies!
About: I have had experience with dogs of every kind since I was born. I have cared for dogs of all ages between eight weeks and eighteen years old. My family had no less than four dogs and two cats when I was growing up. I got to care for large golden labs and for elderly yorkies and I love them all! I have extensive experience with all kinds of dogs, and I would love the opportunity to love on your pet. I am a college student here in Birmingham and my schedule is flexible! I can easily customize my availability and accommodate my clients as needed. Due to dorm living I am unable to have pets in my home. Due to dorm living I am unable to have pets in my home.
About: I have always loved animals- any and all types. I have owned dogs and cats as pets my entire life. I’m an honest and loyal person. I will provide the greatest care for your furbabies and make sure they are loved as my own. I volunteered with local humane societies and I also worked as an animal cruelty investigator for years. Animals live shorter lives than us humans so we have to make sure everyday is great. I have fostered numerous dogs and puppies that I found in abusive situations so providing a little extra care is no biggie to me. I would be happy to drop in and check on your animals, take them for walks or board them at my house. I have a ten year old child that knows how to treat animals. Your animal would be in great hands with us. Thanks for reading my profile. Hope to hear from you soon. My schedule is super flexible so just let me know what your needs are and I can help. Can’t wait to meet your fur baby. I have a fenced yard and one sweet pup that stays inside that can keep your animal company. I can’t wait for them to meet!
About: I’m a calm person and animals are generally drawn to me because of it. :) I’m a stable, dependable, and trustworthy person who does what I say I’ll do. I’m attentive and love to snuggle. I don’t smoke. I’ve lived in Birmingham since 2006 and know the area well.
About: I’ve taken care of animals for as long as I can remember! I was #1 dog sitter for about 5-6 neighbors through high school and college. I’ve taken care of many other dogs and cats as well. As a current medical student, I wish I could have my own dog but the time and finances won’t allow until I graduate. So for now, I can help take care of your pets and you can help me get my snuggle fix in! As a medical student, my schedule is often changing. I do have most evenings and weekends free for studying and I could always use a study partner or walk break! School is priority - but I will do my best to work with your schedule as well as my class schedule! I do currently live in an apartment, so boarding pets in my home is not a great option. I’ve stayed at very many homes to care for pets. Your pets health and safety will be my main concern - and I will always respect your home as well!
About: I have been taking care of pets for 6 years and i love it, i have a dog at home called Persi and i miss him so much. So now that I moved to Alabama I will love to take care of your dog! I'm currently at home all day. So anytime is good for you to bring them to my house. I have a free schedule this whole summer. I have an apartment but we have in the area a dog park where I can bring them so they can have fun and exercise.
About: I love all animals - especially dogs and cats. I have a cat named Zelda and two dogs named Goldie and Simba. I walk and take care of my parents, Bischon named Lacy, when they go out of town. I worked at Pet Palace during my time at Auburn University. I was responsible for bathing, feeding, and walking all the dogs that would board with us or come to doggie daycare. I worked with all breeds and sizes of dogs. I live across from Heardmont Park with a fenced in backyard and a big park and walking trail at the front of my neighborhood. I work full-time, so I'm do not have as much availability during the week. But I am available most weekends. I can also do walks and drop-in visits. I may be open to house sitting for repeat clients once I get comfortable. I will treat your dog or cat like one of my own. I suggest a meet and greet to make sure that they are comfortable with me before booking the stay.
“Christina is the best petsitter. My experience with her for the past 4 months have been amazing. I was never worried about my dog and she took care of Kai so well. 1000% recommended”
About: I was trained how to train dogs at an early age after our first dog was trained by our breeder. Since then I trained 2 golden retrievers and an Australian Cattle dog (red heeler). Both breeds are strong willed and have high energy. I work from home and so have a lot of freedom to break away to take care of dogs. I enjoy taking care of dogs and sharing the knowledge from my experience of training and raising dogs. I have a large beautiful fenced yard, have multiple crates for use and live within walking distance of a dog park. I have kids that will make sure your dog gets lots of love while being boarded.

Whether you want a solo or group walk depends on your dog's personality. Solo walks can be beneficial for dog parents with reactive dogs, puppies, or dogs who are anxious around unfamiliar animals. Many dog walkers on Rover offer private, one-on-one walking services.
Group walks are a good fit for social dogs who enjoy structured walks. If your dog prefers the energy of a group stroll, ask your dog walker about group walks in your Acton. Since all dog walkers are local, they may have a neighborhood dog who is a good walking companion to yours.
For dog walking services, you can request a report card update with specifics about your dog’s walk. Report cards require photos and can include a map of the walking route , total walk time, poop and pee breaks, and distance traveled, so you know exactly where your dog has been walking in Acton.

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 walker 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 .
Yes, you can find walkers who have experience with handling special pet needs in Acton. On Rover:
- 95% of walkers can help with special care needs
- 96% 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 short introductory meeting between you, your dog, and a walker. It can take place in person or virtually, although we recommend in-person so that your pet can get to know your walker 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 walker questions about their skills and expertise, and make sure the fit feels right for everyone. Most pet parents and walkers 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 walker.
