“Hannah is awesome and super sweet. It can be hard trusting a “stranger” with our puppy but I did not need to worry one bit. Hannah showed Alfie so much love and was so kind to me. She was prompt, was an excellent communicator and friendly to everyone she encountered with Alfie. I am so lucky to have found her.”
About: I’ve been a pet-parent of both dogs and cats since I was a kid, and I have experience watching other people’s pets, too! I only work part time, so i’m available most times/days of the week. My schedule is also very flexible, so I can always move things around to prioritize your pet. I have a fully fenced-in side and backyard with lots of room for running and playing. I also have stairs for getting onto high furniture for dogs with accessibility needs.
About: I have had both cats and dogs for nearly my entire life. I have owned and cared for dogs of all ages and sizes, some with special needs. I believe that for the love and companionship animals offer us, the least we can do for them is make sure they are well loved back and always happy and healthy! My summer job is ending September 26th and my schedule will be wide open after that while I am on the hunt for a new job. With enough bookings, I would love to make helping you take care of your pets my job! 😊 I look forward to helping with your pet care needs and making new friends! ☺️ If you have a fenced in yard, I am more than happy to play with your pup in their own yard. If you do not have a fenced in yard, I would just ask that their leash and a secure collar be placed in an area where it is easy to find, as well as instructions of how far/long you would like them to be walked/exercised. I am also willing to accommodate any other requests clients may have to ensure the safety and well being of their pets.
About: I have had dogs and cats, and taken care of other small animals for my family for years. I understand the bond of families with their animals and respect that! I am retired from full time work, but do participate in volunteer activity. A part time role of caring for your pet as needed will best fit my schedule. Or providing in home care for your pet while you travel will work as well. I am happy to come and take care of your pets in your home, where they are comfortable in their own environment. I respect the pet owners preferences on how best to care for their beloved pet.
About: I grew up taking full responsibility for my two dogs, handling their daily feeding, walks, playtime, and overall care. Dogs have always been a big part of my life, and I truly enjoy spending time with them. Friends often trust me to look after their dogs when they need help, and I treat every dog as if it were my own with patience, attention, and lots of care Pet care fits easily into my daily routine. I’m available all day during the week as well as on weekends, which allows me to give pets plenty of attention, regular walks, playtime, and consistent care throughout the day I care for pets with a calm, attentive, and safety-first approach, whether in my home or a client’s home. I follow each pet’s routine closely, including feeding, walks, playtime, and rest. I live close to a park, which allows for regular outdoor walks and exercise. I’m very careful during walks and always stay alert to my surroundings to ensure pets are safe and comfortable at all times
About: I’ve had pets since I was born. I love to take my dog on walks at the beach and play in the yard with him. I am attentive to any reactions they might have to their surroundings as well. I’ve been looking for a job during the week days and I figured why not try this out to maybe help some families live their life if they’re on vacation or super busy. I have a friendly dog who will keep any pets company. I have a big yard with sun or shade if any dogs love to be outside. I also have crates if dogs need to be crated during the night or day.
About: If you’re looking for someone experienced, reliable, and knowledgeable to keep your pet content, safe, and occupied, and to keep your mind at ease while you’re away, look no further! I will house sit for or check in on any type of animal! I have taken care of all kinds of pets including rats, reptiles, tarantulas, ferrets, cats, dogs, and more since a teen. I have experience with volunteering at cat shelters, administering medications, first aid, and rescues. I am first aid certified which also teaches how to perform CPR on dogs. This is my second year pet sitting on the Rover app. I will also make sure any pet messes and toys are tidied before you arrive home every time! ***If you need a sitter for a small animal please book as a cat and then specify in your message to me the species and specific care needs. I have weekend and evening availability, so I can watch your beloved pets while you go on a weekend getaway! I can also do stop ins before 8 am, mid day, and after 4 during the week for feedings and walks. I can do pick ups, drop offs, and overnights weekends, evenings, and holidays. I have a unfenced yard where I will walk your pups. I am also close to parks and the river where I can take them to play. I have both medium and large sized crates, and plenty of extra pet supplies. I will also brush and bathe your babies and administer medications as needed. I don’t mind if your dog doesn’t like other animals and will take special care when walking in the neighborhood. Your pets will be in good hands!

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 Alabama. Since all dog walkers are local, they may have a neighborhood dog who is a good walking companion to yours.

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 walker 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 walker 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 walker for longer stays or first-time bookings. Read our tips for your first .
walkers 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 walker.
