About: I have been around dogs my whole life. I have trained many dogs, including pitbull’s Saint Bernards, Chihuahuas, Maltese, etc. I have taken care of dogs at all ages in stages of life, elderly, puppy, pregnant. I absolutely adore dogs! I am an avid walker and walk over 6 miles daily. I would love to help out some people with furry friends who aren’t able to walk them as much! I am a great choice when it comes to watching your dog when you are away! I am super accountable and enjoy spending time with dogs!
“Jeremy ] was truly wonderful! He kept in touch the whole time and was super responsive, which made me feel so at ease. I loved getting photo updates—seeing my cats happy and relaxed really meant a lot. It’s clear he genuinely cares. I’d absolutely trust Jeremy again! I highly recommend Jeremy !! Thank you again”
“Kamron was awesome with our dog and friends dog that was staying over. We asked for a last minute drop in and Kamron came through! He left great feedback. It was such a relief having someone we could trust to check on them. He was super quick to respond. He also paid attention to detail and took great care in what we needed. We will use him again for sure! Above and beyond, excellent experience.”
“Solange was amazing! Very responsive and responsible. The dogs loved her! She also medicated our asthmatic cat for us. Will definitely rebook next time we leave town!”
“Carla was amazing. So responsive and such a sweet person. I felt so incredibly happy that she was able to care for Simon while we were away, and it seems like she made our little guy so so happy in our absence. Would definitely want her back ❤️”
“Stacy did a great job taking care of our cat while we were away. She did everything we asked and was very pleasant to communicate with. I would happily trust her to take care of our pets again next time we are away.”
“Meghan left great and considerate notes. She took Sawyer on lots of walks. She was very prompt and tidy. I will definitely continue to use her services. She was great!”
“I can’t say enough great things about Elizabeth. She came prepared to our meet and greet with a through list of questions about my cat and our home. She was a great communicator and kept me up to date on what was going on with my cat and sent pictures every day. She even brought in my mail, watered my plants, and took out the trash before she left on her last visit. It’s obvious that my cat loved his time with her. I won’t hesitate to use her services again!”
“Again Ms. Cat did an amazing job with my 2 babies. She is very attentive with them and knows each of their personalities really well. The biggest struggle for me is ensuring that my older dog, Walker, could get his medication. We talking through his needs each day, twice a day and she had no issues administering his eye drops. When I arrived home they were both comfortable and not stressed as I have experienced with other sitters.”
“Andre did a great job looking after my two cats! He was so kind and considerate, and gave great communication after every visit. I’ll definitely try to book him again!”
“Peggy is very sweet and took great care of our two kitties with drop in visits. She sent thorough updates and always asked questions which we really appreciate. She is responsive, reliable, and very punctual! We will definitely be booking her again.”
“This was our first time using Rover to schedule someone to check in on our pets, and Anna set the bar! She is incredibly thoughtful: setting up a meet-and-greet to make sure everything would go well later, finding and checking in on every pet (even the ones who were too lazy to come say hi during her visits!), and letting us know immediately about anything maybe-concerning (aka, the roomba tugging some loose floor trim free). And her visit notes were the highlight of our days. Next vacation, we hope to be able to book her again!”
About: I love animals but can’t have pets in my apartment so would appreciate sharing that love with your pet! I have been caring for a variety of pets since 2019, mostly dogs & cats (and the occasional bird!). I have experience with dogs of all sizes (from chihuahuas to Great Danes) and most ages. I have less experience with puppies but lots of experience with senior dogs. I have experience with high energy dogs that need multiple walks a day and dogs that struggle with mobility. I have experience with dogs who require medication. I have experience with cats of all temperaments. If you have any questions or concerns, feel free to reach out. I have a fairly flexible schedule so am available during the day most days and on weekends. I have been regularly caring for my parents’ elderly Great Dane (11 years old now) since 2020. I am looking forward to spending more time caring for pets. I care for pets in their home environment according to the standards set by the owners. I am very conscious of varying family rules on things such as furniture and am happy to adhere to those expectations. I prefer to stick to whatever schedule the pet(s) are used to (regular walk times, regular feeding times, etc).
“Jessica was great with our anxious small dog who is slow to warm to people. She gave him meds, sent pictures and made us feel comfortable about leaving him. We will definitely use her again!”
“Deedee took excellent care of my puppy! She took so many adorable pictures and wrote up a cute description of their day. It put me at ease to know my puppy was in great hands. I will definitely be using her again! Thank you Deedee!”
About: I am a alumni of maryville college with a biology degree and UAB with a MPH. I have a high passion for animals and would enjoy caring for them, I also have a dog, 2 cats, and bearded dragon of my own so I have experience in the everyday care for them. P.S I ALSO LIZARD SIT !! I have worked at a animal shelter, a popup vaccine clinic for pets, and worked at a spay/neuter clinic. This provides me with over 5 years of basic pet and medical care experience. I also have learned a lot about animal behavior which provides me with the knowledge on how to approach your animal or calm them down of needed. Im a stay at home mom available 24/7. My dog goes on a walk three times a day. We have a dog park that I take then to and give them a little time to be outside and sniff. My pets are very well taken care of and geta lot of attention. My dog is crated when I leave as she is a escape artist and likes to take food off of the counter. However my animals sleep with me every night and gets plenty of cuddles.

Mary Elena was an amazing sitter! She was so patient with Biscotti while my kitten waited a few visits to open up. Mary Elena was very communicative and sent the best updates and pictures. I had no doubt that Biscotti was in great hands while I was away. Will definitely book again!
Kamron is fantastic! This is the 2nd time I’ve used him. He is very reliable, a great communicator, and responsible. I have 2 cats - one is very friendly and the other is not good with strangers. However from the first time he took care of the cats, both cats took to him right away. I highly recommend Kamron.
Aiiaha was great and Cali loved her, which I’ve had a hard time in the past finding people that Cali would like. Cali is a dog that goes on vibes and doesn’t get along with a lot of people. Aiiaha was right on time and very professional and was great with both of my dogs! So glad to have found her to help!!
We had a great experience! Our boy has some anxiety and can take a little while to warm up to new people, so we appreciated how patient and understanding she was. She came by for a meet and greet beforehand and took the time to let him get comfortable at his own pace. She was great with him during their first hangout, and we feel comfortable having her for future drop in visits!
I can always count on Jax to take wonderful care of my two dogs. She is incredibly patient, especially with my very slow skittish dog and all the shenanigans of her trusty sidekick. Jax gives them the time and space they need to feel comfortable, while taking everything they throw her way in stride. It means so much to know they’re in such caring, capable hands. I truly can’t say enough good things about Jax.
Lindsey was awesome and did a fantastic job caring for my dog, Angel. The pictures and videos took the story. Angel was so happy and surprised me, on how Lindsey could bring the best version of Angel. It has taught me where I need to work on to better our relationship. I was impressed with Lindsey’s professionalism and all the extra things done (bushed Angel’s undercoat) I highly recommend Lindsey dog care services. I was was truly delighted and would rebook without hesitation! Thank you Rover!!

Frequently asked questions about Rover
The average cost for Pet Sitting in Avondale Estates on Rover is $22.2 per visit (as of September 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 September 2026, there are 7,595 sitters on Rover offering Pet Sitting across Avondale Estates. 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 Avondale Estates 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.

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 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.
