About: I’ve taken care of many dogs of varying sizes beginning at age 12. Family members and friends have relied on me to walk, feed, play, love on, and bathe their pets. I currently work during the day but can flexibly leave throughout the day. Once my work day is finished my afternoons and evenings are completely open to love on fur babies. I value maintaining the routine of your pets, ensuring that they feel safe and you feel comfortable knowing their sense of security will not be disrupted.

About: I have animal experience in a shelter setting and in a medical setting. I’m currently working at a veterinary office as a kennel attendant. I’m also able to administer medications orally or via injections. I work from 8-6, but I get a two hour lunch. I’m able to drop in and check on animals in the mornings, on my lunch break and after work. I’m always mindful of an animals mood and try to adjust accordingly. If there’s treats, toys or routine that make an animal comfortable the that’s what I try to follow.

About: Currently I'm the proud momma of a a sweet and sassy calico, and a silly snuggly coon hound. I've raised beagles, pitbulls, mixed-breed doggies, fish, kitties, a snake, and also fostered beagles as a tribute to my childhood beagle, Abby, when she passed at the age of 18. Old or young, big or small, I love them all! Your fur babies will be given plenty of snuggles, attention, and love! I'll jump in and play with them and I'm not afraid of handling pets with temperaments or special needs and will be happy to send photos and updates to make you feel like you're right here with us even while you're away. I believe pets are just like people but speak a different language...if you ever asked my pets they would tell you I speak fluent cat and dog ;o) My casual demeanor and sweet voice have made me the "pied piper of animals" and often surprise others who say "my pet never goes to strangers!" Feel free to let me know what I can do to make your fur-babies feel comfortable and special while you're away. I am currently between jobs which means I have plenty of availability time and thus I can spoil your fur babies with all of my attention Your pets and your home will be cared for as if they're my own. Just let me know what you need and I'll make it happen

About: I have been a dog owner/caretaker since the age of 13. I have looked after family and friends’s dogs over the years. I will love and treat your dog as my own. I am currently a student and so I have a lot of free time and flexibility in my schedule. I am happy to come check in on the dog throughout the day or hang out with it during the afternoons into the evenings! I cannot bring animals into my dorm so I will have to care for your pet in your home. However, I do have access to dog parks and am happy to take your dog on adventures!

About: I am an extremely caring and loving individual, who has owned two dogs, two cats, and dozens of other pets. Therefore I know how to accommodate whatever needs your pet might have. Having lost my oldest dog recently, being around other animals is fun and therapeutic for me as well. I am looking for work to supplement playing gigs on the weekend. Since I spend much time writing music at home, I will have plenty of time to spend with your pet. I have an easy going schedule being a teacher and musician. I have plenty of time to meet with your pet to attend to whatever needs they might have. I have plenty of space for pets to roam around my house. I also have a fenced in back yard where I like to spend time with my dog or friends dogs when the warmer weather is here.

About: Hi! I’m Emily, and dogs have been part of my life for as long as I can remember. I grew up in a family where our dogs were truly family members, and my first job at 11 years old was walking my neighbors’ dogs. Since then, I’ve cared for dogs of all ages, sizes, and personalities—including puppies, senior dogs, and pets that need medication or extra attention. As a Rover customer myself, I understand how hard it can be to leave your dog with someone else. That’s why I treat every dog as if they were my own. My goal is to give you complete peace of mind while you’re away. I’m home full-time, so your dog will receive plenty of attention, exercise, playtime, and affection throughout the day. My own dog, Ollie, loves making new friends, and we stick to a structured routine with multiple walks, enrichment activities, and lots of cuddle time. I maintain a clean, safe environment and can follow your dog’s regular schedule, dietary needs, medications, and any special instructions. I always make sure to have a clean environment so the dogs can’t get into anything that would be harmful to them. They will get at least 4 walks a day and one trip to the fenced in dog park behind my complex if weather permits.

About: Hi! My name is Adrian, and I've been around dogs and cats for most of my life. I grew up helping care for large dogs and have always been the person my family relies on to feed, play with, and look after our pets. I especially love large breeds and enjoy spending time outdoors, playing, and making sure dogs get the attention and exercise they need. Every pet has their own personality, and I take the time to earn their trust so they feel comfortable and safe while you're away. I'll treat your pets with the same care and respect I'd want someone to show mine. I'm currently very flexible and have plenty of availability throughout the week for house sitting, drop-in visits, and walks. Because my schedule is open, I can dedicate plenty of attention to your pets instead of rushing between commitments. I communicate regularly, send photo updates, and always make sure owners know their pets are happy and well cared for. For everyone's safety and comfort, I currently only offer care in my client's home. My family dog is not comfortable around unfamiliar animals, so I don't provide boarding in my own home. When caring for pets in your home, I carefully follow your routines, make sure fresh water is always available, maintain feeding and bathroom schedules, provide plenty of attention and exercise, and send regular photo updates so you can relax while you're away. I also treat every home with the same respect and care that I would expect for my own. My goal is for you to come home to a happy pet and a clean home

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

For dog walking bookings, your dog walker can send a Rover Card with details about your dog’s walk. Rover Cards require at least one photo and may include a map of the walking route , the total walk time and distance, and any pee or poop breaks recorded by the walker.

The route map lets you review where your dog was walked in Bessemer after the booking. It is not live GPS tracking.

Have specific details you would like included? Message your dog walker in the app before the walk begins.

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 Bessemer. On Rover:

  • 94% 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 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 Meet & Greet .

walkers on Rover set their own cancellation policy , 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.
