“This was our first time using this kind of pet service and it will now forever be our way to go. Sara had us and our dogs at ease from the first meet and greet. We have a high anxiety baby and he warmed up to Sara immediately. She knew just how to care for him. She provided us with multiple pictures, videos and updates. We knew every day our babies were getting the best care. We came home to healthy and happy babies. We can't thank her enough and will definitely be using her for all our future needs. Can we get a 6th star for people like Sara!?!? Lol”
“Carrie was a phenomenal help with checking in on my lucy baby! She was kind, communicative, and sent many pictures so I know lucy was having a good time 😊 Ill definitely be using Carrie in the future!”

About: I've cared for and trained dogs for over 10 years, both my own and others. I've walked and watched dogs for multiple people I have over a year of experience working with dogs in a daycare group setting. I'm currently working a flexible self made schedule. Pet care is something I can easily fit into my week and something I enjoy doing very much. I've worked with all sorts of animals and have experience in giving them everything they need both mentally and physically. I have no problem spending extra time making sure your pet is happy and fulfilled after a visit.
“I recently hired Lauren to care for my two parrots and cat while we were away for the holiday, and I was very impressed with her service. She communicated regularly and ensured my pets were well taken care of throughout our absence. When a temperature alarm went off in my home, she responded immediately and handled the situation with great professionalism. My pets were happy and healthy upon my return, and the house was just as I left it. I highly recommend her to anyone looking for a reliable and responsive pet sitter.”
About: Hi! I am no stranger to walks, accidents or muddy paws! I have one rescue dog of my own, Aarya, who is more than just family to me. I have experience caring for several dogs with all sorts of personalities and needs. I am more than happy to take care of your pup while you’re away! Please note, I do not provide services in my home. I can do drop-in visits or stay at your house while you’re away. I am currently working a part-time summer job while I am home from college. My schedule is flexible and can fit with your schedule. I usually work 4 days a week, but have the opportunity to come and go as needed! I'm happy to take dogs for walks, let them run and play in the backyard while supervised, crate them if needed, and keep up with their regular feeding schedule. I will make sure they get plenty of bathroom breaks, attention, and care while you're away! :)
About: I have years of experience caring for both dogs and cats, and I genuinely enjoy the everyday rhythms of pet care—feeding, walks, playtime, litter care, and quiet companionship. I’m attentive, patient, and respectful of each pet’s unique personality, boundaries, and routines. I understand that pets can have very different needs—some are energetic and social, others are shy, sensitive, or independent. I’m calm, observant, and gentle in my approach, and I prioritize making every pet feel safe, comfortable, and cared for while their people are away. I offer pet care during the times I’m not with my son, which means when I’m booked, your pet has my full attention. I plan my availability carefully and only accept visits I know I can show up for consistently and on time. Your pet’s safety and comfort are my top priorities. I’m attentive, detail-oriented, and mindful of each pet’s environment, routines, and signals. I take care to follow instructions closely, keep doors and gates secure, and maintain a calm, respectful presence in your home. I understand how much trust it takes to leave your pet in someone else’s care. I treat every home with respect, communicate clearly, and approach each visit with patience and care so your pet feels safe and at ease.

Weekday mornings fit best with my schedule with also managing another part-time job, and I’m happy to help with walks, feeding, playtime, or just keeping pets company I’ve always been really attached to animals, especially because my own dog is basically treated like a baby at 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 Bessemer City 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.
