About: Hello Alabama! I have moved here to this fine state and am excited to get started sharing all the pet love I have been saving for this move. Please feel free to check with me for all dates moving forward. I am able to do days, weeks or months at a time. If you are military I can also help you as you may be transitioning out of your military life. I know that the debriefing from military life back to civilian life is sometimes one of distance and definitely time and I am very flexible on my time. I provide in home pet care. I have a day job working from home. My day job does allow me to come to you and your pet so that they can be less stressed by their humans absence. I like to keep the babies normal routine as close to perfect as possible. I have cared for so many wonderful pets through the years and this app and I am looking forward to continuing this wonderful, life changing service. I have had many steady repeat pets as well. I can provide letters of reference also if needed. Please review my calendar as I do have availability moving forward. My time with your pet will of course depend on your needs. I know I will be available for the holiday season. It is always good to get the holidays set up way in advance as a good pet sitter is hard to find at that time of year. I am really looking forward to helping with your pet sitting needs. Please just reach out and ask about the availability. I do try to keep up on my calendar but sometimes it can be a bit off. Again just reach out and double check directly with me. I am a real people person, I am a friendly and a kind human being. I am responsible, prompt, and very reliable. Pets love me & I love them. Please reach out and let’s see how I might be able to help. I have raised dogs all my life with my first pup showing up at the age of 8. I work remotely so my time is quite flexible. I have also done some dog training along with showing dogs for a short time frame. I simply love dogs, cats & horses. I am a responsible pet owner who always treated her own pet like a child & part of the family. Your pet would get that same love and attention. Playtime, good walks, some laughs and lots of belly rubs & trust go along way. If you have any questions please feel free to contact me I will get back quickly. I am located in the Owens Cross Roads area currently, and my rates are very reasonable for in-home, loving, positive pet care Thank you I am looking forward to helping you care for your pet in your home or to just drop by to help if you simply can’t get out to walk /play with your pet. I’m here for you looking forward to the opportunity. Since my pup has crossed over the rainbow bridge I would have no problem coming to you to help you with your pet. I look forward to hearing from you and blessings to you all.

About: I’m an animal person through and through. I’ve been around dogs since I was a little boy at the age of 5. I’ve taken care of family, neighbor, and even stray pets/animals and take pride in my ability to get on the good side of any creature. Firm believer that there is no such thing in a bad dog, only misunderstood ones. I have one dog (the handsome black lab), but sometimes have my mother in law’s two dogs over. They’re all well behaved and sociable. I work from home and typically have a lot of spare time in my day to take care of pets. I make sure to take my dog to the park everyday and see to it that he gets proper exercise and will be sure to make sure your dogs get the same. I don’t go anywhere most weekends so I’m available for boarding and anything else more or less all the time. I live in a 4 bedroom house with a big yard and sunroom so plenty of space for play. I have several parks located within ten minutes of me and walking trails nearby too so your pup will never be bored.

About: Hi! 🐾 I’m a lifelong animal lover with 6+ years of hands-on experience caring for dogs and cats! I started my career in animal care as a veterinary receptionist, eventually working my way into kennel care and hands-on animal handling. I wanted to take my experience even further, so I went back to school and graduated as an Approved Veterinary Assistant in January 2025. I’m also a Certified Professional Groom Technician, giving me experience with everything from everyday pet care to grooming and handling. Over the years, I’ve worked with dogs of all sizes, personalities, and energy levels — from tiny couch potatoes to giant breeds and everything in between. Shy, nervous, or rescue dogs are absolutely no problem for me! I’m patient and comfortable letting pets warm up to me at their own pace. High-energy pups, timid dogs, counter surfers, goofy troublemakers… I’ve probably met one like them! 😂 I’ve also cared for plenty of cats, including the sweet ones and the spicy kitties who prefer to keep their humans on their toes. 😹 I understand that every pet has their own personality and needs, and I take their safety, comfort, and routine seriously. I genuinely love what I do and feel incredibly lucky that caring for animals is something I get to do for a living. When your pets are with me, they’ll get plenty of attention, patience, love, and care — and probably a few extra treats and belly rubs along the way. 💕🐾 Pet care is a big part of my life, and I’m fortunate to have a very flexible schedule! I’m generally available throughout the week and am happy to work with your pet’s individual routine and needs. Whether you need regular visits, occasional care, or help while you’re out of town, I’m happy to be there for your pets. 🐾 I love being able to make pet care part of my everyday routine, and I’m always excited to meet a new furry friend! Your pet’s safety and comfort always come first! 🐾 With 6+ years of hands-on animal-care experience, including veterinary medicine, boarding, daycare, grooming, and pet sitting, I’m comfortable caring for pets with all kinds of personalities and needs. When caring for pets in their home, I follow their normal routines as closely as possible, including feeding, medications or special instructions, walks, playtime, and plenty of attention. I’m respectful of your home and treat it with the same care I would my own. I also make sure doors, gates, and other areas are secure so pets stay safe while I’m there. I know that some pets are nervous around new people, so I never force interaction. I’m patient and allow them to warm up to me at their own pace. I pay close attention to their behavior and will communicate with you if I notice anything unusual or concerning. My goal is for your pets to feel safe, comfortable, loved, and cared for while you’re away — and for you to have peace of mind knowing they’re in good hands. 💕🐶🐱

“Alison was fantastic with my dog and made the whole experience super easy and stress-free. She was reliable, communicative, and clearly cared about making sure my dog was comfortable and well taken care of. I really appreciated the updates and could tell my dog enjoyed the walks and time with her. I’d definitely recommend Alison to anyone looking for someone dependable and caring.”

“So attentive to my puppy’s needs. We had an hour long walk scheduled, but it was a chilly day. When my pup started shaking, she warmed him up and took him home to play inside for the remainder of our appt. I love that she was attentive to him! I would highly recommend Kristen!”

About: What sets me apart from other sitters is my background in healthcare and my natural attention to detail. As a nursing student and soon-to-be hospital worker, I’m very experienced in providing attentive, compassionate care — which easily carries over to how I care for pets. I’m patient, reliable, and comfortable following detailed care instructions, including administering medications if needed. I also have experience with both young, energetic pets and senior pets who may need a little extra gentleness and support. I genuinely love building a bond with every animal I care for, treating them like family while keeping their safety, happiness, and well-being my top priority. Pet care fits naturally into my daily and weekly routine because I truly enjoy spending time with animals. I am a nursing student who will be starting a hospital job on May 12, working from 3 PM to 11:30 PM. Until then, I have open availability to care for pets. Even after I begin work, I’ll be available during mornings, early afternoons, and late nights for check-ins, walks, and pet sitting. I start classes on May 27, but I only have one in-person class from 12–1 PM on Tuesdays and Thursdays, leaving plenty of time to dedicate to caring for pets. I’m responsible, nurturing, and attentive—qualities that come naturally from my healthcare background—and I will treat your pets like they are my own. When caring for pets in my home or a client’s home, I make sure to follow any specific instructions provided by the owner, including feeding schedules, walk times, medication administration, and any special routines or preferences. I pay close attention to each pet’s behavior to make sure they are happy, comfortable, and safe. I also love giving pets plenty of playtime, affection, and exercise based on their energy level. Cleanliness and safety are important to me, so I always make sure their space stays clean, and I update owners regularly with messages and photos for peace of mind. With my nursing background, I’m very detail-oriented and comfortable providing extra care if needed.

About: I truly love animals, and it shows in the way I care for them. I don’t just “watch” pets, I bond with them. I’m patient and energetic enough to keep active ones happy and engaged. I pride myself on being dependable and keeping owners updated with messages and photos. I currently work full time from 8 to 4:30 PM. Once I am off work I focus my attention on your fur babies making sure they get the energy out of going on a walk! I do not keep pets at my house due to having 3 dogs of my own. In your own home I will keep their routine consistent as possible. I follow feeding schedules, exercise needs, and any special instructions closely. I make sure pets feel secure in their familiar space while keeping everything tidy and respecting your home.

About: Hi! My name is Liza, and I've been providing loving, reliable pet care for over 8 years. Animals have always been a huge part of my life, and I'm passionate about giving them the care, attention, and respect they deserve. I earned my degree in Animal Sciences and worked at a veterinary hospital for 3 years, where I gained valuable hands-on experience with animals of all shapes, sizes, and temperaments. Whether it's walking dogs, feeding, administering medication, or providing companionship, I bring both professional training and heartfelt compassion to every pet I care for. I'm comfortable with pets that have special needs or require specific routines, and I'm always happy to provide updates, photos, and reassurance while you're away. My goal is to ensure your pet feels safe, happy, and loved in your absence. Let me know how I can help make your life easier and your pet's life happier! Im currently available whatever time and whatever day you might need! I’d love to fill my recent free time with hanging out with your animals! I don’t plan on hosting any animals at my home. However I could do drop ins to check on your pets if needed! I am very reliable so you can count on me to do a great job.

About: Taking care of pets has always been a giant part of my life. I currently have two cats at home, but I have also owned dogs in the past. I also grew up helping care for horses, cows, and donkeys on my family's farm, so I am very comfortable around all animals. I will always treat you and your animals with the greatest care and respect. I am senior accounting student at UAH. After spending nearly 8 years working in sales, I left my position to focus on finishing my college degree. I would love spend my time outside of class helping people care for their pets. I take your pets car and safety very seriously. I have two indoor cats, so I am very vigilant when it comes to ensuring pets are safe and secure. This same level of safety is also applied to dogs when I take them outside of the house.

About: I have been a pet owner since I was 14 years old. Family members have also allowed me to pet sit their fur babies with regular walks, feedings, and required medication needs. I have two senior dogs myself and understand the dynamics of the extra care and needs they require. I am currently seeking a career change for something that brings me joy, which is ofcourse fur babies. I am willing to discuss any clients times/days that work for both of our needs With effective communication of your pups needs I can provide a safe and happy environment while you are away. This can vary from food, medications, walks, temperament concerns, and etc.

About: I've grown up in an animal loving family with all kinds of creatures. Many people can vouch that I have a way with animals, pets that are usually shy have a good chance of warming up to me! I have cared for dogs and cats primarily. I also have a cat of my own, Sully! I am familiar with walking, training, and bathing both dogs and cats. I've also worked in a Kennel, but I'd love to make their time away from their owners a little more bearable with lots of love and attention at home! I am able to be somewhat flexible, message me and we can figure things out! I am likely to be working another job while petsitting, but I am willing to go the extra mile and find time to care for your pets. I will make sure that your pet is attended to, watching them and any signs to them or the environment that might indicate they are not doing so well. I'll let you know immediately so we can work out what to do. Also, I interact with many animals while Petsitting, so I take care to wash my hands between clients so prevent any spread of disease between animals.

About: I’ve been pet-sitting since I was in high school, now going into year 7 of pet sitting. My unwavering dedication to personalized care for each pet is what I always focus on. I understand that each pet is unique, with its own needs and quirks, and I try and go the extra mile to tailor my services to meet those individual requirements I currently work in person 3 days out the week (MWF) as a college professor at AAMU but I make sure you pet’s needs are my first priority. From waking up early to give them attention & exercise, sharing my lunch break with your furry friend to take a walk and have a bathroom break, to helping me take breaks during my work hours for us to both stretch and go for a walk. Having constant communication with the owner & providing regular updates through messages, photos, or videos. Being prepared for any emergency by having a plan and knowing I need to bring your furry friend if an emergency may happen. Lastly, ensuring the safety within the home by removing anything that may be hazardous and keeping your furry friend in their designated area when needed to avoid any mishaps.

About: I’m 31 years old, a single mom, and the owner of Daisy’s Creative Cuts & Colors LLC, as well as a REALTOR and photography business owner. I have a genuine love for animals, and because I spend a lot of time at home, I’m able to be with them almost all of the time. I can groom the dogs in my care so they go home fresh and clean, and I also work on light training while they’re with me. This is my career, and I take great pride in the work I do. I’m willing to care for dogs that others may turn away, because I truly believe dogs are incredibly intelligent and intuitive animals. I see dogs and cats as very special, and I treat every fur baby as if they were my own. If you choose me to care for your pet, you won’t regret it. I also love meeting my dogs’ families, I’ve met some amazing people and formed long-term friendships through this journey. I spend plenty of time with my animals I keep since I work from home a lot. I update you on how they are through the day as well. I have a fenced in yard. We will be outside most of the time. We go for walks and to the park. I also send pictures everyday so you can feel closer to your fur babies.

Frequently asked questions about Rover

The average cost of Dog Walking in Big Cove is $21 per walk as of October 2026. Most bookings cost between $13 and $32 per walk. On Rover, walkers set their own rates based on factors such as their experience, the length of care, the number of pets, and your pet’s specific needs.

As of October 2026, there are 585 sitters on Rover offering Dog Walking across Big Cove. Enter your ZIP code to see which available sitters are closest to your 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 Big Cove. 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 , 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 Big Cove 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 , 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 .

Yes, you can find walkers who have experience with handling special pet needs in Big Cove. On Rover:

  • 89% of walkers can help with special care needs
  • 94% 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 .

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.
