“Britiany did such a great job taking care of my 3 cats! She sent detailed updates and pictures of all of them each visit. When we got home, we got the sweetest Polaroid keepsakes of our babies. I have already booked her for the next time I am going out of town ❤️”
About: Neighbors, friends, and family have relied on me to feed, walk, and entertain their pets for several years. I’ve loved animals for as long as I can remember! I’m a graduate student at UAB and my schedule has the opportunity to be flexible, so I am available for early mornings, late afternoon, and evening walks and check-ins during the week. On the weekends, I have full availability for whatever you and your pet need! I treat every pet like it’s my own- I shower them with love and affection, give lots of treats, and can play all day, regardless of your pet’s age, personality, or activity level.
About: I’ve been around dogs my entire life and would do some pet sitting during college. Growing up dogs have been part of the family and I will treat your pets with the same respect, care, and love. Im a behavioral therapist for kids during the week, but my weekends are open for your fur babies! I’m also available for pet drop ins after 5pm during the week! I will be sure to take any necessary precautions as needed for your pets’ health and safety. I can assure you they’ll be well taken care of with me!
“Bri has a joyful aura and is so fun to have around, we booked some hour visits so my scaredy cat Scout can be introduced before i leave on my trip. Bri immediately got on his level near his hiding spot and gave him some treats, which he actually ate🥹🤓🤘🏼 i’m confident my boy will be loved and nurtured while i’m gone and i recommend Bri for your baby’s needs”
About: I have always had cats in my life and had a Golden Retriever in my childhood home for 13 years. I currently have a tuxedo cat named Marley. I'm currently working part-time so I am available mornings, evenings, and weekends to check on your pets! My work hours vary so I am available some week days as well. I prioritize building trust with your pet through sniff tests, gentle pets, and providing food and play enrichment. You can rest assured your pet will be cared for attentively.
About: Whether you have a rambunctious puppy whos curiosity gets the better of them, an adolescent who wishes to have the tennis ball thrown 100 times, an adult who just wants a couch companion, or a senior dog who needs help getting down the stairs for their daily walk, I'm your gal! I have experience administering medication, have given insulin shots, as well as have owned and managed deaf, blind and pregnant dogs. I have also helped welp a litter of GSDs. Although I have a HUGE soft spot for Bully breeds (PLEASE share your pitties, staffies, bulldogs, dobbies and rotties with me!) I have worked with and house sat for dogs of all size, age and breeds. All dogs deserve love, respect and companionship❤️ My entire life revolves around animals as thats my entire career. I work on a horse ranch and take care of a herd of 26 horses. I have worked in domestic pet and livestock feed and nutrition and have helped owners find the best dietary fit for their animals needs whether special needs or just wanting to fit their lifestyle. Pet welfare is my entire goal in life- with me your pet is more than just another name on a screen. They are a unique individual I cannot wait to meet and learn about inside and out- from their happy wagging tail to their wet, curious sniffer. My animals are my number 1! My own dog goes to daycare atleast 2x a week to get social time on days I know I may be gone long and my cats are provided a clean, fresh environment that they can get the zoomies and run around together. They always come before I do. Water bows are cleaned daily, each animal gets one on one time with me daily and they all get enrichment toys and treats. Just as I treat my own animals, I will treat yours because I understand just how important they are to you and want to give full peace of mind that your animals are left in good, reliable and trustworthy hands no matter the circumstances.
About: I’ve always had cats, and usually they were strays that we took in. As a teenager, I would pet sit for my neighbors frequently when they were out of town- cats and dogs! I had two dogs growing up. Now as an adult, I have 2 cats of my own, Sinclair (5yo male) and Petal (1yo female)! For most of June and July I will be free week days and weekends! Starting in August, I will be available in afternoons and on weekends. I am willing to spend time with your cats and dogs, play with them however needed, and I can take your dogs on long walks!
About: I have diverse experience in animal care from my own pets, to neighbors and family members’ furry friends, and even professionally with wildlife. I am excited and honored to care for your family, both human and animal. I work sporting events freelance and am looking to add a little work on the side. I am free almost every weekday and most weekends. I do have an apartment most suitable for smaller dogs, however I have access to ample green space and neighborhoods to walk and play in. In your home, I will respect your space while keeping your furry friend in an environment they know.
About: I’ve had dogs my whole life. I volunteered at an animal shelter when I was 14. I walked dogs, cleaned cat cages, and socialized cats. I’ve walked dogs and dog sat for neighbors and family friends in the past. I currently go to college and have classes two days a week. However, I have a pretty flexible schedule and would be able to walk or check on animals in between classes as well! I love giving animals attention. I’m comfortable with all size and energy dogs, I had a chocolate lab who LOVED to play. I would also be happy to help teach dogs basic commands!
About: Hi! I’m a lifelong animal lover who’s grown up with both cats and dogs. I currently care for three dogs and four cats at home which means I’m pretty used to all kinds of personalities, from the shy ones to the goofy zoomy ones. I bring patience, reliable care, and a calm presence to every visit! I have a flexible schedule and plenty of time to give your pets the attention they deserve. I’m available for walks, drop-ins, and boarding on weekends and weekdays . When caring for pets in their home, I’m respectful of their space and routines. I’ll follow your instructions closely, provide plenty of attention, and keep you updated with pictures through out the day!
About: What sets me apart is my extensive hands-on experience caring for animals in both veterinary and everyday settings. I graduated from Auburn University with a degree in Animal Science Pre-Vet and have worked as a veterinary assistant and kennel technician, caring for up to 40 dogs and cats at a time. I’m comfortable with animals of all sizes and personalities and have experience administering medications, monitoring health and behavior, and recognizing when something may not be quite right. My love for animals goes far beyond work. I’ve volunteered walking and fostering dogs through the humane society and have run my own pet-care business caring for dogs, cats, and horses. I also have extensive veterinary experience with horses, including working at Hagyard Equine Medical Institute and Alabama Performance Horse Services. Animals have always been a huge part of my life, and I’ll treat your pets with the same attention, patience, and care I would want for my own. My schedule is flexible, which allows me to make time for walks, drop-in visits, feeding, playtime, and plenty of attention throughout the day. I’m also happy to work with each pet’s normal routine and schedule so they feel as comfortable as possible while you’re away. I know how important it is to trust the person caring for your pets because I feel the same way about my own! I have a cat, Edo, and a dog, Henderson, who are both very loved and have taught me that every animal has their own personality, routine, and needs. I always want pets in my care to feel as safe and comfortable as I would want Edo and Henderson to feel with someone else. When caring for pets in a client’s home, I’m respectful of both their space and their normal routine. I follow all feeding, walking, medication, and care instructions closely and make sure pets receive plenty of attention while also respecting their boundaries. With my veterinary and animal-care experience, safety is always a priority, and I pay close attention to changes in behavior, appetite, or overall well-being.
About: I’ve had dogs and cats since childhood, and at one point, I even considered becoming a veterinarian. I’ve cared for a variety of pets, including dogs, cats, turtles, and fish. I’ve also had the opportunity to look after my friends’ pets whenever they need help or are traveling. I truly enjoy their company and love spending time with animals. Caring for pets is something that brings me joy, and I’m happy to make them feel safe, loved, and comfortable while their owners are away. I offer part-time pet care on weekends from 6:00 AM to 12:00 PM. Weekend afternoons after 12:30 PM and weekdays after 5:30 PM require advance scheduling. When caring for cats and dogs in their own homes, I always prioritize their safety, comfort, and well-being. I carefully follow the owners’ instructions regarding feeding, routines, medications (if needed), and any special needs. I make sure doors, windows, gates, and fences are secure to prevent pets from escaping. I also keep food, cleaning products, and other potentially harmful items out of their reach. I give pets plenty of attention, monitor their behavior, and make sure they feel safe and loved while their owners are away. I also keep owners updated with messages and photos for their peace of mind.
“Loralyn was wonderful to work with. She is professional and kind. My cat takes oral medication and she handled it with ease. I would recommend her and will definitely book her again!”
“Madison’s experience at the vet gives our family such confidence that we can leave our dog in the best of hands. Her knowledge on how to handle “skiddish” dogs was perfect for our animal. She’s always on time and dependable. Boba loves her and that’s the most important thing to us. I would 100% recommend her to watch any type of animal you have.”
“We were extremely pleased with how well Stephanie took care of our cat. He needed insulin shots twice a day on a 12 hour schedule and we were nervous leaving this to a pet sitter. Stephanie was prompt, kept his meds schedule, played with him, and he seemed to really respond well to her. We will definitely book her next time we need a sitter.”
About: I have had many feline family members growing up, currently 3 cats, and 3 dogs during my childhood! I am also a Shelby Humane volunteer. I am comfortable with cats and dogs! I am available evenings and weekends for pet care. I have a lot of experience as a volunteer at an animal shelter and believe this would be a great fit to make extra money. I have 3 cats in my home. I do not let them go outside at all. I have no dogs. How I care for them will be up to the clients instructions.

Cat parents share their Rover experiences - Birmingham
Hannah did a great job taking care of my cats. She provided pictures and detailed updates everyday. She also gave my cats treats at every visit, which helped one of my very shy kitties to warm up to her, if even just a bit. I would definitely recommend her!
We are so excited to have Kyle as one of our sitters. He has a magic touch with the cats, particularly our baby girl who can be fearful of strangers. The fact that she ate a Churu from him is evidence! Kyle is trustworthy, consistent, communicative and conscientious. Truly a five star sitter!
Samantha was so great and really went above and beyond! She sent me lots of pictures and updates while I was gone, which I loved. My cat is sooo shy with new people, and Samantha was really patient with her, so I was honestly surprised she was able to get her to come out and warm up to her. It made me feel so much better knowing she was comfortable and being so well taken care of. I’d 100% book with Samantha again!
Royalty was very communicative and gave good details on my cat’s wellbeing on the report card. My cat is very selective on who she likes and she warmed right up to Royalty! He also went above and beyond keeping things tidy at my house. I highly recommend him to sit for your fur baby!
Julianna was on time, kind, and patient with our cat. He is very timid around new people and we appreciate that she took her time with him and took care of his needs. This was the longest we’ve been away from our cat and we could tell he was doing well with each photo and feedback received!
I am new to Rover and finding Madison was a Godsend. I had a vacation coming up that was going to put me out of town for a week and my cat had been diagnosed with diabetes about 6 weeks earlier, requiring feedings and insulin shots at very specific times twice a day. He is also very timid around new people and making sure he was cared for while I was gone was my biggest concern. Madison was fantastic with Cooper and he absolutely adored her. She was always on time with her scheduled appointments and she sent me updates and pictures after every visit. I was also able to communicate with her if I needed anything changed. She even adjusted my furbo cameras for me when they would get nudged by my cat. Seeing Cooper warm up to her and allow her to feed him and give him shots twice a day took away all the anxiety I had. He also allowed her to give him cuddles and he looked forward to her visits. I would highly recommend Madison to anyone looking for care for their treasured fur babies. She is amazing. I will definitely be rebooking with her.

Cat sitters on Rover care for your cats’ needs and can spend quality time with them, including activities like feeding, playing, and refreshing their water and litter boxes. Depending on your arrangement, you can schedule as many visits per day as your cat needs or find a sitter who can stay at your house overnight. Some sitters also board cats in their home.
House sitting can be ideal for cats who need socialization or care that lasts longer than a few hours. Your cat stays in their own home, on their own schedule, with care based on what you and your sitter agree on together.
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 .
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.
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 sitter 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 sitter 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 sitter for longer stays or first-time bookings. Read our tips for your first .

Same-day cancellations for recurring services, which include walks, drop-ins, and day care, follow the full refund policy.

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 sitter.
