“Bettina was absolutely wonderful. My skiddish kitties let her pet them, so she must have cat whisperer powers! Great communication before and during the visits. Highly recommend her.”
About: As a long time pet parent myself, I understand how important it is to find someone you truly trust with your animals. I treat every pet in my care the same way I’d want mine to be treated—with patience, attention, and genuine love. Your pet’s comfort, safety, and happiness are always my top priorities—I look forward to meeting you and your furry family members! A typical day with me is structured around your pet’s routine to keep them happy and stress-free. For walks and drop-in visits, I make sure your dog gets the right balance of exercise, love, and attention! During visits, I can also help with feeding, refreshing water, administering basic medications if needed, and making sure your pet feels safe and relaxed while you’re away. I’m currently offering dog walking and in-home drop-in visits. I provide attentive, personalized care to ensure your pet feels safe, comfortable, and happy at all times. Also, have experience with Seniors.
“Jessica was amazing! She provided thorough updates on her time with my cats, and let us know how they were doing under her care. Loved the photos she sent and she even got some playing time in too. Would definitely book again!”
“Hannah was incredibly attentive and responsible while taking care of Delta during our time away. She kept the litter box and food bowls clean, and we really appreciated the thoughtful care she provided. We’d be more than happy to book with Hannah again in the future!”
“Great cat sitter! Tara left detailed notes each time and went above and beyond to buy more supplies when needed. She was also very polite respectful of boundaries for both my home and my cats.”
“Madeleine was very nice, respectful, and helpful while taking care of my cats. There were a couple of minor hiccups—she arrived late on the first day and spent quite a bit of time on her phone rather than actively playing with the cats—but overall, she provided good care, and everything went well.”
“She was amazing! Krystle is so nice too. It was my first time using Rover and I had never left my babies with anyone so I was scared but she kept me updated throughout the day! Will definitely be keeping her info for next time!”
About: I have grown up and taken care of animals most of my life. I am a reliable care taker who prioritizes communication to give you and your furry friend the best experience I possibly can and beyond. I am currently working part-time which makes my schedule perfect and flexible to help out wherever is needed! I have reliable transportation to get me to and from your furry friend! I am comfortable doing home visits whether that be for a few hours a day or over night. I take pride in my ability to give your furry friend the love and attention they need while you are away!
About: I have had pets my entire life. I currently have two rescue dogs and two rescue cats of my own. I will spoil your pet as if they were mine and I’m happy to provide photos and or videos during my visit. I work full-time, but with enough notice I can also work remotely and stay with your pet if needed during the day. I am also available for drop ins as needed. I currently am unable to care for pets in my own home due to my pets personalities but am happy to watch them in their home environment.
“Callie is a fantastic cat sitter and provides so many helpful details to let us know the cats and are home are all in good shape. Also our cats are a little temperamental and melodramatic and they all love her.”
“Sara is an ABSOLUTE DREAM to work with!! She is so kind and generous with her time and attention, she is extremely diligent and thorough in taking care of your pets and all of the requirements they may have, she is easy to communicate with and very responsive, and she is absolutely respectful and trustworthy of every possible responsibility you could ever require of her! 5 stars and a short review could never elucidate what a gem you are, Sara!! Anyone who needs the perfect sitter, LOOK NO FURTHER!!!”
“Jennifer was amazing! Between the communication, administering pills to a grumpy cat, and being so friendly, she really goes above and beyond. Would not hesitate to hire her again!”
About: Hello, my name is Sierra. This is my first time on rover.com, however, I have had dogs and cats for as long as I can remember, and have been sitting dogs/cats for the last 4 years for friends, family, and others and enjoy doing so as I love animals. Currently I’m available and very flexible with my schedule, and openings. Given the chance I will treat your fur baby with the love and care I show my own. I currently work a full time job with flexible hours. Typically I’m available for short walks/checkins between 8am-4pm M-F, anytime before or after that. I also have open weekend availability! I have 2 animals at home, one of which is not friendly with other dogs so no sitting at my home. I am happy to do pet sitting at a clients home including medication, meal times, walks, and playtime.
“Maria did an awesome job taking care of my 2 cats while I was out of town. She is professional, courteous, and caring. My cats are feral cats that I took in a year ago. They are scared of people and run from anyone but me. By the time I came back from my trip, Maria was playing with them and giving them massages. I would have never guessed this was possible. In addition, I felt comforted with the daily updates and pictures she sent. I highly recommend using Maria if you are looking for a caring person that you can trust with your pets and will definitely be using her again in the future.”
“Taylor was a great sitter! She was very responsive even when I first messaged her, and my cat loved her as soon as she walked in my apartment. Also, Taylor was very flexible with my changing travel plans.”

I provide a loving, patient and reliable care while making sure every pet feels safe, happy and comfortable. I’m happy to help with feeding, walking, playtime, companionship, and maintaining your pets normal routine! I will treat your pets as they are my own. Your pets safety, comfort and happiness is my top priority! My schedule allows me to offer pet care Fridays through Mondays. I’m unavailable Tuesdays through Thursdays due to work commitments. I’m happy to work with pet parents to coordinate visits that work best for both of our schedules! As a pet owner myself, safety is my top priority. I also understand how important it is to have trust in people that are taking care of your fur babies. I’m happy to provide updates and photos so you can feel confident and comfortable that your pets are in good hands.
“Emily took perfect care of my kitties and did everything I asked. She gave me thorough updates and even cleaned up their messes. They don’t like strangers and they were out playing with her and trusting her to give treats during visits. I plan on booking her again! 🤗”
About: With 10 years of experience caring for pets of all ages, sizes, and needs, I understand that every animal deserves personalized care. As a pet owner myself, I have experience with everything from energetic puppies and senior dogs to bottle-fed kittens and insulin-dependent pets. I provide flexible, attentive care, along with regular updates and clear communication, so you can have the same peace of mind I would want when my own pets are in someone else’s care. Pet sitting fits into my weekly routine, giving me the opportunity to check in, take walks, or provide longer care tailored to each adorable pet. I care for pets the same way I’d want someone to care for mine—with attention, patience, and respect for their routines. I follow each pet’s specific needs, from daily walks and diets to unique quirks and preferences shared by the owner.

Cat parents share their Rover experiences - Birmingham
She did a great job taking care of my cat while I was away for three days! She visited every day, took care of her feeding and litter box, and spent time playing with her. She also sent daily photo updates, which gave me peace of mind while I was away. My cat was doing well when I got home, and the litter box was clean. I really appreciate her care and communication, and I would happily book her again. Highly recommend!
Kylie did such an amazing job taking care of my boy. I was so worried to leave him because I hadn’t left him alone before but as soon as I met Kylie I knew he would be in good hands. She provided updates and photos of him and it made me feel better and able to enjoy my vacation. I would highly recommend her!

Frequently asked questions about Rover
The average cost of Cat Sitting in Birmingham is $27 per visit as of November 2026. Most bookings cost between $17 and $32 per visit. On Rover, sitters 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 long as your booking dates and pet profiles are accurate, the price shown before you confirm is the total, including any booking fee.
As of November 2026, there are 551 sitters on Rover offering Cat Sitting across Birmingham. Enter your ZIP code to see which available sitters are closest to your home.
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 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.
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 Meet & Greet.

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.
sitters 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 sitter.
