About: I’ve been caring for animals for over 10 years, starting as a teenager when I began pet sitting for family friends and neighbors, and I’ve loved it ever since. My primary experience is caring for dogs and cats of all sizes, ages, and temperaments, from energetic puppies and playful kittens to senior pets who need a slower, more gentle routine. I treat every dog and cat in my care like they’re my own, focusing on their comfort, safety, and happiness while you’re away. I tailor care to each pet’s needs, whether that means walks, playtime, enrichment, structured routines, or quiet companionship. I also have experience administering oral medications and injections when needed. I have additional hands-on experience with small pets and other animals, including birds and reptiles, which has strengthened my overall understanding of animal behavior and care. No matter the pet, I provide reliable, attentive care so they feel secure and well cared for in your absence. I’m currently a teacher on summer break and looking forward to spending my days doing something I truly enjoy—caring for animals! My schedule is very flexible, allowing me to provide attentive, consistent pet care throughout the day. I provide care exclusively in clients’ homes so pets can remain in their familiar, comfortable environment. I prioritize maintaining their normal routines and creating a calm, low-stress presence, and I aim to be as unobtrusive as possible in the home so pets feel safe and at ease while their owners are away.
“Max was great taking care of our cats and had great communication the whole time we were gone. Also went the extra mile and helped troubleshoot our sump pump when it had an issue while we were gone. Would use again!”

“Heather and Robert were amazing with our dog! We had just moved to the area and were going out of town and nervous about leaving her alone so soon after moving. Heather and Robert were so professional and kind and immediately put us at ease. They sent lots of pictures and updated us regularly which made us feel like we had really put our girl in the right hands. Will definitely be using them again!”
“I trust Brianna with my incredibly shy cat, she makes time to try to give her pets and churu treats even though the cat hides in a closet the whole time. Thank you for taking care of her again!”
“Genuinely an incredible cat sitter. Very attentive to detail, thoughtful, and friendly. Informative and thorough Rover Cards. Went above and beyond, even offering to take our trash to curb while away. Would 100% recommend for kittens or young cats.”
“Loved having Kathleen stop in and spend time with Cooper! She met all his needs as planned and he was well taken care of. I didn’t have to worry about him and that’s why I’d book her again. Thank you so much!”
“Emily has been great with our Lucy! You can tell she has a lot of experience and is a pet lover. Our Lucy who can be timid and high anxiety really took to Emily and even sat on her lap! Emily’s communication prior was great and she kept us informed on the visit including photos. We would highly recommend her especially if your pet has special needs.”
“This is my second time using Autumn, and I always feel very relaxed leaving Quentin. Autumn always gives me updates and I love the pictures. She goes above and beyond and I am grateful to have found her on rover. She plays with Quentin and I know he’s in great hands!! I will definitely be requesting her services again next time we go away. Thanks Autumn!”

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.
About: I have taken care of pets since I was 10 years old, large and small I’ve pretty much done it all. I have taken care of dogs from small to extra large over the years as well as rabbits, chickens and pigs growing up. I work full-time from home Monday through Fridays, so I am available throughout the day as needed. I am also a part-time graduate student taking classes online. I will take care of your pet as directed and keep the home clean and maintained while away. I am on top of cleaning up any mess as soon as I notice it and make sure it appears as if it was never there because accidents do happen.
“Jessica has been great with our dogs. We had a few special instructions and she took care of everything we needed. Our dogs get let out twice a week by her, and sometimes she stays longer than we asked. She’s very good at updating our Rover account with all of the details and photos from each visit!”
“Ashley was good with our cats and dog, and was always easy to reach! Her communication was great and she sent pictures, too. I will definitely book Ashley again. Thank you, Ashley!”
“This was our first experience with Rover. Kristin did a great job dropping in to visit, feed and let out our new puppy. I loved the photos she sent! We will definitely book her again.”
“Wonderful first experience with Abbey! Great communication and my little Stella is usually so shy and barky to new people, but she warmed up instantly to Abbey on our initial meet and greet. I will definitely be booking again, thank you :)”

Cat parents share their Rover experiences - Birmingham
This was our first time booking with Becca and we could not recommend her more. We have a 1 year old cat, who can be shy at first and she took the time to make him comfortable, including coming for a meet and greet. We were out of the country for 7 days, and did not worry once. The communication and pictures we received were great. She even brought in packages and trash cans for us. When we got home, I think our cat was upset that it wasn’t Becca walking into the house again! We will definitely be booking with Becca again in the future!
Alex and Zach are awesome, they are incredibly responsive and attentive to all correspondence, take amazing care of feeding and caring for my cats, and make sure they take pictures of my cats for each visit. I super appreciate this as it gives me peace of mind seeing my pets while I'm away, and I know they are in good hands. Thank you Alex and Zach!

Frequently asked questions about Rover
The average cost for Cat Sitting in Birmingham on Rover is $26.75 per visit (as of July 2026). However, all sitters set their own rates based on experience, location, and availability.
Rover makes budgeting the cost of Cat Sitting easy. As long as your dates and pet profiles are correct, the price you see before you book is the same price you pay for Cat Sitting. For more information on service fees, click here .
As of July 2026, there are 1,824 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 short introductory meeting between you, your cat, 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.
Yes, you can find sitters who have experience with handling special pet needs in Birmingham. On Rover:
- 94% of sitters can help with special care needs

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 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.
