It was just a first meet-and-greet, but Rebekah communicated clearly, was friendly, and seemed to put Ralphie at ease. Will definitely contact her for future drop-in and house sitting needs!

About: My family and I raised a pug named Poppy for 13 years and later another named Daisy. Poppy passed away last year after living a full and loving life under our care. I still miss her every day! Dogs seem to be drawn to me everywhere I go. And I’m always happy to play with them any opportunity I get! Don’t be surprised if you fur baby begs you to come back after our time together. Background in semi professional baseball and financial wealth management I work typically 9-6 on weekdays with some flexibility. Occasionally later depending on client meetings. Weekends I’m normally free, especially during the winter. I do play in multiple sports leagues, but those are usually on weeknights. I have a fenced in yard with a dog lead and is located within a subdivision away from a busy street. I also have a big open basement with padded floors for your pet to run around and play in. My house is very clean and even has brand new carpets. I allow pets on furniture, I just typically wipe off their paws after we return from walks or playing in the yard. My cat is friendly, but I also have a guest room upstairs she can stay in when company is over. No small objects or choking hazards around and very few breakable items for them to worry about running into.

We had such a great experience with Hannah. She took care of our cats for nearly two weeks and we felt completely at ease the entire time. We received regular updates and lots of photos. Wouldn’t hesitate to book with Hannah again!

This was our first time using Rover and it was a great experience! Rebecca was great! She stopped by our house to spend some quality time with our pup, Oscar, which gave us peace of mind while we were out at a wedding. It was so nice to get picture updates and know he was well taken care of while we were out for the night. Thank you, Rebecca!

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!

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.

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.

Ashley has always been great with my puppies. They are hard to handle and full of energy, and yet she somehow manages great photos and videos of them while keeping them entertained. She follows all special instructions to the letter, and she is always on time. Can’t say enough about how much my puppies love her visits!

About: My name is Christina and I would love to be your pets home away from home! Our family loves animals and will make sure your pet is well cared for and pampered while you’re away. Our family includes myself and my husband, and our two kids who are 9 and 15. We do not have any pets in our home right now, so your pet will be the center of attention! Please feel free to contact me with any questions! I look forward to meeting your furry loved ones. I’m currently working remote, with one day in the office so I am able to do frequent bathroom breaks and afternoon walks. My husband is able to assist with care on my days in office. I aim to keep to your pets normal schedule as much as possible. I have a fully fenced yard. My kids are 9 & 15 and they adore animals.

About: I have had two personal dogs for most of my life and currently have one dog of my own that is 4. I learned how to care of animals at a young age and have been around dogs all my life. I have dog and puppy sat many times in homes and in my own home. I absolutely adore all dogs! Dog walking is therapeutic and fun for me! I love to be outside, be active, and go for walks and I can’t wait for your dog to join me! I can guarantee the best and most personal care for your dog! I am so excited to treat your animal with kindness and your home with care and make your little friend’s day better and keep them active and loved! I work a typical 8-5 Monday through Friday but have flexibility in my schedule to fit in dog walking. If your dog can join mine on a walk, I usually am already out with mine after work and on the weekends. I have a large fenced in back yard and a dog of my own that absolutely loves to have a friend over to play with. She is friendly with all dogs and we puppy sit and dog sit in our home often. Your dog will be taken for walks as much or as little as requested, supervised and loved on.

Emily is amazing! So nice, friendly and good with the dogs. We have 3 smaller dogs and they can be a handful. They warmed up to her quickly and that makes me happy! Emily is so understanding that our pets are our children and I can see her passion and love for animals shine through brightly!

FAQs for Drop-In Visits - Birmingham

Frequently asked questions about Rover

The average cost for Dog Sitting in Birmingham on Rover is $27.2 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 Dog 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 Dog Sitting. For more information on service fees, click here .

As of July 2026, there are 3,753 sitters on Rover offering Dog Sitting across Birmingham. Enter your ZIP code to see which available sitters are closest to your 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 Birmingham 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.

Key handling is entirely up to you and your sitter to agree on during the Meet & Greet or in the Rover app. Most pet parents in Birmingham choose to hand over a spare key or digital fob in person, while others arrange a lockbox or unique access code. Don't forget to discuss key returns as well!

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 dog, 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.

While Rover doesn’t offer traditional subscription services, some sitters offer recurring bookings for services like home visits and dog walking. Recurring services come with their own perks, such as flexibility to modify services (up to five weeks in advance), automatic billing, Rover Card updates, and same-day cancellations.

To find sitters in Birmingham with recurring or weekly availability, select "Repeat Weekly" and which days you’d like them to care for your pet.

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
  • 97% 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.

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.
