About: What sets me apart is that I genuinely love spending time with dogs and making sure they feel safe, happy, and cared for while you’re away. I have experience with puppies, senior dogs, and administrating medication, and I’m comfortable with dogs of all sizes and personalities. I’m reliable, patient, and attentive to each dog’s unique needs, whether that means an active walk, playtime, or extra cuddles. I also provide regular updates and photos, so you can have peace of mind knowing your pup is in good hands and being treated like family. Caring for pets fits well into my weekly routine. I work from home most of the week and have a flexible schedule, allowing me to take walks, provide drop-in visits, and spend quality time with pets throughout the day. I enjoy being active and getting outside, so walks and playtime are something I genuinely look forward to. Other than occasional client meetings, I can easily adjust my schedule to match your pets needs and make sure they receive plenty of attention, exercise, and companionship while you’re away. I believe dogs do best when they can stick to their normal routine. Whether I’m providing a walk, drop-in visit, or house sitting, I take the time to learn your dogs needs and make sure they feel safe, comfortable, and cared for. I provide plenty of attention, exercise, playtime, and affection, along with regular updates and photos so you can have peace of mind while you’re away.
“Kelly is the best! She went to see Garfield before the she officially started the sitting, and have a great time with Garfield during the sitting! Garfield was feed with fresh food, wet food and water! Kelly is so nice, professional, welcoming, and sweet! She got great experience with both dogs and cats! I would recommend her to everyone and definitely would like Kelly to take care of Garfield in the future!”
About: I've raised and cared for my baby dog Lola also known as lolanaptimepartygirl since I was 10, pets have always played a very important role in my life. I love animals of all kinds and ages having 4 senior dogs of my own. I believe all animals deserve love and respect as they are not only friends but family, and it is truly an honor to get to exist in a world where we are able to connect with and care for such beautiful kind creatures. I work a part time job that's pretty flexible so I'm relatively available whenever. My schedule changes weekly so just let me know what you need and I'll make it work! I have a fenced in yard and gates that are available to be set up throughout the house. I am also able to crate your pet if needed.
“Emily was awesome. She was able to provide great drop-in care for my cat while I was away. She has obvious compassion for animals and makes sure they are well taken care of. I will definitely use her again.”
“Scott goes the extra mile to make sure our skittish cat is well taken care of. She is afraid of everyone - but she has warmed up to Scott. I highly recommend Scott - he’s an excellent pet sitter!”
“Stephanie was great with my cat Boris - she was very responsive and attentive, and proactive about asking questions. I would definitely book Stephanie to look after Boris again!”
“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!”
“Rebecca has been great with Jasper! He obviously likes her and enjoys her company, and she is completely reliable and kind to him. I’m happy we connected with her!”
“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!”
“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 grew up with dogs and have been around them for most of my life, so caring for them has always felt natural to me. Over the years, I have also watched my neighbors’ dogs, providing feeding, walks, playtime, companionship, and plenty of attention while their owners were away. What sets me apart is that I am dependable, patient, and attentive to each dog’s individual personality and routine. I understand how important it is for pets to feel safe and comfortable when their owners are not home, and I will follow your care instructions closely. I am also happy to provide regular updates and photos so you can feel confident that your dog is well cared for. I am currently not working leaving me available for stopping in for visits or taking for walks. I love exercise and being outside! To have a companion with me would be great! Your pet’s safety and comfort will always be my priority. During walks, I will use the leash and equipment you provide, remain aware of our surroundings, avoid unsafe situations, and follow any instructions regarding other dogs, people, traffic, or preferred walking routes. For drop-in visits, I will carefully follow your pet’s normal routine, including feeding, fresh water, bathroom breaks, playtime, and companionship. I will make sure doors, gates, and crates are securely closed before leaving. I will also respect your home, clean up after your pet as needed, and send updates and photos so you know your pet is safe and well cared for.

About: I've cared for dogs of all ages, sizes, and personalities. From playful puppies to sweet senior dogs who need a little extra TLC. What sets me apart is my calm, patient approach and genuine love for animals. I focus on keeping your pet both happy and safe, whether that means a high-energy walk, a gentle stroll, or extra attention for special needs. I'm attentive to each dog’s unique routines, and I’m always looking out for their well-being. I have two dogs and a cat of my own, so I understand the attentiveness that goes into caring for a fur baby! I currently work night shifts four to five days a week, so my days are free and flexible, perfect for dog walking and daytime check-ins! I’m available for morning and afternoon walks, and I always make sure to give each pet my full attention and energy. My schedule allows me to build consistent routines with you and your pet!

About: I’ve been watching dogs on Wag and Rover for 6+ years now! I’ve also volunteered at the Humane Society and therapeutic horses. I’m great with all sizes and types of dogs and the fur baby I have is extremely docile and has never hurt another human or animal (including bunnies, cats, and even guinea pigs 😂) I am currently unemployed so I have the daily availability to take care of your pet like it’s my own. We will go on at least 3 walks per day (unless told otherwise), and enjoy the summer sunshine while avoiding the deathly heat 🥵 I am always careful to never let their leash of out of my hands (unless told otherwise). I will treat them as if they were my own and won’t let them eat anything that looks suspicious.

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.

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.

- 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.
