“Max was great with my German Shepherd, Breezy. My boy can be alot lol, and many people can't handle larger energetic breeds, but Max won him over and seemed to walk him with ease. Breezy was returned happy and tired, which was my goal while I was working. Communication with Max was positive and clear from the start. I recommend!”
“Samantha takes such good care of our dog. She is very reliable, professional and caring. We know Maggie is in good hands during the bookings. We cannot recommend Samantha enough!”
“Very professional! She always arrived on time, gave them good long walks, took pics of their walks, she was even kind to let me know about their bowel movements and health state when applicable, both doggies always returned happy and exercised and looked like they both enjoyed a lot their walks with Gabriela. Highly recommend her a lot!!”
About: I've had dogs for as long as I can remember. I started raising dogs while I was still living with my parents decades ago, and looking back, I don't think there has ever been a time in my life when I didn't have a dog by my side. I've raised my dogs from about 8 weeks old through every stage of their lives. My current dog, Wrigley, is a Golden Retriever who is now over 9 years old. I recently retired, which gives me the time and flexibility to give your dog the attention, care, and companionship they deserve. I'm not looking to simply keep busy — I genuinely enjoy being around dogs and spending time with them. Over the years, I've learned how to understand dogs, handle them confidently, and care for them with patience, caution, and respect. Whether it's going for a walk, playing, providing companionship, or simply making sure they're comfortable and safe, I enjoy the responsibility that comes with caring for someone's pet. When your dog is with me, my goal is simple: to treat them with the same patience, attention, and care that I would want for my own dog. My schedule is very flexible, and I'm available throughout the week, including weekends. I'm confident we can arrange a schedule that fits both your needs and mine. I provide pet care in the comfort of your pet's own home, along with walks, playtime, and plenty of attention. If it's a good fit for your pet's needs, we also have access to a secure, fenced dog park in our Troy community where they can safely exercise, socialize, and have fun.
“Shareen does such a good job with our 2 Standard Golden doodles. One is a very EXCITED Puppy and she handles her so well. Besides walking our girls, she truly cares about our dogs. She goes beyond and above for them and us. You must give her a try, you definitely will not be sorry!!!”
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.

About: Caring for dogs has been a part of my life for as long as I can remember. I grew up surrounded by dogs, cats, and other pets, so understanding their personalities and needs comes naturally. I've walked and cared for rescue dogs with a wide range of temperaments and energy levels at the dog shelter I've volunteered in. I've also dog sat for friends and family over the years, and have even helped care for Rover clients' dogs on behalf of friends who were sitters. These experiences have taught me how important it is to provide not just basic care, but patience, consistency, and lots of affection. I treat every dog as if they were my own, whether they love long walks, energetic playtime, or simply relaxing with good company. My goal is always to make pets feel safe, comfortable, and loved while giving owners complete peace of mind through reliable care and regular updates. I'm employed full-time, but I have a flexible hybrid work schedule and can work from home when needed to provide attentive care for your pup. Pet care is a priority in my daily routine, and I intend to make time for walks, playtime, feeding, and plenty of attention. An added bonus is that my wife, who's an even bigger dog lover than I am and has owned dogs throughout her life, is home during the day. That means your pup will have extra companionship, supervision, and lots of affection while staying with us. On weekends, we're both home and can dedicate our full attention to keeping your dog active, happy, and comfortable. The best care comes from keeping pets comfortable by following the routine they're already familiar with. I'll stick to your feeding schedule, walking routine, potty breaks, playtime, bedtime, and any special instructions you provide. If your dog has medications, dietary restrictions, or favorite toys and activities, I'll make sure those needs are met. I enjoy playing with dogs, going on walks, and making sure they get both physical activity and time to relax. I also know how reassuring updates can be, so I'll send regular photos and messages so you can see how your pet is doing while you're away.

About: Hi! I’m new to Rover, but not new to caring for dogs. I’ve always been the friend people trust to walk and care for their pups, and I genuinely love spending time with dogs. I previously volunteered with the ASPCA and am hoping to adopt a dog of my own soon. When your dog is with me, they’ll get more than just a walk—they’ll get plenty of exercise, affection, water breaks, and photo updates so you can see them having fun. I tailor each walk to your dog’s personality and energy level, and I treat every pup like they’re my own. While I’m new to Rover, I’m happy to provide references from friends whose dogs I’ve cared for. My goal is simple: a happy, well-exercised dog and a confident, worry-free owner. I currently work from home and can typically walk dogs before work, during lunch breaks, evenings, and weekends. Please contact me and we can work out a time. Your dog’s safety is my top priority. I’ll carefully follow your instructions, use secure leash handling, avoid unsafe situations, and treat your home with the same respect I’d expect for my own.

“Kim is fabulous. Very reliable and so good at this. She loves and cares for our pups as if they were her own. She is a great partner and highly trusted by our family. We hope to have her support for many years to come.”
About: After caring others pets to my own, I realize that no two furbabies are the same. Some require more patience and attention, while others need their freedom and a guiding hand. I am here to offer all of that! I have always been a dog and cat person. Growing up, I had a sweet little guinea pig since we didn't have the room for something bigger. However, he was never just a pet, he was a part of my family. I always think about him when caring for other people's pets. Over the years, I have cared for cats, walked dogs, and even housed a few pets for a short time (although, one of my relatives is rather allergic so I cannot offer that service anymore). I cannot wait to connect with more animals! I am currently a student at Oakland Community College pursuing a career in computer science. Most of my Tuesday, Wednesday, and Thursday's are crammed with classes in the afternoon. However, I have plenty of time in the mornings and evenings. The rest of the days are free. Regardless of what animal you share your home with their everyday messes are inevitable. I like to keep them in a happy and clean environment at all times. Their physical and mental health is always my priority.

Frequently asked questions about Rover
The average cost for Dog Walking in Birmingham on Rover is $21.09 per walk (as of September 2026). However, all sitters set their own rates based on experience, location, and availability.
Rover makes budgeting the cost of Dog Walking 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 Walking. For more information on service fees, click here .
As of September 2026, there are 3,731 sitters on Rover offering Dog Walking across Birmingham. Enter your ZIP code to see which available sitters are closest to your home.
Whether you want a solo or group walk depends on your dog's personality. Solo walks can be beneficial for dog parents with reactive dogs, puppies, or dogs who are anxious around unfamiliar animals. Many dog walkers on Rover offer private, one-on-one walking services.
Group walks are a good fit for social dogs who enjoy structured walks. If your dog prefers the energy of a group stroll, ask your dog walker about group walks in your Birmingham. Since all dog walkers are local, they may have a neighborhood dog who is a good walking companion to yours.
For dog walking services, you can request a report card update with specifics about your dog’s walk. Report cards require photos and can include a map of the walking route , total walk time, poop and pee breaks, and distance traveled, so you know exactly where your dog has been walking in Birmingham.

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.
Every walker 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 .
Yes, you can find walkers who have experience with handling special pet needs in Birmingham. On Rover:
- 93% of walkers can help with special care needs
- 96% 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.
A Meet & Greet is a short introductory meeting between you, your dog, and a walker. It can take place in person or virtually, although we recommend in-person so that your pet can get to know your walker 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 walker questions about their skills and expertise, and make sure the fit feels right for everyone. Most pet parents and walkers 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.
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 walker.
