“FANTASTIC! Gary went above and beyond when caring for my beloved pets!! He definitely provided a genuine sense of comfort to me while I was out of town! He was very communicative and I have nothing but positive things to say about my pups' experience with him!”
“I had to extend my time out from home and Brianna was a hero to me since she accepted my request in a very short of notice. She kindly responded my request in minutes and watched out for my dogs in the next day. Thank you Brianna!”
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.
“This is my second time having Heather check in on my pup! She is so amazing! Always brings my pup, Kerby, little toys and treats! Kerby seems to love her too!! So thankful for her help!!”
“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!”
“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.”
“Camrynn and Shawn are so awesome and took such good care of our girls! Always on time, took pictures, and went above and beyond and checked on our cat even when they were just there to let out our dog.”
“Kristina has watched our babies twice so far. She is definitely trustworthy and caring with them. She is on time and sends us cute pictures which helps ease our minds knowing they're safe. Our English Bulldog is a bit shy and skittish, and she definitely warmed up to her right very quickly! I highly recommend Kristina”
About: As a dog owner myself, I understand the responsibility that comes with caring for someone’s pet. I’m dependable, attentive, and comfortable with dogs of different personalities and energy levels. I enjoy staying active and would love to help give your dog the exercise and attention they need throughout the day.😊 Pet care fits easily into my daily schedule. I have a flexible schedule and am available throughout the week for walks and drop-in visits. I’m able to plan my day around the pets I’m caring for. (Weekends: upon request) Your dog’s safety and comfort are my top priorities. As a dog owner myself, I understand how important it is to trust the person caring for your pet. I’ll always pay close attention to your dog’s behavior, surroundings, and individual needs during walks and visits. I provide a calm, caring, and safe environment where your pup can feel comfortable and well cared for. I’ll also follow any specific instructions you provide so you can feel confident knowing your dog is in good hands.
“Veronica watched our cat & dog for 5 days while we were away, and when we come home our animals were SO happy compared to when we board them or hire someone else! She is lovely to work with too. Thank you so much Veronica!”
“Rebecca was awesome, she is great at communicating and responding to your texts, she was also always on time, and took a lot of great photos of my cat and provided updates for my family and I to see while we were on vacation. I would definitely book with her again :).”
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.
“Jordan was awesome! Responded quickly to my request for services. Took initiative to learn more about Watson prior to visit. He on time for both visits, played/walked Watson and sent great pics. Highly recommend Jordan. Will definetley use him again.”
About: Hi there! I’m a lifelong dog lover with hands-on experience caring for pups of all sizes and energy levels. My pet care journey began while working at a professional dog daycare/boarding kennel, where I gained experience with canine behavior, feeding schedules, and administering medication. That experience gave me a solid foundation in safety, structure, and understanding dogs’ unique needs. Outside of that, I’ve been the go-to dog sitter and walker for friends and family for years. Whether it’s overnight boarding or daily walks, I’m known for being reliable, punctual, and genuinely loving toward every dog I meet. I treat every pet like they’re my own—with lots of affection, attention, and tailored care. I pride myself on creating a safe, fun, and comforting environment whether your pup is boarding or just a walk around the block. You can count on me to communicate clearly, show up on time, and make sure your dog gets the love, exercise, and care they deserve. I’m currently a full time student & working part-time. I have open availability for dog walking Sunday-Thursday and after 3pm Friday & Saturday. Boarding availability can be discussed :) Whether I’m staying overnight or just spending the day, I’m committed to providing a calm, caring environment where your pup feels safe and loved. I treat every dog like family and always focus on their comfort, routine, and happiness.

Pet parents share their Rover experiences - Birmingham
We’ve had Hadley take care of Nini several times now, and we couldn’t be happier! She’s reliable, caring, and always takes great care of her. Nini already recognizes her before she even comes through the door and runs over to greet her, which says it all. We’re very happy to have found her and would absolutely recommend her!
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!
We had an amazing experience with Dany! She was absolutely wonderful with our two babies, Peanut and Shayla (our pit and pit mix). From the very beginning, she was kind, personable, and made us feel completely at ease while we were away. For every drop-in visit, Dany sent us pictures and updates, which gave us so much peace of mind knowing our dogs were happy and well cared for. She went above and beyond to make sure they were comfortable and loved. We even accidentally forgot to feed the dogs before leaving, and Dany had no problem stepping in and taking care of it for us. Her willingness to help and attention to detail truly meant a lot. It’s clear that she genuinely cares about the animals she looks after. Peanut and Shayla were in great hands, and we wouldn’t hesitate to book with her again. Highly recommend Dany to anyone looking for a reliable, caring, and trustworthy pet sitter!
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!

If you would like updates while you’re away, you can discuss with your sitter how many or how frequent you’d like those updates to be.

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.

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 .

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.
