“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.”
“Julia was amazing whie we were away! She dropped in on our two eldery dogs four times each day. Julia ensured that they ate their meals, took medicine, and spent considerable time at the house during each visit to keep them company. She was always quick to respond via text. This experience was so much better than boarding!”
“I’ve tried other sitters to see who I can have as a backup for Brianna, and Brianna routinely outshines them all. Always get the best care, great photos, and great little descriptions of the visit. Worth every penny.”
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.
About: I’ve taken care of dogs and cats my whole life! We’ve always had dogs in the family, big and small. I’ve been fostering animals (cats, dogs, bunnies) for about 2 years now as well! I’ve cared for kittens, feral kittens, grown cats, puppies that are learning basic commands and potty training, adult dogs. I’ve also taken care of animals that need extra care, ones that aren’t comfortable around humans or came from stressful situations. I’m available Saturday & Sunday! Monday through Friday I work 9am-6pm, so I’d be available before or after. My lunch is from 1-2pm, if you’re near Troy I could possibly make that work as well! I respect animals and allow them the space to feel comfortable and interact on their terms! I’m also very mindful of surroundings and am naturally a very tidy person.
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.
“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”
“Jackie was amazing from start to finish! We needed to find someone for our two dogs at the last minute for our wedding after our usual sitter needed to cancel. Jackie responded quickly, made sense of what I’m sure we’re not the most clear instructions, and treated our girls like princesses. We got thorough report cards and multiple pictures with each drop in. We would one hundred percent hire Jackie again and recommend her to anyone looking!”
“Lizzi did an amazing job caring for my cat. She is thoughtful, professional and wonderful with animals. Jacamo is a little shy but in no time Lizzi became his fast friend. I really appreciate Lizzi for helping me out when I was in a bind for pet care. ??”
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.
“Hannah was wonderful and took great care of our cats while away. She was prompt, responsive, understanding, and accommodating for our cats' needs. We absolutely would be happy to have her look after them again.”
“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!”
About: Hi there! Thank you for visiting my pup care profile! I have extensive experience caring for every breed and size dog, especially senior care. I have cared for 2 senior pups of my own and within the family. My last girl made it to 16! My current fav senior is named Barney and he is 14 🐾 My dog now is a young fellow, a Yorkie mix rescue who gives me a run for my money 😆 He is the cutest! As for what I offer, I will always go above and beyond to ensure complete comfort for your specific and unique furry fam member! Making sure they are content as a bee, after having spent a stroll/visit together :) I take tons of pics on my visits and truly enjoy giving updates, so you can definitely expect utmost care for your pet when I am there !
“Samantha was great! She was very thorough in taking care of my kitties and left the house better than she found it. She provided so many photos and updates of her visits. I would book with her again!”
About: Enjoy your vacation, time off, or special event with the peace of mind knowing your pets will be with a caring and loving pet sitter who specializes in caring for senior dogs, cats and pets with anxiety. I offer my home as a retreat for your pets to relax, rewind and rejuvunate. Your pets will be pampered with a relaxing quiet environment, treats,belly rubs,cuddles and headpats.

Has access to a large outdoor courtyard and 3-4 nearby parks I can walk your dogs to get ample exercise and playtime.
“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!”
About: I currently have a senior dog and a cat so I’ve had a broad range of experience with different ages of pets. I’m accustomed to giving animals medications as well as catering to an animals needs such as diet or activity level. I love all pets equally so whatever they need, I’ll give them! I currently work part time while I am finishing school. I am free during the week on Wednesday and Friday as well as weekends for walks or during the day check ins. I treat a pet as another person that I live with. I am always looking out for their needs and want to make their lives as comfortable and enjoyable as possible. Whether it’s going on a walk or simply being a person to share the room with, I want your pets to have the best time possible.
About: I'm Bunny's proud dog mommy. She's an adorable, 5-year-old chihuahua/schnauzer mix I adopted when she was a puppy. She is my entire world! I understand how BIG of a responsibility caring for your pet is, and I will always be sure to provide care exactly as requested. In the past, I've also watched over other dogs and a few cats, which included overnight stay. I work remotely, so I am able to provide care before work as long as you don't live too far away. I can also provide care after work, which usually ends at 5 PM. If you give me enough of a heads up, I can sometimes provide services during my lunch break, which can be done between noon - 2 PM. I can provide basic care, such as dog walks, refill food/water bowls, playtime, dog park visits, etc. However, I am not comfortable with giving medication to pets.
About: Leaving your dog with someone else is a big deal, and I’m here to make that experience stress-free! While I’m new to Rover, I’ve spent years caring for furry friends, including my sisters Australian Shepard for the past 8 years. I especially love playful, high-energy dogs and enjoy long walks, playtime, cuddles and plenty of attention! My goal is to treat each dog like my own and make each pup feels loved and cared for while their humans are away:) I currently have lots of free time and would love to fill it up. My schedule is pretty flexible. I am available for day of bookings if needed:) I am good at following instructions to every detail. I enjoy exploring new walking paths if the dogs are open to it, otherwise we can stick to the usual routines.

Pet parents share their Rover experiences - Birmingham
Brandon was absolutely wonderful with my dog. He went above and beyond to make sure Gable was well cared for, even picking up after his toys and surprising him with a new one! He was thoughtful, attentive, and clearly went the extra mile. I really appreciated the care he showed, and I would absolutely book him again. Highly recommend!
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!

Frequently asked questions about Rover
The average cost of Pet Sitting in Birmingham is $27 per visit as of November 2026. Most bookings cost between $18 and $43 per visit. On Rover, sitters set their own rates based on factors such as their experience, the length of care, the number of pets, and your pet’s specific needs. As long as your booking dates and pet profiles are accurate, the price shown before you confirm is the total, including any booking fee.
As of November 2026, there are 3,778 sitters on Rover offering Pet Sitting across Birmingham. Enter your ZIP code to see which available sitters are closest to your home.
You and your sitter can agree on a care schedule that fits your pet’s routine and the sitter’s availability. Pet Sitting can be booked as a one-time or recurring drop-in visit. If you need overnight care or dog walks, you may also be able to book House Sitting or Dog Walking through Rover with the same sitter, provided they offer those services.
Before booking, confirm:
- the timing, length, and frequency of visits;
- the care instructions the sitter should follow;
- which parts of your pet’s usual routine should be prioritized;
- how often you would like to receive messages, photos, or other updates.
Not every sitter offers the same services, availability, or booking options. Review their profile and discuss the care you need through Rover before booking each service.
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. The Rover app allows sitters to send photos, videos, and messages about your pet, including how many pee or poop breaks occurred. You can message your sitter at any time through the app and our support team is available 24/7 by email or chat if you have concerns.
The personalized, in-home nature of pet care through Rover can mean more individual attention for your pet.
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.
Yes, you can find sitters who have experience with handling special pet needs in Birmingham. On Rover:
- 90% of sitters can help with special care needs
- 94% can help with giving oral medications or injections
- 96% 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 casual meeting to vet potential sitters and communicate care needs for peace of mind before a booking begins. Only sitters who have never booked with you before can schedule a Meet & Greet on Rover; however, you are welcome to coordinate one in Rover messages with sitters you have previously booked. 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 Meet & Greet.
sitters on Rover set their own cancellation policy, which you can find on their profile under their contact information. Sitters may set a same-day, one-, three-, or seven-day cancellation policy. Cancelling within your sitter’s cancellation policy qualifies you for a full refund.
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.
