About: As the proud owner of a sweet, Chocolate Lab named Charlie Brown, I know firsthand that our animals aren’t “just pets”—they’re family! I offer professional, reliable drop-in visits and walks tailored specifically to your dog's unique energy levels and safety requirements. I’ll make sure your pets get plenty of attention, exercise, playtime, potty breaks, cuddles or whatever your pet loves most to make their day extra special. I’m happy to follow their usual routine and take the time to make them feel comfortable, happy, and cared for. I’ve always loved dogs and truly enjoy being around them. In fact, even when I’m on vacation, I find myself looking for ways to spend time with dogs! On my last vacation, I visited a local shelter and ended up taking one of the dogs out for the day—just because I wanted to give them some extra love, attention, and a fun break from the kennel and it was so rewarding. I genuinely love dogs! I’m also a cat lover and happy to care for your cats, too! I’ll make sure they have fresh food and water, a clean litter box, attention, and of course plenty of love while you’re away. I’ve spent the past 20 years caring for pets as an adult and have had cats and dogs throughout my entire life. I’d love to give your pets that same love and attention I give mine, while they’re in my care. I work part-time, which gives me a flexible schedule and allows me to accommodate both recurring and occasional walks or drop-in visits. I’m happy to work around your schedule and your pet’s routine whenever possible. **If you do not see open availability on a particular date for which you would like to request my services, please message me and I will let you know if I am available to accommodate your pet's needs** I want your pet to feel comfortable, loved, and cared for while you’re away. During drop-in visits, I’ll give them plenty of attention, playtime, potty breaks, fresh water, and companionship. For walks, I’ll make sure they get safe, enjoyable exercise at their own pace. I’ll follow your pet’s normal routine and any special instructions you leave, and I’ll always treat your home and your pet with the same care and respect I would want for my own. //What a Premium Visit with Me Includes: * Safety-First Leash Manners: Attentive handling to ensure no slipping collars, harnesses or reactive encounters on walks. * Real-Time Digital Tracking: You will receive detailed Rover Cards with GPS walk routes, exact potty logs, and multiple high-quality photos during every visit. * Home Security Assurance: Diligent care taken with your home's locking mechanisms, alarm systems, and respect of your home. * Custom Routines: Strict adherence to your pet's precise feeding, requests & timelines.

About: My husband Eric (who is a Rover sitter as well) and I are certified Fear Free Pet Sitters. We love dogs and will treat yours as our own "kids" while they are in our care. In fact, many families who trust us with their furry family members come back to wonder who really got the luxury vacation (....clearly the dog, of course...). If you are seeking drop-ins or dog walking, please visit my husband Eric's Rover profile (https://www.rover.com/sit/ericg16925). We currently have three dogs - Deogee, Luna, and Smokie. They love to play with their doggie friends! In addition, I grew up with large dogs - chow/retriever mix, 2 greyhounds, and a Lab/Great Dane mix- and also took care of my family friends' dogs when they needed daycare, boarding, or helping hand in training. I personally trained Denver, my lab/great Dane mix, and all three of our current dogs. The Fear Free Pet Sitter Certification Program is a course reviewed by the PSI (Pet Sitters International) and NAPPS (National Association of Professional Pet Sitters) that aims to equip pet sitters with a scientifically sound knowledge base in animal body language, dog walking, behavior and training basics, enrichment, home life, travel, administering medications, and more. We renew our certification every year, and also participate in professional development throughout the year to keep up our knowledge. The Fear Free Mission Statement is to prevent and alleviate fear, anxiety, and stress in pets by inspiring and educating the people who care for them. In our home, we take the Fear Free Mission Statement to heart. We do not use fear based equipment and aim to always minimize your pet's fear, anxiety, and stress (FAS). I am a freelance musician and music teacher in the public schools, so my availability is very flexible during weekends,summer, and holidays and my work hours are reasonable. We are avid runners and enjoy being outdoors, and will take any dogs who are boarding with us for daily exercise, in addition to spending time playing with them in our spacious backyard. Our daily routine revolves around our dogs. In the morning, we take the dogs outside, then go running. Then, we feed the dogs. We break up the work day by playing with the dogs. In the evening the dogs are fed, then get a walk and some playtime. I have a fenced in yard at my home, and also gates in my home that allow me to control the environment and make it as safe as possible. Most of the time, the dogs are allowed to freely roam and play throughout my home, but if they need to take a break from the other dogs, we have the capability of giving dogs their own space.
About: I love dogs and taking them on walks. I have 3 cats of my own and I love to play with their toys with them. I’ve found that dogs love to cuddle with me, and I would love to get them outside! I am willing to work with whatever works for your pet! I am pretty much available all summer! I love to take walks in the morning, but I can do whenever you prefer. I can stop by later on to check on them as well. Whatever works for you! When I go to my boyfriend’s house, I play with their dogs all day long and take them on walks later in the afternoon after it’s cooled down outside. I have 3 cats of my own, I play with them throughout the day, give them treats in the middle of the day, and give them dinner at night. 1 of them chooses to lay with me at night. I had 1 cat for 10 years but he recently passed away. He did everything with me, he went on walks with me outside and loved car rides surprisingly. He would lay with me all night, every night. I’ve found that dogs LOVE to cuddle with me as well!
“Debbie is remarkable! Her love for my pup Charlie is a constant, and it shows in every interaction they have. Charlie absolutely adores her and gets so excited whenever she arrives. Debbie is dependable, caring, and always goes above and beyond to make sure Charlie is happy, safe, and well cared for. She gives me complete peace of mind knowing he's in such loving and capable hands. I couldn't ask for a better dog walker, and I wholeheartedly recommend Debbie to anyone looking for someone who will treat their pet like family.”
About: I have been watching all types of animals since I was able to. Growing up in Texas, I have taken care of dogs, cats, fish, etc. I’ve spent up to a week in others homes taking care of their pets, plants, and houses. Currently, I watch friends of mine animals which includes cats and dogs. I work from home three days out of the week and can be very flexible with taking animals out for bathrooms breaks/walks, etc. I am unavailable on Wednesdays, but flexible the other days of the week. I have a wonderful apartment and live very close to walking trails/outside space that I can take animals to. If the animals requires a cage, I have room for that as well. I can also come to your home and take care of any needs.
“Kayleigh is extremely attentive to my little DIVA! She sent great photos of my little cherub and let ne know the details of her visit , which makes all the difference in the world!”
About: I love dogs and have volunteered at the local shelter for the past 6 years...walking, feeding, cleaning cages of dogs and cats. I have owned several dogs over the years...all rescues and mixed bully breeds. I am currently retired so I have plenty of time to spend time taking care of your fur-babies. My home is pet friendly and I enjoy taking your pet for walks. I have a fenced yard. I can easily crate your dog if needed. Dogs are allowed on the furniture and in my bed. I enjoy taking dogs for walks and there are several walking paths in my neighborhood.

Frequently asked questions about Rover
The average cost of Dog Walking in Birmingham is $24 per walk as of November 2026. Most bookings cost between $14 and $33 per walk. On Rover, walkers 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 8,318 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 Birmingham. Since all dog walkers are local, they may have a neighborhood dog who is a good walking companion to yours.
For dog walking bookings, your dog walker can send a Rover Card with details about your dog’s walk. Rover Cards require at least one photo and may include a map of the walking route, the total walk time and distance, and any pee or poop breaks recorded by the walker.
The route map lets you review where your dog was walked in Birmingham after the booking. It is not live GPS tracking.
Have specific details you would like included? Message your dog walker in the app before the walk begins.
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:
- 87% of walkers can help with special care needs
- 92% 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 walker 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 walker 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 walker for longer stays or first-time bookings. Read our tips for your first Meet & Greet.
walkers 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 walker.
