Whitney stayed overnight with Bolt. Bolt immediately seemed at ease with her. She took him for his walks and fed him. We were delayed returning and she was gracious enough to stay until we returned. Will definitely book her services again. Thanks Whitney!

Jaclyn was amazing and just what we were looking for in someone to watch our pups! We are new to the area and looking for a dog sitter has been tough, but Jaclyn was quick to respond, very experienced and super responsible with our dogs and house. We will definitely book again!

About: I have had 3 family dogs throughout my life, I personally take care of reptiles and amphibians, and I genuinely love to care for animals! I personally own a bearded dragon named Ember and in the past, I have briefly homed poorly cared for lizards and found them new homes. My family currently has a pit bull terrier mix, named Nyla. She is the absolute light of my life and she truly made me realize how happy caring for animals made me. I am a recent college graduate so I currently have full availability, I will make sure to update if my current schedule undergoes any changes! I want to respect anyone’s home and pets as if they were my own. Safety and attention to detail is always important when someone trusts you to work for them.

Natalie was so great watching our dog Otto! She kept him on his normal schedule, took him on his long walks, and gave him lots of love and attention while we were away. We felt at ease with lots of updates, pictures, and communication, and really appreciated the time and effort she put in to taking care of him! She also kept everything so clean. Would definitely book her again!

About: We are the epitome of an animal family and have had dogs and cats our whole lives! In addition to having our own fur baby's, we volunteer with a rescue at their events and foster and train puppies 1 week a month. Our children even want to be vets and have taken kids vet classes. The adults in the house work from home and provide plenty of walks and love all throughout the day. Our fur guests are always treated like family when they are here. Both adults in the house work from home and provide walks and outside play time at least every 2 hours (more if we have a puppy). We love to take our pups on daily walks throughout the whole development in additional to backyard play time. We have a very pet friendly development and will take your pups on walks and playtime in the backyard. We offer mimicking your home care so if you crate train, we will crate train. If your fur baby sleeps in your bed, your fur baby can sleep in our bed. We have dog beds and toys throughout the house and our own dogs for your pup to play with throughout the day. Your dogs will always be treated like our own while they are here and get plenty of love and attention.

I needed a sitter with short notice and David was able and willing to come meet my 3 dogs within hours of contacting him. He was kind and gentle with my boys and knew how to approach one of them who is fearful. He listened carefully to my instructions and asked when something wasn’t clear. I felt comfortable leaving my dogs with him when we met the same day he stayed overnight. He stayed longer when we were going to be home later which I appreciated. When we got back, he left a kind note and some chocolates for us. I would hire David again!

About: I grew up caring for 2 dogs and 2 cats, as well as pet sitting for friends and family! Even though some have passed away now, the fur babies always leave a print on my heart. While I am unable to house pets where I reside, my heart is ready to meet new friends on my traveling journeys! I work remotely as and English/ESL teacher, so my schedule remains flexible to meet all pet needs and responsibilities. I have yet to run into a schedule that I could not tailor to my current workload and personal needs. Due to my flexibility, I have no issues waking up early and being around for specific care requests that are needed through the day. All of my previous engagements have felt confident and felt pleased with the attention, safety and comfort I am able to provide with the consistent presence.

About: Your pets aren't "just pets" — they're family. And as someone who has shared my life with dogs for many years, I understand how important it is to find someone you can truly trust with their care. I began my animal-care journey studying Animal Sciences at Rutgers University's Cook College. Although my career eventually took me in a different direction, animals remained a constant part of my life. I've been pet sitting for friends and family for 27 years, and I also worked as a veterinary technician for 6 years. My veterinary experience gave me hands-on experience caring for dogs with a variety of needs, including senior and medically fragile pets. I'm comfortable administering: Oral medications Eye drops Subcutaneous fluids Senior-pet care and monitoring Feeding and medication routines Providing extra patience and attention to older or anxious dogs My beloved 15-year-old Shih Tzu recently passed away, and while losing him has been incredibly difficult, it has also reminded me how much I love caring for animals. I'm ready to open my heart — and my schedule — to caring for other people's beloved pets. Today, I'm a wife and mother who works from home, which gives me the flexibility to provide dependable pet care while being available when your pets need me. Whether your dog needs a midday visit, companionship while you're away, medication administration, or simply someone who will treat them like family, I bring years of experience, patience, compassion, and genuine love for animals to every visit. Your pet's comfort and well-being are my priority. I work remotely from home and have had a flexible work-from-home schedule for the past seven years, which allows me to be very accommodating with pet-care needs. I'm available for morning visits after 8:30 AM, once I get my daughter on the school bus, as well as midday walks and visits while you're at work. Because I work remotely, I'm also happy to spend the day at your home with your pets when needed, as long as I have access to Wi-Fi so I can work while keeping your pets company. My only regular scheduling limitation is 3:00–5:00 PM on weekdays, when I'm busy with school pickup and getting my children to their afternoon activities. Weekends are generally open and flexible, and I'm happy to work with you to find a schedule that fits your pet's routine and your travel plans. My flexible schedule allows me to provide more than just a quick check-in—I can give your pets plenty of companionship, attention, and care throughout the day. I believe the best pet care starts with making your pets feel safe, comfortable, and loved. I’m playful and attentive, but I’m also responsible and observant—I pay attention to your pet’s individual personality, routine, and needs. I’m happy to care for puppies, adult dogs, and senior dogs, including larger dogs up to 100 pounds. I also welcome cats! Whether your pet is energetic and ready to play or prefers a quiet afternoon curled up beside me, I’m happy to meet them where they are. Your home is your pet’s safe place, and I treat it with the same respect I would want for my own home. I follow your instructions carefully, maintain your pet’s normal routine as much as possible, and make sure doors, gates, leashes, and other safety measures are secure. Most importantly, I want your pets to look forward to seeing me! I’ll give them plenty of attention, playtime, affection, walks, and companionship, while respecting their boundaries and individual personalities.

James did a great job watching our dog while we were overseas for two weeks. He took care of everything and went above and beyond, even cooking chicken for our dog who went on a hunger strike while we were gone. We were able to vacation without any worries, knowing that our pup was in good hands!

Margaret was great caring for our babies Faith and Hope. When we came home from 8 days in Italy our pups were happy to see us but not anxious. This was a first for us. From the minute they met Margaret they took to her! Margaret cared for and respected our home which was an added plus! We will definitely call on her again and hopefully she will be available.😁

FAQs for House Sitting - Birmingham

Frequently asked questions about Rover

The average cost for House Sitting in Birmingham on Rover is $61.05 per night (as of September 2026). However, all sitters set their own rates based on experience, location, and availability.

Rover makes budgeting the cost of House Sitting 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 House Sitting. For more information on service fees, click here .

As of September 2026, there are 4,988 sitters on Rover offering House Sitting across Birmingham. Enter your ZIP code to see which available sitters are closest to your home.

Beyond belly rubs and feeding schedules, a house sitter’s presence may provide an additional layer of security for your home. However, you will need to arrange overnight stays and other household tasks with your sitter when reaching out to them. Not all sitters offer the same services. Common household tasks you can negotiate include:

  • Mail & deliveries: Collecting letters and packages so they don't pile up.
  • Plant care: Keeping your indoor or outdoor garden hydrated.
  • Trash & recycling: Taking trash cans to the curb on scheduled pickup days.
  • Home security: Sitters can stay overnight to keep your home occupied.

The best way to align on expectations is during your free Meet & Greet. Use this time to provide a "home cheat sheet" that includes your preferred Birmingham walking routes, the location of your favorite pet store, and any specific quirks about your home’s security or appliances.

It’s helpful to think of house sitting as a "home base" service. Most sitters in Birmingham maintain their normal daily routines, like running errands or heading to the office, meaning your pet should be comfortable being alone for a few hours at a time. If your pet needs a little extra company, here is how to find the perfect match:

  • Look for "WFH" sitters: Many sitters mention "Work from Home" on their profile to indicate they’ll be present for the majority of the day.
  • Update your pet’s profile: Write down how long your pet can comfortably be left alone. This helps sitters quickly determine if their schedule aligns with your needs.
  • Communicate 24/7 needs: Standard house sitting usually doesn't include constant supervision. If your pet requires round-the-clock care, be sure to discuss this upfront.

Tip: Use the Meet & Greet to confirm a sitter's typical "away" windows. Transparency ensures your pet stays happy and your sitter can plan their day effectively!

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!

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 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 .

If a health concern arises during a stay, your sitter is instructed to contact you and our Trust & Safety team immediately and, if needed, take your pet to the closest veterinarian. Through our Trust & Safety support team, sitters can ask for diagnostic advice from a qualified veterinary professional if your pet is showing signs of possible illness.

For extra peace of mind, you can also prepare an authorization form for your regular vet. An authorization form outlines your preferred method of care and allows your sitter to bring your pet into their regular clinic.

Every qualified booking made on Rover is backed by the Rover Guarantee, which includes reimbursement for eligible emergency vet care.

A Meet & Greet is a short introductory meeting between you, your pet, 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.

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.

Yes, you can find sitters who have experience with handling special pet needs in Birmingham. On Rover:

  • 89% of sitters can help with special care needs
  • 95% 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.
