“Rusty has been walking my dog for the past year, and I couldn’t ask for a better dog-walker! He’s reliable, flexible, and got along great with my pup. We are moving away from the area, and I wish we could take him with us. Highly recommend, your dog will be in great hands!”

When caring for a pet in a client's home, I prioritize following any specific instructions or routines they have outlined for their beloved companion. This includes adhering to feeding schedules, exercise routines, and medication schedules. Additionally, I ensure that the pet has an ample supply of food and water, a clean living space, and access to any necessary toys or items.

“Emily helped me out in a pinch with a very last minute request. I appreciated the pictures she sent throughout the walk and her willingness to help out. Would def reach out to Emily again for future needs.”
About: With having a profession in animal care and living with dogs and cats my entire life, I have lots of experience taking care of pets. I, regularly, handle very friendly and very unfriendly/anti-social dogs and cats, which is very fun for me! I work full-time taking care of animals, but will be available after hours for at least a few hours most days and have most of Friday and Saturday available. I do not offer services in my own home, but I am able to offer every service in yours. I can walk, play with, and just interact with your animals in whatever way you need and if they do not socialize in those types of ways, that's alright too!

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.

A Meet & Greet is a casual meeting to vet potential sitters and communicate care needs for peace of mind before a booking begins.

This can be helpful if you have a new pet or routine you want to go over with your sitter.

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 .

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.
