“Tatiana is amazing! Zeus is in love. He recognizes her car and runs to the door to greet her, excited for his walk. She tires him out enough for him to settle down so I can work without having a bored puppy underfoot. Will request her again.”
“Charmaine was amazing! She eased all the nerves I had about leaving my pup for a long workday. She was available short notice and was able to come meet him before which helped so much. She took such care to take notes and asked all the questions and answers all mine. She updated me during her visit and she was very respectful and easy to work with!”
“Monica and Mitchell has walked our dog several times now. We liked them so much that we decided to book them for repeat walks every week. They are great with communication, quick with responses, and our dood loves them! I would definitely recommend booking with them!”
About: I’ve always been the friend people call when they need someone to care for their pets! I’ve raised a dog from puppyhood and adopted and cared for a senior dog, so I’m comfortable with every stage of life. Over the years, I’ve been a repeat dog and cat sitter and walker for countless friends and family—including house sitting for over a month. I am also a Doctor (resident physician) at Baptist Health, so responsibility, attention to detail, and caring for others are a big part of my everyday life. I specifically offer Rover during lighter months when I’m home most of the day; when I do go into work, I’m typically only away for 2–3 hours at a time. I’m comfortable with medications and detailed care instructions, attentive to when something seems off, and calm in unexpected situations. One of my closest friends is also a veterinarian, giving me a trusted resource when needed. Most importantly, I genuinely love animals and treat other people’s pets the way I’d want someone to treat my own. If you furry friend stays with me, they will also meet Zeus, my 10-year-old neutered pug and professional co-pet-sitter. He’s incredibly laid-back, patient, and unfazed by just about everything—I have never even heard him bark! He loves dogs and cats, has helped me host many pets over the years, and mostly just does his own thing while providing some quiet companionship. Whether you have an energetic puppy, a laid-back dog, or a cat who runs the household, I’m at your bark and call! 🐾 As I mentioned, I’m a doctor at Baptist Health. I specifically offer Rover during lighter months when I am at home most of the day. When I do go into work during these months, I’m typically only away for 2–3 hours at a time. I want your pet to feel as comfortable and secure as possible, so I’m happy to follow whatever routine they’re used to—feeding schedules, walks, medications, crate time, sleeping habits, and all their little quirks! I’m attentive and responsible, and I never take the trust of caring for someone’s pet or home lightly. If you’re hiring me to host your doggo, I live in a condo right by Railroad Park and just a block from Rotary Trail, so there are plenty of opportunities for walks and outdoor time throughout the day. My mom also lives only five minutes away and has a large, beautiful fenced-in yard that we can visit for some extra space to play and explore. At home, my calm senior pug Zeus is around for company but is very content to do his own thing. When caring for pets in their own home, I’m respectful of their space and prioritize keeping their normal routine. I will also send plenty of photos and updates so you always know how they’re doing!
About: I’m an educator, dad, and lifelong pet owner with more than 20 years of experience caring for animals. Pets have always been part of my family, so I understand that trusting someone with yours is a big deal. I’m patient, attentive, dependable, and comfortable following established routines for feeding, walks, playtime, medications, and all the little things that help a pet feel safe and comfortable. As an early childhood professor, caregiving, observation, communication, and responsibility are quite literally part of what I do every day. I’ll care for your pet with the same attention and affection I expect for my own. As a university professor, my schedule offers more flexibility than a traditional 9-to-5, particularly on certain weekdays, evenings, and weekends. I’m also a dad, so planning, routines, and being dependable are already a big part of my life! I’m happy to coordinate care around your pet’s normal schedule whenever possible and will always be upfront about my availability before accepting a booking. I know pets are family, and I treat both your pet and your home with that level of care and respect. I follow your instructions closely, maintain established feeding, walking, medication, and bedtime routines, and pay attention to changes in behavior or appetite. I’m patient about letting pets warm up to me at their own pace and prioritize safety at all times. You can also expect dependable communication and updates while you’re away. I know how reassuring it is to know that someone you love is happy, safe, and well cared for.
About: I have diverse experience in animal care from my own pets, to neighbors and family members’ furry friends, and even professionally with wildlife. I am excited and honored to care for your family, both human and animal. I work sporting events freelance and am looking to add a little work on the side. I am free almost every weekday and most weekends. I do have an apartment most suitable for smaller dogs, however I have access to ample green space and neighborhoods to walk and play in. In your home, I will respect your space while keeping your furry friend in an environment they know.
“Christina is the best petsitter. My experience with her for the past 4 months have been amazing. I was never worried about my dog and she took care of Kai so well. 1000% recommended”
About: I have always loved animals- any and all types. I have owned dogs and cats as pets my entire life. I’m an honest and loyal person. I will provide the greatest care for your furbabies and make sure they are loved as my own. I volunteered with local humane societies and I also worked as an animal cruelty investigator for years. Animals live shorter lives than us humans so we have to make sure everyday is great. I have fostered numerous dogs and puppies that I found in abusive situations so providing a little extra care is no biggie to me. I would be happy to drop in and check on your animals, take them for walks or board them at my house. Your animal would be in great hands with me. Thanks for reading my profile. Hope to hear from you soon. My schedule is super flexible so just let me know what your needs are and I can help. Can’t wait to meet your fur baby. I have a fenced yard and one sweet pup that stays inside that can keep your animal company. I can’t wait for them to meet!
“Leah was amazing! She was quick to respond and able to fit us into her busy schedule last minute. Our puppy, Willow, loved Leah from the start. Leah made sure to care for Willow as her own and give us many updates and pictures. I could not recommend Leah enough!”
About: While volunteering at CARE Humane Society during my time at Auburn, I fostered many dogs and was honored to receive Volunteer of the Month twice. I especially loved running the larger, high-energy dogs and giving them an outlet for their energy, along with plenty of affection and individual attention. I also took initiative to advocate for dogs who needed extra attention when shelter was understaffed. With my foster dogs, I enjoyed park visits, playing frisbee or tug-of-war, taking them around town, and making them feel loved at home. I have a Jack Russell back home whom I absolutely adore, so I know how much personality and energy can come in a little package! Whether your dog loves a run, a leisurely walk with plenty of sniffing, or playtime and cuddles, I’m happy to follow their pace. I’ll respect your feeding instructions, routines, and preferences while giving your dog the care and attention I’d want for my own. I start my full-time job in January, so until then, I have a flexible schedule and want to spend my time doing something I’m passionate about—caring for dogs! Staying active is already part of my routine, and spending that time with dogs makes it even better. I’m happy to work around your dog’s usual schedule and adjust to their energy level, whether they enjoy a run, a longer outing, or a relaxed walk with plenty of sniffing. Before our first walk, I’ll ask about your dog’s routine, energy level, leash behavior, and any triggers or health needs. I’ll make sure their leash and harness are secure and choose a pace and route that suit them, whether that means a run or a relaxed walk with plenty of sniffing. I’ll pay attention to the weather, provide water as needed, and avoid unfamiliar dogs unless we’ve discussed introductions beforehand. Afterward, I’ll make sure your dog is safely settled, secure your home, and send you photos and an update!
About: I love animals and I am looking forward to meeting lots of new animal friends this year. I’ve had a dog most of my life. I currently have a calm senior chihuahua. My heart is with senior dogs, but I love all types of dogs and to play with them. I watch my uncle’s dog ,a young poodle, often when he’s out of town and host numerous friends pups when they’re on short vacations or stop in to feed and check up on them. I love running and being outdoors and spend a good amount of my day being active outside. I’m looking forward to learning to care for different types of pets. I have my own chihuahua so I care for her every day. She’s also a senior dog with medication now so I’m really having to be intentional with her schedule. My dog is pretty free range. I let her out in the yard and walk her with a leash if we leave home. I can pretty much adjust with any things needed for your dog.
About: I have experience caring for dogs of all ages, from puppies to adults. I’ve had dogs of my own and regularly cared for my brother’s dogs while he was a breeder, giving me hands-on experience with puppies and adult dogs. Most of my experience is with French Bulldogs, Cane Corsos, and Boston Terriers. I’m patient, attentive, and treat every pet like my own. I am currently a full-time freshman at UAB, but my weekly schedule has consistent gaps that allow me to provide dependable and attentive care for your pets. I am experienced with maintaining pet routines and can easily accommodate drop-in visits, walks, and feedings during my regular availability: Mondays and Wednesdays from 1:30 PM to 2:30 PM and after 4:30 PM; Tuesdays and Thursdays from 10:00 AM to 12:00 PM and after 3:15 PM; Fridays from 12:15 PM to 2:15 PM and after 3:20 PM; and open availability all day on Saturdays and Sundays. I believe every pet is different, so I don’t treat every pet the same. I take the time to learn their personality, routines, and comfort level so they feel safe and cared for. I’m gentle, attentive, and respectful of each pet’s needs while making sure their environment stays clean and secure.
About: With 10 years of experience dog sitting, I provide loving care for pets of all ages, including puppies and seniors, ensuring comfort, safety, and happiness. Pet care is an integral part of my daily and weekly routine. I prioritize time for walks, play, feeding, and providing companionship to ensure every pet feels loved and cared for. My flexible schedule allows me to accommodate each pet's unique needs. I care for pets as if they were my own. At home, I provide a welcoming environment alongside my two mini Australian shepherds. When sitting at a client's home, I ensure the pets are comfortable and maintain their routine. I also frequently dog sit for my neighbors, giving me experience in adapting to various pets' needs and environments.
About: I have always had cats in my life and had a Golden Retriever in my childhood home for 13 years. I currently have a tuxedo cat named Marley. I'm currently working part-time so I am available mornings, evenings, and weekends to check on your pets! My work hours vary so I am available some week days as well. I prioritize building trust with your pet through sniff tests, gentle pets, and providing food and play enrichment. You can rest assured your pet will be cared for attentively.
About: I had 3 cocker spaniels as a kid, separately, loved them, they loved me. Did everything together. Would love more time with dogs. Cats, too I work 5 evenings a week from 5pm-10, (shorter that overnight sleep), off Monday and Thursday. It has worked out great for both sides. Just a mile from home. There’s community property where pets do their business, we’re required to pick up poop. All dogs are leashed to avoid issues. Leashing required in Hoover.

Ashley was very attentive to my requests and directions. She followed through and sent pictures throughout the walk/visit. She accommodated a meet and greet prior to the walk so we could all be comfortable with the arrangements. If I find myself needing this service again I will absolutely contact her first!
Tatiana was fabulous and such a lifesaver!! Tatiana agreed to walk my grandpuppy Meatball at the last minute on Easter weekend! Meatball was well loved & cared for!

The average cost of Dog Walking in Cahaba Heights is $21 per walk as of November 2026. Most bookings cost between $17 and $36 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.

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 Cahaba Heights. 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 Cahaba Heights 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 Cahaba Heights. On Rover:
- 90% of walkers can help with special care needs
- 95% can help with giving oral medications or injections
- 97% 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.
