“Devin was so patient with us while we were helicopter parents with our first Rover stay. She was thorough and sent great updates. She was wonderful with communication. We can’t wait to use her again! Thank you, Devin!”

“I love that I never have to worry about my buddy when Sarah is with him. This particular visit she went above and beyond to make sure he got his potty breaks during a stormy weekend.”

About: I'm back after a brief hiatus with starting a new job! I am fully remote now, so I can hang out with your babies all day! I would LOVE to be your baby’s home away from home! 😍 My first and only sibling was a cockapoo named Mischief that I treated like my brother from the time I was born (peep my pics to see him in my Barbie car), so you can rest assured that your family will be treated like my family! I have experience with outdoor pets that come and go as they please to spoiled indoor babies that need all of the attention. I have volunteered with the GBHS and have pet sat for so many friends and relatives that it’s hard to keep count! My mom’s dog is a senior with special needs and I have a special place in my heart for sweet babies like her. I have one cat who is very independent and would prefer to be left alone and another cat that is a queen who wants to be cuddled all of the time…so lots of experience with various personalities and temperaments. Whether your pet loves to play all day or nap 24/7, I promise to make sure they are comfortable! 😎 I currently work from home full time and have a very pet friendly home. If you prefer your baby to be in a crate, I have a small carrier as well as a medium sized crate they can use; I even have a playpen area. My pets are all socialized with both cats and dogs and there are plenty of dog and cat toys to keep your pet entertained! Since I work from home, your pet will not be unsupervised and will have eyes on them at all times. They will have access to food and water as much as they could ever want and I can provide potty breaks as often as they need. I have a large walking area and open space around my apartment complex for pups as well as a separate litter box for kitties if your king/queen prefers their own. All of my pets drink from a water fountain that filters but I have plenty of bowls to go around if that is more your pet’s style! We are very low maintenance around here and can adapt to your baby’s needs since they are our guest! I am happy to accommodate any requests you have when it comes to training, schedules, breaking habits, etc.
“Catherine is the best! She is so sweet and intentional, and my sweet Knox had the best time with her. She even offers crafts, homemade treats, and paw-decures!! 💅🏼 Will be booking again”

“She was very good with communicating to me how my dog was doing with daily activities and pictures. House was clean and tidy. Good care for my dog. Recommend using her!”

“Peter was exceptional. Right before we left one of the dogs was diagnosed with cancer and he went above and beyond to give us updates and deal with issues. Could not have asked for better service or responsiveness. Think the dogs wanted to leave with him”

“Sara is a Rockstar sitter. She follows care instructions and really takes great care of my fur baby. He's an old man and needs special attention so I truly appreciate her. I never have to worry when she's caring for him which is such a relief.”

“Mary was great to work with and gave perfect attention to my crew. She communicated clearly and showed up exactly when she said she would. I highly recommend her for your pet needs.”


“Jessica is a caring and reliable sitter for us when we are out of town. She stays in contact with me as often as I send her messages and she kindly sends photos throughout the day. We will continue to book her services and we are thankful we met her.”

“Absolutely amazing. My doggos were in the absolute best hands! She went up and beyond with my babies and updates so frequently! She is so kind and responds so quickly. They had the time of their lives with her and I will definitely continue to use her!!”

“Ashely did a wonderful job caring for all four of our animals. She communicated with us throughout the weekend and sent updated photos. Our house was also well taken care of. Would definitely recommend and use her services again.”

About: I have 4 years of experience with almost every breed of dog and cat imaginable so I can provide specialty care based on your individual pets needs! For over 4 years family members and clients have trusted me to handle potty breaks, playtime, feeding time, and medication for senior care of their pets! I work part time during the week so my schedule is very flexible for potty breaks and house sitting. I have one client that I let out for potty breaks weekly in the Mountain Brook area, others are scattered availability. I can care for your pets and home by making sure they have lots of attention and playtime throughout the day. In senior pet homes I have no problems cleaning any accidents quickly and efficiently while making sure your pet isn't embarrassed. Additionally in senior pet homes I can adhere to strict medication schedules on time and with lots of positive reinforcement.
“Ian dog-sat and house-sat for us for a pretty long vacation. Our dog had shown signs of anxiety the last few times we went out of town and came back. This time with Ian, he seemed perfectly ok and happy. Ian seemed to handle our dog's meds fine, and our house was just the way we left it. Definitely would use Ian again.”

“Honestly, I’m almost annoyed that I have to leave such a good review because now everyone is going to know how amazing she is, and I’d really prefer to keep her all to myself. She was absolutely wonderful with all of our animals. She was incredibly reliable, communicative, and easy to work with from start to finish. She sent us lots of photos and updates, and she always let us know right away if something unexpected happened or something broke. That kind of communication made it so much easier to relax while we were away. She also tidied the house up upon our return, which was very considerate after a long trip. She followed all of our instructions perfectly, was so easy to talk to and plan with, and clearly genuinely loves animals. And the biggest endorsement of all: our animals absolutely adored her. They were happy and comfortable when we got home, which is everything I could ask for in a sitter. I will 100% book her again.”


About: I have a special gift for noticing the emotions and personalities in pets that people often overlook. Whether your dog is playful, shy, independent, or simply needs a little extra love, I take the time to understand what makes them feel comfortable and happy. I’ve been around dogs since the age of 7. My specialty is dogs, but I happily welcome my feline friends too! :) When your pet is with me, they’re not just being watched. I want to make sure they feel comfortable, safe, and joyful during every visit—so much so that they remember me when I return! My goal is to make sure your pet has a great day, because they give us so much in return: security, joy, companionship, and unconditional love. I want them to feel that same care and connection while they’re with me. 🐾 I don’t have a full time or part time job, I don’t own any pets of my own, no kids. My only exceptions would be my personal daily task that come with general life. I do not board more than one dog at a time just to keep things safe. I also live in an apartment complex with two other roommates who are my best friends. With this set up, I can ensure both your fur baby and my roommates are comfortable.
About: I provide pet-sitting in your own home, and can also do dog walking. Pet-sitting can include bathing and light grooming. I am comfortable with all ages and breeds of dogs, and have experience with a full range of each. I am experienced with many types of behaviors within dogs, and can offer basic training as needed. I have a passion for animals! I have grown up with many different types animals; dogs, cats, rabbits, hamsters, fish, and lizards. I’ve also have had lots of experience with farm animals such as horses, goats, pigs, chickens, and ducks. I have been professionally pet-sitting since I was a teenager, and have been on Rover for the last 5+ years. I love all of the sweet pets I’ve been able to work with! My current availability is mornings and evenings M-F, and all day weekends. My schedule does get filled quickly, but if given enough notice I should have flexibility! I work full-time, but I still have times during the week that I devote to my pets and yours. I make sure that each animal tended gets adequate exercise, attention, and even training as needed. I currently don’t offer in-house boarding at this time, but I often do house visits and dog walking. I have lots of experience and devote a lot of time ensuring that each person I work with is comfortable and feels safe with me in their home and/or with their pets. I have a set system that also ensures the safety of information such as addresses, keys, etc. so that it will never become a concern. I also take LOTS of photos and videos each time I visit, so that each client I work with can guarantee I do everything correctly and am being as safe as I can with their fur-babies:)

Pet parents share their Rover experiences - Cahaba Heights
Saskia was absolutely phenomenal caring for our dog and two cats while we were away. She kept us updated throughout our trip with messages and pictures, which gave us so much peace of mind. It was clear from the start that she genuinely cared for our pets and treated them as if they were her own. When we returned home, our pets were happy, well cared for, and our house was left in pristine condition. We couldn’t have asked for a better experience. We highly recommend Saskia to anyone looking for a trustworthy, caring, and reliable pet sitter. We will definitely be using her again!

Regan was an absolute blessing. My dog loved being able to spend time with her, and was really excited that she brought her dog Finn as well so he could have a buddy. She kept me up to date during their stay together, provided me plenty of pictures and made sure my dog was well taken care of while I was out of town. He especially loved the walks she would take him on with Finn and the extra attention he got from both of them.
Honestly if I could give Mariana 10 ⭐️ I would. She is absolutely amazing!! She loves our girl Jo and spoils her with all the love and kindness she has. She keeps us updated on her day and sends pics. It’s also so wonderful that she stays at our home over night/days so our girl can stay in her own place. I highly recommend her to stay with your furbabies she’s the best!!

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 Cahaba Heights 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 Cahaba Heights 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.
<b>Tip:</b> 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 Cahaba Heights 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 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.
