“Sarah was absolutely fantastic. My dog is extremely shy and she took the time to get to know Weller and make him as comfortable as possible. Sarah was also incredibly attentive and noticed Weller’s ear irritation which I’m so thankful for. This has been my first experience with Rover and Sarah is definitely my go to now!”


“We needed a last minute check in on our pup this Saturday, and Jessica was quick to respond and accept. She has stayed multiple overnight visits in our home to care for our dog. We appreciate her genuine care and affection she always shows our pup. Thank you, Jessica. We appreciate YOU!!!”

“Krisie is always responsive when I request a drop-in even when it is last minute. She always takes good care of my cat even though he is a bit shy until he gets to know you, Krisie always makes an attempt to coax him out to say hello.”

About: What sets me apart is my extensive hands-on experience caring for animals in both veterinary and everyday settings. I graduated from Auburn University with a degree in Animal Science Pre-Vet and have worked as a veterinary assistant and kennel technician, caring for up to 40 dogs and cats at a time. I’m comfortable with animals of all sizes and personalities and have experience administering medications, monitoring health and behavior, and recognizing when something may not be quite right. My love for animals goes far beyond work. I’ve volunteered walking and fostering dogs through the humane society and have run my own pet-care business caring for dogs, cats, and horses. I also have extensive veterinary experience with horses, including working at Hagyard Equine Medical Institute and Alabama Performance Horse Services. Animals have always been a huge part of my life, and I’ll treat your pets with the same attention, patience, and care I would want for my own. My schedule is flexible, which allows me to make time for walks, drop-in visits, feeding, playtime, and plenty of attention throughout the day. I’m also happy to work with each pet’s normal routine and schedule so they feel as comfortable as possible while you’re away. I know how important it is to trust the person caring for your pets because I feel the same way about my own! I have a cat, Edo, and a dog, Henderson, who are both very loved and have taught me that every animal has their own personality, routine, and needs. I always want pets in my care to feel as safe and comfortable as I would want Edo and Henderson to feel with someone else. When caring for pets in a client’s home, I’m respectful of both their space and their normal routine. I follow all feeding, walking, medication, and care instructions closely and make sure pets receive plenty of attention while also respecting their boundaries. With my veterinary and animal-care experience, safety is always a priority, and I pay close attention to changes in behavior, appetite, or overall well-being.
“Trevor was wonderful and such a life saver!! We needed someone to watch our fur babies last minute and he was available. He was was timely and communicative. Super nice. Will definitely book with Trevor again!”

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: As a longtime dog owner myself, I know how important it is to have someone you genuinely trust caring for your pet. I’ve spent the past 8 years caring for my own dog through different stages of life and am very comfortable with daily walks, feeding routines, medications, special diets, senior dogs, and pets who may need a little extra patience or attention. I’m also a certified Physician Assistant, so being dependable, attentive to detail, and calm in unexpected situations comes naturally to me. I’m happy to follow detailed care instructions and will treat your pet’s routine as carefully as I would my own. I also know how reassuring updates can be when you’re away, so you can expect plenty of communication and photos! I currently have a very flexible schedule while transitioning into my first position as a Physician Assistant, which gives me plenty of availability for weekday and weekend walks and drop-in visits. I’m happy to help with both occasional care and a consistent schedule for families who need recurring visits. I know how important it is to trust the person caring for your pet and entering your home. I’ll follow your pet’s normal routine and care instructions closely, including feeding, walks, medications, and any special needs. I’m attentive to changes in behavior or wellbeing and will keep you updated with photos and messages during each visit. I’m also respectful of your home and will always make sure doors, gates, leashes, and other safety measures are secure before I leave.
“Amy was able to help us last minute to oversee 3 cats who don't deal much with new people. Lina is always the last to come out but with Amy met her everyday for attention. She was great to work with and very good with communication”

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!
“Jody treated my two kitties like they were her own! She gave such detailed updates each day and so many cute photos - it made it so much easier to be away knowing my cats were in such good hands! I would absolutely recommend Jody to anyone & hope I can use her again in the future!”


“Jordan did a great job with my girls! She followed all instructions and even got my puppy to use the bathroom so I don’t have to worry about her in her kennel! She also brought in an Amazon package and put it on the stairs for me. I will definitely book with her again.”


About: Hi everyone! I have optimal experience with all types of animals. I have grown up with them my whole life, and have three babies of my own. Two cats and one border collie. Growing up, I had dogs, cats, hamsters, turtles, geckos, you name it! I rescued my one cat, and raised him back to health. My border collie, Leia, came from GBHS as an abuse case with some intense behavioral issues. Both are thriving and extremely healthy! That being said, I have tons of experience with behavioral issues or bottle feeding/some special needs cases. I also have experience in administering medication. Please reach out if you have any questions! I answer pretty promptly. My availability is pretty open as of now, but will change late August due to my nursing path at UAB. This is my full time job as of now, So I can pretty much fit around anything until late August! I do have fur babies of my own, so I just have to be able to come home to them as well. For care in your own home, I understand that I am entering your fur babies space! I will come in with a cautious, loving, and caring approach to provide them with whatever they need- whether that’s physical contact, play time (intense or light), or even just care from a distance :) Right now I am not offering care in my home, due to having three babies of my own.

About: I’ve been around dogs my entire life and would do some pet sitting during college. Growing up dogs have been part of the family and I will treat your pets with the same respect, care, and love. Im a behavioral therapist for kids during the week, but my weekends are open for your fur babies! I’m also available for pet drop ins after 5pm during the week! I will be sure to take any necessary precautions as needed for your pets’ health and safety. I can assure you they’ll be well taken care of with me!
“Morgan was great and I will most definitely be booking her again the next time I am in need! She sent detailed updates and lots of photos showing my dog always looking so happy and cared for.”

About: Experience with our lovable family dog, Charlie, has familiarized me with all types of canine behaviors and taught me how to respond with grace and love each time. He is a sweet mid-sized mutt that has been a joy and blessing for our family. I also have had cats for most of my life and currently, my family has two cats. I've always loved cats for their ability to simply chill and from a practical perspective they tend to be easier than dogs to take care of. With that in mind, I just adopted two kittens (a brother and sister) that I have taken with me to college. They are currently my pride and joy. I’m in school as a dance major which takes up all my time in the morning, but my afternoons tend to be free which leaves me plenty of time to care for your furry friends! Due to the volume of animals that live in my family home, I am only able to provide overnight care for your pets from the comfort of their home. This means your animals won't have to used to a new, strange environment! They get to show me their favorite toys and tricks right in their own backyard. As your pet sitter, I prioritize creating a safe, nurturing, and stress-free environment, ensuring your pets feel secure and content while you are away. With a genuine passion for animals and years of experience, I am well-equipped to handle a variety of needs and personalities. From feeding and exercise routines to administering medication and providing ample playtime, I am committed to tailoring my care to meet the unique requirements of each furry friend. Additionally, you can rest assured knowing that I will maintain open lines of communication, providing regular updates and even sending adorable pictures to keep you connected with your pets throughout our time together. Your pets' well-being and happiness are my top priorities, and I look forward to building a trusting relationship with both you and your furry family members.
About: Working at animal hospitals and pet stores has taught me to care and handle not only my own animals but the animals of others as well. I am caring and loving with your dog as if it is my own but firm need be. I am not squeamish when it comes to cleaning up after your dog. While with your dog they will get 100% of my attention because the safety of your dog is my #1 priority. I am very careful with special needs dogs and always keep in mind their specific needs. I am very knowledgeable with most breeds and their dos and don'ts. Your dog will enjoy their play time with me. They will be looking forward to my visits! Thank you I am available mostly all day and evenings. Will work around your dogs normal routine / schedule. Also available weekends unless out of town or booked. I do have 3 dogs and 5 cats, but your baby would be separated from all of them. We have our own kennels if you baby is used to sleep in them. Or we allow your babies to sleep in the bed with us. We have a big backyard with toys and and little pool during the summer.

Frequently asked questions about Rover
The average cost of Pet Sitting in Cahaba Heights is $22 per visit as of November 2026. Most bookings cost between $16 and $31 per visit. On Rover, sitters 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 946 sitters on Rover offering Pet Sitting across Cahaba Heights. Enter your ZIP code to see which available sitters are closest to your home.
You and your sitter can agree on a care schedule that fits your pet’s routine and the sitter’s availability. Pet Sitting can be booked as a one-time or recurring drop-in visit. If you need overnight care or dog walks, you may also be able to book House Sitting or Dog Walking through Rover with the same sitter, provided they offer those services.
Before booking, confirm:
- the timing, length, and frequency of visits;
- the care instructions the sitter should follow;
- which parts of your pet’s usual routine should be prioritized;
- how often you would like to receive messages, photos, or other updates.
Not every sitter offers the same services, availability, or booking options. Review their profile and discuss the care you need through Rover before booking each service.
If you would like updates while you’re away, you can discuss with your sitter how many or how frequent you’d like those updates to be. The Rover app allows sitters to send photos, videos, and messages about your pet, including how many pee or poop breaks occurred. You can message your sitter at any time through the app and our support team is available 24/7 by email or chat if you have concerns.
The personalized, in-home nature of pet care through Rover can mean more individual attention for your pet.
Many pet parents provide a spare key or arrange a lockbox. You can also exchange keys during the Meet & Greet and show your walker how to use digital fobs or personalized codes. It helps to arrange access to your home, from spare keys to concierge introductions, before pet care begins.
If you live in an apartment or condo, don’t forget to discuss details like buzzer access, codes, or elevator etiquette. These details can help a pet sitter feel more comfortable going in and out of your building.
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.
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.
Yes, you can find sitters who have experience with handling special pet needs in Cahaba Heights. On Rover:
- 90% of sitters can help with special care needs
- 94% 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 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.
