“me and my pup love amanda! this was my second time having her do check ins while i was out of town and she is amazing! she communicates great and goes the extra mile, which puts me at ease while i’m away from my baby! would definitely recommend and will be using her in the future!”
“I knew from the moment I met Sarah that she was a cat lover. I’ve got five kitties and was away for thanksgiving week. She came by twice a day to take care of my babies, properly fed, watered, poopy scooped and played with them, sending several pics of each visit. My kitties felt comfortable with her and she engaged all of them, even my scaredy cat. We all like her very much! I was able to enjoy my trip with no worries about my kitties. I will definitely have her over again and I highly recommend this wonderful young lady!”
About: My family has spent a lifetime caring for and loving pets of all kinds, from energetic new puppies and kittens to cherished senior companions. Big or small, feathered, furry or fluffy, they are always treated as family. Our own dogs are trained using German commands, and even our cat is leash-trained, reflecting the time, patience, and care we invest in animal companionship. I understand how important your pets’ health, safety, and happiness are, and I recognize that busy schedules can make it challenging to give them the attention they need. It would be my privilege to provide dependable, compassionate care for your beloved pets and to treat them with the same love and respect I give my own. I am a homeschool mom of two independent children and many fur babies including two dogs, three cats, and a few extras. I am also a youth pastor so my schedule is flexible and late nights not a problem. I have a safe fenced yard and lots of furry companions; however, I will not be sitting animals in my home as I prefer this space to stay limited to my own.
“Ashlyn provided drop in visits for our 2 dogs while we were away. She was wonderful & took such great care of them. They warmed up to her very quickly & were in great spirits when we got home. Would highly recommend!”
“Savannah was wonderful!! She took our GSP for a walk and wasn’t scared to. His food and water was constantly full. She was always on time and very efficient! We are so very pleased.”
“Felicity was wonderful! She followed all of our instructions and schedule. She was prompt at every visits, keep all the pups on routine, and sent lots of photos. She communicated after every drop in and our pups were very well taken care of. Looking for a great sitter? She’s a perfect choice.”
About: After farm sitting for a week with five dogs, one kitten and one goat, I think I can handle just about any situation or personality! I work in Montevallo during the day Monday through Friday 8:00 am until 4:00 pm but I can assist early mornings, evenings and overnight as well. I am glad to walk your pups in your neighborhood, or ride over to your neighborhood dog park. I'm glad to play catch or cuddle and follow your pup's established routine. I am flexible and conscientious.
“This was our first time leaving our puppy overnight. We could not ask for a better person! Kayla was wonderful and helped us calm our anxious feelings about leaving him. The pictures gave me a sense of peace that he was in great hands. Will definitely be using Kayla soon!”
“Meena took very good care of my kitty boys when we were gone for vacation. We were so happy to find her after we moved to Birmingham. Like I said before, she is the best cat sitter we ever had. I can tell that she is a true animal lover, not just do it for job.”

Since I do everything for myself, my partner, or our animals I have a very flexible schedule. I am clean and tidy and more than happy to adhere to any rules that pet parents might have. If walks or potty breaks are needed I’m more than happy to get out stretch my legs and can even offer playtime for dogs or cats who think they’re dogs.
“Davonna did a great job with Sly. He's a very shy cat. She was very good with that and was able to keep him as comfortable about us being gone as she could. Love that she was punctual, communicated well with us, and was reliable. Thanks Davonna... we will definitely be back in touch when we need a sitter again.”

A pet sitter can provide focused care sessions, help your pet’s routine stay on track, or keep you updated on your pet’s mood and energy levels.
Whether you’re at the office for the day or traveling for a few nights, a pet sitter can offer potty breaks during a Calera stroll, cleaning the litter box, or making sure your pet has on-time food or water refills. For daytime services like walking and drop-ins, you can also request sitters to send a report card with every visit.
Tip: You can discuss your specific arrangements with a pet sitter on Rover to what fits you, your pet, and your sitter’s needs. To find what their special skills are, look at the "Skills" and "Pet care experience" sections on their profile.
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.

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 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.
