About: I have been caring for pets since middle school and gained hands-on experience working as a stable hand while growing up. Since moving to the Birmingham area for college, I have provided reliable house-sitting and pet care services, looking after dogs and cats for extended periods. Now that I am back in my hometown on the Eastern Shore, I am continuing to care for my family's pets and would be ecstatic to care for your pets as well! With a warm and calm presence, I ensure that pets feel comfortable and well-cared for while their owners are away. Dependable and detail-oriented, I take pride in providing attentive, trustworthy care tailored to each pet’s needs. I'm currently working a remote part-time job, so any type of care, whether it's drop-in visits, walks, or overnight care for extensive time periods, works great for my schedule. This flexibility allows me to make caring for your pets my top priority! In my client’s home I always aim to make not only the pets but the owners feel comfortable and safe while I am taking care of their furry friends! When learning about the pet I am caring for, I strive to learn their normal behaviors, daily routines, and activities that make them feel loved so that I can make them as comfortable as possible while their owners are away. I also make sure to take good care of their homes during my stay. I am diligent about fostering a low-stress environment, keeping things clean and tidy, as well as safely locked up!
About: I grew up on a farm and have always had animals and especially dogs and cats. I am a retired nurse and have gone from caring for people to caring for pets. I will love and care for your babies while you are away. I am a retired nurse who has a lot of free time. I have friends who are pet/house sitters. I love animals and I have kept and cared for family and friends pets while owners were away. Never worry about your pets again when you need to be away. I have a golden retriever that has a super sweet disposition and he had been around other pets and plays well with others. I will only care for 1 pet at a time unless pets come from same family.
“Leslie was absolutely wonderful. My standards for pet care are extremely high, and she exceeded them in every way. She was attentive, reliable, communicative, and clearly has a natural understanding of animals. My dogs were calm, happy and very well cared for. It is rare to find someone who combines professionalism, intuition, warmth and true animal understanding so naturally. I would trust Leslie again without hesitation and highly recommend her to anyone looking for exceptional care.”
“Emily was amazing with my 2 elder chihuahuas. I was so worried they would not do well because they are very picky with people in general. She spent time with them and made sure they ate. I was on a cruise for a week and she kept me updated everyday with pictures. I know they were comfortable with her because they actually let her love on them & she sent me videos of them playing. I would 100% book Emily again!”
“Tierney did a great job. She was timely with her visits. Our dog Ted was exercised fed and cared for as we hoped he would be. Pictures and reports were appreciated. We will use her in the future and recommend her to our friends and family.”
“Thank you for taking care of Penny during our time away! We appreciate you and all the pics you included in her report card! Although we missed her, it was wonderful knowing she was in good hands. And thanks for bringing in the package for safekeeping while we were away.”
“Becca always does an amazing job taking care of our senior dog. She sends updates after every visit and is extremely reliable and flexible when needed. It’s always hard to leave our Pongo, but having Becca makes us feel more at ease knowing that she’ll always take great care of him.”
About: I’ve been around dogs since the day I was born, and love taking care of them. I have watched and walked dogs for friends and family off and on since I was 15. I’ve watched sweet senior dogs to energetic puppies. I have potty trained and leased trained my dogs and provided medications for dogs. I am Pre-vet major. I have school 4 days a week Monday to Thursday. I work around my class schedules which gives me a good amount of free time to check on the dogs I am taking care of. Having been around dogs all my life, I enjoy their company. I think dogs are our best friends and should be treated as such. I realize some dogs need lots of energy released and others not so much!
About: I have always had pets, ever since I was little. I know what they need. My sister is also a vet tech so there is no need to worry if something goes wrong. I am currently working a 9-5 job as a hair stylist in daphne. I work every Tuesday through Saturday. I have church on Sunday. I am off all day Monday. My dog is very spoiled. She loves to go for car rides and walks. Her favorite thing is her chuck it ball thrower. She will never pass down a treat.
About: I’ve taken care of dogs and cats ranging from kittens to 16 year old. I love seeing all the different type of personalities they have. I’m currently working part time- I do school one day a week the rest is online but other than that I am an open book. Taking them on walks daily, make sure they have enough outside time, but also get play time inside in the air conditioning. Fun, play and enjoy
About: I’ve loved caring for animals for as long as I can remember and have been helping with pets since middle school. Growing up, I also gained hands-on experience working as a stable hand, which taught me the importance of responsibility, patience, and paying close attention to each animal’s needs. While living in the Birmingham area for college, I provided dependable pet care and house-sitting for families, including caring for both dogs and cats during longer stays. Now that I’m back home on the Eastern Shore, I’m excited to continue offering pet care locally and would love the opportunity to care for your pets, too! I have a calm, gentle presence and do my best to help pets feel safe, comfortable, and loved while their owners are away. I’m dependable, detail-oriented, and thoughtful about following each pet’s normal routine, preferences, and care instructions. I currently work a remote part-time job, which gives me a very flexible schedule. I’m available for drop-in visits, walks, and overnight stays, including extended house-sitting. Because of this flexibility, I’m able to give your pets consistent attention and make their care a priority. When caring for pets in a client’s home, I want both the pets and their owners to feel completely comfortable. I take time to learn each pet’s personality, routine, favorite activities, and any special needs so I can keep things as familiar and low-stress as possible. I also treat each home with respect by keeping things clean and tidy, following instructions carefully, and making sure everything is safely locked up before I leave.

About: I am a cat person through and through. I have 4 cats of my own - 2 British shorthairs and 2 rescues. I make sure to give them as much stimulation and play as possible and I’ll treat your cats as if they were my own. I know how hard it can be to find sitters who prioritize cats, and too often kitty care is an afterthought. But not for me! I’ll give your babies the attention and playtime they deserve. Though I am most passionate about cats, I will make sure all the animals in your home are fully taken care of and happy while you’re away. I have experience administering medication, caring for kittens and senior cats, as well as dogs, fish, reptiles, and birds. I work as a freelance media buyer and have full control of my remote schedule. My husband and I used to travel a lot for work, and I really struggled to find quality care for my own 4 cats when we went away. As someone who has dealt firsthand with some not-so-great cat sitters, I really know what it takes to give pet owners peace of mind while away from home. My schedule is completely moldable to your needs. If caring for pets in your home is not an option, I have a spare bedroom with a window and a cat tree, window perch and toys that I have reserved for fostering cats. While I prefer to care for animals in your own home, I will happily take them in if it would be beneficial for your situation.
“Allie is super caring and our fur babies love her. She took great care of them. She kept on schedule with the drop ins and communicated every day. Give her a call you won't be disappointed. Thank you Allie!”
About: I’ve grown up around animals my whole life. I have been with inside dogs to outside. No size scares me and have dealt with dogs that have required full 24/7 care with timed medications. I’m currently a college student looking for morning work aside from my afternoon job. If you need a home sister or someone to check in on the weekends I am your person as-well! In your home, I follow the same standards I would for my own. Your dog is my top priority whether we’re snuggling, playing fetch or tug-of-war, or enjoying a walk. I provide care with patience, attention, and genuine love, just as every dog deserves. You tell me what your dog needs and I will be there.

“Georgia was very sweet with our dogs, she really gave them the Individual attention that they needed. She even went out of her way to be attentive to our cat that was not included to her rover contract. We were so pleased with the love and care she gave to them that we look forward to her care in the future!!!!”
About: I worked with dogs for nearly 15 years professionally as a Certified Dog Trainer, and have since continued a small business in the pet industry since 2012. I have a lifetime of experience with most animals; but specialize and have a fondness for dogs & horses of all sizes! All my customers will receive pictures of their pets (upon request) from me while they are on vacation! I currently work at home and am able to fit a limited number of local visits early - midday - and in the evenings. Weekend availability as well. I have loved animals all my life. After over a decade of training pups, I created my own All Natural Dog Treat Company, Derbys Delights All Natural Dog Treats. Named after my own heart-dog, Derby.

Dog parents share their Rover experiences - Fairhope
Jessica was great! We booked her last minute being new to town and having no other pet sitting options. Our plans even changed while out of town and she was flexible and able to book extra visits! Would highly recommend and we will be using her again. She took great care of our pups and sent us photos of each visit.
Katie did a wonderful job with drop-in visits for our dog and two cats. She was reliable, caring, and kept us updated with photos and messages, which gave us peace of mind while we were away. Our pets were happy and well cared for, and we came home knowing they had been in great hands. We would definitely book Katie again and highly recommend her!

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 Fairhope 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.
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 Fairhope 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!
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.
A Meet & Greet is a short introductory meeting between you, your dog, 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.
While Rover doesn’t offer traditional subscription services, some sitters offer recurring bookings for services like home visits and dog walking. Recurring services come with their own perks, such as flexibility to modify services (up to five weeks in advance), automatic billing, Rover Card updates, and same-day cancellations.
To find sitters in Fairhope with recurring or weekly availability, select "Repeat Weekly" and which days you’d like them to care for your pet.

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.
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.
