“Caitlyn is amazing at what she does. She is beyond caring for your pets and goes the extra mile. She is very friendly, reliable, prompt, accommodating and makes booking a breeze, EVEN at the last minute and during busy holiday times! There are so many things I could say that highlight how wonderful Caitlyn is. Our 3 cats received the care and attention they needed, and our house was even kept tidy, (especially since our youngest cat was into tearing up our Christmas decorations, which Caitlyn took it upon herself to clean up every mess). We loved how Caitlyn pays attention to every detail! Before sitting she meets with your family and makes sure that she knows your pet(s): from treats, feeding and routine, down to the way they like to play and interact. We never worried a minute while we were out of town because she has EVERYTHING under control. It was such a comfort knowing that our pets could stay in their own environment and routine. We would HIGHLY recommend Caitlyn and her pet sitting services. She went above and beyond our expectations, she provided photos each day, very detailed Rover cards each day, and gave us brief text updates daily, as well. She is very trustworthy and we were very comfortable having her in our home. She was meticulous and detailed, and that was very appreciated. We are so grateful to have found her, especially during a holiday time, and can't wait to utilize her services again when traveling.”
About: I have helped raise and train 4 dogs. I dog sit my parents golden retriever and Bernadoodle anytime they go out of town. I love all animals and would love to take care of them! I currently work the dinner shift at Oso in orange beach. I typically only work 3-9/10 and would be available anytime during the day and can even stop by after I get off for a night walk and treats. I live in an apartment so I am unable to bring in extra pets but can easily adapt to your pets routine in your home.
About: Growing up my parents always had atleast 4 dogs and we loved them so deeply and took such good care of them that they all became a member of our family and were treated like they were one of us … I was always taking care of new puppies and neighbors pets when they went out of town and since I can’t convince my husband to let me get another dog I decided the next best thing would be to sit for other peoples animals!! I currently work a part time job . I wake up around 5 and let the dogs out to go potty then bring them in and give them time to eat and drink . They get walked one more time before I head out to work and then go into the kennel if they aren’t trained . As soon as I get home they go outside to go potty and I check their food and water to make sure they have plenty . For the rest of the evening they get walked a few more times and taken to the dog park atleast once before bed. I have a kennel for one extra large dog and I walk them through my neighborhood to the dog park that is exclusive for the residents there. There is not usually anyone there and if there happens to be a dog there that doesn’t seem the friendliest there is a smaller fenced off area for the babies or dogs that aren’t as friendly. I have an extra large tub incase baths are needed and a large dog bed for them to get cozy in after a long day!
About: I’ve taken care of 5 of my dogs for as long as they were with us on earth, my friends and family have relied on me to watch, feed, walk, run with their pets and we are all happy… pets happy, busy owners chilling, and I get to enjoy them for a while too. I’m currently working a few days a week and my schedule is somehow very flexible so I can be available to help you with your pet needs. I would care for your pet/fury baby as my own in your home and most important always respecting any routine that you might have for them.

Dog parents share their Rover experiences - Fairhope
Eleanor was simply amazing! From the moment we met her, I felt completely at ease leaving our pets at home in her care. She was incredibly kind, thorough, and attentive, providing updates, detailed check-ins, and lots of pictures throughout our time away. Seeing those photos and knowing our pets were happy and well cared for brought us so much joy and peace of mind while we were traveling. It is clear that Eleanor genuinely cares about the animals she looks after and goes above and beyond to make sure both pets and owners feel comfortable. I would wholeheartedly recommend Eleanor to anyone looking for a trustworthy, compassionate, and dependable pet sitter. We will absolutely be booking with her again!
Jessica was wonderful! Had a thoughtful meet & greet to get to know Sunny, who immediately ran out for a belly rub. Felt so confident leaving this quirky corgi in her hands, and loved the morning/afternoon photo updates. My dog has often been so blue when I leave her she won't come out from the bed for a dog walker. Sunny adored Jessica - top notch and wish I could offer more stars!

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.
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.

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 .
