“Tierney is reliable and does a great job taking care of our cat. We especially love the pictures she attaches to his Rover card. It's a peace of mind knowing she's looking out for him and we appreciate it so much!”
About: Over 10 years of experience has taught me the ins and outs of keeping your furry friend happy and healthy. I can ensure a stress-free experience for both you and your pet! My pets are a cherished part of my daily and weekly routine! Each morning starts with a walk or playtime session, keeping them happy and energized. Throughout the day, I sprinkle in quick check-ins to ensure they have fresh water, a clean litter box (if applicable), and maybe even a quick cuddle session. Evenings often involve another walk or playtime, followed by feeding and quality bonding time. Weekends can be filled with longer adventures like hikes or trips to the dog park. Your pet's comfort is my top priority! When caring for your furry friend in their own home, I seamlessly integrate into their daily routine. Mornings begin with fresh food, water refills, and a walk or playtime session to keep them energized. Throughout the day, I provide potty breaks, playtime, and cuddles (of course!), ensuring they feel loved and secure. Evenings involve another walk or playtime, followed by feeding and quality bonding time. This consistent schedule minimizes stress for your pet while you're away.
About: I have taken care of dogs and cats since I was a young teen. My family has always had a lot of cats, and my friends and extended family have always trusted me to house sit or simply watch and play with their dogs and cats as well. I am a student who primarily has class at night, and a day job in Mt. Pleasant. My work schedule allows me for mornings and evenings off on particular days. If you want to inquire about a day, feel free to send me a message. If you need a house sitter, just let me know with 1 or 2 days notice! While animals cannot stay at my apartment, I am more than happy to keep them company in their space! Walking, playtime, and consistent potty breaks are key to a good time with any pet.
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: My name is Lexie and I’m a huge animal lover. I’ve been around animals my whole life and have always had pets in my home. Currently I have 2 dogs and 2 cats and I consider them my babies. I also have 2 children who love animals. We will treat your baby like our own. I’ve hired pet sitters to take care of my animals while I’m away so I know just how important it is to find the right person to care for your fur babies. They will be in good hands with me. Going on walks, playing fetch & giving a good tummy rub are some of my specialties. My dogs are older so I’m well trained in the art of hiding medicine in treats if needed. Also, during each visit with your pet, I’d be happy to text a picture or video to keep you updated on your pets happiness :)
About: I have plenty of experience taking care of animals, including senior dogs and puppies. I’ve also had a few bookings with special requests for medicine that I’ve handled with the utmost care and consistency. I recently moved back to Fairhope from Miami with a remote role and am very excited to have more space and time to care for your furry friend! I do have my own sweet dog (30 lbs) at home and ask that your pup(s) is comfortable with other dogs. I have a second bedroom and double-story space for separation during feeding times.
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.
About: My own dogs have brought me so much joy and happiness. I want to offer that same care and attention to all the dogs and owners in my care. I have experience caring for senior dogs, administering meds, walks, training (Not certified) and overall general care of our 4-legged family members. I work from home, so I can make myself available at any time of the day to meet the needs of you and your pet. I am extremely flexible to provide any care necessary. I have two well behaved pet-friendly dogs of my own, male and female. They are both different sizes, so I have experience caring for both large and small dogs. I have a large fenced-in yard to provide day care, can offer baths, walks, med administration, one-on-one care, senior care, limited training, I can be available for all pet care needs.
About: 🐾 Welcome to Our Home Away From Home! 🐾 I believe every pet deserves to be treated like family. When your furry friend stays with me, they’ll receive the same love, patience, and attention that I give my own dogs. Building trust with both pets and their owners is the most important part of what I do, and I strive to make every visit safe, fun, and stress-free. I encourage meet-and-greets for new clients whenever possible so we can get to know each other, discuss your pet’s routine, answer any questions, and make sure everyone is comfortable before their stay. Boarding Boarding takes place in my home, where your pet will be part of our daily life not left alone in a kennel. I stay home full-time, so your dog will have plenty of supervision, playtime, potty breaks, cuddles, and companionship throughout the day. I have a fully fenced yard where dogs can safely run, explore, and burn off energy. My own two dogs love making new friends: * Pumpkin is my “teenager who acts like a senior.” She’s laid-back, sweet, and enjoys relaxing just as much as playing. * Molly is a six-month-old puppy with lots of energy who loves to play and make new friends. Whether your pet enjoys zoomies in the yard or curling up for a nap, I’ll do my best to match their comfort level and routine. Personalized Care Every pet is different, and every family has different expectations. I’ll happily follow your feeding schedule, medication instructions, exercise preferences, and any special routines that help your pet feel at home. My goal is to keep their experience as familiar and comfortable as possible while you’re away. You’ll also receive updates and photos, because I know how important it is to know your pet is happy and well cared for. My Experience Animals have always been a huge part of my life. Along with professional experience caring for pets, I grew up helping care for neighborhood pets and family animals. Those experiences taught me that patience, consistency, and genuine love make all the difference. When you book with me, you’re not just finding someone to watch your pet, you’re choosing someone who will welcome them into the family and treat them with the love and care they deserve. I can’t wait to meet you and your furry family member! 🐶❤️ Pet care fits naturally into my daily routine, allowing me to provide consistent attention, walks, feeding, playtime, and plenty of affection. I plan my schedule to ensure every pet receives the time and care they deserve. Your pet’s safety and comfort are my top priorities. I carefully follow your instructions for feeding, medications, routines, and exercise while maintaining a clean, secure environment. I have a fully fenced-in yard for safe outdoor play, and my two friendly dogs adore other fur babies and enjoy making new friends. I believe in building trust with both pets and their owners through reliable care, patience, and regular updates. 🐾
About: I have taken care of dogs for the last 8 years! I love to take them on walks and my favorite thing is to teach them new tricks! I am working full time Monday through Friday but I get off at 3:30 everyday so I have more than enough time to take you pet of a late afternoon walk! I am unable to watch pets in my home as I live in an apartment and my dog is a rescue who has some trouble getting along with other pets than my own
“Becca is amazing! I am a nursing student that just began 12 hour clinical days. I feel so much better knowing someone who truly loves my sweet babies is here for them during the day, letting them out, giving them pets and scritches, and boy do they love those treats!”
About: I’ve always loved being around animals and have plenty of experience caring for dogs of all sizes and personalities.

In my home, pets get a clean, safe space, regular walks, and plenty of attention. If I’m in your home, I respect your space and follow your care instructions closely.
About: Hi, I have been around dogs my entire life. They have always brought me such joy and happiness. My very first dog was a chihuahua and she almost made it to 14 years. I have a cocker spaniel now and have been able to potty train, crate train, and teach him tricks. I like to reward him with treats when he does something right. He was a surprise to my family and now I don’t know what I’d do without him. I check in and walk my fiends dogs frequently now as I did in Alabama. I am available most days as long as I have a 24 hr notice. I live in West Hollywood in a very dog friendly neighborhood and would prefer to stay somewhat local. Of course, I’m flexible on that.
“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.”
About: With pet training knowledge it has made pet sitting more fun and entertaining. I can help leash train your pups, teach basic commands, and give tips and tricks to successfully potty train puppies! I'm available seven days a week! Recently quit my day job to pursue my passion again.. pet sitting! I love spending my days loving and spoiling your precious fur babies! My neighborhood has clean safe sidewalks with plenty of shade during those sunny summer days! I also have a partially fenced in yard where we can take leashed potty walks.

Dog parents share their Rover experiences - Fairhope
We just recently moved here. I had a medical emergency and had to quickly fly back for treatment. Rover turned out to be a blessing and Katie literally saved us. She immediately picked us up and helped with our lab Penny even though it was a one-time deal on the spur of the moment. Katie was a life saver and our dog loved her. THANK YOU KATIE!!!!!
Aleigha was incredible!!! Super nice and friendly and was so patient with my fur babies! One of my dogs is super timid and scared and sometimes doesn’t eat when I’m not around. Aleigha was wonderful enough to try hand feeding to get him to eat and it worked! If you’re looking for a pet sitter she’s the one you want!!

Frequently asked questions about Rover
As of June 2026, there are 735 sitters on Rover offering Dog Sitting across Fairhope. Enter your ZIP code to see which available sitters are closest to your home.
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.
Yes, you can find sitters who have experience with handling special pet needs in Fairhope. On Rover:
- 94% of sitters can help with special care needs
- 100% can help with giving oral medications or injections
- 100% 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.
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.
