“Sarah was wonderful with our 8 week old kittens. She sent lots of videos and pictures to keep us updated. You can definitely tell she loves animals and took great care of our girls. We will definitely use Sarah again!”
About: I’ve had dogs my whole life so I understand their needs. I also just love dogs and I take walks daily, so adding your furry friend into my routine is perfect. I’ve been pet sitting all through college and am currently hosting a friends pug for the month. Please reach out as I am flexible regarding times and needs. Unfortunately Monday-Thursday I work 8-5 so I would only be available at night but Friday- Sunday I am very open! Currently I work Monday- Thursday 8am-5pm so I would only be available for night walks those days or to house sit over night. However on the weekends I am available for pet sitting or walking almost whenever needed! Please reach out and we will work out a schedule that works for us. I do not house pets in my home but if there is a fenced in yard, I will definitely take dogs outside to play on top of going for walks!
“Macy was great! With laylah having a new medication that had to be administered at not idea times, I was worried it would be difficult having a sitter that could make it work. Macy was able to with ease and helped me not be so worried about it. She was nice and professional and laylah warmed up to her as soon as she met her. Would recommend!”
“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: I grew up with dogs. Currently I have a four year old Husky who has turned me into an excellent dog walker. Because he is so high energy, I am familiar with having to keep an energetic dog entertained. My dog keeps me pretty active. Since he is a working-dog breed, I stay active either walking/jogging with him, or checking out the local dog parks. I am happy to go on walks with any dog. Unfortunately my yard is not fenced in, by my house is puppy proof and there is plenty of room to play.
About: I've always been a dog lover at heart for all 39 of my years! Dogs bring me so much joy. 🩵😁🩵 🐾I've lived in Daphne for 9 years with my husband, 2 sons, and dogs. Before having kids, I was a Veterinary Assistant at an animal hospital and loved every minute of it! I also helped manage the vet's Canine Rehabilitation Center, where I performed water and land exercises individually with canine patients. I've always had a passion for caring for canines and giving them the best life, full of love. 🐾I have one dog currently, a two year old German short haired pointer mix named Luna (short for Luna-tic), who I absolutely adore and consider part of the family. 🐾It is my goal to make your pup as happy and loved as possible during my visits, filled with exercise, affection, and pets of plenty! I always strive to provide elite quality care for all dogs and open communication with the owners. I'm a very detail oriented and reliable adult, and will always be respectful while at your home and neighborhood. My primary goal is to exceed your expectations by always going the extra mile and loving your pet as I do my own! 🐕🐩🐶🐕🦺 I look forward to becoming your dog's new best friend! 😁 I currently offer dog walks, check-ins, and baths, Monday through Friday from 8 to 3, while my young kids are in school. My main locations are Daphne, Spanish Fort, and Fairhope, but can make exceptions if a little farther out. A check-in visit includes getting fresh water, fed, exercise/play time, fetch, brushing, giving meds, getting let in/out, etc, and of course lots of free belly rubs. I'm very flexible and open to however you prefer me to use my time during your visits. For walks, I will go at your dog's prefered pace, pick up after them, avoid hot pavement, and can go on whatever route you prefer. I'm also happy to give your dog a bath in your tub or out in the hose.
“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.”
About: With over 20 years as a devoted dog mom, my heart and home are open to your fur baby. I have a profound love for dogs and prefer them to people. lol- JK…ish🐾🤭 jokes aside, every dog deserves a place where they can be cared for, loved, and comfortable when their people have to be away. Offering that is a great responsibility I take pleasure in embracing. Raising my current Weimaraner’s, June and Pluto, from puppyhood, I’ve honed my skills in consistent, patient, and loving puppy training. I’m equally experienced with senior dogs, including those with mobility challenges or blindness, ensuring they feel safe and cherished. From the eye boogers to more serious issues, I’m always prioritizing your dog’s unique needs with honesty and integrity. My home features a large, fenced backyard and a cozy screened-in patio for relaxing together. With me working from home, your pup will enjoy constant companionship alongside June and Pluto, who love welcoming new pack members.🐾🤎 Working from home, I provide round-the-clock companionship for your dog. My flexible job lets me step away to play outside, cuddle indoors, or give pets and love throughout the day. Whether in our dog🐾approved large backyard, my couches, or even my bed, I’m always by your pup’s side, ensuring they’re never alone. June and Pluto, my 2 Weims are naturally gentle, playful, and welcoming to dogs of all sizes, from tiny paws to big goofballs. Dogs are masters at reading energy, and I promise your pup will feel safe, loved, and a genuine pack inclusion.🐾 Our backyard is great! It is a secure paradise for zoomies, fetch, and adventures—safe, private, and fun. When it’s time to wind down, our screened-in patio is the spot to relax together, soak up the breeze, and just chill…. or get the squeaky out of every toy 😆 We do have pool, but rest assured: I’m always vigilant and take precautions or jump in fully clothed without hesitation- seriously, no worries. To make your pup feel extra comfortable, please bring their favorite daily essentials (bedding, blankets, crate, toys, food, etc.). I have plenty of backups on hand if needed, but nothing beats their own familiar smells! 🐾 Every stay is tailored with all my heart to your dog’s unique personality and routine. Your pup will have constant companionship, warm welcomes from June and Pluto, and never a dull (or lonely) moment. *and they will comeback to you bathed if needed* Contact me for a safe, fun, loving stay—
About: Dogs are my passion! Love taking care of them and playing with them! I mainly enjoy going on walks with dogs I am a sitter for! I am a work from home employee! I have very flexible hours and can go be available whenever is best needed for me to help with their dog! The way I care for pets is as if they are apart of my family! Every dog needs love and that is what I try to show them!
“Chandler was great with our lab! She was very responsible, prompt and sent photos every day while we were out of town….she did a great job for us. She came to our home to get familiar with where she would be going every day and got to meet Maisey. We will certainly call her again…such a sweet person!”
“Jordan was an amazing cat sitter and first time experience using Rover! She even came over last minute and checked on one of our babies when we saw him messing with something he shouldn’t be on the cat cam. We have two special needs cats and three cats total and she did a great job spending time with each. Highly recommended.”
About: I’ve raised and been around dogs my entire life. I can train minor skills to puppies along with potty training. The bigger the dog the better! I live for big goofy giants that still deserve all the love! I also have experience administering medicine to even the most stubborn of dogs. I fully aim to make sure your babies are left healthy, fed and enriched. (I am allergic to cats) I’m fully available day or night. I’m also willing to spend extra time for slower dogs or for dogs who have more energy than most. I’ll wrestle em. I love dogs more than people most of the time. I understand that no two dogs are the same and they all come with different sets of needs. I personally have an ACD and Newfoundland, I can handle just about anything. I love the giant teddy bears and tiny terrors all the same! I’m willing to play, cuddle, and just love your babies like they’re my own dogs.
“We love Courtney, she was so sweet with the boys! Sent me some adorable photos of them and we had a quick meet and greet just a couple days before on short notice, so that was super helpful and I greatly appreciated it. I’ll definitely be booking with her again eleven the time arrives. 😊”
About: I have a true love and a passion for animals. I am currently working on becoming a dog trainer so if needed I can teach your baby some basic commands on walks! I am a stay at home wife. I have two dogs of my own who loves to run so I would love to let your pets have some free time while you are away I will treat your pet like I treat my own with nothing but love and fun! Whether that is just a jog around the neighborhood, a bath or playing
About: I've been taking care of dogs and animals ever since I've been a child. I currently dog sit and walk 2 dogs and have been doing so for over 2 years. Willing to watch more than just dogs, meow, cats need care too. If your furry friend just needs a walk,or you need to go out of town and they require more care,I have you covered from the comfort of your pets home. I currently work part-time as a walker and care taker for two lovely dogs now. My schedule is open enough for time for your fur baby as well. I would be caring for your baby in the comforts of your home, however if friendly I do have a big lab that would enjoy a play date!
“Dawn is the best sitter I've hired on Rover, hands down!!! She is professional, punctual, conscientious, pleasant and thoughtful! She did an awesome job taking care of my kitties! She even won over my shy kitty, which is saying a lot! I can't say enough good things about Dawn. She's the best!”

We couldn't be happier with the care Katie provided! She was extremely punctual, followed all of our instructions to a tee, and took fantastic care of our dog. The daily updates and wonderful photos kept our minds completely at ease while we were away. Highly recommend Katie—we'll definitely be reaching out to 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!
I just returned home from a 2 1/2 week trip. I took a chance on Almeda because there was just something about her profile I liked - in glad I did. I've never used a sitter service before and Almeda made the process easy and assured me she would take wonderful care of my fur babies and she did just just that. She communicated with me the entire time and she even went about and beyond when asked to do so such as bringing in my mail because I completely forgot about handling that before I left! I definitely look forward to using her in the future and would highly recommend her for taking care of your fur babies!

Frequently asked questions about Rover
The average cost of Pet Sitting in Fairhope is $28 per visit as of November 2026. Most bookings cost between $19 and $35 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 709 sitters on Rover offering Pet Sitting across Fairhope. 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 Fairhope. On Rover:
- 91% of sitters can help with special care needs
- 97% can help with giving oral medications or injections
- 97% 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.
