“Katie did an excellent job!! I received thorough updates while I was away on my work trip, and it helped alleviate any anxiety about how she was doing. Reba was well taken care of.”
“Jessica was lovely with our cat! Everything went perfect, she was so attentive to the care that our baby needed in the drop in visits during 3 days! Smooth proccess and communication. We recommend her and for sure look for her again to visit our cat!”
About: I have been around dogs my entire life. My passion and love for dogs inspired me to start a dog rescue a few years ago. Since starting the rescue, I have gained experience with dogs of all different ages, breeds, and sizes. I have also learned to handle a variety of different behavior and health issues. I have experience with aggressive, fearful, and anxious dogs. I am confident in handling just about any type of dog. I can be available most days of the week. My schedule is flexible for the most part, so I will do my best to accommodate you. While caring for your pet, I will do my best to treat them as you would. I will give them plenty of love and attention, but also be sure to set the same boundaries for them as you do. For example, if you don't allow them on the couch then I will do the same. I will also send you plenty of updates on how they are doing while I am with them.
“Maegan is very punctual and attentive to Smurf. Smurf likes to play and seems to love Maegan. She takes extra time to make sure Smurf’s needs are met! She is a true pet lover! I would highly recommend Maegan and will continue to use her in the future.”
“Christina is simply amazing! Wish I had known about her sooner! She has awesome communication skills and keeps you updated about every aspect of your pets well-being. She even washed the dog’s comforter when one of them got sick. I would say that is going way beyond the call of duty. Our doodles can often be skittish around new people but both acted like they wanted to go home with her the moment they met. If I could leave a 10 star review I would!”
“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!”
“Corey was excellent!! He did both some overnights and drop ins with our dogs and every visit went great. He is knowledgeable about dogs, and handles them with ease. One of our dogs is pretty skeptical about people and she took to him immediately which eased our concerns about using Corey for the first time. I would recommend him to anybody looking for a dog sitter, or dog boarding!!”
About: I have cared for animals of all kinds, dogs, cats, horses, cows, you name it, since I was little on my grandparent’s farm. I can get along with them all, from high energy to couch nappers. Going on walks or runs is something I do often with my pit mix, so I welcome that as well! I am currently a senior at Troy and interning at a school. I am free on weekdays after school hours and some weekends. On weekends I am not in Troy, I will be around the Dothan area. With an extensive pet care background, I am big on doing whatever your pet feels comfortable with. I know personalities can vary, so I try to accommodate how I interact with them based on that.
About: I’ve had a dog since I was 5. At one time I even had 5 dogs. I’m experienced with dogs of all ages from puppies to seniors. I’ve also had all sizes of dogs from small to X-Large. I’m currently working part time so I have plenty of time to pet sit. I’m available week days and weekends. Whenever you need me to drop in on your pets. If you have a fenced yard I can supervise and play with your fur baby outside. If not I can walk your baby on a leash.
“Ariel did a great job with our kitty -- took care of everything he needed and was diligent about her arrival timing. We appreciate this first visit and getting to know her and looking forward to more!”
“Jennifer is the best!! We felt at ease for the entire duration of our trip away. Our babies, 5 year old dog and 4 month old kitten, were well fed and played with. We will definitely be requesting Jennifer’s services in the near future!!”
About: I have had a dog for as long as I can remember. I grew up taking care of our family dogs and would occasionally dog sit for others. I am able to give your dog the care they need in order to be comfortable and enjoy their time while you are away. I am currently a student at USA. I am home most of the day, when I am not in class. I live 4 minutes from campus so your dog will never be left alone for more than 2 hours at a time. I only have class once a day. I have a fenced in back yard and a golden doodle of my own that is very playful and gets along with other dogs very well. We go on walks daily and have lots of playtime.
About: Between my 10 month old & 14 year old pups, I can pretty much do everything! With my 14 year old pup being a senior, I have learned to be very patient and understanding with him so I would say I have excellent senior care. My 10 month old pup has had me revisiting the puppy stages, so I’m used to all different ages, personalities, and energies. I’m currently getting my veterinary technician associates degree. I am a college student doing online classes so my schedule is pretty flexible. I can do walks on weekdays from 9 a.m. to sunset. I have a fenced yard with 2 dogs but my senior dog will just stay inside. I have a puppy who would love a friend!

Pet parents share their Rover experiences - Fairhope
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 for Pet Sitting in Fairhope on Rover is $27.75 per visit (as of July 2026). However, all sitters set their own rates based on experience, location, and availability.
Rover makes budgeting the cost of Pet Sitting easy. As long as your dates and pet profiles are correct, the price you see before you book is the same price you pay for Pet Sitting. For more information on service fees, click here .
As of July 2026, there are 750 sitters on Rover offering Pet 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.
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:
- 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.
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.
