“Gabrielle did a great job dropping in on our cat. Clear communication, reliable, and clearly really cares about animals. She goes above and beyond, and I highly recommend her!”
“The absolute best! We have hired Christina multiple times and wouldn’t choose anyone else ❤️ She is amazing with our pets, including our older lab who has accidents and trouble getting around.”
“Katie is Awesome! First time leaving our fur babies with someone outside of the family so we were a little concerned. After meeting Katie and her first visit we knew there was nothing to worry about and, she takes amazing photos from each visit! Definitely will be requesting Katie again? Thank you Katie!”
“Ariel was fantastic ! She took tons of photos and made sure Waylon our pug was getting enough love while we were away. Our kitties also enjoyed spending time with Ariel. Highly recommended”
“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.”
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.
“Corey does an outstanding job! He was quick to befriend our little dog who thinks he's a big dog. This was our first experience using Rover.com and we highly recommend it over local vet boarding options. Our pets were comfortable at home and received great care. We especially enjoyed Corey's fantastic daily photo updates, which reassured us that we made the right choice.”
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.
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.
“Leah took the best care of our kitties!! She really is a kitty whisperer and sent us plenty of updates and pictures. We will be using her again for sure & appreciate her so much!”
“Alyssa is amazing!! This is the first time we’ve left our kitties for an extended period of time, and she’s been so great with them. Very communicative, knows what she’s doing, and accommodating! I will definitely be hiring her again!”
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!
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’m a lifelong dog lover with years of hands on experience caring for dogs of all breeds, sizes, ages, and personalities. I also offer cat sitting services for any cat moms and dads. My home has always been filled with dogs, and I currently care for multiple of my own, so I understand the importance of providing consistent, loving, and reliable care. Over the years, I’ve fostered numerous dogs, helping them adjust, build confidence, and find their forever homes. That experience has taught me how to work with dogs who have different temperaments, energy levels, and specific needs. I’m also comfortable administering daily medications and following detailed care instructions to make sure every pet stays happy and healthy. Whether your dog enjoys long walks, playing fetch, exploring the neighborhood, or curling up for snuggles, I’ll tailor their care to match their routine. I know how important it is to leave your pet with someone you trust, so I’ll treat your furry family member like one of my own. You’ll also receive regular updates and plenty of photos, so you can enjoy your time away knowing your pet is safe, loved, and having fun. I can’t wait to meet you and your best friend! I am free most weekends and would love to add a Rover visit to my Friday afternoon, Saturday, or Sunday! I am available from early morning to around 8pm. I am comfortable leash walking, back yard play time, or even just relaxing. Your pet’s needs are catered to your requests and what your fur baby needs.

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.
