“Katie is the best and cares for Lexie as her own. She sends the happiest updates and pictures and spends quality time with your furbaby whether it’s a drop in visit or house sitting. I always feel at ease when Katie is caring for Lexie.”
“This was my first experience with Rover. I was so worried because my regular pet sitter couldn't watch my cat for over a week. Eleanor was the perfect sitter for my Gigi. Gigi is an outdoor cat and not very needy but she does need human contact every day. Eleanor came by twice a day and fed Gigi and checked her water and gave her some love and treats... she sent pictures every visit. It gave me so much piece of mind. Eleanor loves animals and it shows. Ill be booking her again soon!”
“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!”
“This was our first time using a service like this and were very happy with Corey. He was very professional and quick to respond every time. Our dogs are larger and have a lot of energy and he was able to deal with them perfectly. We will definitely use him again in the future!”
“Gabrielle is sending some amazing videos of my Allie girl. I can see she’s doing just fine. I feel grateful that I can relax without worrying! That’s priceless🐩🇺🇸”
“Christina is the best sitter around! Our animals love her and we truly feel they are being well taken care of and given plenty of love every time she cares for them. Highly recommend!”
“Great communication. Coaxed my scardy cats out from their hiding places and took good care of them. Sent pictures at each visit and everything was kept clean and neat. We will plan to use Ariel again.”
“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.”
“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: Hello I have been caring for family dogs since I was 15 between walks, training, and dog sitting. My goal is to make sure your dog is will taken care of and happy. My schedule is very open currently so until that changes I am more than capable of caring for fur babies. So until that changes here we go! I have a fenced yard and 3 dogs from a Yorkie Siberian Husky and Ratterrior. We let them out every 2 hrs of the day and keep them on a good food basis. Making sure they are comfortable and protected in the environment they are in. Which is my goal in a client's home making sure the dogs feel safe around me and comfortable.
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.
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
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’ve taken care of dogs and cats ranging from kittens to 16 year old. I love seeing all the different type of personalities they have. I’m currently working part time- I do school one day a week the rest is online but other than that I am an open book. Taking them on walks daily, make sure they have enough outside time, but also get play time inside in the air conditioning. Fun, play and enjoy

Pet 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!
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!

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 .

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.
