“JaNiya was amazing with my dog, Goose! I can always tell if he’s been well taken care of by how calm he is when I return from work. She even gave some love to my cat, too!”
About: I can’t remember a time in my life I haven’t had at least 4 or 5 dogs around me. My family calls me a dog whisperer. Me and dogs just.. understand each other… I think they read the “grandparent” energy I have for them! Every dog loves me because I take care of them and listen to them. I have a beautiful 5 acres and the house for them to stay in and also a 1,200 square foot air conditioned clean garage for them to play in as well as a good yard and a perfect place to walk them if anyone likes their dogs to have extra walks. I’d love to take care of your babies for any reason! I’m pretty flexible so just let me know what you have in mind. I’m available all day every day pick up or drop off. Anytime any day. Dog boarding and grooming and training is what I do and no one does it better! I care for all animals as if they were my own babies. Animals have this pure energy that comes from them and we just understand each other. I love playing with and being around the animals and they love to be around me the same way. I make sure to be careful about leaving dogs unattended I always assure safety first. But a close second to safety is freedom. They love feeling free. And I offer them that safely.
About: Hi there! I’ve been a proud pet parent for years and have loved every minute of it—from puppy zoomies to kitten cuddles. I’ve raised my own pets since they were little and know just how much love (and treats!) it takes to keep them happy and healthy. I’ve also been the go-to pet sitter for friends and family, caring for both dogs and cats of all personalities and sizes. Whether your fur baby loves long walks, playtime, or just a cozy spot to nap, I’m here to make sure they feel safe, loved, and totally spoiled while you’re away! I am a mom to two young children and sometimes need to bring them with me. I offer flexible pet-sitting services with availability throughout the entire week, including weekends. I’m happy to provide drop-in visits at any time of day, whether your pet needs early morning care, midday check-ins, or evening attention. My schedule is designed to accommodate a variety of routines, so you can feel confident that your pet will receive consistent, reliable care whenever it’s needed. Your pet’s well-being is my top priority, and I care for every animal as if they were my own. I understand how important it is to feel confident that your furry family member is safe, comfortable, and loved while you’re away. I’m gentle, attentive, and always tuned in to your pet’s unique needs—whether that means extra snuggles, a calm presence, or sticking closely to their daily routine. I’m happy to follow any special care instructions you provide, and I’ll keep you updated with messages and cute photos so you can relax knowing your pet is in loving hands
About: I’ve taken care of animals since the young age of 10 and have always been an animal lover of all animals and have owned several dogs. I have always trained my own from potty training, crate training, to shaking hands, and have always done amazing with them. I’ve rescued several animals and strays. I absolutely love all fur babies and enjoy taking them on hikes and would love to take your fur baby on a hike or to play fetch. I work a full time job Monday-Wednesday with having a very short work day on Thursdays. I always have the spare time throughout my off days and will be able to take good care of your fur babies at all times. I have a huge yard with one fur baby that could keep yours company. My fur baby is friendly and would love to have a play date. I also can easily crate your animal if i ever needed to do so.
About: When I was young I used to accompany my aunt to her pet sitting jobs, my favorite gig she had was taking care of three dogs: Harley, Kramer and Jax. Two Minature Schanuzers and a Jack Russell Terrier. My only recent sitting job was feeding, scooping litter, giving pets to 4 friendly felines and 1 cute dog named Luna. Luna had a 6 step feeding regiment and was at first very unsure of me being a new person, but I quickly gained her trust. I'm currently taking time off from working so I have complete open-availability. Monday - Sunday 24/7 365. If I'm needed and I don't have any withstanding appointments, I can be there. I have too many pets for a comfortable home-stay, but I'm always available for a quick visit or single day or multiple day visits. I could probably stay full time at someone's residence if needed. I always double, triple check that a key is hidden or placed well. I'm very attentive using doors, checking multiple times if I lock and watch the doors going in and out. I can follow very specific feeding or diet instructions if needed.

At your home, I will do whatever is asked. I am very attentive to detail. Will send updates of how your pets are doing.

About: I’ve had several different kinds of animals over my almost 30 years of life, and I consider myself a HUGE animal lover. I’ll take care of your babies as if they were my own… I’d own them all if I could! I work full time during the week, but I am available Friday-Sunday for boarding, or walks any time of the day! I’d love to get to know your fur babies! I have a fenced in backyard, with a doggy door to my back door- that can easily be closed off/shut.

Whether you want a solo or group walk depends on your dog's personality. Solo walks can be beneficial for dog parents with reactive dogs, puppies, or dogs who are anxious around unfamiliar animals. Many dog walkers on Rover offer private, one-on-one walking services.
Group walks are a good fit for social dogs who enjoy structured walks. If your dog prefers the energy of a group stroll, ask your dog walker about group walks in your Fort Payne. Since all dog walkers are local, they may have a neighborhood dog who is a good walking companion to yours.

Every walker 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.

Yes, you can find sitters who have experience administering medication or managing dietary requirements. You can also find pet sitters who accept only one pet at a time, which is ideal for anxious puppies 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 request a 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 walker 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 walker 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 walker for longer stays or first-time bookings. Read our tips for your first Meet & Greet .
walkers 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 walker.
