“Fantastic! Took such amazing care of our boys, was prompt and communicative, and very friendly. Took extra care of our cat that’s terrified of storms and got our shy cat to open up, which is no small feat. Highly recommend!”
“Kyle was a very last-minute booking, but he made himself available, was very clear about the time needed to do all that was asked, and he seems to have been quite thorough. I am very grateful for his help, and I would not hesitate to book again!”
About: I currently have two rescue cats (Lewis & Clark) who run the place, and before adopting them I grew up with just about every kind of pet imaginable—dogs of all sizes, cats, rabbits, chickens, bearded dragons, and a few others along the way. While I'm a proud cat mom, I absolutely love dogs too! My current place isn't quite big enough for one of my own, so getting to spend time with other people's pups is the next best thing. Whether your pet loves long walks, endless games of fetch, playing with cat toys, or simply having someone to keep them company, I am happy to do it all. My schedule is very open, allowing me to accommodate a variety of drop-in visits throughout the day. Whether your pet needs a quick potty break, playtime, or a little extra company, I'm happy to work around their routine to make sure they feel comfortable and cared for. During every drop-in visit, I'll make sure your pet has everything they need, whether that's fresh food and water, clean litter boxes, playtime, medication (if needed), or simply some extra love and attention. I know every pet has their own routine and personality, so I'll always follow your instructions carefully to help them feel as comfortable as possible. I also love to send photos and updates!
About: Hi, my name is Kelsey! I have had pets my entire life and have experience with dogs and cats (and other animals, just ask!). I work full-time from home, so I will have plenty of time to stay with and pamper your pup! I am incredibly reliable, trustworthy and flexible, and I will make sure your pup is very happy while they are with me! If you do have any questions, please feel free to send me a message and ask! I have a flexible schedule that allows pups to have a great balance of relax and play time. While I’m a homebody and I work from home, I try my best to stick to your buddy’s normal schedule. I do try to go to the gym and errands, so I always try to coordinate the appropriate times to ensure I am able to give everyone a smooth time with me. I take tons of pictures paired with lots of updates on your buddy’s day while you’re away, so you can make sure they are comfortable and happy in their own environment. I always keep the house so clean it won't even feel like anyone was there after I leave!
About: I grew up with a cat of 14 years and later my family adopted a husky which stole our hearts! Since, I have cared for not only my sisters set of 2 beautiful golden retrievers since they were brought home but other dogs of clients and I currently live with a cat! I am currently a 4th year medical student at UAB. My clinical rotation schedule currently is extremely light for the month of February I after 12 PM. And through March April in the first half of May, I am pretty much fully free. Under my care, pets will be brought outside for a potty breaks or a walk only on a safe leash. No dogs will be brought anywhere near roads or construction where they could get injured.
About: Growing up with cats, dogs, and a turtle, I’ve always been an animal lover. Animals are my happy place. I have years of experience with lots of different temperaments and needs. From puppies and kittens, senior dogs and cats, the wild and excited, the shut down, scared or nervous, to everything in between. I am currently available weekdays and weekends for walks, playtime, and house sitting that meet your pets needs. I am also able to come for repeat walks/playtime during the day. I live in a townhome with a fenced patio where my dog loves to sunbathe and take in the scenery. We go on potty breaks and walks by leash with lots of sniff breaks (her favorite). In your home, depending on the style, I can play or supervise inside and outside fenced in play time. I will also take dogs on walks depending on your preference. I also love to give a treat after a good walk or playtime! Potty will always be picked up and dissuaded on walks. If waste needs to be cleaned during back yard time please let me know, I’m happy to keep your yard clean!
“Emily has been over for our pup twice now for drop in visits. She is super sweet and professional- our dog is always happy to see her and she is extremely flexible when she can be. We really do appreciate all her services- would highly recommend.”
“Cody was fantastic with our cat Spike. I sent him a sitting request in a pinch when our sitter canceled the same day we were leaving town. Cody jumped in and did a fantastic job with Spike. Excellent communicator and very helpful. Highly recommend and will book again!”
“Melodie has watched our cats multiple times now over the past year or so. Top notch, highly recommended. Very attentive, great communication and able to give our senior cat his medication . They love her and we do too!”
“Hannah did a great job looking after our cat while we were out of town! She was easy to communicate with, reliable and sent us lots of pictures and videos so that we could see how he was doing. Thank you, Hannah!”
“Cameron was absolutely outstanding. We were away at the beach for a full week, and he took incredible care of our dogs the entire time. He went above and beyond, sending regular updates and photos that gave us complete peace of mind while we were away. It was obvious from every picture and message that our dogs were happy, comfortable, and receiving plenty of attention and affection. Cameron treated them like they were his own. He was reliable, communicative, trustworthy, and genuinely cared about our pets. We cannot say enough good things about our experience. If you are looking for someone who will take exceptional care of your dogs and keep you informed every step of the way, Cameron is your guy. We will absolutely book with him again and highly recommend him to anyone looking for a pet sitter. Five stars. ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐”
About: I look forward to spending time with every animal that I care for! Ever since losing my own dog in 2020, nothing brings me more joy than being able to care for and love on others' pets! I love going for walks or just sitting and spending quality time with pets. I am a college student so my schedule tends to fluctuate! However, I usually have availability that those with other jobs may not! I tend to do lunch time visits or overnight visits for pet care. I am open to any and all of your pet care needs! I care for pets as if they were my own. If I stay at someone's house, I abide by their household rules and make sure to keep their pets on schedule. Pets are my priority!
“Piper is always our first choice for when our cats need someone to look after them. She always sends detailed updates, communicates amazingly, sends great photos, and clearly takes great care of our two cats. I highly recommend Piper!”
About: For as long as I can remember, there have always been pets in my life! Whether that was in my own home growing up, in a family member's home, at friends' houses, etc. I have often been the go-to person when it comes to caring for them when their owners are out of town. From walking, feeding, playing, administering medication, and more, I have absolutely loved getting to care for pets of all sizes and ages. As for my own pet experience, after moving to Birmingham in 2018 I applied to become a foster through Two by Two Rescue and began fostering (and quickly failed) with my sweet 13-year-old Pekingese, Max. He was truly the light of my life and we were the best of friends! He taught me a ton about how to care for senior dogs. Before his passing in 2021, I rescued my cat, Mews, and although she's a little hesitant around other pets she stays in her own space! At my own home, I do have stairs but have no issue helping any senior pups or dogs afraid of going upstairs feel comfortable. I used to have to carry Max all the time, haha. I'm also comfortable with pee pads as they used to be a staple in my apartment. I'm not particular about whether or not your pet is create trained and have no issue if they're not! As long as they'd be okay around my cat, I'm more than happy to let them roam around as they please. There are plenty of sidewalks around my apartment for walkies and we're close to a community park as well! Discussing my work schedule is something I do before my meet and greets just so we both have an understanding of expectations. However, my full-time job is a hybrid environment so I'm able to work remotely usually 2 days out of the week (Tuesdays and Thursdays) to care for your pet. On days I am in the office, I'm happy to run by your home during my lunch break if you're close to my office in Hoover. At my home, there is plenty of walking space to take your pup out and get some exercise. We can visit a local park near my house if that's something they'd enjoy. I'm also happy to crate your fur baby if needed.
“Great communication, and our animals loved her! Very detailed reports and lots of photos from each visit. Would definitely schedule her again and would absolutely recommend!”

Britiany took GREAT care of our sweet kitty boys while we were gone for the weekend. She was very detail oriented and left report cards of each of her visits and sent us pictures of our fluffy boys. She took extra time to play with them and try to wear them out before the 4th of July fireworks got started, so hopefully our kitty who’s afraid of storms would be too tied to care! So very kind and thoughtful! We will definitely book Britiany again in the future!
Kyle came once a day to look in on our cats, give them fresh food and water, and take care of the litter boxes. He communicated every day to let me know how it was going - even though the cats didn't come out for him (I have since talked to the cats about showing some gratitude). He was easy to work with. When we met in person I could tell he cared a lot about animals and had great attention to detail. Definitely will have Kyle back, and maybe the cats will be more appreciative this time.
Hannah did a great job taking care of my boys! This is my second time booking with her and I will definitely be booking again for future care. Hannah does a great job communicating, letting me feel at ease that my cats have the best possible care while I’m away.
Grace was an incredible addition to our home while we were away. She consistently posted updates and photos of our cats, which made me feel so much better about being away from them. She is reliable, trustworthy, and clearly cares deeply for the pets she watches. She kept them well fed, maintained the litter box, and gave us total peace of mind while we traveled. I would absolutely recommend Grace to anyone looking for someone to take great care of their pets.
Julianna was on time, kind, and patient with our cat. He is very timid around new people and we appreciate that she took her time with him and took care of his needs. This was the longest we’ve been away from our cat and we could tell he was doing well with each photo and feedback received!

The average cost for Cat Sitting in Homewood on Rover is $24.42 per visit (as of July 2026). However, all sitters set their own rates based on experience, location, and availability.

Cat sitters on Rover care for your cats’ needs and can spend quality time with them, including activities like feeding, playing, and refreshing their water and litter boxes. Depending on your arrangement, you can schedule as many visits per day as your cat needs or find a sitter who can stay at your house overnight. Some sitters also board cats in their home.
House sitting can be ideal for cats who need socialization or care that lasts longer than a few hours. Your cat stays in their own home, on their own schedule, with care based on what you and your sitter agree on together.
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.
A Meet & Greet is a short introductory meeting between you, your cat, 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.
Yes, you can find sitters who have experience with handling special pet needs in Homewood. On Rover:

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.
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.
