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.
About: I’ve taken care of dogs since I was eight years old. 14 years later, I am still doing just that, except this time to support myself in college. I also have 2+ years of experience with Wag! and have walked over 70 dogs. I walk dogs every other day and play with them in my school’s lawn. As long as I’m done with my school assignments, I’m happy to play with your pup! I will always keep the dog on the leash unless otherwise indicated. I take extra caution to see that they don’t eat anything off the street.
“Macy is so kind and thoughtful and clearly great with our pup, Marjorie. I would happily recommend anyone booking with her, and we’ll definitely be reaching out for any future Rover needs!”
About: Hi!! I have over 6 years of experience caring for dogs and other pets for family, friends, and neighbors. In addition, I have worked for a dachshund breeder and dog daycare, where I gained hands-on experience caring for dogs of different ages, personalities, and needs. I am reliable, patient, and passionate about animals. Whether your pet needs walks, playtime, feeding, or extra attention, I will make sure they receive safe, loving care while you’re away. I’m currently not in school and on summer break. I’m home the majority of the day. I’m available weekdays, weekends, and most times of the day. Your pet’s safety and happiness are my top priorities. I have plenty of room in my house for the pet to be comfy and cozy. I have a trail/park behind my house where I like to walk pets!
About: I worked as a kennel technician at a veterinary clinic for two years and volunteered before that at a veterinary clinic and an animal shelter. I have extensive experience with various behavioral issues including leash anxiety, nipping, pulling, and jumping and can handle almost anything. I love cats and dogs and am excited to provide expert level care for your pets! I’m working towards a masters degree online so my schedule is very flexible! I’m available Monday-Friday from 10am-7pm for drop ins, play time, cuddles, and walks. Safety is my first priority when it comes to pet care. I always approach animals with respect and compassion and will do my best to meet their individual needs.
“Brooke took us last min and was great with our Piper. We are moving out of state so we won’t be able to use her again.. but I encourage others to use her. She was great! Very caring and attentive! I know Piper enjoyed having her walk and spend time with her.. definitely recommend!!”
“Aniya did an amazing job with Max and Milo with taking them out and sending me pictures while they were out on their walk. Anyia was very informative and I truly appreciate the fact that she took the time to be informative. I will use her again to take care of my fur babies.”
“Courtney was great with my furbaby. She was timely, professional, kind, dependable, and took good care of my baby on his walks. We look forward to working with her again soon. Great job!!!”
About: I've taken care of family pets and neighbors' dogs for several years, as well as cats and fish. I have experience with the Greater Birmingham Humane Society and my own dog for three years. I'm available and flexible, so I'm ready to help out whenever you and your furry friend need me! When I'm not helping with neighborhood pets, you'll likely see me and my dog out for walks or training. I believe in meeting dogs where they are at by responding to their energy levels. That may mean making sure they are comfortable during stressful situations or jumping in to play at higher energy times! My primary goal is to make sure they are safe and set up for success when you are not at home, so I am happy to employ specific care instructions. No two dogs are the same!
“Nichole was incredibly patient with my dog Mabel! Mabel can be really timid and scared of new people, and Nichole didn't force Mabel to go a walk when Mabel opted to stay in her kennel. Highly recommend and will be using again in the future!”
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!
About: Providing house sitting and walking services in the greater Birmingham area. I love meeting new friends and getting to know your pet! Book with me today :) M-F I’m flexible before 2pm and after 10:30pm , weekends I’m fully available. I do photography sessions occasionally that might pop up but I will let the client know if that is the case. I am very careful and compassionate when caring for someone’s pet. I know this animal is someone’s family and I strive to be very responsible!
“Gracie is a fantastic Rover! She is very pleasant to work with and even helped me out last minute for a quick drop in to feed my four legged furry friend. Doesn’t disappoint with her walks either. She goes the distance to get your dog some good exercise! Will use as long as she around!”
About: I’ve had my dog, Ollie, for 5 years since he was 8 weeks old, and my rescue Sadie since March 2024. I have always had a special place in my heart for animals. My dad is allergic to dogs and cats, so growing up I didn’t get to have any of my own (besides the occasional fish). But anytime a friend or family member needed someone to take care of their pet, I would gladly do it. I am currently available on weekdays at any time and most weekends. I can make time to check on your pup or kitten whenever we you need me to! During home visits and/or walks, I will make sure your pet has a well-loved visit including some cuddles and belly-rubs, play time, taken outside to potty, and/or at least a 10 minute walk (unless requested longer). I can also feed your dog if requested. During the hotter months (85 degrees and up) I would prefer to not walk your dog longer than 20mins during the hours of 11am - 5pm, due to keeping your pups best interest at heart (burnt paws, overheating, etc.) but will gladly play with them outside in a backyard/dog area for longer!
About: I have had multiple dogs growing up I do have a dog right now and I have dog sat my aunts dog while leaves. Dogs and children are the two things I really love in this world and I feel that I know how to care for them as they are my own. I a pretty free after 12 during the weekdays and on the weekend I am very free to do what ever needs to be done. I have a lot of time to spare and spend with dogs rather that be a nice long walk like I do with my dog everyday or just playing with for a while. I live in an apartment with my own dog but I have plenty of space for them to play and keep each other company. If you dog does require a crate I have enough space for that and have a nice trail and a park next to my apartment for me to walk them around.
About: Happy to walk or sit for any dog in the Birmingha area. I love all dogs and especially love taking my own Mr. Crayon on a walk! No dog is too young or too old. I have been taking care of pets for the past couple of summers and have done anything from walks to overnight stays. Please text me for more information or if you would like to get some walks set up! My schedule is very flexible! Excited to meet some pups! I work remotely, part-time on Mon-Thurs afternoons. I am usually free Friday-Sunday for housesitting and am free for morning walks. My schedule is very flexible so I am happy to work something out! I cannot care for pets in my own home but happy to take care of pets in clients home.

Chloe provided more than just a walk and feeding. She made my pup feel loved and gave him some extra loving while I was away. I ended up getting home later than expected and she took initiative to go ahead and put my grocery delivery away which made coming home feel more at ease. Although it may seem like a small act of kindness, it’s the little things that make her the perfect fit for us!

Frequently asked questions about Rover
The average cost for Dog Walking in Homewood on Rover is $37.19 per walk (as of July 2026). However, all sitters set their own rates based on experience, location, and availability.
Rover makes budgeting the cost of Dog Walking 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 Dog Walking. For more information on service fees, click here .
As of July 2026, there are 957 sitters on Rover offering Dog Walking across Homewood. Enter your ZIP code to see which available sitters are closest to your home.
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 Homewood. Since all dog walkers are local, they may have a neighborhood dog who is a good walking companion to yours.
For dog walking services, you can request a report card update with specifics about your dog’s walk. Report cards require photos and can include a map of the walking route , total walk time, poop and pee breaks, and distance traveled, so you know exactly where your dog has been walking in Homewood.

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.
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. 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 .
Yes, you can find walkers who have experience with handling special pet needs in Homewood. On Rover:
- 95% of walkers can help with special care needs
- 96% can help with giving oral medications or injections
- 98% 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 dog, and a walker. It can take place in person or virtually, although we recommend in-person so that your pet can get to know your walker 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. Most pet parents and walkers 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 walker.
