“Katharine has been my saving grace since getting my Benny boy. Her love and care for my puppy doesn’t go unnoticed. She is the most reliable help I have found so far, and I plan to keep her around for as long as she will let me. My Benny loves her and so do I! Thank you Katharine for all you do for us, and I absolutely recommend using her for your doggy needs! ❤️”
About: While I have owned dogs and cats most of my life, most recently I have been working as an assistant kennel manager at a doggie daycare and boarding facility. I am well-versed in a number of breeds, variety of sizes and ages, as well as medical needs. I am comfortable handling dogs safely and administering medication or other care instructions. My goal is to create an environment that keeps your pet happy and healthy! I have open availability to care for a pet on a daily or weekly basis, with the ability to schedule my routine around the needs of the animal I am caring for. I care for pets as if they were my own and according to the instructions of the pet owner. It is important that the pet feels safe and comfortable in their environment and my goal is to maintain that.

“Kate went above and beyond with taking care of my cats today. She cleaned up their messes and made sure they were well taken care of. I will be booking with her again in the future. Thanks!!!”
“Kelsey was truly incredible. Henry (our fierce chihuahua) is hesitant to outsiders but this was no task for Kelsey. They seemed to have bonded immediately and I know for sure Henry was in great hands. Kelsey took multiple photos on every visit, left a detailed summary of what happened at each visit, and even stayed overtime with Henry because of all the fun they were having :). I 100% recommend Kelsey and will being looking for her on the next family vacation with no furry family members! Kelsey definitely loves what she is doing and it shows in her work! Can’t thank her enough!!”

Dog parents share their Rover experiences - Hoover
Amy was amazing with our dog Bonnie while we were away! She communicated frequently, sent updates/photos, and made us feel really comfortable leaving her. Bonnie seemed so happy and well taken care of when we got home and our house was spotless. We would definitely recommend Amy and will be booking again!
We highly recommend Kennedy, she is the absolute best! Kennedy was incredibly reliable, professional, and excellent at communication—we love getting the updates and photos! It gave us total peace of mind knowing our dogs were safe, happy, and getting plenty of exercise. If you want a sitter/walker who truly cares, Kennedy is your person!
Melodie was amazing with my dog!! My dog was being difficult in typical husky fashion and Melodie handled it perfectly!! She was right on time and she even stayed longer then the booked time to try to get my difficult dog back in his crate😆. I would recommend her to anyone!
Heather) is AMAZING!!! My dog, Merlin absolutely loves her and was always so happy when she would come to take him to play! I would trust her with my animals any time! She is very responsible, timely and extremely efficient with communication! I 100% recommend her for any Rover job!
"I highly recommend Andrew! He agreed to several meet and greets to make sure he, the dogs and I were all comfortable before I left. He was fantastic with my dogs while I was away. He visited them twice a day, sent me photos and updates, and I could tell from the pictures that my dogs were having a great time. He was also very reliable and communicative, which gave me peace of mind while I was gone. My dogs seemed happy and well-cared for when I returned. They really seemed a little disappointed when it was me coming home not Andrew!!! 😊 I will be delighted use Andrew again and to refer Andrew to friends and family Thank you, Andrew!!!"

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 Hoover 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.
Key handling is entirely up to you and your sitter to agree on during the Meet & Greet or in the Rover app. Most pet parents in Hoover choose to hand over a spare key or digital fob in person, while others arrange a lockbox or unique access code. Don't forget to discuss key returns as well!
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 dog, 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.
While Rover doesn’t offer traditional subscription services, some sitters offer recurring bookings for services like home visits and dog walking. Recurring services come with their own perks, such as flexibility to modify services (up to five weeks in advance), automatic billing, Rover Card updates, and same-day cancellations.
To find sitters in Hoover with recurring or weekly availability, select "Repeat Weekly" and which days you’d like them to care for your pet.

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.
