“Jennifer was wonderful. This was our first time using “Rover” and it exceeded our expectations. Jennifer kept in touch with us and sent pics of our girl. We highly recommend Jennifer!!”
“I don’t trust many people with my furkids, but Erik is GREAT with my dogs! I don’t worry when I know he’s looking after them. He’s attentive and very interactive…they love him. Erik is very friendly, responsive and communicative—he’s my ‘go-to’ Rover and I highly recommend him.”

About: I’ve been caring for dogs and cats for as long as I can remember. I understand how important it is to know your pets are safe, loved, and well cared for when you’re away. My goal is to provide reliable, compassionate care while giving you peace of mind. I’d love the opportunity to support you and treat your pets like they’re part of my own family. Hi, I’m Coleman! I’m a registered nurse who loves helping others, and that passion extends to caring for animals, too. I’m dependable, attentive, and calm under pressure, and I know how important it is to have someone you can trust with those you care about most. Whether your pet needs a walk, playtime, companionship, or extra attention while you’re away, I’ll treat them with the same kindness, patience, and respect I’d want for my own. I look forward to meeting you and your furry family! I provide dependable, compassionate pet care that’s tailored to each pet’s unique needs and routine. Whether it’s daily walks, feeding, fresh water, playtime, companionship, administering medications when needed, or cleaning up after them, I’m committed to making sure your pet feels safe, comfortable, and loved while you’re away. I also pay close attention to changes in behavior or health, follow your instructions carefully, and provide updates along the way so you can have peace of mind knowing your pet is in caring, reliable hands.
“We have used Barbara twice and she has been great. She is very communicative and friendly. She made sure Rasta was very well taken care of until we arrived back home! We will continue to use Barbara as long as she’s available.”
About: As much of a people person I am, I’d consider my self equally as much of a pet person! I love to engage with animals and learn about their personalities and engage with them in whatever environment keeps them happy and healthy! I work full-time, 4 days/week with 1 off day during the week. My evenings and weekends are pretty flexible and I’m willing to work with whatever accommodations that may be required of me. Due to the lack of roaming space in my apartment, I don’t usually host pets in my home plus I have my own pup to tend to! 😌
About: I’ve grown up around cats and dogs all my life. I now have three cats of my own who live a very loving, lavish lifestyle. Your animals will receive the same care my animals do! I currently work in medical device sales at Grandview medical. My schedule can be unpredictable at times, but I often have a ton of downtime. Plenty of time for a dog walk, a check in on a cat or dog, or plenty of time to come home and give any animal attention staying at my own place! My three cats get wet food 3 times a day as well as dry food as they prefer it. They have set food schedules that I follows everyday. I know cats are very susceptible to dehydration, and I’m very conscious of this. I change water daily, clean food bowls daily, give each cat probiotics to help keep their guts healthy, and add extra water to their food. I take my cats yearly to the vet, as well as took one of my young cats to a specialist and paid whatever means necessary to make sure he was okay. I now give that cat of mine meds weekly, so I am familiar with having to give meds to pets. My cats are left with animal noises on the tv daily, plenty of toys, plenty of room to run. Litter boxes are cleaned 1-2 times daily. This will be standard of care for your pets!
About: I’ve always had cats, and usually they were strays that we took in. As a teenager, I would pet sit for my neighbors frequently when they were out of town- cats and dogs! I had two dogs growing up. Now as an adult, I have 2 cats of my own, Sinclair (5yo male) and Petal (1yo female)! For most of June and July I will be free week days and weekends! Starting in August, I will be available in afternoons and on weekends. I am willing to spend time with your cats and dogs, play with them however needed, and I can take your dogs on long walks!
About: I have experience caring for dogs of all ages, from puppies to adults. I’ve had dogs of my own and regularly cared for my brother’s dogs while he was a breeder, giving me hands-on experience with puppies and adult dogs. Most of my experience is with French Bulldogs, Cane Corsos, and Boston Terriers. I’m patient, attentive, and treat every pet like my own. I am currently a full-time freshman at UAB, but my weekly schedule has consistent gaps that allow me to provide dependable and attentive care for your pets. I am experienced with maintaining pet routines and can easily accommodate drop-in visits, walks, and feedings during my regular availability: Mondays and Wednesdays from 1:30 PM to 2:30 PM and after 4:30 PM; Tuesdays and Thursdays from 10:00 AM to 12:00 PM and after 3:15 PM; Fridays from 12:15 PM to 2:15 PM and after 3:20 PM; and open availability all day on Saturdays and Sundays. I believe every pet is different, so I don’t treat every pet the same. I take the time to learn their personality, routines, and comfort level so they feel safe and cared for. I’m gentle, attentive, and respectful of each pet’s needs while making sure their environment stays clean and secure.
About: I have grown up with animals my entire life. Caring for animals has been my life long ambition. I understand the importance of trusting someone to care for your fur babies. My fiancé And I love training and exercising with them every day and they push us to be the best we can be. They bring so much joy and happiness to our life. I have 5 years experience pet sitting for friends and family as well. They are the support system that told me about this app. Work from home but it’s not very demanding. Extremely flexible schedule. Pets need routines just as much as humans do for a sense of calm and safety. To continue to keep your (our) fur baby safe I will keep trash cans covered or inside a latched cabinet. Move all chemicals to high shelves or behind secure doors. Keep cords, chargers, and other potentially harmful items out of reach.
About: I’ve been a lifelong dog lover and have lovingly cared for my own pets for many years. I understand how much our pets mean to us—they’re family. I’m dependable, attentive, and enjoy giving dogs the love, attention, exercise, and companionship they need. I’ll treat your pets with the same care and respect I would want for my own. I work a full-time job during the week, but I’m available most weekends and have some weekday afternoons available as well. I’m happy to work with your schedule whenever possible and will always communicate clearly about my availability. I’m dependable and committed to making sure your pup gets the attention and care they deserve. I understand that welcoming someone into your home to care for your pet requires a lot of trust. I’ll treat your home with the same respect and care I would want for my own. I’ll always follow your instructions, keep doors and gates secure, and make sure your pet is safe and comfortable throughout every visit. I’ll also provide updates when appropriate so you can have peace of mind knowing your pet and home are in good hands.
About: Ever since I was a kid, I would beg my neighbors to let me bathe, brush, walk, or even just play with their dogs. When I was about 16, I decided I wanted to do dog grooming. Since then, my career path has shifted into being a hairstylist, but a goal I have is to get into dog grooming in the future. I will do my very best to give your pets the best experience with me as possible! I’m currently working part time in a hair salon. but on my days off I would love to spend my free time showing your pets love and keep them safe while you’re away💞 While your pets are in my care, they will be separated from any other pets unless friendly with others. If you have any medication or other medical needs for your pet, I am able to take care of those needs!
About: I have 4 years of experience with almost every breed of dog and cat imaginable so I can provide specialty care based on your individual pets needs! For over 4 years family members and clients have trusted me to handle potty breaks, playtime, feeding time, and medication for senior care of their pets! I work part time during the week so my schedule is very flexible for potty breaks and house sitting. I have one client that I let out for potty breaks weekly in the Mountain Brook area, others are scattered availability. I can care for your pets and home by making sure they have lots of attention and playtime throughout the day. In senior pet homes I have no problems cleaning any accidents quickly and efficiently while making sure your pet isn't embarrassed. Additionally in senior pet homes I can adhere to strict medication schedules on time and with lots of positive reinforcement.

Kristine is AMAZING!!! She took such good care of our girl! Pictures and lovings and cuddles twice a day, everyday. Our Mackenzie got everything she needed and what she wanted from Kristine. Anyone would be so grateful , like I am, to have Kristine taking care of their kids.
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!

Frequently asked questions about Rover
The average cost of Dog Sitting in Hoover is $24 per visit as of November 2026. Most bookings cost between $11 and $49 per visit. On Rover, sitters set their own rates based on factors such as their experience, the length of care, the number of pets, and your pet’s specific needs. As long as your booking dates and pet profiles are accurate, the price shown before you confirm is the total, including any booking fee.
As of November 2026, there are 899 sitters on Rover offering Dog Sitting across Hoover. Enter your ZIP code to see which available sitters are closest to your home.
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.
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 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.
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.

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 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.
