About: I have been dogsitting & catsitting for several years now. I am looking to for more opportunities to do so. I am excited to take care of your pet while you are away! I work full time but I have a flexible schedule. I am able to sit for your pet any day of the week and able to check on them throughout the day. I will primarily be dogsitting or cat sitting at my client’s home rather than bringing a pet back to my home. I think it would be best for the pet to be in their home environment.
About: We have a dog park where your fur babies can experience the time of their lives. Also walks around the neighborhood 💕💕💕💕💕. Nice community here! I am and independent contractor, and basically has plenty of time on my hands: I will go the extra mile to make sure everything is okay I devote so much time with other peoples dogs it’s insane. lol but I love it , and wouldn’t have it any other way !
“Our vacation would not have been the same without Angela. I knew Buster was being so well cared for. She was always there within the time we discussed and sent so many photos. I looked forward to them everyday. I would highly recommend Angela! I know we will be using her services again.”
“Kate was absolutely wonderful while caring for my cat during my time away. She administered medications, cleaned up unexpected messes, and made sure everything was taken care of with patience and attention. What I appreciated most was her communication. She provided detailed updates, photos, and messages throughout my trip, which gave me tremendous peace of mind. It was clear that she genuinely cared and treated my pet as if they were her own. I truly appreciated Kate's reliability, professionalism, and compassion. I would not hesitate to book with her again and highly recommend her to anyone looking for a trustworthy and caring pet sitter!”
About: I have taken care of dogs in my house cor the last 10 years, and have always looked after / walked my neighbor’s pets and houses anytime they have gone out of town! Pet care fits seamlessly into my flexible schedule due to the fact that I am a student at Samford University. I am in class for a maximum of 4 hours in a day, and love getting to go meet pets and spend time with them while still missing my sweet doggies back home! Obviously always making sure they have been walked, fed, and have plenty water. Pets keep a household running, and taking care of them is such a joy and just brighten my day I would do anything they need.
“Truett loves Catherine! She was very responsive, timely, and loved on him during drop ins ! She came in when we lost our reoccurring sitter unexpectedly and she was flexible and quick to step in. So grateful for her! 10/10!”
“Ruby did a great job caring for our cat while we were out of town. She is professional and kind, and treated him with the utmost sweetness and care. This was my first time going on a trip since having a cat and I was very nervous about how he would fare while we were gone. Thanks to Ruby, I had peace of mind after each check-in in which she sent lots of pictures and gave me a detailed description of how he was doing. She did everything just the way I asked her to, and went above and beyond as well. This was the best possible cat sitting experience I could have hoped for!”
About: I have had experience with dogs of every kind since I was born. I have cared for dogs of all ages between eight weeks and eighteen years old. My family had no less than four dogs and two cats when I was growing up. I got to care for large golden labs and for elderly yorkies and I love them all! I have extensive experience with all kinds of dogs, and I would love the opportunity to love on your pet. I am a college student here in Birmingham and my schedule is flexible! I can easily customize my availability and accommodate my clients as needed. Due to dorm living I am unable to have pets in my home. Due to dorm living I am unable to have pets in my home.
About: I have been taking care of peoples pets since I was 12 years old. Love all kinds of pets and would love to be your go-to pet sitter! I work full time, but have time in the morning early afternoons or evenings to let your animal out for a break! Also have lots of time on the weekends. I will follow all of your suggestions and/or instructions and make sure that I provide the care that your pet needs. Your pets will get the attention and services they need!
“We needed a last minute check in on our pup this Saturday, and Jessica was quick to respond and accept. She has stayed multiple overnight visits in our home to care for our dog. We appreciate her genuine care and affection she always shows our pup. Thank you, Jessica. We appreciate YOU!!!”
“Kristen absolutely went above and beyond to make sure our dog was taken care of while we were away! I could tell from the pictures that he was in good spirits, and she was very communicative about how he was doing. Thank you Kristen!”
“Kaitlyn is not only timely but she’s communicative, kind, and just has such a genuine love for animals! She has been checking in on my two foster puppies and it has truly been such a relief for me! Couldn’t recommend her more ❤️”
“Amazing! Chandler took such great care of our pups while we were home. She communicated very well and dealt with all the hiccups our pups gave her during that time. I would highly recommend Chandler and will use her again the future if she’ll have us.”
About: I honestly enjoy dogs and cats more than most people, sorry not sorry 😆. There’s just something about the trusting love of an animal that brings joy to life/my world. I’ve been a dog owner for over 15 years, first to my sweet Charlie - no longer with us; and now to our foster fail Maya. Charlie was a border collie who never ran out of energy. Like, ever 😆. Maya is a more settled gal, but she still loves a good walk/hike as long as a nap comes afterwards. I’ve also been a cat mom, and cat foster mom for over 20 years. Our Sophie & Evie keep us on our toes requesting frequent snuggles, play time, treats, and nap time in our laps 💜🐾 If it’s not already evident, I firmly believe: pets are family, and pets have rights to autonomy/boundaries with people and other animals. I fully expect pet owners to have the same standards of care for selecting someone to help with their pet as I believe they’d use to choose a babysitter for their human kiddos. I happily respect and help maintain people’s rules for their pets (but all y’all that say they can’t get on the couch need an intervention 🙃😉 I’m just saying). Let’s chat about how to help your pets live their best lives when you can’t be with them - whether that’s walks, stop in visits, boarding in my home or other care needs. I work from home and have a fair amount of flexibility in my schedule. I’m able to do drop in visits to feed, administer meds, let dogs out, attend to cat boxes etc. and during my visits I will also provide a bit of attention and interaction for your pets if they desire it - I’m not just a run in and run back out sitter ☺️ I provide in home boarding and doggy day care at my home, where they have access to our fully fenced backyard for potty visits and playtime (weather safety dependent). I will probably only offer cat care visits to your home, as I have our 2 girls here full time as well as often having a foster kitten/cat or 2. I will be happy to cater a care plan that best suits your requirements and your cat’s needs.
About: I love just animals! Growing up we always had pets ranging from turtles, cats, fish, dogs, birds and horses. Animals have always been part of my life, and I've learned so much from them. I had a beloved mini-dachshund for six years and was always a bit of a worry wort when someone watched my pup. I wanted to know she was always safe, happy and well-cared for. So, after being a reliable dog-sitter for a fellow teacher for several years I realized providing a service like this would allow me to reconnect with animals while earning extra money and also serving families with excellent care for their furry family members. I love walking, playing and snuggling with dogs, cats and just about any critter of all sizes and ages, and I would love to make your pet be as safe, happy and well-cared for as I expected mine to be. I work as a full time teacher so during the school year I would serve best as a weekend sitter. However, I am available during the week as well for most holidays and most of the summer. I have a one bedroom apartment which helps me to know where and what your pet is doing almost all of the time. I live in an area that has lots of nature intact and is very dog friendly. There are two dog friendly “tennis courts” available to allow young and high energy dogs run off leash to catch a ball, frisbee or stick or play with other dog friendly pups. For house sitting stays, I am flexible and can accommodate most anyone’s unique set up and pet needs. One thing to note is that I am currently in the process of adopting my six year old niece who would accompany me for house sitting.

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!

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 .

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.
