About: Growing up we always had multiple pets so I’ve taken care of them my entire life. My senior dog passed a couple years ago, so I have experience with older pets as well. I have lots of patience! I work from home, so my schedule is pretty flexible. I travel a lot, so as long as I have notice I can usually accommodate you! I live in an apartment complex with a fenced in doggy park as well as easy access to walking trails. My apartment also has a camera in the living room so I can check in when I’m not at home. I enjoy being outside and taking long walks, just as much as I like to sit around and lounge!

About: Every pet deserves to feel safe, loved, and comfortable while their owner is away. I’ll treat your furry family member like my own with plenty of affection, playtime, attention, and care tailored to their individual needs. I understand how important communication is, so you can expect regular updates and photos for peace of mind! I currently work full-time at the hospital and am still on orientation, so my schedule is not quite set in stone yet. Because of that, I carefully manage my availability and only accept bookings that I know I can fully commit to and give your pet the attention they deserve. When I’m available, I love incorporating pet care into my routine! I especially enjoy going on walks, which are not only beneficial for your furry, four-legged friend but for me as well. It’s the perfect opportunity to get some fresh air, enjoy a little “walk and talk,” and take a relaxing stroll to the pond and back. 🐾💛 I currently do not offer pet boarding or pet sitting in my home\. I’m primarily interested in providing dog walking services when my schedule allows\.

“Charmaine was amazing! She eased all the nerves I had about leaving my pup for a long workday. She was available short notice and was able to come meet him before which helped so much. She took such care to take notes and asked all the questions and answers all mine. She updated me during her visit and she was very respectful and easy to work with!”

About: I’ve taken care of animals for as long as I can remember! I was #1 dog sitter for about 5-6 neighbors through high school and college. I’ve taken care of many other dogs and cats as well. As a current medical student, I wish I could have my own dog but the time and finances won’t allow until I graduate. So for now, I can help take care of your pets and you can help me get my snuggle fix in! As a medical student, my schedule is often changing. I do have most evenings and weekends free for studying and I could always use a study partner or walk break! School is priority - but I will do my best to work with your schedule as well as my class schedule! I do currently live in an apartment, so boarding pets in my home is not a great option. I’ve stayed at very many homes to care for pets. Your pets health and safety will be my main concern - and I will always respect your home as well!

About: I’ve been a lifelong dog lover and have years of hands-on experience caring for dogs of different breeds, sizes, and personalities. I grew up with my own dogs, including a German Shepherd named Brownie and a Pitbull named Peanut, who both lived long, happy lives to 12 years old. Taking care of them taught me the importance of patience, routine, exercise, and lots of love. In addition to caring for my own pets, I have experience dog sitting for multiple dogs at once. I’ve cared for up to six dogs at the same time, managing different breeds, energy levels, and needs while making sure each dog gets attention, supervision, and proper care. I understand how important it is to trust someone with your pet, so I focus on keeping dogs safe, comfortable, and happy while their owners are away. Whether it’s walks, playtime, feeding, or just keeping them company, I treat every dog like they’re part of my family. Please Note: I Travel With My Children If you are interested in Housesits. Pet care fits naturally into my daily routine because I genuinely enjoy being around dogs and staying active. I work from home with a flexible schedule, which allows me to plan my day around walks, feeding times, playtime, and check-ins. This flexibility helps me give pets consistent attention and make sure they stay on their normal routine. Whether it’s daily walks or overnight sitting, I focus on keeping dogs safe, comfortable, and well cared for while their owners are away. When caring for pets, I focus on keeping them comfortable by following their normal routine as closely as possible. In a client’s home, I make sure pets are fed on schedule, have fresh water, get plenty of exercise through walks and playtime, and receive lots of attention so they feel safe while their owner is away. I also keep the home tidy and respect the pet’s space and habits. For walks and drop-ins, I make sure dogs get safe, enjoyable exercise while paying attention to their energy level, behavior, and surroundings. I always prioritize safety, including secure leashes, awareness of other animals, and making sure pets return home happy and relaxed. I treat every pet like they’re my own and aim to create a calm, caring environment where they feel comfortable and well looked after.

About: My experience with dogs is not as extensive as my cat experience however I learned a lot in owning a dog for a little while. I do not currently have a job so my schedule is fairly open. Once I am employed full time my availability will only be afternoons and weekends. I can easily crate a dog. I can take your fur baby on walks and spend time with them inside your home. For cats I will make sure to feed them, and play with them if they are willing.

Frequently asked questions about Rover

The average cost of Dog Walking in Hoover is $31 per walk as of October 2026. Most bookings cost between $13 and $42 per walk. On Rover, walkers 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 October 2026, there are 866 sitters on Rover offering Dog Walking across Hoover. 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 Hoover. Since all dog walkers are local, they may have a neighborhood dog who is a good walking companion to yours.

For dog walking bookings, your dog walker can send a Rover Card with details about your dog’s walk. Rover Cards require at least one photo and may include , the total walk time and distance, and any pee or poop breaks recorded by the walker.

The route map lets you review where your dog was walked in Hoover after the booking. It is not live GPS tracking.

Have specific details you would like included? Message your dog walker in the app before the walk begins.

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 , 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 .

Yes, you can find walkers who have experience with handling special pet needs in Hoover. On Rover:

  • 91% of walkers can help with special care needs
  • 95% can help with giving oral medications or injections
  • 97% 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 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 walker 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 walker 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 walker for longer stays or first-time bookings. Read our tips for your first .

walkers on Rover set their own , 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 walker.
