“Mary is so amazing! She has been walking my pup every day for 2 weeks now and he adores her. Before her first day, she came over to meet both of us to make sure my pup was comfortable and also made sure to check where all of his things were. I’m so happy to have her walking him every week!”
“Riley is a wonderful dog walker/sitter (and dog photographer)! I could tell through the many photos and when we got home that our dog was comfortable and happy throughout the day (:”

About: What sets me apart is that I am patient, dependable, and truly enjoy caring for animals. I understand that every dog has their own personality and needs. I am comfortable providing walks, playtime, feeding, companionship, and plenty of attention. I will treat every pet with the same love, patience, and care that I would give my own. Pet care fits easily into my daily routine because I enjoy making time for animals. I can provide regular walks, playtime, feeding, potty breaks, and plenty of attention throughout the day. I am dependable with schedules and will make sure each pet receives consistent, loving care while they are with me. I care for my dogs by making sure they receive plenty of love, attention, exercise, and fun. I enjoy taking them out to play, going on car rides, and treating them to an occasional pup cup. When caring for someone else's pet, I would treat them like my own while following their normal routine, feeding schedule, walking needs, and any special instructions provided by their owner.
“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!”
“Kristine checks in on my dog weekly. She is so kind and patient with him, especially when he was nervous at first. I know my dog is in good hands with Kristine and I don’t have to worry about my dog on my long work days.”
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!
“Highly recommend Jamie. She stepped in while I was recovering from knee surgery and walked Pippa every day. She is dependable, on time, friendly and communicates well. Pippa was always excited to see Jamie when she came.”
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\.
About: I had 3 cocker spaniels as a kid, separately, loved them, they loved me. Did everything together. Would love more time with dogs.

There’s community property where pets do their business, we’re required to pick up poop. All dogs are leashed to avoid issues. Leashing required in Hoover.

About: I was trained how to train dogs at an early age after our first dog was trained by our breeder. Since then I trained 2 golden retrievers and an Australian Cattle dog (red heeler). Both breeds are strong willed and have high energy. I work from home and so have a lot of freedom to break away to take care of dogs. I enjoy taking care of dogs and sharing the knowledge from my experience of training and raising dogs. I have a large beautiful fenced yard, have multiple crates for use and live within walking distance of a dog park. I have kids that will make sure your dog gets lots of love while being boarded.
About: I’ve had dogs my whole life. I volunteered at an animal shelter when I was 14. I walked dogs, cleaned cat cages, and socialized cats. I’ve walked dogs and dog sat for neighbors and family friends in the past. I currently go to college and have classes two days a week. However, I have a pretty flexible schedule and would be able to walk or check on animals in between classes as well! I love giving animals attention. I’m comfortable with all size and energy dogs, I had a chocolate lab who LOVED to play. I would also be happy to help teach dogs basic commands!

Kennedy is amazing with Brownie! She is very thorough in caring for him and makes sure his walks are as comfortable as possible. She also gives great updates so I’m consistently in the loop with how things went. I would love for her to walk Brownie more in the future!

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.

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 Meet & Greet .
walkers 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 walker.
