About: I have been a rabbit mom for the past decade. My kids have since left for college and I’m looking for something to fill my time. I work from home with a flexible schedule so I am available to check on animals through out the work day on week days and weekends. Because I have my own rabbits, I will not be bringing pets into my home. Instead, I intend to check in on animals in their own space, leaving their routine undisturbed.
“Mary is great! She has been walking my dog Mac twice a week for a couple of months now. She is extremely dependable, great with communication, and wonderful with Mac. I highly recommend Mary for your dog-walking and drop-in visit needs!”
“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 (:”
“Christina is the best petsitter. My experience with her for the past 4 months have been amazing. I was never worried about my dog and she took care of Kai so well. 1000% recommended”
About: I’ve taken care of dogs since I was eight years old. 14 years later, I am still doing just that, except this time to support myself in college. I also have 2+ years of experience with Wag! and have walked over 70 dogs. I walk dogs every other day and play with them in my school’s lawn. As long as I’m done with my school assignments, I’m happy to play with your pup! I will always keep the dog on the leash unless otherwise indicated. I take extra caution to see that they don’t eat anything off the street.
“Courtney was great with my furbaby. She was timely, professional, kind, dependable, and took good care of my baby on his walks. We look forward to working with her again soon. Great job!!!”
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.
“I’m late leaving a review but this lady deserves getting a STELLAR review!! Please, please select her. Not only is she great with dogs, she comes prepared & is totally committed to the love and care for your dog. Best of all if she can’t make a walk she has her own back up!!! You don’t have to scramble to find one for a random day (which isn’t easy). If Hilda and Django were still living in my home, I would still be using her services.”
About: I’m 39 years old and there has been a pet in my life since I was 7. I’m an only child and my pets quickly became like siblings (we didn’t fight like them, promise). I became the primary caregiver for my mom’s two senior mini dachshunds a few years ago and was able to get them crate and pee-pad trained. One of them crossed the rainbow bridge sadly, but my other little old lady is doing well. I fall in love with every animal I see and I would love the chance to fall in love with yours. I’m currently working a full time second shift job (1pm-11pm) so I have the mornings completely open to check on your babies. I’m also a night owl and have no problem doing a nighttime check after work or begin an overnight stay. If you have a fenced yard, I will let them outside and let them do their business before tossing a ball or toy or running around with them to get the zoomies out. If no yard, then I will take them out on a leash for a walk then some playtime inside. Food and water will be checked and refilled; cuddles will be provided at will. :)
“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: 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 animals since I was ten. I have lots of friends who work high-travel jobs, so I have years of experience taking care of their pets while they are away. I love animals and I love giving their humans the peace of mind that their best friend is safe while they are away. I'm currently working part time, so I have a lot of flexibility when it comes to scheduling. I work M/W afternoons and Sunday mornings, but otherwise I'm available during the morning, afternoon, and evening. I sometimes substitute teach as well, so more notice is always better in terms of scheduling your pet's care. I cannot keep animals in my home at this time, but I am happy to maintain a clean, happy, and healthy environment for your pet in your home. I can offer regular walks, potty breaks, and playtimes to keep your best friend from getting lonely while you are away.
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!
About: I had 3 cocker spaniels as a kid, separately, loved them, they loved me. Did everything together. Would love more time with dogs. Cats, too I work 5 evenings a week from 5pm-10, (shorter that overnight sleep), off Monday and Thursday. It has worked out great for both sides. Just a mile from home. 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 have been taking care of animals my whole life as a child growing up we always had dogs and as an adult I have always had cats. I have experience with giving sub q fluids to animals with kidney problems and I am a volunteer with Bama Bully Rescue and a foster for Colony Cats of Metro Birmingham. I love animals and always provide the same level of care and love to others pets as I would to my own. I can provide excellent references and am ready to meet your pets. You can also check me out on FB at Most Creatures Great & Small. I am currently a care provider for my elderly parents and doing nothing else besides that and pet sitting so I have plenty of time to dedicate to your pets and a very flexible schedule as well. My cats are fully indoor only, but in your own home I am fully qualified to work with whatever system you have and feel most comfortable with. Whether its daily pop ins to feed, water and walk or if you prefer someone to stay in your home with your pets.
About: I have diverse experience in animal care from my own pets, to neighbors and family members’ furry friends, and even professionally with wildlife. I am excited and honored to care for your family, both human and animal. I work sporting events freelance and am looking to add a little work on the side. I am free almost every weekday and most weekends. I do have an apartment most suitable for smaller dogs, however I have access to ample green space and neighborhoods to walk and play in. In your home, I will respect your space while keeping your furry friend in an environment they know.

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!
Brooke took us last min and was great with our Piper. We are moving out of state so we won’t be able to use her again.. but I encourage others to use her. She was great! Very caring and attentive! I know Piper enjoyed having her walk and spend time with her.. definitely recommend!!

Frequently asked questions about Rover
The average cost for Dog Walking in Hoover on Rover is $31 per walk (as of September 2026). However, all sitters set their own rates based on experience, location, and availability.
Rover makes budgeting the cost of Dog Walking easy. As long as your dates and pet profiles are correct, the price you see before you book is the same price you pay for Dog Walking. For more information on service fees, click here .
As of September 2026, there are 912 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 services, you can request a report card update with specifics about your dog’s walk. Report cards require photos and can include a map of the walking route , total walk time, poop and pee breaks, and distance traveled, so you know exactly where your dog has been walking in Hoover.

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.
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 Rover's Trust & Safety page .
Yes, you can find walkers who have experience with handling special pet needs in Hoover. On Rover:
- 94% of walkers can help with special care needs
- 96% can help with giving oral medications or injections
- 98% 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 short introductory meeting between you, your dog, and a walker. It can take place in person or virtually, although we recommend in-person so that your pet can get to know your walker 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. Most pet parents and walkers 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.
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 walker.
