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.
“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!!”
“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!”
“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!!!”
“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: I have taken care of numerous dogs and cats. I have taken care of dogs puppy age through senior age. I have also taken care of a dog who has seizures and I administer medication to my own dog. Typically I work part-time but I’m totally flexible and willing to adjust my schedule as needed! I don’t mind coming multiple times a day or spending the night. I’m very gentle and always make sure the animal is feeling comfortable and safe. I love being active so going on walks or playing in the backyard is great! I also don’t mind just sitting on the couch to provide some company.
“I just logged into Rover to book another walk and saw that I had never tipped you. I am so very sorry. Please let me know when you’re available to walk the dogs and I will make sure that I tip first”
About: I have always had multiple dogs in my home. My family has a love for rescuing dogs so we have taken in and fostered numerous dogs in the past. I cared for many dogs while in Tuscaloosa for college. I have since moved to Birmingham and become a NICU nurse! No matter what your baby needs, I’m here!! I am a full time nurse so my schedule varies! I typically work 3 days a week, so depending on the week I will be available different days! I love to be active and love to run around with energetic dogs as well as give love to the cuddly dogs! I base my approach based on the dogs needs, every baby is different!
“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”
“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.”
“Angela was great! She walked my dogs and communicated with me about an issue one dog was having and helped me work out a solution. I got pics of my babies walking. Highly recommended!”
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. :)
About: I love animals, I have owned various furry friends throughout my life. Cats, dogs, bunnies, fish, etc. I work with animals on a daily basis. Providing for animals is my dedication. I have worked for pet stores and handled tons of different pets with personalities all different than the last. I have a puppy of my own whom I currently training, sit, potty training, lay, and wait. She’s currently understanding sit and stay. Great progress! Dealing with animals is healing and I try to fill my weekly schedule with caring for pets. Including after hours for my current job and to also help individuals who need assistance. I always take my time to deal with animals in their own environment. It is their home and I will always respect the pet, and let parent, since it is their area of living. Cleanliness, and respect, is always #1!
About: I’ve been caring for pets for over 10 years and truly love spending time with animals. I’ve cared for dogs of all sizes and personalities, as well as cats and other household pets. Friends, family, neighbors, and clients have trusted me to walk, feed, play with, administer basic care, and provide companionship for their pets while they’re away. I also have extensive house-sitting experience and have stayed in clients’ homes for extended periods, including several months at a time, ensuring their pets stayed comfortable in their normal routine. I understand how important it is to keep pets safe, loved, and stress-free while their owners are away. I treat every pet as if they were my own and always strive to provide dependable, attentive, and compassionate care. I am currently working part time as a prn phlebotomist so my hours are very flexible. I am available almost any day (or night) of the week ! I have a big yard for lots of room to run and play. I have a car for any transportation needs as well. I have a large area inside the house to set up pet food, crates, and bedding.
About: Hi! I’m Sara, and I’ve been caring for animals since I was in high school. Over the years, I’ve had the privilege of building lasting relationships with both pets and their owners, and I’m grateful to have received wonderful references along the way. I’d love the opportunity to care for your furry family member, too! I graduated from UAB and currently work from home in digital advertising, which gives me a more flexible schedule and allows me to provide attentive, reliable care throughout the day. My husband and I live in Bluff Park with our almost one-year-old son and lab mix Libby. Working from home allows me to have a more flexible schedule throughout the weekdays. My husband also has flexible hours so one of us is always available. We live in a very safe community with plenty of walking trails. I also have a 6 year old lab mix Libby who loves to play.
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!

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!

Frequently asked questions about Rover
The average cost for Dog Walking in Hoover on Rover is $31 per walk (as of July 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 .

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.
