“Emily has been over for our pup twice now for drop in visits. She is super sweet and professional- our dog is always happy to see her and she is extremely flexible when she can be. We really do appreciate all her services- would highly recommend.”
“Mary is unbelievable. She makes our dog Milo the happiest puppy in the world and he gets so excited when she comes over. She even walked him in the rain because he’s so energetic and loves walks with Mary so much. My husband and I can’t thank her enough for all the care and attention she gives our pup like it’s her own.”
“Claire was amazing with my babies!! She cared for them while I was away like they were her own. I came home to happy babies and all thanks to Claire!! I will absolutely book with her again 😻”
“Christina was amazing! My cat, Cece, loved her. Cece normally never comes out for anyone when we are gone but she came out for Christina and got some pets and love almost every day we were gone. Clearly she was very comfortable with her and felt safe. She even went and picked up a package for me at the leasing office because it needed to be refrigerated and came earlier than expected. Will definitely be using her in the future.”
“Jordan did a great job with my girls! She followed all instructions and even got my puppy to use the bathroom so I don’t have to worry about her in her kennel! She also brought in an Amazon package and put it on the stairs for me. I will definitely book with her again.”
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\.
“Carson was absolutely amazing! Needed someone to come feed and walk my dog and feed my cat last minute during the holidays and she filled. She communicated well and would definitely rebook!”
“She was very sweet and understanding to a mishap and change of plans! She communicated quickly and effectively both when booking and when acting on services! You can tell she’s truly an animal lover and will care for your babies like her own!”
“Sara came through for a last minute kitty reservation! I have a problem pee-er and she handled it all so great! Everything was taken care of when we got back. Would use again! So reliable. Even brought in unexpected packages. Thanks!”
“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!”
“Laura took care of my senior beagle three times a day over four days. She was on time every single time, always posted photos, and offered to help beyond the time requested. It’s clear she loves pets, and she’s also a very nice person! Thank you Laura!”
“Melodie has watched our cats multiple times now over the past year or so. Top notch, highly recommended. Very attentive, great communication and able to give our senior cat his medication . They love her and we do too!”
“Amy was such a life saver!!! Our flights were canceled and couldn't make it back until the following day. She was quick to communicate with and was able to check in on our Happy boy (cat)!!!”
“Hannah did a great job taking care of my yorkie over the Thanksgiving day holidays. She really took time to get to know my pup (and her owners). I would definitely recommend Hannah to take care of your fur-babies.”

Amy is amazing. My senior dog didn’t remember who she was and was stand-offish but Amy stuck around for way longer than planned so she could try and win my girl over and build that trust. She was ultimately successful and it meant so much that she put in that effort to make sure my pup was taken care of!
Sydney was AWESOME with our kitty, Casper, while we were out of the country for a week! She sent daily pics of him and kept us updated daily about how he was doing and the things they did together. She even took out our trash for us (unprompted) which was so sweet of her. Thank you so so much Sydney!
Allison was absolutely amazing to our little Ollie. She took care of him for two weeks, and made sure to play and engage with him every day. The house was also absolutely spotless when we come home. We would highly recommend her services, and hire her again without question. Thank you so much Allison for going above and beyond!

Frequently asked questions about Rover
The average cost for Pet Sitting in Hoover on Rover is $24.42 per visit (as of September 2026). However, all sitters set their own rates based on experience, location, and availability.
Rover makes budgeting the cost of Pet Sitting 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 Pet Sitting. For more information on service fees, click here .
As of September 2026, there are 992 sitters on Rover offering Pet Sitting across Hoover. Enter your ZIP code to see which available sitters are closest to your home.
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.
If you would like updates while you’re away, you can discuss with your sitter how many or how frequent you’d like those updates to be. The Rover app allows sitters to send photos, videos, and messages about your pet, including how many pee or poop breaks occurred. You can message your sitter at any time through the app and our support team is available 24/7 by email or chat if you have concerns.
The personalized, in-home nature of pet care through Rover can mean more individual attention for your pet.
Many pet parents provide a spare key or arrange a lockbox. You can also exchange keys during the Meet & Greet and show your walker how to use digital fobs or personalized codes. It helps to arrange access to your home, from spare keys to concierge introductions, before pet care begins.
If you live in an apartment or condo, don’t forget to discuss details like buzzer access, codes, or elevator etiquette. These details can help a pet sitter feel more comfortable going in and out of your building.
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 .
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.
Yes, you can find sitters who have experience with handling special pet needs in Hoover. On Rover:
- 96% of sitters can help with special care needs
- 96% can help with giving oral medications or injections
- 100% 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 pet, 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.
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.
