About: I have grown up with dogs for my entire life and I now have a cat of my own. I have taken care of friends and families animals in the past and I am very reliable, caring, and friendly. Animals bring me so much joy and I treat any animal as if it were my own. I am working in a salon four days out of the week but I will be available in the mornings and the evenings of any day to provide attention to your pet. Given that I have a cat of my own, I know how angry and hurt I would be if I put her in the care of someone else and she was neglected. With that being said, you can trust that I will not put you in that position! Animals are innocent and unable to communicate their needs. Not only will I provide the essentials, I will go above and beyond to make sure your pet is happy and comfortable!
“Mary demonstrated absolute resilience in providing care for Nyla, a pet requiring SIGNIFICANT attention, successfully navigating challenges through extremely innovative approaches. We absolutely appreciate Mary never giving up and insisting on making it work! Thank you so much, Mary!”
“It was my first time using their drop-in service for my cat, and everything went perfectly. Jennifer was very reliable, communicative, and always went the extra mile for my cat. I will definitely seek their help again!”
“Katherine was so helpful and considerate to Trixie Cat, letting her out on the porch and giving her lots of pets :) it was such a relief to know that she was there for me and gave me reports during each visit. Next time I go out of town I will be sure to schedule Katherine again, and recommend her to my friends with pets”
“Marypaige took wonderful care of our little zoo! They were in great hands while we were out of town, and she was very communicative, leaving comments and photos after visits. We would absolutely use Marypaige again!”
“Isabella is hands down the best pet sitter I’ve had the privilege of hiring. She was very flexible with my last minute needs, her communication is top tier, and If there was ever a problem (my fault) she was good at letting me know. My puppy is a big fan of her per the daily photos I received. She has won me over as a repeat client and I look forward to taking another trip without the stress of worrying about my puppy’s needs. Thank you again, Isabella! (:”
“Keslie was so easy to work with and wonderful with our dog! We hired her to drop-in/walk/play with our dog four times when we were out of town and she was prompt, spent extra time, and sent the best pictures. I would love to continue using her!”
“I've worked as a sitter, but never been a client before! April was wonderful with my cats, and was great at following my hectic instructions last minute for my trip.”
“Megan was wonderful! She stayed in communication with us and kept us up to date on everything. She loved our babies like her own! Def recommend! She’s became a new F•R•I•E•N•D for us :)”
“Savannah is an outstanding sitter! She takes initiative to problem solve any scenario (cat tipping over automatic feeder or kitties still in introduction phase). She is caring, and is kittie leash knowledgeable! My boys are even getting along better now. Savannah will be my go to sitter in the future for sure.”
About: My family and I grew up with 3 dogs of our own. I also foster dogs from local shelters and have hands on experience with everything from playful puppies to sweet seniors. I understand how important it is to have someone you trust with your pet, and I’m here to help with calm, dependable care. I’m currently a student at the University of Alabama with a light class load, just about 2 hours a day. This gives me plenty of flexibility to dedicate time to pet care, whether it’s walks, dropins, or extended stays. Being from Birmingham, I’m familiar with the area and love spending time with pets when I’m not in class Whether I’m caring for pets in my home or yours, their safety and comfort always come first. I follow any routines or instructions you provide and take time to get to know each pet’s personality and needs. I keep a calm, clean environment and never leave pets unattended during visits. You can count on me to treat your pets like my own with patience, attention, and respect.
“She took amazing care of my dog Maverick during drop-in visits. Showed up right on time, sent photos and detailed updates every visit, and you could tell Maverick warmed up to her quickly. It’s such a relief knowing he’s in good hands while we’re away. Will definitely be booking again!”
About: I have many years of experience with dogs and other pets of all kinds. I was a sitter for many local families and their pets were always taken care of and loved. I understand how important it is for pets to feel safe and comfortable while their owners are away, and I always treat every animal like my own. I am a college student completing my work online. I am home full time spend most of my dog spending time with my dog polar. I have a quiet house for dogs who prefer a more peaceful environment but I also have a fenced in park area where I sometimes spend the day at for more high energy pets. The environment is very safe and your pets will be watched and safe at all time.
About: Dog lover! I’ve been caring for dogs for about 3 years and it’s been very rewarding. I’m very friendly and caring, I love to cuddle and show affection towards all animals. I like parks and being outiside so your dog will have a lot of outdoor fun. I love the company dogs provide after a long day. I’m very careful and cautious when it comes to dog/human interactions. I am very aware that people can be afraid of dogs so I try to make sure that your pet will be in a dog friendly environment. I enjoy what I do and I plan to exceed your expectations when it comes to caring for your pet. I cannot wait to start loving and bonding with your dog. I work full time but have a flexible schedule. Usually home by 4pm. If your pet is at my home I like to stop by between 12pm-2pm for walks, potty break, and cuddles. I also have security to ensure safety while away. I live in a quiet community with plenty of yard space and sidewalks. If I am at your home I will make sure to follow all of you instructions thoroughly and leave it nice and clean.
About: I am a senior in college who has had pets since I was born! I have/had dogs, cats, and even a bird growing up! I have experience in taking care of friends and neighbors pets with services such as walking, feeding, bathing, and playing with them! I am a full time student at The University of Alabama, I have time around classes to take care of pets including mornings, evenings, and nights. I am available weekdays and weekends. I currently live in an apartment so I cannot board pets at my home, however I am happy to do checkups, walks, or housesit for you!
About: Hello it’s so nice to meet you and your fur babies! My name is Taylor and I moved to the Orlando area last year so I’m still learning my way around. I live with my husband and our two huskies, Sarge & Elsa- both rescues! I am 26 years old and this is currently my full-time job as I wait to get back into school to get my masters! I became a sitter on Rover back in our hometown in 2018. I have met so many dogs and cats and also their humans and it’s truly been so rewarding. I am a animal lover. I give my complete gratitude to my dog Kimba, who passed away in June 2020, for being the reason I am so passionate about dogs. Granted even when I was little I hung out with my neighbors golden retriever every single day after school for probably 3 years- I swore that dog was my best friend lol. Kimba and I had such a special bond and the love I had for her and she had for me really meant the world to me. It opened my eyes to how absolutely priceless and amazing it is to be loved by a dog. To me, they are part of the family. I can assure you that while your babies are my care, they will be treated as just that- a part of the family! I will love on them, care for them and make it my top priority to make them feel happy & relaxed while you’re away! I am currently booking for: 1) WALKS 2) DROP-INS 3) HOUSE SITTING Walks & drop-ins work best for me right now. We just rescued Elsa, a 3 year old husky, and we are dealing with some separation anxiety and house training issues and so we are patiently and efficiently handling those which means I can’t be away from the house ALL day. For drop-ins & walks I will come by your house however many times a day you need me to- 30-60 minutes at a time and feed them, play with them, walk them, whatever you’d need me to do! I will do this up to 3x a day. ** Due to gas prices being higher, if your location is 20 or minutes away, I will only do 60 minute walks/drop-ins. This makes the travel and time more manageable. (Traffic jams/accidents/rush hour are not factors in this. I understand those things can not be predicted). This is based solely on GPS and what the drive time is in general. I am sorry if this is an inconvenience for anybody, but with so many clients booking, the travel adds up time and money for gas on my end! As for HOUSE SITTING- I have two versions: 1) Lengthy visits throughout the day that require me to be there for several hours at a time OR more than 4 hours of drop-ins/walks. I do not stay the night, but spend a lot of time during the day starting at whatever time in the morning you’d need me to be there by! This option works out great for me since as stated above, I have a dog that requires special training and being gone all night can sometimes be tricky depending on what my husbands work schedule looks like for that scheduled time! & 2) house sitting but I stay the night. This means I will check-in and walk your dog periodically throughout the day & stay in your home at night with your pets! However, I do want to also mention here, I will have to spend some time away during the day to take care of my own dogs, but can be back and forth for several hours at each place- yours & mine! We can work out the best times and a schedule for me to leave to work around your dogs normal routine, no problem at all! REPEAT CLIENTS OR CLIENTS THAT HAVE USED ME IN THE PAST- read through some of the above information as some things have changed (like time I can spend in your home with house sitting!) if you’ve used me in the past, reach out to me before booking- and I will adjust and work with you- BECAUSE IN THE END IT IS BECAUSE OF YOU THAT MY ROVER BUSINESS HAS SEEN GROWTH AND SUCCESS! and I am so grateful! I am always looking for long-term clients! It helps both parties - you & me, by having a schedule and knowing what days you’ll need care whether that be daily because you work long hours and need someone to let your puppy out during the day or for someone who travels a lot for work or play and knowing you have someone reliable to always contact to watch your fur baby! If you chooose to be a long-term client, I do recommend trying to book me out 4-3 weeks out from when you’ll need me, so I can be sure to be available for you! I try to give my repeat clients and long-term clients, first come first serve! PUPPY RATES: I charge a puppy rate for any dog under the age of 1 year - that’s how Rover distinguishes a puppy. I charge a higher rate for pups considering they are usually much more work! HOWEVER, exceptions can be made. Talk with me and we will see. Some pups at 6 months old are already so well trained and house broken, while others may still be figuring it out- each dog is different so I will definitely work with you on this! Rover is currently my only job, so that means I have ALL the time in the world to love on and spoil your pups :) I take care of pets by doing exactly what the owners need from me. From daily walks, to sticking to a routine, keeping an eye on them while they are playing. I’m very attentive.

Savannah is an outstanding sitter! She takes initiative to problem solve any scenario (cat tipping over automatic feeder or kitties still in introduction phase). She is caring, and is kittie leash knowledgeable! My boys are even getting along better now. Savannah will be my go to sitter in the future for sure.
Katherine was so helpful and considerate to Trixie Cat, letting her out on the porch and giving her lots of pets :) it was such a relief to know that she was there for me and gave me reports during each visit. Next time I go out of town I will be sure to schedule Katherine again, and recommend her to my friends with pets
I can’t say enough good things about Jennifer! She goes above and beyond, and even adding a last minute pet due to a boarding issue wasn’t a problem for her. She’s great at communicating and she takes great pictures. She had never met my GSD before her first visit but he took to her like an old friend. My animals were well cared for while I was away and I’m glad I found her
Mary Paige was great. We had some issues in the beginning because another person ghosted me so I was not able to introduce Millie to Mary Paige in person. Millie was a bit spooked because she did not know Mary Paige beforehand, but Mary Paige did an amazing job and I was able to finish my trip without worrying one bit. I would definitely use Mary Paige again!
Anna was very sweet and patient with our three animals. One dog was a bit hesitant the first day but Anna was incredibly patient and got the dog to love her. She stayed to play with the dogs even if it went over the 30 mins that we paid for. The pictures she sent were adorable and we will definitely use her for our next trip.
Leah did such an amazing job watching out two cats while we were out of town! She was always on time, followed our instructions perfectly, and went above and beyond to make sure our boys were well taken care of! As someone who worries about leaving my pets at home alone, Leah’s daily updates were exactly what I needed for peace of mind. I would 100% recommend her for anyone looking for a great pet sitter!

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 Northport 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.

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.
