About: I will treat your dog just like he/she is my own. Your dog will have my undivided attention. We will go on long walks and play with his/her favorite toys. I have a huge backyard that is completely fenced in for them to run and explore! I am willing to bathe your dog as well. I have another job and this would be a perfect side job for me because of my love for animals. Anytime I am not selling insurance I will be available to be a care taker to your furry friend. If your dog has any appointments then I will gladly be the chauffeur. I know how scary it is to leave your child with someone, so I will GLADLY send pictures all day if you would like! I have had dogs/cats all my life and I can promise 100% satisfaction guaranteed! My goal is to provide peace of mind for you and a summer camp experience for your furry friend! Some things I will need from you: - feeding schedule - any allergies - any quirks (for example, my dog will freak out if someone he does not know tries to bathe him!) - any tell tell signs they are wanting something from me. (When my dogs start staring at me and wagging their tails I know they have to go to the bathroom.) - I have a cat room so if they do not get along with cats I can make arrangements just make sure to let me know! I want to make sure they keep their normal routines because I know how important my routine is to me and my dogs! I am the go to for my friends and family when they need someone to watch their animals which is why I decided to become a sitter on Rover! I work an 8-5 and have 2 dogs of my own! They are super friendly and love to play with other dogs. We do morning and afternoon walks (afternoon depends on the temperature of the pavement) and luckily I am able to let them out on my lunch break as well! My day revolves around my dogs so adding more furry friends to the mix sounds great to me! I have a huge fenced in yard for them and toys galore! I like to spend my time at home on the weekends other than my daily gym trip, so your baby will have my full attention! I also can bathe them so they come home fresh and clean!

“I knew from the moment I met Sarah that she was a cat lover. I’ve got five kitties and was away for thanksgiving week. She came by twice a day to take care of my babies, properly fed, watered, poopy scooped and played with them, sending several pics of each visit. My kitties felt comfortable with her and she engaged all of them, even my scaredy cat. We all like her very much! I was able to enjoy my trip with no worries about my kitties. I will definitely have her over again and I highly recommend this wonderful young lady!”

About: Hi! My name is Adrian, and I've been around dogs and cats for most of my life. I grew up helping care for large dogs and have always been the person my family relies on to feed, play with, and look after our pets. I especially love large breeds and enjoy spending time outdoors, playing, and making sure dogs get the attention and exercise they need. Every pet has their own personality, and I take the time to earn their trust so they feel comfortable and safe while you're away. I'll treat your pets with the same care and respect I'd want someone to show mine. I'm currently very flexible and have plenty of availability throughout the week for house sitting, drop-in visits, and walks. Because my schedule is open, I can dedicate plenty of attention to your pets instead of rushing between commitments. I communicate regularly, send photo updates, and always make sure owners know their pets are happy and well cared for. For everyone's safety and comfort, I currently only offer care in my client's home. My family dog is not comfortable around unfamiliar animals, so I don't provide boarding in my own home. When caring for pets in your home, I carefully follow your routines, make sure fresh water is always available, maintain feeding and bathroom schedules, provide plenty of attention and exercise, and send regular photo updates so you can relax while you're away. I also treat every home with the same respect and care that I would expect for my own. My goal is for you to come home to a happy pet and a clean home

About: I’m happy to take your furry friend on a long walk, administer medications, cuddle, and play! I’m glad to reinforce commands and learning they may be trying to establish. I have plenty of availability and flexibility to cater to your doggo! I work from home full-time and am a morning person, so I’m available bright and early for walks, drop-ins, or snuggles. My flexible schedule means your pet will get plenty of attention, care, and consistency throughout the day! While I do not currently offer services from my home, I am very considerate and cautious with my clients' homes! I will respect and ensure that I leave them better than I found them!

About: I had a dog for almost 19 years of the first 20 years of my life. She was a sister to me so I understand that pets are family. When I take care of pets, I act as though they were my own. I give them all the love and attention they might want! I am willing to play fetch on end, take them on walks, take them to a park or on a hike, feed or walk whenever needed, and any other special requirements that the pet might need. I am very flexible and understand that certain pets require certain kinds of care. I work in office most of the week so I am usually only available on the weekends. I am usually available or can be flexible with enough notice. I cannot host in my own home but treat others’ homes as a guest. I try to stay out of the way as much as I can, depending on what you prefer me to do with your pet. If outside is preferable, we will stay outside as long as the heat permits! I am respectful that play time can be disruptive within the home and do my very best to be respectful when in someone else’s home.

About: I have 2 labs that have been a member of our family for 15 years. I also volunteer at the shelby co. humane society and the birmngham zoo. I understand why most people do not board with a vet and I feel the same way. My animals always have less stress and handle the seperation from human members alot easier. your furry family members are very important an I could not agree more. The dog park is one of our fovorite places.

FAQs for Dog Sitting - Pelham

Frequently asked questions about Rover

The average cost for Dog Sitting in Pelham on Rover is $27.75 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 Dog 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 Dog Sitting. For more information on service fees, click here .

As of September 2026, there are 939 sitters on Rover offering Dog Sitting across Pelham. 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 Pelham 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.

Key handling is entirely up to you and your sitter to agree on during the Meet & Greet or in the Rover app. Most pet parents in Pelham choose to hand over a spare key or digital fob in person, while others arrange a lockbox or unique access code. Don't forget to discuss key returns as well!

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.

A Meet & Greet is a short introductory meeting between you, your dog, 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.

While Rover doesn’t offer traditional subscription services, some sitters offer recurring bookings for services like home visits and dog walking. Recurring services come with their own perks, such as flexibility to modify services (up to five weeks in advance), automatic billing, Rover Card updates, and same-day cancellations.

To find sitters in Pelham with recurring or weekly availability, select "Repeat Weekly" and which days you’d like them to care for your pet.

Yes, you can find sitters who have experience with handling special pet needs in Pelham. On Rover:

  • 96% of sitters can help with special care needs
  • 98% 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.

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.
