“Christina was amazing with my dogs during their first house sitting experience. She was patient and attentive to their different personalities particularly my shy Teddy. She left the house so clean and tidy which was an added bonus on my return. I look forward to working with her during future away trips.”
“Ashlyn provided drop in visits for our 2 dogs while we were away. She was wonderful & took such great care of them. They warmed up to her very quickly & were in great spirits when we got home. Would highly recommend!”
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!
“Elizabeth was great! She was good with my cat Nova who can be standoffish/cranky to new people and she does more than just the bare minimum you ask of her! She was also punctual. I’d definitely use her again”
About: I’ve had dogs my whole life so I am no stranger to them! I have experience with puppies all the way up to senior dogs. I can conform to whatever your doggie needs from me! I love getting to meet new doggies and learning their personalities :) I’m currently working part-time so I have a lot of flexibility in my schedule to meet you and your dogs needs! I am available weekdays and most weekends! I enjoy learning new routines that your dog may have and I know they enjoy following them as well. I always make sure to stick to whatever is needed in their schedule.
“Truett loves Catherine! She was very responsive, timely, and loved on him during drop ins ! She came in when we lost our reoccurring sitter unexpectedly and she was flexible and quick to step in. So grateful for her! 10/10!”
“Jessica was so good with my cat Nova! She was very responsive and made sure to send me lots of pictures. She was thorough and willing to do more than what was asked of her. I would book her again!”
“Angela is so awesome!! Was very thorough with her visits and made sure to burn some energy with my active Australian Shepard. Was also very understanding when we had a change of trip plans and had to come back early. Will absolutely use again!”
“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!”
About: Ensuring the safety and well-being for fur babies since a child, from my own babies to assisting with family and friends fur babies. Let me help you keep your fur baby happy and healthy. I am a care navigator during the week and will be available for fur baby check ins and walks on weekends and weekday evening times that work for each client. I am able to keep each fur baby on the same schedule and routine provided by each individual client. The goal is to keep our precious fur babies as happy and stress free as possible :)
“Amy was great and made our kitties very happy while we were gone. She communicated with me every visit and sent multiple pics as well. Came home to clean litter boxes, fresh food and water, and 2 happy cats. Will definitely use Amy again and would highly recommend her if you need a pet sitter.”
About: I have taken care cats and dogs for over 20 years. I have experience with Senior as well young pets. I have experience giving pet medications because I have done it for my personal pets for years. I am working full time but if my schedule allows I would love to help you out. I know it’s important to keep animals in a familiar routine so let me help while you are out of town. I have 3 longhair dachshunds that love other small dog company. I have a fenced in yard but I have exercise pens that can be used at your discretion. If I come to your place I will follow your typical schedule or routine.
“Loved Tanya and would use again! My cat's food, water, and litter was all good, and she apparently even cleaned up a mess my cats had made of some bread I forgot to put away according to my neighbor/grandmother (sorry about that, by the way!)”
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.
About: I’ve been around animals my entire life and have been caring for pets since I was about 10 years old. I’ve cared for my own pets as well as the dogs and cats of family and friends, and I genuinely love getting to know every animal’s unique personality. I currently have 4 cats and 1 dog of my own, so I’m very comfortable with both dogs and cats and understand that every pet has different routines, personalities, and needs. Whether your dog needs a good walk, your cat needs some company while you’re away, or your pet simply needs someone to stop by, give them attention, and make sure everything is taken care of, I’m happy to help. My goal is simple: I want your pet to feel safe, comfortable, happy, and cared for while you’re away. Hi! I’m Cory, and animals have always been a huge part of my life. I currently have 4 cats and 2 dogs of my own, so I know firsthand how important it is to have someone you can actually trust when you can’t be there for your pets. I love spending time with animals, whether that’s going for a walk, playing with an energetic dog, giving a shy pet some time to warm up to me, or simply hanging out with them and giving them some attention and companionship. For drop-in visits, I can help with things like feeding, fresh water, bathroom breaks, walks, playtime, litter boxes, and making sure your pet is comfortable and happy. I’ll also make sure your home is left the way I found it. I currently work as a bartender Tuesday through Friday from 11 AM–6 PM, which gives me availability before and after work on those days. I’m also available throughout the rest of the week, including weekends and Mondays. Your pet’s routine matters to me. I’ll follow your instructions, respect their normal schedule, and keep you updated so you don’t have to wonder how they’re doing. I know how much I worry about my own pets when I’m away, and I want to give you that same peace of mind. I can’t promise your pet won’t end up liking me a little too much—but I’ll do my best. 🐶🐱 I love to sit and love on all the animals and play with them! I can take them on any length walk or just provide company for them
About: I’ve grown up with dogs my whole life. I recently moved to Alabama from Virginia, and I had to leave behind my four dogs. I miss them so much! I currently work part-time at Salon 43 One, but I’ve always had a soft spot for animals. I recently moved to Alabama and miss my fur babies so much, so I would love the opportunity to care for other people’s pets and get my animal fix! I can do dog walking, or drop in visits. Just provide the instructions & details and we’ll go from there! I will provide updates and picture of your fur baby too!

Dog parents share their Rover experiences - Pelham
Dana is fantastic! She stopped by to let Albus and Tom out to potty, and everything went so smoothly. Tom can be a little shy and anxious with new people, but she was so patient and gentle that he warmed right up to her. Both boys were well-cared for and happy after her visit. Highly recommend!

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.

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.

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.
