“Third time I have worked with Devin. As always, very responsive and responsible. Took care of my cats very well and kept me updated with notices going on in my apartment complex. Would highly recommend to anyone.”
About: I have taken care of dogs in my house cor the last 10 years, and have always looked after / walked my neighbor’s pets and houses anytime they have gone out of town! Pet care fits seamlessly into my flexible schedule due to the fact that I am a student at Samford University. I am in class for a maximum of 4 hours in a day, and love getting to go meet pets and spend time with them while still missing my sweet doggies back home! Obviously always making sure they have been walked, fed, and have plenty water. Pets keep a household running, and taking care of them is such a joy and just brighten my day I would do anything they need.
“Piper was wonderful! You can tell she truly loves animals and your pets will be well taken care of. She sent us numerous pictures during her drop in visits and I could tell our pups were having a blast with her!”
“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!”
“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.”
“Sarah provided wonderful attention to detail, especially with older dogs with medical needs. We appreciated her questions, daily reports, and overall communication. 10/10 would recommend!”
“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!”
About: Neighbors, friends, and family have relied on me to feed, walk, and entertain their pets for several years. I’ve loved animals for as long as I can remember! I’m a graduate student at UAB and my schedule has the opportunity to be flexible, so I am available for early mornings, late afternoon, and evening walks and check-ins during the week. On the weekends, I have full availability for whatever you and your pet need! I treat every pet like it’s my own- I shower them with love and affection, give lots of treats, and can play all day, regardless of your pet’s age, personality, or activity level.
About: I honestly enjoy dogs and cats more than most people, sorry not sorry 😆. There’s just something about the trusting love of an animal that brings joy to life/my world. I’ve been a dog owner for over 15 years, first to my sweet Charlie - no longer with us; and now to our foster fail Maya. Charlie was a border collie who never ran out of energy. Like, ever 😆. Maya is a more settled gal, but she still loves a good walk/hike as long as a nap comes afterwards. I’ve also been a cat mom, and cat foster mom for over 20 years. Our Sophie & Evie keep us on our toes requesting frequent snuggles, play time, treats, and nap time in our laps 💜🐾 If it’s not already evident, I firmly believe: pets are family, and pets have rights to autonomy/boundaries with people and other animals. I fully expect pet owners to have the same standards of care for selecting someone to help with their pet as I believe they’d use to choose a babysitter for their human kiddos. I happily respect and help maintain people’s rules for their pets (but all y’all that say they can’t get on the couch need an intervention 🙃😉 I’m just saying). Let’s chat about how to help your pets live their best lives when you can’t be with them - whether that’s walks, stop in visits, boarding in my home or other care needs. I work from home and have a fair amount of flexibility in my schedule. I’m able to do drop in visits to feed, administer meds, let dogs out, attend to cat boxes etc. and during my visits I will also provide a bit of attention and interaction for your pets if they desire it - I’m not just a run in and run back out sitter ☺️ I provide in home boarding and doggy day care at my home, where they have access to our fully fenced backyard for potty visits and playtime (weather safety dependent). I will probably only offer cat care visits to your home, as I have our 2 girls here full time as well as often having a foster kitten/cat or 2. I will be happy to cater a care plan that best suits your requirements and your cat’s needs.
“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!”
About: I walk my dog twice a day, take him to socialize with other dogs, and give plenty of open window car rides. I’ve trained him when he was young and I have also taken care of a wide range of animals of other ages from the animal clinic that I shadow at. I’m aware of animal social cues and am plentiful in patience with all furry friends! I am a full time student, so my schedules do vary from each semester. As of right now, Mondays and Wednesdays, I am free after 3 pm. On Fridays, I am free after 12 pm. On Tuesdays and Thursdays, I am free after 5 pm. These two specific days would be better for home drop-ins and late afternoon dog walks! With my dog at home, I always keep him in my sight not only for his sake but for my own comfort. I just love being around animals all the time. Whether I am doing school work or chores, I always keep them included.
About: Hi there! My name is Mare and I am currently in graduate school looking to fill up some of my extra free time! I grew up with dogs, and was lucky enough to find roommates in Denver with dogs as well:) I love the outdoors, so hanging out with the pups is pretty much second-nature when we get to play outside. I work in healthcare so I have foundational knowledge for first-aid—although I work with humans, it is still helpful with the animals. I would love to show your pet some love and care:) My school schedule differs every month, however, I am coming up on some more flexibility in my schedule for the summer. This schedule allows for care during summer vacations, day trips, or just day-to-day check ins. My roommate has a wonderful golden retriever who is very friendly! While we have space for another dog, I am not available for overnight care in my own house, to respect my roommate and the pup. I am comfortable with any necessary care for your pet in your house! I absolutely love walking dogs and making sure they get good exercise. I am very familiar with crate training and feeding routines, so will put your pet in good hands!
About: I’ve taken care of dogs, cats and everything between. I’ve had a lot of experience with senior pet care. Ultimately I’m happy to make your pet feel at home, in routine, and loved while you’re away! I’m a college student with all online classes so I have plenty of time to give your pets all the attention they need. Weekends are a great time for me and I know that’s a perfect time to for pet parents to be away for a little! I really value keeping your pet in their routine and in the comfort of their home. I have a dog and cat myself that are the sweetest but a smaller apartment space so limited opportunities in my home.

Pet parents share their Rover experiences - Vestavia Hills
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!
Melissa is the BEST pet sitter ever. Her visit reports are very thorough and quite entertaining. We have the greatest peace of mind knowing she is checking in on our kitties (and medicating them, as needed). We've been using her for maybe two years now and trust her completely.
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!
Katharine has been my saving grace since getting my Benny boy. Her love and care for my puppy doesn’t go unnoticed. She is the most reliable help I have found so far, and I plan to keep her around for as long as she will let me. My Benny loves her and so do I! Thank you Katharine for all you do for us, and I absolutely recommend using her for your doggy needs! ❤️

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 Vestavia Hills 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.

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.
