“Katherine was so sweet and made sure to keep me updated. I told her that this was my first time boarding Lu privately, so she made this SO comfortable and I got a bunch of super cute pictures out of it!”
About: I have diverse experience in animal care from my own pets, to neighbors and family members’ furry friends, and even professionally with wildlife. I am excited and honored to care for your family, both human and animal. I work sporting events freelance and am looking to add a little work on the side. I am free almost every weekday and most weekends. I do have an apartment most suitable for smaller dogs, however I have access to ample green space and neighborhoods to walk and play in. In your home, I will respect your space while keeping your furry friend in an environment they know.
About: I’ve been around both large and small dogs my whole life. I fostered Dog’s when I live in Ohio and I had 3 acres. My sister has 5 dogs and 4 cats and a lizard. I used to take care of them all the time while she worked. I used to have a special needs dog that I took care of before cancer took him from me in 2019. I have 2 dogs right now. One was a foster fail, lol. I am a mother with another job so my schedule is all over the place, but I make it work. I can watch over night occasionally. When caring for pets in the client’s home, I will do what is needed to keep the pet safe and happy. Walks, play time, I can administer meds if needed, crate if needed, cuddles, etc. whatever you need.
“Tony took very great care of my doggie. He actually spoiled him rotten!! LOL. He can watch him anytime. I will continue to book with Tony for upcoming boarding and drop-in services.”
“Ray did an amazing job taking care of our puppy for an entire week! Leaving your puppy for that long can definitely be stressful, but we felt so comfortable knowing she was in good hands. He took great care of her, and it was clear she was well cared for and loved while we were away. We really appreciate everything Ray did and would absolutely recommend him to anyone looking for a reliable and caring dog sitter. We’ll definitely be using him again!”
“Teri was terrific! I took my very old (17) labradoodle to Teri while I was out of the country. Teri took exceptional care of Millie....way above and beyond! Teri took such good care, my old girl had a skip in her step when I returned. Teri was kind enough to send pictures and tell us how Millie was doing...she provided a nice vacation for my dog while I was vacationing. Millie and I look forward to our next vacation! Charles”
“Alexandra was amazing with our dog Nala. This was longest we ever left her so we were a little nervous about her. But looking at the pictures/updates she sent everyday, we knew that our Nala was having the best time. She was also very accommodating about last minute extension due to our flight delay. We would highly recommend her and would definitely book with her again in future.”
About: Lexie, my own dog, has taught me a lot about patience, routine, and understanding a dog’s needs. Through caring for her and other family dogs and my previous dogs back in the Philippines, I’ve gained hands-on experience with daily pet care, playtime, and feeding schedules. I’m very attentive and make sure every dog feels safe, comfortable, and loved while their owners are away. I enjoy keeping dogs active with playtime, especially games like fetch, providing plenty of cuddle time, and sticking to their routines for feeding, potty breaks, and naps, and making sure they get plenty of attention and affection. Every dog deserves a fun, safe, and caring environment, and I’m dedicated to giving them just that. I’m available to care for pets on weekends, which is when I’m off work and can give full attention to your furry friends. During that time, I can provide playtime, walks, potty breaks, and plenty of cuddles, making sure your dog stays happy and well cared for while you’re away. I create a safe, loving space for every pup at my home. I have a semi-fenced yard where dogs can play under supervision, and I stick to their routines, giving plenty of attention, play, and cuddles so they always feel happy and secure.
“As a self-proclaimed helicopter dog mom, Bri was fantastic with my two girls (and their 6 bags of stuff I sent them with) for their first ever dog sitter experience. They were wagging their tails and had made themselves right at home in every picture and video I saw. Bri’s dog Bingo even got his first girlfriend: my dog Ella! After their 4 night stay, they came home exhausted and in such great spirits. I know the girls are looking forward to their next sleep over at Bri’s!”
“Jesilyn accommodated our needs with very little notice with a smile on her face! She sent me photos and updates regularly. My dogs seemed happy around her and were safe and sound when I returned home. Will be booking with her again!”
About: About Me 🐾 Hi! My name is Brianna, and I’ve been a dog lover for as long as I can remember. I’ve had dogs throughout my entire life, so caring for dogs has always been something that comes naturally to me. I currently have a small dog named Marshall, a Cavalier King Charles Spaniel, who is a very important part of our family. Having Marshall has given me even more experience with the love, patience, attention, and consistency that dogs need to feel comfortable and happy. I know that leaving your pet with someone else can be stressful, which is why I treat every dog in my care like they are part of my own family. My goal is to provide a safe, comfortable, loving environment where your dog can relax and enjoy their stay. I’m happy to follow your pet’s normal routine, including feeding schedules, walks, playtime, medications, and any special instructions you provide. I also understand that every dog has their own personality and needs, and I’ll take the time to get to know what makes your pup comfortable. Whether your dog loves to play, enjoys cuddling on the couch, or prefers a little quiet time, I’m happy to meet them where they are. 🐶❤️ I would love the opportunity to get to know you and your pup and become someone you can feel comfortable trusting with their care! I work during the day, but I’m available for boarding and can provide plenty of attention before and after work. I’m available most weekends and will make sure your pup gets plenty of playtime, potty breaks, cuddles, and care throughout their stay. Your pet’s safety and comfort are my top priorities. I have a safe, welcoming home and a fenced yard for supervised outdoor time. I have a friendly Cavalier King Charles Spaniel named Marshall who enjoys having other dogs around. I’m happy to follow your pet’s normal routine, including feeding, walks, playtime, crate time, and any special instructions.
About: I have grown up with animals of all kinds! When I was born I had two dogs and a cat! I have taken care of pretty much all types of breeds! I love animals so much that I almost became a vet! I currently work a full time job Monday-Friday, but if local I can come let dogs out during my lunch break! I also have a 2 year old German shorthair pointer who loves to meet new friends I currently have a fenced in yard but that doesn’t stop my dog and I. She has been trained on e-collar and recall, but we also are good with leashes! I can also take dogs anywhere with my safety backseat canopy for dogs!
“Ashley was wonderful. She kept me updated with daily photos and videos. My dog seemed to acclimate really well with her during the stay. I was very happy to get those daily updates. Thanks so much!”
About: I have cared for a variety of animals and am comfortable caring for any pet (including exotic or uncommon), any age, any size, any level of care, and any personality! I have past experience caring for senior animals (including dogs, cats, and horses) as well as animals under age 1 (including dogs and cats). I often volunteer at the Birmingham Humane Society! Although I am not offering training services, I have experience training and am willing to uphold any training regimen. I have experience shadowing a household pet veterinarian as well as an equine veterinarian. I also have farm animal care experience. I love playtime and am very attentive! I am very excited to care for your pet! I am available for boarding weekends and weekdays after 7 pm. My apartment is the perfect environment for boarding! I am available for boarding some weekdays all day, but I will need notice 5 days and to coordinate in advance for boarding on a weekday before 7 pm due to shifting schedule days. I am available to sit weekends and after 7 pm on weekdays. Can do daytime feedings or walks 2 or 3 times a day. I’m currently working full-time at UAB Hospital (3 12 hr shifts/week). For boarding, I am in a one bedroom apartment with no other pets and decent play space. I have no toys, litter boxes, or cat trees so will need to provide their own. I live next to a large unfenced park. The apartment is clean and tidy and safe for pets. The apartment building also has a pet bathing station available if your pet needs cleaning. If you are concerned with a public bathing station, I am perfectly comfortable bathing your pet in the bath in my apartment. Please, let me know of any health or hygiene issues beforehand. Medications/allergies/health concerns are extremely important to me. For sitting, I will clean any pet messes if needed. Require a decently clean home and closer distance if overnight sitting is needed. Please, let me know of any concerns ahead of time. For walks, please let me know an estimated average walk time for your pet so that they are comfortable and happy!
About: I have volunteered at my local humane society for about 3 or 4 years! I started after I brought in a puppy from the street and they loved that I loved a dog I’ve never even met so much to take her home and they signed me up for volunteer work! I love dogs so much I will always make time for them! Aghhh I can’t even put it into words how much I love dogs! I take great care of my pets! They all have had birthday parties as well as their own clothes for winter and things! I love all pets the same!
“Kendall is phenomenal! She made my dog feel at home and was a great communicator which made me feel very comfortable. They have a lovely fenced in backyard that is perfect for doggos. She’s my new go-to sitter!”
About: Having grown up with animals most my life…I pride myself in the ability to comfort and love your furry friend… Even from a distance. My special skills, are soft skills… Meaning that I work best with slow warm-ups for any anxious pets. But also, I’m ready for any high energy animals as well. I go to school, and work during the weekdays… But have a giant break in the middle of the day, for any pet care. Weekends work best for me. Making sure to adapt to whatever the pet owner, and pet need. Whether that means space, or extra attention… I can be that in-between person you request. I also pride myself on attention to detail… So will notice any change in behavior, or care necessary.
The median cost per night for pet boarding in Alabaster is $40
Pet parents share their Rover experiences - Alabaster
I travel a good bit for work and fun. So naturally I want to ensure that my little buddy Duke is well taken care of in my absence. We have enjoyed some really great sitters in the several years that we’ve been a part of the Rover community. But hands down Kayla B. was by far THEE best sitter we have ever experienced in 12 years of being a dog mom. Her genuine care, love, and concern for animals is exceptional. Her communication was wonderful and quick. Thanks to Kayla, I even have a picture collage of Duke for keepsake. She went above and beyond to check his tongue when I thought I saw a rash in a picture. This was the first time my dog was torn when it was time to come home. I could tell he missed Kayla and her family instantly. She is our forever sitter as long as she’s doing this.
★★★★★ Absolutely amazing! She took such great care of Hampton and Willow, and I could tell they were happy, comfortable, and well cared for. She went above and beyond when I unexpectedly got a flat tire and even brought the dogs home to me so I didn’t have to worry about getting them. That meant so much to me! She was kind, dependable, communicative, and truly treated my dogs like her own. I couldn’t have asked for a better sitter and will definitely be booking with her again. I highly recommend her to anyone looking for someone trustworthy and caring to watch their fur babies! 🐾❤️
Princess was an amazing sitter! She gave me great updates throughout the stay and was incredibly patient and loving with my shy dog. She took the time to make her feel comfortable and safe to come out of her shell. I’m so grateful for the care and will definitely rebook with her!
Carli is very sweet and accommodating to your needs! This was our first time using Rover and had a terrific experience. She checked in multiple times throughout the day with updates and pictures of our girls. She has a wonderful demeanor and attitude for pet sitting and followed instructions clearly, even accommodating to changes. We will absolutely be using her in the future!
Second time leaving our young dog with Stephanie and she was amazing (as always!) We will absolutely return to the Puppy Ranch in the future! Stephanie kept us updated daily and sent pictures. Our dog had a blast playing with Stephanie’s dogs and was clearly sad to leave! 😂 Thanks again, Stephanie!
