“Manisha did an excellent job dog sitting during Thanksgiving week when no one else could. We had full trust in her after our initial meeting. She’s very responsible and our two dogs were in excellent hands while we were away. We were very fortunate to find her. Scott W.”
“Jake was a pleasure to work with—communicative, responsible, and highly respectful of our home and pets. We returned to happy dogs and a well-cared-for home, which gave us great peace of mind while we were away. We would absolutely work with him again and highly recommend him to anyone looking for a trustworthy pet and house sitter.”
“She took great care of our two big dogs while we were out of town. She communicated with us the whole time, sent photos and answered questions. And the dogs loved her! Don’t hesitate to let Taylor watch your pets!”
“Ivey did an amazing job caring for my three dogs while I was away. Leaving three dogs with someone isn’t something I take lightly, but she made the entire experience easy and worry-free. She kept me updated with messages and photos throughout my trip, which gave me real peace of mind. It was obvious my dogs were well cared for, loved, and received plenty of attention. They were happy, relaxed, and comfortable when I returned home. Ivey was dependable, communicative, and genuinely cared about my dogs. I highly recommend her to anyone looking for a trustworthy and caring pet sitter. I will definitely book with her again!”
About: I’ve been caring for dogs for around four years and have experience with a variety of breeds, including dachshunds, Labradoodles, beagles, and labs. I’m also comfortable caring for dogs at every stage of life, from energetic puppies to senior dogs who may need a little extra patience and attention. I was also a dog mom to my Boston terrier for 15 years before she passed away in 2023, so I understand firsthand how much our pets truly become part of the family. Having her from puppyhood through her senior years gave me experience adapting to a dog’s changing needs as they age. When your dog is in my care, my goal is to make sure they feel safe, comfortable, loved, and treated just like I would want my own dog to be treated. I’m a teacher during the day, so I’m available for pet care in the evenings and at night during the week, making my schedule a great fit for pet parents who work late or overnight shifts. Whether your pup needs an evening walk, some playtime, or a check-in while you’re at work, I’m happy to help! My weekends are much more flexible, so I have greater availability throughout the day for walks, drop-ins, and pet sitting. I provide care in my clients’ homes, where pets can stay comfortable in their familiar environment and maintain their normal routine. I understand that every dog has different needs, so I’ll follow any instructions you provide for feeding, walks, potty breaks, medications, playtime, and bedtime routines. I’m also happy to spend extra time playing, giving belly rubs, or simply keeping them company if that’s what makes them happiest! I’ll treat your home with the same care and respect I would expect someone to show mine, and I’ll make sure you receive updates and pictures so you can feel comfortable knowing your pet is safe, happy, and well cared for while you’re away.
About: Ive had dogs in my life 24/7 ever since I’ve been born from 30 to 180 pounds and any breed. And I know the struggle of not having time to take care of them too. Im trying to find a part time job but none the less have more than enough time to take care of dogs whenever throughout the day. We run our dogs daily, feed them real dog food, and love on them constantly. And I would want to make your dog the same way.
About: I have 6 years of experience caring for dogs and other pets for family, friends, and neighbors. I have experience with walking, feeding, playtime, bathing, and giving pets plenty of attention and affection. I’m responsible, patient, and dependable, and I understand how important it is to have someone you trust caring for your pet. I treat every pet like they’re my own and make sure they feel safe, comfortable, and loved while their owners are away. I’m currently a college student, so I balance pet care around my class schedule. I have flexibility throughout the week, including mornings, afternoons, evenings, and weekends depending on my classes. I’m great at planning ahead and will make sure your pet gets the time, attention, and care they deserve. I always make pets’ safety and comfort my top priority. I carefully follow each owner’s instructions and routines, including feeding, walks, playtime, and any specific care needs. I’m responsible, attentive, and will make sure your pet feels comfortable, loved, and well cared for while you’re away.
“This was the first time we used Kathleen. She did a great job. It gave us peace of mind while we were visiting our son and daughter. To be at the birth of our first grandson. Thank you, Kathleen.”
About: I have been dog sitting since my teenage years for family, friends, neighbors, and repeat clients. I always send frequent photo and video updates to give you complete peace of mind. I also have hands-on experience administering oral medications safely and on schedule. Your pup’s safety, routine, and comfort are always my top priorities! With my highly flexible schedule it will be easy for me to give your fur babies the love, time, and attention they deserve and are used to! Your pets will be safe and sound at home with me!

About: I grew up on a farm. My mom raised puppies and kittens. Growing up I lived with at least eight dogs and eight cats at a time (in a small trailer). Now I live in a small house with room outside to walk a dog-- and can even take them to a trail or creek if you wish. I am not scared of aggressive animals. Some pets need more attention than others! I am a house cleaner from 7:30AM to about 11AM-3PM (it depends on the houses). However, I can make time to come home in between work for your pet. I am free all day on weekends. I have a small grass field, a safe neighborhood, and a cozy home. I make sure your pet always has water and food (unless otherwise specified) and attention.
About: I’ve always had such a huge love for animals and have been surrounded by dogs my entire life! I grew up in a household with multiple dogs, so caring for animals has always been a natural part of my everyday routine. I’ve also worked with local animal shelters, which has given me experience with dogs of different breeds, ages, sizes, and personalities. I currently have a yellow Lab named Ollie, who I’ve raised since he was a puppy! I have tons of hands-on experience with feeding, walking, potty training, basic training, administering daily care, and making sure pets feel safe, comfortable, and loved. I understand that every animal has its own personality and needs, and I’m always happy to adjust to their routines. I truly treat every animal like family and would love the opportunity to give your pets the same love, patience, and attention I give my own! I have a pretty flexible schedule since I only have a few in-person classes and take the rest online. Because of that, I’m free most of the day and can easily plan my time around pet care. Whether it’s drop-ins, walks, or spending extra time with them, I’m able to be consistent and present. I focus on keeping pets comfortable in their own space by sticking to their normal routine. I’ll follow all instructions carefully, whether that’s feeding, walks, playtime, or medications if needed. I make sure they get plenty of attention and care so they don’t feel stressed while you’re gone. I also treat your home with respect and keep everything clean and as you left it.

I’m a full time student at the University of Alabama so I’m able to fit in pet care around my classes!! My classes are primarily in the morning!! I would communicate the pets needs with the owner to ensure I can provide the same care and attention they receive when their owner is at the home with them!

About: Hi! I am a 24 year old in Tuscaloosa and I would love to care for your pet! I have experience with both big and small dogs along with cats. I spent over a year working at TROT doing equine-assisted therapy and helping care for the horses on their property. I am comfortable administering medicine as I have had a diabetic dog and currently have a special-needs dog myself. I have also shadowed in a veterinarian's office for six months and have volunteered in animal shelters since middle school. I work six hours a day, but my hours are flexible so I am able to work around your pet needs. I have my own dog and cat to care for, but my flexible schedule allows me to easily work with your pets schedule. I can not care for pets in my home as I have my own dog-reactive dog, but cats can be kept in my second bedroom as both my dog and cat have had experience with having foster cats through the apartment.
About: With over 5 years of hands on experience in animal care, I offer more than just pet sitting, I provide peace of mind.

About: I’ve taken care of dogs for 4 years! I have three goldens of my own and understand how they can can be like family! 🫶🏼 I would be so excited to take care of your pets while you are away! I am also an AKC affiliated dog breeder of two years! I am a grad student who does online school so I’m available to care for your pets 3-4 times a day if desired. I usually am free any time of the day to come take your dog for a walk, check on them, or stay over night! I do live in a mobile home with three Goldens. The downside is I do not have a fenced in back yard, but the upside is I’m with them 16-24 hours of the day until their owners arrive back home! If a client ask me to stay at their home I usually follow their instructions with how many times they want me to come and if they want me to stay overnight! 🫶🏼

Zaira is a gem! She is attentive and sweet with animals, and she takes exceptional care of them. She communicates well and takes good care of your home also. When you return home, you know from how your pets are that they had a great experience and were relaxed and comfortable with Zaira. Highly recommend!
I have had Alyssia watch my animals twice now and both times she did such an amazing job! Goes above and beyond for my babies and takes care of them as if they are her own. Shes very reliable and flexible which is a huge plus! I would most definitely rebook her over and over. Im so grateful to have found someone I can trust with my babies and my house. If you need a dog sitter book with alyssia!!
Jamie did an OUTSTANDING JOB taking care of our two pups! We were updated daily with pictures and videos and never for one second thought our dogs weren’t in the most perfect of hands. I would highly recommend anyone who is looking for someone to care for there dogs to use Jamie as we will definitely be using her more often!!!
Ivey did an amazing job caring for my three dogs while I was away. Leaving three dogs with someone isn’t something I take lightly, but she made the entire experience easy and worry-free. She kept me updated with messages and photos throughout my trip, which gave me real peace of mind. It was obvious my dogs were well cared for, loved, and received plenty of attention. They were happy, relaxed, and comfortable when I returned home. Ivey was dependable, communicative, and genuinely cared about my dogs. I highly recommend her to anyone looking for a trustworthy and caring pet sitter. I will definitely book with her again!
Maurica was fantastic. She was communicative, reliable, followed instructions, asked great questions, and sent helpful updates and photos. Raleigh and Queen both seemed comfortable, happy, and very well cared for. She was flexible with a relatively last-minute booking, took great care of Raleigh with walks and dog park trips, and left the house cleaner than she found it. I would definitely book her again.
I have never left my dog with anyone that I didn’t personally already know but I couldn’t have found a better person to take care of Copper. Copper looks better than when I left him and my house is even cleaner than I left it. Reid took Copper on countless walks which helped me relax leaving my buddy for so long. I will absolutely hire Reid again as I doubt there’s a better option around.

Beyond belly rubs and feeding schedules, a house sitter’s presence may provide an additional layer of security for your home. However, you will need to arrange overnight stays and other household tasks with your sitter when reaching out to them. Not all sitters offer the same services. Common household tasks you can negotiate include:
- Mail & deliveries: Collecting letters and packages so they don't pile up.
- Plant care: Keeping your indoor or outdoor garden hydrated.
- Trash & recycling: Taking trash cans to the curb on scheduled pickup days.
- Home security: Sitters can stay overnight to keep your home occupied.
The best way to align on expectations is during your free Meet & Greet. Use this time to provide a "home cheat sheet" that includes your preferred Alberta Heights walking routes, the location of your favorite pet store, and any specific quirks about your home’s security or appliances.
It’s helpful to think of house sitting as a "home base" service. Most sitters in Alberta Heights maintain their normal daily routines, like running errands or heading to the office, meaning your pet should be comfortable being alone for a few hours at a time. If your pet needs a little extra company, here is how to find the perfect match:
- Look for "WFH" sitters: Many sitters mention "Work from Home" on their profile to indicate they’ll be present for the majority of the day.
- Update your pet’s profile: Write down how long your pet can comfortably be left alone. This helps sitters quickly determine if their schedule aligns with your needs.
- Communicate 24/7 needs: Standard house sitting usually doesn't include constant supervision. If your pet requires round-the-clock care, be sure to discuss this upfront.
<b>Tip:</b> Use the Meet & Greet to confirm a sitter's typical "away" windows. Transparency ensures your pet stays happy and your sitter can plan their day effectively!
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 Alberta Heights 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!

This can be helpful if you have a new pet or routine you want to go over with your sitter.
Meet & Greets can take place in person or virtually. If you are booking with a sitter for the first time, we recommend in-person Meet & Greets to get a clearer sense of how your sitter interacts with your pet 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.
