“I have used Amelia’s services multiple times now. My cats are getting quite used to her. Normally they hide but they come out for her every time which makes me very happy. Everything is neat and tidy and taken care of while I’m gone and I know that my cats are in good hands. Thank you so much. I will definitely book you again!”

“This is the second time Ann has checked in on Sweets, and she continues to be dependable and communicative! Will definitely book with her in the future!”

“This was my second time booking with Virginia this summer and I fully expect to book with her again soon. She sends tons or pictures and thorough updates on my kitty and I can tell she’s in good hands!”

“This is my second time booking with Michael. He honestly is the best/most awesome sitter ever. He always takes the upmost care of my boys. And hangs out with them longer/loves on them. He made sure to alert me to my middle baby hiding in the cabinet some so I could take him to the vet and make sure everything was okay. I can't say enough positive honestly!”

“Was able to do two last minute drop ins for me when other plans fell through. Was very responsive, flexible, and kept me very well informed. Was even kind enough to clean up after my dogs when they made a mess. Would recommend her to anyone!!!”

About: Hi there! I’m Charlie — the heart behind Cedar Creek Canine here in Mobile, Alabama. Dogs have been one of my greatest passions for as long as I can remember, and caring for them isn’t just a job for me — it’s a calling. I’ve worked in both kennel and veterinary environments, gaining hands-on experience with dogs of all breeds, ages, and temperaments. Over the years, I’ve developed a deep understanding of canine behavior, training, and communication — especially with working, sporting, and gun dog breeds. I’m trained in canine CPR, experienced in medication administration, and comfortable handling everything from high-energy pups to senior dogs needing gentle care. Whether it’s playtime, structure, or comfort, I tailor each dog’s experience to their unique personality and needs. I currently work as a delivery driver and have a flexible schedule built around pet care. I’m available for boarding, walks, drop-ins, and training throughout the week, with weekends and evenings open for extended stays or sessions. Dogs in my care are never left unattended for more than 2-4 hours. Your dog will always have reliable, consistent care and a routine that keeps them happy, safe, and comfortable. Your dog’s safety and comfort are my top priorities. I provide a secure, clean, and relaxed home environment where every dog is treated like family. I have experience working in kennel and veterinary settings, so I know how to handle dogs of all temperaments and ensure their wellbeing at all times. Dogs in my care are always supervised during playtime and outdoor activities, and they’re never left unattended for long periods. I’m trained in canine CPR and skilled at reading body language, managing group dynamics, and preventing stress or conflict before it happens. Whether your dog is here for boarding, daycare, or training, they’ll enjoy a safe, structured, and loving environment that feels like a second home.
“2nd time booking with Jordan. Just top notch service. I’m so pleased with the level of patience and care Jordan consistently shows our little guy. I’m very picky about who I leave Jasper with, Jordan is very trustworthy and would highly recommend her services. Thanks again Jordan! See you again soon!”

About: I had a Cocker-Spaniel for 12 years with my wife and just recently got my first puppy last year. Now I am addicted, we have since adopted one and fostered many. My sister is a drug rep for veterinary clinics and I do computer work for a few of them. I have lots of contacts in the field if ever there was an emergency. I work from home most of the time, and usually here all day and night, other than for store runs, or occasional working in office. I have an unfenced yard but live in a great area for walking dogs on leash, there is a park across the street we can run in and play fetch. I have 2 dogs, Charley and Winnie, Charley is a big puppy that loves all other dogs, he is 75 pounds of play, Winnie is more of the mother dog but only weighs 17 pounds, she puts Charley in his place though. They are up to dates on shots and preventative medicines and both are fixed.
“Aleigha was incredible!!! Super nice and friendly and was so patient with my fur babies! One of my dogs is super timid and scared and sometimes doesn’t eat when I’m not around. Aleigha was wonderful enough to try hand feeding to get him to eat and it worked! If you’re looking for a pet sitter she’s the one you want!!”

About: I’ve taken care of multiple different types of animals, from dogs, to cats, to even horses. I’ve always loved being around animals since I was younger and always put the time, effort, and same energy that I do with my own cat. I also have experience taking care of handicapped animals for a short amount of time. I would be honored to care for your animals and I believe that I would be the paw-fect fit. I currently work at a high school and have most of the afternoons (around 3pm), weekends, and holidays off. I also work at another job that is part time after school but they post my schedule once a month which allows flexibility. I would be nothing but loving and caring for every animal. I can take them on walks around the neighborhood or take them to a park/the beach. One of your animals an introvert? No problem! I am great with introverted animals and let them come to me when they’re ready. I never push their boundaries and I always pay attention to their demeanor. My main goal is to make sure that not only the pets are comfortable but the owners are too.
“She is a very caring and attentive girl when it comes to taking care of my pet. She took exceptional care of my dog despite his disability. She is a responsible and kind person.”

About: I’ve raised and been around dogs my entire life. I can train minor skills to puppies along with potty training. I also have experience administering medicine to even the most stubborn of dogs. I fully aim to make sure your babies are left healthy, fed and enriched. I’m fully available day or night. I’m also willing to spend extra time for slower dogs or for dogs who have more energy than most. I’ll wrestle em. I love dogs more than people most of the time. I understand that no two dogs are the same and they all come with different sets of needs. I personally have an ACD and Newfoundland, I can handle just about anything. I love the giant teddy bears and tiny terrors all the same! I’m willing to play, cuddle, and just love your babies like they’re my own dogs.
“Kerrington takes good care of all our babies which includes a cat, dogs and fish. It makes leaving them much less stressful knowing they are in capable hands. Highly recommend.”
About: I have had pets - dogs and cats my entire life. I work from home, I have plenty of time to take care of your pets too. I work from home, I have plenty of time during the day to take care of your pets at your house or mine. I have two beagles - you've probably seen me around midtown walking the dogs or just walking by myself. I have a locked fenced in yard, a big deck and two friendly beagles to keep the neighborhood company. I am home all day, another dog or two isn't a problem.
About: Growing up we were a pet family - included cats, dogs, rats (I know), hamsters, fish, and reptiles. As an adult I have been responsible for caring for the pets of my friends and family. Including "high maintenance dogs, e.g requiring medication 3 times a day, needing an ointment on their skin etc. I have looked after dogs and cats ranging from a few months to end of life care, including those visually impaired. I currently have no pets of my own so am looking forward to devoting my care to your pet. My full-time job is flexible in terms of hours and I can work from home if your pet needs extra attention. This allows for the flexibility for scheduling walks or boarding. I am available most days for all activities depending on the day. I have a pet friendly home in a beautiful area of Midtown so if walks are needed it the best environment. Other pets would need their homes if they require (crate, terrarium etc). I live in a clean, calm, environment that all pets can enjoy.
About: I wanted to be a veterinarian for about 15 years. Volunteered with vets, worked at animal shelters, and now I frequently walk/pet sit animals in my neighborhood! I’m a medical student, so my schedule can vary week to week but I will never take on a sitting during a time where my schedule prevents giving an animal the best care possible. I have a fenced in yard, but love taking pups for walks when they need it! I’ll make sure your animals get the care they deserve whether it’s at my house or yours!
About: I'm here to lend a helping hand in caring for your furbabies. Mine are my world! I don't know that I've ever been without pets. I'm that person that stops traffic to help a turtle cross the road. I've saved many strays. We've fostered multiple sets of pups from the local shelters & I have experience with bottle feed babies, both pups & kittens. I have & have had many pets throughout my life & that's where my experience comes from. Dogs of all sizes, young & old. I can give medications if needed. I would love to help you out when you need someone to step in & care for them for a bit. I will treat them as I would my own. I work a full time job M - F, 8:00 - 4:00, but my job is Hybrid, so I work from home 3 days a week. So aside from meetings, I can fit in drop-in visits most anytime. I can also, stop by prior to & after work as well. My schedule is pretty flexible. I have multiple pups & even more cats. I have a fenced in backyard that our babies thoroughly enjoy being able to roam & explore daily. During my visits, I will care for your baby however you've instructed because I know it's beneficial for them to stay on their own schedule. A couple of mine have high anxiety so I fully understand the benefits of staying home & keeping schedules as much as possible. If they don't have a fence & need walks, I will welcome the additional steps.
About: I love animals, growing up I wanted to be veterinarian and would get emotional at the sight of stray animals. I have years of experience sitting the pets of friends, family and neighbors! I will take care of your furry friend like they are one of my own. Right now I have a two kitties and a fish! I am currently in school, but after school- at around 5:30 pm I am available for pet care. I am also free on the weekends! In your home I will feed, play, and give attention to your pet. Let me know what you are most comfortable with boundary wise and I will happily accommodate.
About: I’ve had 2 dogs my entire life (Jack Russell and Toy Poodle) and many of my family members have animals of all sizes! I’d love to spend time with your furry friend when you need it!! I have open availability so whenever you need me! I also have 2 small dogs if you’d like your pup to have some friends to hang out with! I take great care in making sure your pet is safe and happy. Lists of things they like/dislike are helpful (for example my cat gets upset when he is held, but likes belly scratches)
Arlington pet parents share their Rover experiences
My cat got along with Michael very well. He did a phenomenal job of caring for my pet, engaging with him, and cleaning up after him. He was especially good about providing daily updates and videos. He's an excellent sitter with a warm personality and I'd recommend him to anyone.
We can't say enough about Priya. Her communication was great and she took such good care of our pups. I was a little worried because we were staying at a campground and they were in a strange place. She sent pictures to put my mind at ease and the pups loved her. We hope to use her again when we come back next year.
