About: Hi! I am an avid animal lover and pet owner. Mom to 3 dogs ranging in size from Lab/Shepherd mix to dachshund. I have great sized yard with plenty of room for walks and exercise. I have a separate kennel area if your pets need to be separated from mine. My dogs get along well with other dogs, they are both inside and outside and are welcome on furniture, beds, etc. Although born and raised a country girl in AL, I lived in San Diego CA for 15 years where I got lots of experience being a dog sitter. It is something I have always enjoyed. Your dog will have a great time roaming with us! Pet care is already a natural part of my daily routine. I have dogs of my own, so I understand how important it is to provide consistent care, attention, exercise, and lots of love. I make time every day for feeding, walks, playtime, and making sure my pets feel safe and comfortable. I’m organized and dependable, and I understand that pet owners need someone they can trust to maintain their pets’ routines while they’re away. Pet care isn’t just a task for me; it’s something I genuinely enjoy and prioritize. I provide loving, attentive care in my clients’ homes so pets can stay comfortable in their own familiar environment and maintain their normal routines. I follow each pet’s specific feeding schedule, walking routine, medication instructions if needed, and preferred playtime and cuddle time. I make sure they have fresh water, a clean environment, and plenty of attention, affection, and companionship. I also provide updates and photos so owners can feel confident their fur babies are in good hands. As a pet owner myself, I understand that every animal has a unique personality and comfort level, and I take the time to make each pet feel safe, loved, and cared for just like they would be with their own family.

About: I have had dogs my whole life ☺️ I have cared for my own as well as others for years. At my home safety is top priority. My baby recently passed. Rhett was my world for 15 years and my home just isn’t the same without him. I would love to watch your fur baby🙂 and give them love and affection in your absence. I work from home and can give your baby 100% attention. We go on many potty breaks and times to snoop in the yard. I would love to host your fur baby. I have a large fenced in yard. My 6 pound baby loved running and playing in the yard. No way to escape. Plenty of squirrels to run after!

About: If this is your first time booking, use https://www.rover.com/sit/noran93663 for 20 dollars off! Ive had the opportunity over the last few years to care for pups ranging from 10weeks to senior dogs! I’ve also had the experience working with dogs of varying temperaments from skittish to semi aggressive. My goal is to provide loving care to your animals while providing that reassurance that your pets are being well loved! I’m currently a stay at home mom so care for the animals can be very flexible and fit whatever schedule works best for them. Keeping the dog on their routine helps to minimize any stress! I have a fenced in backyard and I do have a very playful pup that would love to have a friend or pal to play with!

Frequently asked questions about Rover

Rover is the largest marketplace for local pet care. Whether you're looking for pet sitters, dog walkers, or house sitters who specialize in pet sitting, you can narrow your search by entering your ZIP code to find sitters within walking distance in your neighborhood.

Every sitter on Rover has their own routine. Depending on the arrangements you agree on before the stay, a sitter can follow your dog’s regular feeding schedule, provide a comfortable place to sleep, offer companionship, and support their usual exercise and play needs.

Depending on the sitter, their home environment, and your dog’s needs, daily exercise may include walks, outdoor play, indoor enrichment activities, or supervised play with compatible dogs. These activities are not automatically included with every booking, so ask the sitter what a typical day looks like.

During the Meet & Greet, discuss your dog’s usual exercise and play routine, whether they can safely interact with other dogs, and any activities or restrictions the sitter should follow. You can also ask the sitter to send photo and message updates during the stay so you can see how your dog is spending their time.

Preparing for drop-off is easy when you have a checklist! To help your dog settle into their Battleground home-away-from-home, we recommend packing:

  • Health and safety essentials such as their ID tags, vaccination records, medication, and emergency vet or secondary caregiver contacts.
  • Food and gear such as harnesses, collars, food (portioned by day), and an item that smells like you.
  • Special instructions such as a list of training cues, medical administration needs, or favorite hang-out spots in your Battleground.

Tip: You can upload your dog’s routine and medical info directly onto their profile so your sitter always has the details at their fingertips.

You and your Battleground sitter can schedule drop-off and pick-up in a way that works best for the both of you—and your dog. Most sitters offer flexible times for drop-off and pick-up but the easiest way to confirm those times will be through in-app messaging. Confirm your arrival time the day of pick-up and drop-off can also help keep the process smooth and organized.

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.

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.

While each sitter sets their own vaccine requirements, staying up-to-date on your dog’s vaccines is the best way to be "boarding ready". Vaccinations help create a safe environment for all pets under a sitter’s care.

Many sitters in AL ask that dogs be up to date on core vaccines like the Canine Parvovirus, Canine Distemper, Canine Adenovirus, Bordetella, and Rabies.

By discussing your pet's health history early, you’re adding a layer of confidence for you and your sitter before the booking begins.

If a health concern arises during a stay, your sitter is instructed to contact you and our Trust & Safety team immediately and, if needed, take your dog to the closest veterinarian. Through our Trust & Safety support team, sitters can ask for diagnostic advice from a qualified veterinary professional if your dog is showing signs of possible illness.

For extra peace of mind, you can also prepare an authorization form for your regular vet. An authorization form outlines your preferred method of care and allows your sitter to bring your pet into their regular clinic.

Every qualified booking made on Rover is backed by the Rover Guarantee, which includes reimbursement for eligible emergency vet care.
