Dog Sitting Bessemer

About: I’ve been an animal lover my entire life and have always had pets in my home. I currently have three dogs of my own, ranging from 9 to 65 lbs, and I’m also an experienced foster for both dogs and cats. Over the past three years, I’ve had the privilege of fostering and helping 24 animals find their forever homes. My fostering experience has given me hands-on experience with dogs and cats of all personalities, including those with anxiety, nervousness, and behavioral challenges. I’m patient, attentive, and committed to making every pet feel safe, comfortable, and loved while they’re in my care. All dogs in my care receive multiple leashed walks throughout the day, along with plenty of attention, playtime, and companionship. I treat every pet like they’re part of my own family! While I work full-time, my schedule allows flexibility during the day for walks and drop-ins, and I’m able to come home during lunch to let pets out. My own pets are let outside 2–3 times before I leave for work and spend the entire evening out and about with me. Dogs in my care will receive multiple leashed walks throughout the day, plenty of attention, and lots of companionship. I’ll treat your pets like they’re part of my own family! Safety and comfort are my top priorities when caring for pets. In my home, my pets have their own dedicated room, and each has their own crate for a safe, comfortable space to retreat to when needed. All pets are fed separately to help prevent food-related issues and ensure everyone stays safe and comfortable. The pet room is quiet and away from the regular activity and household noises, giving pets a calm place to relax. Dogs that get along well are welcome to spend time together throughout the home, while pets who prefer one-on-one attention can have individualized time with me. I’m also able to rotate pets as needed so everyone gets plenty of time out, exercise, attention, and companionship. Pets are welcome to roam throughout the home and relax on the furniture when that is allowed in their own home. I do my best to maintain their normal routines and boundaries while providing a safe, loving, and stress-free environment.

About: I’ve been a lifelong dog lover and have lovingly cared for my own pets for many years. I understand how much our pets mean to us—they’re family. I’m dependable, attentive, and enjoy giving dogs the love, attention, exercise, and companionship they need. I’ll treat your pets with the same care and respect I would want for my own. I work a full-time job during the week, but I’m available most weekends and have some weekday afternoons available as well. I’m happy to work with your schedule whenever possible and will always communicate clearly about my availability. I’m dependable and committed to making sure your pup gets the attention and care they deserve. I understand that welcoming someone into your home to care for your pet requires a lot of trust. I’ll treat your home with the same respect and care I would want for my own. I’ll always follow your instructions, keep doors and gates secure, and make sure your pet is safe and comfortable throughout every visit. I’ll also provide updates when appropriate so you can have peace of mind knowing your pet and home are in good hands.

About: I have been dogsitting & catsitting for several years now. I am looking to for more opportunities to do so. I am excited to take care of your pet while you are away! I work full time but I have a flexible schedule. I am able to sit for your pet any day of the week and able to check on them throughout the day. I will primarily be dogsitting or cat sitting at my client’s home rather than bringing a pet back to my home. I think it would be best for the pet to be in their home environment.

“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!”

“Kristen went above and beyond for our kitty who had some tummy troubles while we were away. I was confident my kitty was loved and played with while we were gone. And I appreciate the level of care she provided.”

Shea A.

“Courtney was very responsible with our cat Tallulah. She was on time and took care of feedings. She was kind and worked to get our shy cat some relief from her anxiety. I felt comfortable with her in our home and will definitely reach out to engage Courtney again.”

About: I have loved animals ever since I knew what one first was! My family was active in animal rescue and it is something I kept dear to my heart all my life. I’ve actively worked with local rescues as a foster and transport for decades. I have babysat numerous pets for people over the years & I thoroughly enjoy it. I love getting to know each special little personality & instilling peace in the owners, knowing their beloved fur baby will be taken the very best care of. I have four animals & they are my absolute joys. I will treat your pet as part of my family in your absence & look forward to hearing more about your pets individual needs & personality! Whether it’s in your home, my home, daily walks, doggy playtime, & dog sitting, I can take care of it all & put your mind to ease this holiday season while traveling to & from loved ones homes. Please let me know how I can be the best pet sitter for your fur baby! I work at a local Elementary School and summer starts Monday, May 26th. I have chosen to rejoin Rover for the next couple of months throughout my summer break to bring in extra income. I will make your pet my top priority! I have 3 cats and 1 dog who are all inside pets. I do have a fenced in backyard that my dog enjoys on occasion. I am not a stickler when it comes to animals sitting on my furniture or in my bed @ night. I have crate trained many animals, as well. I have many years of experience helping numerous animals, together or separately. If your pet would be staying with me my cats will not be an issue. My dog is extremely friendly but also, does not have to be there during your pets stay, should it be an issue. I offer in home boarding @ my home. I offer walking your dog, doggy daycare, spending time with your cat(s), and any other accommodations that maybe needed.

About: I would love to walk/ hike with your pet, care for it at your home, or drop in to let them out. I have always loved animals ever since I was little. My first job was a pet sitting service, I was frequently asked to watch neighbors dogs, cats, bunnies, fish, etc. My friends often rely on me to take care of their animals while out of town and I have experience with older dogs as well as puppies. My dog passed away earlier this year and I won't be ready for anther dog anytime soon, but I would love to share love with your animals. I work seasonally and am currently off for my winter season. I would love to spend time with your animals either at your home or on walks/hikes! I can not watch pets in my own home but in my client's home I make sure to follow their rules and ask the important questions up front. I make sure to not leave pets alone too long and to be there for feeding times and to keep them company at night.

About: I have animal experience in a shelter setting and in a medical setting. I’m currently working at a veterinary office as a kennel attendant. I’m also able to administer medications orally or via injections. I work from 8-6, but I get a two hour lunch. I’m able to drop in and check on animals in the mornings, on my lunch break and after work. I’m always mindful of an animals mood and try to adjust accordingly. If there’s treats, toys or routine that make an animal comfortable the that’s what I try to follow.

About: Hi! I’m Emily, and dogs have been part of my life for as long as I can remember. I grew up in a family where our dogs were truly family members, and my first job at 11 years old was walking my neighbors’ dogs. Since then, I’ve cared for dogs of all ages, sizes, and personalities—including puppies, senior dogs, and pets that need medication or extra attention. As a Rover customer myself, I understand how hard it can be to leave your dog with someone else. That’s why I treat every dog as if they were my own. My goal is to give you complete peace of mind while you’re away. I’m home full-time, so your dog will receive plenty of attention, exercise, playtime, and affection throughout the day. My own dog, Ollie, loves making new friends, and we stick to a structured routine with multiple walks, enrichment activities, and lots of cuddle time. I maintain a clean, safe environment and can follow your dog’s regular schedule, dietary needs, medications, and any special instructions. I always make sure to have a clean environment so the dogs can’t get into anything that would be harmful to them. They will get at least 4 walks a day and one trip to the fenced in dog park behind my complex if weather permits.

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!
