“First time using Rover and was so pleased with how helpful Kyle has been. He was fantastic with our cats for an entire week and followed my instructions beautifully. Highly recommend Kyle and will be using him for our future cat-sitting needs 😻😻”
“Saraelizabeth was absolutely amazing with both our dog and cat! She always worked out ways to keep them engaged even if the weather was bad and even got our grumpy elderly cat to come up and love on her and play with her so she is a total cat whisperer. Even all the crazy energy our dog has didn’t deter her and we are so happy we trusted her with our pets while we were on vacation.”
“Sarah is incredible! She is always on time and patient with my shy pup. She also helped me after a last minute flight cancellation and watched my dog for an additional day. Highly recommend!”
“Hannah was great and communicated well throughout, especially when there was an unexpected complication during her services. The cats were well cared for and house left clean. Will be using her again in the future.”
About: I have been taking care of pets since I was in middle school. From small cats to big dogs, I have been trusted by many neighbors, friends, and family to take care of and watch their pets! I am in Birmingham, Alabama this summer for a part-time theatre contract. I watch and walk pets before my daily rehearsals at 6pm! Weekend times vary. I have always been a high energy individual. If your dog loves to run and play, I am the perfect person for them! I also love to chill and cuddle with the lower energy pets.
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 started dog walking & house sitting for neighbors when I was around 10, and since then I’ve only continued to care for animals for whoever my “regulars” recommend me to. I have experience with anything from needy doggies to old cats needing medication. I’m in an internship 40 hours/week, but I am happy to check on pets before & after the work day or on weekends when I’m around! When I’m home with pets, I love to give them pets, play, and go on walks, depending on their needs. I am an animal LOVER, so they will not miss out on any attention while you’re away.
About: I am an absolute animal lover and have lived with animals since I was 16! I love getting outside and playing with dogs or walking them, and staying in and cuddling or caring for little cats. I have worked closely with animals making sure they’re doing well and taken care of throughout college :) I will also always provide silly and fun videos and pics of the animals throughout their time with me!! I’m currently a graduate student at UAB with very flexible hours. I am walking distance from my work so I can always check back in whenever necessary! I also have a little camera set up in my apartment which can check on the animals as needed :) I am always spending the night in my own apartment and will usually be at work on weekdays from 8:30-4 When I am taking care of pets I make sure anything that could be harmful to them is put up and out of reach! I know some animals can be a little finicky and have some storage where I know they wouldn’t be able to reach. I also have a security camera in my apartment which I can access to check on the animals as necessary!
“Amy was absolutely INCREDIBLE with my two cats! She took such excellent care of them over my longer trip and it gave me such peace of mind. She was professional and kind, and gave them lots of play time and snuggles. The best sitter we have ever had!”
About: I have experience caring for my now senior cat and my Chihuahua. As someone who loves animals, I enjoy offering attentive and loving care to furry companions! I am a current full-time doctoral student at the University of Alabama at Birmingham. As a student, I can easily work around my weekday schedule to incorporate pet care. I am also open to overnight pet sitting if requested. When caring for your pets in your home, I will ensure they are watched after and will provide them with affection and attention. I can walk your dog(s) around your neighborhood if the weather permits and will ensure that they are let outside to use the restroom throughout the day. For owners who use potty pads for dogs or litter boxes for cats, I have experience cleaning up after both and will ensure this is taken care of.
“Grace was such a great sitter/friend to my Benji especially with such short notice! She was such a great communicator and she was very responsive and receptive to my instructions. She sent photos from her visits and engaged well with Benj! I would highly recommend recommend her to care for any of your furry kiddos! ❤️”
“Adrianna was prompt, professional, attentive and overall WONDERFUL. She was focused and detailed on her task, while at the same time being personable with our Cesar. He was excited to see her daily and awaiting her services. Will definitely utilize her services again and again”
About: I grew up with a cat of 14 years and later my family adopted a husky which stole our hearts! Since, I have cared for not only my sisters set of 2 beautiful golden retrievers since they were brought home but other dogs of clients and I currently live with a cat! I am currently a 4th year medical student at UAB. My clinical rotation schedule currently is extremely light for the month of February I after 12 PM. And through March April in the first half of May, I am pretty much fully free. Under my care, pets will be brought outside for a potty breaks or a walk only on a safe leash. No dogs will be brought anywhere near roads or construction where they could get injured.
About: I have taken care of dogs of all ages since I was about 12 years old. I am very responsible and will treat yours like my own! I work full-time from home, so my schedule is very flexible and I will have plenty of time for walks and snuggles. I live an apartment that is tucked in a neighborhood, so beautiful walks are right outside my door! I live an apartment that is tucked in a neighborhood, so beautiful walks are right outside my door! I do not currently have pets of my own, so there is no worry about getting along with other pets in the home.
“Gage is so great with my pups. I feel so comfortable when I go out of town because of the peace of mind I have knowing they are in good hands. Appreciate his availability last minute this last time I needed him! I wish to use him everytime I go out of town if he is available! Can't say enough good things about him!”
About: I have taken care of dogs as well as other pets for as long as I can remember. From walking dogs, to feeding mice I have done it all. I have had lots of dogs at my house before because of family events or people we know that have asked our family to take care of their dogs for them while they're gone. I really can do it all when it comes to pets. I can handle big dogs too since I'd say I am a bigger and stronger dude. I am currently a student at UAB and don't have classes on a few days and am available as of now. The weekends work great for me to pet sit, walk, feed, or do any other tasks for people's dogs as well. I take care of pets with extreme care as if they were my own. I always make sure my pets at home are well fed, taken care of, and overall just happy! I have lots of experience with pets and like I have said above I can do it all!

Hannah did a great job taking care of my boys! This is my second time booking with her and I will definitely be booking again for future care. Hannah does a great job communicating, letting me feel at ease that my cats have the best possible care while I’m away.
Grace was an incredible addition to our home while we were away. She consistently posted updates and photos of our cats, which made me feel so much better about being away from them. She is reliable, trustworthy, and clearly cares deeply for the pets she watches. She kept them well fed, maintained the litter box, and gave us total peace of mind while we traveled. I would absolutely recommend Grace to anyone looking for someone to take great care of their pets.
Julianna was on time, kind, and patient with our cat. He is very timid around new people and we appreciate that she took her time with him and took care of his needs. This was the longest we’ve been away from our cat and we could tell he was doing well with each photo and feedback received!
Wilfredo took such great care of my kitties! He sent me thoughtful, thorough updates each day, spent time playing with them, and introduced them to KittyTV. He’s very nice, and my cats seemed really comfortable with him. I was on a longer trip than usual and it was a relief to know they were being so well looked after.
From the beginning, we knew Laura would be a fantastic match to watch our 2 kitties while we were out of town. She took the best care and the best photos too!! We cannot recommend Laura enough!! She did great with their feeding schedule and administering their medications. We will definitely be booking with her again! Top notch care!!! Thank you, Laura! 💜💜💜
We had a great experience with Liuwenji caring for our indoor–outdoor cat, RJ, over 4 days. She was always on time, kept in touch proactively, and sent thoughtful updates that made us feel secure and comfortable from start to finish. RJ’s routine was respected, his food/water/litter were handled perfectly, and it was clear he got attention and care—not just checkboxes. We came home to a happy cat and peace of mind. We’d book Liuwenji again without hesitation!
Kaylee made going out of town so much less stressful knowing my babies would be well taken care of! She provided photos everyday and I really loved hearing her in depth updates on how they were doing. I absolutely would recommend her to anyone who needs a pet sitter.
