“Barrie loved my dog so well! He had lots of love and attention and was so happy when I came to pick him up. Will definitely rebook when I am in Birmingham again.”
“Katherine watched my pooch Bella and with every picture she texted me, Bella looked very excited, happy and loved while we were away for the Mother's Day weekend at that! Thank you soooo very much Katherine for watching Bella for me! I will definitely keep you as my puppy sitter! You were absolutely wonderful!! 🤗”
“I had to take a last minute trip out of state and used Rover for the first time. I chose Libby and she was absolutely wonderful. She was easy to book last minute and she took good care of my fur babies. I have a 9 year old Samoyed/Husky mix and a 6 month old Samoyed. She was very responsive and sent the best pictures and videos of my babies. I highly recommend her and I will definitely book with Libby again in the future.”
“Cody watched our dog for a pretty long time while we were away. He made our pup feel right at home the entire time as we could tell from all the consistent updates and pictures! He got plenty of walks, playtime, and some lazy time on the couch of course! Cody was responsive and easy to communicate with. We were so glad to have a sitter we could depend on while traveling. Cody is the best!”
“Tatiana went above and beyond taking care of my fur baby! I received lots of photos each night she is was with her. She was also excellent and prompt with any and all communications. We will definitely book with her again!”
“Brittney was so accommodating, and sent lots of great updates/pictures! She was very responsive to messages throughout the stay. This was my first time having anyone watch my puppy and I am highly satisfied - will rebook!”
“Shelby was such a great dog sitter for our dog! She sent the best pictures of him enjoying his stay and kept us updated with him on our long weekend trip. Her dogs seemed to be super friendly too and played with ours so we know he was in good hands the whole time!”
“Wade and Morgan are AMAZING!! This was the longest I have ever left my pup so I was very nervous about being away from him but they made the entire experience effortless. They sent me picture updates every single day if not twice a day! My dog seemed to not want to leave their house and I could tell that he was very happy and very very well taken care of. I would recommend them to anyone who asks and I will definitely be booking with them again in the future! Thank you so so much Wade and Morgan I appreciate you guys more than you know!”
“Jonathan and his family were great! We will definitely be requesting them as a new regular. Very friendly, helped us out and allowed us to extend our boarding for an additional night at last minute, sent updates and pictures, and made sure our dog had plenty of exercise!”
“I love her!! She took care of Thor as of he was at home. I am so grateful that after a really bad stay he was able to be himself and she was able to experience my sweet boy and they were able to love on each other. The art project she did is the cutest, I put it on my fridge. She is absolutely amazing!!”
“Doug did an amazing job with our puppy. He was very gentle and kind with her. It was our first time using Rover and first time leaving her for the weekend and I can honestly say I didn’t worry a bit. Highly recommend Doug and hope to use his services again.”
“Ghost had the most fun at her house!! He swam (for the first time) and played his heart out. He was so tired when he came back home and I love that. Rachel was so nice and ghost looked sad when he started leaving!! Highly recommend he will stay again”
“Danielle is the absolute best, and I’ll hear nothing to the contrary. This was my first time using Rover, and the sitter I originally booked cancelled on me morning of, but Danielle accepted our last minute request on a holiday weekend. I have an old dog with arthritis and medication who can be a picky eater at times, but that was no issue for Danielle. She not only made me feel at ease with constant updates and pictures, but she exercised and socialized him, and he may like her more than me now. My only regrets with this review are that everyone else will book her now and she’ll be unavailable next time we need boarding for a weekend”
“Jessica was great! We got pictures every day and a video too! We could tell she made our old girl comfortable and happy in a new environment. She also has a one level house with no stairs to the backyard which is great for dogs with arthritis. We will definitely use her again next time we go out of town!”
“This is a repeat stay for us and just as wonderful! as before! Eloise is well taken care of and we get lots of daily pictures and updates. Harold is so thoughtful and I don’t feel nervous leaving her with him at all. She probably misses him when she’s back at home😂.”
“Laderius and his family were available for last minute boarding. They kept me updated with regular photos and messages. If you’re looking for someone reliable, kind, and trustworthy to care for your pet, this is the right family. I’ll definitely be reaching out to them again in the future!”

Highly recommend! She took such amazing care of my baby while I was away. From the moment I dropped him off, I felt completely at peace knowing he was in such loving and responsible hands. She treated him like her own, kept me updated, and made sure he was comfortable and happy the entire time. I’m truly grateful for the care and attention she gave him. I will definitely be booking with her again!
Milo had such a great time with La Timberly! 🐾 I could tell he was genuinely happy and comfortable the whole time. She kept me updated with lots of pictures and videos, which I really appreciated, and she was always super responsive whenever I checked in. It made being away so much easier knowing he was in such good hands. I’d absolutely trust her with Milo again!
I had a wonderful experience with Barrie. Taking care of two dogs isn’t always easy, but everything went very smoothly. Communication was clear and prompt, and I received regular updates and photos, which really put our minds at ease while I was away. It was obvious that my dogs were well cared for and comfortable. I truly appreciate the care and responsibility, and would definitely book again in the future.
I highly recommend Jimbo as a pet sitter. He went above and beyond to take care of my puppy Ginger for 7 days, even giving her a cute outfit and spoiling her with love and attention. He also provided daily updates and videos of Ginger playing in the dog park, which put my mind at ease while I was away. I was completely satisfied with his service and will definitely be recommending him to others in need of a trustworthy and caring pet sitter.
