“Carla Joy was great to work with! I always try to find sitters who are comfortable with giving injected medicine and she was already an expert. I was so happy to leave my diabetic cat in such great care! Great pictures and communication while I was gone, came home to a happy cat. Will definitely book again!”
“Sarah was absolutely fantastic. My dog is extremely shy and she took the time to get to know Weller and make him as comfortable as possible. Sarah was also incredibly attentive and noticed Weller’s ear irritation which I’m so thankful for. This has been my first experience with Rover and Sarah is definitely my go to now!”
About: I’ve had a pup in my household my whole life and I began walking and dog sitting for others in 2020. I have taken classes on pet and animal CPR. I am very caring and will taken great and extra care of your animal! Currently working a part time job and I am about to start a second one. I’m available for your pets in the mornings and early afternoons on weekdays with the possibility on weekends depending on work. On days that I am off I can accommodate multiple walks and/ or check ins. I have a medium sized dog who’s 2 years old at home, as well as a small 15lb pup. I listen well to instructions and take precautions if needed. I do not offer services for your dog to come to my home, however I will care for your dogs with the same quality.
“Kiley was fantastic with our dogs! She was consistent with checking on them in the time frame requested, did a great job letting us know if there were any questions that came up, and gave helpful updates with each check-in.”
“Wil did such a WONDERFUL job watching my cat. He was amazing at communicating, shared photos of my pet and an update on her behaviors each visit, and he remembered all of the instructions to a T. I would work with him again in a heartbeat. He’s a real professional and it’s clear that he loves caring for pets. 5/5 stars!”
“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.”
“Hannah was a fantastic cat sitter! I had never hired someone to watch my cats before, just relied on friends/family. She was so great at communicating and it completely reduced my anxiety. She was responsible and conscientious with my home. I would definitely hire her again!”
“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.”
“Amy was wonderful coming to let my dog out and take care of her while I was at work! She sent me lots of pictures and was very receptive to all instructions. She also had an incredible response time and made me feel very up-to-date on everything that was happening. Would definitely book with her again!”
“Lucinda and Colton were very responsive when it came to booking last minute. They communicated throughout the drop in visits and made me feel like my dog was in good hands. They were on time for every visit and they even reached out when they thought my dog wasn’t eating as he normally would. I will definitely be booking with them again.”
About: I've taken care of multiple breeds, ages, sizes and temperaments of dogs. I love taking them on walks or playing with them to help keep them active and entertained. I've owned dogs for most of my life and look forward to taking care of yours how you would yourself! I'm currently working part-time and have an open schedule, so I'm happy to look after your pup on relatively short notice. With enough heads up, I am happy to make my way to your dog and give them the attention they need! I can easily work with crating your pet how you see fit and am adept at handling different dog behaviors. If there's any part of the house that needs to be restricted from the dog, I'm able to accommodate. I also have experience with medicine administration for pets who need them as well.
About: I truly enjoy creating a calm, loving environment where your animals feel at home. I know how important it is to trust someone with your furry family member, and I treat every pet I care for like one of my own:) Currently a third year medical student at UABHSOM who is always looking for a furry friend to be around and take study breaks with! I love incorporating walks, playtime, and rest into my daily routine with the pets I take care of. When caring for pets in a client’s home, I am to maintain their normal routine as closely as possible! I want to take the time to learn yours and your pet’s preferences and give them the care they deserve while keeping your life stress free!
