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.

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.

Gumball managed to get out of the house and Hannah made an extra trip to find him. She managed to secure his exit means so he couldn’t escape again. Cat is resourceful.

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!

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.

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! ❤️

About: I have been taking care of dogs for years and have always had them in my home growing up. Unfortunately, in a small apartment, I can’t have my own right now but would love to walk and care for all the pups! I am a full time student with a relatively flexible schedule for walking/ check ins with pups during the week and weekends! I am generally more free in the afternoons, but can do some mornings! I promise to take care of the pets just like they are my own! I know how important and a part of the family our pets are and will care for them as such.

Amy is absolutely amazing, especially if you want peace of mind with your fur babies. She made our boy (male cat) feel comfortable and happy. She even got him to finish his wet food which he rarely does. We loved the pictures she sent us. We cannot wait to book her again!

About: I have grown up with animals my entire life. Caring for animals has been my life long ambition. I understand the importance of trusting someone to care for your fur babies. My fiancé And I love training and exercising with them every day and they push us to be the best we can be. They bring so much joy and happiness to our life. I have 5 years experience pet sitting for friends and family as well. They are the support system that told me about this app. Work from home but it’s not very demanding. Extremely flexible schedule. Pets need routines just as much as humans do for a sense of calm and safety. To continue to keep your (our) fur baby safe I will keep trash cans covered or inside a latched cabinet. Move all chemicals to high shelves or behind secure doors. Keep cords, chargers, and other potentially harmful items out of reach.

About: I currently have a Havanese and a Cavalier. I've had golden retrievers, maine coons, lovebirds, and even a toucan. I've had experience training puppies and medicating older animals. I’m dependable, patient, and genuinely enjoy spending time with animals of all kinds. Pet care fits naturally into my schedule because I have a flexible routine and genuinely enjoy making time for animals. I’m able to plan my day around walks, feeding schedules, playtime, and check-ins, and I’m committed to giving pets consistent attention and care rather than rushing through visits. I’m reliable, responsive, and understand how important it is for pets to maintain a comfortable routine while their owners are away. I care for pets in their home by following their normal routine as closely as possible so they feel comfortable, safe, and stress-free while their owner is away. I make sure they receive plenty of attention, exercise, playtime, fresh food and water, and any specific care instructions provided by the owner. I’m attentive to each pet’s personality and needs, whether that means active walks and play or a calmer, more relaxed environment.

About: I look forward to spending time with every animal that I care for! Ever since losing my own dog in 2020, nothing brings me more joy than being able to care for and love on others' pets! I love going for walks or just sitting and spending quality time with pets. I am a college student so my schedule tends to fluctuate! However, I usually have availability that those with other jobs may not! I tend to do lunch time visits or overnight visits for pet care. I am open to any and all of your pet care needs! I care for pets as if they were my own. If I stay at someone's house, I abide by their household rules and make sure to keep their pets on schedule. Pets are my priority!

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.

I have never left my dog with anyone she doesn't know, but I immediately felt comfortable with Kadence.
