“Sogol just watched our senior dog for six nights while we were on vacation. She was extremely helpful from the moment we reached out and kept us informed with messages and photos throughout the stay. She is very personable and warm and has a clear love for animals. We will absolutely use her again in the future!”
“I had an amazing experience with Kadi! She was incredibly friendly, reliable, and showed so much love to my dog. Her communication was great and she sent regular photo updates which we loved. My dog came home happy and ready for a nap. I would refer her to anyone!”
“Very pleased with her friendly and family approach to pet sitting. It was a sort stay, but our dog appeared right at home. I'll never use a kennel again, especially when we can find sitters like La Tasha!”
“Sathyagopal and his family took such great care of Cosmo! Cosmo went on walks, played fetch, and got lots of pats. We got sweet updates and photos, and Sathyagopal made sure Cosmo got his medication.”
“We couldn’t have asked for a better sitter in Whitley! Our dog, Pepper, had the best time and was so well cared for. The communication was fantastic, and we loved knowing she got to play with Ollie the whole time—they became the best of friends! We’ll absolutely have Pepper stay again. Highly recommend!”
“This was our second time using Kate for dog sitting and everything was great. She provides pick up and drop off services too which is so helpful and appreciated. Definitely look forward to booking again in the future.”
“I highly recommend Kelly ! She did an awesome job keeping me posted about our dog. Sending me videos and pictures. Updating me with his ear infection and applying his Zymox ear drops twice a day . I am so happy with her care. My puppy will definitely going to miss her and Suzie ( her dog )”
“Alex and Georgi took great care of Haji. They sent long updates of what they did with Haji and how Haji was doing every day, with terrific photos. They walked Haji for 3 to 4 miles most days in the freezing snowy Michigan weather. Also the drop off and pick up time are really flexible so I don't have to do everything in a hurry. I just texted Georgi five mins before I went pick Haji up and there Haji was playing outside their apartment! Thank you and I will come back to you guys if needed in the future!”
“Andrew & Linh did an outstanding job keeping me posted with Ruby’s care throughout her stay with comments, pics and videos! This was my first time having them watch her, and I will definitely ask again if I’m out of town!”
“Miranda and Erica provided a truly loving home for Honey. Always a good sign when your dog wants to stay and not get into the car. Having a fenced back yard was a real treat for Honey. But all the cuddles she got was the highlight. We will definitely book again.”
About: As both a lifelong dog owner and a healthcare professional, I bring compassion, responsibility, and attention to detail to every pet I care for. Growing up with dogs — and now being completely obsessed with my own — has taught me how important routine, safety, and genuine affection are. My background in healthcare means I’m dependable, highly attentive, and comfortable handling special instructions or medical needs. Your pet’s well-being and comfort will always be my top priority. Your dog will be treated like family, with the same love, patience, and attention I give my own. I currently have a hybrid work schedule I would be gone working Monday-Wednesday for up to 4 hours total in the mornings between 8am and 12pm but home with dogs the rest of the day after that. I work fully remote Thursdays and Fridays and then home all weekend. If I do have to leave or run errands I make sure dogs are not alone for too long and have never left my dog alone for more than 5 hours max. I have a large fenced in yard and 2 dogs who love to run and play. There is no furniture that is off limits, dogs are allowed anywhere they would like. Caring for the pet would mean working around the dogs schedule and routine. Dog would receive lots of exercise, treats and cuddles.
“Queeny took real good care of our friend Luka. She took him to walks and gave us updates everyday on how he's been doing. So we were not worried at all. I know he has good time with Queeny and her family. We can say now Luka really found another home for him when we are traveling.”
“We left our dog two times with Tory and her family already and we will contact them again in the future. Prompt communication, always keep you updated. They took good care of my dog. He always comes back exhausted, which is good.”
About: Helped watch family pets in the past both cats and dogs and knows the basics of pet care such as feeding, bathroom and slight grooming care During the weekdays before 9:00 am and after 6:30 works best (Fridays after 5:30 work) Can check in during 12:30 to 1:30 for check ins, weekends are full time available Can watch pets in the home, first and foremost care goes to the pet and it is my first priority when it comes the safety and care of the pet
“Carolina was absolutely fantastic! Hazel loved her time there. She was happy and tired (in a great way) when we picked her up. Carolina had excellent communication and took Hazel for a nice walk in the neighborhood, her favorite thing to do. Am definitely using Carolina again!”
“Outstanding stay with Ash. Right from the beginning he was great with Ace and safely had him meet another dog he was boarding . Throughout the stay he kept me well informed with pictures and texts , and he constantly took him for walks and provided great care. Would recommend and will use again!”
About: Looking for a safe, loving, and playful place for your pup while you’re at work or running errands, or holiday? We only host a maximum of 2 dogs at a time, which means your fur baby will get personal attention, care, and love, not a crowded daycare vibe. Your pup will also have the best playmate, our 1.5-year-old Husky, Chabella, who is full of energy, super friendly, and always ready for a game of chase or tug. Dogs love her, and she’ll make sure your dog feels like part of the pack from the very first sniff! I work remotely, and my wife works hybrid, so there’s always someone home to keep an eye on the pups. We truly see our dog as our baby, and we’ll treat yours with the same respect, love, and care. What sets us apart: Small group (max 2 dogs) = more love & attention Built-in furry friend (Chabella the Husky!) Flexible drop-off & pick-up times. If you’re looking for a home away from home where your pup will be safe, loved, and entertained – we’d love to welcome them into our pack! I work remotely and my wife works hybrid, so we have the time and flexibility to help with your dogs. We can also do boardings while you are out of town. We have a fenced yard and a playful husky still a puppy of 2 years old full of energy and in need of more friends!
“Gabrielle is a real dog lover! We felt she genuinely enjoyed having our dog stay with her. She did an excellent job sending photos, keeping us updated, and responding to us. We loved that she has a fenced in backyard and also has a sweet dog herself - the 2 dogs got along beautifully! We're so glad we found Gabrielle!”

Olivia was so incredibly sweet and patient with Nala! She went above and beyond by meeting with me several times before our trip to make sure Nala felt as comfortable as possible in a new environment. She also communicated frequently throughout the weekend and sent plenty of updates and pictures, which gave me so much peace of mind while we were away. I truly couldn’t have asked for a better person to care for my girl! Olivia’s love for animals is so evident, and I’m so grateful we found her. I would recommend her to anyone looking for someone who will treat their pet with genuine love, patience, and care! ❤️🐾
Krystle was so great and patient with my dog Dobby. He was really scared of going down her stairs, and it took over an hour to get him comfortable enough to go up and down with confidence. Krystle was patient and kept a positive attitude the whole time. I cannot thank her enough for being so good to him! Would recommend 10/10.
Susan and her husband Alan are amazing! They took incredible care of our two dogs, gave them so much love & attention and provided tons of cute updates frequently throughout my dogs’ stay. It was so comforting knowing my dogs were in excellent hands! I can’t imagine leaving my pups anywhere else!
This is the first time we availed Anirudh Sai for our pet. Our pet settled well with them and We also felt very comfortable after our initial visit with them. The bonding was mutual between them & our pet. He shared pictures and videos and updated us about his stay. We would recommend them and will be using their services in near future.
I cannot recommend Irv highly enough! From the very beginning, his organized nature and flexibility made the entire booking and drop-off process a breeze. He made sure to keep us fully updated before the stay even began, which gave us so much peace of mind right out of the gate. During the stay, Irv’s attention to detail truly shined. He sent consistent, thorough updates and photos, showing exactly how well he was taking care of Daisy. It was clear that she was in fantastic hands, getting plenty of love, and having a great time. If you’re looking for a reliable, attentive, and communicative sitter, Irv is your guy. We would absolutely book with him again!
"I am so glad I found her to watch Simba! She provided amazing in-home care, took him out for great walks, and sent wonderful photo updates that gave me complete peace of mind. She is incredibly reliable and professional. I felt so relieved knowing Simba was safe and happy in his own home. I will definitely be booking her again!"
Heidi was my first sitter using Rover and made it a super easy and reassuring experience for both me and Reese! She was so great at sending photos, letting me know how she was doing with fun updates, and made sure that Reese was enjoying herself all weekend. Winston is also a great dog-host and so sweet to help host!

Preparing for drop-off is easy when you have a checklist! To help your dog settle into their Birmingham home-away-from-home, packing:
- Health and safety essentials such as their ID tags, vaccination records, medication, and emergency vet or secondary caregiver contacts.
- Food and gear such as harnesses, collars, food (portioned by day), and an item that smells like you.
- Special instructions such as a list of training cues, medical administration needs, or favorite hang-out spots in your Birmingham.
<b>Tip:</b> You can upload your dog’s routine and medical info directly onto their profile so your sitter always has the details at their fingertips.

For extra peace of mind, you can also prepare an authorization form for your regular vet. An authorization form outlines your preferred method of care and allows your sitter to bring your pet into their regular clinic.
