“Sarina was awesome! She sent updates and pictures of our pups daily and they had so much fun with her! Leaving your pets is hard, but I’m so glad we had Sarina to make it easier! We are first time Rover users and she was also very helpful on how to use the app and even came for a meet and greet beforehand! We will definitely try to use her next time!”


“Loved having Falisia watch our girls! She is friendly and thoughtful, and we felt comfortable having her in our home with our dogs. I will definitely be reaching out to her again in the future!”

About: Hi! I’m Jenn — a lifelong animal lover with years of experience caring for both dogs and cats of all sizes and personalities. I have two fur babies of my own — Moxxi, a sweet lab mix, and Obi, a gentle Staffordshire terrier mix — both rescues with big hearts and friendly personalities. I offer drop-in visits, dog walking, and house sitting so your pets can feel safe, loved, and relaxed in their own familiar space. I’m able to provide frequent potty breaks and can tailor visits around your pet’s unique routine. Whether your pet needs extra playtime, medication, or just a little extra TLC, I’ll be there to care for them like one of my own. You’ll receive regular photo updates and quick responses while you’re away — I know how important peace of mind is when it comes to our furry family members. If your pet has special needs, training cues, or specific routines, I’m happy to follow them closely to help your pet feel at ease. Your fur baby will be treated with patience, love, and a little extra spoiling 🐾 My schedule is flexible, which allows me to offer consistent care throughout the day. I’m available for potty breaks, walks, check-ins, and overnight stays depending on what your pet needs. When caring for pets in their own home, I prioritize keeping their routine consistent, their environment calm, and their safety top of mind. I always follow your instructions closely — whether it’s feeding, medications, potty breaks, or playtime — and make sure doors, gates, and crates are secure before I leave. I approach each pet with patience, respect, and lots of love, tuning into their unique personality and needs. Whether your pet is energetic, shy, or somewhere in between, I aim to create a peaceful, predictable experience that helps them feel safe and cared for while you’re away. You’ll also receive regular updates so you always know how your pet is doing — because trust and communication matter just as much as belly rubs. 🐶💛

“Gabe was awesome and took great care of my Nala girl as well as my home during my last minute trip. I received multiple check-ins with pictures daily that really added to my peace of mind. Highly recommend!”


About: I’ve have kennel experience and veterinary assistant experience. I’ve been in the veterinary field for the past 5 years. I love all kinds of fur babies. I can do additional nail trims, anal gland expression and ear cleaning I’m usually free on the weekends I work 9 hour days five days a week. I can pet sit during the week hours will just defer than they would on the weekend. I care for pets in my household pretty well. I have a fenced in acre of land that my dogs have full access to all of the time. I can do walks or trips to the park. Nail trims, anal gland expressions, and clean ears. I am experienced with medicating animals and caring for animals with medical issues

“This was the first time we used Rover, and we are thrilled. Arthur and Stephanie are excellent with our two Crazy dogs. This was a one-night test run, and it went off without a hitch. Now we are confident that our boys are in the right hands when we go away in the future. Even our grumpy, curmudgeon of a Border Collie, Kenai, doesn't generally warm up to people so quickly, but he slept with Stephanie! We are lucky to have found the perfect people to care for our dogs on the first try.”


About: I've taken care of dogs since I was little, I have family, friends and others that can rely on me to pet sit and care for all their pets. I have great references and reviews and love working with animals. I also work on training for puppies and dogs and senior care dogs. I'm currently self employed and have plenty of time to love and care for your pets! I am available most of the daytime and some of the night. I can come to your own home and care for your pets. It would be less stressful for the pet to stay in a place they know and I will take very great care of him/her!

“Alyssa is absolutely the BEST! She goes above and beyond for your baby. Our sweet Pig Pig adores her and we have even booked again for this weekend! We are so blessed to have Miss Alyssa as she is extremely loving and compassionate towards the babies. She is an angel and Pig Pig misses her already!”


About: I have over three years experience of volunteering at a pet clinic, as well as owning everything from a Standard poodle to tea cup Chihuahua! I am a full time college student at The University of Alabama, and living most of my time in Tuscaloosa, BUT on Christmas and other longer breaks I change my location to my hometown in Warrior Alabama, please reach out with questions regarding dates and locations! I have a fenced in yard, harnesses, and daily walks. We always keep the TV on so they do not feel lonely while we’re at work, along with constant trips to the dog park.

“Emily was excellent. She kept in touch to let me know that my babies were doing well and I really appreciated all of the photos. The house was immaculate when we arrived home. She did everything we asked her to do and more. I would not hesitate at all to recommend her (as long as it does not interfere with my travel plans :)) at all. I fully intend to employ Emily in the future to care for my babies.”


About: I have 3 wonderful pups of my own and have had pets my entire life! I only recently started watching other people's pets but I love it! I have taken care of dogs with extra needs. Large dogs will be on a case by case basis. My schedule is pretty open at the moment! I am extremely flexible with time. If anything changes in my schedule I will notify you. I am willing to do weekdays and weekends. I have a fenced in backyard if pets are to be boarded at my home. I have two dogs that are crate trained so I do have experience with that.

“Stevie and Angel were great. She was professional and friendly at the meet and greet and sent me regular updates and pics of the dogs while I was away. I came back to a clean house and (more importantly) happy and healthy dogs!”


About: I bring a broad range of pet care experience, including raising kittens, fostering strays until they were rehomed, and caring for pets of all ages—from playful puppies to senior animals with special needs. What sets me apart is my patience, attentiveness, and genuine love for animals, which allows me to provide personalized care tailored to each pet’s unique personality and requirements. I’m comfortable with all types of pets, not just cats and dogs, and I’m committed to creating a safe, calm, and loving environment while their owners are away. I’m a nanny, so my schedule is very flexible, allowing me to accommodate a variety of pet sitting needs such as daily visits, walks, feeding, and playtime. However, I prefer not to provide overnight boarding services in my own home. I’m happy to work around your schedule to ensure your pet receives consistent, reliable care while you’re away. When caring for pets in my home, safety and comfort are my top priorities. I live on an acre of fenced-in land with a privacy fence, providing plenty of secure space for pets to play and explore without risk of escape. I prefer to provide pet care in the client’s home to ensure pets remain comfortable and in familiar surroundings. I prioritize safety by carefully following each owner’s instructions and giving there fur friend plenty of time to explore and exercise (walks, playing with toys, etc.)


“Carley was wonderful watching our dogs! Our dogs are normally stressed when we go on trips, but they were very relaxed when we came back with Carley staying with them. She sent great pictures and really showered love on them. ?”


About: I grew up on a farm and I enjoyed feeding, petting and carrying for injuries of dogs, cats and horses. I have 5 horses and 4 dogs at present and I'm looking to do what I love with your baby or babies. I always have safety in mind, always keeping a potential problem from ever arising.. Your baby would be right in my home with me or your home if preferred. I'm a homemaker, pet care giver of my animals, I also keep my grandpup at times for my daughter. I'm a 59 year old female that has time her hands and would love to do what I love for others that can't. I live away from a main road, have 15 acres, I have one crate for my grandpup if she out I need it, but she usually hangs out in my home with my inside dog and they play a lot. I can take her out to potty on a leash or let her be loose, she has graduated from the leash to being loose. So careful with her because that's my daughters baby, I would be like that with yours. I know puppies have to go out frequently to potty and keep them right there with me as close as possible.
