House Sitting in Calera

“Was my first time ever using rover and Tara was an absolute gem! Gave me daily updates about my boy and let me know some concerns she had. She even remembered I gave him pancakes on Saturday mornings and brought him some. Could not ask for a better dog sitter, absolutely went above and beyond! I think my Zeus was disappointed when she didn’t come through the door. Will definitely rebook her in the future.”

About: My sister and I fostered all types of dogs and cats through the Greater Birmingham Humane Society since 2020. Since I have moved to Calera, I now assist locally with CHILTON County TNR. As of now, I take care of a dog and cat, which were both rescues. Im currently working Mondays, Wednesdays, and Thursdays, and do remote work Tuesdays and Fridays! I also have availability for weekends, just ask me about specific times! I have a big fenced in backyard with some big trees that allow some good shade. There is also a back porch with an awesome fan because we all get hot in this Alabama heat. I have 2 friendly dogs that can help your dog get some energy out or they can be separated by crates which I can provide, depending on your preference.

“Wendy did a great job. Thank you for taking good care of my girl. Thank you”

“This is probably the fifth time that Ashlyn has watched our three year old golden retriever in our home. She’s just the best!! Our dog adores her, and we have total peace of mind when we’re out of town that she’s being loved and well cared for. Thank you, Ashlyn!”

“Jessie was absolutely incredible while house sitting for us! She had great communication, followed our instructions, and took great care of our dogs! She really set the bar high for dog sitters, and we can’t wait to have her look after our dogs again!”

About: Growing up in a house with lots of animals has taught me how to care for animals with patience, love, and responsibility from a very young age meaning I’m very comfortable handling all kinds of personalities, energy levels, and needs! I truly believe every animal deserves quality time, genuine affection, and attentive care — not just the basics. As a dog mom myself to my sweet (and slightly crazy!) baby, I completely understand how important it is to trust someone with your furry family member. I know how much specific routines, instructions, and little details matter, and I will always make sure your pet feels safe, loved, and comfortable while in my care. Whether your pet needs playtime, cuddles, walks, patience, or extra attention, I’m here for it all. You can relax knowing your baby will be treated like family with me! Skills… - oral medications - any type of extra care - shy/quiet animals - comfortable with hyper, energetic animals - older animals - puppies of any kind - calm under pressure - Excellent communication with owner - pet safety awareness - long walks and active play - gentle handling technique I work at Starbucks so I go by shifts each week! Each week is the exact same shifts so it makes to easy on me and the owner! When can I visit?… (please remember I can be flexible and visit before or after shifts if communicated with!) Monday: 8:00am-12:00pm and 9:30pm-10:30pm Tuesday: 8:00am-10:00pm Wednesday: 8:00am-12:00pm and 9:00pm-10:00pm Thursday: after 4:00pm-8:00pm Friday: after 1:00pm-8:00pm Saturday: after 1:00pm-10:00pm Sunday: from 11:00am-6:00pm Please know your pets care and safety are my utmost responsibility. I understand the need for communication, specific instructions, and genuine care for your animal. I know that if I left my pet in someone else’s care, I would want the utmost respect, patience, gentle-hands, and skills to be applied. And I am more than happy to give that same experience to your baby! I love all types of animals and each personality is different and beautiful. This isn’t just another job for me, it’s a way to help others in a genuine, kind way! From one parent to another, I understand and I would love to work with you! Just communicate what you need me to do and consider it done!

“Meena was the kindest, most caring person I could have ever dreamed up to leave my precious baby with. This was the first time I’ve left him with a “stranger,” but after a meet and greet session before the dogsit, she felt like a longtime friend! I will absolutely be using Meena again. In fact, I already have her booked again for October! Cannot say enough good words about Meena.”

“Emily is AMAZING!! She kept our VERY quirky & needy dog at our hotel while we were in town for a wedding. She was so wonderful to work with…and allowed me to feel 100% at peace knowing that Windsor was being taking care of while we enjoyed my nephew’s rehearsal dinner and wedding!! Great communication…she responded immediately when I texted her…and was wonderful to send me updates and pictures of Windsor!! I HIGHLY recommend Emily if you need someone to care for your pet…she is MAGNIFICENT!! She is a dog whisperer…she quickly and totally understood our very quirky and needy dog and took care of him like he was her own!! ??⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️??”

About: I have had pets in my life since I was 10 years old. It has ranged from cats and dogs to sugar gliders and hamsters. I work a full time job as a teacher but I am able to stay overnight to care for your babies. I have four dogs and three cats at my home I have loved animals for my entire life. I treat them as they are little humans. I love to go out and play fetch with my youngest dog. I love giving my cats the attention they need and want.

About: Ive taken care of animals since I was a child, I volunteer at pet shelters and have training as a vet tech from a vet clinic. I am a mama bear when it comes to all animals, they are treated with respect and love. I am a receptionist and mother of 2 boys, and my husband works from home as an accountant. Your dog or cat will be in great hands, I will walk them and take potty breaks. When I am away at work or the store they will be separated from other animals and given toys and water until I get home. I keep an eye on them with a baby monitor. My husband works from home and will also be helping me take care of the fur babies. When we are home they will be out and monitored and loved on. They sleep in crates at night on occasion or in our bed. They get healthy treats and tons of toys. They have a fenced yard to play and run in.

About: I have grown up around pets my whole life. I have also been the neighborhood pet sitter. I feed, walk, bathe, and love the fur babies! I am currently home from college so I have little to no schedule restrictions with my days! I can work any days and any hours! I have a fenced in yard, and a pool if the pet likes to swim! I also have a dog of my own to keep your fur baby company, but also have a separate house to keep the animals separate if needed!

“Miranda is FANTASTIC! She loved on our pups and sent several pictures. Super patient with both our little people and dogs. Really appreciate her!”

“I am a first-time puppy owner and had to travel out of town unexpectedly for a funeral. I was understandably nervous and hesitant to leave Georgie since he's so young, but I know that keeping his environment consistent is extremely important right now. Then I found Annie on Rover.com. Annie was an absolute godsend who put me at ease immediately. She was extremely responsive and even sent me the most adorable pictures of my sweet boy. I am so appreciative of the stellar care that she provided and we hope to have her come and visit again soon! 10/10 would definitely recommend. Thank you, Annie!”

About: I have been caring for friends and families dogs for about 5 years. I absolutely love all my friends fur babies as if they were my own! I am available daily from 8-1. I drive a school bus so this is something I can do between my routes. I also am available most nights to STN with your babies Unfortunately, my fur kitties do not doggies like I do so I am always able to take care of your babies at your home so that they can stay in their atmosphere. I play with the pups and even take them for walks!!

“Absolutely love Hannah! My two dogs love her and she always sends pictures and videos to keep us updated! Always come home to a clean house as well:)”

“Sara is truly a great sitter. She took very good care of my senior dog. I told her and he showed her all of the issues that he has and she handled them with great care which put me at ease. I'll definitely be using her again.”

Leshia J.

“Princess house sat with our two dogs and kept us updated throughout the stay with pictures and videos. The dogs were obviously well taken care of, and so was the house. Thank you!”

Lawrence H.

“Hannah was a fantastic sitter! This was our first time using Rover and the first time we left our dog in the care of someone else, but everything went very well. I had to attend a wedding and would be out of the house pretty much all day. Hannah even offered to show up a little ahead of when I needed her. She was very friendly and personable, and right off the bat, our dog was comfortable with her. When I came back late in the evening, it was clear that he enjoyed spending the day with Hannah. We were grateful for her help and will definitely be calling her again when we need a sitter!”
