About: Dogs have been a part of my life since I've been a boy. I've owned many different breeds from large to small, my current dogs are all rescues from Hawaii giving them a beautiful life here in Alabama giving them loves hugs and kisses every day. Im retired so im available morning afternoons and nights plus overnight if needed. Always following schedules or routines food, water meds walks or playtime for sure. Keeping your fur babies are safe and plenty of rubs and love. At my home I always check my gates and fence line for safety. I always go out with them for safety, walks and playtime. Separate or rotate pets at feeding time if needed and treat time. I ask about your house rules and follow the instructions for any special needs for each pet, food mediation walks. I always double check gates locks making sure everything is secure before leaving.

“Destiny is great! Our 90 lb chocolate lab loved her. She handles big high energy dogs well! She gave the best reports while we were gone. She took great pictures. Our dog looked happy while we were gone. Selfishly we don’t want anyone to know about her because we want her to be available when we need her again. ;) We will use Destiny again!”

About: I’ve taken care of dogs and cats for 10 plus years. You will not have to worry about your pet with me I will make sure to send you as many updates you want and by the end of the stay your fur baby will have a new best friend (: I’m currently helping clean houses during the week but I still have plenty of free time to help you with your fur baby, I will be able to rearrange my schedule as needed. I will make sure your fur baby has food and water, I go by the book when given instructions on how you want your fur baby taken care of, I don’t mind crating them but if you don’t crate them I am absolutely be okay with them cuddling up to me while we watch tv. I can do check ins so that way I can spend 30 minutes to an hour making sure your fur baby goes on a walk and has exercise.

About: I've had pets my entire life (58 years and counting). I have had everything from a horse to a parakeet in my life. I volunteer with AARF, Animal Assistant Rescue Foundation as a foster home, transport, adoption event staff, and animal handler. I have training experience in basic obedience, potty training, rehabilitation of sick or injured and socializing. I love all animals and promise to care for your furbaby or feathered baby as one of my own while in my care. Either myself or my husband is home 7 days a week. We do have grandchildren that visit our home often. But we can make arrangements to keep the kids away from the pets if that is a problem. I look forward to meeting you and your fur or feathered baby. I am a certified Animal Reiki Healer and offer that service to all my boarded animals at no charge while they’re with me. Of course this is done with your permission only!!! Thank You for considering me as your Rover caretaker. Someone will meet you at the gate to collect your pet and supplies. This shows your babies that I am the pack leader when they enter my home. I have my own pets on the farm. We make arrangements to keep your pets separate from the ones that live on site. Crating is available if needed.

“Stephanie did such a great job! She communicated with me and sent pictures of my kitties. I felt very relaxed knowing that she was going to check on them and make sure they had everything they needed. I highly recommend Stephanie and will happily request her again in the future.”

About: I’ve taken care of all types of pets for as long as I can remember. Have always, and will always, have pets. Animals are my thing. I’ve got kennel experience, former pet store associate, and I currently work in a grooming salon. There’s no reason why I am not the best fit to care for your fur baby(s)! I feel something is missing in my life if I’m not caring for animals daily! It’s what I live for. My dog is literally my other daughter. Insuring the safety and comfort of the pet(s) at all times. I follow instructions, and always try to give as much feedback as possible.

“Excellent care for my two cats. Normally very shy, they were comfortable with Carlie. Carlie stepped in when my usual sitter had a schedule conflict and was a complete blessing. I highly recommend her!”

About: I am the happy mother of three rescued fur babies and two adult children. One of my fur babies has been trained to be an emotional support dog and knows some sign language. They love children. My husband and I are empty nesters. I have been an RVT (registered Vet Tech) at several animal clinics and hospitals in town and in California. I am capable of giving medication subcue and including injections, along withthe needs diabetic dogs or those with special needs. If you need help with behavior issues such as leash walking Im your gal. I love wet kisses from sloppy fur babies. I havnt found anything yet that has changed my mind about these sweet creatures and if I could have 10 of my own I would. Since that is not possible the next best thing is to help others take care of their fur babies. I work from home and am available to be with your fur babies the majority of the time. Besides running errands and I usually have my husband or daughter watch over them during those few times. Or I will bring them with me 🤗 Fur babies in my home are treated as family yes they allowed on the furniture unless you specifically do not want this . Then of course I do exactly what you want for your baby . We have backyard time and walks when weather permits

About: Hey there, so I've worked with animals ever since I've had a job. I started out working at the Pell City Animal Shelter with my Mom years ago. Eventually, Dr Becky gave me a shot at a full time position at Animal House Vet Clinic, where I was also working part time along with full time at the shelter. As of posting this, I've been at the same clinic for just over 12 1/2 years now and don't plan to go anywhere. Caring for pets is just what I do. I don't see me doing anything else. I've pet-sit for years now also, but my last client recently called off the care, as they're moving, essentially. I work a full-time job in pet care, but if needed for my clients on Rover, I can try to stop by up to a max of three times a day. This would depend on if specific times are required. On work days, it would have to be before I head into work (which I get there at around 6:50am.) Mid day would be questionable, depending on distance, as it would have to be done over lunch. Later in the day would be fine in most cases, as I'm off work around 5:00. For the services I plan to continue providing through the Rover app, I'd basically do whatever pet owners need me to do that I can handle. Nail clips, drop-in pet sitting, administering any medications prescribed (if applicable), walks, etc. I go into this fully understanding that each and every situation is going to be different. And that's absolutely fine! Working at a vet clinic and owning dogs of my own, pet care is already a daily part of my routine. I just use my spare time caring for other's pets as well. When pet sitting in the past, whether staying at a client's residence or doing drop-in visits, I do my best to treat not only the pets, but the property that the owner is trusting me in with respect.

“Slater was very quick to respond when we requested help to let out our fur babies. He came for a meet and greet in the evening so my husband and I could both be home. He was very prompt to visit our 3 dogs to let them out while we were at work. He even sent us pictures to keep us updated. We appreciated his services and will be using him again in the future.”

About: I have taken care of dogs, cats, rabbits, farms animals. Loving and caring for animals is my passion. They can be just a sprout all the way to a retired old baby and I will be happy to care for them. I’m currently working full time but plan on switch careers and would love to give this a try and see where it takes me in life. In my home, my dog, Buddy, is spoiled rotten. Lots of loves, plenty of cuddles. He is allowed on furniture. He doesn’t have a fenced in yard but he know his boundaries. In your home, I am more than willing to go by your rules.

About: I grew up with cats and dogs and even rabbits. I am a true animal lover and will take care of your baby as if they were my own. Currently I am preparing for a licensing exam and have wide availability to take care of your fur babies! Especially after Thanksgiving to New Years Safety is my first priority for both my fur babies and yours. Your dogs will always be on a leash when they are walked. I will always make sure to visually see your fur baby before I leave to ensure they do not escape and make sure the doors are locked when I leave.

“Just thanks for taking good care of my furry friends. It is much appreciated. Although I miss them when I am gone, i do not have to worry about their care. Merry Christmas”

About: I have had a love of animals for my entire life and have always owned at least one pet. My first pet fully on my own was a chinchilla named Chee who I got my sophomore year of college and since then, the pets have only grown. I currently have two large breed dogs. Bo is a 3-year-old belgian malinios mix and Bailey is a 1-year-old German Shepard. I am a licensed pharmacist who has recently cut back to part-time and I began looking for a non-healthcare way to spend my time. I mainly work on Wednesday and Thursday but am home by 7 pm on those days and available on other days of the week! I am very good at following instructions, and I also understand that pets need more than just a quick check up. I genuinely love animals and I would treat them like they are my own. My oldest dog also has a chronic health condition. That combined with my healthcare knowledge would make me a great resource for any special needs pets!

“I was very pleased with Gina! She was attentive to our cats and communicated well with me. It made a huge difference in my vacation, feeling like our cats were in good hands. Plan to use Gina again soon.”

About: I've been taking care of cats since I was a kid. My first pet-sitting job was for a neighbor when I was 6 years old. I went every morning to feed and empty the litter box and play with her cat. Then I would be back at night to do the same. I wish I would have known then you could do this for a living! I work at a vet's office so I am learning more and more about cats and dogs every day. I have my own fur lovelies at home so watching and loving your pets will blend in very nicely. I can do drop ins before/after work and on the weeks where my son isn't with me, I can do overnight stays too! I do not offer boarding since I am renting a place while I look for a house for me and my son. I love seeing animals in their home because it keeps them relaxed and comfortable. When I visit, I try to give them the love and care that their owners would so they feel safe and secure.

About: I’ve had and taken care of dogs since I was 6. My first ever dog was a pitbull and since then I’ve take care of numerous more as well as Great Danes, chihuahuas, labs, poodles, German shepherds, and can do any other types of dogs! I’ve taken care of them my whole life which included feeding, walking, bathing, playing with, and giving them medicine as needed. I’m currently working part time and in college. I will usually only be available on weekends but that can change which is why I will need a week in advance notice. I can take care of them for a few hours at a time on weekends if needed. Just let me know and we can work something out! I can do pets indoor and/or outdoor. Please let me know if and how you discipline your dogs so I can give them the best care. Also let me know if they can and can’t go certain places in or out the house!

About: Have worked on a farm since I was 14 years old, so I have experience with dogs cats and farm animals. I have at least 5 years of experience. Currently taking all online college classes so I have a lot of availability. I also have had dogs and cats my entire life so I have a lot of experience. I have a lot of options. I have a fenced yard area on the farm where they can get plenty of exercise. They can stay out or inside whichever they are used to. I am very attentive to all their needs while in my care.

“I always know my cat Millie is in good hands with Emilia. She is very reliable and responsive. I highly recommend Emilia for your pet’s needs.”
