“Jennifer was easy to communicate with prior to the booking and while she had my pups. She would send daily updates with pictures and/or videos which helped with being apart from them! In all the videos and pictures my dogs seemed so happy and at ease. At pickup they were in no distress and happy. Jennifer worked with me when it came to drop off and pick up times which helped out so much with working and trying to plan leaving for a trip. We will definitely be using Jennifer again.”

“This was such a great experience for our family! We always have tears when we leave Toby for boarding, but Savannah made everyone feel so happy and comfortable as soon as we met her and dropped him off! We received pictures all weekend and knew he was getting loved on and having a great time! We will definitely be doing this from now on!”

About: I have loved all animals my whole life. I am currently working on applying to college for veterinary medicine and thought that this job fit perfect with my interests and future aspirations. I am currently in school so my best and most available times are in the early morning or evenings during the week. Sundays are very open. My schedule does move around so other times may be available as well. Just reach out! I have 2 dogs of my own. Both are french bulldogs, one is 11 and the other is 4 years old. They are very friendly with other dogs. I have a fenced backyard as well as a dog park down the street from my house.

About: I have 6 years of experience caring for dogs and other pets for family, friends, and neighbors. I have experience with walking, feeding, playtime, bathing, and giving pets plenty of attention and affection. I’m responsible, patient, and dependable, and I understand how important it is to have someone you trust caring for your pet. I treat every pet like they’re my own and make sure they feel safe, comfortable, and loved while their owners are away. I’m currently a college student, so I balance pet care around my class schedule. I have flexibility throughout the week, including mornings, afternoons, evenings, and weekends depending on my classes. I’m great at planning ahead and will make sure your pet gets the time, attention, and care they deserve. I always make pets’ safety and comfort my top priority. I carefully follow each owner’s instructions and routines, including feeding, walks, playtime, and any specific care needs. I’m responsible, attentive, and will make sure your pet feels comfortable, loved, and well cared for while you’re away.

About: I grew up on a farm. My mom raised puppies and kittens. Growing up I lived with at least eight dogs and eight cats at a time (in a small trailer). Now I live in a small house with room outside to walk a dog-- and can even take them to a trail or creek if you wish. I am not scared of aggressive animals. Some pets need more attention than others! I am a house cleaner from 7:30AM to about 11AM-3PM (it depends on the houses). However, I can make time to come home in between work for your pet. I am free all day on weekends. I have a small grass field, a safe neighborhood, and a cozy home. I make sure your pet always has water and food (unless otherwise specified) and attention.

About: I have three years of dog-sitting experience, caring for everything from energetic puppies to gentle seniors. As a proud pet parent myself, I believe in showering our babies with all the love and affection their precious lives deserve. I prioritize active, joyful outdoor time, including trips to the park, long walks, and relaxing together on the back porch! I'm correctly working part time and have a fairly flexible schedule. I want to be able to prioritize your pet's needs whether that looks like 1+ hour walks/ enrichment time or special feeding times and instructions. Your pets comfort is my number 1 priority. I love to go on long walks, go to the dog park, or used the fenced in dog space in my neighborhood to allow our babies the time they need to play and get the enrichment that they need. A pet is always welcome to make themselves at home in my space even if that means that I have to adapt certain things to their needs like assistance getting in bed for puppies and elder dogs or making sure that their favorite toys are always available for them to play with.

About: My experience with dogs goes back as far as I can remember. Dogs have always been a part of my life, and they always will be! I have been paid to train dogs on occasion, and I have also grown up with many dogs of all sizes. I’ve had numerous German Shepherds, pitbull, labs, shih tzu, you name it. I currently have a female German Shepherd who is 4 years old and a female German Shepherd/Belgian Malinois mix who is 2 years old. Both dogs are spayed and trained. My German Shepherd likes to bark at people initially, but has never bitten a person or a dog, and always has a blast with them after sniffing them out for about 5-10 minutes. My German Shepherd can be separated from your pup if you feel more comfortable that way. My younger pup absolutely loves any and everyone new dog or human! I have a small fenced in back yard and porch and live on a road that isn’t busy so there is little worry of traffic. I absolutely love dogs of all breeds and sizes and look forward to meeting and having a blast with yours! I currently work part time remote so I’m home all of the time and available to tend to your dog’s needs any time of the day. I have a fenced yard along with 2 fun dogs of my own to keep your pup company at all times! I will be sure to keep your dog safe as if he/she is my own and they will get as much play time as you would like them to have!

Frequently asked questions about Rover

Rover is the largest marketplace for local pet care. Whether you're looking for pet sitters, dog walkers, or house sitters who specialize in pet sitting, you can narrow your search by entering your ZIP code to find sitters within walking distance in your neighborhood.

Every sitter on Rover has their own routine. Depending on the arrangements you agree on before the stay, a sitter can follow your dog’s regular feeding schedule, provide a comfortable place to sleep, offer companionship, and support their usual exercise and play needs.

Depending on the sitter, their home environment, and your dog’s needs, daily exercise may include walks, outdoor play, indoor enrichment activities, or supervised play with compatible dogs. These activities are not automatically included with every booking, so ask the sitter what a typical day looks like.

During the Meet & Greet, discuss your dog’s usual exercise and play routine, whether they can safely interact with other dogs, and any activities or restrictions the sitter should follow. You can also ask the sitter to send photo and message updates during the stay so you can see how your dog is spending their time.

Preparing for drop-off is easy when you have a checklist! To help your dog settle into their Coaling 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 Coaling.

<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.

You and your Coaling sitter can schedule drop-off and pick-up in a way that works best for the both of you—and your dog. Most sitters offer flexible times for drop-off and pick-up but the easiest way to confirm those times will be through in-app messaging. Confirm your arrival time the day of pick-up and drop-off can also help keep the process smooth and organized.

The Rover Guarantee is Rover’s commitment to your peace of mind every time you book. It includes 24/7 customer support, sitter access to advice from qualified veterinary professionals for diagnostic issues, and a reimbursement program for eligible veterinary care in the rare event something goes wrong.

All bookings are backed by the , which provides up to 25,000 in eligible veterinary care reimbursement.

Every sitter on Rover is required to pass a background check before listing their services. This process confirms their identity and indicates they are not on the Department of Justice’s National Sex Offender Public Website or have any disqualifying offenses.

Beyond ID checks, you can review each sitter's star rating, read verified reviews from other pet parents, and see how many repeat clients they have. Every booking is backed by the Rover Guarantee, which includes up to 25,000 in eligible veterinary care. For more details, visit .

While each sitter sets their own vaccine requirements, staying up-to-date on your dog’s vaccines is the best way to be "boarding ready". Vaccinations help create a safe environment for all pets under a sitter’s care.

Many sitters in AL ask that dogs be up to date on core vaccines like the Canine Parvovirus, Canine Distemper, Canine Adenovirus, Bordetella, and Rabies.

By discussing your pet's health history early, you’re adding a layer of confidence for you and your sitter before the booking begins.

If a health concern arises during a stay, your sitter is instructed to contact you and our Trust & Safety team immediately and, if needed, take your dog to the closest veterinarian. Through our Trust & Safety support team, sitters can ask for diagnostic advice from a qualified veterinary professional if your dog is showing signs of possible illness.

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.

Every qualified booking made on Rover is backed by the Rover Guarantee, which includes reimbursement for eligible emergency vet care.
