Dog Boarding Colony

“Bebe and Bandit, our 2 yorkies, stayed with Christen for a week while we were on vacation. I never had to worry about them- she sent me pictures and updates on how they were doing. I have no doubt they were spoiled rotten while they were there! If you need dog sitting in the Pell City area, don’t hesitate to book with her!”

“Lesley was such a great person to trust with my puppy. Not only did she take great care of her but she also sent photos with updates and of the dogs playing and having fun. Would recommend her to anyone looking for a sitter!”

Kathleen L.

“Addison was wonderful and so great with my pup! I enjoyed her daily picture updates. Riley got plenty of exercise as Addison took her to the park every day! We will be booking with Addison again!”

Courtney M.

“Cava and Mimosa stayed with Anthony for 4 days and we were always updated on how they were doing and got pictures. I felt comfortable with my babies staying with him and would definitely use him again in the future.”

About: With a background in animal care gained from two years at an animal hospital in Highland Park, TX I'm well-prepared to offer top-notch care for your beloved furry friends on Rover. My tenure at the hospital included hands-on work with a diverse range of pets, from administering medications to providing regular exercise routines tailored to their needs. Additionally, I've boarded numerous clients' dogs, ensuring their comfort and well-being throughout their stay. Trust me to pamper your pooch, right in the comfort of their own neighborhood! *I am not a trained or certified vet tech, my experience is general care only. As a full-time work from home-r, I'm seeking extra income to support my future goals. Available Fridays through Sundays, I'm passionate about pet care, drawing from 13+ years as a cat owner and professional experience. I also have a very active 2 year old dog who I take out to the dog park and on adventures regularly! Let me provide top-notch care for your furry friends! In my own home and while caring for clients' pets, I prioritize cleanliness and organization, ensuring a tidy environment at all times. My cats receive ample love and attention, with their needs, including a clean litter box, promptly attended to. Regular cleaning schedules are maintained to uphold a pristine living space for both my pets and those under my care. Rest assured, the well-being of animals always takes precedence in house care routines.

“Louann and her husband took wonderful care of Vida!! I wish I was local, so that I could use them all the time! I can tell Vida enjoyed her time. 100% recommend. 10/10.”

“We are very happy with Bridget sitting Lula! We got lots of updates about how Lula was doing as well as pictures and videos of her just hanging out or playing with the kids. The whole family treated Lula well and gave her lots of attention. When Lula met Bridget’s Pomeranian they were friendly and happy to do their own things. The backyard has ample space for any dog to run around and the fence is in good condition. They went above and beyond, were so conscientious, and treated Lula like a member of the family. We really hope Bridget is available next time we need a sitter.”

Stephanie W.

“Both of my dogs seem to be very happy and made themselves right at home. They loved having the backyard to roam and play, and lots of attention. They were both also on medicine and she made she made they got it and very accommodating to their every need.”

About: We love dogs! But right now with 7 kids in the throws of school and all the extracurriculars, it’s just not the right time for us to have our own furry family member, so let us love on yours! My husband and I each had dogs growing up and we had a family dog until he passed away a few years ago. We have been boarding, walking, and doing drop-ins since that time. From puppies to senior dogs, we can take care of them all. I am a stay-at-home mom who homeschools my 7 children, so we’re home the majority of the time and will be able to fit in your dog’s regular schedule into our every day routine. When pets stay at our house we do our best to keep the same schedule and expectations the dogs have come to know at their homes. I enjoy going for walks at the park and visiting the dog park with dogs who are accustomed to it. We do not have a fenced yard, so I make sure each pet gets adequate exercise each day on a leash. When I come to your home, I will follow your directions exactly as you desire and provide pictures and GPS “walking time cards” via Rover so you can be assured your pet is receiving the high quality care you paid for!

About: I’ve been around both large and small dogs my whole life. I fostered Dog’s when I live in Ohio and I had 3 acres. My sister has 5 dogs and 4 cats and a lizard. I used to take care of them all the time while she worked. I used to have a special needs dog that I took care of before cancer took him from me in 2019. I have 2 dogs right now. One was a foster fail, lol. I am a mother with another job so my schedule is all over the place, but I make it work. I can watch over night occasionally. When caring for pets in the client’s home, I will do what is needed to keep the pet safe and happy. Walks, play time, I can administer meds if needed, crate if needed, cuddles, etc. whatever you need.

About: I’ve had 10+ Dogs, 5 Cats, 5 Quails, 6 Birds, 5 Fish, and 5 Hamsters I’ve had so many pets it’s unreal most likely over 45+ pets in my whole experience of living and I’ve only been here for 18 years! I’ve bathed them, walked them, cared for them, trained them, and even gave them the best time of their life before they hit rainbow bridge I still think of them to this day and hope they’re happy for me trying to bring my experience to the world! I have graduated and now I’m out of school looking for pets to take care of! I can’t drive yet because I don’t have my license so you’d have to do dropoffs I can only watch them for a period of time and not after 8:00PM since it’s not my house but I hope you can trust me! I always give them love and attention whenever needed I always make sure they’re bug-free, fed, watered, walked, and bathed when needed they don’t need meds so I’m not too experienced with that so that would be new to me! I’m always down to learn new things and how things work! But my fur babies are my top priority and will always be taken care of as needed

“Great first time experience with Rover & our sitter, Brenda! She treated our Gizmo as her own & kept us updated with texts & pictures. He was as clean & happy when we picked him up as when we dropped him off. A+++?”

About: I grew up with dogs and truly can’t imagine life without them (no offense to my cat people 🥰). Caring for dogs has always come naturally to me—I love learning their personalities, reading their cues, and making sure they feel safe, happy, and loved while you’re away. I have experience with dogs of all ages and sizes, from energetic puppies to senior dogs who need a little extra patience and care. I’ve cared for everything from small breeds to extra-large pups like Great Danes, so I’m comfortable with a wide range of temperaments and needs. I’m especially attentive to details—whether that’s sticking to routines, administering medications if needed, or simply making sure your dog gets plenty of attention and affection. I’m also someone who genuinely enjoys spoiling pups (in the best way!). I’m very responsive and prioritize regular updates and photos so you always have peace of mind while you’re away. I love being active and spending time outdoors, so walks and playtime are something I truly enjoy—not just a task to check off. My goal is always to make your pet feel comfortable, cared for, and excited for our time together, and for you to feel completely confident they’re in good hands. hi, my name is Alyse!
