“Emma was AMAZING! One of our dogs has a hard time being away from us but he took right to Emma. He ate his food and was very relaxed when we came home. She also took lots of pictures and videos of our dogs while we were away!”


“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!”


“I needed a last minute sitter for a holiday weekend and Ashlyn was available and excited to help. She was so good with my senior dogs and all of their quirks. I would highly recommend her services.”


“This girl is a rockstar! We booked in home sitting with Jaiydah for over a week, and she took such great care of our two dogs. I received multiple updates each day while we were away. She played with them and loved on them and I am sure our dogs were disappointed when we walked through the door instead of Jaiydah. 100% will book again. The absolute best person for the job 🥰”


“Mia was the absolute BEST with our puppy! She was so attentive and loving! She sent daily photos and videos and even did some training with our puppy. She also took great care of our home and left it spotless! I cannot give her enough praise!!!”


“I really don’t know where to begin but Royalty was the best dog sitter we have ever had. He handled alot of difficulties that came with a very timid, recently rescued puppy without a single complaint or a negative attitude. He will be the person my wife and I call first from now on when we travel. Can’t boat on him enough!”


“Jake was wonderful! He was very respectful of our house and definitely took great care of Baylor. She got lots of love and attention. I will be reaching out to him again. ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️”


“Andra was professional, courteous, and loving with my pets. She communicated clearly and effectively and managed a health concern with one of my dogs calmly and with care. She went above and beyond consistently. I would strongly recommend her services and would hire her again in the future without hesitation.”


“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!”

“Excellent house sitter! Micaiah took such good care of our 4 babies while we were out of town for two nights. She was so respectful of our home and kept me updated on the dogs and how they were doing. The house was perfect when we returned and the dogs were healthy and happy!

About: Growing up we always had dogs in our family. My Experience in pet care is from having my own pets and caring for friends and families. I love animals and have over a decade of experience in caring for dogs, cats, horses, mules, donkey's and pigs. Now I just have my two dogs but the are like our family. I have 5 years experience caring for elderly dog (my own) that needed special care and medications. I am currently not working any other jobs at this time and will have plenty of time to spend with you sweet fur baby or babies. I have a fenced in back yard with 2 of my own fur babies. I love spending time with them in the back yard, going for walks and playing fetch. I live close to a nature trail with a lake and love to take the dogs for walks there. We love that outside time. Inside I have room to play with toys and chill with your buddies.

About: I’m a veterinarian assistant at a Birmingham animal hospital with 3 years of animal caring experience and have some extra time on the weekends to help you with your pet needs. :) I am available to help anytime on the weekends. I also have evenings open after 5pm any day of the week for people needing check in’s and evening walks during the week. I am extremely comfortable around all types of animals and am open to whatever you think is needed for your pet to be taken care of.

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!”


“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!”


“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.”
