“Alexandra gave excellent care to my boy, sent texts, and pics - it is nice to not have to worry when you are away from your fur-baby. I highly recommend Alexandra-I will be using her again!”


“Jennifer is AWESOME. She made it so easy to set up care on pretty short notice and was GREAT at communicating throughout the whole stay. She was great with my dog who can be pretty hyper and crazy and is quite a talker, so she gets major points for putting up with that haha. Loved having her watch my fur babies and will absolutely continue to use her services! Thank you Jennifer!!”


About: I’ve taken care of dogs of every kind since I was young. My dog, neighbors, and friends have relied on me to provide extensive care. I love all fur babies big & small! I have a flexible schedule and I’d love to fill my time by taking care of your sweet pets. I love to provide animals with quality time outside to get in their exercise. I will gladly play, feed, and love on your sweet pets.

About: Hi, I’m Aleigha! I’ve been caring for dogs for over 11 years, providing love and reliable care for friends and family. Now, I’m excited to take this passion to the next level by offering my services professionally on Rover. As a certified dog groomer, I bring extra knowledge and experience to every visit—whether it’s reading a dog’s body language, keeping them clean and comfortable, or simply making them feel safe and loved. I understand that every dog is unique and deserves personalized attention, whether we’re out on a walk or snuggled up after playtime. Your dog’s happiness, health, and safety are my top priorities, and I’d be honored to be part of their care team! I work full time, several of those days are remote from home. If you need my services on days that I’m in the office, my husband works from home full time and can provide care during that time if approved by you. I am available on the weekends for any services and love spending that time at home with the pups to ensure they have plenty of outdoor time and snuggles :) I live in a gated community with a fenced in dog park and 2 fur babies of my own to keep yours company + add some extra fun to playtime. I do require dogs to be leashed while on walks to ensure safety. For sitting in your home, I ask that any special instructions be provided such as outdoor/potty needs, food sensitivities/ special directions with feeding, and any other necessary information that would make their time more comfortable such as anxieties or sleeping preferences.

“My girls are so happy with V,my 4th time using her and she is wonderful with them. I have 100 plus pound dogs and was worried how they would react with me not being there,,,Not any more, Very highly recommend this young lady.”


About: My household has always had a furry friend in it since the day I was born from small ankle biters like Chihuahuas to hefty cuties like my current Bully Pit that I can safely wrestle in some horseplay. Puppies, seniors, we don't discriminate 'round here! I don't mind getting my hands dirty and have small experience in clicker training younger pups along with an energy to match whichever personality I'm given. A boundless Collie? We can play all day! A sleepy old Bassett? We can chill with some TV. I'm not above being put to work either. Give me a litter box to clean. Give me medicine and I'll make sure it's getting swallowed. Toss a cat my way as well why doncha? I worked as a cat caretaker during my fall and spring semesters in Auburn University, as well as own a lovely kitten named Autumn, so having a feline to shake things up would be a nice treat! Trust me, my hands have a good pain tolerance. Beyond that, I know it costs major bucks to look after your pets. Or pay someone ELSE too. Sometimes a week stay for a pet can run up to $500! That's why you come to me. I offer affordable rates because I'm more concerned with the passion than the money. I have multiple pets of my own and I know the chip they can put in my wallet just from vet visits! So I won't let it get in your way! 🤠 I've graduated happily from Auburn University with a degree in Animal Sciences and am settling into a new job. This means that while I'm happy to take on new clients, my schedule is sporadic as it's determined on a weekly basis. It also means I will be gone for many hours at a time. My current work schedule and thus how long I'd be busy for July 14-20 is: Mon: 4-9:30 pm Tue: Free Wed: Free Thurs: 9 am-5 pm Fri: 5-9:30 pm Sat: 1-9:30 pm Sun: Free Safety is a non-negotiable when it comes to our furry friends. Just like I do with my own pals, I stay by them at all times when outside and encourage their attention with toys or loving scritches when they're not doing their business. If push comes to shove, I am capable of safely wrestling an overzealous dog into calming down or tightening the 'ol leash if need be. With cats, responsibly scruffing rarely fails. Inside, unless stated otherwise where they're allowed to park themselves, I stay with my little friends on the floor and can crate them if specified to do so when it's bedtime. If they're free roamers, I let them tag along where I go! Except the kitchen. I also welcome animals who require daily or periodic medication. Bear in mind I charge $10 per day of administering medication, and it would cover all required meds for that day. Rest assured your friend will be taken care of!

“Maegan is an excellent sitter. She provided detailed messages on her drop in visits and multiple pics of my pups. She gave them their meds and treats as requested and even gave them back scratches that they loved!!! Hurricane Francine had come through the area during my absence and knocked over a couple of my potted plants on the front porch and back yard and she even picked those up which was way above and beyond. It was so nice knowing my babies were taken care of so well so I didn't worry about them. I highly recommend Maegan and will definitely use her again for my dog service needs.”


“She was amazing! She took great care of my baby, and continuously sent updates and pictures! I will definitely be using her again in the future’”


“We got the cutest video of Jasmine and our dog Lucy playing!! She really goes above and beyond with taking care of Lucy!! We will absolutely be using them again in the future 💛”


“Stephanie was fantastic with dropping in on our cat when we were out of town! She logged detailed notes about her visits, took pictures each visit, and was diligent and thorough. Would absolutely hire her again and would recommend her to anybody.”



“Atrisha was absolutely the best! She went above and beyond. We had never left the dogs with anyone before other than family. She was so wonderful to the dogs. They were comfortable with her. We were comfortable with her. She gave us complete peace of mind so we were able to enjoy our trip.”


“I'm very happy with how my two dogs were cared for. One has a persistent problem with one of his ears, and she was very consistent with looking after it and giving him his medication when needed. Probably more consistent than I am normally. Usually by the time I get home his infection has gotten worse and requires a lot of attention to get it back under control. But this time he was his usual self when we got home!”


“Montrez was great! He picked up poop and also vacuumed and followed all care instructions.”


About: We are willing to do whatever needs to be done to make your best friend comfortable. Someone is home at all times. We have had dogs for the last 15 years from puppies to seniors, including special needs. Four of our dogs have been dachshunds,one was a bloodhound, and one was a pitbull mix. Three dachshunds and the bloodhound now reside in the home. The bloodhound is a 6 year old female, the dachshunds are 7,2 and a 1 year old males. We have a very harmonious pack atmosphere. We believe that exercise keeps a pet happy! We are well acquainted with crate training, clicker training, and positive reinforcement. Our family members have dogs of various ages and breeds which spend the time with our pack so they are used to visitors! We look forward to meeting you and your doggy! I work full time, my wife does not work so she is home all day with the dogs. The only time we would leave the dogs is to go to the grocery store. We have a fenced yard and lots of toys for them to chew, we encourage tearing up toys and playing. We also allow the dogs to be on the furniture and beds.

“Priya did a wonderful job of caring for my senior cat who has to take medication twice daily. I will certainly try and use her again when I’m out of town.”


About: I've raised several puppies into adulthood throughout my life and I have experience in dog sitting that I have done for friends and family through the years. I'm currently searching for a new career, so I have plenty of time to take care of animals. I'm looking forward to a new experience! I have a fenced yard, and two small dogs to keep your pets company. I can also crate dogs if necessary! I have one big dog that stays in the back yard and in his crate.

About: I have over 30 years of experience taking care of a variety of animals including: dogs, cats, horses, cows, goats, sheep, pigs, snakes, fish, hamsters, and guinea pigs. I have raised animals from birth up until their assent to heaven. I work for Uber, so I have a very flexible schedule that will allow me to fit your needs. I have two dogs myself, and while they come first, I have plenty of time and love to give. I am a very clean and trustworthy person and your animal family member will always be in a safe and loving environment. I want every animal to get their exercise, so if that's a walk or just playing I will make sure they do so in the most fun way possible.

“I am very happy with the service and care Kaleigh provided my two cats. I definitely recommend Kaleigh as a cat sitter. Kaleigh's courteous, pleasant and professional manner helped ease my mind so I could enjoy my trip.”


About: I've cared for puppies, senior dogs, heart worm positive dogs, escape artists, professional nappers, mouthy labs, big mountain dogs, small spaniels, dogs with a daily grooming need and dogs prone to needing bathed. I love dogs of all kinds and will follow care instructions to the T to ensure any dogs I watch are safe, loved, and given the best to maintain their health. I work part time and have a flexible schedule - even on my busiest days our six pups aren't locked up for more than 5 hours. My husband and I joke that one of our hobbies is dogs. With our large backyard, our dogs get about an hour or more in the morning, midday, and again in the evening to play, sniff, and lounge outside - not to mention any additional potty trips or sniff breaks they ask for throughout the day! We have a large fenced in backyard with a playset, outdoor furniture, and a kiddie pool set up for the dogs to use. Dogs are allowed on the furniture and bed, and we have a spare bedroom we turned into a dog lounge space. We have crates to keep our younger or more mischevious dogs safe when we leave the house and have additional crates for medium and large sized dogs that come stay with us. We can also set up your own dog(s) crate(s) in a separate room if your dog needs a quieter environment. We do have 6 dogs that range in size from 50-75 pounds - they loved cuddles, chasing each other around the yard, and stealing our spot when we leave the couch. None are toy or crate/bed posessive and we separate the dogs while the eat so the speedy eaters aren't tempted to steal the others food!

About: I have had pets my whole life. Love all kinds. I have house sitted for a week recently with 2 dogs. Young or old, they'll be safe in my care. I have plenty of time. Work is slow and not stable. Hoping adding this to the list would supply an extra source of income but I clean for homeaglow and that's usually a couple hrs a day for maybe 2/3 days a week. I help a friend with his landscape business but everything I do is flexible and I would work around your schedules.. While in their home they would do what they normally are used to and as for mine, I would make them comfortable and safe as possible. Crate them if needed...

“I cannot recommend Aleigha enough as a pet caregiver! She is incredibly responsible, attentive, and most importantly, truly loving toward animals. From the moment she met my dogs, it was clear she has a natural connection with animals and treats them like family. She consistently goes above and beyond—whether it’s sticking to routines, providing updates, or giving extra cuddles and playtime. I had total peace of mind knowing my pet was in her care. If you’re looking for someone who is dependable, trustworthy, and genuinely compassionate, Aleigha is the only one I will trust with my babies!”
