About: Ive cared for cats and dogs for almost a decade. I am a stay-at-home mom and have plenty of time for round the clock pet care. I provide overnight stays, dog walking and drop in visits. I have well trained dogs that would love to play and kids that are eager to keep your pets busy. I am a stay at home mom with a flexible schedule. I am free to walk dogs and have a spacious backyard. I have cat experience and space for cats to have privacy. I have a spacious backyard, a spare room for pets to have their own space if they need it, and my dogs are kennel trained should the animals need space from each other.
“Payton is ABSOLUTELY AMAZING! She took care of my baby just like he’s her own. She communicated consistently and sent photos each day. Her pup also gets along well with other pups, and made my baby feel right at home. She was able to give Bane the love and care he needed while I was gone out of town and I’m grateful for her. He had play time, cuddles, and plenty of walks. I HIGHLY recommend choosing Payton to care for you baby in your absence.”
“Rachel and her family were a perfect fit for Caddy! She was very responsive and flexible to make sure Caddy was comfortable to all her needs. If you are in the Fort Novosel area I highly recommend booking with her.”
“I can’t recommend Acey enough! She took care of my 4-month-old Cavalier King Charles, Emmett, for 11 days, and I couldn’t have asked for a better experience. Throughout his stay, she provided regular updates and photos. Emmett came home happy and well-cared for, showing how much attention and love he received. She was professional and showed genuine affection for my puppy. I will definitely be booking her again!”
“Hannah took amazing care of Bella and treated her like one of their own. I received daily updates along with pictures, which gave me so much peace of mind while I was away. It could tell Bella was happy and comfortable. The communication was excellent, and I highly recommend Hannah.”
About: What sets me apart from other sitters is my dedication to providing personalized care for each dog. I have extensive experience in training puppies, ensuring they develop good habits early on. Additionally, I specialize in senior dog care, offering gentle and attentive support for older pets. My approach is all about understanding each dog's unique needs and making sure they feel coming and loved while you're away. Pet care is a big part of my daily routine. I make sure to set aside time every day for feeding, walking, and playing with my furry friends. It's essential to me to prioritize their well-being and happiness, so I always make sure they get the attention and care they need. Whether it's a quick walk in the morning or some playtime in the evening, I love being there for them and making sure they feel loved and cared for. When I'm caring for pets in my own home, I make sure to create a safe and comfy environment. I have designated spaces for them to sleep, play, and eat. I keep a close eye on them and make sure they get plenty of exercise and love. At a client's home, I stick to the pet's regular routine as much as possible. I follow any specific instructions the owner gives me to make sure their pet feels comfortable and secure. Whether it's feeding schedules, medication, or favorite toys, I make sure to keep everything consistent so the pet feels right at home.
“Went above and beyond all expectations I have for my dog sitters. The dogs loved staying with them and loved hanging with their new best friend Cooper. Will definitely be rebooking with Lindaria. Thank you and Kendra again!”
About: I've taken care of different breeds & size dogs for around 10 years now. I love animals & want to help take care of them. I have taken care of puppies, senior dogs, & ages in between. I work full time at my job. Weekends are best for me, but I can stay somewhere during the week, as long as it's not too far from my work. I also can go during my lunch to let dogs out to potty &/or check on them, as long as it's not too far from my work. I have a semi fenced in back yard. I have one dog outside & he has come inside sometimes, but hes not completelyhouse trained & I have one cat inside. They are both around 3 years old.
“Needed someone to watch my little furbaby over the holidays last minute and Brynna was very quick to respond! She was very kind and sent updates and pictures over the three day stay! Nyla seemed very happy and energetic at pick up so I was satisfied. This was my first Rover experience and I wouldn’t hesitate to book with Brynna again ? Thank you again!”
“Hayley and Charlie are not only friendly and accommodating, they went above and beyond to make sure my very active dog (aussie) got plenty of time outside doing what he loves over a 4-day stay. Hayley is a serious dog sitter with a perfect set-up for multiple dogs to live comfortably for any amount of time. For multi-day stays they offer a complimentary bath (weather pending) in addition to many other add-on services. I certainly plan on booking with her again.”

I had such a great experience boarding Priscilla here! They were wonderful with her—so sweet, attentive, and genuinely caring. Communication was great throughout her stay, which gave me a lot of peace of mind knowing she was in good hands. Everyone was incredibly kind and welcoming, and Priscilla was clearly well taken care of. I would absolutely trust them with her again and highly recommend them to anyone looking for someone to care for their pup! ❤️🐾
Stephen took wonderful care of both of our senior citizen pups. He sent lots of photos and kept us up to date on what was going on with our girls. I can’t say enough about how compassionate and kind he is. He went above and beyond to make sure our pups were comfortable and felt loved.

A Meet & Greet is a casual meeting to vet potential sitters and communicate care needs for peace of mind before a booking begins. Only sitters who have never booked with you before can schedule a Meet & Greet on Rover; however, you are welcome to coordinate one in Rover messages with sitters you have previously booked. This can be helpful if you have a new pet or routine you want to go over with your sitter.
Meet & Greets can take place in person or virtually. If you are booking with a sitter for the first time, we recommend in-person Meet & Greets to get a clearer sense of how your sitter interacts with your pet or the new environment.
During the Meet & Greet, you will have a chance to walk through your pet's routine, medical needs, and unique quirks. Take the time to ask your sitter questions about their skills and expertise, and make sure the fit feels right for everyone. Meet & Greets are a great way to prepare your pet and sitter for longer stays or first-time bookings. Read our tips for your first Meet & Greet .
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 Rover's Trust & Safety page .
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. Cats may be required to have Feline Viral Rhinotracheitis and Rabies up to date.
By discussing your pet's health history early, you’re adding a layer of confidence for you and your sitter before the booking begins.
Emergency support is available by phone or email in English 24/7. When an incident occurs, we recommend that sitters contact our Trust & Safety team immediately so that they can connect your sitter with a board-certified veterinarian or offer other resources to help.
