“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.”

About: I’ve had multiple animals living with me my entire life. At one point I had dogs, cats, birds and ferrets living with me all at once. I’ve always had dogs and cats around me. I recently moved and have no animals. Figured I’d fill the time with some nice pets that need attention while there owner is on break. Experienced Pet Sitter – Dependable Care You Can Trust I provide professional, attentive pet-sitting services tailored to your animal’s needs. Services include feeding, exercise, litter or cage cleaning, medication, visits and regular photo updates so you stay connected. I have experience with a wide variety of breeds and temperaments and prioritize enjoyment, relaxation, and routine. Fully reliable, punctual, and committed to excellent care. I’m very professional. I spent 5 years in the US military, 5 years in college and 10 years as a security officer. I have a apartment with a small back area and several parks nearby my home as well as walking trails.
“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.”

“She is awesome!! Always treats our dogs like her own and gives updates all the time. We really like letting our dogs stay her because they get to be comfortable, are taken care of, and lots of yard to run.”

About: I treat every pet like they are part of my own family. I am reliable, patient, and attentive to each animal’s routine, personality, and comfort level. I also have experience caring for geriatric pets and animals that need medication, so I understand the importance of patience, consistency, and close attention to detail. Whether your pet needs walks, playtime, feeding, basic reinforcement of good habits, or extra care, I focus on making them feel safe, comfortable, and well cared for while you are away. Pet care fits naturally into my daily and weekly routine because I am already used to being responsible, organized, and consistent with my time. I make sure pets receive dependable care, attention, walks, feeding, medication if needed, and companionship without feeling rushed. I understand that animals do best with routine, so I work hard to follow each owner’s instructions and keep their pet’s schedule as normal and comfortable as possible. I focus on keeping their routine as normal, safe, and comfortable as possible. I follow the owner’s instructions closely for feeding, walks, medication, potty breaks, crate use, playtime, and any special care needs. I make sure pets have a clean, calm environment, fresh water, regular attention, and plenty of patience. I also pay close attention to behavior, energy level, appetite, and comfort so I can quickly notice if something seems off. My goal is to give each pet dependable care while giving the owner peace of mind.

“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: Dogs have been a part of my life for as long as I can remember, and caring for them has always been second nature. Growing up with family dogs taught me the importance of patience, consistency, and providing a safe, loving environment where every dog feels at home. Today, I’m the proud owner of a friendly, social 1.5-year-old Goldendoodle who loves making new friends. My goal is to open my home to dogs who will enjoy companionship, supervised playtime, and plenty of love and attention while their families are away. I understand that every dog has a unique personality and routine, so I strive to provide personalized care that keeps them comfortable, happy, and stress-free. Whether your pup enjoys playing, relaxing, or simply getting extra belly rubs, I’ll treat them like they’re part of my own family. I have a consistent schedule that allows me to provide reliable care and attention to your dog. Monday–Friday * I work from approximately 9:00 AM to 2:00–3:00 PM. * Before leaving, I’ll make sure your dog has gone outside, has fresh water, and is settled comfortably in their crate (if they are crate trained and that’s part of their normal routine). * As soon as I return home, your dog will head outside for a potty break, exercise, playtime, and lots of attention for the rest of the afternoon and evening. Weekends & Holidays * I’m home and available throughout the day. * I typically start my mornings around 8:00 AM, allowing for early potty breaks, breakfast, walks, and playtime. * Weekends are all about keeping your dog active, comfortable, and feeling like part of the family, with plenty of supervised play, enrichment, and relaxation. Your dog’s safety, comfort, and happiness are my top priorities. My home features a fully fenced backyard where dogs can safely run, play, and explore. During Alabama’s warmer months, I also set up a small splash pool so pups can cool off and have a little extra fun. Just outside my townhome is a ¼-mile walking track, where my Goldendoodle and I enjoy daily walks. We average at least 1.5 miles every day, giving dogs plenty of exercise, mental stimulation, and opportunities to explore at their own pace.
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.
About: I have taken care of pets from puppies to 100+ lbs since I was a young child. I have experience with petsitting my families pets and bathing them. I work part-time, only from 4.5-8 hour shifts with breaks in between. Scheduling a few days in advance works best and anytime on my off days! I am in an upstairs apartment, fenced in. I have a medium sized fur baby to keep your pet company or if needed can keep separated. I have a crate if needed and toys for them to play with. Pets are allowed on the couch/bed. I offer bath time as well for a small extra fee!

About: I’ve taken care of all types of animals ranging from dogs, cats, chickens, and lizards! We’ve had animals in my own family for as long as i can remember we currently have a dog and chickens and maybe cows soon! I have a personal love for animals! If for some reason my dog Oliver doesn’t get along with your pet I live in a separated part of the house so it will be very easy for me to keep them out of contact. I’m currently working full time but i’m off most saturdays and mondays, and then just whenever else they do not schedule me! I’m very communicative and will work with you as best I can! I care for my own pets with love and care making sure they always have what they need and definitely things they want too lol! In others homes I would show them the same love as my own pets and follow whatever instructions left to a T.
About: I've taken care of different breeds & size dogs for 6 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 is always wonderful with Waylon. I've lost count how many times he has been with her. Wredrive extra just so he can be with her. She sends updates, video, photos and has been more than accommodating with drop off and pickup. We couldn't take the trips we do without her!”

About: I’m excited to apply what I’ve learned about my pets to others. Every pet has their own personality I want to get to know them. Pet car fits perfectly into my schedule as I complete college online and am home majority of the day they always have my undivided attention. I have a semi fenced yard but so much for them to run in the back. I have a fur baby of my own who loves to play, he’s gentle and sweet. He treats other dogs with respect and knows to set a boundary if they want to play or not.

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 short introductory meeting between you, your pet, and a sitter. It can take place in person or virtually, although we recommend in-person so that your pet can get to know your sitter 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. Most pet parents and sitters on Rover welcome Meet & Greets because the process can give confidence and peace of mind for service experiences, especially for longer stays or first-time bookings.
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.
If a sitter needs to cancel at the last minute, Rover’s reservation protection means our team will work with you to find a suitable replacement as quickly as possible.
