About: I’ve spent the last 22 years rescuing and rehabbing abandoned cats and dogs. I’ve also provided reliable, loving pet sitting and boarding for 19 years. That depth of experience has taught me one thing above all: every animal is different—and every one deserves care that honors who they are. From high-energy pups to anxious seniors, from playful kittens to quiet, special-needs cats—I meet them where they are. I learn their rhythms, their unique needs, and what makes them feel safe. Whether it’s a calm brushing session, an energetic walk, or just giving them space to warm up, I offer a steady, attentive presence. I’m experienced with administering oral and topical medications, and yes—I take deep-cleaning litter boxes seriously. I don’t just show up. I build trust. I believe great pet care is rooted in connection, consistency, and showing each pet that they’re loved and valued. And while you’re away, I’ll keep you in the loop with updates that feel like they’re from a trusted friend. I work full-time in dog and cat care, which means your pets get my full attention, time, and heart every day that you need it. I currently don’t offer care in my home, but I’m happy to come to yours—where your pets feel safest and most comfortable. I follow your routines closely, keep things calm and familiar, and always respect your space. Whether it’s locking up securely, cleaning up thoroughly, or taking notes on your pet’s preferences, I treat your home and animals with the same care I’d want for my own. Safety and trust are everything to me, and I’m committed to providing a peaceful, dependable presence you and your pets can count on.
“My two dogs loved their drop in visits from Kinsley so much! She did great with them and was very good at communicating with me. We would definitely book her again in the future”
“If you love your pets and want someone to love them when you’re away, Ashley is your girl. My cat has some health problems and Ashley combined competence with compassion and gave me peace of mind I did not expect to have when I was on vacation. She was extremely accommodating of a difficult request I had, and I simply cannot say enough good things about her! She truly went above and beyond and cared for my cat like her own. I will definitely be trusting her with my pets in the future.”

Pet parents share their Rover experiences - Dothan
We couldn’t have asked for a better pet sitter! She was incredibly accommodating with our unique situation involving Penny and took the time to follow all of our care instructions exactly. She was also so patient and understanding with our shy cat, Lucy, and made sure all three of our cats were well cared for while we were away. We came home to happy, well-loved kitties and had complete peace of mind knowing they were in such great hands. We would absolutely book with her again and highly recommend her to anyone looking for a caring, reliable sitter!
We were needing a pet sitter and found Mak! Our 3 dogs seemed to be magnetized to her, with detailed reports and pictures on all the dogs while we were away made it easy to get away and still know our dogs were in great hands. Highly recommend her to anyone needing pet sitting services!!

A pet sitter can provide focused care sessions, help your pet’s routine stay on track, or keep you updated on your pet’s mood and energy levels.
Whether you’re at the office for the day or traveling for a few nights, a pet sitter can offer potty breaks during a Dothan stroll, cleaning the litter box, or making sure your pet has on-time food or water refills. For daytime services like walking and drop-ins, you can also request sitters to send a report card with every visit.
Tip: You can discuss your specific arrangements with a pet sitter on Rover to what fits you, your pet, and your sitter’s needs. To find what their special skills are, look at the "Skills" and "Pet care experience" sections on their profile.
If you would like updates while you’re away, you can discuss with your sitter how many or how frequent you’d like those updates to be. The Rover app allows sitters to send photos, videos, and messages about your pet, including how many pee or poop breaks occurred. You can message your sitter at any time through the app and our support team is available 24/7 by email or chat if you have concerns.
The personalized, in-home nature of pet care through Rover can mean more individual attention for your pet.
Many pet parents provide a spare key or arrange a lockbox. You can also exchange keys during the Meet & Greet and show your walker how to use digital fobs or personalized codes. It helps to arrange access to your home, from spare keys to concierge introductions, before pet care begins.
If you live in an apartment or condo, don’t forget to discuss details like buzzer access, codes, or elevator etiquette. These details can help a pet sitter feel more comfortable going in and out of your building.
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 .
The Rover Guarantee is Rover’s commitment to your peace of mind every time you book. It includes 24/7 customer support, sitter access to advice from qualified veterinary professionals for diagnostic issues, and a reimbursement program for eligible veterinary care in the rare event something goes wrong.
All bookings are backed by the Rover Guarantee , which provides up to $25,000 in eligible veterinary care reimbursement.
Yes, you can find sitters who have experience with handling special pet needs in Dothan. On Rover:

- 100% can help with daily exercise
You can also find pet sitters on Rover who accept only one pet at a time, which is ideal for anxious puppies, kittens, or senior pets who move at a gentler pace. Some sitters will also list availability for 24/7 care, also known as constant care, in their profiles.
Use the search filters to narrow down sitters whose specific experience or environment meets your pet's needs. When reaching out to your sitter, outline your pet's care routine and use the Meet & Greet to walk your sitter through your expectations.
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.
Sitters on Rover set their own cancellation policy, which you can find on their profile under their calendar availability.
Cancelling before a booking begins and before the sitter's cutoff time qualifies you for a full refund. Same-day cancellations for walks, day care, and drop-ins follow the full refund policy. Otherwise, for dog boarding and house sitting, you will receive a 50% refund for the first seven days of the booking and a 100% refund for the remaining days when you cancel the same day a booking should begin.
If your sitter needs to cancel within seven days of the booking's start date, then our reservation protection will kick in. This means our support team works with you to find a replacement sitter.
