Alyssa was awesome! Took great care of our pets and the house while we were gone. Super easy to communicate with and sent us updates that made us feel totally at ease. Came home to happy animals and everything in perfect shape. Would definitely book again!

We are so glad we found Zaria to watch our two dogs. She stayed at the house and not only took great care of the dogs but also our home. The dogs loved her. We can’t recommend Zaria enough.

Deshun was THE ABSOLUTE BEST. We had him take care of our little Squishy who recently had ACL surgery and was recently diagnosed with a neurological condition. He took care of our Squishy for a whole week and was absolutely fantastic. Consistent photo snd video updates throughout the stay. Made our vacation 100% worry free. Would absolutely recommend to anyone! Thanks Deshun!

About: I have experience caring for dogs and cats for friends, family, and neighbors. I am responsible, patient, and love spending time with animals. I make sure pets are fed, exercised, and feel safe and comfortable while their owners are away. I treat every pet like they are my own and always pay attention to their needs and routines. I am a full-time student at the University of Alabama, but I have a flexible schedule that allows me to care for pets throughout the week. I’m available for walks, feeding, playtime, and check-ins for both dogs and cats. I always make sure pets get the attention and care they need while their owners are away. I always make sure pets feel safe, comfortable, and cared for in their home while their owner is away. I carefully follow feeding schedules, routines, and any special instructions.

About: I have a dog and 2 cats of my own so I consider myself experienced in pet care. I have dog sat for many years now for both neighbors and family. Since I have owned many cats over the years I also consider myself experienced in cat care. I don’t mind cleaning up after pets and I can give medicine to unwilling pets. I don’t currently have a job so I my schedule is very flexible. I also don’t mind getting up early if necessary for your pet. I have a fenced backyard and my pets are friendly. I can easily crate your pet if that’s what they’re used to. I can also come to your house to take them out and give them plenty of love.

About: Hi, I’m Aly! My house was never empty growing up—I was raised in a home full of cats, which taught me how to respect and care for even the pickiest feline personalities. At the same time, I’ve always been the go-to dog walker for my friends and family, and I've recently taken that passion professional. Currently, I’m active on Wag!, where I’ve completed multiple successful walks and have already secured a repeat client who trusts me with their dog’s daily exercise. I’m excited to expand to Rover to offer that same high level of care to both dog and cat owners in the Tuscaloosa area! As a flexible independent worker, my schedule is my own, which means I can easily prioritize your pet’s routine! Whether it’s a mid-day check-in or a last-minute visit, I have the freedom to be there when you can’t. When I’m not hanging out with your pets, you’ll usually find me curled up with a book or learning a new skill. Since I value a calm and relaxed environment, I’m the perfect match for your pet who enjoy a peaceful presence or a quiet companion to sit with them while they nap. I focus on providing personalized care that matches your pet’s unique energy level. Whether I’m visiting for a drop-in or staying overnight, my priority is maintaining the routine that makes them feel safe and happy.

About: I’ve taken care of dogs for 4 years! I have three goldens of my own and understand how they can can be like family! 🫶🏼 I would be so excited to take care of your pets while you are away! I am also an AKC affiliated dog breeder of two years! I a college student who does online school so I’m available to care for your pets 3-4 times a day if desired. I usually am free any time of the day to come take your dog for a walk, check on them, or stay over night! I do live in a mobile home with three Goldens. The downside is I do not have a fenced in back yard, but the upside is I’m with them 16-24 hours of the day until their owners arrive back home! If a client ask me to stay at their home I usually follow their instructions with how many times they want me to come and if they want me to stay overnight! 🫶🏼

About: I’ve been an animal lover for as long as I can remember, and caring for pets has always come naturally to me. Growing up, I regularly pet sat for neighbors, caring for dogs, cats, and even exotic animals, and over time I built a loyal client base in my hometown that turned pet sitting into a consistent job. I have experience with pets of all ages and sizes from training and keeping up with energetic puppies to providing gentle, attentive care for senior dogs. Having had dogs my entire life, including rescues from shelters, I’m very comfortable working with a wide range of personalities and temperaments. I can also administer medications and follow specific care routines, and I always prioritize creating a safe, calm, and loving environment so pets feel comfortable while their owners are away. I also make it a point to be highly responsive, so owners can count on me to quickly answer any calls or texts and provide updates for peace of mind. Pet sitting fits seamlessly into my weekly routine, especially during the summer. As a current senior at UA, I have a very flexible schedule and am looking to pet sit full time, which allows me to be fully available for boarding, walks, and regular potty breaks throughout the day. Because I’m not tied to a strict 9–5 schedule, I can give pets consistent attention, maintain their routines, and be present for their needs at all hours. This flexibility also means I can easily accommodate specific requests from owners and ensure their pets get the time, care, and supervision they deserve. I tailor my care based on each pet’s routine and the service requested, whether in my home or a client’s home. In my home, I create a safe, clean, and calm environment where pets can feel comfortable and relaxed, keeping to their usual feeding schedules, exercise needs, and any specific instructions provided. I make sure they get plenty of attention, playtime, and supervision throughout the day. In a client’s home, I focus on maintaining the pet’s normal routine as closely as possible so they feel secure in their familiar space. This includes feeding, walks, potty breaks, playtime, and any special care like administering medication or following training guidelines. I’m respectful of the home, keep everything tidy, and provide regular updates so owners know their pets are happy and well cared for.

About: I have a genuine passion for caring for dogs and making sure they feel safe, comfortable, and loved at all times. I enjoy taking dogs on long walks or runs to keep them active, while also giving them plenty of attention, playtime, and affection. Your dog’s safety and well-being will always be my top priority. I have hands-on experience as a dog owner and have cared for multiple dogs over the years. I currently have a Havanese that I’ve raised for over six years, so I understand the importance of routine, patience, and consistent care. One of my strengths is staying calm and attentive in any situation. If a dog feels anxious or unsure, I know how to approach them in a gentle, reassuring way to help them feel comfortable. I focus on building trust with every dog I care for, which allows me to provide better, more personalized care. I treat every dog like they’re my own and take pride in creating a safe, positive, and enjoyable experience for them I currently work part-time, which gives me plenty of flexibility to care for your dog. I’m available most weekdays after 2 PM and have open availability on weekends. I make sure to plan my schedule around the pets I’m caring for so they get the attention and time they deserve. Whether it’s walks, drop-ins, or boarding, I’m able to be consistent and reliable with your pet’s routine. Your dog’s safety and comfort are my top priorities. I have a clean, secure environment and can easily adjust to your dog’s needs. I’m attentive, patient, and always keep a close eye on behavior to make sure everyone stays safe and happy. I follow any instructions you provide carefully, including feeding routines, medications, or crate training if needed. I treat every dog like they’re my own and make sure they feel loved and cared for at all times.

About: I’ve been taking care of dogs since childhood, and for the last five years I’ve regularly helped friends and neighbors with walking, feeding, bathing, and basic care. I understand dog behavior well and stay calm, consistent, and reliable no matter the dog’s age or personality. I currently am off season for my job, but I go to school at Alabama so it depends on when in the day and what times! But I am done at 2 pm every day. I live in a dorm that doesn’t allow pets unfortunately but next year I will live in an apartment so I will be able to sit then!

About: I’ve taken care of dogs and cats since I was 10 years old, from the neighborhoods dog to good friends. I also breed French bulldogs and very knowledgeable on welping litters. I currently work remotely from home, so I'll be at home majority of the day with your fur baby to give them 100% of my attention. I prioritize pet care by meeting their needs. Daily picture and video updates are sent of your fur baby. Trust is key—I maintain a safe environment free of harmful substances. Additionally, I promote exercise and mental stimulation for their well-being.

About: I got my first pet at 10, and he recently passed. I’ve been looking for a job that I can enjoy. I’m great with all pets and currently have a cat too! I used to take care of my family pets when I need to and care for my cat daily until I recently moved to college. It’s no hassle for me to take care of someone else’s pet and I do not have to rush. I would meet any requirements that a client needs when offering an overnight service or just walking a dog without hesitating! I understand the standards people have for their pets.

About: I have taken care of dogs for as long as I can remember! I’ve grown up with big dogs for a while and was always relied on to take care of them when my parents went out of town or to take care of my friends/neighbors dogs when needed. I would play, feed, give medicine when needed, and bathe them. I’ve always been a dog person and I hope You can trust me to watch your babies!! I also am very experienced with cats and how to care for them as I have grown up with cats as a child. I’m currently a full time Student at UA, as well as working at WVUA23 part time. My schedule is pretty set for everyday though and rarely changes so I can make sure my visits fit your schedule needed and mine so there is no conflict! My oldest dog cooper is currently on a lot of medicine. I have been responsible a lot of times to make sure he gets his medicine needed daily and to make sure it is right. I also feed my dogs everyday for my parents and a lot of times take them out on walks for them or make sure they go outside and play. I make sure they ever feel lonely and always give them all the attention and love they need!
