“Megan is a wonderful cat sitter! I loved the daily pictures she sent of my kitties. They were all well cared for and my extremely shy cat even warmed up to Megan. She’s trustworthy, which is important to me. I would definitely recommend her!”
About: Hello, my name is Alex! Animals have always been an interest of mine (fun fact: my favorite animal is the grizzly bear) and I love caring for them! I've been taking care of my family dogs for the last 5 years and recently adopted my kitty a little over a year ago. Outside of that, I volunteer at my local shelter and have been hired to walk dogs by neighbors as well as dog/ house sit from time to time. I may be new to Rover but I am not new to being dependable and responsible! I am currently a Junior in college and do not work a job during the academic year. My main constraint is classes when school is in session, but other than that I will work diligently to fit into whatever schedule is needed of me! I know how difficult it can be to trust someone else with your pet. This is why I do my absolute best to make sure each fur baby is treated with the same love and care that I would want for my own. My goal is to give them - and you - the absolute best experience possible.
“Megan did a fabulous job taking care of our kitties Leroy & Gibbs! She is so sweet and courteous. She came to meet them ahead of time, asked questions to make sure she had all the information needed. We got pics of our babies every visit while we were gone, and they were happy & comfortable with her. Definitely recommend her to take care of your fur babies!”
“We came back as a repeat client but with an additional pet and Alex was great yet again! We had a tornado scare while we were traveling and she went the extra mile to ensure our cats’ safety. We would use her again in a heartbeat!”
About: I love animals and have been around them my whole life. I have taken care of many dogs throughout my years of all different ages. I love meeting new animals and getting to know new breeds! I am a full time student so I have classes everyday but feel free to reach out and we can work with scheduling! I’m pretty flexible and would love to move things around to help! I would love to do various things. Like running, walks, training! If I were to go to the owners home it’s very important that I am given specific instructions just so I know I am prepared and ready!
About: I have owned and cared for dogs my whole life. I also have extensive experience with horses and a wide range of other animals. Currently, I own 2 Belgian Malinous who are 8 and 5 yrs. Pets bring a joy to life that cannot be rivaled and it is my goal to care for others pets with love paying extensive care to each ownets personal requests. I also travel often and know how important it is to know our pets are being cared for by someone we trust. I am currently retired so have a very flexible schefule. While I own two large dogs they will not be with me when I care for your pet.. I am.looking to care for others pets in their home as I have two large dogs of my own. It is also my experience that dogs are more comfortable in their own environment.
“Leah took good care of our two cats while we were on vacation! She sent pictures, gave them treats, played with them, and regularly updated us. It felt great knowing they were in good hands while we couldn't be with them.”
About: I have 5+ years of experience in pet sitting and am a huge animal lover! I have two cats of my own, and have fostered about a dozen kittens and cats from shelters. I love interacting with dogs and cats of any size and personality, and enjoy dog walking as well. I have volunteered at the Humane Society cat house, as well as walk dogs through the Metro Animal Shelter happy hour. I would love to spend time with your pets and am committed to providing them a safe environment, as well as sending updates and pictures while you are away so you know they are in goods hands. I am currently a UAB medical student living in Tuscaloosa. I currently have a flexible schedule in my fourth year, and most of my weekends are completely open as well as some weekdays. I will ensure that my calendar stays updated routinely with availability. I am fully willing to tailor my pet-sitting for you and your pets needs! I am very flexible as far as needs for feeding, walking, etc and check ins at your home. Love going to the Tuscaloosa riverwalk for dog walking! Your pet can also stay in my home if needed! I live in a house with two adult cats so I prefer that your pet be cat-friendly, but I also have an extra bedroom where your furbaby can stay if separation is needed. My house has a walking trail and lake behind it which is perfect for dogs. My cats have been introduced to many foster pets over the years!
About: Animals are an absolute passion for me. With my compassion, caring nature, and familiarity with the basic needs of animals, I have the ability to care for pets perfectly. I have been passionate about animals since I was a child and this love for animals has grown over the years. I own 3 dog and a ferret – all are extremely well taken care of. Therefore, I am able to provide the same amount of love and care for your dogs as I do it for my own pets. My comprehension of the needs of pets, especially those of dogs, is outstanding – from feeding them food with the right nutrients to walking them, I know it all. I hope you will allow me to give your furry friend the best service! I currently work part-time. My availability is in the mornings and evenings during the week. On the weekends I am available at any time! Depending on the week, I may be available more times! I am very mindful of dog’s behavior in the home. I take my time when meeting a new dog and building trust. I also engage in providing positive reinforcement!
“Catherine was amazing! She went above and beyond to make sure that my pups were well taken care of while my husband and I were away. Both of my dogs suffer from separation anxiety, and she did everything she could to make the both of them feel comfortable. She sent daily updates with photos at each drop in to let me know how they were doing!”
“Wendy was awesome! She was punctual and was in touch with me frequently reporting my dog’s actions and responses to her. I felt very confident in her care. I will definitely use her again! Highly recommend.”

“Julie did an amazing job taking care of my kitty! I needed someone on really short notice to take him for over a week and I was really nervous giving him to someone I didn’t know.
