“I will always use Joanna! We traveled out of country and ended up having no service, but knowing our dogs were in caring hands really eased our minds. She’s respectful, responsible, dependable, and really loving to all our pets. We highly recommend her!”


“We are very thankful to Michael for taking care of our not 1, not 2, but 5 pups!!! 3 of the 5 are complete wildlings but he patiently handled them with grace. He is very easy to work with in scheduling. Michael even showed up for a meet & greet and spent quite a while learning the most he could about our babies so he would be prepared to take care of them when needed. We look forward to building the relationship & being able to count on him to help us when we have plans that cause us to be away from them. Thank you Michael!!!”


“Took the time to get to know my guys so they would be familiar. Thank you for looking after the old guy in particular, he can be a bit of a handful.”


About: I have been a lifelong lover and owner of multiple dogs. I became a cat lover & owner over 20 years ago. I own 2 cats that are 12 years plus and 2 dogs, a 12 year old lab and a 3 year old lab/anatolian mix who are all part of my family. I have cared for multiple animals for friends and family for many years now. I have done pet/house sitting etc. for dogs as large as a Great Dane and Great Pyrenees, simultaneously. Giving the very best care to my animals and seeing to their health care needs are my top priority. I believe that as a pet owner or caregiver, they deserve the best care possible, as they are totally dependent on us to have their needs met. Pet behavior and nutrition are one of my highest interests and I do constant research on how to improve both. I am open to working with pets who are loving and adapt well to new people caring for them. I would love the opportunity to work with and spoil your fur-baby! Cuddles and snuggles are always included! I have a flexible schedule with lots of room for daily drop-in visits and walks from 30 to 60 minutes per visit, & house sitting when planned in advance. I am not currently providing this service, so no need to describe the services performed here. I do not have this sitter option available whatsoever.

“Madeline did a great job with both my cats over a 2 week span. Highly recommend”


About: I love to watch pets! I grew up having pets and they bring such joy and comfort to anyone they are around. I had dogs growing up, but when I got my own place I decided to get cats. Every pet is amazing, and I enjoy taking them on walks, going to the park, and giving them extra cuddles. I treat every pet the same, no matter the size or age. I welcome all and I am excited to spend time with your pet, and learn more about them. I’m easy-going and flexible pricing. I promise to take the best care of your pets, and treat them like they are my own. I look forward to hearing from you and meeting your pet. Thank you! I am a stay at home mom, so I am home almost all day with the pets! I am available for weekends, and most of the time on short notice if you’re visiting and need someone to watch your pet/pets for a few hours! I make sure they are comfortable with me, and I let them walk around my home to get a sense of the area. If it’s in your home I do the same thing with making sure they are comfortable with me. Once they are comfortable I will give them the best care, and make sure they gets lots of love!

About: I’ve taken care of dogs since I was old enough to remember! Grew up on a farm tending to dogs, cats, horses, and goats! So my experience isn’t lacking! I would love for this to be my full time job! I have a current job but would love for this to become a full time thing! I will care for them exactly how there owners would if not try to exceed those expectations! I look at each pet as a family member! I am currently doing this full time so my schedule is fully open to the needs of your fur babies! I absolutely love animals so this is a dream come true! I am now able to do in home boarding services and welcome your babies with full arms! I would love to love your babies as my own!

About: I am a senior at the University of South Alabama. I work flexible hours and take classes primarily online so I have availability throughout the day during the work week and weekend. I have had dogs my entire life. I currently live in a home with a large fenced yard, so the dogs could play as they pleased. I love animals and am looking to make some extra money while I am supporting myself through school. I have experience sitting dogs of all sizes, including less than 6 month old puppies to 150 pound Great Danes. I also love cats and have had a family cat since early childhood. My sitting experience has also previously included to guinea pigs, rabbits, and parakeets. I have two small to medium sized dogs that are currently fed three times per day (plus their much needed snacks). I love spending time with my animals. It is important to me that animals never go more than a few hours without access to outside and/or free play. All animals need love and attention! In your home, I would clean litter boxes upon every day worked. Brushing, bathing, and dispensing medication are all within the scope of my services. The dogs would all be able to play together or separated if need be. They are super sweet and non-aggressive. In your home, I would be able to let them out several times per day, play with them, as well as grooming tasks like bathing or taking to the groomers.

About: I’ve taken care of cats and dogs both pretty much my whole life as far back as I can remember. I am 25 years old and have been surrounded by these animals and cared for them from newborn kittens on the side of the street to my current crazy dachshund, Daisy. I am currently a student in Occupational Therapy starting fieldwork. Pet care starts at 6 am in my household. I make sure she has play time and enrichment prior to me leaving. I also make sure she gets taken out on the middle of that day to go potty. She has a play pen and crate set up with some toys, food, water, and a puppy pad in case of accidents. Playtime is the first thing we do when we get home as well. I have a fenced in acre yard. Our back door had a doggy door for small animals to get in and out, as well as a glass door if we don’t want them going outside without us. We make sure everything is picked up off the floor that could potentially harm an animal. Cords and wires are tucked away and doors stay shut unless we are supervising as our dog is still potty training.

About: I have been around dogs my whole life and have taken care of them since I was old enough to. I currently have 4 dogs and I love each and every one of them! I have had some experience with cats and I do like them as well! I am much more available during the week. It would be preferable if I took care of the animals from between 9-2. It might change as I am thinking of quitting my part-time job but that is my availability at this time. I am willing to walk the animals, feed them, play with them, and just do pretty much what you would like. I do all of these things for my pets at home.

About: I’ve taken care of pets my whole life. Animals always make me smile. My family relies on me to take care of their pets while they are out of town. I work part time as a server. And will have plenty of time to walk or have a play date with your dog or cat. I will love any and every animal to cross me. I will take care of your pet however it pleases you. I always will have treats on hand as well.

About: I have puppy experience all the way from birthing to 6-8 week development. I am very detail oriented to make sure each pet is unique and different My work schedule is currently very flexible because I own my own company and make my own schedule. I currently deal with my own dogs 3-4 times a day. I like to communicate and hear how the client takes care of their pet. This allows me to know what the pet is use to. They key is is setting up trust and safety

I have 3 kids between 9 and 14 that love animals just as much as I do. I work as a kennel technician/aspiring vet assistant in a vet clinic in Alabama and absolutely love my job!

I currently have one rabbit(Ruby), a very rambunctious yellow lab(Sadie), a sassy corgi/weenie dog(Mama Dog), a blue tick beagle mix who is a big ball of love(Shadow), and 3 adventurous kitties(Kiara, Jackson and Squeaky). All who are shelter rescues or strays. My oldest pet Peanut was a 17 year old tuxedo cat who crossed the rainbow bridge a couple years ago. 💜🌈 My newest member of the pack is a dapple weenie puppy named Gracie, and we are currently getting ready for a Tennessee walker and chickens! Nobody leaves my home without being covered in fur and doggy kisses lol. My fur babies are my whole heart and I promise to care for yours just as I would my own! I am a full time kennel technician at a vet clinic in mobile, most Mondays and Fridays i am away for 10+ hours. However, most weekends & Wednesdays I am wide open, and some Tuesdays/thursdays. I am pretty flexible with availability so if you have any questions please feel free to ask! I have a large 4 bed/2 bath home on 7 acres. I will provide clean bedding and crating(if needed) unless you prefer to bring your own. i will accurately follow the instructions you provide on how to care for your pet.

Madison D.
“If you are looking for someone to treat your pet as family. Look no further! Madison Duncan is the girl for you. If there is one thing I can say about her that sets her apart, it would be that she has the skill to carry on any conversation with your animal to make them feel safe and loved. I trusted her with all of my pets and in all honesty I wonder if they like her a little more than me. You wont go wrong when you put your trust in her to take care of your fur baby.”

Greg B.
“I've had the pleasure of knowing Greg for quite some time, and I can genuinely attest to his exceptional care, dedication, and love for animals. I've entrusted my own dogs to Greg's care on numerous occasions, and I can say without a doubt that his passion for dogs shines through in every interaction. What sets Greg apart is not only his genuine love for animals but also his responsible and reliable nature. I wholeheartedly recommend Greg B. as a pet caregiver on Rover.com, and I'm confident that anyone who entrusts their pets to his care will be as thrilled as I have been with the peace of mind and exceptional service he provides.”


Megan G.
“Megan is a very responsible pet lover. She has been around animals since she was born and has always treated them like her children, not simply pets. She is very caring with all animals, whether it be fur or scales.”
Evanston pet parents share their Rover experiences
Tara was great with our dog! Great communication with us including lots of pictures and he was so happy at each visit. We will absolutely use her again and would recommend her!

Abigale was great! She fed my cats, changed the litter when I asked and even watered my plants! Only complaint is when I got home I was out of cat food, just would’ve been nice to know that before I got home, but other than that communication was great too. :)
