“Second time boarding with Ben and my dog Harley is glad to visit him. Great peace of mind going out of town knowing he’s being well taken care of and happy. Above and beyond with a flight delay ending up needing an extra night of care last minute. Highly recommend to anyone in the area for a great pet sitter.”
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: Many years of experience caring for dogs and cats of all ages, from playful puppies and kittens to seniors needing extra care. Ready to care for them like they are my own! I’m full time retired, I have a lot of time on my hands to watch fur babies! I have the transportation and time to come to any home to watch them or bring them back to mine. I have a 3 bedroom home, I currently have 3 of my own sweet cats inside, I have 4 that roam outside on their own feee will. They get fed in the morning cans & have dry food throughout the day when they please. They’re all fixed & trained if they are living fully inside.
“Elimarliz was super sweet. Received an update everyday and was just very grateful and appreciative of Elimarliz watching our 5 month old puppy! Definitely will use again and recommend booking with!”

“Amber and her husband took great care of our cat! She was feeling like home from the moment we dropped her off! Thanks to Amber for sending picture everyday so we knew that our cat was doing well and that made us free from worries. Our cat is definitely coming back again!”

I offer bath time as well for a small extra fee!
“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.”
“Chris was such a savior for us when our travel plans were derailed by flight delays! He sent lots of pictures of our golden Squid having the best time and we felt assured he was in capable hands! We are so grateful.”

Pet parents share their Rover experiences - Fort Rucker
We couldn't have asked for a better dog-sitting experience! Having daily picture updates gave us a complete peace of mind and allowed us to have a truly stress-free vacation. It was so clear that the entire family treated our pup like one of their own, showering her with love and plenty of belly rubs. We will be definitely booking with them again. Highly recommended!
Derek was an amazing sitter. He had our dog in his home for 4 days while we were on vacation. He took her to the park, played with her and kept us engaged with a great many photos and videos. Our dog looked so happy we were concerned she may not want to come home. We highly recommend.

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.
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.
