“Sarah, did a FANTASTIC job visiting with our cat while we were away. He felt SOOOOO soft from her great brushing when we got home, and seemed extra playful. It is a huge relief to have someone we trust who is also great with animals watch our pet, and allows us to travel worry-free. We can't recommend Sarah B enough!”

About: I’ve taken care of animals for around 3 years now. 2 years being with family and friends relying on me to watch, feed, and walk their animals. I have worked in an animal hospital around a year now! I am currently working full time, so I will have open availability as of right now, and plenty of time to spend with your fur babies! I have a big yard and a room in my house just for pups! In the room there is different size crates, bowls, and many toys! I can easily crate your dog in the room or outside.
“My sweeties were so happy to see me home. It was nice to come home not worried that they had been take care of. Brittany kept me up to date with how they were. It was a good experience with Rover! Know my pups were glad to be at home with Brittany.It will be my last option in the future due to prices. Family and friends will always be my best bet. But I’m glad Brittany worked me in at the last moment. Thanks wonderful friend ???”

“I am so happy I found Trish on Rover! I had used a few other sitters from the site before but was never really happy with them until I met Trish! She is very responsive when you book and eager to get the ball rolling! From our first encounter at the meet n greet, I knew I had found a sitter that would do what I requested for my fur baby! Trish was happy to accommodate my requests and let me know when she was on the way to check in on my cat. She sent videos and photos of my baby and assured me she was doing well! She updated me on what she did during her visits and asked if I she could do anything else for me while she was there. She loves animals, and you can tell! My cat usually hides under the bed with other sitters, but with Trish, she was out n about more, and it made me happy that my cat liked her! Trish is friendly, outgoing, and dependable. She is my go-to sitter from now on!!”

“Jamiya took GREAT care of my baby (cat.) She sent lots of pictures and came up with new ways to keep him entertained! I felt completely comfortable with her care and will definitely be booking with her again!!”

“Vicky did a wonderful job for us. Our dog is older and does not like being boarded. Vicky walked and fed him for several days while we were at the beach and she even had to overcome adversity - a snake on our front porch one day ! I would definitely recommend Vicky !!!”
About: Throughout my life, I have had experiences with pets of all breeds and ages. I have experiences with puppies, young dogs, senior dogs, and adult cats. In my care, pets will be loved on, taken out to use the restroom frequently, and fed as indicated by my clients. I am a nursing student and a military spouse, and I would love to use my free time to care and love on your fur baby! I work as a registered nurse part time and am looking to find fun new ways to spend my time and make a little extra cash! Please take a look at my weekly availability and always message me with any questions or requests you may have! I do not offer visits in my home, but I am happy to travel to you to provide drop-in and dog walking care! I am available for up to two drop in visits a day.

About: I have taken care of dogs for the past 5 years, including a chihuahua of my own and my family’s dogs. I have experience raising puppies and caring for senior dogs as well. Even though every dog is different, I am able to provide adequate care and attention to every fur baby that I have the privilege of looking after. I am currently a student and have plenty of down time when I am not at school. This includes Fridays and Weekends and I can be pretty flexible with time! I keep frequent communication with pet owners, I’m able to accommodate to a dog needs, and am pretty knowledgeable about dog behavior to know their needs.
About: I have grown up with dogs my whole life. I currently have two rescue pups of my own. I totally understand each baby has unique needs to live their own best life. I work at an elementary school and am off each day by 3:30 and don’t work weekends so I can spend afternoons and weekends caring for your babies. I also live directly next to a dog park and am happy to take them for an afternoon play! I have spent many years pet sitting in other people’s homes and am used to all different living situations for animals. I have crate trained my own dogs so can assist with that process, as well as take your baby on familiar walks and play time.

About: As someone who has had pets in the home for as long as I can remember, I know it is important for them to be in a loving, patient, and attentive environment and I thrive in providing environments that are such! I work from home and I’m a SAHM, so pet care fits naturally into my daily routine. I have a flexible schedule, which allows me to give pets plenty of attention, playtime, potty breaks, and supervision throughout the day. I have a large fenced in backyard and only two cats inside the home. I make sure that the pets that I care for have enough space of their own but are also attended to closely.
“Amy is absolutely amazing, especially if you want peace of mind with your fur babies. She made our boy (male cat) feel comfortable and happy. She even got him to finish his wet food which he rarely does. We loved the pictures she sent us. We cannot wait to book her again!”

About: Having grown up with animals most my life…I pride myself in the ability to comfort and love your furry friend… Even from a distance. My special skills, are soft skills… Meaning that I work best with slow warm-ups for any anxious pets. But also, I’m ready for any high energy animals as well. I go to school, and work during the weekdays… But have a giant break in the middle of the day, for any pet care. Weekends work best for me. Making sure to adapt to whatever the pet owner, and pet need. Whether that means space, or extra attention… I can be that in-between person you request. I also pride myself on attention to detail… So will notice any change in behavior, or care necessary.
“Ms Sarah was so kind and attentive- you can truly tell she loves animals! My fur baby is FULL of energy and is so loving and Sarah soaked it up and seemed like the two of them had the best time. She even cared for our cat since he started crying for some attention too. One of the best sitters we've had- definitely adding her to my short list of MUST ASK FIRST when booking!”

About: Currently I have 2 cats, both of which have lived with me for almost 10 years (they have traveled with me abroad when I moved) and 1 of them needs medications regularly. I also love dogs but since I live in a small apartment can’t have them. When I was younger and lived in my parents house we did have dogs, so I also know how to care for them. I’ve always loved animals and am looking forward to taking care of yours :) I work full time from Monday through Friday, from 9 am to 5 pm. I am available anytime besides these and complete free on weekends. I will be very happy to go to your home and provide your pets with care and company as needed. I will follow the instructions you give me in regards to any special needs they would have or any specific activities we would need to do.
About: I have experience caring for my now senior cat and my Chihuahua. As someone who loves animals, I enjoy offering attentive and loving care to furry companions! I am a current full-time doctoral student at the University of Alabama at Birmingham. As a student, I can easily work around my weekday schedule to incorporate pet care. I am also open to overnight pet sitting if requested. When caring for your pets in your home, I will ensure they are watched after and will provide them with affection and attention. I can walk your dog(s) around your neighborhood if the weather permits and will ensure that they are let outside to use the restroom throughout the day. For owners who use potty pads for dogs or litter boxes for cats, I have experience cleaning up after both and will ensure this is taken care of.
About: I would love to walk/ hike with your pet, care for it at your home, or drop in to let them out. I have always loved animals ever since I was little. My first job was a pet sitting service, I was frequently asked to watch neighbors dogs, cats, bunnies, fish, etc. My friends often rely on me to take care of their animals while out of town and I have experience with older dogs as well as puppies. My dog passed away earlier this year and I won't be ready for anther dog anytime soon, but I would love to share love with your animals. I work seasonally and am currently off for my winter season. I would love to spend time with your animals either at your home or on walks/hikes! I can not watch pets in my own home but in my client's home I make sure to follow their rules and ask the important questions up front. I make sure to not leave pets alone too long and to be there for feeding times and to keep them company at night.

Trisha was very communicative, punctual, respectful of our needs, and she sent thorough updates. She also asked good questions at the start to make sure she had all the needed information. She was also gracious enough to feed our pet fish. I won’t hesitate to book her again!
