About: I’ve had a pup in my household my whole life and I began walking and dog sitting for others in 2020. I have taken classes on pet and animal CPR. I am very caring and will taken great and extra care of your animal! Currently working a part time job and I am about to start a second one. I’m available for your pets in the mornings and early afternoons on weekdays with the possibility on weekends depending on work. On days that I am off I can accommodate multiple walks and/ or check ins. I have a medium sized dog who’s 2 years old at home, as well as a small 15lb pup. I listen well to instructions and take precautions if needed. I do not offer services for your dog to come to my home, however I will care for your dogs with the same quality.

“Rachel has been amazing with our girls. They have gotten so much extra love and attention. Having Rachel check on our girls has alleviated so much stress for us. We highly recommend her for whatever your pet needs.”


“Emma Is by far the most professional dog sitter I’ve hired on Rover , when I leave to go to work I leave a puppy who has separation anxiety and throws a tantrum when I leave but when I come home from work after Emma has dog sat My sweet boy acts like he had the best day of his life Emma Follows directions flawlessly and has great communication, follows every instruction given for my dogs care , I truly can’t say enough good things about her as a dog sitter except that she is truly a person who goes above and beyond for her clients.”


“Frankie was awesome! He was very informative and friendly! Even our cat who’s scared of people came out for him and let him pet her. He completed everything on our written instructions and more. Will definitely use Frankie again!”


“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!!”

About: With eight years of experience as the sole care provider for dogs and a lifetime of living with them, I bring a wealth of knowledge and love to pet care! What sets me apart is my passion for working with dogs of all kinds, from energetic puppies to seasoned seniors. I have a special knack for handling unique situations, like caring for my Yorkshire terrier with diabetes, which taught me how to manage medications with love and patience. Training my border collie from a hyperactive puppy to an eight-year-old with arthritis has given me valuable experience in adapting care to meet the changing needs of dogs as they age. I'm thrilled to share my enthusiasm and experience with your pets, ensuring they receive the best care and plenty of belly rubs! I currently work part-time and have the flexibility to make my own schedule, which allows me to prioritize pet care and accommodate my clients' needs. This flexibility means I can easily work around the customer's schedule, ensuring that their pets receive the care and attention they need at the most convenient times. Whether it's daily walks or drop-in visits, I am committed to providing reliable and personalized care that fits seamlessly into my routine. When caring for pets in my client's home, safety and trust are my top priorities. During drop-in visits, I ensure that pets are in a secure environment by checking doors, gates, and any potential hazards to keep them safe. I also follow any specific instructions from the owners regarding feeding, medication, or special care routines. For dog walking, I use secure leashes and harnesses to ensure pets are safely guided during our walks. I always stay aware of our surroundings to avoid potential dangers, such as traffic or other animals, and I tailor each walk to meet the individual needs and energy levels of the dog. Building trust with both pets and their owners is important to me, and I always communicate clearly and promptly to keep everyone informed and comfortable.

About: I’m a veterinarian assistant at a Birmingham animal hospital with 3 years of animal caring experience and have some extra time on the weekends to help you with your pet needs. :) I am available to help anytime on the weekends. I also have evenings open after 5pm any day of the week for people needing check in’s and evening walks during the week. I am extremely comfortable around all types of animals and am open to whatever you think is needed for your pet to be taken care of.
