“Dalton was extremely professional during all of our interactions. He made sure to keep us updated while we were away and sent several photos of Copper. We will definitely use him again if he is available!”
“Alexandra was the best pet sitter to my pup! She did everything I asked and more. She also did a great job about giving medications has directed & on time. She sent me plenty of updates and lots of pictures of my dog while watching him. This was my first experience hiring a pet sitter, but I would definitely recommend Alexandra & definitely ask her to pet sit my dog again!”

“Michael has watched our dogs twice now. His communication is excellent, and he probably takes better care of our dogs than we do! It’s obvious he truly cares about our animals. Thank you Michael for giving us peace of mind that our dogs are well cared for while we’re away!”

“Morgan did a wonderful job caring for my three dogs while I was out of town. She handled it with confidence and care. I had complete peace of mind knowing my dogs were comfortable and well cared for while I was away. She was also very attentive and respectful of my home. I will absolutely continue using Morgan in the future and highly recommend her to anyone looking for a trustworthy pet sitter.”

About: I’ve spent years caring for pets of all kinds — from energetic puppies to gentle senior dogs and cats. I understand that every animal has its own unique personality and needs, and I always take the time to make them feel safe, loved, and comfortable while you’re away. I work full-time during the week but have weekends completely free, which makes pet care a perfect part of my routine. I’m available on weekends for walks, drop-in visits, playtime, or overnight stays. Because I’m off on Saturdays and Sundays, I can dedicate plenty of time and attention to your pets, making sure they feel loved, safe, and well cared for while you’re away. I live in a cozy one-bedroom apartment that’s clean, pet-friendly, and perfect for providing a calm, comfortable environment. When pets stay with me, I make sure they have plenty of space to relax, play, and feel at home. I keep their routines consistent from feeding and walks to playtime and cuddles so they feel safe and happy. If I’m caring for pets in a client’s home, I follow their usual schedule and routines as closely as possible. I always make sure they get lots of attention, exercise, and affection, and I treat their home with the same respect and care I give my own.
“Laura was fantastic! This was our first time having a house sitter and it was so nice knowing she was there and our dog was in his own home. She sent photos daily. We will definitely use her again!”


“Laura stayed in house for two weeks pet sitting for us. She took our dogs out for walks, ran errands with them and was in tune to each pet’s quirks. She even watered my plants, check mail, and brought in packages! Our home was turned back over in the same condition as we left it - I highly recommend trusting your babies with her!”

“I couldn’t be happier with the care my dog received from Paige. She is incredibly sweet, attentive, and genuinely loves what she does. She walked him several times, kept him company, and stayed with him while I was away, giving me total peace of mind. I came back to a happy, relaxed pup who was clearly well‑loved in my absence.”

“Montrez is a great guy and the pups were so happy to see him again after an initial meet and greet. Like they have known him forever! He came for an overnight sitting and I will definitely use him again! Highly recommended!!!!”

About: I’ve taken care of multiple different types of animals, from dogs, to cats, to even horses. I’ve always loved being around animals since I was younger and always put the time, effort, and same energy that I do with my own cat. I also have experience taking care of handicapped animals for a short amount of time. I would be honored to care for your animals and I believe that I would be the paw-fect fit. I currently work at a high school and have most of the afternoons (around 3pm), weekends, and holidays off. I also work at another job that is part time after school but they post my schedule once a month which allows flexibility. I would be nothing but loving and caring for every animal. I can take them on walks around the neighborhood or take them to a park/the beach. One of your animals an introvert? No problem! I am great with introverted animals and let them come to me when they’re ready. I never push their boundaries and I always pay attention to their demeanor. My main goal is to make sure that not only the pets are comfortable but the owners are too.

About: I have experience with both puppies and senior dogs, whether that’s helping reinforce basic training and potty routines or being extra patient with older dogs and any special care they need. I also bring over 10+ years of babysitting experience, so being patient, attentive, and dependable is second nature to me. That same level of care and responsibility carries over into how I treat your pets. I am currently a graduate student at the University of South Alabama. Other than class, I have a flexible schedule, which makes it easy for me to accommodate morning, midday, and evening care. When caring for pets in a client’s home, I try to keep everything as close to their normal routine as possible so they feel comfortable and stress-free. I follow feeding schedules, walk routines, and any specific instructions you leave, including medications or special care. I’m respectful of your space and make sure your home stays clean and secure while you’re away. I also spend quality time with your pet. Whether that’s walks, playtime, or just keeping them company, so they’re not just being “checked on,” but actually cared for.
“I can’t thank Sara enough for taking such wonderful care of my Yuki while I was on a 7-day trip to Europe. I received regular updates and photos, which gave me total peace of mind knowing my dog was happy and safe. When I came home, my Yuki was relaxed and clearly well cared for. I highly recommend Sara to anyone looking for a reliable, caring, and trustworthy dog sitter—I will definitely be booking with her again!”

“Our Nola girl loved London and we would definitely rebook again! Our pup had an upset tummy and London went above and beyond to cook chicken and rice for her while we were away. We came home to a tidy house and a happy pup. Recommend London for your pet sitting needs!”

“Kaleb was fabulous! Because he has a big dog of his own he understands what is needed with my loveable lazy boys. Kaleb was thoughtful, thorough and the boys loved him! Will be using Kaleb regularly for sure!”

“Maitland was wonderful with Samson! She took him for a run, played outside in the yard and gave him sweet belly rubs! She kept me updated with pics and cute comments about him! I will definitely use her again!”
About: Ever since I moved in with my grandma I took over her dog duties, with a little help from my family of course! All of her babies are rescued so they all have different personalities. Our oldest pup is 14 and hes a silly maltese, we have our second oldest and shes a lab mut whos more on the wild side (we cant get a sitter because they always turn her down), and an anxious, very skittish boxer! I also cat sit this beautiful kitty named Salene when her mom is offshore. Before I took the duty of scooping her poop, mom informed me she doesn’t really enjoy company other than mom. I still took the job because its a pretty simple gig to scoop waste, water and feed her. Well after some time, treats, and ear scratches now she welcomes at the door along with a mighty meow ‘Hi’! On that note, I can care for any animal from territorial pups to scaredy kitties! I do ask if I could meet your pets to make sure I’m fit to give them the proper care they need. Thank you for your time and I look forward to pet sitting your baby! I work at Starbucks part time from 11am - 4pm, Monday - Wednesday & Friday so I am available for your pets around that schedule. Our yard is fenced in but Im located in midtown so I can take your pups on a stroll. I will be taking care of your fur babes separately from our house animals other than my sweet kitty (unless requested otherwise). I would also like to mention that they are all updated on their vaccinations!
About: I love animals, growing up I wanted to be veterinarian and would get emotional at the sight of stray animals. I have years of experience sitting the pets of friends, family and neighbors! I will take care of your furry friend like they are one of my own. Right now I have a two kitties and a fish! I am currently in school, but after school- at around 5:30 pm I am available for pet care. I am also free on the weekends! In your home I will feed, play, and give attention to your pet. Let me know what you are most comfortable with boundary wise and I will happily accommodate.
Gorgas pet parents share their Rover experiences
We absolutely loved having Kynleigh care for our dogs! From the very beginning, she was kind, polite, and incredibly professional. She stayed in our home for 14 nights with our two pups and made the whole process so easy and stress-free. Before her stay, she even came by twice just to meet the dogs and make sure they were comfortable with her—which really showed how much she cares. During her stay, she kept in touch with regular updates and photos, and she even texted us when she arrived and when she left (since our travel schedule meant we weren't home for her arrival and departure) so we were always in the loop. When we got home, our house was spotless and our dogs were happy, calm, and clearly very well cared for. We’ve struggled in the past to find sitters we can really trust, which has made us hesitant to travel, but thanks to Kynleigh’s amazing care, we finally feel at ease planning trips knowing she’s there for us. I also want to emphasize that Kynleigh deserves every bit (and more!) of 5 stars. She is thoughtful, attentive, and reliable, and the care she provided us couldn’t have been better. Our experience with her was absolutely wonderful, and we will 100% be booking with her again.
