“Jacob had great communication and took great care of our dogs. They seemed happy and relaxed during their stay and came home happy and tired. We are looking forward to using Jacob again!”
“We were so grateful to have our sweet Tybo in such great care! Terwrin was kind and communicated quickly with us to keep our minds at ease when it came to keeping our sweet boy while we went on spring break. We will definitely book again!”
“Thank you so much for taking such great care of our little Lady! Sending pics, and updates make leaving her a little less stressful. She says Thank you also! Will definitely use you again!”
“Kenneth watched our pup, Onyx, in his home for 1 week. Kenneth was absolutely wonderful to work with! He took wonderful care of Onyx— so much so that we weren’t sure if Onyx would want to come home! Kenneth communicated with us frequently, sent photos and put our minds at ease while traveling! We can’t wait to work with Kenneth in the future!”
“Another fabulous visit for our pup. Charlie was happy when he was dropped off and tired and happy when we picked him up. Tammie spoiled him with lots of long walks and a trip to the beach.”
“My sweet Stella Bella Roux had the doggie pleasure of staying with Terri and her sweet dog recently. Terri is a kind and gentle person who loves dogs. I knew right away that my Stella girl was staying with the best sitter. Terri sent pictures of her dog and Stella together, what a great staycation for Stella! I will be happy to book Stella with Terri again next time we travel that way! 🐾💖🐾”
“Taylor was great with my cat! She kept me updated on her well-being and Micha was happy when she returned. Taylor has experience with insulin injections and helped administer them to my diabetic cat which was a life saver. Wonderful stay.”
“I know Charlie and Lucy will be well taken care of when they are with Corey. I really appreciate the convenience of having the pups picked up and dropped off as part of their stay. Great communication throughout the pups' stay and the pictures are priceless.”
“Christina took amazing care of my Theo. She was patient with him and took pictures and sent updates often! Theo had soooo much fun running around with her dog Harley. My flight coming home was delayed and Christina was very flexible with the change in pick up time and I cannot thank her enough!! I will 100% be using her again 😊”
“Michael was attentive and responded quickly to all of our messages. Boomer got along well with his two pups. Michael sent me pictures and/or videos daily and kept me up to date with how Boomer was doing. Michael's yard is spacious with plenty of room for running and napping. If we are ever back in town We will definitely have Michael take care of Boomer! Thank you Michael!!”

About: I've had pets my entire life. I currently have a 12 year old Cocker Spaniel named Sophie. She is getting on in years and requires a little extra care. I am able to care for older pets that may require extra TLC as well as younger pets. I would love to care for your babies! I currently work three days a week, so Saturday through Wednesdays are best for me. I will try to work with you on the other days if needed! I have a fenced in backyard and a sweet girl to keep your pet company. I can crate your pet if needed. I am also available to sit with your pet and go for walks.
“I can not thank Kristin enough for taking care of my girl while we were away at softball games. I was so worried my dog would be upset that we left her but she seemed to have a great time! I received pictures and updates daily! I would absolutely recommend her with your dog and if I'm ever in the area again I would love to have her watch my girl again 🐾💜🐾”
“Natalie took awesome care of our golden retriever! Her dog and our dog got along great. Overall A plus experience. Would recommend Natalie for any dog sitting situation.”
“Jina was absolutely incredible! This was the first time leaving our baby with someone and she immediately eased our anxiety about it with her warm introduction. She made sure to give us daily updates with multiple pictures. We will definitely use Jina again! HIGHLY recommended!”
“Jana is a dog whisperer! She helped us out last minute with our 3 1/2 month old mini dachshund while we traveled to my Dad’s 90th birthday. Our puppy was so loved and played with. Great communicator and really loves the dogs! Thank you Jana!!”
“She was amazing with my dog. Definitely made me feel comfortable leaving my dog there and gave updates with lots of pictures everyday. I would definitely go to her again.”
“Sue and Gary were excellent hosts for my Heeler, Roka. They provided lots of updates and photos throughout her stay and she had a blast with their dog Newman. Thanks for taking such great care of her!”

Gulf Shores dog parents share their Rover experiences
Robin is the best! She has such a sweet spirit and is exceptionally great with our babies. We used her services last year with our 16-year old Shih Tzu, Cookie, and it was a perfect situation. Now we inflicted our two 5-month old Shih Tzus on her and she just rolled with the punches. They love her home and yard and they fell in love with her. I can’t imagine her not being loved by her charges or the parents. We could relax and enjoy our outing knowing our two were comfortable and safe!
