“Our dog loved Robin. We used Robin for drop-in visits over a weekend and she was perfect. She did everything we asked and left no trace of having been here. She sent regular photos and updates. We hope our schedules align in the future.”

“Bethany has been fantastic to work with and has made sacrifices with plenty of flexibility to help visit and take care of my puppy golden retriever! She has gone well above and beyond anything I asked of her to help with and couldn’t be happier with Bethany! Not only does my puppy adore her when I get pictures of them playing, but I am elated to have someone as sweet as Bethany take extra time to give my puppy extra attention when I’m working. Highly recommend Bethany to any new or current Rover user that wants the best and loving care of their furry family member from a trusted pup friend!”

About: I have been around a wide variety of dogs and cats ever since I was born. I have been dog and cat sitting both in my Home and at the pet owners home for almost 20 years. I have taken care of dogs and cats, both ones that I had prior experience with and new ones that didn't know me before we initially met. I don't believe I've ever met a dog or cat that didn't like me. I already own a dog, and I frequently take her outside and give her walks. I am used to having all sorts of dogs both in my my home, and staying at the owner's home. My back yard is fully fenced in, and I always use leashes/leads if we go out the front door (for walks or if I'm mowing the lawn for example. If you have a Cat I will take them outside or keep them inside, whichever you prefer. My street ends in a dead end, so there is not a lot of traffic on it. If your pets are more comfortable in your home I am happy to take care of them there, and have experience with it. There are stairs in my house to a basement, but there is a door at the top that remains closed to keep pets from hurting themselves on the stairs. Pets are allowed on furniture in my home (unless you would prefer otherwise,) and if they enjoy sleeping on the bed I am happy to allow them to do that. I keep a stock of Greenies, Marrowbones, and Dental Chew Sticks, and will give them out with any schedule you provide, or you can bring your own.
“cannot say enough wonderful things about Lynne! She has been absolutely amazing with my pets; truly going above and beyond every single time. Not only is she completely reliable and trustworthy, but she treats my animals with the same love and kindness she would give her own.”


About: Growing up with dogs makes me comfortable with any dog of any size! I have had dogs with special accommodations so I am more than happy to accommodate! I love going on walks, to the park, & playing with any pup no matter the size & personality!!! I’m currently working part time so I’ll have plenty time to come take care of your sweet doggies! They’re family too! Some days can be a little busy, but we can work something out no problem!!! Growing up with dogs, I have no problem making the dogs feel the most comfortable whether it’s sleeping with someone or in a crate, etc!
“Grayson was great with my cats. She fed them and made sure they had water as well as interacted with them. They are a bit shy and she was able to pet them and that really surprised me.”

“Joanne = lifesaver. This was my first experience leaving my cat Smokey with a stranger, and Joanne showed her the same loving care as my family and friends. I appreciated all the notes and pics. Thank you, Joanne!”

About: I’m reliable and flexible. I will spend quality time with your babies. I will take them for walks and play. I will love them like they are my own. I can follow whatever routine you have. I do work full time but before and after work won’t be a problem. I will make sure to keep them on the same routine. I can care for your pets in your home better than them being boarded or kenneled. I can housesit and take care of your pets. If your dogs need to be bathed I can bath them.
“Erica never fails to give the BEST care and love to our babies while we travel. She’s so sweet and kind, and we love having such a reliable person to always turn to. ^_^”

About: Hello! My name is Rachel and I grew up with a cat and 2 dogs in my family. I fostered dogs from the local shelter all throughout college and pet sit for a few neighbors each month. I love animals and would love to help care for yours! Being active and attentive is important to me in caring for your animal. I can walk, play, dog sit, feed and let your furry friends out for you at an affordable price. I have a flexible schedule as well. I have been helping out with my neighbor’s dog for almost a year now so I have a credible reference if needed. I have lots of energy and love for animals so feel free to reach out anytime if you need some care for your pet. Since I work for myself, I have a flexible routine and can be available for regular drop-ins, walks, or extended care depending on what you need. I’m able to schedule visits consistently throughout the day and week, and I’m always focused on keeping pets on their usual routine. I’m based in Gulf Shores and I’m happy to travel to surrounding areas for pet care. I take safety and trust seriously and always care for pets based on their normal routine and your specific instructions. In a client’s home, I make sure doors and gates are securely closed, leashes and harnesses are properly fitted, and pets are supervised during potty breaks and playtime. I keep feeding schedules consistent, refresh water, and keep the space clean (including litter boxes). I’m also mindful of things like heat, sidewalks, and outdoor safety on walks. I’ll send regular updates and photos, and if anything seems off—like changes in appetite, behavior, or energy—I’ll reach out right away.
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.
About: Hey there! I’m a 24 year old student working on my Biology degree but I’ve grown up with many pets my whole life! I have two Aussie doodles at home age (male 6y and female 3y) they are always excited to meet new fur - friends. Animals are my dream passion! have plenty of experience with other dogs and love to meet and greet with fur friends! Have a big back yard with lots of space! I do walks and playtime through out the day. I’m currently available for overnight boarding, but I can also kennel if needed to separate from other dogs for daycare. If you are going out of town or need your fur baby walked you can definitely consider me as your dog’s new best friend while you are away! I always make time to send plenty of pictures and updates and will watch over your fur baby as if its was my own. Hiring me as your pet sitter will allow your pet to have the same daily routine as normal along with all the love and attention, in a good environment since things are pretty chill in my home but my dogs love meeting new friends! I do Rover part time but do have weekly walks during the days. I have a flexible working schedule and work usually only from 10am-4pm part time so I can do my best to accommodate any needs to make sure your fur-babies have the best time! I don’t usually do check in’s on pets but if you live close to my location I’m willing to work with you! I am a homeowner in a quiet neighborhood near the beach with a fenced in yard and shaded porch not to mention plenty of toys! I also have two other dogs that are very friendly with others and don’t push boundaries but I can keep them separate from your fur - babies if needed.
“Caitlyn is amazing at what she does. She is beyond caring for your pets and goes the extra mile. She is very friendly, reliable, prompt, accommodating and makes booking a breeze, EVEN at the last minute and during busy holiday times! There are so many things I could say that highlight how wonderful Caitlyn is. Our 3 cats received the care and attention they needed, and our house was even kept tidy, (especially since our youngest cat was into tearing up our Christmas decorations, which Caitlyn took it upon herself to clean up every mess). We loved how Caitlyn pays attention to every detail! Before sitting she meets with your family and makes sure that she knows your pet(s): from treats, feeding and routine, down to the way they like to play and interact. We never worried a minute while we were out of town because she has EVERYTHING under control. It was such a comfort knowing that our pets could stay in their own environment and routine. We would HIGHLY recommend Caitlyn and her pet sitting services. She went above and beyond our expectations, she provided photos each day, very detailed Rover cards each day, and gave us brief text updates daily, as well. She is very trustworthy and we were very comfortable having her in our home. She was meticulous and detailed, and that was very appreciated. We are so grateful to have found her, especially during a holiday time, and can't wait to utilize her services again when traveling.”

About: I’ve taken care of dogs, cats, and birds since I was 13. Nothing professional but experienced in animal care and daily tasks for your pets! I currently work 8am to 4pm from home so I am available throughout the majority of the week, except Sundays and nights past 6 or 7pm. I have a big yard for a lot of running and I have a friendly and energetic pup that would love to keep yours company!

This was our first time using Rover. Graham’s drop ins for our 9 month old kitten were consistent, detailed and thorough. She provided pics and stories of her visits. This was a perfect option instead of taking kitty out of her element and placing her in a kennel. And the cost was about the same. Thank you Graham!
