Pet Boarding in Homewood

“Katie was an amazing sitter for my dog over the weekend! She was incredibly friendly and made me feel at ease by sending frequent updates and photos. It was clear my pup was well cared for and happy the entire time. I really appreciated her communication and how attentive she was. I would absolutely book with her again and highly recommend her to anyone looking for a reliable and caring pet sitter!”

“Amazing dog sitter! Lauren kept me updated the entire stay with our pups. She made my dogs feel comfortable and was flexible with drop off and pick up scheduling. Would definitely recommend her and rebook her!”

About: I have taken care of pets since I was a little girl. I have always loved playing with them and loving them. They are such great entertainment and being so much joy to life! I have a very flexible work schedule and work from home part of the day. I enjoy taking evening and morning walks so pups will get plenty of exercise. I have a fenced in backyard and there is a fenced in dog park on the property where I live. There is a very safe area for walking all around my complex.

“Being that this was our first time using Rover, we did not know what to expect, but had heard great things from family members. We decided to use Rover last minute and do not regret going with this option. Andrew was very quick to respond and asked so many great questions to ensure our dogs safety. Upon arrival, their space was very welcoming and clean. Our dog immediately started searching and inspecting the house which made us feel great knowing that he was comfortable and safe. Andrew communicated with us everyday and sent pictures of our little one which made us feel at ease while away. Without a doubt, I will be working with Andrew again and would refer him to friends and family as well. Thank you Andrew for being such an amazing Uncle to our baby! He misses you already!”

“Kamryn really has a way with dogs! She’s very responsible and friendly. Cobbler just loved her, and he enjoyed staying with her, and he cried when she left after a dog walk! I highly recommend you book with Kamryn! She treats your dog as if it were her own!”

“We LOVE leaving our dog in Westyn and his wife’s care!! He is always very happy when we leave him and pick him back up. He is now best friends with their dog, Odin! We love the pic and video updates we get of Hobie’s time with them! We’ve booked them twice and will book with them anytime they are available in the future!”

“Our golden retriever absolutely loved his visit with Jonathan and his family. He could not have been a more perfect host and it was really nice to have a previous golden retriever owner as a Rover host.”

“Amazing! The dogs loved being with Laderius and his family. I hesitated because they are on the opposite end of town from me (North Birmingham) but ultimately went with Laderius and I’m so glad I did! They are worth it! Great communication, BIG LOVE for our pets, and making sure they enjoyed their “vacation.” Just overall good people. We will be back.”

“My dog, Molly, came back so tired from playing with Kelsey this weekend. She had so much fun! Kelsey was great to work with, she responded quickly to emails and sent daily photos/videos of Molly. I would definitely recommend!”

Ashley K.

“Annie has great communication and was available at short notice! She provided a safe environment for my dog and he got to socialize with her pets. Definitely recommend!”

“Breanna was amazing - she sat my dogs last minute and was great about sending pictures with them, flexible with pick up and drop off, and helped me enjoy the weekend worry free knowing she had my pups. Will def be sitting with her again!”

About: I'd love to care for your pet! While here, they will have access to their own room (away from my personal pets), which they will stay in overnight and any time I am out of the house. Otherwise, they can hang out with my pets as much (or as little) as they want - always with my supervision. My own dog is shy and nervous, so I am happy to accommodate your dog's particular needs if they also are nervous with new people. I am at home all day, other than stepping out to run errands/socialize. I can provide potty breaks as often as you'd like and build your pet's schedule into my day/week. I can do drop-in visits and walks any time of day and play with your pet as long as you'd like. I have a small, fenced in yard (but your pet will always be supervised outside). I have a 31 pound female dog who is good with cats and small dogs. I also have a cat, who mostly keeps to himself. Our neighborhood is quiet and safe, with sidewalks on all streets. While here, your pet will have access at all times to their own private room (normal bedroom with windows) if they want to have their own space away from my pets, or if I am not at home to supervise them.

“Deby was absolutely phenomenal. It was my first time using Rover, and she made me and my dogs feel like seasoned veterans. She went above and beyond fitting around my schedule, and I would recommend her to anyone and everyone.”

About: Strays were always welcome in my home growing up. Whether we kept them or found them a loving home I have always been surrounded by animals. From puppies to elderly dogs, all ages. I have worked with more reactive dogs but it is not my favorite. I have a cat in my apartment she loves dogs, but not all dogs love cats, so keep that in mind. No fenced in yard at the apartment, but plenty of grassy areas to frolic on a leash. I have a leadership role at a nonprofit that allows me to have a flexible hybrid (remote and on-site) schedule. I get outside everyday for a walk, come in and out of home for different work appointments or zoom meetings, and I would love to take care of your fur baby. Either walks, house sitting, overnights, etc. if you give me clear instructions on your fur baby I will be set. As far as how I care for animals in my environment— I have a huge cat tree in my living room, a little too many cat toys, plenty of space to go on walks. I often run through my neighborhood. My baby has automatic litter boxes and water fountains and a feeder that goes off at the same times everyday. She is a spoiled kitty and I wouldn’t have it any other way.

About: I’ve taken care of dogs and cats ever since I was 13 years old. I was the first person family world call when a pet needed to be taken care off. Because of my educational background on animal biology, I am familiar with the nutritional needs of dogs and cats, what exercises they need to keep on being healthy, and how to make them generally happy. I treat pets like family and love them dearly. I can work most evenings because I work part-time during the day. Additionally, I am available for last minute pet care. I am available all day on Saturday and Sundays. At home, I make sure my two cats have fresh food and water everyday. Additionally, I clean their litter once a day, and change it once a week. Play time takes about 20 minutes throughout the day, depending on the cat’s mood, of course. I love to take dogs on a walk and have play dates with them. I can also clean after themselves.

“I had to take a last minute trip out of state and used Rover for the first time. I chose Libby and she was absolutely wonderful. She was easy to book last minute and she took good care of my fur babies. I have a 9 year old Samoyed/Husky mix and a 6 month old Samoyed. She was very responsive and sent the best pictures and videos of my babies. I highly recommend her and I will definitely book with Libby again in the future.”

“Courtney made me feel so comfortable taking care of my fur baby. This was my first time leaving her for this long of a stretch, but I knew she was in good hands. Maple was so calm and sleepy when we got home that I know she had a great time!”

Alexis M.

“Katherine was wonderful!!! She has a perfect home and yard for doggie comfort. She took our dog on walks and sent lots of cute pictures. Her dog River was a great playmate too. We will use her again and would highly recommend!”

Mike M.

“Our dogs were obviously well taken care of. Great back yard for dogs to play in and very clean house.”

About: For as long as I can remember, there have always been pets in my life! Whether that was in my own home growing up, in a family member's home, at friends' houses, etc. I have often been the go-to person when it comes to caring for them when their owners are out of town. From walking, feeding, playing, administering medication, and more, I have absolutely loved getting to care for pets of all sizes and ages. As for my own pet experience, after moving to Birmingham in 2018 I applied to become a foster through Two by Two Rescue and began fostering (and quickly failed) with my sweet 13-year-old Pekingese, Max. He was truly the light of my life and we were the best of friends! He taught me a ton about how to care for senior dogs. Before his passing in 2021, I rescued my cat, Mews, and although she's a little hesitant around other pets she stays in her own space! At my own home, I do have stairs but have no issue helping any senior pups or dogs afraid of going upstairs feel comfortable. I used to have to carry Max all the time, haha. I'm also comfortable with pee pads as they used to be a staple in my apartment. I'm not particular about whether or not your pet is create trained and have no issue if they're not! As long as they'd be okay around my cat, I'm more than happy to let them roam around as they please. There are plenty of sidewalks around my apartment for walkies and we're close to a community park as well! Discussing my work schedule is something I do before my meet and greets just so we both have an understanding of expectations. However, my full-time job is a hybrid environment so I'm able to work remotely usually 2 days out of the week (Tuesdays and Thursdays) to care for your pet. On days I am in the office, I'm happy to run by your home during my lunch break if you're close to my office in Hoover. At my home, there is plenty of walking space to take your pup out and get some exercise. We can visit a local park near my house if that's something they'd enjoy. I'm also happy to crate your fur baby if needed.
