“Leah took exceptional good care of my 4 kitties. She sent me pictures everyday and kept me informed each day of their care. Having an exceptional pet sitter makes going out of town much easier and I could tell my cats were at ease.”


About: I have owned dogs my whole life and when unable to in college I was a frequent foster mom to up to 3 dogs at a time! I love going on long walks and will take the time to play and cuddle with your pup as well! I'm currently working a flexible schedule and able to work during with weekdays and weekends upon request. I typically go for long walks 3 times a day in the early morning, early afternoon, and early evening. Of course outdoor playtime is a must as well with frequent bathroom breaks for young pups! Dogs are welcome to sleep in crates or if not crate trained let me know what your dog is used to as we want them to feel right at home! I have a big fenced in yard and a one year old dog to keep your puppy company! I am able to go on long walks or play in the backyard depending on your dogs age and needs.
About: Hi there! I've grown up with dogs, cats, birds, and rabbits my whole life, and I love taking care of fur babies. I have had my own little best friend for the past 3 years, and we are opening our home for others! I have a very flexible schedule, am an avid walker, keen on pet safety, and very loving! I am currently a pre-medical student at UAB and am hoping to supplement my income by taking care of your babies - a win-win! I have previous corporate professional experience, babysitting experience, hospital experience, and waitressing experience! I'm a well-rounded and responsible pet sitter, and I look forward to meeting your special friends! I work part-time from 9-1 as a clinical researcher and then 2-4 as a babysitter each weekday. I live 5 minutes from work and can always pop home to let your baby out. They will never be alone for more than 5 hours. When I'm gone, my friendly dachshund Frank will keep them company! I am adamant about pet safety. Having a dachshund has made me very wary of smaller dog injuries, so if you have a smaller dog, I am well-versed in making sure they're having safe fun! I have an unfenced park 1 minute from my house, and I am always happy to take the dogs to a fenced dog park so they can run around.
“Amy is absolutely amazing, especially if you want peace of mind with your fur babies. She made our boy (male cat) feel comfortable and happy. She even got him to finish his wet food which he rarely does. We loved the pictures she sent us. We cannot wait to book her again!”

“Jillian was great with my three skittish cats. She managed to get all of them to warm up to her on her first visit. You can trust that your pets are in good hands with Jillian watching them. I highly recommend her!”

About: Having grown up with animals most my life…I pride myself in the ability to comfort and love your furry friend… Even from a distance. My special skills, are soft skills… Meaning that I work best with slow warm-ups for any anxious pets. But also, I’m ready for any high energy animals as well. I go to school, and work during the weekdays… But have a giant break in the middle of the day, for any pet care. Weekends work best for me. Making sure to adapt to whatever the pet owner, and pet need. Whether that means space, or extra attention… I can be that in-between person you request. I also pride myself on attention to detail… So will notice any change in behavior, or care necessary.
About: I have grown up with animals my entire life. Caring for animals has been my life long ambition. I understand the importance of trusting someone to care for your fur babies. My fiancé And I love training and exercising with them every day and they push us to be the best we can be. They bring so much joy and happiness to our life. I have 5 years experience pet sitting for friends and family as well. They are the support system that told me about this app. Work from home but it’s not very demanding. Extremely flexible schedule. Pets need routines just as much as humans do for a sense of calm and safety. To continue to keep your (our) fur baby safe I will keep trash cans covered or inside a latched cabinet. Move all chemicals to high shelves or behind secure doors. Keep cords, chargers, and other potentially harmful items out of reach.

About: As someone who has had pets in the home for as long as I can remember, I know it is important for them to be in a loving, patient, and attentive environment and I thrive in providing environments that are such! I work from home and I’m a SAHM, so pet care fits naturally into my daily routine. I have a flexible schedule, which allows me to give pets plenty of attention, playtime, potty breaks, and supervision throughout the day. I have a large fenced in backyard and only two cats inside the home. I make sure that the pets that I care for have enough space of their own but are also attended to closely.
About: I’ve been taking care of pets all my life I’ve always had a special connection with animals and been very reliable! I have worked at a vets office and I am now a Dog Groomer!

I care for all pets as if they were my own. I adjust to their needs and do anything in my control to make it a great experience for them and their owner!
“Darby is absolutely lovely. She treats our pup just like he was her own. Our pup can be a little of a pain when we are not around, he’s an escape artist and Darby did a wonderful job when it comes to arriving and leaving. We would strongly recommend her for any pet sitting needs.”
About: I have always had pets since I was little. It first started with a horse named Star, then my family went to something smaller…a dog! I have had a miniature schnauzer who was sweet as gold to a cockapoo (cocker spaniel and poodle mixed) who was full of energy. I love dogs so much. I have bathed them, helped them be trained (crate and bathroom), and given them lots of love! It’s summer!!! So as a teacher I am free most of the week/weekends. I can basically do anything that doesn’t get in the way of my sons camps. At my apartment, we have lots of areas to walk. There is a dog park down the road as well. At your home I would follow what you would want me to do Iike walks, baths, treats, picking up after them, and so forth. I always clean up after myself and am OCD about cleanliness.

About: I grew up with a cat of 14 years and later my family adopted a husky which stole our hearts! Since, I have cared for not only my sisters set of 2 beautiful golden retrievers since they were brought home but other dogs of clients and I currently live with a cat! I am currently a 4th year medical student at UAB. My clinical rotation schedule currently is extremely light for the month of February I after 12 PM. And through March April in the first half of May, I am pretty much fully free. Under my care, pets will be brought outside for a potty breaks or a walk only on a safe leash. No dogs will be brought anywhere near roads or construction where they could get injured.

About: I grew up with dogs and truly can’t imagine life without them (no offense to my cat people 🥰). Caring for dogs has always come naturally to me—I love learning their personalities, reading their cues, and making sure they feel safe, happy, and loved while you’re away. I have experience with dogs of all ages and sizes, from energetic puppies to senior dogs who need a little extra patience and care. I’ve cared for everything from small breeds to extra-large pups like Great Danes, so I’m comfortable with a wide range of temperaments and needs. I’m especially attentive to details—whether that’s sticking to routines, administering medications if needed, or simply making sure your dog gets plenty of attention and affection. I’m also someone who genuinely enjoys spoiling pups (in the best way!). I’m very responsive and prioritize regular updates and photos so you always have peace of mind while you’re away. I love being active and spending time outdoors, so walks and playtime are something I truly enjoy—not just a task to check off. My goal is always to make your pet feel comfortable, cared for, and excited for our time together, and for you to feel completely confident they’re in good hands. hi, my name is Alyse!

Irondale dog parents share their Rover experiences
Kyra was absolutely wonderful keeping our doggo. She came a few days early to meet her, learn about her needs and our wants to watch her. She sent many pictures and was a great communicator about each visit. I would highly recommend her and we will use her again!

Leah was great. She was on time and sent us great pictures of Baxter. She sent an excellent report and was flexible with the times we needed. She responded quickly to all questions. My husband and I were not worried all day about Baxter. The next time we are in town we would book with Leah.

Wow! Frankie is outstanding!!!! I’m talking 10/10 Instantly our pups were comfortable, wanting to play and get scratches! Our timid female usually takes some time to warm up and that was not the case here! Frankie is just so kind and thoughtful! Asked all the questions and even offered to water the plants! If you want your fur babies to be in the best hands look no further 👏

Vy (Tyler) was an incredible sitter. We had absolutely no problems and were very happy with the care given to our two dogs. He would periodically send photos and videos of our dogs playing and made sure that we didn’t have to worry about them at all on our trip. We will definitely be booking with Vy again!
