“Kristen was absolutely great with Brahm. She kept me updated on how he was doing and what he was doing. She sent lots of pictures and videos. This made me feel very comfortable that Brahm was being well cared for. Thank you Kristen.”
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.
“Angelika was such a great help while we were out of town! She was very accommodating and easy to communicate with. She made sure Jett stayed on his daily schedule and sent us pictures daily of our pup. He was a happy camper when we picked him up!”
“Kendall and her husband were AMAZING!!! I went out of town for a week and was very anxious about leaving my pup for so long, but they took such great care of her and treated her like she was their own. She sent me lots of pics and kept me updated on how everything was going throughout the week. My 11 yo lab and her two dogs got along great and were best buddies by the end. I would definitely recommend Kendall to anyone and hope to board with her again the next time I go out of town!”
“Kendall is the best! Not only was she able to keep up with my pup, but she always reached out with updates! I was never worried about my dogs safety & I would 100% use Kendall again!”
“Iris is great with communication and updating information for my girl. I was little worried before I sent my dog since she has some anxiety, but it turns out great experience with Iris. She is always available, let Sandi out every 2-3 hours, plus her family member and her dog are very nice and friendly. Definitely going back again!”
“Addison was so great! I was so nervous about having to board my pup for the first time. But Addison took great care of her she got so much love and attention! I also got pictures daily and multiple pictures most days! Will definitely be be booking with Addison for anything in the future!”
About: Although I don’t have any professional experience caring for dogs, I do have experience caring for family and friend pets, which included all the services offered here. On top of that, I also used to have a dog, so I also have experience there. I am also hoping to be a veterinarian one day, and while I also plan to go to animal hospitals and shelters, I want to use this app as yet a other opportunity to see if I am truly interested in my future profession. I hope you choose to solicit me and my services which include boarding, walking, check ins, and any other services needed to provide the best care for your animals. I hope you have a wonderful day :)
“Teri was terrific! I took my very old (17) labradoodle to Teri while I was out of the country. Teri took exceptional care of Millie....way above and beyond! Teri took such good care, my old girl had a skip in her step when I returned. Teri was kind enough to send pictures and tell us how Millie was doing...she provided a nice vacation for my dog while I was vacationing. Millie and I look forward to our next vacation! Charles”
“First time using rover. Danielle was great and very accommodating. You could tell she wanted to make sure owners are updated on their pet and gave a review of the stay on pickup.”
“Emily watched our dogs this weekend and they came home happy and tired! I think they enjoyed all the kiddos at their home. I would've liked a couple more updates & pics but I am also a highly anxious dog mom. ? Lol. We would use her again in the future if there's a need!”
About: Experienced Pet Enthusiast with a Passion for Pups Ready to Provide Top-notch Dog Sitting Care! My home is safe for our fur babies to play. I currently work from home 2-3 days each week. I’m also open on most weekends for boarding and sitting except on Sundays. Great schedule that will fit your needs. I have a fenced in yard with doggy doors that opens into the yard. I also have 2 dogs that love to play. Dogs can be separated or crated if needed.
“Thank you for taking care of our pup! Arthur and his wife were able to respond to our request right away. They gave updates and pictures on how our pup was doing every day. We are absolutely grateful and appreciate you both!”
About: I’ve always been an animal lover, and caring for pets is something that comes very naturally to me. I know how important it is to have someone you truly trust caring for your pets when you can’t be there, and I want you to feel completely comfortable knowing they’re being treated with the same love and attention I’d give my own. We currently have three cats—one outdoor cat and two indoor cats—as well as two bunnies who have their own separate space. Our cats are extremely well socialized and are accustomed to being around other cats, dogs, and our bunnies. We do not currently have a dog of our own. I’m comfortable with all the everyday things that make a big difference: feeding routines, fresh water, walks, playtime, litter boxes, keeping spaces clean, and, of course, plenty of attention and affection. I also understand that every animal has its own personality. Some want to be right beside you, while others need a little more patience and space before they feel comfortable. My goal is to make your pet feel safe, loved, and at home while they’re in my care. I’m happy to follow their normal routine as closely as possible and keep you updated along the way, so you can relax knowing your pet is being genuinely cared for. I am a stay-at-home/Homeschooling Mom to an 8 year old son. We offer boarding Monday-Friday and some holidays. We welcome all fur babies and truly enjoy the time we get to spend with each one of them. An area of my back yard is fenced while the other half is open. We have plenty of shaded space available for those hot days while enjoying the beautiful weather!
“Alex was a wonderful communicator. I knew from drop off to pickup that our lab was in great hands. She is caring and sweet and welcomed Olive into her home and pack! Unlike vet boarding, Olive clearly had a good time and came home happy and tired from having playmates! 10/10!!”
About: I’ve been around cats, dogs and horses since I was young. I’ve cared for a lifetime of dogs (newborn to senior). I’m always willing to listen to the behaviors of a pet for best care. I am a university student, who’s trying to make extra money through a passion of hers- caring for animals. I love all kinds of pets, dogs and cats to rabbits and ferrets. I am hoping to use any money made toward my last year of tuition at university! I also work two jobs part-time, and play rugby. Nonetheless I am very good with scheduling, and making time for important things like taking care of your pet (s). Mon., Wed., Fri, and weekends are typically my best days schedule wise since it’s the most open! I have experience with many behaviors of dogs, cats, small mammals and reptiles. I have no issues with crating as needed, correcting aggression behaviors, and general care. As mentioned, I cared for a range of small animals, so please feel comfortable having me care for pets of all kinds!
About: About Me 🐾 Hi! My name is Brianna, and I’ve been a dog lover for as long as I can remember. I’ve had dogs throughout my entire life, so caring for dogs has always been something that comes naturally to me. I currently have a small dog named Marshall, a Cavalier King Charles Spaniel, who is a very important part of our family. Having Marshall has given me even more experience with the love, patience, attention, and consistency that dogs need to feel comfortable and happy. I know that leaving your pet with someone else can be stressful, which is why I treat every dog in my care like they are part of my own family. My goal is to provide a safe, comfortable, loving environment where your dog can relax and enjoy their stay. I’m happy to follow your pet’s normal routine, including feeding schedules, walks, playtime, medications, and any special instructions you provide. I also understand that every dog has their own personality and needs, and I’ll take the time to get to know what makes your pup comfortable. Whether your dog loves to play, enjoys cuddling on the couch, or prefers a little quiet time, I’m happy to meet them where they are. 🐶❤️ I would love the opportunity to get to know you and your pup and become someone you can feel comfortable trusting with their care! I work during the day, but I’m available for boarding and can provide plenty of attention before and after work. I’m available most weekends and will make sure your pup gets plenty of playtime, potty breaks, cuddles, and care throughout their stay. Your pet’s safety and comfort are my top priorities. I have a safe, welcoming home and a fenced yard for supervised outdoor time. I have a friendly Cavalier King Charles Spaniel named Marshall who enjoys having other dogs around. I’m happy to follow your pet’s normal routine, including feeding, walks, playtime, crate time, and any special instructions.
About: We have had pets our entire lives. I love dogs of all kinds, big or small. Our son is a great help with pets as well and absolutely adores them. It’s a team effort! We’ve had puppies in our home from 7 weeks old to senior dogs. Our dog, Leo, is very social and has not found a doggy friend he doesn’t like. Meet and greets are highly recommended because we have our dog in our home. We are happy to accommodate any dogs and their needs and have experience giving medications to pets. We do have a lot of stairs so our welcomed guests should be able to walk flights of stairs decently well. During the school year we both work full time but make getting home to our dogs first priority at the end of the day. My husband has job flexibility where he can work from home a few days a week. In the evening we love nothing more than to cuddle with the dogs on the couch and watch a good show. When the weather is nice we enjoy lots of walks in our neighborhood. Our dogs love the yard, it’s a chipmunk oasis. Our yard is fully fenced. We have a very dog friendly shepsky. Dogs can be crated, rest on the carpet, snooze on the couch, or sleep in bed with us- whatever they’re comfortable with.
About: I have taken care of all kinds if pet and I want to be able to take care of you pet to. Me and you pets would go on walks play and just hang out together I don’t work on weekends and pet can stay with me when your not home or I can stop by feed,pet,and walk I will follow by your request. And take care of your pet like it’s my own. Like making sure you pet gets enough attention

Pet parents share their Rover experiences - Irondale
Shay and Zach were great with our pup Ava. I had no worries leaving her with them. They updated us daily, took great care of her and were very accommodating. We really appreciated them. They are a sweet caring and responsible family and loved meeting them. We hope they will keep Ava again in the future.
Danielle was great! We were in a pinch and needed a sitter ASAP when our original sitter canceled on us the week of our trip. Danielle even made time for a phone call and then meet and greet a few days before our planned drop off. She is a good communicator, and I knew she would take great care of our dog Lucy - which she did! I highly recommend Danielle as your next sitter.
Ms. Amy is truly a gem! She sent me updates and photos of my puppy and even gave him a bath. In the photos you could see that he was extremely comfortable and appeared to be right at home. I also overslept a bit after getting in late from my flight, which caused me to arrive a little later than my scheduled pick up time, and Ms. Amy didn’t mind. I would recommended her to anyone!
Ashley is wonderful! She is incredibly attentive, caring, and thoughtful with our dogs, Peaches and Max. It’s clear how much she genuinely cares about their comfort and well-being, and we always feel completely at ease knowing they’re in her care. She’s also extremely easy to communicate and coordinate with, which makes the entire experience stress-free. We feel very lucky to have found someone we trust so much with our dogs and would absolutely recommend Ashley to anyone looking for a reliable and caring pet sitter!
Jody was absolutely amazing with our pup! She was a great communicator sending consistent photos during her stay. And I could tell our pup was having a wonderful stay which gave such a peace of mind while we were away. Cannot say enough great things! Rosie is ready for her next stay!
