About: I am a RN that have been caring for the pets of our friends and family for several years. We're ready to step out and provide love and attention to others. I am a remote worker so your fur babies will be under the watchful eye at all times. My kids are also great with pets and love playing in our fenced back yard with those we care for. I have a large fenced yard and no additional fur animals. Your pet will have lots of exercise, potty breaks , love and individualized attention.
About: All Dog and Cats are welcomed !! I’ve had a dog since I could remember. Every time I come across any other dogs they become so clingy and don’t leave my side. Dogs are an emotional support for me personally. I’m very gentle, caring , patient and a little too generous with treats I’m working full time as of right now. I Also will start early in the morning for feeding , play time and walks. I can also make the dogs as part of my weekly routine I have a large room for playing and zoomies. There is also nice parks around for walks. I don’t have a fence as of right now but it’ll be one soon
“Tiffany was a sweet personable young lady. She sent me pics and I felt comforted knowing my gal pals were taken care of. Her kids met me at the door with big smiles and energy! Her location is very convenient to me. Thanks again Tiffany ??”
“Ashley was great! Gig and Cocoa Bear enjoyed their stay. I felt very comfortable with Ashley. She provided videos and texts throughout the day as updates. Fur babies were happy and having a great time!”

“I love her!!! She’s a better dog mom to MY dog than me. She feeds him well and plays with him the entire time. My dog is so happy to have playmates. When he leaves he sleeps like a baby. The best part is she noticed a problem that I didn’t. So glad to have her”
“Let Demi go to Ms. Aimee’s for daycare while I ran some errands on a Saturday! Best decision ever!! She was able to play with her dog besties in a safe environment. I’m beginning to think that Demi likes Ms. Aimee’s house more than home.”
About: With years of hands-on experience caring for all types of pets, I provide a loving, stress-free environment for your furry family. Lots of playtime and affection! Your pet will feel right at home while you're away. As a pet lover without any current furry commitments, pet care is my absolute priority. I have a very flexible schedule focused solely on providing your pets with attentive walks, playtime, nutritious meals, comfy beds and endless cuddling. Your fur babies will get the ultimate TLC. I have a large fenced yard and love doggy playdates. I can easily crate your fur baby if needed. Indoor or outdoor I have you covered 😉
About: Hi! I'm a stay-at-home mom with a house full of love (and fur). We share our home with two pups, a cat (& a toddler), so I'm comfortable with several animals in my home at once 😄. With managing a busy home juggling everyone's routines (pups, cat, kiddo, and daddy's night shift all included), I've gotten pretty good at patience, consistency, and keeping balance between different temperaments. I have a pup with allergies — special diet, skin care, allergy meds — so if your pup has specific needs (like that or otherwise), no worries here. Your pup will get regular walks, playtime, and plenty of snuggles (if they want) while they are here for their Pup Sleepover or Playdate. I'm home most days, flexible, and happy to send photo updates so you can see your pup is happy and well cared for. I am a SAHM so my schedule is relatively flexible. Im available most days (including weekends) and some holidays. Kiddo's naptime is 1pm-3pm but can be shifted for pickups/drop-offs if necessary. I prefer pickups/ drop-offs to between 8am and 7pm so they don't interfere with the kiddo's nighttime schedule. I live on two acres on a dead end street (not currently fenced in but looking to remedy this soon). so there is plenty of space to roam and walk or play well away from the street. I also live close to a dog park that I frequent and would be more than willing to take your pup there for some fenced in running around :) I have 2 very dog friendly fur babies of my own so your pup(s) would always have another doggo to pal around with. But if socialization is hard for your pup I can accommodate that as well.
“Sheavel was a pleasure to work with! Very informative, from calls to video, and I appreciated this communication. Bluey loved being at her home, and I will book again. Thanks again Sheavel!”
“Just picked Blaze up and Brittany and her family were amazing. They were just what we needed for our little pup. Friendly, kept me up to date with video and pics of our baby. Her pups were patient and friendly as well. Looking forward to booking her again.”
About: I’ve taken care of animals since I was a kid, I love animals like they’re my own babies lol I also worked in a doggie day care center for 5 years I work from home so your babies will have my full attention and availability! We will be able to go outside and enjoy as many walks as they like! I have a fenced in back yard and I also have a gated area inside with a lot of space for them to play and be comfortable, they can also relax in one of our crates if they prefer more solitude.
About: I have been a pet owner for over 30 years, of all breeds of cats and dogs. My home has always been the go to home for family and friends to bring their pets when they go on trips. I am currently taking online classes, and not working. I have time daily and nightly to provide care and fun activities for pets. Unless previously discussed with client, Sundays are reserved for family and church, but I’m available every other day. I have a very pet friendly home where your fur baby will be allowed to be who they are and I have a nice gated dog park in my complex
“My star had an amazing time I'm assuming due to her coming home always worn out like she worked a 9 to 5 job i truly loved how she was exhausted from daycare but my only concern was my baby girl didn't eat neither time she was there should would come home very hungry and her food was never touched that I sent with her not sure if their feeding time was after 6pm but she usual eats before 5pm but other than that my Lil fur baby seems like she enjoyed herself.”
About: Since I was a child, I've had a strong affinity for animals and have always adored fur pets. I've been caring for animals since I was ten years old. I've worked with senior dogs for four years. Neighbors and friends have entrusted me with keeping an eye on, walking, bathing, and feeding their pets. I also kept an eye on chickens. I figured rover would be a great way for me to interact with a variety of furry friends. I can work full time on weekends and part time and weekdays because I’m still in school. But I’ll have plenty of time to play with your pets. I’m available for boarding on weekends, and drop ins on weekdays. I don't keep pets in cages because I don't want them to feel confined. I do accept pets on furniture, but if you want your pet to be crated I will allow it. I also have a very large yard for your pet to run about in.

Emily has always been the best. King knew exactly where he was at when I turned on her street. Vibes means a lot to me, and feel very safe and secure when he’s with Emily. She was his first sitter, and it feels like leaving him with family when he’s there. Thanks your pictures and videos.
Benny had an awesome day with Thanh! I am super happy and thankful I found her. Benny has a sitter already but I’ve been looking for an additional sitter and someone closer to where I live, and luckily I found Thanh. Today was Benny’s first day with Thanh and I can tell by the photos and videos and by how he is now, that he had a great time. He came happy and relaxed and is taking a nap now. She walked him, played with him, and took really good care of him. She is very professional, friendly, loving with Benny, and an excellent sitter. Her two dogs, Athena and Apollo are sweethearts. We’ll be seeing Thanh again tomorrow. I highly recommend her!!
Finesse was absolutely amazing with my puppy, Cupid! From the start, she made both of us feel comfortable and cared for. She kept me updated throughout the stay, which gave me so much peace of mind. Cupid clearly had a great time he didn’t want to leave! His happy energy both going in and coming out of the stay spoke volumes. I could tell he felt safe and loved, which made me feel the same. I highly recommend Finesse and will definitely be booking with her again!

Sitters on Rover can offer flexible scheduling, so you can coordinate times that work best for you and your pet—whether that’s early drop-off or later pick-up to match your Irondale commute.
If your schedule changes, it’s best to let your sitter know through the app as early as possible. Many sitters can adjust pick-up and drop-off times when needed.
Think of doggy day care as your dog’s fun, supervised play date that happens to fit into your workday. Day care through Rover takes place in a real home. This offers a calmer and more personalized environment for your pup.
A typical day can include companionship, one-on-one attention, and same day pick-up and drop-off. Many sitters can also offer structured routines and exercise throughout the day. For recurring, weekly day care, sitters will include photo updates so you can see your dog in their element.
Here are tips for finding the ideal day care fit for your dog:
- For some small dogs: In-home day care can be the perfect fit. Look for sitters whose "can host" section only lists dogs weighing 0–7 kilograms and/or 7–18 kilograms. During your Meet & Greet, ask about play areas based on dog size and energy level.
- For high-energy dogs: The ideal doggy day care can offer scheduled breaks and outdoor spaces or activities. You can also find sitters who host multiple dogs to satisfy your pup’s socializing needs.
- For dogs who prefer human-only companionship: Use the filters "Doesn't own a dog" and "Only accepts one pet at a time" to find the right care.
Play groups can be an option when you book with a day care sitter through Rover. Many sitters do host a small number of dogs at the same time. Smaller dog packs are generally safer, more fun, and ideal for dogs who enjoy playtime but also want to relax throughout the day. When looking for your dog’s pack, check the sitter’s profile to see if they "Accept multiple clients" or have their own dogs. Then during the Meet & Greet, you can see whether your dog is a good fit for their social circle!
While each sitter sets their own vaccine requirements, staying up-to-date on your dog’s vaccines is the best way to be "boarding ready". Vaccinations help create a safe environment for all pets under a sitter’s care.
Many sitters in GA ask that dogs be up to date on core vaccines like the Canine Parvovirus, Canine Distemper, Canine Adenovirus, Bordetella, and Rabies.
By discussing your pet's health history early, you’re adding a layer of confidence for you and your sitter before the booking begins.
Every sitter on Rover is required to pass a background check before listing their services. This process confirms their identity and indicates they are not on the Department of Justice’s National Sex Offender Public Website or have any disqualifying offenses.
Beyond ID checks, you can review each sitter's star rating, read verified reviews from other pet parents, and see how many repeat clients they have. Every booking is backed by the Rover Guarantee, which includes up to $25,000 in eligible veterinary care. For more details, visit Rover's Trust & Safety page .
The Rover Guarantee is Rover’s commitment to your peace of mind every time you book. It includes 24/7 customer support, sitter access to advice from qualified veterinary professionals for diagnostic issues, and a reimbursement program for eligible veterinary care in the rare event something goes wrong.
All bookings are backed by the Rover Guarantee , which provides up to $25,000 in eligible veterinary care reimbursement.
A Meet & Greet is a short introductory meeting between you, your dog, and a sitter. It can take place in person or virtually, although we recommend in-person so that your pet can get to know your sitter or the new environment. During the Meet & Greet, you will have a chance to walk through your pet's routine, medical needs, and unique quirks. Take the time to ask your sitter questions about their skills and expertise, and make sure the fit feels right for everyone. Most pet parents and sitters on Rover welcome Meet & Greets because the process can give confidence and peace of mind for service experiences, especially for longer stays or first-time bookings.
