About: As a husband and wife team, your pet gets double the love and supervision. We’re attentive, patient, and committed to following your pet’s routine the best we can to make them feel comfortable, just like at home My wife Sore works from home, so she’s here most days. You can be at peace knowing your pet(s) will get lots of attention, cuddles, potty breaks, and playtime! We have a big fenced yard for security and a nice deck for sunbathing! There’s plenty of room for exercise, if your pup enjoys the outdoors.

“Sarah is an absolute sweetheart! My boy is happy and taken care of! Thank you so much for the great service and especially for taking him in last minute 🩷”

About: My Boarding Policies: I want every dog to feel safe, loved, and comfortable while they’re with me, so these guidelines help keep things running smoothly for everyone. 💬 Meet & Greet I always do a quick meet & greet for new clients so I can get to know your pup’s personality and make sure we’re a great fit! I will need an emergency contact and vet reference. (Last minute bookings happen, I am willing to work around this for this purpose, just reach out to me) 💉 Health & Vaccinations For everyone’s safety, all dogs should be up to date on rabies, DHPP, and Bordetella. Please also make sure your pup is free of fleas/ticks and not showing signs of illness. ⏰ Drop-Off & Pick-Up I’m flexible, but I try to keep drop-offs and pick-ups within agreed time windows so the day stays smooth and predictable for the dogs. If you’re running late, no worries — just let me know! If at any point I can not get ahold of you, this will result in me reaching out to Rover Support or possibly Animal Control (depending on the situation) 🍽️ Food, Treats & Supplies Please bring enough food for the whole stay, plus any medication with simple instructions. If anything unexpected comes up, I’ll let you know right away. 🐾 Behavior & Comfort I welcome all sorts of personalities! I just ask that pups are: Friendly with people and other dogs Able to be crated or safely separated if needed Not showing aggression If your dog has any quirks (anxiety, chewing, reactivity, etc.), please share — it helps me give them the best care. 🩺 Safety First If a true emergency happens, I’ll contact you immediately and may take your dog to the vet if needed. Owners are responsible for any vet costs. 📸 Updates I love sending photos! Expect at least one update per day — or more if you’d like. Just tell me your preference. 📅 Cancellations & Holidays I follow Rover’s cancellation policy and keep things fair, but holiday bookings may fill up fast, so early scheduling helps! I loved animals for as long as I can remember, and pets have always been a big part of my life. I’ve cared for dogs and cats of all sizes, personalities, and ages — from bouncy puppies and curious kittens to senior pets who just need a little extra love and patience. When your pet is with me, I’ll treat them like family. I enjoy long walks, playtime in the yard, and plenty of snuggles on the couch. I’m also happy to follow your pet’s routine so they feel safe and comfortable while you’re away. Whether they’re energetic and playful or calm and cuddly, I’ll make sure they get the love and attention they deserve. I provide full-time dog care, including doggy daycare, boarding, drop-ins, and walks. When doing Drop ins or walks, if you are outside of a 5 mile radius, a small fee will have to be added for the distance traveled. Each day starts with morning walks and potty breaks, followed by supervised playtime and socialization. Midday is quiet time for rest and meals, with afternoon walks, and play. Evenings include dinner, potty breaks, and calm activities to help dogs wind down. Overnight, I monitor boarding dogs to ensure they’re safe and comfortable. Your pet’s safety and comfort are my top priorities. I provide a clean, secure, and loving environment where your furry friend can feel at home. All interactions are supervised, and I make sure playtime is safe and stress-free. I follow any specific instructions you provide for feeding, medications, or routines to ensure your pet’s well-being. I believe trust is earned, which is why I maintain open communication with owners throughout their pet’s stay or visit. You’ll receive updates, photos, and messages so you can see how your pet is doing in real-time. My home is pet-friendly, calm, and structured, offering plenty of space for exercise, rest, and fun. I strive to create a positive experience that leaves your pet happy, healthy, and eager to come back.

“I would like to give her a rating of more than five stars. Even after taking care of my rambunctious puppy, she described her as "sweet." Moreover—despite it being our very first meeting—she listened earnestly to my various requests. She is a truly trustworthy person.”

A lifelong pet lover, I have raised ten animals since childhood. My part-time schedule ensures I have ample time to provide attentive care for your pets I'm energetic, vigilant, and playful, so we’re bound to have tons of fun together!

“Poppy is special, not just to me, but to everyone she meets so traveling with her can be a challenge. I always want to make sure she is cared for in a loving, safe, and comfortable environment. After a last-minute confirmation that I needed to be in Talladega for three days, I was extremely lucky to find Cassandra and her husband. They took wonderful care of Poppy during the day while I worked, and I was still able to have her with me overnight, which made the whole trip so much easier. Cassandra was responsive, communicative, and sent great photo updates, which gave me total peace of mind. I highly recommend her for any pet-sitting needs in the Birmingham area especially if you’re traveling between Birmingham and Talladega. Great experience all around!”

About: Hi! I’m Jenn — a lifelong animal lover with years of experience caring for both dogs and cats of all sizes and personalities. I have two fur babies of my own — Moxxi, a sweet lab mix, and Obi, a gentle Staffordshire terrier mix — both rescues with big hearts and friendly personalities. I offer boarding and daycare in my home so your pets can feel safe, loved, and relaxed in their own familiar space. I’m able to provide frequent potty breaks and can tailor visits around your pet’s unique routine. Whether your pet needs extra playtime, medication, or just a little extra TLC, I’ll be there to care for them like one of my own. You’ll receive regular photo updates and quick responses while you’re away — I know how important peace of mind is when it comes to our furry family members. If your pet has special needs, training cues, or specific routines, I’m happy to follow them closely to help your pet feel at ease. Your fur baby will be treated with patience, love, and a little extra spoiling 🐾 My schedule is flexible, which allows me to offer consistent care throughout the day. I’m available for potty breaks, walks, check-ins, and overnight stays depending on what your pet needs. When caring for pets in their own home, I prioritize keeping their routine consistent, their environment calm, and their safety top of mind. I always follow your instructions closely — whether it’s feeding, medications, potty breaks, or playtime — and make sure doors, gates, and crates are secure before I leave. I approach each pet with patience, respect, and lots of love, tuning into their unique personality and needs. Whether your pet is energetic, shy, or somewhere in between, I aim to create a peaceful, predictable experience that helps them feel safe and cared for while you’re away. You’ll also receive regular updates so you always know how your pet is doing — because trust and communication matter just as much as belly rubs. 🐶💛

About: I have over three years experience of volunteering at a pet clinic, as well as owning everything from a Standard poodle to tea cup Chihuahua! I am a stay at home wife, working primarily from home within Odenville AL. Therefore my schedule is always flexible and open! This also means I will always be with your pup or cat during boarding! I have a fenced in yard, harnesses, and daily walks. We always keep the TV on so they do not feel lonely while we’re at work, along with constant trips to the dog park.

“Extremely reliable and always polite.”

About: I had a dog before. I am a dog lover and would to dog sit. I would enjoy having to dog sit other dogs. If you are looking for someone to dog sit, I am perfect for you dog owners. You can contact me by emailing me or texting me. I take care of dogs every day. I would be happy to take of your dogs. Just let me know what I can do. I currently have no job. I can dog sit at anytime during the day/week. I can dog sit at your house or they can come to my house. I’m such a dog lover. Any dog would be good for me to watch. I would take them for walks daily. I would give them some loving time. I would do anything for the dog. Please let me know.

About: I have been pet sitting for friends, family and neighbors for 30 years. When it comes to pet care, I don’t just “watch” animals, I learn them. I pay attention to the tiny tells, the tail angles, the side glances, the way they circle twice instead of three times before settling in. That means your pet isn’t getting a generic routine, they’re getting care shaped around their personality, quirks, and comfort. I communicate clearly and consistently, so you’re never left wondering how things are going. With me, your pets feel safe, understood, and genuinely cared for, and you feel confident know they're in capable, attentive hands. I'm currently a homemaker and would be able to accommodate your schedule through the week and on the weekends with pet care in your home or ours. Both of our boys are rescues and have been enjoying their furever homes. Kevin (dog) found us and hasn't left our sides since coming into our lives. Uncle Ricky (cat) was adopted from a shelter and has become the most loving cat we've ever had. They are loved and spoiled beyond belief.

About: I’ve had dogs throughout my entire life, but currently I have a 7 year old golden retriever I treat like my child! I’ve always trained all of my dogs myself and participated in many safety training classes regarding training. I am currently in graduate school and unemployed, so mostly it’s just me and my golden at home most days, so I have plenty of spare time to help in your pet’s care! I am open to boarding and house sitting, but also happy to do drop-ins or just walks! I have a big fenced in yard and a sweet golden who loves making new friends to keep your pup company! I have plenty of room to crate your dog if needed.

“Dave and his family (including his canine kiddos!) were AMAZING! I cannot speak highly enough or give enough kudos and praise! Dave was an excellent communicator; he was warm, welcoming, and caring. My little guy was happy and excited to see Dave’s pups and Dave, and to me, says everything I need to know!”

Lisa S.

About: I’ve taken care of dogs both full time and part time since I was around 14. I was the sole caregiver for my previous dog (American Staffy) for 4 years as well as pet sitting for family. I’m currently home from college and work from home, so I am able to give your pets plenty of attention and care. I’m also an active person who loves outside. I have a fenced in backyard as well as a very walkable neighborhood with ponds and trails. If needed, I also have a crate available.
