About: I’ve had dogs my whole life and love to take care of all different kinds of animals! No restrictions or age limit of any animal! I’m currently a full time student at the university of Alabama but I have a pretty flexible class schedule so I should always be free! My dogs are inside dogs at home and range from puppy to 13 and are very well taken care of as well as exercised appropriately!
About: If I were to be asked my superpower of choice, I’d tell you I already have one. Never in my 23 years of life have a met an animal I couldn’t work with, including the mean old cat my mother inherited. I take pride in my work of taking care of animals, and find it equally as rewarding seeing pet parents not have to worry about their babies in my care. From juggling my own zoo at home, to being introduced into the Pet Care business as a teenager working at an equestrian barn, I have honed my skills at prioritizing the wellbeing of animals and their happiness. With a bleeding heart and nerves of steel, I will love your pets as much as you do. I will clean their messed with understanding, play with them to enrich their brains, note any worrying conditions or details to you with urgency, and overall be the sitter you’d wish to hired again and again. My schedule is open and booked first come first served. 24 hours minimum notice before time of service as well. My long term plans are to start school again in the spring to further my education and professionalism working with animals, but until then pet sitting is my first priority. Working with horses, I’ve developed a patient and calm disposition towards aggressive or scared behaviors. I try not to overwhelm any animal, and allow them to grow accustomed to my presence before I take part in whatever needs to be done. Meeting with said pets for the first time is a bit tricky, but I make it a habit for the first meeting to be with owners before services are rendered so both the client and myself are sure the animal(s) will be ok.
About: I have 6 years of experience caring for dogs and other pets for family, friends, and neighbors. I have experience with walking, feeding, playtime, bathing, and giving pets plenty of attention and affection. I’m responsible, patient, and dependable, and I understand how important it is to have someone you trust caring for your pet. I treat every pet like they’re my own and make sure they feel safe, comfortable, and loved while their owners are away. I’m currently a college student, so I balance pet care around my class schedule. I have flexibility throughout the week, including mornings, afternoons, evenings, and weekends depending on my classes. I’m great at planning ahead and will make sure your pet gets the time, attention, and care they deserve. I always make pets’ safety and comfort my top priority. I carefully follow each owner’s instructions and routines, including feeding, walks, playtime, and any specific care needs. I’m responsible, attentive, and will make sure your pet feels comfortable, loved, and well cared for while you’re away.

About: I grew up on a farm. My mom raised puppies and kittens. Growing up I lived with at least eight dogs and eight cats at a time (in a small trailer). Now I live in a small house with room outside to walk a dog-- and can even take them to a trail or creek if you wish. I am not scared of aggressive animals. Some pets need more attention than others! I am a house cleaner from 7:30AM to about 11AM-3PM (it depends on the houses). However, I can make time to come home in between work for your pet. I am free all day on weekends. I have a small grass field, a safe neighborhood, and a cozy home. I make sure your pet always has water and food (unless otherwise specified) and attention.
“Savannah is wonderful! She has walked my two pugs several times, and they love her. She is professional, and she is a good communicator. I am so grateful to her! She clearly loves dogs, and she is so good to them.”

About: I am super flexible and comfortable with dog care. I currently have an energetic young german shepherd so I understand the importance of dogs getting lots of exercise so that they can relax throughout the day. The main breeds I have experience with are Labs/Retrievers, German Shepherds, Beagles, Mixed Breed herding dogs, and Horses! I understand when dogs want to play and when they need their own space to relax. I currently have a german shepherd that I exercise twice a day either by walking, hiking, fetching or chasing hose water. Typically, I do one of these activities in the morning and one in the evening. My dog is free fed throughout the day, but I am familiar with dogs that prefer the routine of scheduled feeding or don't have self control, so I am comfortable following the routine that the dog is used to. I have a great walkable neighborhood, but I am very familiar with great places to walk and hike with dogs throughout the city. I am a grad student with lots of flexibility so my schedule is different from week to week, during the summer I will have lots of time each day to spend with your pup, but during the year I will provide excersize but less one-on-one time. I have a fenced in yard and a 1900 square foot home with hard surfaced floors. I don't allow my dogs on furniture, but if your dog is used to it, that is not currently a concern. My fences are sturdy and chain link, and about four feet tall. I prefer dogs that are crate trained overnight, and am happy to provide my own crates for them to sleep in. If they are not, I would happy to set up a play pen environment for them to be in!
About: Hello! I hope this finds you well. When you book with me, you can rest assured you’ll be worry free! I bring a unique mix of veterinary experience and real world animal care. Before attending UCLA, I worked at a veterinary clinic where I administered medications, assisted with post op care, and handled pets of all temperaments. I’m comfortable with everything from kittens to senior pups. Growing up on a farm gave me hands on experience with dogs, cats, cattle, horses and a wide range of animals, so nothing fazes me. I focus on keeping pets calm, safe, and happy while providing owners with regular updates and peace of mind. My schedule is flexible. I adjust my schedule based on your pet’s needs. I’m an early riser, and I’m willing to wake up even earlier if needed. Routine medications are also available upon request. Safety is my first priority. I double check that all doors and gates are secure, keep a close eye on pets during outdoor time, and follow feeding and medication instructions precisely. Trust is everything, so I’ll ensure that you feel comfortable leaving your pet. I aim to keep pet(s) active with at least 3–4 walks or play sessions per day (adjusted to their needs) so they stay happy, healthy, and relaxed while you’re away.
About: I have stayed in homes for several days caring for three dogs, ensuring they received attention, exercise, and routine care. I’ve also provided traditional pet sitting services, checking in on dogs, feeding them, and taking them for walks. I am extremely detail-oriented and committed to following all instructions exactly as given to ensure pets remain comfortable, safe, and happy whether they are in their home environment or mine. I am a college student home for the summer and I am working a part time job 20 hours per week at Lake Forest Racquet Club. Therefore, I have a very flexible schedule as I usually only work from 7 A.M. to 12 P.M. four days a week. Whether caring for pets in my home or a client’s, I prioritize safety, structure, and stimulation. In a client’s home, I strictly follow all instructions and respect their space while maintaining a calm and clean environment for the pet. In my own home, I ensure pets receive plenty of attention, mental stimulation, and physical activity through regular walks and playtime. I truly strive to create a comfortable setting where pets feel secure and cared for at all times!
About: I've been around dogs for as long as I can remember — I got my first dog at six years old and have been caring for pets ever since. In college, I brought a dog into my own life, which taught me even more about responsibility, routine, and the importance of creating a safe and loving environment I’m available any time during the week and weekends! I would love to drop in to make sure your dogs okay or take them on a walk if needed! I have a fenced yard that my dog happily runs around at my home! I will do everything I can to ensure the safety for your pet!
About: I absolutely love dogs, especially medium to large breeds! My favorite breed is the German Shepherd. Over the past two years, I’ve gained more experience caring for other people’s pets, and having two German Shepherds of my own has given me so much experience and appreciation for spending time with dogs. I’m passionate about their well-being and making sure they feel happy, safe, and loved while in my care. I would love the opportunity to care for your furry family members and give them the attention and care they deserve! My schedule is flexible, and I’m happy to work with you to find a routine that works best for you and your pet! I’m generally available on Mondays, Wednesday and weekends, with additional availability depending on the day and time. On Tuesdays and Thursdays, I have a morning teaching commitment and afternoon tutoring responsibilities, but I have more flexibility outside of those hours. Fridays are currently reserved for my other commitments, so I’m not available that day. I’m happy to provide walks, drop-in visits, feeding, potty breaks, playtime, and companionship, while keeping your pet’s normal routine and needs in mind. My goal is to make sure your pet feels comfortable, cared for, and loved while you’re away! I care for every pet according to their individual needs, personality, and routine. In a client’s home, I make sure to follow the owner’s instructions closely, including feeding schedules, walks, potty breaks, playtime, and any other specific care routines. I’m also comfortable cleaning litter boxes, changing pee pads, and keeping the pet’s space clean and comfortable. I really value communication with pet parents and enjoy sending photos, updates, and checking in throughout the visit so you know how your pet is doing. Most importantly, I prioritize safety, patience, and making sure each pet feels comfortable, happy, and well cared for while you’re away.

About: I’ve grown up around dogs and currently have two of my own (a golden retriever and a terrier mix), so I understand how important it is to have someone caring and trustworthy looking after your pets. I’ve been dog walking and pet sitting for friends, family, and neighbors for years, and I’m comfortable with dogs of different sizes, personalities, and energy levels. I’m patient, reliable, and always make sure pets feel safe, comfortable, and cared for while their owners are away. I’m currently home from college for the summer, so I have a very flexible schedule and am available full time for pet care. This allows me to give pets lots of attention, walks, playtime, and consistent care throughout the day and week. When caring for pets in a client’s home, I always try to keep their routine as normal and comfortable as possible. I make sure pets are fed on schedule, get plenty of exercise and attention, and always have a safe and clean environment. I’m respectful of clients’ homes, keep owners updated, and make sure pets feel calm, comfortable, and cared for while they’re away.

About: I’ve taken care of dogs of all different sizes and personalities throughout my life, especially the last 6 years. Back home I have three dogs, including 2 Labrador retrievers and a chihuahua mix rescue. I used to dog sit for my neighbors every few months, typically for a week at a time. Now that I am at college at UA, I miss constantly being around dogs and I hope to fill that missing piece through Rover! I am great about exercising, feeding on time, and potty breaks. If you have any more questions feel free to ask! I’m currently working part-time, but will have plenty of time to check in on your pups :) My schedule is usually completely free during the day up until 4pm. I also get breaks at work and can stop in to let your furbaby out! I currently live in a spacious apartment with two of my best friends that also love dogs. We have a fenced-in dog park right next to our unit! It takes less than a minute walk from my door to the park.
About: Hi! My name is Emma and I’m a student at the Univeristy of Alabama! I’ve been dog sitting/walking throughout highschool and college, and I have a few pups of my own back home :) I’ve also done some dog fostering as well. Im currently a full time student, but have lots of free time during my day as an online student. I have a part time job aside from Rover, but am very flexible! I absolutely adore dogs and I take time to take mine on long walks daily when I’m back home from school. Exercise and play is super important to me!

About: I’ve had dogs since the literal day I was born. I have 4 dogs at home (labradors and labradoodles), and one dog currently with me! Spending time with dogs is one of my favorite things. I’ve raised puppies from birth and worked with sick puppies for two years. I am currently a full time student with part time work on Monday, Wednesday, and Saturday afternoons! I am free every morning, besides Thursdays and Tuesdays from 10:30-3! 🐾🐾🐾🐾🐾🐾🐾🐾 Here's a little look into my availability Monday:9-11:30 Tuesday: After 5:30 Wednesday:10:30-2:30, after 5:30 Thursday: After 5:30 Friday: 10:30-9:30 Saturday: 10:30-9:30 I will, sadly, not be able to house your pets, but I would be able to walk them in a variety of locations for you safely! I am reliable and able to handle animals of all sizes, my current dog is 40+ pounds and my family dog is 60+!

Kendall, thank you so much for all of your care and support these last few months! Your daily walks were very comforting to my dog which helped to ease the transition to our new home. We wish you all the best in the future and know you will excel in every endeavor! Safe travels to you! Please let us know when you are back - even to just say hi! Take care :)

I can’t say enough good things about Savannah. My pugs love her! She does what she says she will do, and she takes them on nice long walks. She also spends time playing with them. She makes the booking and planning so easy. We use her on a weekly basis. I feel better about going to work when I know she is taking care of my pups.
