“We couldn’t have asked for a better dog sitter than Grace! She took wonderful care of our dog Tilly while we were away for our engagement party. From the start, Grace was incredibly responsive and made sure she understood everything she needed to know about Tilly’s care. She checked in on her three times throughout the day and kept us updated with messages and adorable photos during each visit, which gave us such peace of mind. It was clear that Tilly was comfortable and happy in her care. We’re so grateful for Grace’s reliability and attentiveness—highly recommend her to anyone looking for a thoughtful and responsible sitter!”
“Megan is a wonderful cat sitter! I loved the daily pictures she sent of my kitties. They were all well cared for and my extremely shy cat even warmed up to Megan. She’s trustworthy, which is important to me. I would definitely recommend her!”
About: I have taken care of and loved animals since early childhood, getting my first dog at 6 years old. My father goes on work trips several times a month and I am able to balance taking care of my dog with my college and work schedule. I take Abby, my current labrador, to the park and lake often, prioritizing her health and love for the outdoors. I am a college student, but have plenty of time to take care of your pets. I am free in the evenings on weekdays and on weekends. In my client's home, I will treat their pets and space with respect. On top of basic needs such as feeding them and giving them water, I will play with them outside ( if there is an area for that) and shower them with attention
“Jennifer was absolutely awesome! She was so easy to communicate with, kept our cats happy and fed, brought a package in the house, and helped me figure out how to adjust the dates when I put the wrong ones in! As long as she's willing to help us, she will always be our choice! Thank you so so much Jennifer!”
“Jordan has a great eye for detail and I can tell my babies miss her after her stay. Each visit is accompanied by little notes and cute pictures, I recommend Jordan to all my friends and neighborhood paws!”
“Zoe was amazing. She made me feel so at ease knowing that I had a reliable cat sitter to watch my babies. She sent pictures every visit and had great communication. I would recommend Zoe every time and 1000% use her again!”
About: I’ve been around dogs my whole life—since I was 5 years old. My mom is a dog groomer, and I worked with her for years, which gave me hands-on experience with dogs of all sizes, temperaments, and needs. I currently have three of my own, ranging from 40 to 190 lbs, so I’m very comfortable handling large breeds and high-energy pups. I’m confident with everything from basic care to reading dog body language and managing senior or anxious dogs with patience and calm energy. I work from home, so I’m home all day and able to give your pet plenty of attention, playtime, and potty breaks. My flexible schedule means I can easily stick to your dog’s routine and be available for walks, feedings, and cuddle time throughout the day. Whether I’m caring for pets in my home or yours, safety and comfort are always my top priorities. I take the time to understand each pet’s routine, personality, and any special needs or quirks. I follow instructions closely, keep a clean and calm environment, and never leave pets unattended in unsafe situations. I also give regular updates so you always know how your pet is doing. My goal is to make sure they feel secure, happy, and at home—wherever they are.
About: Hello, my name is Alex! Animals have always been an interest of mine (fun fact: my favorite animal is the grizzly bear) and I love caring for them! I've been taking care of my family dogs for the last 5 years and recently adopted my kitty a little over a year ago. Outside of that, I volunteer at my local shelter and have been hired to walk dogs by neighbors as well as dog/ house sit from time to time. I may be new to Rover but I am not new to being dependable and responsible! I am currently a Junior in college and do not work a job during the academic year. My main constraint is classes when school is in session, but other than that I will work diligently to fit into whatever schedule is needed of me! I know how difficult it can be to trust someone else with your pet. This is why I do my absolute best to make sure each fur baby is treated with the same love and care that I would want for my own. My goal is to give them - and you - the absolute best experience possible.
About: I had a Tibetan Terrier who lived to be 14 years old, so I've had plenty of senior pet care experience, as well as administering medications. I currently have a golden retriever who is about little over 1 year old who I got at 8 weeks so plenty of puppy experience as well. I've trained both of my dogs to do many tricks. I've never owned a cat but I've pet sit for plenty. I'm taking classes at the University of Alabama so whenver I'm not in class or taking care of my own dog, I'm free. Especially weekends, afternoons, and evening. I can take your dog on walks or if you have a fenced in yard I can go hang out with them in the backyard.
About: Ive always lived with either dogs, cats, fish, or reptiles. Animals have always been apart of my life and they will continue to be so. I work full time during the week but I make my own schedule so I am flexible. I am primarily available for Friday- Sunday pet care. I own a german shepherd Harley who is 5 and has to have topical drops and medicine given orally daily. So I am decently experienced in giving medication and will treat you pet as my own while taking care of them.
About: I have been an avid pet lover, owner, and caregiver my entire life! Throughout my teenage years I worked, and rode, for many top equestrian facilities in Georgia providing weekend barn care such as stall cleaning, feeding, and turnout. I have provided farm/pet sitting for numerous clients, friends, and families over the years, being solely responsible for up to 30 horses, as well as their pets, at one time. Most recently, I have 5 years of experience working in the veterinary industry. I currently have 2 dogs! A 4 year old Golden Retriever and a 7 year old Shepsky who both are my best friends! I currently do work full-time in Birmingham, however I am off every Friday and available on weekends as well! Mondays-Fridays I can provide afternoon and evening pet care services as well. At home, we have a fully fenced in yard and both of our dogs are friendly and love to play! I can also crate your pets if need be, and am comfortable administering oral/topical medications.
About: I love animals and have been around them my whole life. I have taken care of many dogs throughout my years of all different ages. I love meeting new animals and getting to know new breeds! I am a full time student so I have classes everyday but feel free to reach out and we can work with scheduling! I’m pretty flexible and would love to move things around to help! I would love to do various things. Like running, walks, training! If I were to go to the owners home it’s very important that I am given specific instructions just so I know I am prepared and ready!
