“Karmen was absolutely wonderful with my two dogs, Ghost and Luna (a Frenchie and a Cane Corso), which is no small task considering their very different personalities and energy levels. From the start she was communicative, reliable, and clearly comfortable handling larger breeds as well as more sensitive ones. She kept me updated, made sure they stayed on their routine, and most importantly they were relaxed and happy when I returned home-she even sent pictures; that tells me everything. I never felt worried while I was away, which is rare when you have dogs you’re very attached to. I would confidently trust Karmen with them again and highly recommend her to anyone looking for a dependable and caring sitter.”

“Omggg 10/10. Very convenient and helpful. Ariana was able to take my Flossy on a late night when I had an unexpected trip. Ariana was able to accommodate and modify the booking with my weird schedule. She listened to her food needs & informed me everything going on with her & updates either pictures. Definitely see us booking again in the near future if need be.”

“Kristie is the best! My dogs are very particular and have never been away from me! She sent pictures and videos of the happy and playing and even laying with her in bed! I would 100% recommend her for babysitting your fur babies! She is AMAZING !!!”

“Jessica took great care of our dog during a 4-night stay. Communication was easy, drop-off and pick-up were smooth, and everything went just as expected. Our dog came home happy and well cared for. Would book with her again!”

“Spirit loves staying with Cheryl she and Cheryl‘s dog. Gucci are great friends. We highly recommend them for anyone in the area or traveling through the area that needs a place to board their dog.”

About: I’ve always been around animals and naturally treat pets like family. I’m patient, attentive, and good at reading animal behavior, especially with nervous, energetic, or stubborn pets lol. I understand that every pet has their own personality and routine, so I try to keep them comfortable, safe, and stress-free while their owners are away. I’m dependable with feeding schedules, potty breaks, walks, playtime, cleanup, and giving pets attention instead of just “checking in and leaving.” I also know how important communication is, so I make sure owners stay updated with messages and pictures. Pet care fits naturally into my routine because I’m used to being active throughout the day and handling responsibilities that require consistency and attention. I can work around feeding schedules, potty breaks, walks, medication reminders, and playtime. I understand pets need stability and patience, especially when their owners are away, so I make sure they get attention, exercise, and care instead of just being left alone. I also try to stay flexible for last-minute needs when possible. Cats have their own quiet, separate space where they can feel safe, comfortable, and relaxed without needing to interact with dogs unless they’re comfortable doing so. I understand cats usually do best with calm environments, patience, and giving them space to adjust at their own pace. 🐱
“I left my dog bowls at home and she had some which was a life saver. She listened to all of my instructions and she responded very fast and sent pictures of Marley to me. I think I was more nervous than my Marley. Highly recommend and will use her in the future ?”


“Crissy, is absolutely AMAZING!! She had our gsp Lucy for 3 nights and sent many pics along the way. Lucy was happy, and delighted to spend time with miss crissy and play with puppies. If you’re in the Starkville area I highly recommend her services. Thank you crissy!”

“Our pup was very well taken care of. She communicated regularly, send us photos and videos of playtime, and was able to drop him back off at our house after the visit, which worked great for us.”

About: I’m a student at UWG, sadly I couldn’t take my dogs with me but I’m hoping rover opens up an opportunity for me to still be around animals! I have pet sit multiple times before for friends but have never signed up for an app, I’m excited to get started! I’m currently in school, but only for around 4 hours a day so I am very flexible and have plenty of time to care for your pets! If I am house sitting, I will walk them through whatever routine is told to me, and be sure to play with them often. I will make sure all of the doors are locked when entering and leaving the house, and make sure all belongings stay safe.
About: I have worked many years in animal rescue and rehabilitation, I can work with the newest puppy members or the senior fur baby. I can keep them on your schedule or keep it relaxed whatever you need. I can continue with leash, house/potty, crate, or any other trainings. I've worked with multiple animals breeds and personalities, all would be loved and cared for. I work from home so my schedule is pretty open. I'm near many walking trails to stretch our legs or many cozy places for the fur babies to cuddle up and take a nap. I have many toys and space for play, I can accommodate crates or other needed accessories to help your fur baby and create that home away from home feeling. I have oncle cat that has been raised around cats, dogs, children, and other small animals, he's friendly with everyone. I can do overnights or drop ins for those unexpected life moments. I'm near many parks and trails so your fur baby would get the exercise they need.
About: Hi! I’m Jaclyn, (please message for most accurate prices and discounts) and I have a flexible schedule with plenty of time to care for your pets while you’re away. I’m comfortable with dogs, cats, reptiles, and other pets with clear care instructions. I’m happy to work with shy, anxious, energetic, or special-needs pets and will always discuss any behavioral concerns before boarding. I’ll follow your pet’s normal routine and keep you updated while they’re in my care. Please message me with any questions or special requests.

Frequently asked questions about Rover
Rover is the largest marketplace for local pet care. Whether you're looking for pet sitters, dog walkers, or house sitters who specialize in pet sitting, you can narrow your search by entering your ZIP code to find sitters within walking distance in your neighborhood.
Every sitter on Rover has their own routine. Depending on the arrangements you agree on before the stay, a sitter can follow your dog’s regular feeding schedule, provide a comfortable place to sleep, offer companionship, and support their usual exercise and play needs.
Depending on the sitter, their home environment, and your dog’s needs, daily exercise may include walks, outdoor play, indoor enrichment activities, or supervised play with compatible dogs. These activities are not automatically included with every booking, so ask the sitter what a typical day looks like.
During the Meet & Greet, discuss your dog’s usual exercise and play routine, whether they can safely interact with other dogs, and any activities or restrictions the sitter should follow. You can also ask the sitter to send photo and message updates during the stay so you can see how your dog is spending their time.
Preparing for drop-off is easy when you have a checklist! To help your dog settle into their Lofty home-away-from-home, we recommend packing:
- Health and safety essentials such as their ID tags, vaccination records, medication, and emergency vet or secondary caregiver contacts.
- Food and gear such as harnesses, collars, food (portioned by day), and an item that smells like you.
- Special instructions such as a list of training cues, medical administration needs, or favorite hang-out spots in your Lofty.
<b>Tip:</b> You can upload your dog’s routine and medical info directly onto their profile so your sitter always has the details at their fingertips.
You and your Lofty sitter can schedule drop-off and pick-up in a way that works best for the both of you—and your dog. Most sitters offer flexible times for drop-off and pick-up but the easiest way to confirm those times will be through in-app messaging. Confirm your arrival time the day of pick-up and drop-off can also help keep the process smooth and organized.
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.
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 .
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 AL 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.
If a health concern arises during a stay, your sitter is instructed to contact you and our Trust & Safety team immediately and, if needed, take your dog to the closest veterinarian. Through our Trust & Safety support team, sitters can ask for diagnostic advice from a qualified veterinary professional if your dog is showing signs of possible illness.
For extra peace of mind, you can also prepare an authorization form for your regular vet. An authorization form outlines your preferred method of care and allows your sitter to bring your pet into their regular clinic.
Every qualified booking made on Rover is backed by the Rover Guarantee, which includes reimbursement for eligible emergency vet care.
