“Samantha did great with Bear. She was communicative and provided regular updates while I was out of town for the weekend. She also took great care of the place. I would definitely recommend Samantha to anybody looking for a dog sitter”
“Such a wonderful young man! So respectful and so willing to communicate. I love that he sends pictures also which eases my anxiety about being away from emotional support pups.”
About: I’ve been around dogs and cats since I was a child. I take care of my parents dogs all the time they have 3 Labradors and 1 chihuahua mix. I know how to work with dogs who have tons of energy and dogs who love to sleep all day. I promise to make sure your babies are taken care of the way I would want someone to take care of my dogs. I can’t wait to meet your pets and show them so much love! I am a full time student at Auburn but my classes are spread out throughout the day so I will have time to check on or walk your babies often. I also work at a daycare on Tuesdays and Thursdays from 4-6pm and Fridays 2-6pm, so I can stop by for a walk before work and after work! I live in an apartment so I don’t have a yard, but there are plenty of places to go on walks around me. I can and will make any accommodations that you need for you pet.
“Haley was WONDERFUL! She was so kind and loving with my dog, and they bonded immediately. Considerate, on time, and very professional. Will definitely book with her again!”
About: I’ve cared for multiple pups (and cats) over my 9 years of being with them. I’m very open to constructive criticism because I want to be able to get to know you, and your pet. I love animals, and enjoy being around them all day, I’ve already worked part-time at a boarding/ day care facility, and I’m hoping to extend my time (full-time) to care for your fur babies! I’m always around dogs, cats, birds, and any pet you could probably think of, with enough information and research, I’m sure I’ll be the perfect caregiver for your cat or dog. I’ll care for any pet as long as I have some form of base instruction (feeding, bed time, how many potty breaks, etc) if you expect me to take your pup out 20 times a day, then I’ll do that! It would be very nice to know before hand though. I’ll personally make a list of the expectations you have for me!
About: I’ve cared for my two family dogs, Adonis & Asha, since I was 13, gaining hands-on experience with daily routines like feeding, walking, bathing, and providing lots of love and attention. While I haven’t done professional pet sitting yet, I understand how important it is to treat pets like family. I’m reliable, caring, and committed to making sure your pet feels safe and happy while you’re away. I’m currently working part-time, while getting my Master’s at Auburn online! So I’m free pretty much all day long to care for and love on your pups while you’re away! When caring for pets in a client’s home, I do my best to follow the pet’s normal routine so they feel safe and comfortable. I make sure they’re fed on time, get plenty of playtime or walks, and have a clean space. I also pay close attention to any special instructions—whether it’s medications, quirks, or favorite toys. I treat every pet like they’re my own, with patience, care, and love.
“Hensley is wonderful! She was very flexible with my changing plans, responsive, and kind. Most importantly she was incredible with my sweet Ziggy. He adored her! I highly recommend Hensley to care for your pup!”
“Selena was able to watch our fur babies on fairly short notice in our home. Our babies seemed to like her and they were in good spirits upon our return home. We would use Selena again!”
“I absolutely loved Emily for the i day I had her, unexpectedly I had a son come home from out of town working who had got into a disagreement with his girlfriend and had been drinking who just came by not knowing I was out of town to stay the evening and she understandably didn’t feel comfortable completing the contract and couldn’t iboard Lucy bc she has cats. Piecing together alternate drop ins for the remaining 3 days did not even compare to her and was very disappointed to not complete the contract as she was very efficient, kind, easy to work with sent pictures communicated exceptionally well and knew I had nothing to worry about and felt complete at peace and assured my dog was in the greatest of hands. In light of the unexpected situation she thankfully didn’t terminate me on Rover and effect my account standing and was understanding of the unexpected circumstances and understandably not feeling comfortable staying overnight. I’m new to Rover and she was my first experience and will say inspite of the early termination and lost payment the experience I did have with Emily made it a great. I would recommend if new to Rover setting up contingency plans and or making sure if situations arise unexpected drop in services are ok as alternative to in house so you don’t have to double pay for sitters. In light of it all Emily was very understanding communicated well and bc of how impressed I was with the communication and the 1 day of sitter care I bought her a gift back from my vacation as a thank you for the pictures and constant reassurance Lucy was in good hands. I had to meet up with her to give her some things that she left at the house and was gracious and understanding of the unexpected circumstance and apologized for not completing the contract and feeling comfortable with boarding staying or changing to drop in. Thankfully my sister and friend were able to come by once a day and it eased the extreme stress of not having a sitter and not even anticipating making back up plans but as I stated was a learning curve with utilizing the Rover app. I would use Rover again but just make sure to discuss contingency plans and flexibility in case of unexpected circumstances.. I would also recommend Emily highly she was a great sitter but just make sure to discuss contingency plans for unexpected events or have a back up plan.”
About: I’ve grown up around animals and have over 10 years of experience taking care of pets of all kinds — dogs, cats, fish, and more. I know how important it is to keep them safe, happy, and comfortable, and I’ll always care for them like family! I’m a college student who goes to class in person, but my schedule is flexible enough that I always make time for pets. Walks, playtime, feeding, and just hanging out with them easily fit into my day. Taking care of pets is something I really enjoy, so I make it a priority! At your house or mine, I’ll make sure your pet feels comfortable and safe. I stick to their normal routine and give them plenty of attention and play, so they feel right at home. Whether it’s exercise, feeding, or just keeping them company, I’ll make sure they’re well taken care of!
About: I’ve taken care of pets for almost a decade- I’m confident and able to feed, walk, play with, and take great care of your pet. Many tail wags, purrs, and cuddles guaranteed! I had a dog growing up and a cat now, so I’m very used to having a pet in my home and the many responsibilities that come along with taking care of them. I genuinely enjoy being there for my pets because no matter what, they always make my days better. My pets have always been well-fed and exercised, both contributing to their overall health and well-being. I make sure to clean up any messes if anything happens and will always leave the house better than I found it!
About: Hiii! I am Abby— work for the University and I am a grad student, I have two dogs and two cats at my home in Birmingham. While I am here in Auburn I would love to take care of your pets- I come with lots of updates and pictures to reassure you your pets are safe and happy! I currently work full-time at the university I have a flexible lunch break, and get home around 5 every day. I am totally free on weekends! I will move in October and will then have a backyard, but for now I can come to you and take care of your pets!
About: I’ve cared for dogs my entire life, from playful puppies to seniors needing extra attention. One life experience that truly sets me apart is caring for my own dog who has frequent seizures. Through that, I learned how to stay calm in urgent situations, follow a care plan precisely, and provide comfort and reassurance when a dog is scared or disoriented. This experience has given me the skills and confidence to handle special medical needs with patience, compassion, and reliability. I’m currently a sophomore at Auburn, and my class schedule is Monday–Thursday from 8–9:50 a.m. and Monday–Wednesday from 12:30–1:50 p.m. Outside of those times, I’m completely free and can be flexible to whatever a customer needs. Pet care easily fits into my daily and weekly routine because I have large blocks of time throughout the day for walks, playtime, and check-ins, as well as evenings and weekends open for longer stays or overnight care." Whether I’m caring for pets in my home or in a client’s home, my priority is making them feel safe, comfortable, and loved. I follow each pet’s normal routine for feeding, walks, playtime, and rest, so they feel at ease even when their owner is away. I give plenty of attention and affection, keep water bowls full, and make sure they get the right amount of exercise. If a pet has special needs, like medication or medical conditions, I follow instructions carefully and keep owners updated with photos and messages so they can feel confident their pet is happy and well cared for.
