Brandon was very diligent about keeping me posted throughout his house sitting assignment, including providing me with photos as well as how my dog was doing. I will reach out to him first going forward whenever I have a need for sitting my dog.

Karen was wonderful with my dog while I was out of town for the weekend. My scheduled sitter had something come up last minute and I was lucky enough to find Karen available! I came home to a very happy and well-taken care of pup!

Dolly had a fun, relaxing time in Khalia’s care. We’re so grateful Khalia was available to play and keep Dolly company while we visited family.

About: I was always had furry siblings but have graduated to a cat mama. I enjoy creating personal heavens for our companions. Reliable, punctual and kind. I have a full-time job that pays the bills but I am looking for ways to feed my soul. Overnights are great as well as drop ins. I would prefer to host at client's homes as my current home does not allow dogs. Willing to board or take cats overnight. Let's make it a sleepover!

About: I have experience caring for a variety of pets with different needs and routines. I have taken care of a 1-year-old cat along with 3 other adult cats, including a cat who required at least 30 minutes of playtime and interaction every day. I have also cared for a large dog who ate home-cooked soup mixed with his food at specific feeding times, as well as a husky who stayed in an air-conditioned dog house unit and required daily vitamins and attentive care. I am good at following direction for the desired care you and your pet need. I work remotely and any activities I plan I would plan around a schedule if at all with the pet in mind. I will plan in advance for the openings I have in my schedule to permit me to be with the pet. I typically stay in the pets home to create a less stressful environment for the pet and go about its daily routine as instructed by the pet owner. I will stay as long as required by the pet owner or stay in a guest bedroom all day depending on what makes the pet owner most comfortable with.

About: I have over five years of pet sitting experience and began caring for pets back in high school, where I built a pet sitting business of my own. Through that experience, I learned how important reliability, communication, patience, and personalized care are for both pets and their owners. I’m comfortable with dogs, cats, multiple-pet households, walks, feeding routines, playtime, and providing companionship. I also have many past clients in Florida who would gladly speak highly of my care and professionalism. As a pet owner myself with two dogs and one cat, I understand that pets are family and deserve genuine love and attention. I will be relocating to Homewood in mid-May and will have a very flexible summer schedule while taking online classes. This allows me to be available throughout the week for walks, drop-ins, pet sitting, and last-minute needs. Because I travel by bike or electric scooter, I’m focusing on nearby clients so I can provide dependable, punctual care and consistent availability. Safety and trust are always my top priorities when caring for pets. In a client’s home, I carefully follow feeding schedules, walking routines, medication instructions, and household preferences to keep pets comfortable in their familiar environment. I make sure doors, gates, leashes, and surroundings are secure at all times. I provide gentle attention, exercise, companionship, and updates so owners feel confident knowing their pets are in caring and reliable hands.

About: I was born and raised with Dobermans by my side, but my expertise does not just span large dogs--but also small dogs, puppies, seniors, cats, and other furry friends. I’ve been a reliable pet sitter, taking care of my friend’s and family’s cats and dogs. I’ve ensured they’re well-fed, entertained, and they have taken care of business 💩. I’ve stayed at homes and made drop-in visits, so I can provide flexible care. I understand that your pets are like family members, so I’ll treat them with the same patience and respect they deserve! I am currently working part time at an office and applying for other jobs. I have a lot of extra time on my hands and I am looking to fill it by spending time with animals and getting my steps in! I am open for last minute bookings!!! I prioritize your pet’s comfort by following your specific care routine. My process begins by gaining your pet's trust through a calm, patient approach, ensuring they feel safe before we dive into anything. I like to keep the line of communication open with the pet parent to ensure transparency throughout the whole process. I maintain a consistent schedule for feeding, potty breaks, and affection to minimize any anxiety they may face without their typical routine away from parents.

About: Ive always had a love for animals, there was never a time my house didn’t have at least one. I have taken in strays, fosters and cared for friends and families dogs when in need and they always bring them back. I currently work Tuesday and Thursday evening and go to church on Saturdays. I am usually home otherwise so I will have plenty of time to care for your pets, play and take them out. I am very flexible and can fit the needs depending on your pet. I am always attentive when caring for any animal and am good at following plans and schedules that they have. I am able to take dogs out and or walk them. I have an enthusiastic cane corso myself so I am very use to larger animals and can handle many behaviors even if needing to work on them.

About: 🐶❤️ I've cared for dogs of all sizes and personalities for friends, family, and neighbors, making sure they receive the attention and care they need. I provide feeding and fresh water 🥣, walks and exercise 🚶‍♂️🐕, playtime 🎾, and lots of love and companionship 🐾. I'm reliable ✅, responsible ⭐, and always follow owners' instructions carefully to keep pets safe and happy. Whether it's an energetic puppy or a senior dog, I make sure every dog feels comfortable, cared for, and loved while their family is away Free pretty much all the time especially during summer sometimes I have to make emergency trips to New York for short periods of time but not often! I have a fenced yard, huge backyard for the pups to play in and have fun as well as toys and more my neighborhood is pretty secure and safe. As far as pups being in my home they will be treated as my own food water the essentials many belly rubs playing around and naps so much more. I currently have a very small pit bull he’s very friendly and he’s just a baby so he’s harmless.

About: I grew up with a dog, multiple cats, and even a few goldfish, so caring for animals has been part of my life for a long time. As an adult, I’ve also cared for multiple house cats and a dog, and I’m comfortable with different breeds, temperaments, ages, and routines. I’ve spent time with orange tabbies, senior cats, Himalayan cats, terriers, Italian greyhounds, chows, and labs. I’ve played with both puppies and older dogs, and I’ve literally watched dogs grow up. I’m also comfortable with unaltered, neutered, and spayed pets. What sets me apart is the way I pay attention. I understand that pets have different personalities and needs, and I care for them with patience, gentleness, and respect. I’m the friend who visits people and somehow ends up with their cats and dogs sitting right by me. I’m currently building a small business, which gives me a flexible schedule and allows me to be present, attentive, and consistent with pet care. I have room in my routine to spend quality time with your fur family and make sure they get the care, comfort, and attention they need. I care for pets with patience, gentleness, and close attention to their needs, routines, and personalities. In a client’s home, I aim to keep things calm, clean, and consistent so pets feel safe and comfortable in their own environment. I understand that trust matters, and I treat both pets and people’s homes with respect.

About: 🚨PLEASE READ BEFORE BOOKING 🚨 Hey there! 🐾 Caring for animals isn’t just something I do - it’s truly the heartbeat of my everyday life. I’ve poured my whole heart into 𝘍𝘶𝘳 𝘵𝘩𝘦 𝘓𝘰𝘷𝘦 𝘗𝘦𝘵 𝘚𝘪𝘵𝘵𝘪𝘯𝘨 - a personal project I started out of love for animals and a desire to create a safe, clean, happy place for them. Through that journey, i’ve been able to care for pets of all ages, sizes, and needs, and it’s taught me so much about patience, responsibility, and the joy animals bring into our lives 🥰 Over the years, i’ve worked with everything from energetic puppies just learning the ropes - to senior dogs needing gentle routines + extra support. I’m confident handling multiple dogs at once, caring for pets with special diets or medical needs, and maintaining the structure and consistency that helps your babies feel comfortable while your away. I treat every fur baby like family. I know the trust it takes to leave your pets in someone else’s care, and I take that responsibility seriously 💛 ALL dogs must be up to date on all their vaccines + must be on a flea preventative. Making sure that they’re all protected while in my care is important to me - health + safety comes first 💉 My days are always full walks, treats, happy chaos, and lots of love 💕 I’ve built my days around family, school, and animals - which means caring for pets flows right into everything I do. I love being outdoors, staying active, and having a routine - which makes caring for pets the perfect daily companions. I start our mornings off with a nice walk - lots of playtime out back in the backyard throughout the day - and a nice walk, after dinner, to wind down for the night. During + inbetween, i’m juggling being a full time student working towards my bachelors + keeping lit little flock of chickens happy at home 🐓 I’ve mastered balancing schedules while making sure your fur baby feels seen, safe, and loved. Your babies routine becomes my routine - they’ll always have me by their side ✨ When your fur babies are with me, they’re in a space designed just for them - clean, cozy, and full of love 🐾 I keep everything clean + pet safe. I use gentle, pet friendly cleaning supplies and candles that keep the house fresh without ever putting pets at risk. I also provide safe play spaces, cozy resting spots, and a lot of supervision to make sure everyone feels right at home🫶🏽 When i’m in your home, I bring that same level of respect + care - sticking to your routines, keeping spaces tidy, and giving your babies the consistency they need to feel secure 🔐

Crystal was so nice to work with! She took time out of her day to meet Moose and myself before watching him over the weekend. She followed instructions, asked questions when needed, and went above and beyond to ensure that Moose was safe, healthy, and happy! I would definitely rebook her for any future pet sitting needs :)

About: I fell in love with dogs ever since my grandma took me with her to get a husky. Bravo felt like mine and i’ve been helping her take care of him since I was 8 I am a college athlete and spend a lot of time training. I am pretty flexible with my schedule now and I believe this can be too! In a client’s home, I respect the pet’s routine and the owner’s instructions carefully. I will treat their home like it’s my own, keeping it tidy and clean. I will be communicative, giving updates and pictures. My goal is to make your fur baby feel relaxed and loved in whichever environment they are in.

This was our first time using Rover. My husband and I went on a week-long trip, and we couldn't find anyone to watch our 2 kitties overnight. I was nervous because I usually like to have family watch them, as I know them. After meeting Khalia, I could tell she cared for animals, and it made me feel better. She did a great job with our little chaos gremlins, and they felt safe with her! She left everything nice and clean, respected our home, and gave us updates with pictures. The pics meant a lot! I'm a worried cat momma, so this helped with us being so far away. We'll continue to reach out to her when we need a cat sitter!
