“A'meia was fantastic!!! This was my first time using Rover and it was so simple and stress-free thanks to A'meia. She was respectful of all my requests and specifications for my animals, quick to respond to any messages I sent, and diligent in providing picture and video updates throughout the day. I was nervous about leaving my dogs while I traveled, but A'meia easily cared for my home while I was away. I will request her in the future for any other house-sitting needs!”

“This is our first time to use Lizzy and she was amazing with our fur babies. She sent us pictures throughout the weekend which was very much appreciated. The house was clean when we got home, you couldn’t tell that she had stayed there all weekend. But most importantly, our dogs were happy and well taken care of. We will definitely be using Lizzy again!!”

7. Katie W.
About: As a dog owner myself, I know how important it is for your babies to have the best care they can. With over a year of experience taking care of fur babies, I do my best to do just that. I love being able to spend quality time with pets and giving them the love and attention they deserve! As a full time student at South Alabama, it’s very important that I find time to do something that I love, and taking care of animals is one of those things. Though I typically have classes all day on Mondays and Wednesdays, the other days of the week are mostly open for me to come in and spend some quality time with your pets! We can always discuss more details and what will work best for you and your baby! By coming in-home to take care of your pet, I offer them the safety and comfort of being in their own home, but I can also take them places like the park to get their energy out and let them have some fun!
8. Michelle F.
“Michelle is awesome. I used her for a few day drop ins at lunch, and most recently for 5 days and nights while we were away on vacation. She took great care of the dogs, the cat, and the house! She sent daily pictures. Michelle is a very responsible pet sitter and i'm glad we found her.”
9. Rikki F.

11. Charsy H.

12. Piper T.
“I will never be able to fully express how AMAZING Piper is!! She is so kind and attentive to all my animals needs, I’ll never find someone better. She listened to everything I said, and if she had any confusion she always double checked with me before doing something. She cared for my animals as if they were her own and showed them so much love!! Thank you Piper!”
13. Victoria P.
“Victoria was excellent with our kitten while we were away for a week. I was nervous to leave her, as she requires a lot of social interaction. But Victoria made us feel so comfortable. She sent pictures multiple times daily. Even when our kitten had some tummy issues 💩, Victoria took great care of her. We will definitely use Victoria again.”
14. Alyssa W.
“We couldn’t be more thrilled with the care Alyssa provided for our furry family members while we were out of town for the holiday! She went above and beyond, ensuring our girls were not only well-fed and exercised but also showered with love and attention. Her regular updates, including pictures and messages, gave us complete peace of mind, knowing our pup was in the best hands. It was clear Alyssa genuinely cared, treating our home and our dog as if they were her own. Coming back to a happy, relaxed pups confirmed just how exceptional she is. We highly recommend Alyssa to anyone looking for a reliable, kind, and dedicated pet sitter. We will def be booking again! Thank you, Alyssa, for being amazing!”

“Alli is amazing! She sends daily updates, pictures, and her communication is wonderful. I feel so much better about leaving my pup when Alli is house sitting!”
17. Jared C.
About: I know how hard it is to keep up with a busy schedule or deal with things that pop up such as parents who are allergic staying over! I love filling my extra time in with pets and making sure that they don’t go lonely and all their needs are met. I’ve volunteered at shelters since middle school until visiting a shelter and becoming a pet dad myself. As a young adult I’m looking for a lot of money making opportunities so I would definitely be willing to pet sit or pet walk as many times as you would want me to. I’m really just mostly excited to meet so many differing personalities in these pets. Currently, I’m an entrepreneur who works with the family business so I have a lot of flexibility, especially during the afternoons and on weekends. We could definitely talk to work out a great schedule that benefits you. I have a cat of my own, and am used to caring and looking after my brother’s dog. If need be, I know how to separate and take care of animals with differing personalities in the same household
18. Kiana D.
“Kiana is wonderful!! Our babies were in such good hands while we were out of town. I didn’t have to worry about them at all! She communicated often and sent the cutest pictures!! We’ve already booked her for a future sit!”
19. Keifer B.
“Keifer is an outstanding sitter! He sat my three dogs, 2 males and 1 female at my home for 8 days while I was out of town. He went above and beyond to make sure my babies were properly cared for and he kept me well informed. He's highly capable and very compassionate! He administered prescription eye drops to one of my dogs, took all three of them on regular walks, sent me messages, videos, and pictures and treated them as if they were his family. I will definitely ask for his help again in the future!!! Excellent sitter!!”
20. Hunter M.
“Hunter is amazing!! She did great with our fur babies and kept the house spotless! Very good at communication with us and sending the cutest pictures! Will definitely contact her again!”
