“Sandy took really good care of my cats and did additional things that like cleaning up cat throw up and vacuuming. Her communication with me about what was going on with my cats was outstanding and sent me many pictures so I could see them.”

“Amelia was great with my two cats, who are usually skittish around people they don’t know. She was able to interact with them and sent really good photo uodates every day.”

“Not all petsitters understand cats, but Michael clearly does and enjoys getting to know their individual personalities. He did an outstanding job of maintaining our two cats' normal meal schedule while we were away and giving them the attention they love to get.”


About: I have 15 years of experience caring for dogs and truly enjoy spending time with animals of all kinds. I am reliable, patient, and attentive to each pet’s individual needs and personality. Friends, family, and neighbors have trusted me to walk, feed, bathe, and care for their dogs while they were away. I always make sure pets feel safe, comfortable, loved, and well cared for at all times. I am available weekdays after 2:40 PM and have flexible availability on weekends. I make it a priority to give pets the time, attention, exercise, and care they need while their owners are away. Please note that I am currently unavailable on holidays. I always prioritize the safety, comfort, and well-being of every pet in my care. I create a calm, clean, and loving environment where pets can feel secure and relaxed. I carefully follow each owner’s instructions regarding feeding schedules, routines, medications, walks, and playtime to ensure pets remain comfortable and cared for. I treat every pet with patience, kindness, and the same level of attention I would give my own animals.
“I always use Brenda for pet sitting. Every time I come back, my cat is happy and clearly well cared for, which gives me so much peace of mind while I’m away. I trust her completely.”

“Maegan did an excellent job with her drop-bys and walks with my dog Birdie this past week. I could tell it was going to be a good match when she stopped by for an introduction a couple of days prior. She asked all the questions and took good notes. She provided very detailed updates with lots of pictures each day. I loved how intuitive she was with Birdie, and let her lead the way on how their time was spent. I’ll definitely be using Maegan’s services again.”

About: I am a full-time employee who works from home, and want to take full advantage of my flexible schedule! I am experienced with pet sitting and walking as I have done so for multiple years, and I love all types of animals. I can walk long distances with dogs (willing to go around 3 miles) if needed and is willing to adapt to the special needs of individual animals. I can make house visits several times on my free days, and I am more than willing to play with and entertain your pet! I am a very thorough person who can follow instructions well, so I can be trusted for any walking or sitting assignment. I will always make sure your pet is well cared for and has the best experience possible! I work flexibly from 9-5, with the ability to pivot my day depending on meetings and other responsibilities. I can adjust my work to take the best care of your animal! I will avoid bringing pets into my own home for the comfort of my very anxious rescue kitty. In your home, I will follow your instructions diligently and take time to bond with your animal to ensure safety and comfort.
About: Growing up we were a pet family - included cats, dogs, rats (I know), hamsters, fish, and reptiles. As an adult I have been responsible for caring for the pets of my friends and family. Including "high maintenance dogs, e.g requiring medication 3 times a day, needing an ointment on their skin etc. I have looked after dogs and cats ranging from a few months to end of life care, including those visually impaired. I currently have no pets of my own so am looking forward to devoting my care to your pet. My full-time job is flexible in terms of hours and I can work from home if your pet needs extra attention. This allows for the flexibility for scheduling walks or boarding. I am available most days for all activities depending on the day. I have a pet friendly home in a beautiful area of Midtown so if walks are needed it the best environment. Other pets would need their homes if they require (crate, terrarium etc). I live in a clean, calm, environment that all pets can enjoy.

About: I have been a dog sitter before and I have a dog of my own which I have had since she was a puppy, I love all animals and love to take care of them! I’m newly married and don’t have a job, I mostly just tend to our house and would love to have something to do during the day! I have a fenced in back yard and a spacious living room in my house, both great for plenty of play time and running around!
“We got the cutest video of Jasmine and our dog Lucy playing!! She really goes above and beyond with taking care of Lucy!! We will absolutely be using them again in the future 💛”


About: I grew up with cats, dogs, turtles, lizards… basically anything I could get away with bringing home. I have been a pet parent to my cats, Maybell for the last 10 years, and Gia for the last 6. They are precious girls that I love dearly, and I have extensive experience with varieties of dog breeds from working at a boarding and grooming facility! I work full time as a physical therapist during the week days and miss getting to have dogs around to love on! As an outdoors fanatic and someone who seeks movement throughout my days, being an add on walker/per sitter in my free time is a dream job of a way to get to be around the pets I love (but can’t currently have due to a skiddish older cat!) and my passion for taking care of others! I am comfortable with medication dispensing due to previously caring for highly medically complex family pets, as well as extensive time working at a boarding and grooming facility which taught me a myriad of tips for caring for easy and more finicky pets all alike!! I can provide and manage crate care, walking, running, and hiking experiences for your pet during a stay but also as happy to couch potato with your pup!
“She is a very caring and attentive girl when it comes to taking care of my pet. She took exceptional care of my dog despite his disability. She is a responsible and kind person.”


About: I’ve walked hundreds of miles with dogs of all sizes breeds and personalities so I’m comfortable handling everything from high energy pups to more relaxed companions. I have an English springer spaniel of my own, which means I’m very experienced with active dogs and understand how to channel their energy into structured yet enjoyable walks. I’m confident working with young dogs who are still learning leash skills and always patient and attentive to each pet’s unique needs whether that’s extra exercise consistency or a slower pace. Pet care fits perfectly into my weekly routine. I work full-time on night shift which means I’m available during the morning hours when pets need walks and attention. It’s an ideal schedule for getting dogs outside before the Alabama heat kicks in and I genuinely enjoy starting my day that way! Every pet is different so I focus on keeping things familiar and stress-free by following their normal routine as closely as possible. I pay attention to the little things like favorite toys, treats, walking habits, and comfort needs so they feel safe and cared for. I’m also comfortable with crate use if that’s part of their routine. I want your pet to feel most at home wherever I am with them,

About: I grew up having a cat as my family pet. I’ve also dog sat for work friends and I genuinely love it. I’m young so I have a lot of energy to play with your pet. I’m a licensed realtor in Alabama so I make my own schedule and can work from anywhere so I’m very adaptable. I can work Monday-Saturday after 10am. I live in a house with a large backyard so your pet has plenty of space to play. I also currently do not have a pet of my own so your pet will get my full attention which increases safety.
About: Hi there! I’m Charlie — the heart behind Delta Dog Co., here in Mobile, Alabama. Dogs have been one of my greatest passions for as long as I can remember, and caring for them isn’t just a job for me — it’s a calling. I’ve worked in both kennel and veterinary environments, gaining hands-on experience with dogs of all breeds, ages, and temperaments. Over the years, I’ve developed a deep understanding of canine behavior, training, and communication — especially with working, sporting, and gun dog breeds. I’m trained in canine CPR, experienced in medication administration, and comfortable handling everything from high-energy pups to senior dogs needing gentle care. Whether it’s playtime, structure, or comfort, I tailor each dog’s experience to their unique personality and needs. I currently operate Delta Dog Co. and work as a delivery driver on the side, so I have a flexible schedule built around pet care. I’m available for boarding, daycare, walks, drop-ins, and training throughout the week. Dogs in my care are never left unattended for more than 2-4 hours. Your dog will always have reliable, consistent care and a routine that keeps them happy, safe, and comfortable. Your dog’s safety and comfort are my top priorities. I provide a secure, clean, and relaxed home environment where every dog is treated like family. I have experience working in kennel and veterinary settings, so I know how to handle dogs of all temperaments and ensure their wellbeing at all times. Dogs in my care are always supervised during playtime and outdoor activities, and they’re never left unattended for long periods. I’m trained in canine CPR and skilled at reading body language, managing group dynamics, and preventing stress or conflict before it happens. Whether your dog is here for boarding, daycare, or training, they’ll enjoy a safe, structured, and loving environment that feels like a second home.

Pet parents share their Rover experiences - Mertz
It was the first time to leave my 2 Labradoodles at home because we were going away for a week to somewhere they could not go with us. My faith and trust in Kerrington to take good care of my babies made my trip enjoyable. I didn't have to worry about them. She's the best!

Jordan was an amazing cat sitter and first time experience using Rover! She even came over last minute and checked on one of our babies when we saw him messing with something he shouldn’t be on the cat cam. We have two special needs cats and three cats total and she did a great job spending time with each. Highly recommended.

We can't say enough about Priya. Her communication was great and she took such good care of our pups. I was a little worried because we were staying at a campground and they were in a strange place. She sent pictures to put my mind at ease and the pups loved her. We hope to use her again when we come back next year.

Devery was really great with my cats while I was on my trip! I'm beyond pleased and immensely grateful for her attention to detail and care of my animals. She checked in with me and provided really meaningful updates everyday. I would highly recommend her to anyone who needs their animals cared for!
