“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.”

“This is my second time booking with Michael. He honestly is the best/most awesome sitter ever. He always takes the upmost care of my boys. And hangs out with them longer/loves on them. He made sure to alert me to my middle baby hiding in the cabinet some so I could take him to the vet and make sure everything was okay. I can't say enough positive honestly!”

“This is the second time Ann has checked in on Sweets, and she continues to be dependable and communicative! Will definitely book with her in the future!”

“Jasmine went above and beyond taking care of Lucy!! She played with her, walked her, and taught new tricks!! She sent us videos and pictures which made us feel at ease seeing them have a good time together!!! Jasmine was absolutely incredible!!”

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’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,
“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.”

“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.”


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: •dog sat for a neighbor every summer growing up for years. (2018-2021) •dog sat and house sat for a family friend for a month. (2026) •owned 2 cats and 1 dog my whole childhood and cared for them I'm currently a student in college, so I'm available all summer and then part time during the school year. During the school year, my classes are pretty spaced out, so I could easily do dog walking in between classes. In my client's home, I will take care of their pet/home according to the instructions the owner leaves! If they have a backyard with a fence, I would watch their dog attentively. And if I were walking a dog, I would try to avoid getting near potential hazards.
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.

About: I have had pets in and out of my life throughout my entire childhood. I have dealt with puppies, kittens, fish, and hamsters. Caring for animals comes naturally to me and I want to share the love! I currently work a pretty fast-paced, full-time job, but I do get bored fast. Why not spend my off days caring for some fur babies? I keep my cats on fairly strict schedule with eating, and I try and play with them a few minutes out of every day. Whatever my client prefers, I will accommodate accordingly. Every pet is different and unique and should be treated as such!
About: My mother is a veterinarian and I worked at her clinic for 6 summers. I know how to work with many different breeds and ages of dogs. I’m currently babysitting during the week but my schedule is very flexible. I am available for boarding or pet care Monday through Sunday at all times! I have a fenced in yard with two other small dogs. If your dog does not like other dogs they are crate trained and we also have available crates at my house.
“This was my first experience using rover. I was worried as I was out of the country for a week. However, Maegan exceeded my expectations. She was great with communication and updates. I knew my cat was in good hands and I didn’t have to worry. I will definitely be using her in the future. Thanks again!”


About: I have taken care of dogs since I was 10. I love to go on long walks with my dog and pet sit for family. My husband works as doctor and I am a stay at home wife, so I am very flexible. I do not have any pets so I am able to be anywhere when needed. I am very respectful of people's homes and their spaces. I follow directions if provided and make sure to communicate with the owner often. I provide lots of attention, play time, and cuddles.

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.
About: I had a Cocker-Spaniel for 12 years with my wife and just recently got my first puppy last year. Now I am addicted, we have since adopted one and fostered many. My sister is a drug rep for veterinary clinics and I do computer work for a few of them. I have lots of contacts in the field if ever there was an emergency. I work from home most of the time, and usually here all day and night, other than for store runs, or occasional working in office. I have an unfenced yard but live in a great area for walking dogs on leash, there is a park across the street we can run in and play fetch. I have 2 dogs, Charley and Winnie, Charley is a big puppy that loves all other dogs, he is 75 pounds of play, Winnie is more of the mother dog but only weighs 17 pounds, she puts Charley in his place though. They are up to dates on shots and preventative medicines and both are fixed.

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.

Brenda is my go-to pet sitter and I trust her completely. She has such a kind heart and is incredibly considerate. She’s wonderful with my pet and always makes sure everything is taken care of. Knowing my cat is with Brenda gives me total peace of mind, and I would absolutely recommend her to anyone.

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!
