Pet Sitting in Northport

About: I have experience caring for a variety of pets for a couple of years, and will make sure your pet stays comfortable in their own environment. I am someone who loves routines and I am very dependable. What sets me apart is my patience and my attention to detail. I will take time to get to know your pet, because they deserve to feel comfortable while their favorite person is away. I have a set schedule at my part-time job as a runner for a local firm, and college classes, but everything is the same week by week, so my schedule is very consistent. For this summer, I will be able to drop by anytime before 9 am and after 5 pm on Monday and Tuesday, or anytime before 9:00 am or after 11:30 pm Wednesday and Thursday! Friday-Sunday is completely free, and nights are always open unless I’m out of town! I will try my best to be there. I want your pet to feel as comfortable as possible! Any feeding schedule, walk routine, house rules, or fun personalities will be accommodated to my best effort. I know that pets can often get stressed when things change, and I will try my hardest to keep their usual habit and routine flowing smoothly. I’m happy to send updates of how much fun we’ll be having!

“Jennifer was absolutely awesome! She was so easy to communicate with, kept our cats happy and fed, brought a package in the house, and helped me figure out how to adjust the dates when I put the wrong ones in! As long as she's willing to help us, she will always be our choice! Thank you so so much Jennifer!”

About: I have had cats my entire life and currently have a dog and a cat. Experience caring for kitties with various medical needs, including eye drops, pills, wipes, diets and subcutaneous fluid administration. Experience volunteering in four different animal shelters with both dogs and cats, doing basic animal care as well as specializing in dog enrichment activities. I currently work full-time which is why my services are limited to dog walking and drop ins. I am able to drop in during my lunch break so long as your home is within Tuscaloosa or Northport and can make earlier morning and early to late evenings work. I am flexible on weekends. I will follow your instructions exactly and ask any necessary clarifying questions as soon as they come to me. I am happy to love on any pets who desire it but will always be conscious that I am a stranger to them. I'm very aware of animal body language signs and always try to respect pets the way I'd want mine to be treated.

About: With 13 years of dog care experience and 5 years on Rover, I know a thing or two about keeping dogs happy. Working remotely gives me the flexibility to be there for your fur baby all week long. If you've got specific questions or special requests, feel free to reach out. During the weekdays, I can offer plenty of attention, play sessions, and walks to keep your pet active and engaged. I love having dogs around to go on a walk during my breaks! I’ve built a strong reputation over the years for being reliable and responsible. You can count on me to create a safe environment and send a lot of photos and be fast at communicating if you want to check in.

About: I have owned pets my entire life and have had the privilege of walking beside them through their entire time on this earth. Throughout my years, I have raised several cats from birth to adulthood, puppy trained, and have learned how to give medication to assist in the aging process. I am on summer break from my doctoral program so I have a lot of flexibility. I will be teaching on class this summer but it is just 2hours a day. I am very detail oriented. So when I am in a clients home I often spend some time checking in on their fur children to make sure they are set on behavior/emotional needs as well as their basics. I want to make sure that they are not stressed, getting the proper attention and that I am being attentive to catch potential problems as early as possible. I make sure to leave the place in better shape than I found it. My own cat is spoiled with enrichment and love. I strive to make sure your pets see me as an auntie rather than a random soul who checks in.

“We appreciate Zaira! Took great care of pets who were calm and happy when we returned.”

About: I have experience caring for dogs and cats for friends, family, and neighbors. I am responsible, patient, and love spending time with animals. I make sure pets are fed, exercised, and feel safe and comfortable while their owners are away. I treat every pet like they are my own and always pay attention to their needs and routines.

“Madi did a great job”

“I’m so grateful for the care Kanese gave my dog while we were away for a week. She was reliable, communicative, and clearly cared about my pup’s well being. I loved getting photo updates and could tell my dog was happy, comfortable, and well taken care of. It gave me real peace of mind knowing she was in such good hands. Highly recommend!”

Keyanna D.

“She took amazing care of my dog Maverick during drop-in visits. Showed up right on time, sent photos and detailed updates every visit, and you could tell Maverick warmed up to her quickly. It’s such a relief knowing he’s in good hands while we’re away. Will definitely be booking again!”

About: I have taken care of pets for almost all my life as my family has had multiple pets. I am responsible and Red Cross certified in caretaking. I take two classes during the week but everything else is virtual. I have all the time in the world to give your pet and am also very proficient at training. I will follow all instructions given and am very responsible. I prefer to keep all living areas clean and will ensure the safety of all pets under my care.

About: I’m a long time animal lover. I have been a trusted pet sitter for years through friends and referrals, now I’d like to offer reliable, professional care to my neighbors and community. My schedule is extremely flexible. I can board, I can go to you as needed, I have the time to take your pet out often and make sure they get all the zoomies out before they return home. I provide a clean, safe, and calm environment where your dog can relax and feel at home. I’m attentive, reliable, and prioritize safety, structure, and clear communication at all times.

“Ella showed up when she was supposed to and followed directions perfectly. He will be booking her again to take care of my fur babies”

About: I have a dog at home, Grissom, who is 5 years old. I have had him and trained him from a puppy. I also have years of experience with larger dogs as well. I work Monday - Friday 7:15-4:15. I would be available early mornings before that or evenings nights after. During the weekends I have flexible availability. I’m a dog parent with years of loving experience. I am a teacher by day, with time in the afternoons and evenings to spend loving on my dog and others.

About: Hello it’s so nice to meet you and your fur babies! My name is Taylor and I moved to the Orlando area last year so I’m still learning my way around. I live with my husband and our two huskies, Sarge & Elsa- both rescues! I am 26 years old and this is currently my full-time job as I wait to get back into school to get my masters! I became a sitter on Rover back in our hometown in 2018. I have met so many dogs and cats and also their humans and it’s truly been so rewarding. I am a animal lover. I give my complete gratitude to my dog Kimba, who passed away in June 2020, for being the reason I am so passionate about dogs. Granted even when I was little I hung out with my neighbors golden retriever every single day after school for probably 3 years- I swore that dog was my best friend lol. Kimba and I had such a special bond and the love I had for her and she had for me really meant the world to me. It opened my eyes to how absolutely priceless and amazing it is to be loved by a dog. To me, they are part of the family. I can assure you that while your babies are my care, they will be treated as just that- a part of the family! I will love on them, care for them and make it my top priority to make them feel happy & relaxed while you’re away! I am currently booking for: 1) WALKS 2) DROP-INS 3) HOUSE SITTING Walks & drop-ins work best for me right now. We just rescued Elsa, a 3 year old husky, and we are dealing with some separation anxiety and house training issues and so we are patiently and efficiently handling those which means I can’t be away from the house ALL day. For drop-ins & walks I will come by your house however many times a day you need me to- 30-60 minutes at a time and feed them, play with them, walk them, whatever you’d need me to do! I will do this up to 3x a day. ** Due to gas prices being higher, if your location is 20 or minutes away, I will only do 60 minute walks/drop-ins. This makes the travel and time more manageable. (Traffic jams/accidents/rush hour are not factors in this. I understand those things can not be predicted). This is based solely on GPS and what the drive time is in general. I am sorry if this is an inconvenience for anybody, but with so many clients booking, the travel adds up time and money for gas on my end! As for HOUSE SITTING- I have two versions: 1) Lengthy visits throughout the day that require me to be there for several hours at a time OR more than 4 hours of drop-ins/walks. I do not stay the night, but spend a lot of time during the day starting at whatever time in the morning you’d need me to be there by! This option works out great for me since as stated above, I have a dog that requires special training and being gone all night can sometimes be tricky depending on what my husbands work schedule looks like for that scheduled time! & 2) house sitting but I stay the night. This means I will check-in and walk your dog periodically throughout the day & stay in your home at night with your pets! However, I do want to also mention here, I will have to spend some time away during the day to take care of my own dogs, but can be back and forth for several hours at each place- yours & mine! We can work out the best times and a schedule for me to leave to work around your dogs normal routine, no problem at all! REPEAT CLIENTS OR CLIENTS THAT HAVE USED ME IN THE PAST- read through some of the above information as some things have changed (like time I can spend in your home with house sitting!) if you’ve used me in the past, reach out to me before booking- and I will adjust and work with you- BECAUSE IN THE END IT IS BECAUSE OF YOU THAT MY ROVER BUSINESS HAS SEEN GROWTH AND SUCCESS! and I am so grateful! I am always looking for long-term clients! It helps both parties - you & me, by having a schedule and knowing what days you’ll need care whether that be daily because you work long hours and need someone to let your puppy out during the day or for someone who travels a lot for work or play and knowing you have someone reliable to always contact to watch your fur baby! If you chooose to be a long-term client, I do recommend trying to book me out 4-3 weeks out from when you’ll need me, so I can be sure to be available for you! I try to give my repeat clients and long-term clients, first come first serve! PUPPY RATES: I charge a puppy rate for any dog under the age of 1 year - that’s how Rover distinguishes a puppy. I charge a higher rate for pups considering they are usually much more work! HOWEVER, exceptions can be made. Talk with me and we will see. Some pups at 6 months old are already so well trained and house broken, while others may still be figuring it out- each dog is different so I will definitely work with you on this! Rover is currently my only job, so that means I have ALL the time in the world to love on and spoil your pups :) I take care of pets by doing exactly what the owners need from me. From daily walks, to sticking to a routine, keeping an eye on them while they are playing. I’m very attentive.
