About: College student and Humane Care volunteer with hands on experience feeding, walking, and comforting animals while providing safe, patient, loving care every single day consistently! I am a student at Auburn University, but I will be home for the summer. I will be available on the weekends and my schedule is open after 3pm. My schedule is flexible!! I keep pets safe by giving attentive care, spending quality time, following routines, providing companionship, and taking them on regular walks to keep them happy.
“We are very thankful to Michael for taking care of our not 1, not 2, but 5 pups!!! 3 of the 5 are complete wildlings but he patiently handled them with grace. He is very easy to work with in scheduling. Michael even showed up for a meet & greet and spent quite a while learning the most he could about our babies so he would be prepared to take care of them when needed. We look forward to building the relationship & being able to count on him to help us when we have plans that cause us to be away from them. Thank you Michael!!!”

About: I’m a pet lover (and pet owner—one dog and 15 chickens) who currently works remotely from home in Oakleigh, which gives me a lot of flexibility during the day for walks and check-ins around the neighborhood. I’ve fostered previously, am a previous Rover walker, and currently own a cattle dog mix, Ernie, who has very high exercise and stimulation requirements. When I’m not traveling for work myself (approximately 1-2 weeks per month) I work remotely from home and so have a lot of flexibility for walks and drop-ins during the day. I currently offer dog-walking (and running) and drop-in visits in the Oakleigh area. I can meet the needs of high-energy dogs like mine, who need long walks or runs or time at the park, or slow walkers (small dogs, older dogs) who just want a little time to smell the roses.
“Thank you so much for taking great care of my guys! It usually takes Max some time to warm up to men, he seemed to connect with Dalton almost instantly. Thank you again for taking care of them last minute while I was away at drill.”

“Ann was very easy to work with and I found it very easy to trust her with my animals. She took great care of them. She was communicative and punctual and sent me pics show my boys having a good time. Would definitely recommend.”

“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.”

“100% satisfied with Lasaundra!!! Great communications before and during her drop-in visits for my 2 furbabies. It's so comforting to know that my babies were well taken care of while I was out of town. Highly recommend!!!”

About: I have had pets - dogs and cats my entire life. I work from home, I have plenty of time to take care of your pets too. I work from home, I have plenty of time during the day to take care of your pets at your house or mine. I have two beagles - you've probably seen me around midtown walking the dogs or just walking by myself. I have a locked fenced in yard, a big deck and two friendly beagles to keep the neighborhood company. I am home all day, another dog or two isn't a problem.
“Thank you for taking care of Penny during our time away! We appreciate you and all the pics you included in her report card! Although we missed her, it was wonderful knowing she was in good hands. And thanks for bringing in the package for safekeeping while we were away.”

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 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.
“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.”

About: Hi there! I’m Charlie — the heart behind Cedar Creek Canine 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 work as a delivery driver and have a flexible schedule built around pet care. I’m available for boarding, walks, drop-ins, and training throughout the week, with weekends and evenings open for extended stays or sessions. 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.
“Aleigha was incredible!!! Super nice and friendly and was so patient with my fur babies! One of my dogs is super timid and scared and sometimes doesn’t eat when I’m not around. Aleigha was wonderful enough to try hand feeding to get him to eat and it worked! If you’re looking for a pet sitter she’s the one you want!!”

“Katherine is absolutely amazing!! She has been coming over multiple times to help take care of our dog Nina and making sure she is well taken care of while we are out of town!! So great, thanks!”
About: I have had pets my whole entire life. I dog sit for all my neighbors and I have trained all my dogs myself. Dogs are my favorite mostly. My mornings can be spent walking any dog for any distance or late evenings. I can dog sit any day. I do work evenings but I will put your pets needs first. I have most experience in house sitting and dog walking. I prefer to not board at my own house but I am open to house sitting. Dog walks I prefer in the morning.
Oakdale pet parents share their Rover experiences
My cat got along with Michael very well. He did a phenomenal job of caring for my pet, engaging with him, and cleaning up after him. He was especially good about providing daily updates and videos. He's an excellent sitter with a warm personality and I'd recommend him 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.
