“Laura was so great! She came over beforehand to meet my pup and make sure I was super comfortable. She left a detailed comment and great pics! Laura was also very good at communicating.”


“Ryan was amazing! He bonded really well with our cat. He is great at communicating with me and made me feel reassured while we were away from our cat. I would highly recommend him!”


About: I have been around dogs my entire life, and got my first very own dog 15 years ago, an English bulldog named Zoey. We lost her to cancer last year, and now have our amazing boxer Abby, who just turned one year old! I have cared for friends’ dogs multiple times throughout the years, and have experience caring for dogs of various ages. We have had dogs stay for just one or two nights, up to 1-2 weeks at a time, so we are flexible in meeting your needs! I also have experience with giving medications as needed! After offering sitting via Facebook and word of mouth, I figured why not make it Rover official 🐶 As a stay at home mom to two little boys, ages 7 and 5 my schedule is very flexible! My husband Sy works in the oil field in Oklahoma and is home every two weeks. I am home most hours of the day, with the exception of day-to-day errands such as going to this grocery store, or kid drop off and pick ups for various appointments! I also substitute teach at my boys elementary school during the weeks when my husband is home from his work rotations! So basically, if I’m subbing he is home! I am available for boarding 7 days a week. We also feel that is it important to share that our youngest son, Max is non-verbal autistic. Max is the sweetest, quietest little boy who does extremely well with dogs who come into our home. And in all honesty, he is so indifferent and could care less lol 💕 he loves our Abby and just walks around dogs who have stayed with us. If you have any questions or concerns regarding this, we are happy to answer 😊 We have a very large backyard that we are in the process of getting fenced in on August 1st! Until that time all friends are walked safely via leash in the backyard for potty breaks! Our dog Abby is very social and loves playing with other dogs! We strive to emulate as much of a “home away from home experience”, as possible and we will do our best to keep your dog on the same schedule they are accustomed to at home! Your dog will be snuggled and loved as if they were a member of our own family! I have a spare crate if your dog is crate trained, as well as a cozy room with extra dog beds if they do best tucked in to a quiet space when we are out of the home. Your dog is welcome to hang out on the couch or on a bed! We are here for all the snuggles! If you prefer them to sleep in a crate, that’s what we will do! I so look forward to snuggling your fur baby and giving them a “home away from home” experience.

About: After begging for a dog for 10 years, I finally got my first pet, Sadie, right before my 11th birthday. In those 10 years before her, my neighbors, family, and friends have used me to take care of their dogs, whether that be daily check ins, walks, feeding, or just spending time with their pups. I have also volunteered at the Humane Society near my house and have taken those dogs on walks and to get Pup cups when I can. I absolutely love dogs, and since my childhood dog isn’t with me at college, I love getting to see and take care of other pets! I am currently a full-time student with a part-time job, so my availability depends on my class and work schedule. I can take care of your pups during any study breaks or hours not filled with classes and working. For a more detailed availability, just reach out to me! I would love to make my schedule work with yours :) I have a fenced in yard and share a home with two roommates who adore dogs just as much as I do. There are no other pets in the house, just a few pet stuffed animals ;) I always want the dogs I take care of to feel comfortable and loved, so I make sure to “listen” to them as much as I can, especially when occupying their space. Having a dog back home, I understand how important it is for pups to get outside for exercise and the bathroom, so I will always make sure they have plenty of time to relieve themselves and get some vitamin D.

About: With years of experience caring for dogs of all breeds, ages, and personalities, I offer loving, reliable pet care in a warm, home-based environment. I work from home full-time, which means your pup will never be left alone and will get plenty of attention, potty breaks, and playtime throughout the day. I also have a friendly and gentle three-year-old Golden Retriever who loves the company of other dogs and gets along with everyone. Whether your dog needs extra snuggles, playtime, or just a calm place to relax, I treat every pup like family and provide personalized care you can feel confident in—along with clear communication and updates for your peace of mind. Pet care fits seamlessly into my daily routine. Since I work from home, I’m able to provide constant attention, regular potty breaks, and playtime throughout the day. Walks and downtime are already part of my schedule with my own dog, so caring for others comes naturally. It’s a part of my day I genuinely enjoy and look forward to. At my home, I follow each pet’s routine to keep them comfortable—regular potty breaks, meals, playtime, and lots of attention. I have a fenced-in backyard where dogs can safely run and play. Since I work from home, they’re never alone and get plenty of love throughout the day.

About: I have been caring for animals since I was a young child. I did however have my own non profit dog and cat rescue in ATL for 15 years and continued my work in California. I am well versed in giving medication including shots. I have continued fostering since I moved to Auburn, but currently have a kitty from a local shelter and now, my own dog. I have also successfully trained puppies and dogs in potty training and obedience training throughout the years. I am retired so I have plenty of time to dote on your pets. I am mature, quiet, and responsible. I would love to take care of your cats or dogs in your own home, or even here! I currently am offering in home pet sitting for cats and dog friendly dogs. I am quiet, mature, and respectful of your privacy and property.

“Allison is by far the best sitter I’ve had for my sweet pup, Uno! She took Uno to the park every day, on long walks, spent a lot of play time with him, and sent me so more adorable photos and videos. I truly felt so comfortable leaving my pup with her knowing that she was taking care of him like he was her own. Uno had so much fun with her dog, Charlie, and was so tired after each of their adventures! I will definitely be booking with Allison in the future!”


“Not only has Regan taken excellent care of our dogs during multiple visits (drop-in, as well as house sitting), but when one of our dogs became ill through no fault of his own, he stayed with her past his designated departure time until someone could come pick her up and take her to the emergency vet. I can not recommend him highly enough.”


About: I’ve had dogs since I was 8 years old and have assisted in taking care of them since I was about 10! I grew up with 2 small dogs and now have a bigger dog as well. I volunteered at a cat shelter from ages 12-19 and have invaluable experience with cats of all ages and temperaments, including aggressive and sometimes feral cats. I briefly shadowed at a vet clinic where I worked alongside the vet and techs, learning how to administer medication and humanely handle nervous pups and kitties. I’m currently working a part time job so I can easily make time for your pets whenever needed! I’ll be available day and night, just message me about specific times. I’ve dealt with many pets of many different temperaments over the years, and am comfortable with adjusting to your pets needs; whether that’s some extra love during thunderstorms or assistance for older pets during meal time. I’m able to crate your pups when needed and am happy to administer medication when necessary.

About: Our entire family loves to care for animals! I personally have been a responsible pet sitter for over 25 years. While we currently are a pet free home, we have been thankful to have owned and cared for a black lab, yorkie poo (lived until 15), two German Shepards (currently guard dogs in Haiti), rabbits and many goats. While your pet is with me you will receive multiple updates and feel secure in the fact that they are being loved and taken care of just as you would! I would love the privilege to care for your beloved dog while you are away! I am a stay at home homeschool mom and have the ability to care for your animal all day. It is so fun to incorporate dog walks and playtime with your animals in my daily schedule. I can easily crate your fur baby, or they can sleep in a comfy dog bed. We have a large yard, with a small portion fenced. Since we are a homeschool family, we spend a lot of time out doors and I love to take dogs for walks and let them join us outside if that is what your fur baby enjoys. If you need help with drop in services at your own home, I can arrange those services to meet your dogs needs.

About: I have worked with animals as a kennel technician for 3 years. All knowing of many dog behaviors outside and in play yards. Knowledge of if a pet needs to be seen by a doctor or if it is not feeling well. Yes I do go to school but I also have a pet of my own who I care for. While at home my dog is out playing and having fun with me. When I am in class he is in his crate for an hour until I get out of class. I live in a pet friendly apartment with lots of room to go on runs or walks. My apartment has a dog park that my dog goes to everyday unless weather permits. My dog is friendly and gets along with other dogs very well.

About: Hey! Growing up, I always ADORED animals. I spent over 200 hours volunteering at my local humane society during my middle school days! After that, I worked just over a year at a Doggy Day Care/ Pet Boarding facility near my home town on Oahu, HI! Since moving here, I started working at CARE Humane Society as an Animal Caretaker, Adoption Counselor, and Animal Technician! So, if you are looking for someone who knows how to properly care for and LOVE your pets as much as you do, you've found your girl!! I also have 2 dogs of my own, both very friendly and playful. They love other animals, so depending on your comfortably and dog's socialization level, they’ll have a blast playing in my yard! I work full time at CARE Humane Society, and my schedule changes every week so it is a bit crazy! I would love to communicate more about my schedule to work something out! I am great at adjusting to each individual dog. I will figure out what it is they need and enjoy and give it to them! I do have two of my own dogs and will of course love each dog I watch like my own. They’ll also have a blast hanging out and playing with my fur babies if they want to!

About: I’ve cared for my two family dogs, Adonis & Asha, since I was 13, gaining hands-on experience with daily routines like feeding, walking, bathing, and providing lots of love and attention. While I haven’t done professional pet sitting yet, I understand how important it is to treat pets like family. I’m reliable, caring, and committed to making sure your pet feels safe and happy while you’re away. I’m currently working part-time, while getting my Master’s at Auburn online! So I’m free pretty much all day long to care for and love on your pups while you’re away! When caring for pets in a client’s home, I do my best to follow the pet’s normal routine so they feel safe and comfortable. I make sure they’re fed on time, get plenty of playtime or walks, and have a clean space. I also pay close attention to any special instructions—whether it’s medications, quirks, or favorite toys. I treat every pet like they’re my own, with patience, care, and love.

About: I’ve had both dogs and cats as far back as I can remember. I truly believe pets are part of the family. I would love to meet you and your fur babies! I work 8-5 Monday-Friday, but I pet sit in the mornings/evenings. My weekends are usually free for whatever schedule your fur baby is accustomed to. When visiting your pets, I like to keep the routine as close as I can to what you do for them. I believe the more details the better to make sure they are comfortable and content.

About: I have taken care of dogs since for around 5 years. I started before I could drive and I would walk over to my neighbors house and feed/ play with their dogs while they were out of town. I have still continued to dog sit every once in a while when I am needed. I am a college student at Auburn University. I am also from Opelika so everyone that I have been dog sitting for in high school, I am still able to help out today. My schedule for next semester is very open and not too busy. I am also available over summer as well. I do have a goldendoodle at my parents house. She is 5 years old and loves playing with other dogs. I also have a car so I will be able to come to my clients house to take care their furry friends for as long as I am needed. Currently I live in a townhouse and would love to take care of your pets here!
