“Ryan is wonderful and patient with my young and energetic dog Finn! Finn gets so excited when Ryan arrives for their early evening 30 minute walk adventure. Ryan is very dependable and communicates, if needed, in a timely manner. After 3 weeks of walks, I fully trust Ryan with my dog. Finn comes home very happy with his walk!”


“Linda was so great and easy to work with! You can tell she really loves animals immediately upon meeting her! She is very sweet and my animals liked her immediately, too (obviously a huge plus!!)! I will definitely be using her again to take care of my fur babies!”


About: I am a hard working individual and a lover of all animals! I moved back to the area after graduating law school and currently work as court staff. I’ve been around pretty much every kind of animal my entire life. While I don’t consider this “professional” experience, I do consider it lived experience. I’ve had multiple dogs personally, and I’ve taken care of animals on my grandparents and parent’s farm for many years. I’ve looked after anything from goats, chickens, and ducks, to cat and dogs. The 7 years I listed as experience is more specifically the times where I’ve looked after different animals for friends and family. While I'm taking care of your pets they will be getting all the love and attention they need. I’m willing to walk with your dog and play with them as much as they can handle it. I hope to be working with you and your animals soon! I work full time during the week but I’ll be available before 8 a.m. and after 5 p.m. Monday through Friday to walk and feed your animals. Saturday and Sunday I am completely available. I try to provide a loving and safe environment for all animals to feel comfortable and looked after. Whether that’s waiting for them to approach me for pets or giving them the space they need to warm up to me!

About: Let me love on your fur babies while you’re at work or running errands. Leave toys so we can play and a leash for walks! I’m retired from the military and looking to fill my time. Taking care of pets would be an added bonus to my day and fulfill some fur baby time. I was also a vet tech for 10 years in the military. Please make sure there are toys and leashes so we can play or go to the dog park. Walks are a great way to potty and let me get my steps in lol

“I would highly recommend Regan. We moved to the area and didn't know anyone who could help with Bodie. Back home we were so used to having family and friends help us out. Regan was very reliable, patient, and kind. Bodie takes awhile to warm up to strangers and Regan was great with him. Thank you Regan!”


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: I grew up with dogs and cats, and I've fostered and volunteered with animal shelters. I have experience with a broad range of dog breeds and every life stage from puppyhood to senior adulthood. I also have experience working with animals with various medical conditions. I work remotely and have a flexible schedule, so I can spent quality time with your pets and make sure they get the best possible care. I want to make sure your pet is always safe and comfortable! I'll take the time to learn about your pet's needs, routines, and personality.

About: I love dogs! I have had a dog my entire life (two black labs, one golden lab) but have moved away from home back in Boston, MA for graduate school at Auburn. I love hanging around dogs so this service is honestly more of a treat for me than the dogs who might need someone. During undergrad I dog sat for multiple dogs through friend and family connections. I am much more flexible than the average full-time worker nowadays. I am working in Auburn's athletic department while taking classes and love to study and relax next to my dogs, but I'd love to do the same with yours. As a graduate student, I have a flexible schedule that allows me to plan my coursework and athletic department responsibilities around pet care. I typically have blocks of time during the day and evening that I can dedicate to walking, feeding, and spending quality time with pets. I’m dependable, communicative, and can adjust my availability based on each pet’s specific needs. I am keen on following any instructions given. I am more than happy to help your pets exercise and get outside. I make sure pets get plenty of attention, playtime, and potty breaks. In a client’s home, I treat the space with respect and keep everything tidy. Communication is key, so I also can send updates and photos so pet parents feel confident and connected while they're away.

About: I’ve grown up with pets and have had quite a few of my own over the last few years. I have my own dog (Kaizen- Great Dane) and one cat (Kit) so I’m comfortable with cats and dogs and being around them. Honestly, we’re in a place where we don’t want more of our own, but my son and I can’t help but want all the kisses and cuddles from other cats or dogs that we come across! I’m a SAHM so my schedule is pretty open to love on your pets! My son starts school soon so I’ll have more free time and I can’t think of anything better than this! I’m more available on the weekends, but I can make just about anything work! I won’t accept requests from anyone who doesn’t have pictures or information on their profile, or from anyone who asks me to communicate outside of Rover. PLEASE give me more than 24 hours notice. With all the scamming going on, I’m afraid I won’t respond to one visit requests with less than 24 hours notice. We have a big fenced in backyard and lots of room inside for your furbaby to feel at home, and a sweet and friendly dog and cat to keep him/her company!

“Anthony went above and beyond!! My dog is not fond of other dogs and some men so he can be a handful but Anthony handled him so well. Took Kane out on his walks for longer and farther than expected and was very attentive to his needs. Would recommend to anyone”


About: Was a human nurse, now I'm a full time student. I have raised two children and I own dog and two cats, caring is in my nature. I am a furgrandma to two beautiful amazing dogs. I work M-F at an office job with flexibility. This allows me lots of freedom, my kids are 19, and 21 so no restrictions at home. I do work M-F, 8-5pm. I can leave work if need be to check on your pet more often then just the walk, and of course if I'm staying the night; I’ll be right over after work. I will follow your instructions to the T, as long as it's safe for the animal and me! I want your furbaby to feel as comfortable as possible.

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 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!
