About: I’ve had a variety of animals growing up. There was never a time in my household where i did not have a pet. I am great with animals, they seem to love me as much as I do them! I attend Auburn university. I usually have 1-3 classes a day, but I am done by 12pm. I am available between 12-6! What better way to spend my free time! I have a strong love for animals. I am very passionate about them. If i were to watch your fur baby, I would play with them, make sure they eat well, take them out for fresh air! I even turn on cartoons that they can see the colors with!
“Mary Michelle was the absolute BEST! She sent multiple photo updates every day full of walks, snuggles, and playtime. I have a 5 month old puppy and was nervous about leaving her, but she was happy, calm, and brushed and clean when I picked her up!”

“A-M-A-Z-I-N-G!!! Andrea & family were incredible. First time leaving my fur baby with someone other than family. Certainly I was a bit nervous. I chose Andrea based on her reviews and genuine smile on the profile. She lived up to expectation and the reviews. Daily photo and updates were provided without request. She even bathe my boy, sent him home so fresh and so clean. I am certain I will be booking in the future, Thank you again for your warmth and care for Pooh! :-)”

“We left Katie for over two weeks with Jennifer and her sweet family. They were amazing and gave our very spoiled Doodle lots of love and attention. We feel very comfortable leaving our girl for such a long time with this wonderful family and would highly recommend.”

About: I have taken care of puppies, I have trained my own dog tricks and would love to be able to help with others dog owners if needed. I work 4 days a week, off on Fridays and come home for lunch for my dog. I walk my dog all the time. And love to going to the park. I live in an apartment, constantly taking my dog to the park all the time. My dog is allowed to be on the furniture as much as she wants and gets lots of treats.
About: What sets me apart is how intentional I am with each pet. I pay attention to their behavior, energy, and comfort level so they feel safe, not just watched. I’m patient with puppies and can help reinforce routines like potty training and basic commands. I’m also gentle and attentive with senior pets, making sure they’re comfortable and cared for at their pace. I’m reliable, detail-oriented, and I keep communication clear so you always know your pet is in good hands! Pet care fits well into my routine since I’m home part-time and have a flexible schedule. I’m able to plan my days so pets get consistent attention, whether that’s walks, playtime, or check-ins throughout the day. When I’m home, I’m present and attentive, and I make sure any time away is planned around the pet’s needs so their routine stays consistent. I prioritize making pets feel comfortable and cared for, not rushed. I have an open yard and leave near the marina. I’m happy to take them to the beach! They love to play in that area.
About: I have over 15 years of experience with all types of animals. I have a deep affection for animals and understand the importance of their well-being. Whether it’s a playful dog or a curious cat, I always take the time to understand their unique behaviors and needs. I am attentive and patient, ensuring they feel comfortable, loved, and secure. For pet owners, knowing that I can offer reliable care provides peace of mind—whether it’s a quick check-in, a thoughtful response to any concerns, or simply understanding how to make their pets feel at ease. My love for animals is grounded in the belief that pets deserve kindness, respect, and consistent care. I focus on building a trusting bond with each pet so they feel comfortable and safe in my presence. For pet owners, this trust is invaluable—it means you can leave home knowing that your furry friend is not just in good hands, but in the hands of someone who genuinely loves and cares for them as if they were my own. I will be taking this position fulltime ensuring exercise and playtime, feeding and medication routine, rest and comfort. Incorporating pet care into my daily and weekly routine ensures your pet receives consistent attention, love, and the appropriate level of care to keep them healthy, happy, and safe. Your pet’s well-being is always a priority, and my routine revolves around meeting their physical, emotional, and social needs. My home is pet-proofed to ensure there are no hazards, such as toxic plants, sharp objects, or unsafe areas that your pet could access. All windows and doors are securely closed or locked to prevent any escapes, and I always monitor pets closely when they’re outside to ensure they’re safely contained. Your pet will have a designated, cozy sleeping area that is safe and comfortable, whether it’s their bed, crate, or a spot they’re familiar with. I will ensure that this area is free from distractions and potential dangers, allowing them to rest peacefully and securely. I’ll keep your pet’s daily routine consistent, including feeding times, exercise, and rest. If they’re on medication or need specific care, I will ensure they receive the correct dosage at the right times. Sticking to their usual routine helps minimize stress and makes them feel more at home in my care.
“I was able to book with Casey last minute and she took great care of my Sweetie. When my cousin picked my dog up she said my dog was walking around like she was home and comfortable. I would definitely rebook and you should too.”

About: I’ve been around family dogs and cats my whole life, and caring for animals has always brought me joy. In my free time, I’ve fostered puppies and kittens from the local shelter, so I’m very comfortable with pets of all ages, personalities, and energy levels. When a pet is entrusted to me, I truly treat them as my own! I want them to feel comfortable and at home even while you’re away. I don’t have any pets of my own, so your pet will get my full attention and 1-on-1 care. I’m also big on communication — I know it could be a little nerve-racking to entrust a pet to a stranger, so I love to send occasional photo and video updates to keep you reassured and in the loop. As a non-student, I’m flexible with scheduling and happy to work with your pet’s usual routine. My goal is to make the experience stress-free for both you and your pet(s)! I work full-time with a one-hour midday break, so I’m able to care for pets in the mornings, during lunch, and in the evenings. I’m also available most weekends and holidays since I live locally and have a flexible schedule. I can care for pets in my home or yours—whatever makes them most comfortable! My home is pet-free and traffic-free, so they will get my full attention. I’m happy to crate dogs if needed or let them roam freely in a calm, safe space. If a pet would be happier at your home, I’m happy to visit for check-ins or overnights, following your pet’s usual routine and preferences. I want them to feel as comfortable as possible with a new person, so I can adapt to whatever would make them most comfortable and happy!
“All I can say is wow. Madison went above and beyond to make our baby Greyson comfortable, even given our sweet little boy a bath after playing in the mud with her sweet Shepherds. Was excited to see me when I picked him up, but he seemed that he was torn and wanted to stay with Madison as well. Definitely will rebook.”

About: If you’re in need of a pet-sitter while out of town or dog walker, I’d be happy to help. Im local to the PNW but recently moved to Auburn, Alabama. I am also an alum to Gonzaga University, Go Zags! I love dogs and cats thought rover would be a great platform to extend my services. I’ve grown up with dogs & cats my entire life, I have experience with animals of all ages, and work with poodles frequently. Please feel free to send me a message and I’d love to see I can help! :) I work hybrid remote, so am home 3 weeks out of the month, which allows for a flexible schedule that works great for housesitting or pet sitting. I love walking and have great access to parks near my unit. I am open to both house boarding as well as housesitting, I am happy to work with the dog and/or cats schedule depending on when they eat, and happy to make additional arrangements if needed.
“Second time bringing the dogs over and my experience with Awy and Stephanie definitely didn’t disappoint. She constantly send videos and pictures. What I love most is that she’s very special and caring with them. It’s like caring for them myself.”

About: I have been watching dogs for most of my life. i’ve watched many breeds for weeks at a time for friends and enjoyed every second. I grew up raising dachshunds as a young kid and i enjoy having a companion to care for and play with! I am stationed in Fort Benning, GA and i work Monday-Friday from 8AM-4PM. i am gone most of the day but i have a consistent work schedule. On occasion, i will travel out of town, but i will make sure my availability shows the days i am not at home. I have a fenced in back yard with plenty of space to run and play. There aren’t any dogs around me to pester or threaten any dog that’s near my house. i am able to crate anytime i need as well. i live in a very quiet neighborhood (on a dead end road) so i rarely see cars drive by. i walk and run on my road everyday by myself and am more than willing to walk dogs with me as well.
“Stacy was the best sitter I could’ve asked for! She is super responsible and experienced with dogs and cats and I felt very comfortable leaving my cat in her care. She communicated extremely well and sent updates and pictures every day! Would 100% recommend her to anyone :)”

“Amanda took great care of our 9 year old dog. I felt very confident leaving him in her care. She was flexible with our timeframes and communication was great. Definitely recommend Amanda for your pets care.”


“Shuga was very excited at the meet and greet. Glad we did that first to make us both more comfortable before the Vacay. Nancy's home is very pet friendly and u can tell she likes her guests. Good to see the pictures while I was gone. Shuga must have really enjoyed her pawsome new friends because she has rested a lot since she got home. I would recommend Nancy and I will use her again.”

Exceptional Care for Zuri & Toby! We cannot say enough wonderful things about Leif and Dani! They watched our two dogs, Zuri and Toby, and treated them as if they were their very own. From start to finish, it was clear that our dogs were the focus of their attention. They kept us updated with outstanding feedback, including photos and videos that were so incredibly good we are going to use them in a photo album! Knowing they were being walked, thoroughly entertained, and looked after in such an exemplary manner allowed us to completely relax. It truly felt like a vacation for us and a vacation for our dogs. We will be using Leif and Dani again for our next trip. If you want peace of mind and top-tier care for your pups, look no further!

Our dog Spirit loves to stay with Laura. She goes right into the house and right to the room that has all the toys and starts bringing them out one at a time to show them to us. Laura is wonderful with her administering medication‘s taking her on walks and entertaining her by playing. We sometimes think Spirit may like to be with Laura more than she likes to be at home. We would highly recommend her to care for your dog or cat.

Audrey was absolutely wonderful! She sent us updates and pictures every day, which gave us so much peace of mind while we were away. Our dog clearly had a great time, he played every day, seemed completely comfortable, and was happy and relaxed when we picked him up. In the past, he has sometimes seemed nervous or skittish after staying with other sitters, but that was not the case at all with Audrey. We could tell he felt safe, well cared for, and genuinely enjoyed his stay. We were extremely satisfied with the care she provided and would gladly recommend Audrey to anyone looking for a trustworthy and attentive dog sitter. We will definitely use her again!

Stacy was absolutely wonderful! She took such great care of our dog and kept us updated with lots of pictures, which gave us so much peace of mind while we were away. It was obvious that our dog was happy, comfortable, and receiving lots of love and attention. We couldn’t have asked for a better experience. Coming home to a happy, relaxed dog says everything about the care Stacy provided. We highly recommend her to anyone looking for a trustworthy, caring pet sitter, and we will definitely be asking her to watch our dog again!

Leaving Cooper for a full week over the Fourth of July was a big deal for me, but from the very beginning I knew he was in great hands. Kristen welcomed him into her home like he was part of the family and kept me updated every day with photos and messages, which gave me so much peace of mind. The best part was seeing how happy and relaxed Cooper was when I picked him up. It was obvious he had been well cared for, loved, and made to feel at home. I never had to worry while I was away, and that is priceless. I would absolutely trust her with Cooper again and highly recommend her to anyone looking for a caring, reliable pet sitter. Thank you for taking such wonderful care of him!

There are 243 sitters on Rover for Pet Boarding in Opelika. About 95% of Opelika sitters can respond to requests in under 60 minutes.

You can message your sitter at any time through the app and our support team is available 24/7 by email or chat if you have concerns.
The personalized, in-home nature of pet care through Rover can mean more individual attention for your pet.
The Rover Guarantee is Rover’s commitment to your peace of mind every time you book. It includes 24/7 customer support, sitter access to advice from qualified veterinary professionals for diagnostic issues, and a reimbursement program for eligible veterinary care in the rare event something goes wrong.
All bookings are backed by the Rover Guarantee , which provides up to $25,000 in eligible veterinary care reimbursement.
A Meet & Greet is a short introductory meeting between you, your pet, and a sitter. It can take place in person or virtually, although we recommend in-person so that your pet can get to know your sitter or the new environment. During the Meet & Greet, you will have a chance to walk through your pet's routine, medical needs, and unique quirks. Take the time to ask your sitter questions about their skills and expertise, and make sure the fit feels right for everyone. Most pet parents and sitters on Rover welcome Meet & Greets because the process can give confidence and peace of mind for service experiences, especially for longer stays or first-time bookings.
Every sitter on Rover is required to pass a background check before listing their services. This process confirms their identity and indicates they are not on the Department of Justice’s National Sex Offender Public Website or have any disqualifying offenses.
Beyond ID checks, you can review each sitter's star rating, read verified reviews from other pet parents, and see how many repeat clients they have. Every booking is backed by the Rover Guarantee, which includes up to $25,000 in eligible veterinary care. For more details, visit Rover's Trust & Safety page .
While each sitter sets their own vaccine requirements, staying up-to-date on your dog’s vaccines is the best way to be "boarding ready". Vaccinations help create a safe environment for all pets under a sitter’s care.
Many sitters in AL ask that dogs be up to date on core vaccines like the Canine Parvovirus, Canine Distemper, Canine Adenovirus, Bordetella, and Rabies. Cats may be required to have Feline Viral Rhinotracheitis and Rabies up to date.
By discussing your pet's health history early, you’re adding a layer of confidence for you and your sitter before the booking begins.
Emergency support is available by phone or email in English 24/7. When an incident occurs, we recommend that sitters contact our Trust & Safety team immediately so that they can connect your sitter with a board-certified veterinarian or offer other resources to help.
If a sitter needs to cancel at the last minute, Rover’s reservation protection means our team will work with you to find a suitable replacement as quickly as possible.
