“Our experience with Kayla was wonderful. Teddy was well loved and cared for. He was happy and playful. Kayla sent updates and photos daily. I would highly recommend her services and looking forward to booking with her again in the future.”

“We had a friend cancel on us the very last minute before a week trip to Michigan. Andrea not only took Mikey for the week. We got pictures and updates every day. This is the second time we have used her. I would never trust another person with my dog. Excellent care.”

About: I have always loved animals. I started walking my neighbors dog when I was 15. I have dog sat for many ranging from family, friends, neighbors, and mutuals. I am a recent Auburn grad and do not currently have a full time job. Not many jobs offer me a flexible schedule like this does and I am trying to save money and keep my self busy post-grad. I am always available unless otherwise noted on my calendar. I do not have a dog in Auburn, only when I travel to Foley to stay with family is there a dog in the house. I will abide by the owners preferences but I don’t promise I won’t fall in love with your dog. I love all shapes and sizes of dogs and will take care of them as they are my own. I will give your dog as much attention as he or she wants.
“Our Winston was so excited when we pulled into the driveway for his most recent 'vacation'. Thank you Jennifer and family for taking such good care of our boy and treating him like family.”


About: I have grown up with dogs my entire life as well as dog and cat sitting since I was 16 years old. I have helped potty train dogs as well as bird dog training. I own my own company and create my own hours so pet sitting fits perfectly with my schedule. I am able to sit whenever I want to and keep up with my own work. I live in an apartment where we have balconies that have locks and railings to keep animals safe as well as a fenced in dog park for any playtime activities. We also have a safe complex where we can do long walks. For safety purposes cats are not allowed on the balcony while with me. We also have doors with special codes so animals can not escape and doors at either of the hall where pets can not make it down the stairs on their own.
“Lexie was so sweet and accommodating! This was our first time using Rover and she was so informative and responsive. Our dog Achilles absolutely loved it over there, and her dogs played so well with him! We will be using Lexie for all future bookings. 😊”

“We will definitely use Brandi again! My dog stayed with her for 4 days and had many adventures and lots of play time with her dogs! Brandi made sure to keep us updated about anything important and shared many pictures with us. Our dog was even given a bath before we picked her up! We’re happy to have found a reliable pet sitter! Highly recommend!”

“Nikki was great! We were in a pinch and needed a dog sitter last minute, and she truly saved us. She responded quickly, was flexible, and made the whole process stress free. Our pups was well cared for, happy, and when we returned. We’re so grateful for her help and will absolutely use her again!”

“This was my first Rover experience and how amazing it was! Selau was able to help me board my 8 week old kitten last minute. She was great with communicating to book and along the way. I loved getting updates and pictures of my little girl too! It’s great to have someone who is kind and caring for our fur babies to help when we may have to step away! 10/10 and will certainly be back when I might need the help again! Best experience for me and my little kitten!🩷🫶🏻”

About: As a vet student, I am very knowledgeable about animal health and behavior. I will treat your pet as one of my own while you’re away! I am currently on summer break so I’m home 90% of the time. I will make sure your dog is walked at least 3x a day and receives treats! I have a friendly 3 year old cat who loves making new friends. I have a patio where your baby can get sunlight and I can also send you pictures upon your request.
“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 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 am so happy I found Carly. I was going out of town for a 3 day getaway and my dog sitter cancelled the week of. Carly was thankfully able to take my fur baby and give her 1 on 1 attention! She eased my anxiety with daily updates and made sure my princess returned to me tangle free! We will definitely use Carly in the future.”

“Alexis was perfect for our last minute needs. She was very flexible and gave serious love and attention to our little poodle. She communicated very well and I highly recommend her for your next boarding needs.”
“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.”

“Kristina took excellent care of Skyy along with beautiful pictures sent daily of my fur baby which was a total plus! I will definitely be calling her again for pup care, thank you Kristina 🐶!”

“Kara took such great care of our dogs! She took us very last minute and was very accommodating! She offered pick up and drop off as well as grooming and bathing for both which I am extremely grateful for! The doggies came back happy, smelling good, looking fresh and well cared for! Definitely recommend and will be booking again!”

Opelika pet parents share their Rover experiences
Spirit had a wonderful time staying with Laura. It almost hurt our feelings when we left her there how excited that she was to be there and how uninterested she was in the fact that we were leaving. That makes us feel like Laura treats her like she is at home. We highly recommend her to keep your babies.
