About: I’ve had 2 dogs my entire life (Jack Russell and Toy Poodle) and many of my family members have animals of all sizes! I’d love to spend time with your furry friend when you need it!! I have open availability so whenever you need me! I also have 2 small dogs if you’d like your pup to have some friends to hang out with! I take great care in making sure your pet is safe and happy. Lists of things they like/dislike are helpful (for example my cat gets upset when he is held, but likes belly scratches)
About: I’ve raised and been around dogs my entire life. I can train minor skills to puppies along with potty training. I also have experience administering medicine to even the most stubborn of dogs. I fully aim to make sure your babies are left healthy, fed and enriched. I’m fully available day or night. I’m also willing to spend extra time for slower dogs or for dogs who have more energy than most. I’ll wrestle em. I love dogs more than people most of the time. I understand that no two dogs are the same and they all come with different sets of needs. I personally have an ACD and Newfoundland, I can handle just about anything. I love the giant teddy bears and tiny terrors all the same! I’m willing to play, cuddle, and just love your babies like they’re my own dogs.
About: I have many pets at home (10 to be exact) and they are the best part of each day. I would love to get to know yours as well! I just took a break from college, so I have a lot of free time. I am still available on weekends but not full time because of work. Weekdays are totally free! My main goal is to make your pets feel safe and comfortable with me. I will do what’s needed to make them feel as though they can trust me.
“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!!!”

“Justin and Jasmine are the absolute best!! They took such great care of our dog!! They are always so relatable!! They even left us the cutest ornament of our dog!! We love them so much!!”

“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.”


About: I have 15 years of experience caring for dogs and truly enjoy spending time with animals of all kinds. I am reliable, patient, and attentive to each pet’s individual needs and personality. Friends, family, and neighbors have trusted me to walk, feed, bathe, and care for their dogs while they were away. I always make sure pets feel safe, comfortable, loved, and well cared for at all times. I am available weekdays after 2:40 PM and have flexible availability on weekends. I make it a priority to give pets the time, attention, exercise, and care they need while their owners are away. Please note that I am currently unavailable on holidays. I always prioritize the safety, comfort, and well-being of every pet in my care. I create a calm, clean, and loving environment where pets can feel secure and relaxed. I carefully follow each owner’s instructions regarding feeding schedules, routines, medications, walks, and playtime to ensure pets remain comfortable and cared for. I treat every pet with patience, kindness, and the same level of attention I would give my own animals.
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.
“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’ve taken care of dogs of all kinds my whole life. Family, friends, and clients have trusted me with their fur babies. You should too!!! I’m home for the summer may 7th - July 2nd and I can take care of your sweet animals at any time during the week including weekends! I have 3 other dogs who are very friendly, my neighborhood is not dangerous at all and I have a fenced in back yard! I also would have family to help!
About: Hi there! I’m Charlie — the heart behind Delta Dog Co., 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 operate Delta Dog Co. and work as a delivery driver on the side, so I have a flexible schedule built around pet care. I’m available for boarding, daycare, walks, drop-ins, and training throughout the week. 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.
About: I'm here to lend a helping hand in caring for your furbabies. Mine are my world! I don't know that I've ever been without pets. I'm that person that stops traffic to help a turtle cross the road. I've saved many strays. We've fostered multiple sets of pups from the local shelters & I have experience with bottle feed babies, both pups & kittens. I have & have had many pets throughout my life & that's where my experience comes from. Dogs of all sizes, young & old. I can give medications if needed. I would love to help you out when you need someone to step in & care for them for a bit. I will treat them as I would my own. I work a full time job M - F, 8:00 - 4:00, but my job is Hybrid, so I work from home 3 days a week. So aside from meetings, I can fit in drop-in visits most anytime. I can also, stop by prior to & after work as well. My schedule is pretty flexible. I have multiple pups & even more cats. I have a fenced in backyard that our babies thoroughly enjoy being able to roam & explore daily. During my visits, I will care for your baby however you've instructed because I know it's beneficial for them to stay on their own schedule. A couple of mine have high anxiety so I fully understand the benefits of staying home & keeping schedules as much as possible. If they don't have a fence & need walks, I will welcome the additional steps.
“2nd time booking with Jordan. Just top notch service. I’m so pleased with the level of patience and care Jordan consistently shows our little guy. I’m very picky about who I leave Jasper with, Jordan is very trustworthy and would highly recommend her services. Thanks again Jordan! See you again soon!”

“Dalton does an excellent job! I left home reassured that my pet (family member) would be just fine because he handles everything in such a confident and professional manner!”


About: I have had pets in and out of my life throughout my entire childhood. I have dealt with puppies, kittens, fish, and hamsters. Caring for animals comes naturally to me and I want to share the love! I currently work a pretty fast-paced, full-time job, but I do get bored fast. Why not spend my off days caring for some fur babies? I keep my cats on fairly strict schedule with eating, and I try and play with them a few minutes out of every day. Whatever my client prefers, I will accommodate accordingly. Every pet is different and unique and should be treated as such!

About: Hi! I’m Linda, and I’ve always loved animals and the comfort, personality, and joy they bring into our lives. I’m dependable, organized, and genuinely enjoy spending time with pets — whether that’s going for walks, giving them attention during drop-in visits, or simply helping them feel comfortable and cared for while their owners are away or busy. I work full-time at the University of Southern Mississippi, so I understand how important reliability, communication, and trust are. I’m looking to offer flexible evening and weekend pet care and would love to help give pet owners peace of mind knowing their pets are in good hands. I’m happy to provide updates, photos, and extra attention to help both you and your pet feel comfortable. Pet care fits naturally into my routine. I work full-time at the University of Southern Mississippi and have availability during evenings, weekends, and some daytime hours on work-from-home days. I enjoy being active and spending time with animals, so walks and drop-in visits are a great fit for my schedule and lifestyle I focus on making pets feel safe, comfortable, and cared for while keeping their normal routine as consistent as possible. During walks and drop-in visits, I make sure pets get attention, exercise, fresh water, potty breaks, and plenty of care and patience. I also understand how important communication is for pet owners, so I’m happy to provide updates and photos during visits.
“Deanna played with my babies and took care of them. She was concerned about their wellbeing and presence. She even got my shy baby to come out and visit. Well done will use again.”

About: I am dedicated to delivering exceptional pet care. I understand that every pet is unique so I’ll work with you to create a customized care plan for your fur baby. I work part time right now so I’m usually available for morning and mid day walks. I can always work with your schedule as well. I treat all fur babies the same as I do my own. I like to engage in playtime, go on walks and even teach some new tricks.
About: I’ve grown up with dogs my whole life. I’ve always loved watching other people’s pets when needed growing up. I have trained a few dogs to sit, stay, paw, and high five! I’m currently in college. I finish my bachelors this December and then I will be going for my masters. I do have a full time job but I have made a goal to pay off my college debt before I graduate. My schedule is flexible. For in house pet sitting for more than a couple of days I will need notice. I cannot watch pets in my home as I live in an apartment and have two furry critters of my own. If I am not in house pet sitting, I will stop by every two to four hours and to love on you baby and let them out.
Riverside pet parents share their Rover experiences
It was the first time to leave my 2 Labradoodles at home because we were going away for a week to somewhere they could not go with us. My faith and trust in Kerrington to take good care of my babies made my trip enjoyable. I didn't have to worry about them. She's the best!

Brenda is my go-to pet sitter and I trust her completely. She has such a kind heart and is incredibly considerate. She’s wonderful with my pet and always makes sure everything is taken care of. Knowing my cat is with Brenda gives me total peace of mind, and I would absolutely recommend her to anyone.
