About: I have been caring for animals from a young age, including providing compassionate support for terminally ill canines. My passion for the animal kingdom is deeply ingrained, and I am committed to their well-being. I am currently not working anywhere else besides Rover. I look forward to spending most of my time caring for and meeting some awesome animals! I have two Australian Shepherds, so I am prepared to play fetch for hours or just hang out for the belly rubs if that's what the pups prefer. I am organized so just let me know the feeding schedule and what their favorite treats are!

About: I have two cats at home that are pampered and I have previous experience as a dog walker. Dropping in is more than ensuring your pet has food and water - I will also ensure they meet their activity and social interaction goals to feel happy :) I also have experience with administering oral medicine to cats if needed. I'm currently working full-time, so I have availability in the early morning, afternoons and evenings. I am also available on weekends. Feel free to reach out and I'll do my best to accommodate! In your home, I will respect your privacy while caring for your fur baby. Cleanliness is important to me, as well as making sure your pet doesn't feel lonely while waiting for their parent to return. I will also send descriptive updates and photos to ensure their well-being.

“Taylor is great. She says hello to Marshmallow and loves on him every time she comes over to walk him. Marshmallow gets excited when he sees her and he only gets excited for food.”


“This was my first time using this service, and Khia was polite and responsive throughout the entire process. She made me feel comfortable with leaving my puppy son with her, and I will be using her service again.”


About: I have been a pet owner since my growing up years, but have raised kittens, a puppy, rescue dogs and helped my seniors live out their final years comfortably spoiled. At one point, we had 3 senior cats and 2 rescue Chihuahuas all at one time. Now, we have our 12-year old rescue Chihuahua and our almost 2 year old Chihuahua puppy. I'm currently available most anytime for pet care! I have 2 spoiled rotten Chihuahuas of my own and would love to spoil your pets, too! I live in North Huntsville and can get anywhere in town in 10 minutes or less. I have a fenced in yard that is approximately 3/4 of an acre with lots of shade and a covered porch. I have 2 Chihuahuas that are very friendly and love to keep their friends company. I have a finished basement and plenty of space and have several sizes of crates and playpens if needed. I treat other's pets like my own, with love and care and lots of attention!

“Mackenzie did an amazing job with my pups and they both loved having her visit to walk them. One of my pups can be difficult about taking her medication but Mackenzie did great. I will definitely hire her again for my next trip.”


About: If you are looking for a place for you animal to stay and be loved just like at home… look no further. With the opportunity to have their own space as needed, they will pal around with me all day just like at home with you. I currently work full time remotely at home, so I have the blessed opportunity to be with my animals nearly all day. With a fenced in back yard, we go in and out all day, chat, and lounge on the couch. When watching animals, I try to adhere to your schedule and routine as much as possible. I will take time to get to know you and your animals. This will help make the transition as easy as possible. With potty and couch breaks all day, I create a calm and peaceful atmosphere for you animals to have the opportunity to be loved while still taking their own space too.

About: I've been dog sitting for 9 years and absolutely love it! Whether it’s quick drop-ins for walks and meals, giving meds, or hanging out with a whole pack of pets, I’ve got it covered. I’ve done everything from weekend stays to long vacations, and I always treat your pets like part of the family. Snuggles, belly rubs, and happy tails are guaranteed! In Huntsville temporarily as I prepare to move to Australia in December... how does that work with my schedule? Well, I have a ton of time on my hands between my small projects to come care for your pets. I am extremely flexible and can make almost any day/time work! When caring for pets in and out of your home, I prioritize safety and trust with you and your pets by providing dependable, loving support tailored to your pet’s needs. No matter the need (overnight stays, drop-in visits, walks, feeding, potty breaks, playtime, administering medication) I’m flexible in my care style! If you prefer a structured routine or a more relaxed, intuitive approach, I'm able to adapt to what works best for your pet. My goal is to always keep them comfortable, happy, and feeling at home while you’re away, and ensuring you feel connected with your pets by sharing updates and photos during each visit!

About: I’ve taken care of dogs my entire life, I grew up with them and took good care of them to their very last days! I’m no stranger to senior dogs either, my childhood pets made it all the way to college to me! I love dogs and have a special heart for the misunderstood ones (grew up with pit bulls 🥹) I currently work part-time and I’m a full time graduate student, taking a light load, at Alabama A&M! With that being said I’m punctual and versatile when it comes to my schedule I’m well versed in reading a dog’s body language and I always made sure my own dogs followed the rules when my father wasn’t home. To enable trust between the owners and the dogs I willing to provide updates throughout the day/night to ensure safety in all corners. Listening and understanding their needs is something I’m well knowledgeable in while also keeping them in routine and of course spoiling them like little babies.

About: I’ve taken care of dogs of every kind since I was a young adult. I grew up with pets and am a huge animal lover. Neighbors, friends and family have all relied on me to walk, feed and bathe their pets. I have experience in working with blind dogs, a diabetic cat who must receive shots every day at a specific time and potty trained a 12 week old puppy. I had two dogs on national dog day and was able to one to Krispy Kreme for doggy donuts. I brought back more delicious treats as I picked up the 2nd dog. With the owners permission I took sweet Pheobe to the Trash Panda's Wet Nose Wednesday baseball game. She had a blast! Any fun activity I find I like to keep the dogs entertained and bring along with me to any dog friendly event. I work remotely so I have the flexibility to care for your animals. Who doesn't love a good distraction with doggies or cats? I love the company! I have a fenced in backyard with no neighboring dogs on either side. I will be able to let them run free and burn off some energy and have potty breaks as needed. Any particular feeding schedules and dietary restrictions can be accommodated.

About: Passionate about animals and have been taking care of them since I was 11. I have experience with all types of breeds and ages to include raising two pups of my own. I have experience training puppies and working with more mature dogs that need a little extra care. We enjoy the outdoors so your pup will get a lot of sunshine and wag time in my care. I am currently working part time so will have plenty of time to care and play with your fur baby. I can be available any time I have a large fenced in backyard with 2 loving dogs to keep your fur baby company. I can also crate your dog if needed

About: I have spent a lot of time pet sitting, but I’d like to get more action with dog walking as well. I have an Aussie and I love being very active! I trained him as a puppy and he is a certified ESA. With that, I have a lot of patience and dog training experience. I am also very active and work in healthcare, so I accept challenges head-on. I’ll be starting PA school in January and instead of taking time off work, I will be living out my dreams and loving on pups and cats through Rover during my time before school and hopefully during! I have an Aussie so he is very high energy and loves attention. I love playing tug and going for walks with Ozzy. He is a herding dog so I run in circles with him so he gets that enrichment. I enjoy meeting new friendly animal faces and human faces. I am very outgoing just like Ozzy and fitness and community involvement is very important to me. As far as my actual schedule: I am very flexible so just ask and I can make it work. Monday through Friday is ideal but I can do Saturday as well This depends on the animal’s unique needs. An elderly dog or cat needs much different care than a pup or kitten I am very attentive and caring and take frequent potty breaks since I like being active
