“I cannot recommend Jennifer enough! She took amazing care of our three dogs while we were away for a week long trip. She sent pics and updates throughout everyday, took them on daily walks, played outside and spent so much time just hanging with them so they’d feel loved while we were gone. We also came home to a clean house and watered plants 🙌🏼🙌🏼 She’s so great!!”
“Bethany is the BEST! We can’t even begin to tell you how much we loved her, nor could our mini Aussie, Mateo 🩵. We are from Michigan and came in for a wedding. Bethany came to the house a day before for a meet and greet and we knew instantly. Mateo was comfortable with her as soon has she petted him. He has a good sense when it comes to “good humans” ♥️ She understood his breed traits and she gave him all the needed stimulation and love he needed to have a successful couple of days away from home as we attended the various events for the wedding. Bethany was prompt, friendly, and so loving with Mateo. She felt like family to us so quickly. We highly recommend her, yet you better book way in advance 😍 Thank You Bethany for really being the best caregiver for our puppy Mateo!”
“Kai took great care of our pups while we were away. They both warmed to her quickly and they got along great. They were regularly fed, taken outside, and played with. We received pictures each day as well. Kai was accessible by both text and voice when we did our daily check-in.”
“Khia took care of our puppy in our home, and we couldn't have been more pleased with her services. Khia did an excellent job looking after Uno while we were away. She was reliable, responsible! It was clear that Khia not only met our expectations but exceeded them with her attention to detail and proactive communication. We highly recommend Khia to anyone looking for a trustworthy pet sitter!”
“Karen was amazing! She let me know when she got to the house and kept me updated with tons of pictures of my dogs. I had no worries being away from them under Karen’s care! Definitely plan on booking with her again!! Thank you again, Karen!”
“Lawryn was great! She sent daily updates with pictures when she fed the dogs. She spent time with them and made sure they didn’t feel alone when we were gone on a trip. They seemed to really enjoy her presence. Would definitely recommend her services!”
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!
“Madison was great! All of my animals seemed happy and well taken care of when I got home and my house looked just like how I left it! All the cute photo updates were awesome to receive!”
“Elise was amazing from start to finish. She agreed to an overnight on short notice and took care of my 2 dogs like they were her own. Sue was very communicative and responsive, sending pics throughout the visit. Will 100% book her again. Thank you for allowing me to have a much needed stress free night.”
About: I have been a pet owner since I was 14 years old. Family member have also allowed me to pet sit their fur babies with regular walks, feedings, and required medication needs. I have two senior dogs myself and understand the dynamics of the extra care and needs they require. I am currently seeking a career change for something that brings me joy, which is ofcouse fur babies. I am willing to discuss any clients times/days that work for both of our needs. I currently reside on an acre of land with two beautiful dogs to keep your fur babies company. With effective communication of your pups needs I can provide a safe and happy environment while you are away.
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!
“Miranda did a great job housesitting with my two dogs! She was easy to reach and communicate with. One of my dogs is quite wary of strangers but Miranda did really well with him so he was able to relax and warm up to her. We returned to a tidy house, and happy healthy dogs. Would be happy to book Miranda again!”
“Hope house/pet sat for us for a week and did an excellent job. Communication was good, she was responsive, and provided updates. We returned to a home that was as clean or cleaner than when we left. Would definitely enlist her services again if our needy dogs haven't chased her away.”
About: I’ve been fostering and volunteering at animal shelters for over 10 years so working with animals has been a big part of my life for a long time. I really love animals and care about making sure they feel safe and comfortable. I’m dependable easygoing and good at picking up on what each pet needs whether it’s a slow walk for a senior pup or some patience with a nervous rescue. A bonus: I love photography so you'll definitely get photos of your fur-baby while you're away. My schedule is pretty flexible so I can usually fit in walks or drop ins during the day. I’ve been fostering and volunteering with animals for years and I’ve had members of my own fur family for 20 years. Pet care has always been a big part of my life and I’m used to balancing it with my routine and making sure pets get the time and attention they need. Whether I’m at your place or mine, I focus on keeping pets comfortable and happy. I stick to their usual routine as much as possible and follow any instructions you give me. I’m comfortable with walks, feeding, meds, and just hanging out giving lots of love. I always keep things clean and safe so you don’t have to worry.
“We had Ashlyn stay at our house while we were out of town for a week. She took great care of our pup and kitty while we were gone! It was wonderful getting the photo updates and so nice to not stress out our animals by kenneling them. Everyone was so much happier (including us!) to have Ashlyn house/pet sit. We will be booking again for sure!”
“Morgan did a wonderful job putting our dogs (and us!) at ease while we were gone. One of our dogs takes a little more warming up, and Morgan was so patient with her. She also handled some unexpected situations with grace and prompt communication. She is a gem!”
“Amanda and Benjamin were such great sitters for our dogs over Christmas, they even got the dogs a couple toys as Christmas presents to make the day special! They are great at communicating and sending updates and made sure our dogs had lots of special attention and care. We loved having them dog sit for us!”
“It’s clear that Sam is an animal lover. While I was out, Addie got all the snuggles and was a very happy pup when I got home. I’d definitely use Sam again in the future to watch Addie.”

Halli D.
“I have the privilege of knowing Halli in both a professional and a personal setting so I feel uniquely qualified to speak to not only to her strong and dedicated work ethic, but also her compassion and empathy for all living beings. I have known Halli for years, having worked for the same company, but it was our mutual love for animals that brought us together as friends and kept us close long after we'd left our shared employer. There is an extremely short list of people I would trust with my animals, and Halli is at the top of that list. Her superpower is empathy and I know without a shadow of a doubt that any animal under her care will be treated as if they are her own. She has experience with all sizes, breeds, and ages - she has owned, fostered, and cared for numerous dogs and cats needing extra medical attention and care. I would refer her 100 times over to anyone looking for an extremely responsible, devoted, loving, capable and responsive caretaker.”
