About: I have experience caring for dogs and I also have my own dog, Bonnie, who is a beloved part of my family. Caring for Bonnie has taught me how important it is to provide pets with patience, love, attention, and a consistent routine. I am comfortable with feeding, providing fresh water, walks, playtime, keeping pets company, and making sure they are safe and comfortable. I understand that every pet has a different personality and needs, so I always take the time to learn their routine and make them feel at home. I am a responsible, caring, and trustworthy pet sitter. My goal is to treat every pet as if they were my own and give them plenty of love and attention while their family is away. I will also keep you updated with photos and messages so you can have peace of mind knowing your pet is happy and well cared for. I am home full-time and have a very flexible schedule, making my home a comfortable and welcoming place for your pet to stay. I am available for boarding and can provide your pet with plenty of attention, companionship, playtime, and care throughout the day. Your pet will also have the company of my sweet dog, Bonnie, who is a friendly and beloved part of our family. I will make sure every pet feels comfortable and safe around her and receives plenty of individual attention as well. Your pet’s safety and comfort are my top priorities. My home is a calm, clean, and welcoming environment where pets can relax and feel like part of the family. I have my own dog, Bonnie, and I am very attentive to her safety and well-being. My yard is not fenced, so I never allow Bonnie to go outside without being on a leash. I would follow the same routine with your pet and always take them outside on a leash to make sure they are safe and secure. I understand how important it is to trust someone with your pet. I will closely supervise your pet, follow your instructions and routines, and make sure they receive plenty of love, attention, and care throughout their stay. My goal is for you to feel confident and comfortable knowing your pet is safe and well cared for in my home.

“my dogs LOVE mia and their family! i usually get home from a trip and get the cold shoulder or anxiety from my boys. this time i think they miss mia as much as they missed me! mia sent me frequent photos and in every single one my boys were having a blast 🧡 i could tell mia really cared about their wellbeing! their medication schedules and my one boy being on prescription food makes me nervous about going to a kennel with so many dogs that they could potentially get looked over. no shade to those businesses but with senior dogs needing specialized care im so grateful we found mia. will definitely be repeat customers!”

“Jennifer kept us up-to-date with photos and video of our Buttercup. Buttercup had never been with other dogs before and she apparently had unlimited energy with Jennifer's dogs and her. When she got home, she slept until 2:00 p.m. the next day. She was worn out -- so you know she had a great time!!”

She really took care of Oreo like one of her own. I’m very grateful for all she’s done. We feel very lucky to have found her. I’m pretty sure Oreo is ready to see her again already. ?”

She sent lots of pictures and provided updates whenever possible and I just knew she was loving him like her own. She will be my go-to whenever I’m in the area and I’m glad to have booked with her.”

“I don’t think I could have chosen anyone better to watch my puppy than Michael! From start to finish he was so kind, communicative, and very clearly has a huge passion for dogs. Throughout the whole stay he sent regular updates with photos/videos and thoughtful messages, and I was so relieved knowing she was being cared for as if she was his own. Maggie had an absolute blast running around in his spacious yard and playing with his amazing and formidable Lily Lou! Michael was so patient with all of Maggie’s silly habits and bad puppy manners, he was also incredibly flexible with his schedule and when our plans changed. Overall he made the whole experience totally stress free. I’m so thankful that I found him, he’s truly the best and I wouldn’t hesitate for a second to book with him again! 10/10 recommend. Thank you so much Michael! 🥰”

Frequently asked questions about Rover

Rover is the largest marketplace for local pet care. Whether you're looking for pet sitters, dog walkers, or house sitters who specialize in pet sitting, you can narrow your search by entering your ZIP code to find sitters within walking distance in your neighborhood.

Every sitter on Rover has their own routine. Depending on the arrangements you agree on before the stay, a sitter can follow your dog’s regular feeding schedule, provide a comfortable place to sleep, offer companionship, and support their usual exercise and play needs.

Depending on the sitter, their home environment, and your dog’s needs, daily exercise may include walks, outdoor play, indoor enrichment activities, or supervised play with compatible dogs. These activities are not automatically included with every booking, so ask the sitter what a typical day looks like.

During the Meet & Greet, discuss your dog’s usual exercise and play routine, whether they can safely interact with other dogs, and any activities or restrictions the sitter should follow. You can also ask the sitter to send photo and message updates during the stay so you can see how your dog is spending their time.

Preparing for drop-off is easy when you have a checklist! To help your dog settle into their Saint Elmo home-away-from-home, packing:

  • Health and safety essentials such as their ID tags, vaccination records, medication, and emergency vet or secondary caregiver contacts.
  • Food and gear such as harnesses, collars, food (portioned by day), and an item that smells like you.
  • Special instructions such as a list of training cues, medical administration needs, or favorite hang-out spots in your Saint Elmo.

<b>Tip:</b> You can upload your dog’s routine and medical info directly onto their profile so your sitter always has the details at their fingertips.

You and your Saint Elmo sitter can schedule drop-off and pick-up in a way that works best for the both of you—and your dog. Most sitters offer flexible times for drop-off and pick-up but the easiest way to confirm those times will be through in-app messaging. Confirm your arrival time the day of pick-up and drop-off can also help keep the process smooth and organized.

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 , which provides up to 25,000 in eligible veterinary care reimbursement.

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 .

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.

By discussing your pet's health history early, you’re adding a layer of confidence for you and your sitter before the booking begins.

If a health concern arises during a stay, your sitter is instructed to contact you and our Trust & Safety team immediately and, if needed, take your dog to the closest veterinarian. Through our Trust & Safety support team, sitters can ask for diagnostic advice from a qualified veterinary professional if your dog is showing signs of possible illness.

For extra peace of mind, you can also prepare an authorization form for your regular vet. An authorization form outlines your preferred method of care and allows your sitter to bring your pet into their regular clinic.

Every qualified booking made on Rover is backed by the Rover Guarantee, which includes reimbursement for eligible emergency vet care.
