“Brooklynn did such a fantastic job with my pups. She updated me frequently and made me feel at ease knowing my dogs were in good hands. Will absolutely be using her again”

About: I’ve been around dogs my whole life—since I was 5 years old. My mom is a dog groomer, and I worked with her for years, which gave me hands-on experience with dogs of all sizes, temperaments, and needs. I currently have three of my own, ranging from 40 to 190 lbs, so I’m very comfortable handling large breeds and high-energy pups. I’m confident with everything from basic care to reading dog body language and managing senior or anxious dogs with patience and calm energy. I work from home, so I’m home all day and able to give your pet plenty of attention, playtime, and potty breaks. My flexible schedule means I can easily stick to your dog’s routine and be available for walks, feedings, and cuddle time throughout the day. Whether I’m caring for pets in my home or yours, safety and comfort are always my top priorities. I take the time to understand each pet’s routine, personality, and any special needs or quirks. I follow instructions closely, keep a clean and calm environment, and never leave pets unattended in unsafe situations. I also give regular updates so you always know how your pet is doing. My goal is to make sure they feel secure, happy, and at home—wherever they are.
“Allison is awesome! This was our first time using Rover, and from start to finish, it was a great experience, in no small part, due to her patience and kindness. She is very responsive, and communicated early and often - before, during and after her stay. She was wonderful with our two pups, and they were happy and content when we got home from our trip. Highly recommend!”
About: Hello, my name is Alex! Animals have always been an interest of mine (fun fact: my favorite animal is the grizzly bear) and I love caring for them! I've been taking care of my family dogs for the last 5 years and recently adopted my kitty a little over a year ago. Outside of that, I volunteer at my local shelter and have been hired to walk dogs by neighbors as well as dog/ house sit from time to time. I may be new to Rover but I am not new to being dependable and responsible! I am currently a Junior in college and do not work a job during the academic year. My main constraint is classes when school is in session, but other than that I will work diligently to fit into whatever schedule is needed of me! I know how difficult it can be to trust someone else with your pet. This is why I do my absolute best to make sure each fur baby is treated with the same love and care that I would want for my own. My goal is to give them - and you - the absolute best experience possible.
About: I have a dog and 2 cats if my own so I consider myself experienced in pet care. I have dog sat for many years now for both neighbors and family. I don’t mind cleaning up after pets and I can give medicine to unwilling pets. I don’t currently have a job so I am free whenever! I am simply looking to make some money to help with college in the fall. I have a fenced backyard and my pets are friendly. I can easily crate your pet if that’s what they’re used to. I can also come to your house to take them out and give them plenty of love.
About: I love watching animals more than anything! Always know that your animal is loved and in great hands when I am in charge and responsible for them I am a full time student at The University of Alabama. This is my first year so I am still getting used to everything! I only have 2 classes max a day so have plenty of free time!! I know how to crate animals, as I have a puppy back home that is crate trained. If your yard is not fenced I will at all times keep your dog on a leash!!
About: I’ve taken care of neighborhood dogs of all shapes and sizes for 9+ years! I keep active dogs playing and active and will cuddle with your cuddle bug! I’m currently a student at UA with a very flexible schedule that allows me to be available short notice and often! I work as a Certified Nursing Assistant outside of my class schedule. I will ensure pet safety in all measures possible, actively communicate with you and send photos if you miss your pets! I cater to each pet as they are their own individuals.
About: I have been training and taking care of dogs and cats since I was little. I love playing and caring for all types of my four legged friends. I am currently attending the University of Alabama, so my schedule is very flexible and open to all types of schedules! My schedule is completely open in summer. Please reach out for any questions! I have a big yard with two friendly outdoor labs. I also live on the lake if your dog likes to swim. Indoors, I have two cats that do not mind dogs or other cats.
About: I have been an avid pet lover, owner, and caregiver my entire life! Throughout my teenage years I worked, and rode, for many top equestrian facilities in Georgia providing weekend barn care such as stall cleaning, feeding, and turnout. I have provided farm/pet sitting for numerous clients, friends, and families over the years, being solely responsible for up to 30 horses, as well as their pets, at one time. Most recently, I have 5 years of experience working in the veterinary industry. I currently have 2 dogs! A 4 year old Golden Retriever and a 7 year old Shepsky who both are my best friends! I currently do work full-time in Birmingham, however I am off every Friday and available on weekends as well! Mondays-Fridays I can provide afternoon and evening pet care services as well. At home, we have a fully fenced in yard and both of our dogs are friendly and love to play! I can also crate your pets if need be, and am comfortable administering oral/topical medications.
About: I have always had animals around me since I was little. I just started doing house sitting and I was highly recommended by a family friend. I’m very dependable and can be trusted with your babies. I’ve helped out with animals here and there for family and I’m trying to get myself out there so that someone can have someone to help them out I’m available at any time of the week, I have a lot of time on my hands and when I’m needed, I will always be there. I have a family dog that is very loving and she’s a inside dog and is very much house trained and she’s a small dog that everyone wants to love on
About: I have experience with both puppies and senior pets, and I’m really good at picking up on their needs. I’m patient with training, gentle with older pets, and always go the extra mile to make sure they feel safe and loved. I treat every animal like family and take pride in being dependable and caring. Pet care is a central part of my daily and weekly routine. I plan my days around each pet’s needs to ensure they receive consistent, personalized attention. Mornings typically begin with feeding, walking, or checking in on pets who stay overnight or require morning visits. Midday is often dedicated to dog walks or drop-in visits, especially for pets who need a bathroom break, medication, or company while their owners are at work. Follow the pet’s regular feeding schedule, including any medications. Provide fresh water at all times. Take dogs on walks or let them out as needed. Keep cats’ litter boxes clean and odor-free. Stick to the pet’s normal routine to reduce stress. Spend quality time with pets through play, affection, and attention.
“Last minute booking and was happy to have found Fiona. Now, ecstatic that I did !!!! She did a meet a greet for about an hour a few days before we left to meet us and the pups. Showed up on time on the start date, stayed in touch to make sure we were comfortable and was waiting at our home on our return date. Pups were excited to see us, but we could tell they had been just fine without us. Our home was clean and in order. Fiona....Thank You, Connie and I truly appreciate it.”

I am very flexible with my hours:) I normally only offer house sitting and drop in visits (depending on the location.) I do not offer boarding as I do have pets of my own!! I would be happy to watch your house AND your pets while you are on vacation:)
About: I’ve been dog sitting for a long time, caring for chihuahuas all the way to Italian mastiffs. I am more than willing to adapt to the individual needs of the pet. I am a college student on summer break, so I am available anytime during the day. I am a very flexible and active person. I can take dogs out for walks, tire them out, or just sit with them. I can take your dog on a walk near your house, a trail, or park. I can keep them company and wear them out in the backyard or inside if needed.

About: About Us: We’re a dog-loving couple with experience caring for our own pups and others’. We offer a calm, loving home with a fenced yard and give lots of attention. We’re home most evenings and weekends, and we’re happy to stick to your dog’s routine to the best of ability. Whether it’s cuddles, fetch, or medication needs—we’ve got it handled! Why We Do This: We know how important it is to find someone you trust. Our dogs are part of our family, and we treat your fur baby the same way! We both work full-time during the day, but pet care still fits naturally into our routine. Mornings and evenings are structured and calm—ideal for play time in the backyard, feeding, and one-on-one time with your pup. Your dog will get plenty of attention before the day starts, and once we’re home, our evenings are dedicated to winding down with our pets. Weekends are usually spent at home, giving us time for longer playtime and cuddles. With our love for animals and established routines, your dog will feel safe, cared for, and part of our little family. If we visit your home, we will be sure to take care of your animal before and after our work day-as needed. We have a fenced in backyard, two dogs for company (a dog fence in the house if they you’re not comfortable with them mingling), and we will spoil your dog-just like we do ours! Our dogs have prescription food, need special care, and medicine, so those things are not unfamiliar to us!
About: I’ve taken care of dogs, cats, horses and goats since I was 6. I grew up training and riding horses and that spilled over into helping train dogs in high school and college, as well as rescuing and fostering strays/dumped animals. I have 2 dogs of my own and know that not having peace of mind about your pets while on vacation doesn’t feel much like a vacation. I can give you the peace of mind knowing your fur babies are being greatly cared for and loved on! I have 2 dogs of my own so I already have my daily schedule planned out where I can go home on my lunch breaks to care for and let dogs out to potty. I work at UA and live 5 mins from my office I can care for pets in my home or your home. I prioritize their safety and well-being first! I follow eating/meal schedules and can let out for potty breaks as often as needed. I have a fenced in yard, perfect for dogs to run and play, throw the ball around with them and sun bathe! In the summer/winter, I am extremely careful and cautious about the temperature for dogs being outside and pay attention to time of day for walks with the temp of the pavement in mind during the summer. I can guarantee you they will be well cared for and loved on like they’re my own!

Whether it's providing a balanced diet, ensuring they get plenty of exercise, or simply showering them with affection, Anna's dedication shines through. What sets Anna apart is her attention to detail. She notices even the slightest changes in their behavior or health, promptly addressing any concerns with a vet. Her home is always clean and safe, creating a comfortable environment for her furry friends. It's clear that she considers her pets as family members, and they, in turn, adore her.

Hannah E.
“Hannah came recommended to me through a close friend. I was desperate to find someone to housesit for me while I spent several weeks in Pensacola while my daughter gave birth to my first grandchild. I have two dogs and a cat that are my life and I needed someone to live in my home while I was away. I have an Aussie Doodle full of energy, a senior dog with back issues, and a lazy cat. I had specific routines and feeding rules for the dogs and I needed someone that I could trust to continue my routines when I was gone. Hannah came to my home 3 separate times to meet and hang out with me and my fur babies. She is personable, dependable, communicative, and most of all, she is an animal lover. She gave me the peace of mind I needed to leave town, with my home and my animals in her care, to be with my daughter. during this special occasion. Hannah was very responsive to texts and phone calls and always kept me up to date with what my babies were doing each day. She sent pics and videos too. Even ran to the store to grab extra food when it ran out. I would highly recommend Hannah for any and all of your house or pet sitting needs. She has become a wonderful friend to me and my fur babies and I will def use her in the future!!”
