1. Feather L.
About: Not only have I raised and kept animals all my life, including my own bundle of cats and a dog that I currently call family, I have also worked several years professionally caring for animals in day cares, boarding houses, and even get clinics. I am well versed in making sure animals get their medicine as they are required, and just ensuring the animals are happy and comfortable. I work early in the morning but I am off by 1 pm most days, allowing for lots of time for play or companionship in the afternoons! If you are close to my work (within ten miles) I will be able to play for a bit in the mid morning too! I am not able to do any boarding (I currently house 4 cats and a dog), but I am very flexible with following any guidelines or requests! I am able to administer pills to both cats and dogs, and love to spend time either cuddling or playing with animals.

About: I've always had dogs and cats since I can remember. I have 3 cats and 1 dog of my own. I work on a mobile vet clinic van on the weekends. I see my pets like my kids. I love taking care of them daily. My pets get extra attention, treats and snuggles every chance I get. I can come in and give your dog potty breaks and feedings. I can also scoop any litter and change any pads. I am also willing to do any brushing as well.

5. Nicholas R.

“If you're looking for a dependable pet sitter that communicates with you about positive experiences with your pet as well as concerns, Nick is great. We have an elderly dog, and Nick was great with handling the issues related with elderly dogs.”


6. Meghan L.
“Meghan is great with animals! She has taken care of my dogs. She has also helped us when we bred our shepherds. She is very responsible and has a huge love for animals! I’ve never seen a dog that didn’t like her! She is a natural! Highly recommend her!”


7. Felicity G.

“Felicity did an excellent job taking care of our three high-maintenance cats! She came to meet them ahead of time, which we really appreciated, and while we were gone, she sent very detailed care reports and pictures. We feel extremely comfortable leaving our pets in her care again in the future — it’s so nice to have the peace of mind when we go out of town since our cats are high maintenance and two of them are older.”


8. Hannah R.
About: Growing up, I always had several dogs in my home, and have even adopted two of my own. Over the years I’ve gained a lot of experience working with hundreds of animals with a wide range of breeds and pets of all ages and sizes. I have experience taking care of dogs anywhere from feeding to walking to playing (etc) for any age range and any size. As mentioned in the title, I have experience working at Birmingham’s local Humane Society and in that time learned a lot about animal behavior. This will help me ensure an animal’s comfort level, safety and trust during my time caring for them. I believe the key to taking care of animals is showing them genuine love and patience. I love animals and do this work to make some money on the side, but also because it brings me so much joy! All pets are considered family, so it’s guaranteed to treat them as such. Your pet’s happiness and safety are top priority so I aim to create a fun and stress free environment for everyone. I’m currently working side hustle jobs that give me the benefit of working with a very flexible schedule. Whatever your needs will be for me to properly care for for animals will be easily catered to during my time caring for your pet/pets. During my stay at a client’s home, I will be able to cater to the pet’s regular routine. I also am comfortable and experienced giving dogs medication if they are on a vet prescribed medicine. I am happy to discuss any needs of the household and go over any expectations of my tile in your space.


9. Naila C.

“Naila met with my cat and I prior to her first drop-in to get familiar with her. She was super sweet and did really well with my cat. She was on time for the drop-ins and sent plenty of pics of my kitty while I was gone ❤️ I will definitely book with her again.”




10. Porsha W.

13. Libby R.
About: I have taken care of many dogs even my own that is now 14 years of age and absolutely loves visitors. I have experience in trimming nails, bathing, boarding over 1 month, day care sitting, and much more.. I have worked at an animal hospital over a year! I am currently a full time student at UAB with online classes so I can have most of the day to take care of your fur babies. I work from 8am to 4:30pm with a big break in between. I have a fenced in yard with a doggy door and a friendly dog to keep your fur baby company. I can easily crate your dog if needed.


14. Callie W.
“Callie is phenomenal with animals. She is reliable, trustworthy, and always on time. My dog, Skittles, is relatively high maintenance due to her anxiety. She is a rescue with a troubled past and sometimes has difficulties accepting new people into her life. Callie was so patient with her, and she never gave up on working to make sure my dog was comfortable. Now, it's unbelievable how excited Skittles gets whenever she sees Callie! Callie is very responsive, and she's helped to make sure my house looks better than when I left it when she comes over. I never have to worry if Skittles has food or water with Callie. She is a wonderful young woman, and any pet and pet owners would be lucky to have her!”


15. Jennifer S.

“Jennifer was wonderful. This was our first time using “Rover” and it exceeded our expectations. Jennifer kept in touch with us and sent pics of our girl. We highly recommend Jennifer!!”


16. Emilia L.
“This was our first time using Emilia and she did an amazing job. I’ve learned to be clear with Rover sitters on the few things that are really important to us and she did both of them to the letter. Exactly on time to the reservation request, and pictures of all that was asked. Our cats are extra skittish with strangers but she found all of them and made sure they were as comfortable as possible”


17. Devonna C.
“Devonna is a wonderful and caring person who will take great care of your pet. She is responsible and reliable and you will be more than satisfied when you use her as a caregiver. Devonna will love your pets and care for them like they are her own pets. Give her a chance, you will be incredibly happy you did! I will use her every time I need a caregiver for my pets!”


18. Carmen B.

“Carmen was phenomenal. She sent updated pictures and hung out with my fur kids rather than just coming and going. Will be using her again in the future.”


19. Ana W.

“Ana did wonderful with my high energy Doberman. We are so thankful that she was on time and played with our Samshine. We would definitely ask her to help with drop ins again.”


20. Benji H.
