“Always so great with my Nova. Nova loves her and her family. I really appreciate her always helping me with my baby. She also always give me great advice for my baby. She also never turns me down with keeping her!”
“Laura is an absolute sweetie and my lil Tux the Yorkie fell in love with her! She does an amazing job communicating and sending updates (with photos)! I felt completely comfortable leaving Tux in her care. It’s so nice to not have to worry! We have used Rover over 10 times and I feel Laura has done the best!”
“Great experience! Our dogs were well cared for, and we appreciated the photos, updates, and the wonderful interaction with them. Thank you for taking such good care of our pets!”
“Brian and Sue are like Maggie’s adoptive parents! Maggie’s loves them and was clearly sad to leave after a 4-night stay! Can’t say enough about how happy we are to have them to watch Maggie when we can’t take her with us!”
About: I’ve grown up with two dogs, Stella and Bentley. I frequently foster animals ranging from puppies to adult dogs at my local humane society. I also volunteer with the cats as well! I will care for your pet as my own. I have class during the week but that is only for an hour or two a day. When I am not in class I am at home. I have plenty of time to take care of your pet. I am a very patient pet sitter. I listen and pay attention to what you tell me your dog or cat needs and I go beyond that. I do allow pets to be comfortable where they choose whether that’s on furniture, or on the cold floor. I will make sure your pets feel as comfortable as possible while away from their humans! I do not have any pets that live with me so having a guest pet every now and then is great.
About: I have taken care of dogs and cats of all kinds. I have always grown up with both. I dog sit frequently for my neighbors and friends! I love cats and have experience with them as well! I am currently in college at Auburn and I am typically there from 11-2 or 1230-330. I am about to start my job at Longhorn which I would typically work in the afternoon hours are unknown at the time. Pet care would be a priority and I would walk and care for the animal every chance I would have. I do not have a fenced in yard and I live in a trailer park by Auburn university. If wanted or needed I can crate your pet whenever I am at school or work!
“Mary Michelle was the absolute BEST! She sent multiple photo updates every day full of walks, snuggles, and playtime. I have a 5 month old puppy and was nervous about leaving her, but she was happy, calm, and brushed and clean when I picked her up!”
About: What sets me apart from other sitters is my hands-on experience caring for and training my own pets. I grew up with two dogs and a cat, and now that I live on my own, I have two cats and a dog of my own. I personally trained my dog, so I’m comfortable working with basic obedience, reinforcing routines, and helping pets learn through patience and positive reinforcement. I understand that every pet has a different personality, routine, and comfort level, and I take the time to get to know what makes each animal feel safe and happy. Whether I’m caring for an energetic puppy, a playful dog, or a more independent cat, I’m attentive to their individual needs and treat every pet like they’re my own. I’m also comfortable maintaining feeding schedules, administering basic care, keeping pets active and entertained, and giving them plenty of attention and affection while their owners are away. I am recently post-grad and work as a server full time. My schedule is very flexible and my availability is open across the week! We are closed on sundays as well! I ensure a safe and happy environment for your pets to have a fun time whilst making sure theyre staying active and playing all the time!
About: I have grown up with pets, I got my own dog when I was 12. I walked, bathed her, and fed her. After school I would walk many neighborhood dogs. I love all animals. We had a cat that got fixed and she ate out her stitches completely and the wound opened up. I calmly held her, packed the wound, and wrapped her up. I held her all the way to the vet. I’ve always loved animals and will take care of yours just as I would my own. Since I have a dog I care for her everyday. I have a job currently at a restaurant so my schedule varies every week, I usually work morning shifts until around 5 pm, but my schedule is different most weeks. I take my dog out right when I wake up and right when I get home, I will also feed her right when I get home. I have a little front yard but the neighborhood I am in is a good place to walk dogs. I have a little dog of my own and I make sure to keep my house clean and anything that could harm her is up and out of the way. In another clients home I would make sure to keep the area just as I found it and take the dog wherever the owner usually would walk there’s or if they have any other requests I would be willing to do them.
About: I have been helping friends and family for many years with pet sitting and pet walks. I am now offering my years of experience and love for animals on Rover.com. I have one dog (Scout) one cat ( Frankie) and 2 rabbits ( suki & gizmo). I love being around animals and also have many Ferrell cats that I feed in the uptown area. I enjoy volunteering at farm sanctuaries when I have time. I am experienced with caring for rabbits and bonding them and giving oral medication to all animals. I enjoy cooking healthy treats for my dog, cat, and rabbits. I have also been enjoying training my indoor cat to walk on a leash, she enjoys her outside time with my bunnies in their fenced patio.
About: I have had pets my whole life! cats, bunnies ,dogs ,mice ,chicken. I love animals and will love yours as I do mine! (which is a lot!!) right now I am a collage student working once a week at the hospital. and classes only Tuesdays and Thursdays so I have plenty of free time. for house sitting i have a lovely 5 month old doodle that loves all animals and is available to play if wanted and if not that’s okays to. i love to go on walks to just chill and snuggle anything that your pet needs or likes to do!
About: I have worked at several different vet clinics over the span of 4 years, and have spent lots of time working with expert animal handlers and trainers. I have raised and trained a pediatric therapy dog, and have spent time doing behavior modification training with all sorts of family dogs as well. I have a degree in Animal Sciences, as well as a degree in Psychology, which I apply every day in my dog training business. My life revolves around my dogs, and working with other people's dogs. Dogs are my passion and my priority. I love working with pets, and I am excellent at meeting their needs! In my daily and weekly routines, my dogs needs come first. We go walking, hiking, or swimming every day. Your pets will be treated the same way I treat my own pets, with love and affection! We have an unfenced yard, so your pup will stay on a leash, but I use extra long leashes (20-50ft) so your pet can run and play!
“Jen is the ABSOLUTE BEST!!! She helped us with our dogs on our wedding weekend and handled them with grace as it poured rain at our wedding and she rangled 2 dogs. She cared for every detail and sent almost hourly pictures, Finn and abba were living their best ‘college’ auburn life style in gorgeous apartment complex w a dog park. No request was too little or small, and she was a critical player in us having the most magical wedding weekend ever! Thanks Jen! Finn and Abba can’t wait for football season”

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 Sikes home-away-from-home, we recommend 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 Sikes.
Tip: 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 Sikes 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 Rover Guarantee, 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 Rover's Trust & Safety page.
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.
