“She and her family are absolutely the best! They took such great care of both of my dogs, and I felt completely relaxed and comfortable knowing they were in good hands while I was away. They were also very flexible and understanding when my flight was canceled and was willing to extend their stay. Both of my dogs came home so happy, and I could tell they had a wonderful time! I truly appreciate all their care and kindness. I highly recommend and will definitely book with them again.🐶”
“Katherine was great. I had never left Piper with anyone before. After I met Katherine at the meet and greet I felt very comfortable leaving Piper in her care. I just picked her up and I don't think Piper wanted to leave. I can tell she was loved on. I highly recommend Katherine and I will not hesitate to take Piper back if we need. Thank you, Katherine”
“Christy was able to take my booking last minute and I'm so appreciative. She and her family were great with my 10 year old Glizzy. She sent me pictures several times a day and Glizzy appeared to be very content at their house. Glizzy got lots of love from Christy and her family. Will definitely use again and I recommend Christy to anyone needing a sitter for their fur baby.”
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’ve always loved animals and have experience caring for both dogs and cats. I had a cat who was part of my family for 16 years, which taught me a lot about caring for an older pet with patience, love, and attention to their individual needs. I currently continue to care for dogs and cats, including my friends’ pets and my sister’s cat. I’m comfortable with feeding, walks, playtime, companionship, and following each pet’s specific routine and instructions. I understand that every pet has a different personality and needs, and I take the time to make them feel safe and comfortable. I’m responsible, attentive, and respectful of both pets and their homes. Whether your pet is energetic, shy, playful, or older, I’ll treat them with the same care and affection I would give my own. I have a flexible schedule that allows me to dedicate plenty of time and attention to pets. I can fit pet care, walks, playtime, and check-ins into my daily routine while making sure each pet receives consistent and personalized care. My apartment is quite spacious, with three floors, giving pets plenty of room to feel comfortable and move around. My complex also has a designated dog park, which is great for walks, playtime, and exercise. I provide a safe, clean, and welcoming environment and always follow each pet’s routine and specific needs.

“Audrey was absolutely wonderful! She sent us updates and pictures every day, which gave us so much peace of mind while we were away. Our dog clearly had a great time, he played every day, seemed completely comfortable, and was happy and relaxed when we picked him up. In the past, he has sometimes seemed nervous or skittish after staying with other sitters, but that was not the case at all with Audrey. We could tell he felt safe, well cared for, and genuinely enjoyed his stay. We were extremely satisfied with the care she provided and would gladly recommend Audrey to anyone looking for a trustworthy and attentive dog sitter. We will definitely use her again!”
“Carter has watched Sammy many times and as always, our girl is so happy staying with him! We've traveled on nearly week-long trips and feel confident that Sammy is in great hands. Carter is communicative and sends updates which we appreciate. I highly recommend booking with him.”
About: I have had my beagle for almost 6 years and one of my favorite things to do is take her to cute parks I find. If you know anything about beagles, you know they are very curious dogs who arent that great at walks - so I am experienced in taking care of slightly difficult dogs and love them regardless!! I am currently a biomedical sciences student at Auburn university. With my current schedule, I am in class until 1:00 on Mon/Wed and from 12:30-4:00 Tues/Thurs. Fridays I am unavailable until 5:00pm. I have a fenced in yard and an open courtyard nearby. My family dog has a lot of energy, so I am used to playing lots of games to get some of that energy out!
About: Hi!! I’m Sarah Pingel and I love animals!! I have a Siberian Husky/ Alaskan Malamute mix named Benny, he’s 6 years old and I love him with all my heart!! I also trained him myself and he can do many things, including knowing his lefts from his rights! I have volunteered at animal shelters for 10+ years, cared for many dogs and cats of all ages, helped train a few of the dogs I watched, and can administer medication. I also have a grooming certificate. Caring for animals is such a passion of mine and I can’t wait to take care of your furry family member! I currently write full time as an author, so I’m home most of the time. Because of this, your furry family will easily fit into my schedule. I have a dog too, so I’m always with him and I will always be around your babies too! My dog is spoiled rotten and I won’t let your furry family feel any less than that!!

About: I have professional animal care and veterinary clinic experience, which allows me to confidently care for pets of all ages and needs. I’m experienced with senior pets, medication administration, anxious animals, kittens, puppies, cats. I’m attentive, patient, and detail-oriented, and I always treat pets like family. I’m currently working full-time at a vet clinic, but I have plenty of room to work with. I am trying to lift up my pet sitting business around this area and soon hopefully I will have enough clients so that I can study while I am in vet school. If you message me about pricing and scheduling and letting me know what exactly you need, I will make sure to make it work. I treat the animals that come into my home like my pets, and I treat the animals. I take care and owners home like it is mine, so you can be reassured that everything will be taken care of and you can be at ease when you do boarding in your own home with me. I also include cleaning an errands.
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: Animals have been a lifelong passion of mine. In addition to owning and caring for a variety of animals on my farm, I have experience rescuing and fostering dogs and cats, helping them transition into loving homes. As a homeschool mom of five, I am dependable, patient, and attentive to detail. Whether your pet needs exercise, companionship, medication, special feeding routines, or simply lots of love and attention, I will care for them as if they were my own. My goal is to give pet owners peace of mind knowing their animals are safe, happy, and well cared for while they're away. Caring for animals is already a major part of my daily life. I live on a small farm where I care for animals every day. As a homeschool mom, my schedule is flexible, allowing me to provide frequent potty breaks, walks, playtime, feeding, and plenty of attention throughout the day. Pet care isn't something I squeeze into my schedule; it’s already part of my lifestyle, and I genuinely enjoy it. Your pet's safety and comfort are my top priorities. I have extensive experience caring for animals of all ages, sizes, and temperaments, including rescue and foster dogs. I carefully follow each pet's routine, feeding schedule, exercise needs, and any medication instructions provided by the owner. I live on a spacious farm with plenty of room for supervised outdoor time and exercise. I understand that every pet is different, and I take the time to help them feel secure, loved, and at home while you're away. I provide regular updates and photos so you can have peace of mind knowing your pet is receiving excellent care.

Pet parents share their Rover experiences - Smiths Station
Sandy and Mark took absolutely fantastic care of our dog. He has extra needs with medications and were able to make sure he was taken care of just like he is at home. The daily communication with pictures and updates was more than I could have asked for. Will definitely be using them again!
Sandra and Mark were absolutely wonderful! I couldn’t have asked for better dog sitters. They were incredibly friendly, caring, and clearly love spending time with dogs. My dog had such a great time with them — they played with him a lot and kept him entertained the whole time. Sandra was also amazing about sending regular updates, letting me know how he was doing, what activities he was up to, and how he was feeling. Those updates really gave me peace of mind while I was away. It was obvious that they treated my dog like their own and made sure he felt comfortable and happy. I’m so grateful for the care and attention they gave him. I would absolutely recommend Sandra and Mark to anyone looking for trustworthy, attentive, and genuinely kind dog sitters. I wouldn’t hesitate to book with them again!
All I can say is wow. Madison went above and beyond to make our baby Greyson comfortable, even given our sweet little boy a bath after playing in the mud with her sweet Shepherds. Was excited to see me when I picked him up, but he seemed that he was torn and wanted to stay with Madison as well. Definitely will rebook.

This can be helpful if you have a new pet or routine you want to go over with your sitter.
Meet & Greets can take place in person or virtually. If you are booking with a sitter for the first time, we recommend in-person Meet & Greets to get a clearer sense of how your sitter interacts with your pet or the new environment.
During the Meet & Greet, you will have a chance to walk through your pet's routine, medical needs, and unique quirks.

Meet & Greets are a great way to prepare your pet and sitter for longer stays or first-time bookings. Read our tips for your first .
