“Amber was fantastic! My dog Nora really enjoyed her time with Amber and her family. Amber's communication was excellent—she was quick to respond and kept me updated with photos and messages throughout the stay. It's clear that Amber genuinely loves caring for animals, and I felt completely at ease knowing Nora was in such great hands. I will definitely be reaching out to Amber again the next time I need a dog sitter. Highly recommend!”

“Monika was great with our Billy, she made him part of the family. Communicated well and sent pictures and video on their walk in the park. Will definitely want to have her sit with Billy again.”

“Kelly was very accommodating and knowledgeable about dogs. I was afraid that Seven wouldn’t take to the new environment well but I can tell through the updates she gave that he really enjoyed his stay there. Not only that his food was cooked fresh and she was willing to do that as well. She’ll be my first call next time I need to go away!”

“Fantastic sitter! Brittany is very easy to work with on dropoff/pickup. She was an excellent communicator during our dog’s stay. But best of all, we could tell he was very comfortable at her house. I highly recommend Brittany and her girls - - - just leave me a spot. We will be rebooking. They are that good.”

“From start to finish, this was an exceptional experience. She was warm, communicative, and extremely flexible with timing, which meant so much to us. Our situation wasn’t the most straightforward, but she handled everything with patience, understanding, and genuine care. It’s rare to find someone who goes above and beyond the way she does. We are so thankful and wouldn’t hesitate to recommend her to anyone! We felt completely at ease knowing Sassy was in such great hands! We are beyond grateful and would book her again in a heartbeat! Highly, highly recommend!”

“I had a trip to Anniston planned and my lodging did not allow pets. Thankfully Kristie was available to board my pup! We are ever so grateful for her TLC and compassion. She is top notch with her dog care and communication along with photos! If I could rate her more than 5 stars, I would! Lovely personality and I know my pup was in good hands, thank you Kristie!”

“Ms. Brenda was able to accommodate me with a last minute booking for boarding. She was extremely sweet, caring, and friendly. My baby loved exploring in her spacious and shaded yard.”

About: I’ve taken care of animals since the young age of 10 and have always been an animal lover of all animals and have owned several dogs. I have always trained my own from potty training, crate training, to shaking hands, and have always done amazing with them. I’ve rescued several animals and strays. I absolutely love all fur babies and enjoy taking them on hikes and would love to take your fur baby on a hike or to play fetch. I work a full time job Monday-Wednesday with having a very short work day on Thursdays. I always have the spare time throughout my off days and will be able to take good care of your fur babies at all times. I have a huge yard with one fur baby that could keep yours company. My fur baby is friendly and would love to have a play date. I also can easily crate your animal if i ever needed to do so.
About: I’ve taken care of dogs since I was a child! From growing up with them, to helping friends and family, to fostering for shelters and rescues! I work full time, but do have allotted time to run home to let pets out/feed! My boyfriend is also a huge help to filling any gaps! I ensure all pets receive the best care! From food choice (if not provided), to toys, to play time w/ my pups (if wanted)! I provide a safe but fun environment!
“Bebe and Bandit, our 2 yorkies, stayed with Christen for a week while we were on vacation. I never had to worry about them- she sent me pictures and updates on how they were doing. I have no doubt they were spoiled rotten while they were there! If you need dog sitting in the Pell City area, don’t hesitate to book with her!”

About: I’ve been caring for dogs and cats since I was 10 years old. Growing up with pets taught me how to handle all kinds of breeds, personalities, and needs from feeding and walking to bath time and snuggles. Friends, neighbors, and family have always trusted me to love on their fur babies like they were my own. Whether it’s playful pups or older pets who need extra patience, I show up with love, reliability, and experience. I work full-time, but I’m still available for evening walks, drop ins, and weekend care. My schedule stays consistent, and I always make time to give your pet the attention and care they need. Whether it’s playtime after work or overnight boarding on weekends, I’ve got you cover I don’t have a fenced yard, but I live near a big open field and have a dog park right in my complex plenty of space for safe outdoor play. I’m mindful, attentive, and follow your pet’s routine closely. Your dog’s safety, comfort, and happiness always come first.
“We couldn’t have been more pleased with Alexis as our dog sitter while we were away on our trip. She was incredibly attentive to our dog’s needs and went above and beyond to make sure Molly was well cared for. Alexis made us feel like she cared just as much about our dog as we do, showing a genuine love for animals that goes beyond just doing it for the money. We truly appreciate her dedication and compassion. Without a doubt, Alexis will be the first person we call the next time we need a sitter. We love her and highly recommend her to anyone in need of pet care!”

“Samantha was awesome! Our first time to book through Rover and we will definitely book with Samantha again. She took such great care of my 2 small dogs and even sent me updates & pictures throughout their stay. It was wonderful not worrying about them, knowing they were being extremely well taken care of.”
