“I can not say enough wonderful things about Lauren! Our 3 pups stayed for a couple of nights and it was a great experience! They had so much room to run and play and seemed right at home! I know they were well taken care of and we can’t wait to use Lauren’s services again!”


“Mya is a wonderful sitter for our precious pup. She is our go-to without question! Her environment is a real home with real interaction, not a kennel. That is important to me. Thank you, Mya! You are an angel….really!”


“Amber went out of her way to make Snowflake feel at home. She even went to the store and bought her some chicken to boil because she didn’t want to eat her dog food. She was good to keep in touch and answer my questions soon after I asked them. She is a great sitter for my girl! I hope to book her to keep Snowflake again soon. Thank you, Amber!”


“Stephanie and crew watched my 2 dogs for 2 weeks while I was handling a family emergency. I had to extend their stay once and she was incredibly flexible and even bought them more dog food so that they could stay longer. She sent pictures and videos every day. They had a ton of fun with her. I would rebook in a heartbeat.”


“Elyssa was so so so great!! Updates with pictures the whole time she had my puppy! The sweetest soul and really passionate for what she does. I 100% recommend for her to watch y’all’s fur babies!!🥰🥰🥰🥰”



“Candace is so sweet. She took care of Jersey like he was her own. He was so loved he almost didn’t want to leave lol. She sent updates and communicated daily. My son felt his best friend, Jersey, was treated like family. I would recommend her to anyone!!! Can’t wait to use her again. Amazing!!”


“Parker was excellent at taking over the care of my dog after she was hit by a car. Very good communication, attended to her medication and observant of her behaviour after head trauma diagnosis.”


“My two adult labs had a glorious vacation with Tony and Kim. They exercised and played more than they get to at home. I am quite sure they will look forward to another chance to visit the Zieglers-and will know they are loved and cared for!”


About: Hi & thank you so much for your consideration! ☺️ We are a family of four with two sweet pups- our Olde English Bulldogge, Diesel & our Goldendoodle, Love. 🐶🐾 We have 2 teenagers who also adore pets & have been great caretakers. My husband & I are home during the day & will be able to give your furry friend the attention & care he/she needs. Your furry friend will be shown lots of love during his/ her stay. We know & understand the importance of not only caring for/ owning a dog, but that dog becoming a part of our family. 🩵💜 We believe in creating a safe & comfortable environment not only for our children, but our dogs as well. Our home is welcoming, fun, laid back, respectful, engaging & full of love. 🩵 No two dogs are alike. While some may need space & others love to be nearby- we will respect what your pup needs to feel at his/ her best. We started dog sitting for friends/family around 14 years ago & have been around dogs our entire lives. Over the years we have gotten to know some pretty amazing pups! 🐾🐶 Our schedules allow us to be home throughout the day to care for/ play with your furry friend. We have experience in giving meds, taking care of older dogs, younger dogs, & basic grooming needs. We know how hard it is to leave our beloved pets when traveling. We are here to make that transition a little easier. The comfort & safety is a top priority. We recommend a meet & greet to ensure both parties feel at ease. ☺️ Our schedules allow us to be home throughout the day & are pretty flexible. Your dog wouldn’t be left alone for an extended period of time( if any at all). Our dogs love to play & go for walks however, are pretty laid back. Our home has low windows that are great for sight seeing. I can take your pup on one walk or multiple walks a day. We have a back deck that is great for the pups to go sunbathing. ☀️ As well as a hammock & covered patio/deck that is fantastic for lounging out of the sun. If your pup prefers to sunbathe indoors- we have French doors where the sun perfectly shines in. ☀️ Our dogs have an open feeding station, however the food can be moved to another location if needed. We are a non- smoking household. We live on several acres tucked away from major roads & our property has a fenced in back yard. Our pups love to sunbathe, cozy up near the couch, lay close to each other & come in for snuggles. They also enjoy playing in the front yard, catching some shade under the trampoline, playing catch, tug a war, or chasing after a cat laser. Our dogs are house trained & use the back door with a bell when they need/ want to go outside. Typically, we don’t allow our dogs on the couch, however, we take into consideration with certain circumstances. Your dog will have freedom to roam around our house & be where we are. We want your pet to feel comfortable & at home in a new space. 🩵 Sleeping arrangements can be discussed as we have a few options.

About: I have worked at a vets office going on 8 years now as a vet technician. I studied animal science at Auburn University. I have dog/cat sat for several years. I work 3rd shift as a supervisor at a processing facility. I work 11:30pm-~7:00am. With my schedule I would still be able to do any morning or night check in you would need. I have 4 dogs that love to have friends to play with. I have a fenced in yard, but walk mine daily. I am a few minutes from Albertville’s Dog Park where my dogs love to go run and play.

About: With years of hands-on experience caring for dogs of all shapes and sizes, I've turned my deep love for animals into something truly personal. From playful pups to seasoned seniors, I've mastered the art of tail wags, belly rubs, and understanding each pet's unique personality. Whether it's daily routine, special needs, or those little quirks only a true pet lover would notice-I treat every furry friend like family. I work Mon - Thurs 8am-4pm and Friday 8am-2pm. If you need boarding, check ins or walking during these times please message me and other arrangements can be made if necessary. I work within 10 mins of my home and take an hour lunch break daily. I have a fenced in backyard and 3 fur babies of my own to play with your pups. I can also offer crating if you would prefer, but in our house all pups are free to roam and get in the beds and on furniture.

“I had a bit of a last second same day emergency with my pet sitting plans, and Christina agreed to watch my pup same day! It's always a bit nerve wracking leaving your pup in a new place for a weekend but Christina eased those worries immediately. Very good communication, sends lots of updates and My pup Maddux had the time of her life. I will definitely use Christina everytime I go out of town from now on and happy to have found Maddux's new sitter. Very easy drop off and pick up. Thanks Christina.”


About: I have been an animal lover all my life. I have loved 2 dogs and 3 cats. I no longer have pets of my own but still love the care and company of other's. Besides helping to care for my elderly parent's 2 dogs on a regular basis, I have fursat for a friend's dog both in her home and in my home for years and have an upcoming stay with a personal client's 2 dogs. Rover is new to me but I can provide references. I work remotely allowing me to stay in a client's home if necessary and am flexible throughout the day to allow me to attend to the needs of your pets. I will work to adhere to your pet's schedule and help to be consistent in their care. In my home, animals are allowed on furniture and on the bed. I used to love cuddling and sleeping with my animals and miss it very much. I have a large yard but do have a highway in front of my house so prefer to keep dogs on the leash while outside. I live on a farm so can allow the dogs to run or play fetch, and a lake to swim in, if they are trained to return. We do have horses as well but prefer to keep dogs in a separate area. I am doing this from my love of animals and will give your pets the same love and care that I gave my own pets.

“After an exhausting several weeks looking for someone to watch our two 1 yr+old Great Danes, we found Kayla. We had a vacation coming up, first in seven years, and couldn't leave our boys with just anyone. We found Kayla on Rover, asked a few questions and all seemed ok. We asked if we could do a one night trial just to make sure everyone got along and to get the boys comfortable with the idea of spending the night elsewhere as this would be their first time away from home. The boys were super excited when we arrived and were introduced to Kayla's fur family. Intros went well and it was time to leave them. I think leaving them was harder on us then on the boys. Kayla sent several pics throughout the night assuring us all was well. We picked them up the next day to find all went well with no issues at all. We asked if Kayla would be willing to watch the boys during our vacation and she agreed. We dropped the boys off for vacation, they were happy to see Kayla again and didn't notice us leave. Once again we got several pics throughout the day and every day we were gone. It helped us feel better seeing the boys having a good time. The boys were happy to see us when we picked them up but kept looking back as we drove away. That is when we knew for sure we made the right decision in having Kayla watch our boys. Kayla is an animal lover and understands that the boys are our kids and let us bring toys beds blankets bowls and everything we wanted to help the boys enjoy their stay. We will be doing sleepovers every so often just to keep the memories close and to let us take trips more often. I cannot say enough about how lucky we were to find Kayla. I assure you, you I have nothing to worry about leaving your fur babies with Kayla. If I could,, I'd leave her 10 stars.”
