About: Hi! My name is Turner, and I am currently a medical student at UAB. While my current living situation doesn't allow me to have a pet of my own, animals have always been an important part of my life. I grew up with two loving dogs who were truly part of the family, and I miss having that daily companionship. Although I don't currently own a pet, I have helped care for my grandparents' small-to-medium mixed breed dog for the past two years whenever they have been away.. Through that experience, I've become comfortable with feeding, walking, playing with, and providing attentive care to ensure pets feel safe and happy while their owners are gone. As a medical student, I am responsible, dependable, and attentive to details. I understand the trust that comes with caring for a beloved pet, and I treat every animal with the same patience, kindness, and respect that I would want for my own. I'm excited for the opportunity to spend time with your pets, provide them with excellent care, and enjoy the companionship that I've missed since having dogs of my own. I look forward to meeting you and your furry family members! I currently work part-time as a medical assistant, with most of my shifts lasting only about five hours. While the specific days I work can vary from week to week, my schedule remains flexible and leaves a significant portion of my day available. This allows me to provide reliable care for your pets, whether that means walks, drop-in visits, or simply spending quality time with them while you're away. When caring for pets, I focus on making sure they feel comfortable, safe, and well cared for while their owners are away. Over the past two years, I have regularly cared for my grandparents' dog, which has included feeding, refreshing water, letting her outside for bathroom breaks, playing with her, monitoring her well-being, and providing companionship throughout the day. I understand that every pet has their own routine and personality, so I make an effort to follow owner instructions closely and maintain the environment they are accustomed to. Whether your pet enjoys playtime, attention, or simply having someone nearby, I am happy to provide the care and companionship they need while you're away.
About: Growing up I had experience with a lot of types of animals, from cats, dogs, sheep, pigs, cows and horses. In my adult life, I have had a lab mix and have had 4 boxers (3 currently still in the home) and a siamese mixed cat. I learned a lot about dog behavior when I got my first boxer through training, and feel like that has helped me with other dogs too. Two of my current boxers are seniors and they take meds so I am familiar with those types of things and my other one is 8 months old so I am currently also in the puppy phases as well. I do have a full-time job. Evenings and weekends are the best time for me on some days. I often work from home later in the week so I can be flexible those days. I am definitely open to chatting about options. I will keep my calendar up to date based on my availability. If your pups are coming to my house, I have a fenced in yard. I do have a pool, but I go outside with all pups for safety reasons. If your dog loves to swim let me know! I also have a quiet neighborhood for a nice leashed walk. I do have a lot of stairs so if you have a senior dog that has mobility issues my house might not be the best option. If they go out on a leash this would be less of an issue b/c I can take them for a walk out front. I crate my puppy when I am gone, and can crate your dog when/if you would like me too. I would like any special instructions about medications/food/behavior etc that are specific to your pets. I would need any specific instructions for your in home stays with your pets.
“Our first week with Katelynn was great! She is very communicative. I’m so thankful she’s been comfortable dealing with the occasional puppy-nado that is Cash. Highly recommend!”
About: As someone who has had pets in the home for as long as I can remember, I know it is important for them to be in a loving, patient, and attentive environment and I thrive in providing environments that are such! I work from home and I’m a SAHM, so pet care fits naturally into my daily routine. I have a flexible schedule, which allows me to give pets plenty of attention, playtime, potty breaks, and supervision throughout the day. I have a large fenced in backyard and only two cats inside the home. I make sure that the pets that I care for have enough space of their own but are also attended to closely.
“Chase was incredible! We received several photos daily and he made us feel comfortable leaving Ellie for a long period. I definitely recommend and we will be using him again! Thank you, Chase!”

Pets are amazing in my world. I have a big fence in yard for fun and a 1 year old bulldog to play with. They are allowed on the furniture. I also have plenty of toys.
About: I have had a dog my entire life since I was 3. I love them very much and take very good care of them. Like they need. I work full time at home taking care of my disabled mother, so I have plenty of time to fully tend to your pets with plenty of play time. I have a fenced in yard, and 2 of my own dogs who are very active but also very caring. There will be lots of play time and dog cuddles available.

About: Growing up we always had dogs in our family. My Experience in pet care is from having my own pets and caring for friends and families.

About: I’ve been an animal lover my whole life and have always grown up with cats, so I’m especially comfortable with them and understand their little personalities and quirks. I truly love spending time with cats and making sure they feel safe, happy, and loved. Over the past 5 years, I’ve also pet sat for friends and family, caring for both cats and dogs. I have experience with feeding, litter box cleaning, walks, playtime, and of course giving lots of attention and cuddles.

“Steven was great with communication during each of his check-ins on our dog. He always took several pictures and was very intentional about bonding with our dog instead of just doing the tasks I had listed for him. We will definitely be using him again.”
About: I’ve been handling animals ever since I was 13, this includes cats, dogs, and even bunnies! (I had one that I let free roam). Cats and Bigger dogs are always a personal favorite but I truly love animals and even considered going into veterinary sciences! I can assure you, your animal is in great hands seeing as I have a cat and two dogs myself! I’m a virtual senior high school student with only two classes and my job only schedules me around two days each week, so I have literally all the time in the world to pet sit and I would love to see cute furry friends whenever I can during that free/down time! Whenever I’m at my Aunt and Uncles for up to a week dog sitting and house sitting for them, I make sure to feed both of their dogs and let them out at least every 1-2 hours especially after feeding them, and they stay outside for about 30mins-1 hour, but i don’t mind walking animals at all either! And of course I like to cuddle up with animals if they allow me too and give them play time as well as a little down time to cuddle up and be content!

Dog parents share their Rover experiences - Trussville
Olivia was absolutely amazing with Whiskey and Selena! From the moment we met her, you could tell she genuinely cares about animals. She kept me updated throughout the day, which gave me so much peace of mind, and my dogs looked so happy and well cared when I got home. She was patient, attentive, and treated them like her own. I wouldn’t hesitate to book with her again and highly recommend her to anyone looking for someone trustworthy and loving to care for their pets!

Tip: You can discuss your specific arrangements with a pet sitter on Rover to what fits you, your pet, and your sitter’s needs. To find what their special skills are, look at the "Skills" and "Pet care experience" sections on their profile.
Key handling is entirely up to you and your sitter to agree on during the Meet & Greet or in the Rover app. Most pet parents in Trussville choose to hand over a spare key or digital fob in person, while others arrange a lockbox or unique access code. Don't forget to discuss key returns as well!
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.

A Meet & Greet is a short introductory meeting between you, your dog, and a sitter. It can take place in person or virtually, although we recommend in-person so that your pet can get to know your sitter 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. Take the time to ask your sitter questions about their skills and expertise, and make sure the fit feels right for everyone. Most pet parents and sitters on Rover welcome Meet & Greets because the process can give confidence and peace of mind for service experiences, especially for longer stays or first-time bookings.
While Rover doesn’t offer traditional subscription services, some sitters offer recurring bookings for services like home visits and dog walking. Recurring services come with their own perks, such as flexibility to modify services (up to five weeks in advance), automatic billing, Rover Card updates, and same-day cancellations.
