About: I grew up on a farm. My mom raised puppies and kittens. Growing up I lived with at least eight dogs and eight cats at a time (in a small trailer). Now I live in a small house with room outside to walk a dog-- and can even take them to a trail or creek if you wish. I am not scared of aggressive animals. Some pets need more attention than others! I am a house cleaner from 7:30AM to about 11AM-3PM (it depends on the houses). However, I can make time to come home in between work for your pet. I am free all day on weekends. I have a small grass field, a safe neighborhood, and a cozy home. I make sure your pet always has water and food (unless otherwise specified) and attention.
About: Hi! I am a 24 year old in Tuscaloosa and I would love to care for your pet! I have experience with both big and small dogs along with cats. I spent over a year working at TROT doing equine-assisted therapy and helping care for the horses on their property. I am comfortable administering medicine as I have had a diabetic dog and currently have a special-needs dog myself. I have also shadowed in a veterinarian's office for six months and have volunteered in animal shelters since middle school. I work six hours a day, but my hours are flexible so I am able to work around your pet needs. I have my own dog and cat to care for, but my flexible schedule allows me to easily work with your pets schedule. I can not care for pets in my home as I have my own dog-reactive dog, but cats can be kept in my second bedroom as both my dog and cat have had experience with having foster cats through the apartment.

Cats and dogs of all breeds, ages, and sizes - I have had the opportunity to take care of these animals with all the love! As a cat and dog owner myself, I know first-hand what it is like to put trust into someone when you need help or have to leave.. it's scary! That is why I strive to provide the service you would do yourself if you were home, send lots of photos, give lots of snuggles, and love on your pets as my own! I am a full-time PhD Student and Instructor at The University of Alabama, but I have quite the flexible schedule. If you need a service, I will make it work to fulfill you and your pets' needs!

I’m patient, reliable, and always make sure pets feel safe, comfortable, and cared for while their owners are away.

“First time using rover, and I didnt have to worry about my pups at all while I was gone. She took great care of my them! She sent updates and photos and let me know of anything concerning, which I appreciate. She even dripped my faucets while I was gone, and I didnt even ask or think about that! I try not to leave my pups home alone, but if I ever have to, I'd happily trust her again! Thanks Haven!”

Cat parents share their Rover experiences - Tuscaloosa
Megan was wonderful with our cat Drake while we were away! She not only took great care feeding him she also played with him each day. She sent us such cute pictures of them playing every day! The only downside is I’m afraid he may be disappointed it’s us that comes home each day now and not her😂 We will definitely be getting her to come take care of him next time we are out of town.
Anna was very sweet and patient with our three animals. One dog was a bit hesitant the first day but Anna was incredibly patient and got the dog to love her. She stayed to play with the dogs even if it went over the 30 mins that we paid for. The pictures she sent were adorable and we will definitely use her for our next trip.
Leah did such an amazing job watching out two cats while we were out of town! She was always on time, followed our instructions perfectly, and went above and beyond to make sure our boys were well taken care of! As someone who worries about leaving my pets at home alone, Leah’s daily updates were exactly what I needed for peace of mind. I would 100% recommend her for anyone looking for a great pet sitter!

Cat sitters on Rover care for your cats’ needs and can spend quality time with them, including activities like feeding, playing, and refreshing their water and litter boxes. Depending on your arrangement, you can schedule as many visits per day as your cat needs or find a sitter who can stay at your house overnight. Some sitters also board cats in their home.
House sitting can be ideal for cats who need socialization or care that lasts longer than a few hours. Your cat stays in their own home, on their own schedule, with care based on what you and your sitter agree on together.
Many pet parents provide a spare key or arrange a lockbox. You can also exchange keys during the Meet & Greet and show your walker how to use digital fobs or personalized codes. It helps to arrange access to your home, from spare keys to concierge introductions, before pet care begins.
If you live in an apartment or condo, don’t forget to discuss details like buzzer access, codes, or elevator etiquette. These details can help a pet sitter feel more comfortable going in and out of your building.
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 .
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 , which provides up to $25,000 in eligible veterinary care reimbursement.
A Meet & Greet is a casual meeting to vet potential sitters and communicate care needs for peace of mind before a booking begins. Only sitters who have never booked with you before can schedule a Meet & Greet on Rover; however, you are welcome to coordinate one in Rover messages with sitters you have previously booked. 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. Take the time to ask your sitter questions about their skills and expertise, and make sure the fit feels right for everyone. 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 .

Same-day cancellations for recurring services, which include walks, drop-ins, and day care, follow the full refund policy. Otherwise, for pet boarding and house sitting, if you cancel after 12 pm on the applicable cancellation deadline, you’ll receive a 50% refund for the first seven days of the booking and a 100% refund for any remaining days.
If your sitter needs to cancel within seven days of the booking's start date, then our reservation protection will kick in. This means you will get a full refund and our support team will work with you to find a replacement sitter.
