“Lauren was a great kitty sitter while I was on vacation! I booked her for 30 min drop in visits to make sure my cats were happy and healthy and had enough food and water while I was gone. She sent pictures of both of my cats during her visits and included a great summary letting me know that their food and water had been stocked and if they had any accidents. I also really appreciated her offering to do a quick meet and greet before I left to show her where I keep all my supplies and familiarize herself with the cats. 10/10 I will definitely rebook with Lauren next time I need a cat sitter!”
About: I have been an avid pet lover, owner, and caregiver my entire life! Throughout my teenage years I worked, and rode, for many top equestrian facilities in Georgia providing weekend barn care such as stall cleaning, feeding, and turnout. I have provided farm/pet sitting for numerous clients, friends, and families over the years, being solely responsible for up to 30 horses, as well as their pets, at one time. Most recently, I have 5 years of experience working in the veterinary industry. I currently have 2 dogs! A 4 year old Golden Retriever and a 7 year old Shepsky who both are my best friends! I currently do work full-time in Birmingham, however I am off every Friday and available on weekends as well! Mondays-Fridays I can provide afternoon and evening pet care services as well. At home, we have a fully fenced in yard and both of our dogs are friendly and love to play! I can also crate your pets if need be, and am comfortable administering oral/topical medications.
“Allison was great! This was her first time watching my boys. She was willing to meet in advance which always puts my mind at ease. Her calm demeanor was a perfect match and she was super communicative while I was away. I will definitely rebook with Allison and would recommend her.”
About: Hello, my name is Alex! Animals have always been an interest of mine (fun fact: my favorite animal is the grizzly bear) and I love caring for them! I've been taking care of my family dogs for the last 5 years and recently adopted my kitty a little over a year ago. Outside of that, I volunteer at my local shelter and have been hired to walk dogs by neighbors as well as dog/ house sit from time to time. I may be new to Rover but I am not new to being dependable and responsible! I am currently a Junior in college and do not work a job during the academic year. My main constraint is classes when school is in session, but other than that I will work diligently to fit into whatever schedule is needed of me! I know how difficult it can be to trust someone else with your pet. This is why I do my absolute best to make sure each fur baby is treated with the same love and care that I would want for my own. My goal is to give them - and you - the absolute best experience possible.
About: I have 5+ years of experience in pet sitting and am a huge animal lover! I have two cats of my own, and have fostered about a dozen kittens and cats from shelters. I love interacting with dogs and cats of any size and personality, and enjoy dog walking as well. I have volunteered at the Humane Society cat house, as well as walk dogs through the Metro Animal Shelter happy hour. I would love to spend time with your pets and am committed to providing them a safe environment, as well as sending updates and pictures while you are away so you know they are in goods hands. I am currently a UAB medical student living in Tuscaloosa. I currently have a flexible schedule in my fourth year, and most of my weekends are completely open as well as some weekdays. I will ensure that my calendar stays updated routinely with availability. I am fully willing to tailor my pet-sitting for you and your pets needs! I am very flexible as far as needs for feeding, walking, etc and check ins at your home. Love going to the Tuscaloosa riverwalk for dog walking! Your pet can also stay in my home if needed! I live in a house with two adult cats so I prefer that your pet be cat-friendly, but I also have an extra bedroom where your furbaby can stay if separation is needed. My house has a walking trail and lake behind it which is perfect for dogs. My cats have been introduced to many foster pets over the years!
About: Animals are an absolute passion for me. With my compassion, caring nature, and familiarity with the basic needs of animals, I have the ability to care for pets perfectly. I have been passionate about animals since I was a child and this love for animals has grown over the years. I own 3 dog and a ferret – all are extremely well taken care of. Therefore, I am able to provide the same amount of love and care for your dogs as I do it for my own pets. My comprehension of the needs of pets, especially those of dogs, is outstanding – from feeding them food with the right nutrients to walking them, I know it all. I hope you will allow me to give your furry friend the best service! I currently work part-time. My availability is in the mornings and evenings during the week. On the weekends I am available at any time! Depending on the week, I may be available more times! I am very mindful of dog’s behavior in the home. I take my time when meeting a new dog and building trust. I also engage in providing positive reinforcement!
“Mallory is amazing. I have a very shy and fearful dog. She’s taken the time to get to know her and works at her speed ensuring that all her needs are met while I’m at work/away. She communicates very well with me. She even came by and picked up my dog while I was at work to keep her safe when there was a tornado watch. She knew my dog was alone and I don’t have family nearby. She was there within minutes to get her. Of course she checked with me first, but Mallory put my dog’s safety first and I can’t thank her enough for that. She’s very considerate and works hard to meet everyone’s needs. Even if she’s busy and I ask her to stop by she’ll figure out a way to fit my request in her schedule. She’s excellent and I highly recommend her.”
About: I have been training and taking care of dogs and cats since I was little. I love playing and caring for all types of my four legged friends. I am currently attending the University of Alabama, so my schedule is very flexible and open to all types of schedules! My schedule is completely open in summer. Please reach out for any questions! I have a big yard with two friendly outdoor labs. I also live on the lake if your dog likes to swim. Indoors, I have two cats that do not mind dogs or other cats.
About: Ive always lived with either dogs, cats, fish, or reptiles. Animals have always been apart of my life and they will continue to be so. I work full time during the week but I make my own schedule so I am flexible. I am primarily available for Friday- Sunday pet care. I own a german shepherd Harley who is 5 and has to have topical drops and medicine given orally daily. So I am decently experienced in giving medication and will treat you pet as my own while taking care of them.
“We came back as a repeat client but with an additional pet and Alex was great yet again! We had a tornado scare while we were traveling and she went the extra mile to ensure our cats’ safety. We would use her again in a heartbeat!”
About: I’ve taken car of cats and dogs before. I have a dog at home that I love. I enjoy playing with animals and taking care of them! I have a flexible schedule with lots of free time.

Animals make me happy so I love spending time with any animal!

I am a full time student so I have classes everyday but feel free to reach out and we can work with scheduling! I’m pretty flexible and would love to move things around to help! I would love to do various things. Like running, walks, training! If I were to go to the owners home it’s very important that I am given specific instructions just so I know I am prepared and ready!
About: Owning my dog, Enzo, since he was a small puppy, I had lots of experience training him to be the well behaved dog he is today. Learning the right way to walk specific breeds has also been important to me, especially in walking other dogs, as each breed of dog exerts energy in different forms. Being able to specialize in this and walk each dog so he or she is fit for a nice nap afterwards has been extremely gratifying. I currently take 15 credit hours at school, but outside of these 15 hours from Monday to Thursday, my availability is fully dedicated to taking care of your pet. Respecting my client's home is absolutely paramount. When it comes to taking care of their pet inside of their home, I am flexible to assist them in any way possible. For example, if my client would like their dog bathed, I would be sure to maintain a clean environment that when I leave looks exactly how it looked before I entered. Furthermore, I would use only products they specifically ask me to use on their dog.
