“I absolutely loved Emily for the i day I had her, unexpectedly I had a son come home from out of town working who had got into a disagreement with his girlfriend and had been drinking who just came by not knowing I was out of town to stay the evening and she understandably didn’t feel comfortable completing the contract and couldn’t iboard Lucy bc she has cats. Piecing together alternate drop ins for the remaining 3 days did not even compare to her and was very disappointed to not complete the contract as she was very efficient, kind, easy to work with sent pictures communicated exceptionally well and knew I had nothing to worry about and felt complete at peace and assured my dog was in the greatest of hands. In light of the unexpected situation she thankfully didn’t terminate me on Rover and effect my account standing and was understanding of the unexpected circumstances and understandably not feeling comfortable staying overnight. I’m new to Rover and she was my first experience and will say inspite of the early termination and lost payment the experience I did have with Emily made it a great. I would recommend if new to Rover setting up contingency plans and or making sure if situations arise unexpected drop in services are ok as alternative to in house so you don’t have to double pay for sitters. In light of it all Emily was very understanding communicated well and bc of how impressed I was with the communication and the 1 day of sitter care I bought her a gift back from my vacation as a thank you for the pictures and constant reassurance Lucy was in good hands. I had to meet up with her to give her some things that she left at the house and was gracious and understanding of the unexpected circumstance and apologized for not completing the contract and feeling comfortable with boarding staying or changing to drop in. Thankfully my sister and friend were able to come by once a day and it eased the extreme stress of not having a sitter and not even anticipating making back up plans but as I stated was a learning curve with utilizing the Rover app. I would use Rover again but just make sure to discuss contingency plans and flexibility in case of unexpected circumstances.. I would also recommend Emily highly she was a great sitter but just make sure to discuss contingency plans for unexpected events or have a back up plan.”

About: I’ve always loved animals and originally wanted to become a veterinarian growing up. Now, as a pre-nursing student at AU, I still love having the opportunity to care for others — especially animals. I grew up with a childhood dog that I was completely inseparable from. Even when I was little, I helped feed her, walk her, play with her, and even helped with training. Those experiences are a huge part of why I love pet care so much today. My family now has two dogs that we got while I was in high school, and I love visiting them every chance I get. I’m definitely the type of person who immediately gravitates toward the dog at any social gathering. I’ve been pet sitting and dog walking for friends, family, and neighbors since I was around 10 years old, and even more frequently once I started driving at 16. I’m very attentive to each pet’s individual needs, whether that means going on runs with high-energy dogs or taking slower walks and giving extra comfort and attention to more relaxed pets. My goal is always to make pets feel safe, happy, and so loved while their owners are away. I also worked on a ranch last summer where I cared for dogs, cats, horses, donkeys, chickens, and ducks, which gave me even more hands-on experience with a wide variety of animals and personalities. Although I didn’t grow up with cats, I’ve done plenty of cat sitting over the years and absolutely love them as well. I know every cat is different, and I’m always patient and attentive to their routines and comfort level. Pet care fits very naturally into my daily routine. I work a 9–5 job during the week, but I have an hour lunch break that gives me flexibility for walks, check-ins, or midday care. I also usually go on a run in the mornings and take walks after work or after dinner, so I’m very used to staying active and would love bringing a dog along if they enjoy extra exercise. On weekends, I’m available all day and have a much more flexible schedule for walks, drop-ins, playtime, or overnight care. I live in a two-level apartment/townhouse with plenty of space for pets to be comfortable and move around. There’s grass right outside for easy bathroom breaks and walks, plus a balcony and a dog park within my apartment complex for extra exercise and playtime. I keep a clean, safe, and calm environment and always make sure pets are supervised, comfortable, and sticking to their normal routines as much as possible. When caring for pets in a client’s home, I’m very respectful of both the home and the pet’s routine. I know consistency is important for animals, so I always try to keep them comfortable by following feeding schedules, walk routines, and any specific instructions closely.

“Very friendly, professional and punctual.She went above and beyond. Felt at ease knowing she was watching my pups. Will definitely be contacting her again when I travel. My dogs responded to her well. Definitely recommend!”

About: hello, i’m lee, and i’ve been a full time pet sitter since august 2021. my upbringing was full of animals to care for and love on, and as my childhood dog got older, i learned to care for senior puppies. caring for animals requires patience and a level of understanding that is different from communicating with other people. that is why i believe in my heart that bonding with an animal is one of the most rewarding experiences of our lifetimes. i live in an apartment with myself and my partner, but my apartment has room for them to roam or relax. there’s grass and spaces for me to walk your pet or take them out for potty breaks as well. i live near a golf course, and if your baby loves going on long walks, the course is perfect for getting rid of some energy. i am available full time for services! whenever i am not out of town visiting family, your pet will feel like family in my home. i can easily follow given instructions, and your pet will be receiving my full attention while in my care. you’ll also be getting once or twice daily pictures and updates with your pet. my aim is to give you peace of mind that your baby is safe and well taken care of under my care and alleviate your worries.

About: With over 10 years of experience in dog sitting and house sitting, I have cared for just about every breed, size, and age of dog and cat. I am comfortable with special needs pets and administering medications, always making sure each animal receives attentive, loving, and reliable care. I take pride in creating a calm, safe environment so pets feel comfortable while their owners are away. Your pet’s comfort and routine come first with me. I have a flexible schedule, so I’m available for early mornings, late nights, and everything in between. I make sure pets get consistent attention and care, and I’m always happy to follow whatever schedule works best for them. I treat every home as a place of value and trust, caring for it with respect and attention as I carry out my work. I aim to leave each space exactly as I found it, while keeping pets safe and comfortable at all times.

About: I love all animals and I have a very flexible schedule at the moment because I am full time studying for my board exams! I have been dog sitting my whole life, and it’s something that I absolutely love to do! I am here in Auburn for medical school and am originally from Orlando, FL. I am currently studying full time for my board exams for medical school so I am home all day! I can stay home with your pets throughout the day and take them for walks at any time! Since I have roommates, I will not be able to care for your pets in my home but safety is my number one priority in your home! I am very detailed oriented and attentive, so your pets will not get into any trouble on my watch!!

“Alicia was wondering. Came to visit prior to watching our fur baby Emerson and this past weekend was the first time we have ever left him. He will be 5 July 13th. She frequently sent pictures to show how comfortable he was and keep us updated on their day! Emerson appeared to be extremely comfortable and happy! He didn’t even bark “YELL” at us when we got home like he does when we have to go to run errands. We have another vacation planed in July for a whole week and we feel extremely comfortable her house sitting again. Kudos to Alisha!”

“They were fantastic! They took care of our baby who is a special-needs dog and made sure he was taking care of and he fell in love with them! In fact, it seems like he wanted to keep them and not us! Lol thank you so much! That’s what we wanted; someone to love our baby like we love on him.”

About: What sets me apart from other sitters is my extensive veterinary background and hands-on experience. I’ve worked in the veterinary field for over 8 years, including experience as both a small animal and equine veterinary technician. This gives me a strong understanding of animal behavior, health, and safety, as well as the ability to recognize early signs of illness or distress. I’m comfortable caring for puppies, senior pets, and animals with special needs, including administering medications and following detailed care instructions. My veterinary experience allows me to provide a higher level of care, peace of mind, and professionalism, ensuring pets are not only loved but also closely monitored for their overall well-being. Pet care fits into my routine in a structured and manageable way. I work a weekly job, but I’m able to plan my schedule so I can consistently meet all pet care needs. On a daily basis, I make time for feeding, walks, playtime, and check-ins, and I adjust my routine as needed to ensure pets receive proper attention and care. Weekly tasks like cleaning, extended exercise, and any special care are also built into my schedule. Overall, pet care fits smoothly into my routine and is something I prioritize alongside my work responsibilities. I provide attentive, reliable care tailored to each pet’s specific needs, whether in my home or in a client’s home. Care includes feeding according to instructions, refreshing water, administering basic medications if needed, and maintaining a clean and safe environment. I ensure pets get appropriate exercise, walks, playtime, and mental stimulation, while also giving them affection and companionship. In a client’s home, I respect their routine and home rules, provide updates as requested, and make sure pets feel comfortable and secure in their familiar environment. My goal is always to keep pets happy, healthy, and stress-free while their owners are away.

About: I have always loved animals. I started walking my neighbors dog when I was 15. I have dog sat for many ranging from family, friends, neighbors, and mutuals. I am a recent Auburn grad and do not currently have a full time job. Not many jobs offer me a flexible schedule like this does and I am trying to save money and keep my self busy post-grad. I am always available unless otherwise noted on my calendar. I do not have a dog in Auburn, only when I travel to Foley to stay with family is there a dog in the house. I will abide by the owners preferences but I don’t promise I won’t fall in love with your dog. I love all shapes and sizes of dogs and will take care of them as they are my own. I will give your dog as much attention as he or she wants.

“Samantha was awesome with Finn! She was so easy to work with- and provided lots of updates and pictures throughout. Would definitely use her again to watch my dog.”
