“After I had a pet sitter not show up for a meet and greet, I reached out to Chelsea, who took on boarding my dog with less than 1 week’s notice. She was very kind and understanding about the situation and was happy to board my dog for a long weekend. This was my first time using a Rover pet sitter for boarding so I was a bit nervous, but Chelsea exceeded my expectations. I received multiple updates and pictures of my dog every day. It put my mind at ease to see him comfortable while I was away, and Chelsea was very attentive to his arthritis and allergies. She took great care of my dog. Chelsea was also quick to respond to my messages on Rover and just a great person to work with. I would recommend Chelsea to any of my friends, 10/10 experience”
“I can’t say enough great things about Katie and her family. She was communicative and sent me pictures throughout our fur babes stay. I felt very at ease and will definitely be using her again!”
“Our girl had a great time. She was exhausted from the playing and running around with the others. Pedro will be my first choice every time. He has the perfect place for fun and a safe space.”
“Absolutely grateful for the care you provided to my pup today. You treated him like family. I highly recommend and would certainly come back as needed!! Thank you again!”
“Danielle was so great!! She sent pictures every day so I wouldn’t have to worry about my pupper and always updated me when he was getting meals and how his day was going. We will definitely be using her every time we need a sitter.”
“I left my two dogs with Savannah for a long weekend and they both came back happy and tired from a weekend of playing. She took great care of them, I would absolutely recommend Savannah.”
“Sage did a great job with our puppy! He has a lot of energy and has a mischievous personality but Sage had patience and loved him like her own. I was sent daily pictures and updated on his shenanigans on a regular basis. We will definitely be repeat customers!”
“Cassidy took care of our big ol’ baby like he was one of her own. She sent multiple pictures and updates everyday and we will definitely use her as a sitter when we go out of town again! Kylo loved being in her home.”
About: What sets me apart from other sitters is my dedication to providing personalized care for each dog. I have extensive experience in training puppies, ensuring they develop good habits early on. Additionally, I specialize in senior dog care, offering gentle and attentive support for older pets. My approach is all about understanding each dog's unique needs and making sure they feel coming and loved while you're away. Pet care is a big part of my daily routine. I make sure to set aside time every day for feeding, walking, and playing with my furry friends. It's essential to me to prioritize their well-being and happiness, so I always make sure they get the attention and care they need. Whether it's a quick walk in the morning or some playtime in the evening, I love being there for them and making sure they feel loved and cared for. When I'm caring for pets in my own home, I make sure to create a safe and comfy environment. I have designated spaces for them to sleep, play, and eat. I keep a close eye on them and make sure they get plenty of exercise and love. At a client's home, I stick to the pet's regular routine as much as possible. I follow any specific instructions the owner gives me to make sure their pet feels comfortable and secure. Whether it's feeding schedules, medication, or favorite toys, I make sure to keep everything consistent so the pet feels right at home.
“Kimberly has a very clean and welcoming home. She also has a small, friendly dog, along with cats and chickens, and it is clear she is truly an animal lover. She was very attentive to Lulu and made me feel comfortable leaving my fur baby in her care. Kimberly mentioned that Lulu was her first Rover sit, but honestly, it felt like she had been doing this for a while. She sent photos and videos, provided reassurance, and kept me updated throughout Lulu’s stay. I highly recommend Kimberly! I left in a rush because I did not account for the time zone change while heading back home, but I wanted to make sure she knew how much I appreciated her watching Lulu.”
“Rachel and her family were a perfect fit for Caddy! She was very responsive and flexible to make sure Caddy was comfortable to all her needs. If you are in the Fort Novosel area I highly recommend booking with her.”
“Stephen and his family were great dog sitters for Sox! He got a walk and lots of love while we were gone. We received several photos of him during his stay. Would book with them again!”
“Hannah took amazing care of Bella and treated her like one of their own. I received daily updates along with pictures, which gave me so much peace of mind while I was away. It could tell Bella was happy and comfortable. The communication was excellent, and I highly recommend Hannah.”
About: I’m excited to apply what I’ve learned about my pets to others. Every pet has their own personality I want to get to know them. Pet car fits perfectly into my schedule as I complete college online and am home majority of the day they always have my undivided attention.

He treats other dogs with respect and knows to set a boundary if they want to play or not.

We are so glad we connected with her through Rover and will definitely use her again. Our dog really likes her!”
“Needed someone to watch my little furbaby over the holidays last minute and Brynna was very quick to respond! She was very kind and sent updates and pictures over the three day stay! Nyla seemed very happy and energetic at pick up so I was satisfied. This was my first Rover experience and I wouldn’t hesitate to book with Brynna again ? Thank you again!”

“Gus loves staying with Chelsea, and loves playing with her dog Bandit! They take care of him like family and I always have peace of mind knowing he is safe and happy while visiting. Thank you, Chelsea 🥰”
About: I love my pets so much and I love to see them with other pets (my spouse won’t let me get anymore) so yes this is the meeting ground for that :). Your kids are my kids and I will love them so much like my own :)) I keep my pets on a schedule and know how to treat them if they give signs of any sickness I have gone through it and know all the remedies to help. I love playing with my fur babies and having them fur baby friends. I also like to take my fur babies on walks even my cats in a cat backpack so they can see the world. My home has a pet room near a window so they can see outside (they love this) and they can sleep by the window on a comfortable bed (SPOILED). I keep toys in their room and I also have a cat tree for my catsss

“We where very pleased with Christina.... I would recommend Christina to anyone needing sitter service. I am a disabled veteran and this is the first time I have allowed anyone to watch Charlie. So retired and disabled veteran Christina is who you trust to care for your dog or cat with 100% confidence!!!!!!!!”
“First time for Norah away from home and Sage handled her well. Definitely will use her again. I feel comfortable leaving her with Sage.it was nice to get updates on her stay and helped us worry less about our pup. I’ sure she will grow more comfortable with her next few visits. We will definitely use Sage again and hope to make this a regular thing every few weeks. Thanks Sage!”
“My dogs had a blast at Day Care with Mr. Pedro. We live in an apartment for the time being, and I thought it would benefit the dogs to have somewhere to run around freely and unleashed. They looked like much happier dogs! His fenced yard—and being able to provide that for my dogs—is great and will help us get through this period before we transition into our new city and home next year, should his services continue. Thank you for opening up your home to my dogs, Mr. Pedro. We’re looking forward to doing business with you again!”
“Kali is a warm, kind person and her love of dogs is plainly visible. Rue loved her visit and came home exhausted and happy. She can be fearful of other dogs but took to Keith right away. The pair had a busy day of playing and napping and then playing again. I am hoping Rue can go back and visit again.”
“Amazing dog sitters! Loved my fur baby (Siberia Husky) Chase as their own. Sent me many pictures and showed him a lot of love and affection. Chase is only 3yrs young so they took him for MANY walks and provided awesome sunbathing on the deck. Allowed my baby to play with their beautiful fur baby as well. Great sitters and communication was awesome.”
“Teresa and her husband were so great with my sweet anxious Sully. He was so calm and happy when I picked him up, and that’s a rarity. I will absolutely use them again when I am in town. Thank you!”

About: I have lots of experience with horses, cows, dogs (including working k9s), cats, etc. Horses, working k9s, and cats are my favorites to work with. I have 3 working dogs, performance horses so i understand their special requirements. Im a stay at home mom so I have plenty of time to take care of pets or run to go check in on ones that have to stay in your home. I am very thorough with directions and check them a few times before and after completing to make sure that I didnt miss a single thing.
About: Hii, I’m currently a service member but also an animal lover. I come from a family that’s trained K9s for the police academy in Cuba. I have trained and baby sat all types of fur babies before joining the military and currently still am. I grew up with so many different breeds of dogs. I have also foster dogs while in the military and it was a joy finding their forever home. As of right now I am available weekdays after 1300 but can adjust my availability if I’m given 24 hour heads up. Available all day during the weekends. I live on the Army base in Fort Novosel. I have a spacious house and back yard that is fenced in. I have a Griffon mutt named Kobe and he’s only 2 yrs old. He’s the most friendliest and welcoming pup. He good with children, small dogs and big dogs. He loves cuddles and sharing his toys.
About: Hello there and welcome to my Rover site! Thanks for taking a look and I'm hoping to be able to be your animal's friend during the time you're away. I have been with dogs since I was a baby as well as taking care of them since I was 12, when I got my own first German Shepherd. Been there for many animals from puppies to senior and everywhere in between. Many friends, family members and neighbors have come to me to watch their babies while gone, to check in on them or take them on walks. I have dealt with most breeds and understand basic needs, medical concerns and safety of everyone. I'm a retired veteran from the US Army and a full time stay at home mom. My day to day is getting kids ready for school, drop off, pick up and homework time. In between all that, Im doing chores or watching some episodes of my favorite shows, so I will have plenty of time to be with your pet. My kids are 5 and 7, so most of the day they are at school. When they are home they help out with the animals and give them even more attention and love. John, my husband, works full time. With our schedule, if there is ever a time I need to step out, he is always here to help. I always prefer a meet and greet before we set up anything so the animal can acknowledge who I am or where they will be staying, even when doing drop ins. This makes the transition alot easier on both sides. We stick to one client at a time to keep the house easier to maintain and also for the safety of your pet and mine, as well as the family. We have a large fenced in yard to keep your pet safe but have plenty of room to run and play. We also have a crate for crate training or sleeping if you so prefer. We allow pets on the furniture unless you say otherwise. We will always follow by the owner's rules and ways of doing things in our home.
About: Hi! I’m a lifelong animal lover and experienced pet caregiver who treats every pet like family. I’ve owned dogs my entire life and currently have a high-energy Husky named Luca and a sweet senior Border Collie mix named Zoey. Living with dogs at different life stages has made me comfortable caring for pets with all kinds of personalities, energy levels, and needs. My professional experience began at a veterinary clinic before I spent four years working as a dog bather, where I learned how to safely handle dogs of all breeds, sizes, and temperaments. As an elementary school teacher, I’ve also developed the patience, reliability, and communication skills that help both pets and their owners feel comfortable and confident. Whether your pet is staying in my home, needs a drop-in visit, or is joining me for a walk, I’ll tailor my care to fit their individual routine and personality. My dogs are friendly and well-socialized, and Luca especially loves making new friends! We enjoy neighborhood walks, and with your permission, I’m happy to take your dog to a local park for extra exercise and enrichment. I also have experience caring for cats, so your feline family members are welcome too. I believe communication is just as important as great pet care. During every booking, I’ll keep you updated with photos and messages so you can relax knowing exactly how your pet is doing. My goal is simple: I want you to feel completely at ease while you’re away, knowing your pet is safe, loved, and treated like one of my own. As a teacher on summer break, I have a very flexible schedule and can dedicate plenty of time and attention to your pet. Whether your pet needs walks, playtime, potty breaks, or companionship, I can easily fit their routine into my day. I am committed to providing reliable care and keeping you updated while you are away. Your pet’s safety and comfort are my top priorities. I always take the time to learn each pet’s routine, personality, and any special needs before providing care. I follow all owner instructions carefully and make sure pets have plenty of attention, exercise, fresh water, and a safe environment. I believe clear communication is important, so I will provide regular updates and photos to give you peace of mind while you’re away.

About: I've taken care of many animals in my past. I started around 13. I started with three huskys and one toy poddle so I am good with large and small breeds. I am currently working at a Mother's morning out daycare. I would love to help out with anyone who needs dog,cat, or any animal services!

About: Hi! I'm now available after a short hiatus. (Hence the gaps in the reviews) Recently married, my name is now Brittney Tyson Sporman. I have been caring for all sorts of animals for the majority of my life. I am owner to three wonderful doggos, four charismatic kitties, a grumpy hedgie (Nugget), and a little dinosaur (gecko) named Mochi. Since I developed such a love and joy for animal caregiving it seemed only right to pursue a career in the veterinary field. I started off as a kennel tech at my local humane society which eventually lead to me managing the cat section of the shelter. This was when I realized I am first and foremost a crazy cat lady. I gained experience in learning how to evaluate and treat illness as well as properly care for felines and canines. Once I mastered the basics of venipuncture, medication administration, and vaccines I had enough experience to get a job at a local veterinary clinic. There I acted as a receptionist, client care coordinator, and veterinary assistant. I counseled clients regarding nutrition, behavioral problems, obesity, parasite problems, geriatric, flea problems, pre- and post-operative care, treatment instructions, etc. as well as assisting veterinarians and technicians with pets and diagnostics as necessary. After doing this for a few years I became familiar with veterinary medical terminology and procedures, how to perform wellness examinations, and how to recognize significant changes in health and mentation. This led to me being able to get a job at Auburn University College of Veterinary Medicine. I worked as an unlicensed veterinary technician in immediate and intensive care in Auburn’s emergency and critical care department for most of my career before going back to general practice. After working in general practice for one year I realized my passion was in emergency medicine and I started working at an emergency clinic as an overnight ICU nurse. After my grandmother got diagnosed with cancer I decided to take a step back from full time veterinary medicine as I was facing compassion fatigue and burn out. That’s when I decided not to let my 10+ years of experience go to waste and I started my “business”, Lemon’s Aid. "Lemon's Aid" was founded in honor of my special needs puppy, Lemon. It is my hope and ambition at Lemon's Aid to provide exceptional healthcare and pet sitting experiences for your pets with skilled nursing treatments, specialty care, convenient home-based visits, as well as home to hospital transportation. Nursing house calls and in home sitting help alleviate the stress and anxiety that pets, and their families can experience during traditional vet clinic or boarding facility visits. This business helps bring in income as well as gives me the flexibility needed to care for my family. I am veterinary CPR certified and have experience performing CPR on canines and felines. I also have completed other programs in the veterinary field including my Fear Free Certification in small animals and exotics as well as The AAFP's Cat Friendly Practice program. I have quit my full time job in order to assist my grandmother who is recovering from surgery and cancer which leaves me with a very open schedule I am not currently equipped to house animals in my home as I have my own mini zoo (lol). While my fiancé stays home to care for my kiddos I can help take care of yours in the comfort of your own home from check in visits, walks, and/or overnight stays in your home.
About: Hi, my name is Cat. I've been a lifelong Dog Mom and animal lover. I love how pets all have their own unique personalities. I know firsthand how much joy that they bring to our lives. I definitely consider mine to be part of the family. I have a Shiba Inu named Amaya who's 13. I'm comfortable with any breed/ages of dogs. I am competent in Puppy and Senior care. I can administer meds and reinforce training. I love taking long walks and engaging in play. I make organic dog treats for my pup and she loves them. I'll bring the treats. I'm looking to do this full-time. If you do something you love you'll never work a day in your life. I know as a working Mom how hard it is to find quality care for our dogs. I'm available M-F for all services and I'm available on the weekends to do at home care. So relax, book that vacation. I've got you. I was a Pet Sitter for my neighbors for over 10 years when they went out of town for events. I know this can be stressful for animals. I'll check on your pups, give fresh water and food per your instructions, clean up any accidents and give them some love and quality play time.

“After I had a pet sitter not show up for a meet and greet, I reached out to Chelsea, who took on boarding my dog with less than 1 week’s notice. She was very kind and understanding about the situation and was happy to board my dog for a long weekend. This was my first time using a Rover pet sitter for boarding so I was a bit nervous, but Chelsea exceeded my expectations. I received multiple updates and pictures of my dog every day. It put my mind at ease to see him comfortable while I was away, and Chelsea was very attentive to his arthritis and allergies. She took great care of my dog. Chelsea was also quick to respond to my messages on Rover and just a great person to work with. I would recommend Chelsea to any of my friends, 10/10 experience”

Whether it's a quick walk in the morning or some playtime in the evening, I love being there for them and making sure they feel loved and cared for. When I'm caring for pets in my own home, I make sure to create a safe and comfy environment. I have designated spaces for them to sleep, play, and eat. I keep a close eye on them and make sure they get plenty of exercise and love. At a client's home, I stick to the pet's regular routine as much as possible. I follow any specific instructions the owner gives me to make sure their pet feels comfortable and secure. Whether it's feeding schedules, medication, or favorite toys, I make sure to keep everything consistent so the pet feels right at home.
“Kimberly has a very clean and welcoming home. She also has a small, friendly dog, along with cats and chickens, and it is clear she is truly an animal lover. She was very attentive to Lulu and made me feel comfortable leaving my fur baby in her care. Kimberly mentioned that Lulu was her first Rover sit, but honestly, it felt like she had been doing this for a while. She sent photos and videos, provided reassurance, and kept me updated throughout Lulu’s stay. I highly recommend Kimberly! I left in a rush because I did not account for the time zone change while heading back home, but I wanted to make sure she knew how much I appreciated her watching Lulu.”
“Rachel and her family were a perfect fit for Caddy! She was very responsive and flexible to make sure Caddy was comfortable to all her needs. If you are in the Fort Novosel area I highly recommend booking with her.”
“Stephen and his family were great dog sitters for Sox! He got a walk and lots of love while we were gone. We received several photos of him during his stay. Would book with them again!”
“Hannah took amazing care of Bella and treated her like one of their own. I received daily updates along with pictures, which gave me so much peace of mind while I was away. It could tell Bella was happy and comfortable. The communication was excellent, and I highly recommend Hannah.”
About: I’m excited to apply what I’ve learned about my pets to others. Every pet has their own personality I want to get to know them. Pet car fits perfectly into my schedule as I complete college online and am home majority of the day they always have my undivided attention. I have a semi fenced yard but so much for them to run in the back. I have a fur baby of my own who loves to play, he’s gentle and sweet. He treats other dogs with respect and knows to set a boundary if they want to play or not.
“Elimarliz was super sweet. Received an update everyday and was just very grateful and appreciative of Elimarliz watching our 5 month old puppy! Definitely will use again and recommend booking with!”
“Needed someone to watch my little furbaby over the holidays last minute and Brynna was very quick to respond! She was very kind and sent updates and pictures over the three day stay! Nyla seemed very happy and energetic at pick up so I was satisfied. This was my first Rover experience and I wouldn’t hesitate to book with Brynna again ? Thank you again!”
“Peyton is the sweetest! She kept in contact with me and sent me plenty of photos of Phoebe. I felt very comfortable leaving my fur baby with her. I highly recommend her and she will be my go to sitter from now on!”
About: Dogs have been a part of my life for as long as I can remember, and caring for them has always been second nature. Growing up with family dogs taught me the importance of patience, consistency, and providing a safe, loving environment where every dog feels at home. Today, I’m the proud owner of a friendly, social 1.5-year-old Goldendoodle who loves making new friends. My goal is to open my home to dogs who will enjoy companionship, supervised playtime, and plenty of love and attention while their families are away. I understand that every dog has a unique personality and routine, so I strive to provide personalized care that keeps them comfortable, happy, and stress-free. Whether your pup enjoys playing, relaxing, or simply getting extra belly rubs, I’ll treat them like they’re part of my own family. I have a consistent schedule that allows me to provide reliable care and attention to your dog. Monday–Friday * I work from approximately 9:00 AM to 2:00–3:00 PM. * Before leaving, I’ll make sure your dog has gone outside, has fresh water, and is settled comfortably in their crate (if they are crate trained and that’s part of their normal routine). * As soon as I return home, your dog will head outside for a potty break, exercise, playtime, and lots of attention for the rest of the afternoon and evening. Weekends & Holidays * I’m home and available throughout the day. * I typically start my mornings around 8:00 AM, allowing for early potty breaks, breakfast, walks, and playtime. * Weekends are all about keeping your dog active, comfortable, and feeling like part of the family, with plenty of supervised play, enrichment, and relaxation. Your dog’s safety, comfort, and happiness are my top priorities. My home features a fully fenced backyard where dogs can safely run, play, and explore. During Alabama’s warmer months, I also set up a small splash pool so pups can cool off and have a little extra fun. Just outside my townhome is a ¼-mile walking track, where my Goldendoodle and I enjoy daily walks. We average at least 1.5 miles every day, giving dogs plenty of exercise, mental stimulation, and opportunities to explore at their own pace.
“Chris was such a savior for us when our travel plans were derailed by flight delays! He sent lots of pictures of our golden Squid having the best time and we felt assured he was in capable hands! We are so grateful.”
