About: I have always had a fur baby in my life. My husband and I recently lost both of our dogs and cat. I love walking, playing, snuggling and all other activities with pups. I will work with you on what your needs are for your fur family member while you are away. My ultimate goal is to have my own full time doggie care. I live in a neighborhood that’s great for walking or going to dog park at Sokol Park. I provide pickup and drop-off within a 10 miles. Above all, I will treat your pet like a member of my family & love on them while you’re away. I’m a PreK teacher so I’m free during the summer and most holidays. Even during the school year I am still able to stay at a client’s house if pet can be let alone during the day. My husband works from home so your pet will have someone with them during the day. However, your pet must not be very needy so that it doesn’t interfere with his work. He does take several breaks and your pet will have availability to be outside several times a day. I enjoy sitting outside enjoying the sunshine or going for walks is also fun activities for mine. We keep a large bed for your pet, toys, and a few treats. I love taking “paw” trips to the park or pet store. I am open to most anything your dog(s) needs.

I am a full-time student at the University of Alabama, but I have a flexible schedule that allows me to care for pets throughout the week. I’m available for walks, feeding, playtime, and check-ins for both dogs and cats. I always make sure pets get the attention and care they need while their owners are away.

Whether it’s walks for dogs or playtime and litter care for cats, I’m responsible, attentive, and treat every pet like my own.
“Danielle was in every sense excellent. She was far more capable than myself of watching these guys and was so chilled out during their entire stay as if to say, “don’t worry, i’ve got it.” My guys, Robby and Zoe, would exceedingly recommend that you book her at once. Thank you.”
About: Over the past six years, I have provided reliable, dedicated care for dogs of various sizes and needs, including managing multi-day house sittings and extended week-long stays. Most recently, I successfully provided a private, two-week boarding experience for a 50-pound dog, handling all daily feeding, exercise, and companionship routines flawlessly. I am a highly organized, detailed, and punctual person, meaning I prioritize consistency, safety, and communication. Whether your pup needs active playtime, strict medication schedules, or just a comfortable place to lounge, I am motivated to assist and support your family by providing top-tier care. As a dedicated college student, my routine is highly organized and structured, allowing me to easily fit premium pet care into my daily life. I balance my time efficiently and am fully available for overnight boarding on weekends. During weekdays, I have excellent availability to dedicate my afternoons and evenings to your dog, ensuring they receive plenty of focused attention, long walks, and regular potty breaks. Because I maintain a consistent schedule, you can count on me to be exceptionally punctual with feedings, check-ins, and updates. I live full-time in Tuscaloosa with my own friendly, well-behaved mini Bernedoodle, who is almost three years old. He loves company and provides great socialization for guest pets! When hosting dogs in my home, safety is my absolute top priority. I ensure a clean, calm, and secure environment where your pet will be treated like family. I am highly attentive to behavioral cues and comfortable managing medium-to-large breeds.

“Thank you for caring for Dante ! He came back home a happy baby ! Amber definitely took good care of him and I couldn’t of been more pleased 😃 definitely will book with her again in the future”
About: I’ve been around dogs my whole life—since I was 5 years old. My mom is a dog groomer, and I worked with her for years, which gave me hands-on experience with dogs of all sizes, temperaments, and needs. I currently have three of my own, ranging from 40 to 190 lbs, so I’m very comfortable handling large breeds and high-energy pups. I’m confident with everything from basic care to reading dog body language and managing senior or anxious dogs with patience and calm energy. I work from home, so I’m home all day and able to give your pet plenty of attention, playtime, and potty breaks. My flexible schedule means I can easily stick to your dog’s routine and be available for walks, feedings, and cuddle time throughout the day. Whether I’m caring for pets in my home or yours, safety and comfort are always my top priorities. I take the time to understand each pet’s routine, personality, and any special needs or quirks. I follow instructions closely, keep a clean and calm environment, and never leave pets unattended in unsafe situations. I also give regular updates so you always know how your pet is doing. My goal is to make sure they feel secure, happy, and at home—wherever they are.

About: I have never had an animal not love me at first sight. I have 3 dogs and two cats so I am very familiar with animals I am currently working part time and can stay the night with your pets or just come and check on them any time necessary. At least 2-3 times a day. More if needed I keep my animals safe, secure, and well fed. I will treat your pet like my own and give them lots of love and treats if so permitted.
“Isabella is hands down the best pet sitter I’ve had the privilege of hiring. She was very flexible with my last minute needs, her communication is top tier, and If there was ever a problem (my fault) she was good at letting me know. My puppy is a big fan of her per the daily photos I received. She has won me over as a repeat client and I look forward to taking another trip without the stress of worrying about my puppy’s needs. Thank you again, Isabella! (:”
“Leah was absolutely incredible, took such good care of our fur babies and made sure to keep me updated every single day with tons of pictures! We definitely recommend using Leah to take care of your babies as well, you won’t be disappointed in any way. Our cats all seemed so happy, Leah even brought our cats toys for a Christmas present which was so nice and shows how much Leah really cares about your animals. We will definitely be booking again when we need a sitter again! ☺️”
“Thomas was an awesome cat sitter for my two cats over the winter break. I couldn't be more satisfied with the experience! I received daily pictures and came back to my apartment just as I left it. I wholeheartedly recommend Thomas as a cat sitter for those looking for reliable pet care.”

At a client’s home, I follow their established routines and guidelines closely, ensuring their pet feels comfortable and secure.
About: What sets me different from others is the genuine connections I have with Dogs. A Dog is a man bestfriend and I love that quote. I single handedly trained all my dogs and others. Took time out to build that trust, connection, and loyalty to make sure we trust each other and be there for each other. I currently just graduated school. I went to Troy University out of high school and transferred to the University of Mississippi for my final year. Right now I have alot of free time on my hands and can work around any schedule. I care for pets the same way I care for a human. But also with the understanding the dog has to know your the “Top Dog” in a sense so it knows to respect you and not turn against you.
“I like how Saoirse did the job: she came on time, spent all time with cats, fed them and played with them; and finally I had the very nice pictures of my happy cats after each drop-in visits.”
About: I’ve owned pets for my whole life, but I also have 4 fish and 2 gerbils and babysat ferrets! I will always be free to check on your furbaby no matter the time, even at midnight, or stay the night with them. I am completely free all day every day since I am home for summer break from college starting May through early August. Unless I get another job this will not change. I don’t offer pet care in my home but I do offer services at your home, I can send you updates of whenever I arrive at your home, send you pictures while I’m there, update you when they potty, eat, what they do throughout the day, etc. And of course update you whenever I leave and tell you when I plan on returning. No pet parent should have to worry about if their animal(s) are getting enough love, that’s what I’m here for!

Perfect for high energy dogs - Akron
“I really appreciate Morgan. My schedule unfortunately almost caused a conflict with hers and she still went above and beyond to make sure Max enjoyed himself. Even as I picked Max up he continued to attempt to leave the car to go back with her, I could tell he enjoyed himself with her dog as well. Very appreciative! Definitely reach out to her about your fur baby.”
“Talhia was absolutely wonderful! this was my first time leaving my baby with someone else and she made me feel so much comfort. She sent pictures to me throughout the whole entire day , gave me updates on how she was doing, and loved my baby like it was her own. She will most definitely be my number one contact when I have to leave my baby.”
“Zoe has a level of care for pets and for people that makes her stand out from the rest. She puts in so much time and love into making sure you AND your pet is comfortable. By far one of the best communicators I’ve encountered on Rover. Cannot say enough great things. 100/10”
About: Hi furbaby parents! 🐕❤️ Summer is here! 🥰Bring your baby for their "fur-cation" where the fun & relaxation is!😍🐶 Having to get a sitter, drop-in visit or walks scheduled for your baby can be a stressor- being away from your baby & finding your person. Well you have found your person here. I love furbabies & will take great care of your baby. 🐶♥️ To me they are our babies, & like us, they each have their own likes, dislikes, quirks & personalities. I have furkids myself & my house is setup with furbabies & safety in mind. 🥰 I have furbaby beds in several rooms, gates between doorways so in case someone wants to be alone, I can accommodate, or if your baby needs time to warm up to a new place, thats another reason to have gates, for them to meet & greet at their own pace, not rushed. I just don't like the idea of having to stay in kennels, like at the vet! Thats what brought me to Rover as a client, now a sitter myself. I have a playroom for furbaby friends with plenty of toys, beds & a fenced in backyard for supervised potty & play! On pretty days we spend as much time outside as we can. We also have elevated beds outside, 2 little pup-pools, large grassy area & covered backporch with fan, patio umbrella & also a water misting fan to beat the heat! Thats a real treat! (Pup cups too!)🥰 My babies love everyone, but I know not everyone else's pups love the same things. Its important for them all feel safe & comfortable. I have kennels if needed, which we rarely use, with a spare room if needed. So if one wants to nap quietly & another wants to run & play, its no problem at all. My senior pup is 10 & will play some but mostly likes to lounge & watch the others; my twins are almost 2 & will play off & on all day, so your baby will have a great time! *I can do boarding in my home, sitter service, stop by for drop-in visit & feed/water, potty & play, or stop by & take them for a walk. I can stop by for kitty care, but cant board Ms/Mr Kitty at my house, sorry. *Ater hours pickup/drop off is no problem. My furkids are neutered/ spayed, fully vaccinated & get monthly heartworm/hookwork flea/tick prevention 💊 Prevention & good health is very important to me, as I would hope yours is taken care of also. Your baby is in good hands here, & will have plenty of playtime & treats; OR if we just want to nap, we love that too! 😊 ✨️Message me & let me know what days/times you need. Lots of love to go around.🥰 ***FIRST TIME CLIENTS: Safety for all in important. Let's set up a quick meet & greet. That way, I can get better acquainted with your baby & you, and so your baby isn't meeting me as a stranger on our first day of stay, but I understand sometimes its not an option for whatever reason, & thats okay. We will be glad to have you! **We will meet in a Public/Safe place. Thanks & hope to see you & your babies soon! 🥰UPDATE: Rover makes 20% of all earnings, I offer discounted or locked in rates for my Repeat clients or Regulars; I even do some private pay clients. I take care of furkids a little more "extra" than many furparents, I've been told! But to me that's a compliment! Bc being furbaby lover, I believe in real loving care, not just meeting basic needs. 🐕 🐈 🦮 COME STAY & PLAY!🥰🐶❤️ I work locally & have recent changes in my schedule which gives me more availability. I also have my own precious furbabies at home, so it's not a new task. I would manage the same way I do for my own. So let me know what you need & I will get you on my calendar! And Thank you for inquiring with me. And much thanks to my current Regulars & for all the wonderful comments & reviews! I appreciate you all so much & I'm always here, so book early, as I only keep a few babies at a time, for adequate, attentive care! I have a treated fenced in back yard for our Supervised play & potty & security cameras in & outside my home for safety. Update: Please ensure your furbabies are up to date on vaccines. Cameras on and within property for safety. *I thought this should go in the safety area: I'm no stranger to the area. I'm originally from Fayette County. I have family here in Northport, Coker & Tuscaloosa. So, I am a lifelong local to the area, and have a complete background attached to my profile & also have updated Government Clearance. So rest assured, your baby is safe with me.
“Samantha did an amazing job! She was very accommodating as our drop off time was very last minute. She sent updates and we felt like our pup was in great hands the whole time. We will definitely reach out again when we are back in the area.”
“Savannah very clearly LOVES dogs and she made sure my fur baby had a blast every time he came for daycare. She was always on time and a great communicator. I can definitely be a helicopter mom at times, but I would trust her with my pup any day! We will definitely be back!”
About: Growing up on a farm I've had a lot of experience with multitudes of different animals. I have a genuine love for all fur babies (and those without fur). I have a lot of love and time to give to any baby needing to be watched by someone who will be attentive and loving. I play and talk and really spend time with the babies I watch. I am home 99% of the time and when watching animals, like to spend time getting to know them and playing with them. Whatever time required for certain activities upon request can be met easily! I have pets of my own that are very friendly and well behaved. I have a lot of space to keep them separate or if your fur baby wants a friend to play with, they love to play with other animals. That is completely up to the owner on what they prefer.
“Ansley and her fur baby, Koda have been amazing! Solo has had a blast 3 different play dates while we’ve been in Tuscaloosa! We received lots of pictures and videos of Solo having a wonderful time! Communication was awesome! We look forward to our next trip to Alabama so Solo can visit his friends again!”
About: I’ve taken care of all types of dogs since I was the age of 11. My first pup was a chihuahua. I’ve also cared for German shepherds, pitbulls, bullies, Great Danes, Rottweiler to many others and smaller. Pet care fits my schedule because I am a stay at home girlie. I’m currently working free lance so I have plenty of time and attention to give. I do not have a fenced in yard, however there is plenty of space to walk around and I will keep all pets on a leash. Also willing to go to dog parks and things as such.
“Alicia is so sweet! She was so good with my two pups. We used her for daycare and she sent me so many pics! She has a backyard which is great for our more energetic dog. Her dog and her kids were super friendly and gentle with our dogs. I could tell my babies were exhausted from when we got in the car.”

“Alysse was very accommodating, communicated consistently, and sent updates with photos. I had a last minute need for my pups to have some supervision and company and she was super understanding. Thanks so much. Would definitely book again :)”
About: I got my first family dog at the age of 12 and he was a 100 pound chocolate Labrador named Max. When I moved to Germany, I was not allowed to take him so he currently lives with my brother. After moving back to the US, I got my own toy poodle at the age of 16 named Eymber and was completely responsible for her. Once I moved to college, I got her a puppy named Koko and they absolutely love eachother. Eymber is now 5 years old and koko is 1. Occasionally, I stop by the Tuscaloosa animal shelter to volunteer and I love being the reason a pup was happy that day. I love my babies and all fur babies more than anything in the world!!💛 I graduated from the University of Alabama in December of 2024. I’m a stay at home wife while my spouse works at the Alberta elementary school of performing arts so I’ll have plenty of time to cafe for your pups. I have a small fenced in backyard and 2 adult toy poodles who are very sweet to everyone. I live in a small neighborhood with tons of space to take walks/runs. I also prefer a gentle approach when correcting behavior and I believe crates should be a safe space rather than punishment.
About: I understand what it means to leave your dog in someone else's care. That’s why your furry friend won’t just be a guest—they’ll be treated like family, with personalized care and lots of love. I currently don’t have pets at home, which allows me to provide exclusive attention to the dogs I care for. My furry family is in Mexico, my home country, and since I travel frequently, I can’t have them with me. This has only strengthened my dedication to care for other people’s pets with love, respect, and responsibility. I mostly work with repeat clients throughout the year. This helps me truly get to know each dog—their routines, their likes and dislikes—and make them feel calm and at home. Even though I’m still learning English, I always find ways to communicate clearly—using tools or translation support when needed. I’m committed to making every family feel heard, safe, and confident. If you're looking for someone to care for your dog as if they were their own—with love, respect, and dedication—I'm here to help! 💕 Pet care fits perfectly into my routine because I am passionate about their well-being. I plan my days flexibly to meet their needs, ensuring they get plenty of playtime, exercise, and companionship. Additionally, I organize my schedule to provide them with a safe and comfortable environment. I make sure each pet feels safe, comfortable, and well cared for according to their individual needs. In my clients' homes, I follow their usual routines to minimize stress for the pet, ensuring they receive the attention and companionship they need. Additionally, I maintain constant communication with the owners to give them peace of mind while they are away.

However, your pet must not be very needy so that it doesn’t interfere with his work. He does take several breaks and your pet will have availability to be outside several times a day. I enjoy sitting outside enjoying the sunshine or going for walks is also fun activities for mine. We keep a large bed for your pet, toys, and a few treats. I love taking “paw” trips to the park or pet store. I am open to most anything your dog(s) needs.
