“Savannah was great! She even sat down with my dog, who is terrified of grooming, and brushed through her ridiculously large amount of fur for 45 minutes! You can tell she has a love for animals.”
“Bama 🐶 had a great first time boarding stay with Kristen and her family. Kristen communicated during his stay and sent pics which eased my mind that he was doing well. He felt loved and right at home with them. I would definitely book with them again and i know he would love to come back!”
“Our puppy always feels at home with Jessica. It’s clear that Jessica deeply cares for the dogs she takes care of and we are very grateful. Jessica is our first call whenever we go out of town. Cannot recommend enough.”
“Doug has become one of pur dog's favorite people!! She is always pleased to spend time in his home when we are away. Doug also is very conscientious about her feedings which are a bit complicated. So glad to have found him!?”
“Marilyn is a fantastic pet sitter—friendly, very accommodating with last-minute changes, and clearly cares a lot for the animals in her care. She took great care of our pup and we definitely recommend her services!”
“Opal was amazing! She took on our sweet guy for a last minute booking. We received constant updates throughout his stay. She was very detailed oriented in getting to know him and what made him comfortable. We felt like he was safe and loved in our absence. We will absolutely we booking with her in the future.”
“Kyler was very responsive and made us feel so comfortable leaving our two German Shepard with her for the first time. I appreciated how she received the dogs and helped them get acclimated before introducing them to the other sweet pups in her care. She was great with updates and we loved all the pictures she sent. She even provided some special treats for our pups on their last morning which pictures proved they thoroughly enjoyed! We had a great experience with Kyler and will definitely be using her services again in the future.”
“They took great care of my Aussiedoodle. He looked so happy in every photo. She sent plenty of photos and him and each photo had a little blurb of how he was doing. It was very cute! I would totally trust them again with him. It makes it more enjoyable for him that they have their own dogs as well. I know he enjoyed playing with them.”
“If I could leave 10 out of 5 stars I would! Amanda was wonderful and we could not have asked for a better experience. Besides being kind, gentle, and thoughtful, she was very caring and gave our dog lots of attention. We had multiple pictures and videos, which were so nice. She took Oliver on walks every day, not down the street, but to a park every day. She also fed him home cooked chicken (with my approval) to try to get him to eat (picky eater!). I know Oliver had a great time and it was so nice not worrying about our little boy! We will definitely use her again! Thank you Amanda!”
“Kimberley was awesome! She was very accommodating and understanding of our older dog’s transition to a new area and home. Maddie loved her spacious backyard and her new friends, Sampson and Stokely. Maddie can’t wait for us to need Kimberley’s services again!”
“Danielle was great in providing pictures of our pet and taking care of him while we were out of town. Would definitely ask her to watch our pet again in the future!”
“It was Harry's first time and looked like he had a great time !!! He enjoyed his walks and interaction with other dogs. Timely updates of him and pictures really helped us be at ease We highly recommend Briana. Thank you for taking such good care of him .. Will rebook without second thoughts.”
“Tatiana was WONDERFUL! She walked Harley a ton which I know Harley enjoyed, especially after a long car ride the day before. I could tell immediately that Harley was comfortable with Tatiana and her family and that’s saying a lot because Harley can be very timid and shy around new people. Thank you for sending plenty of picture updates too, I’ll definitely be booking again when I’m in the area!!!”
“Rachel was amazing! She sent us pictures and updates during stay and let us know of any issues our pup was having. My sweet girl has food allergies and Rachel reached out to let us know plus did what she could to help. Will 100% be using her again in the future.”

About: I’ve always been a cat lover since I was a child. During Covid I rescued four feral cats and I helped raise two of them. When I was moving off on my own for the first time one of the first things I knew I needed to do make my new place a home was a adopt a kitty. So I adopted a 3 year old Torbie and months after I adopted a 7 week old black kitty. Now I have a full happy home with 4 cats and 2 dogs.

“Davonna did a great job with Sly. He's a very shy cat. She was very good with that and was able to keep him as comfortable about us being gone as she could. Love that she was punctual, communicated well with us, and was reliable. Thanks Davonna... we will definitely be back in touch when we need a sitter again.”

“I cannot say enough good about Savannah! She is an absolutely amazing caretaker. She treated my little girl like she was her own. If I could give her 10 out of 5 stars I would.”
“We were planning to leave our pups in a large kennel outside because we were only taking a day trip. Last minute, I feel that it is going to be too cold for me to be comfortable leaving them outside. David agreed to take them last minute, easing my concerns. We felt our pups were well cared for during their time with David. He kept us updated on them settling in. He sent us a video of our pups outside, behaving as they would if they were home. All of David's interactions with us during their stay allowed us to enjoy time with our family without concern. We are also sitters so, the fact that I would highly recommend David should speak volumes.”
“Kyler is so good with our fur baby. He is always so excited when it is daycare day to get to go play and have so much fun all day! She takes great pics and is informative. We are definitely repeat clients.”
“This Riley's first stay with Breanna and Jason and it was a big hit 😀 Riley came home happy and tired 🤗 I will say that Breanna and Jason have a very handsome Golden of their own that might have influenced Riley's attitude 😉 Both of the hoomans were kind, courteous and flexible with my plans and took time to properly introduce my Riley to their home and see that she was well cared for. We look forward to seeing Breanna and Jason and family again soon 😊”
About: I have taken care of pets, not only cats and dogs, since I was a young child. I thoroughly enjoy seeing to their needs and providing them the love and care they need! I currently work part time, and my schedule is very flexible, so I am happy to work around your schedule. Early mornings are okay with me too since I’m an early riser! I am very intuitive and will make sure that your pets are well taken care of. I take pride in making sure that your pet gets the care it needs.
“I reached out to Mrs. Kim on very short notice after my dog sitter bailed on me days prior to a week long vacation I had scheduled. Mrs.Kim was very accommodating with my request. She does frequent updates and made my baby a part of her pact, and now my dog loves it there! 100% recommend Mrs. Kim and her family and will be using her again and again !”
About: I adore dogs and would love to take care of your family members. I work from home so I’m able to be a consistent companion during the day, have a fenced yard for play, am active and love to take walks (if your pup likes). My old gal was with us for 17 years so I have elderly dog experience. I’m so excited to love on your dogs. I work from home, so during the week I am here most of the time apart from going to the gym or running errands. On weekends if your pet can’t be left alone for a couple of hours just check in with me at booking! I have a fenced yard, no pets currently, and a son (17) who is super sweet but usually at school or soccer training. I’m able to provide frequent breaks and walks.
“My babies came home fully intact! No parts missing lol! Jessica was a great host for my children. She sent updates throughout the day along with photographs. From the moment I dropped them off I was confident I had chosen the right person for the task. She is a pleasant human with a big heart. Yep, my babies came home just as I dropped them off, happy and all parts intact! Thank you Jessica!”
About: With over 16 years of experience in animal care, I bring a strong background in both small and large animals, including horses, livestock, and dogs. I’ve worked in veterinary clinics and dog boarding facilities, which gave me hands-on experience with animals of all temperaments and needs. While I value the structure of those settings, I believe in-home care is the most comfortable and stress-free option for most pets. I currently care for two dogs and two horses of my own, and I approach every client’s animal with the same level of respect, patience, and attentiveness I give my own. House Sitting Availability: I’m available for overnight care only, providing feeding, walks, and supervision during the night hours. Drop-In Visits Availability: I can provide up to two drop-in visits per day, including feeding, potty breaks, and basic care. In home boarding : I live in an apartment with a fenced deck, have two friendly dogs, and kids aged 3 and 8. I provide plenty of walks, playtime, and attention. I never board more than one family at a time, so your pup gets all the care and attention they need while you’re away. I prioritize safety and trust above all else when caring for pets in your home. Creating a calm, secure environment is essential to help your pets feel comfortable and relaxed while you’re away. I treat your home and pets with the same respect and care I would expect for my own!

About: First off, I love dogs! The relationship we share with them is unbreakable. I’ve always had dogs in my life, ever since I was a little girl. I have experienced dogs ranging from toy poodles to roitweilers. I have gained knowledge on the diffeeent personalities of dogs and not one is the same, which makes dogs so interesting. My personality, nevertheless, is kind. I enjoy making people’s day and helping others out through volunteering. I am currently a student at the University of South Alabama and majoring in accounting. With this being my major it is clear I like a challenge. It allows for no dull moments and to keep me very well organized with my day-to-day life. I am dedicated to strive and succeed in life.
About: Ive taken care of animals since I was a child, I volunteer at pet shelters and have training as a vet tech from a vet clinic. I am a mama bear when it comes to all animals, they are treated with respect and love. I am a receptionist and mother of 2 boys, and my husband works from home as an accountant. Your dog or cat will be in great hands, I will walk them and take potty breaks. When I am away at work or the store they will be separated from other animals and given toys and water until I get home. I keep an eye on them with a baby monitor. My husband works from home and will also be helping me take care of the fur babies. When we are home they will be out and monitored and loved on. They sleep in crates at night on occasion or in our bed. They get healthy treats and tons of toys. They have a fenced yard to play and run in.
“My dog, Bella, had a blast. She was happy and tired when she got home from Kellie playing with her outdoors. You will definitely be happy leaving your pet with her. Bella will be returning. Thanks Kellie.”
About: Growing up, I always had several dogs in my home, and have even adopted two of my own. Over the years I’ve gained a lot of experience working with hundreds of animals with a wide range of breeds and pets of all ages and sizes. I have experience taking care of dogs anywhere from feeding to walking to playing (etc) for any age range and any size. As mentioned in the title, I have experience working at Birmingham’s local Humane Society and in that time learned a lot about animal behavior. This will help me ensure an animal’s comfort level, safety and trust during my time caring for them. I believe the key to taking care of animals is showing them genuine love and patience. I love animals and do this work to make some money on the side, but also because it brings me so much joy! All pets are considered family, so it’s guaranteed to treat them as such. Your pet’s happiness and safety are top priority so I aim to create a fun and stress free environment for everyone. I’m currently working side hustle jobs that give me the benefit of working with a very flexible schedule. Whatever your needs will be for me to properly care for for animals will be easily catered to during my time caring for your pet/pets. During my stay at a client’s home, I will be able to cater to the pet’s regular routine. I also am comfortable and experienced giving dogs medication if they are on a vet prescribed medicine. I am happy to discuss any needs of the household and go over any expectations of my tile in your space.

I am currently in school for real estate. this helps provide a flexible schedule for my potential clients. My dog is very active so we have lots of time to play! I am happy to follow any instructions you provide for your home, while making sure your dog is safe and taken care of! I am very diligent to ease your mind
About: With over 16 years of experience in animal care, I bring a strong background in both small and large animals, including horses, livestock, and dogs. I’ve worked in veterinary clinics and dog boarding facilities, which gave me hands-on experience with animals of all temperaments and needs. While I value the structure of those settings, I believe in-home care is the most comfortable and stress-free option for most pets. I currently care for two dogs and two horses of my own, and I approach every client’s animal with the same level of respect, patience, and attentiveness I give my own. House Sitting Availability: I’m available for overnight care only, providing feeding, walks, and supervision during the night hours. Drop-In Visits Availability: I can provide up to two drop-in visits per day, including feeding, potty breaks, and basic care. In home boarding : I live in an apartment with a fenced deck, have two friendly dogs, and kids aged 3 and 8. I provide plenty of walks, playtime, and attention. I never board more than one family at a time, so your pup gets all the care and attention they need while you’re away. I prioritize safety and trust above all else when caring for pets in your home. Creating a calm, secure environment is essential to help your pets feel comfortable and relaxed while you’re away. I treat your home and pets with the same respect and care I would expect for my own!
About: I currently work with dogs as a canine coach and have three dogs of my own that are amazing I love dogs and cats they are amazing and fun to work with. I currently work around three to four days a weeks with about 6 hour shifts but other than that am pretty open to any thing else I do have a fenced back yard and three dogs that love to play and if need/provided I can put your dog in a crate for my dogs at home normally go outside when I’m not home or they stay inside when my grandmother is here she lives with me so she watches them when I’m gone
About: I have 2 labs that have been a member of our family for 15 years. I also volunteer at the shelby co. humane society and the birmngham zoo. I understand why most people do not board with a vet and I feel the same way. My animals always have less stress and handle the seperation from human members alot easier. your furry family members are very important an I could not agree more. The dog park is one of our fovorite places.
About: I’m 27 years old and work part time from home as an accountant! I have a lot of availability and time to spend with your pet! I have always loved animals especially dogs! I have cared for dogs of all ages from 6 weeks old to 15 years old. My childhood dog who passed away a few years ago lived until he was 15 years old. He was blind and deaf at the end of his life and required many medications and overall care. I was the sole caretaker for him so I have years of experience of older dog care, no matter what that entails. I now have a 6 year old dog that I rescued at 6 weeks old so I definitely have experience at the other end too! I can bring my dog to your house if your animals like to have a friend to play with or I can leave her at home! I can taylor to any of your dogs needs. I can run or play fetch with them or just give them some much needed loving and belly rubs. I have many years of experience house sitting and watching neighbors dogs.

About: I had a dog for almost 19 years of the first 20 years of my life. She was a sister to me so I understand that pets are family. When I take care of pets, I act as though they were my own. I give them all the love and attention they might want! I am willing to play fetch on end, take them on walks, take them to a park or on a hike, feed or walk whenever needed, and any other special requirements that the pet might need. I am very flexible and understand that certain pets require certain kinds of care. I work in office most of the week so I am usually only available on the weekends. I am usually available or can be flexible with enough notice. I cannot host in my own home but treat others’ homes as a guest. I try to stay out of the way as much as I can, depending on what you prefer me to do with your pet. If outside is preferable, we will stay outside as long as the heat permits! I am respectful that play time can be disruptive within the home and do my very best to be respectful when in someone else’s home.
About: I have had pets most of my life. My dogs have been small breeds but I love them all. My dog recently passed away (age) and I thought how great it would be to love on others pets. I have a part time job with a flexible schedule so would be able to care for your pet most days. I would love to be of service. I am able to take your pet on walks, play with them to burn energy & whatever your needs are. These will be done at your house/neighborhood.

Pet care is nonstop for me — it’s what I do every single day. My routine revolves around walks, drop-ins, baths, enrichment time, and everything in between.

About: First off, I love dogs! The relationship we share with them is unbreakable. I’ve always had dogs in my life, ever since I was a little girl. I have experienced dogs ranging from toy poodles to roitweilers. I have gained knowledge on the diffeeent personalities of dogs and not one is the same, which makes dogs so interesting. My personality, nevertheless, is kind. I enjoy making people’s day and helping others out through volunteering. I am currently a student at the University of South Alabama and majoring in accounting. With this being my major it is clear I like a challenge. It allows for no dull moments and to keep me very well organized with my day-to-day life. I am dedicated to strive and succeed in life.
About: I’ve grown up with dogs my whole life. I recently moved to Alabama from Virginia, and I had to leave behind my four dogs. I miss them so much! I currently work part-time at Salon 43 One, but I’ve always had a soft spot for animals. I recently moved to Alabama and miss my fur babies so much, so I would love the opportunity to care for other people’s pets and get my animal fix! I can do dog walking, or drop in visits. Just provide the instructions & details and we’ll go from there! I will provide updates and picture of your fur baby too!

“Katie and her family were absolutely amazing! They are were so kind and gave my pup all the extra attention he loves. Will absolutely be coming to her for future bookings 😊”
“Savannah was great! She even sat down with my dog, who is terrified of grooming, and brushed through her ridiculously large amount of fur for 45 minutes! You can tell she has a love for animals.”
“Our puppy always feels at home with Jessica. It’s clear that Jessica deeply cares for the dogs she takes care of and we are very grateful. Jessica is our first call whenever we go out of town. Cannot recommend enough.”
“Marilyn is a fantastic pet sitter—friendly, very accommodating with last-minute changes, and clearly cares a lot for the animals in her care. She took great care of our pup and we definitely recommend her services!”
“Opal was amazing! She took on our sweet guy for a last minute booking. We received constant updates throughout his stay. She was very detailed oriented in getting to know him and what made him comfortable. We felt like he was safe and loved in our absence. We will absolutely we booking with her in the future.”
“Kyler was very responsive and made us feel so comfortable leaving our two German Shepard with her for the first time. I appreciated how she received the dogs and helped them get acclimated before introducing them to the other sweet pups in her care. She was great with updates and we loved all the pictures she sent. She even provided some special treats for our pups on their last morning which pictures proved they thoroughly enjoyed! We had a great experience with Kyler and will definitely be using her services again in the future.”
“They took great care of my Aussiedoodle. He looked so happy in every photo. She sent plenty of photos and him and each photo had a little blurb of how he was doing. It was very cute! I would totally trust them again with him. It makes it more enjoyable for him that they have their own dogs as well. I know he enjoyed playing with them.”
“If I could leave 10 out of 5 stars I would! Amanda was wonderful and we could not have asked for a better experience. Besides being kind, gentle, and thoughtful, she was very caring and gave our dog lots of attention. We had multiple pictures and videos, which were so nice. She took Oliver on walks every day, not down the street, but to a park every day. She also fed him home cooked chicken (with my approval) to try to get him to eat (picky eater!). I know Oliver had a great time and it was so nice not worrying about our little boy! We will definitely use her again! Thank you Amanda!”
“Danielle was great in providing pictures of our pet and taking care of him while we were out of town. Would definitely ask her to watch our pet again in the future!”
“Tatiana was WONDERFUL! She walked Harley a ton which I know Harley enjoyed, especially after a long car ride the day before. I could tell immediately that Harley was comfortable with Tatiana and her family and that’s saying a lot because Harley can be very timid and shy around new people. Thank you for sending plenty of picture updates too, I’ll definitely be booking again when I’m in the area!!!”
“Rachel was amazing! She sent us pictures and updates during stay and let us know of any issues our pup was having. My sweet girl has food allergies and Rachel reached out to let us know plus did what she could to help. Will 100% be using her again in the future.”
“Carli was a huge help taking our pup on a last minute request! She has great communication and was able to work with a couple changes in our travel plans to work out best for everyone. She stuck to our dogs schedule to keep him happy and comfortable and we didn’t have to worry about him at all for the duration of his stay.”
“This is our third time leaving our dogs with Jonathan and they really love it there! They got so excited when we pulled up to their house and they ran straight to the fabulous back yard. Highly recommend!”
“Wade and Morgan are AMAZING!! This was the longest I have ever left my pup so I was very nervous about being away from him but they made the entire experience effortless. They sent me picture updates every single day if not twice a day! My dog seemed to not want to leave their house and I could tell that he was very happy and very very well taken care of. I would recommend them to anyone who asks and I will definitely be booking with them again in the future! Thank you so so much Wade and Morgan I appreciate you guys more than you know!”
“This was my first time using Rover. I have 3 cats and I couldn’t stand the thought of leaving them in cages at the vet for a week while I was out of town. I contacted Talhia through Rover. I was extremely pleased and surprised from the level of care Talhia provided. The cats stay in a bedroom, set up strictly for them with cat posts, cozy beds, and toys. She interacted with each kitty and sent daily pictures and texts. This turned out to be an stress-free trip. Talhia and her husband were the perfect sitters and I won’t hesitate to use Rover whenever I go out of town! Brenda Anderson”
“Amazing sitter. Both times now Sansa has been loved and absolutely loved her stay. She’s been incredibly happy both times and there’s always a large amount of communication with daily updates.”
