“I cannot express my gratitude for Kelly, adequately!! I would absolutely book with her and her family a million times over! She was very accommodating and patient from start to finish! My family and I were away for 6 days, and unfortunately, KoKo started exhibiting signs of illness on day 2 into day 3! Kelly alerted me immediately but had already made calls and received pet Med advice and comforted me as well as informed me of diagnosis! She never pressured me to return and even prepared special meals for my KoKo to ease his discomfort!!!! Turns out that he had a horrible case of separation anxiety that was literally making him sick. But Kelly and her family acted quickly and within 36 hours, helped KoKo settle and return to his normal playful healthy state! I told Kelly and I will tell the world… she’s not just a sitter… she’s a BLESSING for people that love their fur babies and want the best home away from home for them! Kelly and Brian (and precious little ones…), THANK YOU ALL SO MUCH!🙏🏽”
“My Achilles has become a repeat client. We love the care and attention Dalis shows him while in her care. The picture updates of him playing and having fun gives me such relief to know he is in great hands.”
“Donna did a wonderful job at making my little Lucy comfortable while we traveled! I believe it has benefited her to be able to spend time with her doggie pals and her new Auntie and Uncle! Donna is excellent at boarding. I highly recommend!❤️”
“I would highly reccomend for anyone who needs a dog sitter to use Colleen. She was very friendly and made us feel comfotable when we arrived. Her house is dog friendly. This was tge first rime I ever used a dog sitter and I was very pleased. She sent several pics of our dog happily enjoying herself and a fun video of my German Shepherd puppy playing with her dog. When I needed to extend the time she allowed us to extend a whold day. It was a great experience and I will use her again.”
“We had Melanie keep our little man for the first time while we were out of town for 7 days. She sent us several pictures every day with an update on his wellbeing. The peace of mind we had while away was immeasurable and we cannot thank Melanie enough for taking wonderful care of our sweet baby! 🐾 Thank you again! 🩷🐾”
“She was amazing in her service as my dog is a medical service dog. I was so happy to see that my girl was left in good hands and treated like a part of their family. Also, the sitter was extremely flexible with my travel, inconveniences and insured that my girl was taking care of the entire time. I can’t recommend her highly enough for her wonderful work and the fact that she is fantastic at sharing the daily activities While your animal is in her care so you can rest assured that they aren’t being just left in a kennel and not loved. I will be using her services moving forward as much as I can for my travel issues as I am very particular for where my dog goes and to be offered the country experience alongside the family love that her home offers is topped to your service for an affordable price.”
“Our trip was so much more relaxing knowing our buddy was in such good hands. I appreciated the photos and videos where he seemed so happy. Put my mind at ease. Drop off and pick up was a breeze!! Thank you so much for taking such good care of Bentley!”
“Auburn was absolutely the best possible person we could have found to care for my mom's dog. She was kind, flexible, understanding, and totally amazing. My mom had to accompany her partner to an out of town medical facility, immediately after he received a surprise terminal diagnosis. She was very worried about her dog. Auburn picked Ginger up, took great care of her, sent regular pictures and updates, and dropped Ginger off after my mom got home, late at night. She was beyond accommodating and I would recommend her to anyone. If we ever have another need for service, we hope and pray Auburn will be available.”
About: We have raised and take care of all three of our dogs! We also pet sit my sister’s Golden Retriever sometimes! This includes feeding, walking, playing, exercising, bathing, etc. We have crate and potty trained all three of our personal pets. Our dogs sleep with us at night and are allowed on our furniture. Any dog we keep is treated like our own! My husband and I both work full time jobs, but my husband Brandon is a school teacher so he is home all summer. Your dogs are rarely ever crated… only if we have an errand to run. Our typical weekend is spent at the dog park, in the drive thru at Dunkin’ for pup cups, and lounging on the couch! My husband is home during the summer, and we have a fenced in backyard, so the dogs are let out to play and potty multiple times during the day. We feed our dogs twice a day- once in the morning & once at night, but let us know if you have a different schedule and we will keep your dog on it! We have three dogs of our own that sleep with us at night and are allowed on our furniture. Blu is three and loves to play with new friends! Ellie is four and would prefer to lay on her bed and chew her bone! Any dog we keep is treated like our own!
“Ben did a wonderful job taking care of my high energy puppy! He provided excellent communication before and during the booking. I appreciated the daily updates along with photos of how my girl was doing while we were away. I could tell she was well loved, cared for, and played with! I also appreciate how he went above and beyond to help her be comfortable while in his care. I will definitely use him again!”
“Becky was fantastic. We needed a rover literally the day before we were going out of town. Becky worked quickly with us on setting up a meet and greet and agreed to watch Bella. Bella seemed to be having a great time there each day. Becky was great about sending lots of pictures every single day. I would definitely recommend Bella for your pet boarding needs.”
“Jessica was great! We had a last minute trip and she was able to accommodate us and worked with our schedule. We knew from the meet and great that Gus would be in good hands. We received pictures and videos and Gus looked happy and like he was having a fantastic time’ Gus was comfortable and made himself right at home! Definitely recommend them and will use again!”
“Kira is very friendly, responsive, accommodating, and professional! She sent pics daily and I loved it because we had a pretty long vacation. My precious boys looked like they were always having a good time. In fact, on some of the pics they appeared to be smiling lol. We will most definitely be using Kira again! I highly recommend!”
“My Piper had a great time with Diane and her fur babies. She has an overall very pet-friendly house/backyard/neighborhood. She treated my fur baby just like her own, and we’ll definitely come back to her in the future.”
“Always an amazing experience! My Tillie couldn’t wait to get out of the car when she saw shaquita’s house again. She is so good at sending pictures and updates. I would recommend her to anyone. 💗”

“I need to be able to leave 10 stars!! This is the 2nd time using Savannah with Rover. My fur babies just love her. She takes such good care of them and sends me pictures so i know they are doing well without me. Already booked my next trip and got another future to book with her! She is so easy to work with. This trip I had so many changes and had to add a cat. She made all changes/updates with no issues and very quickly!! Book Savannah for a stress free booking!!”
“We consider ourselves lucky to have found Natalie to take care of our cats. The booking was a week before our trip (last minute for me), and Natalie was willing to work with us regarding times. We came home to healthy and happy cats who had all their needs met, and more. Natalie posted daily updates of both her activities, and pictures, which we greatly appreciated. She not only took care of their basics - food, water, litter bowls, treats - but spent time interacting with them. We have some great action pictures that made us laugh! We didn't have a minutes worry about them while we were gone. I'd recommend Natalie in a heartbeat, and we will be using her again.”
“This is our 3rd time using Allison to watch our babies while we’re out of town and she is always exceptional! She is so communicative, sends the best pictures and updates and makes us so comfortable with our animals being in her care. She’s truly one of a kind!!!”
“Danielle is such a warm and friendly person; our two reserved kitties warmed up to her fairly quickly, judging by the photos she sent to us via the Rover app. I enjoyed reading how "their day" was going, even if it was only the portion of the day when Danielle visited. We will definitely ask her to care for our kitties on future trips, knowing they will be in loving hands. I highly recommend Danielle!”
“Makoto has done a great job caring for my reptiles when I’m out of town for weeks at a time. She’s very reliable about learning the care routine for each species and I would definitely recommend working with her!”

About: I’m not just a cat sitter — I’m a lifelong animal lover with a soft spot for spooky vibes and a deep understanding of feline personalities. I bring calm hands, patience, and medical awareness to every visit. I grew up around animals, have a cat of my own named Callista, and I know how important it is to keep pets feeling safe, seen, and loved while their humans are away. Whether your cat is shy, sassy, or a full‑time cuddle monster, I tailor my care to their comfort and routine, so they feel completely at home.

I work 12 hour shifts and will put unavailable unless the client approves me checking in before and after work. I am a college student but my classes are online so I am easily flexible and can complete my school anytime and anywhere.

I will play with them and take them on walks if that is something your dog enjoys.

“Hope was great! She sent several updates during the day and made sure my dog was comfortable. She was also very flexible and was able to book us last minute. I’ll definitely be using her again!”
“Ben is one of the best dog sitters Lamby’s met! He was available last minute and even helped us with transport as we only had our RV and finding a pet friendly taxi in town was challenging. Lamb Chop almost wanted to stay with Ben he had such a good day, and he was perfectly tuckered out and content after a fun time.”
“Auburn and her beautiful daughter took my baby, Mocha, on a last-minute request, and they were wonderful! Kind people, clean home, and I know they took care of my sweet pea🌸. Thank you, Rover, for having wonderful people like Auburn on your team! I will be back♥️ and thank you!!”

“First time using Colleen for daycare, she did a wonderful job with our little picky guy. Teddy had a great time playing and snuggling each day. Communication each day went smoothly. Colleen made drop off and pickup a breeze. We will definitely use her again.”
About: With years of hands-on experience caring for dogs of all breeds, ages, and temperaments, I offer more than just sitting — I provide personalized attention tailored to your pet’s unique needs. Whether it’s gentle care for seniors, extra patience and playtime for high-energy pups, or basic training for young dogs, I’ve got the skills and heart to make sure your pet feels safe, happy, and loved while you’re away. I treat every dog like family — because they are. As a stay-at-home mom, I integrate pet care seamlessly into our daily and weekly routines. Each morning begins with feeding and checking on our pets, ensuring they have fresh water and a clean space. Throughout the day, I include walks, playtime, and interaction as part of our family activities—helping pets stay active and engaged. Grooming, cleaning litter boxes or cages, and maintaining their living areas are handled regularly, typically during nap times or quieter parts of the day. I also schedule weekly tasks such as bathing, or vet visits as needed. Caring for our pets is a natural part of our home life. As a stay-at-home mom, creating a safe, trustworthy, and nurturing environment is at the heart of my daily routine. I prioritize cleanliness, consistency, and attentiveness to ensure every member of the household—whether child, adult, or pet—feels secure and cared for. I understand how important it is to build trust through reliability and open communication, and I maintain a calm, structured environment that promotes comfort and peace of mind.
“Had a wonderful experience with Kira. Great communication and smooth drop off and pick up. Felt very secure with her daycare service. Will certainly be using her services again in the future.”
“Stephanie was great! She has a big backyard and comfortable home to watch my dog, Vinny. She was very welcoming and knowledgeable about dogs. She sent pictures of Vinny, and he was well taken care of. I recommend her!”
“Meaghan and her family did such a great job with Kylo! He had the best day playing with the kids and their pets. It was so good to know he was having a blast and being taken care of while we were gone for a long day at the ball field!”
“I wish I could use Amber over and over again! I live in Indiana and came to Alabama for a quick visit. Amber was accommodating to the difficulty that comes with timing when traveling. She is so kind and warm. She made me feel so reassured about dropping off my two boys and it looks like three of them had a blast. If I lived nearby she would 100% be my go to for all my trips. LOVED her!!!!”
“Tiffany and her family are awesome! It was obvious that they all enjoy having fur babies visit. They were all so welcoming to me and my pup. This was my first time leaving my puppy --- but the home was safe and clean and I felt comfortable leaving her. I knew that my baby girl was safe and happy all day... and she came home soo tired!! :). She made friends with the other dogs and played with the couple's beautiful little one year old baby all day! Tiffany gave me updates throughout the whole day and was so respectful of my wishes regarding training. She provided me a full report: the good and the "bad"! My puppy Brinley enjoyed her stay and can't wait to go back.”
About: My availability is very flexible. I currently have a Cane in my home who loves to play! I grew up with various pets and dogs of all sizes, health conditions and ages! I believe in giving treats for a great reward after a walk and some play time. Ive always said dogs are family, any pups that stay with us are treated as our own. SCHEDULE Pick up and drop off hours are between 6am-6pm. I am flexible on pick up/drop offs during the day.

Pick ups after hours and Sundays will be approved on case by case basis. Please message me with details of your stay.

About: I joined Rover full-time in 2023. Prior to Rover I had been pet sitting for friends and family occasionally for at least 5 years. I absolutely love taking care of all kinds of animals. Cats, dogs, bearded dragons, bunnies, frogs, anything really. I have experience taking care of senior and disabled cats and dogs. I have also taken care of many dogs that are considered reactive. I don’t have experience with very young puppies but I have taken care of a few older puppies. Since this is my full-time job, I am willing to accept requests whenever I’m available. I do require meet and greets prior to accepting new clients. For all services, I will be sure to follow whatever instructions are provided to me. I do ask that you please give me clear instructions so I can work to the best of my ability. For dog walks, please provide me with a map of the route you usually take.

Rover is my full time job, I’m looking forward to providing the care your dog deserves. I am an attentive and loving caretaker. I look forward to meeting your furry family members. I have cared for many dogs and cats over the years, contact me for pet care you can count on! I provide diligent supervision and your pets safety, happiness and comfort are top priorities for me.
About: I have been babysitting since I was 14 years old (I am now 19 years old). Along with children, I also took care of family pets. I have two of my own dogs who I take care of and love so so so much!!! Lastly, I have been a camp counselor at Special Session, a summer camp experience for adults with disabilities, for 5 years. I am CPR Certified and First Aid Certified. I am a full-time student at the University of Alabama, but I am looking forward to a summer full of taking care of sweet pets! I will be available pretty much all day on weekdays to be of assistance. I am open to travelling to your home as well as hosting your sweet pets at my home. I have two sweet, older dogs who will keep your babies company and a fenced in backyard with plenty of room to play.
About: I have 15+ years of experience caring for cats and dogs of all breeds and personalities. As a former AKC conformation and lure coursing competitor, I’m confident handling everything from playful puppies to shy or reactive pets. I share my home with four cats, including rescues, so I understand animals with unique needs. I offer calm, patient, and reliable care—no breed or size restrictions, just a focus on safety, trust, and comfort. Most pets, if asked, would prefer to stay home rather than go to a boarding kennel while you are gone. They are in their own home, eating their familiar food from their regular bowl, playing in their own yard, sleeping on their favorite bed or couch. My goal as a pet sitter is to keep your pet healthy, happy, and safe so you can enjoy your time away from home. I visit your home at least twice a day, feeding, checking water bowls, petting and loving, supervising exercise and play time, and handing out treats. I am especially good with senior dogs and have experience getting even difficult dogs to take medications. I also do things like collect mail or newspapers and turn lights on and off so that it looks like someone is around. Pet care fits naturally into my weekly routine. I currently work part-time and attend classes two nights a week, which gives me plenty of flexibility for daytime visits, walks, and overnight care. I plan my schedule around each pet’s needs, making sure they get consistent attention, exercise, and affection. Caring for animals is one of the best parts of my week—it’s grounding, rewarding, and something I truly enjoy. I focus on keeping pets comfortable, safe, and relaxed by maintaining their normal routines. In your home, I follow your feeding, walking, and playtime schedules closely and keep things calm for shy or anxious pets. In my home, animals have a quiet, supervised space, enrichment toys, and plenty of affection. Whether it’s medication, training, or extra snuggles, I tailor care to each pet’s personality and needs.
About: I’ve taken care of all kinds of animals from the craziest and goofiest to the more relaxed and calm! Experience in pets with special needs, senior pets, and “aggressive” breeds. I truly enjoy spending my time with animals and I would love to be there for them! I work full-time remotely so I’m not away all day. My schedule is flexible and being there for your pets will always be my top priority. I can walk, run, and play with your pet! All animals get lots of love! I can follow strict instructions for pet care including household rules.
About: My passion for pets and their mental well-being started early. Since 2019, my dad and I have volunteered at animal shelters, walking dogs and house training them to help them find loving homes. Now, as a college freshman, I’m continuing my mission to give back to the community and support animals as they grow. With two dogs of my own I trained and experience raising a litter of puppies, I understand how important it is for pets to feel safe, loved, and engaged. When your pets are with me, they’ll get more than just care—they’ll enjoy fun agility activities, positive interaction, and, most importantly, safety. I am currently a fully time student, along with involved into on campus clubs and volunteers at the Hospital, but, I still make time to take care of animals at my local animal shelter. Your pet’s safety is my top priority. My home provides a secure, pet-friendly environment where your furry friend can relax, play, and feel at ease. I ensure all spaces are free from hazards, with secure fencing and locked gates for outdoor activities.
About: I’m extremely passionate about animals and animal care! I’m the designated animal lover and pet sitter for all my friends and family! I love each unique personality I meet! I’m currently working part time as a waitress as well as in college but my free days are completely for your animals! There’s nothing I’d rather do on off days than meet your fur babies! I always pride myself in keeping a clean and safe environment for all my animals. I have experience with snakes, lizards, birds, hamsters, cats, dogs, fish, rabbits.. pretty much any animal you can name!

“My Achilles has become a repeat client. We love the care and attention Dalis shows him while in her care. The picture updates of him playing and having fun gives me such relief to know he is in great hands.”
“I would highly reccomend for anyone who needs a dog sitter to use Colleen. She was very friendly and made us feel comfotable when we arrived. Her house is dog friendly. This was tge first rime I ever used a dog sitter and I was very pleased. She sent several pics of our dog happily enjoying herself and a fun video of my German Shepherd puppy playing with her dog. When I needed to extend the time she allowed us to extend a whold day. It was a great experience and I will use her again.”
“She was amazing in her service as my dog is a medical service dog. I was so happy to see that my girl was left in good hands and treated like a part of their family. Also, the sitter was extremely flexible with my travel, inconveniences and insured that my girl was taking care of the entire time. I can’t recommend her highly enough for her wonderful work and the fact that she is fantastic at sharing the daily activities While your animal is in her care so you can rest assured that they aren’t being just left in a kennel and not loved. I will be using her services moving forward as much as I can for my travel issues as I am very particular for where my dog goes and to be offered the country experience alongside the family love that her home offers is topped to your service for an affordable price.”

About: We have raised and take care of all three of our dogs! We also pet sit my sister’s Golden Retriever sometimes! This includes feeding, walking, playing, exercising, bathing, etc. We have crate and potty trained all three of our personal pets. Our dogs sleep with us at night and are allowed on our furniture. Any dog we keep is treated like our own! My husband and I both work full time jobs, but my husband Brandon is a school teacher so he is home all summer. Your dogs are rarely ever crated… only if we have an errand to run. Our typical weekend is spent at the dog park, in the drive thru at Dunkin’ for pup cups, and lounging on the couch! My husband is home during the summer, and we have a fenced in backyard, so the dogs are let out to play and potty multiple times during the day. We feed our dogs twice a day- once in the morning & once at night, but let us know if you have a different schedule and we will keep your dog on it! We have three dogs of our own that sleep with us at night and are allowed on our furniture. Blu is three and loves to play with new friends! Ellie is four and would prefer to lay on her bed and chew her bone! Any dog we keep is treated like our own!

I appreciated the daily updates along with photos of how my girl was doing while we were away. I could tell she was well loved, cared for, and played with! I also appreciate how he went above and beyond to help her be comfortable while in his care. I will definitely use him again!”
“Becky was fantastic. We needed a rover literally the day before we were going out of town. Becky worked quickly with us on setting up a meet and greet and agreed to watch Bella. Bella seemed to be having a great time there each day. Becky was great about sending lots of pictures every single day. I would definitely recommend Bella for your pet boarding needs.”
“Jessica was great! We had a last minute trip and she was able to accommodate us and worked with our schedule. We knew from the meet and great that Gus would be in good hands. We received pictures and videos and Gus looked happy and like he was having a fantastic time’ Gus was comfortable and made himself right at home! Definitely recommend them and will use again!”

“Always an amazing experience! My Tillie couldn’t wait to get out of the car when she saw shaquita’s house again. She is so good at sending pictures and updates. I would recommend her to anyone. 💗”
“Danielle took excellent care of my boy Steven while I was away. And even though I had to ask for an extension of his stay she was accommodating and welcoming. And maintained excellent communication throughout the two weeks of boarding for him. I’ll definitely be booking with her more frequently. I know Steven enjoyed his stay and even made some friends along the way. 10/10 will return!”
