“Steven welcomed our two sister mini-dachshunds into his house for a week while my family went on vacation. As these are senior dogs (15+), they do have some special needs, but Steven handled both with care and attention while sending us daily updates with pictures. We are so grateful for Steven and his family for the care they gave to our babies.”
“Thank you Kelly & Brian for making this process a breeze. This was my first time using the app and I would definitely book with you again. The updates and photos put me at ease, ensuring my little one was comfortable. Again thank you for everything!”
“Donna & Will were absolutely fabulous! They took care of our fur babies like their own. Their home is so dog welcoming and set up to ensure that the dogs are safe and comfortable. 5-star caregivers!!”
“Hope is the absolute best!! She is always so flexible and easy to work with. Our pups love her and love spending time with her. We will always pick her every time!! We know our pups are safe and loved when they’re with her. ❤️”
“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! 🩷🐾”
“They treated my Bella girl like family and I couldn’t have asked for a better place for her to go while we were out of town! 10/10 highly recommend! They sent photos and gave us updates and I’m so grateful to have found Meaghan and Johnny!!”
“This was our first time using Rover, and I'm so glad we did! Kira took great care of our dogs. She sent pictures of them every day and they looked like they were having so much fun with the other dogs! I'm so happy such a wonderful sitter is in our area. We will definitely utilize her services again!”
“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.”
“Would love to have her to oversee Titus anytime. She kept me informed at all times. He loved his company. Her family is very welcoming. I’m thankful that she was available to assist me at the spur of the moment. I’m really satisfied with overall service Rover provides for my pet Monster Titus. Rick”
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!
“Panda had a great time staying at Brett's. I was relieved to see that Brett's place is very clean and comfy for Panda's 1 week stay. Brett responded promptly and was easy to work with.”
“Emma had a great time with Stephanie and her family. Such a great time that she was sad to come home :) Stephanie was very flexible with our late arrival due to delayed flight. She updated us frequently with photos which was great. Would recommend her to anyone!”
“We drop Caspian off with Benjamin all the time and he loves to go over and spend time at Benjamin’s house! I get wonderful pictures of them playing while we’re out of town and I would love to recommend him to anyone thinking about booking here!”
“We really felt that Bailey came back to us happy and like she had a great time! We really appreciated the walks and care Bailey got while staying with Jessica and Jeffrey! Sincerely so thankful for their time with our girl!”
“Rufio has a blast at Becky’s. He had lots of company and played in the pond every day. She sent me lots of pictures and updates. I thought I would spend my whole trip worried sick about him, especially since he’s a new foster, but I felt more than comfortable. I’m incredibly relieved and will surely book with Becky again if I need to board my babies!”
“Violet had a great time while we were away. Brittany sent pictures daily of how well she was doing. We will definitely use her again anytime we travel out of town.”
“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!”

About: I’ve taken care of all kinds of animals since I was around 12 years old. I started with watching animals in my neighborhood and have started staying at houses while families are on vacation.

“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!!”
“Ten was fantastic with my 2 fur babies who need to be fed 2x a day. Even my very shy cat came out to see her. Will absolutely be booking with REN again. Excellent visit notes as well.”
“Makoto was great. She looked after my people-centered, needy, and spoiled orange tabby, doing drop-in visits for over two weeks. Every day, I received pictures of his basic needs being met (his meals, etc.) and also pictures of him. Makoto played with him and gave him the attention he needs. When I returned home, he was relaxed and happy. I recommend Makoto without reservation.”
“Callie did a great job. One of cats is very shy and Callie was super patient with her and even got her to come out play. Callie also went above and beyond and reset our auto feeder for us when it turned off.”
“Danielle was amazing ! She perfectly matched my expectations regarding my 2 cats. She's super friendly and even one of my cat *that usually never show up) let Danielle pet her ! I really appreciated all the pictures and detailed summary for each visit. I'll for sure contact Danielle in the future !”
“Jennifer came by and fed/cleaned up after my 4 cats. It was so nice to come home to clean boxes, fed kitties and general tidiness!! I will definitely use her again next time I travel. It’s golden not having to stress over their care!!!”
About: Experience with friendly and not so friendly felines. If they wants snuggles - snuggles they get. If they want to be left alone - they'll never see me. Little box scooper extraordinaire.
“Vivien did an excellent job caring for my aging feline on the 4th of July when I had to be away from her. Throughout the evening of fireworks explosions, Vivien kept my Kitty calm and soothed her so that she felt safe. She stayed with her overnight and left when all was well the next morning. The peace of mind this gave me was tremendous. Her communication with me was excellent and she left my home in the same great condition that she found it. I definitely recommend Vivien for you Feline or Canine pet sitting needs and for overnight stays if necessary. I will definitely be calling on Vivian again for her pet care services.”
“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.”
About: I’ve been walking dogs and dog sitting for family and friends since I was 10. I am a certified veterinary assistant and have experience in the clinic. I have been held responsible for walking, feeding, watering, and grooming pets in the past. I am currently working in the er 2-3 days a week. 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. When pet sitting I like to stick to a routine the dog is familiar with as it is already stressful for them when their family is gone. I will play with them and take them on walks if that is something your dog enjoys.
About: I've taken care of and bottle fed cats for about 12 years now, and I've worked primarily at a pet care facility and an animal hospital. Taking care of animals and giving them the love they need is what's most important to me, and to the owner's satisfaction while they're away. I can also administer medications if needed.

“Colleen was able to watch Sully for doggy daycare very last minute! When I picked up Sully he was very happy and acting himself. Colleen was a good communicator and sent me updates throughout the day. I felt great about Sully being cared for her!”
“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.”

“Milo loves going to Ms. Becky’s house! I’m pretty picky when it comes to our dog child and I knew he was in good hands (and was going to have fun) at her home! The initial meet and greet was great to get me and Milo comfortable before leaving him. He loves water so having the option to cool off and play in her pond was perfect while playing with the other dogs. Definitely coming back to Ms. Becky’s in the near future and would highly recommend her to others!”
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. 2 day minimum required. 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.
“Stephanie was great with our little dog. Very responsive to his needs. He had a great time playing at her house and loved her yard. She was very flexible with our schedule which was so helpful. I would definitely bring him back to her house if we are ever in the Huntsville area again.”

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. To keep my family time a priority, pick ups need to be before 6pm unless otherwise discussed. An overnight fee will be placed if they are not picked up by that time. Pick ups after hours and Sundays will be approved on case by case basis. Please message me with details of your stay. I have two dogs and two children, working from my home, so my schedule is flexible. Pups will rarely be without someone around to hang out, play and have fun with.

“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!!!!”

About: I’ve been around animals my whole life. Indoor or outdoor, I know each animal has a different personality, and I am very patient and understanding when it comes to pets. I’m definitely an animal lover and would love to take care of your pet and provide a positive and enriching experience. Please consider me! ❤️ My primary job is Airbnb management, which is done from mostly my phone, so I have plenty of room to operate off of your time/schedule.

About: hi! my name is jaylyn! I have always had dogs and one cat growing up so i am a huge animal lover. i got my first pet, a dog, when i was in middle school and have had pets every since. I have personally trained all of my dogs growing up, and i love animals almost more than people ;) i love animals very much and love a good cuddler! i really want to spread my love and joy of animals while taking care of others precious babies! i am very flexible and any service i am willing to tweak in whatever way works for both of us. life is crazy and times are hard..so i am very open to anything that might be needed!

About: One thing that sets me apart is my firsthand experience caring for a reactive dog of my own. That experience taught me how important patience, consistency, body language awareness, and calm handling are when working with dogs who may be anxious, overstimulated, fearful, or slow to trust new people. Because of that, I’m very mindful of creating a safe, low-stress environment where pets can feel comfortable at their own pace. I’m experienced with maintaining routines, managing different energy levels, and recognizing behavioral cues before situations become stressful. I’m comfortable caring for puppies, senior dogs, high-energy breeds, and pets who need extra patience or structure. I also know how important communication is to pet parents, so I provide reliable updates, photos, and detailed check-ins for peace of mind while you’re away. Because I run my own special education advocacy business, I have a flexible schedule that allows me to provide dependable and attentive pet care throughout the week. My work gives me the ability to accommodate a variety of schedules, including daytime visits, overnight stays, weekends, and many holiday needs. I’m able to plan my schedule carefully so pets receive consistent care, attention, exercise, and companionship rather than rushed drop-ins. Flexibility also means I can better adapt to pets with specific routines, medication schedules, anxiety needs, or extra potty breaks. I care for pets by focusing on keeping their routine as normal, comfortable, and stress-free as possible. In a client’s home, I make sure pets receive plenty of attention, exercise, playtime, bathroom breaks, fresh water, meals on schedule, and affection based on their individual personality and needs. I understand that many pets feel safest in their familiar environment, so I try to maintain the routines they’re used to while also keeping the home clean, secure, and well cared for. I pay close attention to behavior, body language, and energy levels so I can adapt care appropriately, whether a pet needs active play, mental stimulation, quiet companionship, or extra patience. My experience owning a reactive dog has made me especially mindful about creating calm interactions and respecting each animal’s comfort level and boundaries.
About: Loving on your pups is my passion! I am a big dog lover and have been for my entire life. I have taken care of animals since I was little.

Let me walk your dog, play with them and care for them while you are away. ❤️ I’m currently a stay at home mom, so I am very flexible with my schedule meaning more time I can spending spoiling your pups! I’m available weekdays and weekends! I have a fenced in yard and dog friendly home. I have dog toys indoors and outdoors as well as two friendly pups of my own that would love some play dates! I can also take care of your dogs from the comfort of their own home if you prefer. I can crate your pup for their own comfort, take them on walks, and do whatever I need to do to make your dog feel more comfortable!

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!
“Panda had a great time staying at Brett's. I was relieved to see that Brett's place is very clean and comfy for Panda's 1 week stay. Brett responded promptly and was easy to work with.”
“Emma had a great time with Stephanie and her family. Such a great time that she was sad to come home :) Stephanie was very flexible with our late arrival due to delayed flight. She updated us frequently with photos which was great. Would recommend her to anyone!”
“We drop Caspian off with Benjamin all the time and he loves to go over and spend time at Benjamin’s house! I get wonderful pictures of them playing while we’re out of town and I would love to recommend him to anyone thinking about booking here!”
“We really felt that Bailey came back to us happy and like she had a great time! We really appreciated the walks and care Bailey got while staying with Jessica and Jeffrey! Sincerely so thankful for their time with our girl!”
“Rufio has a blast at Becky’s. He had lots of company and played in the pond every day. She sent me lots of pictures and updates. I thought I would spend my whole trip worried sick about him, especially since he’s a new foster, but I felt more than comfortable. I’m incredibly relieved and will surely book with Becky again if I need to board my babies!”
“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!”
“Barbara and Keith are so easy to work with and our Labradoodle loves hanging out with them. We do not worry at all while we are out of town and he is in their care. Highly recommend!”
“Kristen is kind, communicative, and doesn’t deviate from loving and caring on your pet. She watched my pup and my gecko for nearly two months as I was coming back from a deployment. She gave me regular updates, troubleshot when she couldn’t get a hold of me, and stayed flexible as I made it home. My pup is on medications and Kristen not only followed the directions, but my pup left her in better shape than she had arrived there! I was extremely thankful for her patience and coordination to make sure my critters were well loved and cared for. Thank you, again!”
“Pope had a great time with Cassie! A weekend full of playing. This was my first time boarding him and she made me feel very confident that he was well taken care of! Highly recommended and will be using her again.”
About: Experienced Pet Care for All Kinds of Animals! I’ve always loved animals, and over the years, I’ve had the opportunity to care for a wide variety. I’ve farm-sat for a property with 5 dogs, 16 horses, chickens, and a cat. I’ve also looked after homes with aquariums, koi ponds, ferrets, hedgehogs, and turtles. I even have experience working with parrots and parakeets. With over a decade of dog-sitting experience for both small and large breeds, I’m dedicated to following every pet’s unique routine—whether that means daily walks, special diets, or administering medications. Your pets will get all the outdoor time, care, and attention they need while you’re away. I have multiple references available, and I’m happy to provide them to give you peace of mind. My goal is to make sure you can enjoy your time away, knowing your pets are in good hands. I’m dedicated to providing exceptional care for your pets, offering a range of services including house sitting, drop-in visits, boarding, and dog walks. My schedule is designed to accommodate your needs. Whether you need someone to stay overnight, check in on your pets during the day, or take them for a walk, I’m here to provide loving and reliable care. Feel free to reach out if you have any questions or specific requests! When caring for pets in your home, I prioritize following any specific instructions you provide to ensure your pets receive the best possible care. I will maintain their routine and comfort by adhering to their feeding schedules, exercise needs, and any special care requirements. In addition to pet care, I’m happy to help with small tasks around your home, such as collecting mail, taking out the trash on designated days, and ensuring everything is in order while you’re away. My goal is to provide peace of mind, knowing that your pets are loved and your home is well cared for. For pets in my home, I create a safe and welcoming environment tailored to their needs. I ensure they have plenty of playtime, social interaction, and a cozy place to relax. Each pet is treated as part of the family, with plenty of attention and affection. If your pet is not a fan of cats or other dogs my house has the space for me to place my own pets into half the house providing everyone comfort and safety if needed.
