“Kona absolutely loves staying here! He gets so excited every time we arrive, which gives me so much peace of mind. Emily takes such great care of him and always keeps me updated with photos and messages. It’s clear that he feels comfortable and happy while he’s there. I truly appreciate the love and attention she gives him. Highly recommend!”
“Super nice and friendly, gives updares and provides pictures every day and flexible on pickup and drop off times. Definitely recommend 💯 and will leave my dogs with her any day.”
“This was my first time ever using a service like Rover. Lee Ann made this process a joy. I received text and video updates consistently (and this calmed my nerves… I was confident my fur-baby was in good hands). I have no hesitation in re-booking with Lee Ann.”
“Lark took wonderful care of our pups for two weeks, and we couldn’t be happier with the experience! Her home was clean, comfortable, and welcoming, and it was clear that our dogs were well cared for and treated like part of the family. Lark also shared photos and videos with us every day, which gave us complete peace of mind while we were away. We highly recommend her to anyone looking for a trustworthy, caring, and dependable person to watch their dogs!”
“I'm extremely picky about where I'll leave Remi. He's very high energy and very sensitive to new environments. He gets sick and loses weight at traditional kennels (learned this the hard way) so we don't use them. This was just a quick weekend trip, but we got lots of pictures & updates and picked up a happy, healthy, & very tired pup tonight :) Definitely recommend!!”
“Otis loved staying with Jasmyne and her dogs. Her mum's huge labradoodle and he got on great. He was a tired boy when he got back. Great communication, and nice set up in the house too - highly recommended.”
“Our dog seemed to enjoy her time at Summer's! We received photos during our trip, which we really appreciated. She lives on a lot of open space with a big backyard, which was perfect for our high energy pup.”
“Shelby was awesome. Got in touch with her at the last minute to watch my baby and she went above and beyond to help me. LJ seemed to love her and I felt so safe leaving her with Shelby. Will definitely ask Shelby to watch her again if I am ever in the area. Thank you again Shelby. Gave this fur baby Mom a peace of mind while I was away”
“Piper and Chloe give Katie a five star review. They enjoyed staying with Katie so much! They were spoiled rotten and they will definitely be going back to visit again on our next trip! I got a lot of updates and pics and things 1000x better than a loud kennel at the vet! Highly, highly recommend!”
“Avery is absolutely wonderful! She’s so sweet and caring, and my dog Munch loves going to her house. He felt comfortable right away and got along perfectly with her cats—no issues at all. It’s clear that Avery has a natural way with animals and provides a warm, welcoming environment. I always feel at ease knowing Munch is happy and well cared for with her. Highly recommend!”
“Great experience. It's easy to see right away that Stephanie is an animal lover. We will definitely use her again! Thank you so much Stephanie. I think Casey is already missing you.”
“We would highly recommend Tracy for keeping your dog. He and his wife Tammy treated our dog Spirit like she was theirs. She was allowed most any where in the house. Tracy did her favorite thing by walking her 4 times a day. He gave us progress reports an pictures every day. So that we didn’t miss her quite as bad. We will definitely be leaving her with him again.”
“Sherry is an amazing caregiver. Our dogs are a bonded pair and she took extra care with that in mind. She kept up to date each day with pictures and how they were doing. Sherry is so loving and sweet and truly cares for her furry guests. Highly recommended Sherry if your looking for a trustworthy and loving pet provider.”
“Cassidee was great! She kept an amazing line of communication and kept us posted on all our dogs activities and day to day! We look forward to having our dog visit with her again. Thank you!”
“John & Missy were great with my Jack Russell pup. They kept us in communication throughout the entire time plus kept him busy and active. My pup had so much fun with them he literally stared at their home while we were leaving after pickup. I highly recommend them to anyone who is thinking about using their service. They even gave us a parting gift and tips on how to manage our pup when we picked him up. Also this was a last minute situation for us having to leave town in an emergency situation, they were very sweet and professional and took great care of us during short notice, Missy stayed up late to ensure we would not go without help during this time which we really appreciate them for being patient and helping us.”

“Emily is so dependable! I couldn’t be happier! She is quick to respond, and she goes above and beyond to care for our Herc. I am so thankful for Emily and her desire to care for our pets!”
“We are returning clients with Almu . (She is compassionate and responds promptly to any questions we may have, while on our trip. She sends us pictures of him each visit. We totally trust her with our Pup!!!”
“Kayla was awesome and provided us with updates that made me feel so much better about being away! We have one kitty that likes to hide and is very scared and she even made sure to find her and let us know she was okay. Thank you so much for taking care of our 3 kitties!!!”
“If you love updates like I do Ashleigh is your girl! She took great care of our two cats we had to go out of town & just adopted an 8 week old not ideal but she made it so easy. Not only did our older cat “criminal newt” I’m sure you can deduce from the name she’s not the sweetest but ash won her heart & got snuggles… so rare but she loved on our baby boy. Ashleigh took her time to get to know what each one of our babies needed & wanted she took great care of both of them I would definitely recommend oh & she left me with a clean house!!!”
“I couldn’t be happier with the care Sally provided for my cats while I was out of town for Thanksgiving! This was my first time leaving them with her and I was a bit nervous, but she exceeded all expectations. When I returned, everything was clean and tidy, and my cats were as happy and relaxed as ever. I am so grateful to have found her, and would highly recommend Sally to anyone looking for a reliable pet sitter.”
“Limor did an amazing job caring for my cat with PICA. They followed all instructions perfectly, kept me updated, and ensured his safety and happiness. Highly recommend for anyone needing a caring, attentive pet sitter.”
“Stephanie has been absolutely amazing with my dog! He is scared of pretty much everything, not just new people, so it can take a lot of patience and understanding for him to truly feel comfortable. Stephanie took the time to get to know him, learn what makes him comfortable, and let him warm up to her on his own terms. She never rushed him and always goes above and beyond to make sure he feels safe and cared for. She is so sweet, patient, and genuinely concerned about his comfort and well-being. That means so much to me because I know my dog isn’t always the easiest to win over. Knowing that Stephanie is willing to put in the extra time and effort to make him feel secure gives me so much peace of mind when I’m away. I’m extremely grateful to have found her, and I will absolutely be using her again! I highly recommend Stephanie to anyone looking for someone who will truly care for their pet like their own. ❤️🐾”
“Tracy is a fantastic dog sitter! I recently hired Tracy to look after my two dogs, Dixie and Kaya, while I was away, and he absolutely exceeded my expectations. From the very first communication, Tracy was professional, responsive, and genuinely enthusiastic about caring for them. He arrived on time for every feeding, and play session and sent daily updates with photos and messages so I never had to worry. If you're looking for a reliable, caring sitter, I highly recommend Tracy. My dogs were in great hands, and I'll definitely be booking him again the next time I travel. Thanks, Tracy!”
“Natasha was a fantastic sitter for our boys! She was very communicative and kind. We came home to some very happy kitties after she watched them. Cannot recommend her enough!”

I have also cared for classmates' cats, including providing food, companionship, and attention while they were away.

“What a wonderful experience Ziggy had with Tracey! My furry boy can be a little anxious in new environments, but his sitter was absolutely amazing.

About: My husband and I have both grown up with many different dog breeds. We’ve recently adopted two puppies, and went through the process of training them to where they are now. From potty training from 8 weeks, to leash and recall training we’ve learned the patience and methods to correctly instill these habits into our pets. We’ve helped both friend and families by taking care of their pets when they are away for travel, handling dogs ranging from miniature chihuahuas to Great Danes, and every age group including senior dogs. We’ll make sure your pet gets the best care, wether that be from previous experiences we’ve had or by learning something new so your dog is always happy!

Our dogs eat at 6:30am, play till 7:30am, potty break from 11am-1pm, at 3pm dogs are let out to play and dinner at 5pm, bed time is 8pm

“Fantastic dog walker who’s very comfortable around working dog breeds (hard to find!). Extremely reliable, excellent communication, punctual and honest! I love that she’s active in the AKC training clubs so she’s not only comfortable with solid obedience training but agility as well. This is key for our family to have a sitter who has more advanced experience than the typical rover dog walker. It adds a lot more peace of mind for consistent training and behavior expected with my dobie, even under the care of someone else when I am away. My Doberman is very comfortable which says a lot as she doesn’t connect with everyone so I am thrilled they click so well and she gets the wiggles when she sees her but also listens to her commands and has respect for Almu. I appreciate the tender care Almu has taken and no detail overlooked. I am a high maintence dog owner and Almu went well above and beyond! I’m going to be using her dog walking services long term. She even took care to take my dobie hiking in the rain so not a single potty break or exercise routine was missed. Very grateful!”
About: I’ve taken care of dogs of every size, shape, and breed since I was roughly 8. What sets me apart from other sitters is that I’m very reasonably priced, and as a veterinary technician of 5+ years and a graduate of Jefferson State’s Veterinary Technology program, I have the specialized training for giving medications and what to do should an emergency arise! I am familiar with emergency medicine and have worked in an ER setting for almost a year. I’m currently taking a break from veterinary medicine to study for my state licensing exam to become a licensed veterinary technician! This has freed my schedule up to provide more care for pets! My weekends are considerably more free but I can provide morning or afternoon/evening drop ins! I have a large yard that is completely fenced! I crate my own pets when I am not home so I am happy to stop in and let your crated pets out for potty breaks! I adhere to feeding/bathroom/medication schedules to a T.
About: I've taken care of dogs, cats, tortoises, spiders, chickens, fish and ferrets. I'm open minded and love to serve animals. I love pet care as much as I love child care essentially. I'm self employed part time, The rest of the time is freeform art/ music time for me. This lifestyle makes it easy for me to pet sit because I make my own schedule. I also enjoy having more time to just sit and care for a pet because it's a chance to slow down and be present. I do well in clients homes, I've been a trusted house sitter for a couple years and I've house say I'm new York, California, Georgia and now Alabama. I follow instructions well and I treat animals with equal care to a human.

About: I've had a variety of pets over the years! Currently I have three cats, and one snake. I am well versed in caring for dogs, cats, snakes, birds, and isopods. I'm better with animals than I am humans a lot of the time hahaha. I also have two kids, one just left for college, and the other is 13. Currently I have a part-time job as a preschool teacher. Being part time leaves me with a lot of flexibility for care schedules. I will do my best to make sure that I meet all scheduling needs of each client, and openly communicate any conflict in advance. I care for animals however they need. Each animal is an individual and deserves to be treated as such. It's important to me to listen, and follow directions provided, as well as assessing each situation and the animal. My goal is to make sure that I am giving each pet the proper care. That can only happen with open communication with the pet parents.

I tune in quickly to each pet’s vibe so they feel safe, happy, and genuinely cared for. Pet care fits easily into my daily routine. I structure my days with flexibility so I can be present, attentive, and consistent with visits, walks, and care throughout the week. I have a flexible schedule and am available just about every day of the week with enough notice. I provide care exclusively in my clients’ homes so pets can stay in their familiar environment and routines.

About: I love animals and have been around them my whole life. Dogs and cats are my passion and I like being able to help others. I also like going for walks and exercising. I understand needing help with fur babies when you have to be away from home, so I would love to assist other people with this. I work at night so I'm usually available to drop by early morning or afternoons to early nights. I'm also pretty flexible and willing to work with you if need be.

About: I love making sure pups of all ages are well taken care of. I have always been great with walks, baths, and tiring them out for when you get home. I am a working pet auntie so I know how hard it is to tire out babies after working all day or needs a break on a weekend. I am available all day on national holidays and weekends with enough notice. While out of the home, I am always very vigilant and am very great about keeping an eye on your baby and the surroundings. I have a pup of my own if your baby ever needs some companionship.
About: What sets me apart is the level of personalized, reliable care I give to every pet. I focus on keeping your cat or dog comfortable in their own home, which reduces stress and keeps their routine consistent. As a full-time student with a flexible schedule, I’m able to offer frequent check-ins, great communication, and real-time updates so you always know how your fur baby is doing. I’m experienced with both cats and dogs, including pets who are shy, anxious, or need a little extra patience. I’m also comfortable caring for puppies who need structure and consistency, as well as senior pets who may require a gentler pace, medication reminders, and closer attention. Your pet’s safety is my priority, and I always treat your home with respect and care. Pet care fits smoothly into my daily and weekly routine because I balance school and work with a schedule that’s still very flexible. I’m able to plan my work shifts and classes around the visits I book, which lets me give each pet focused, unrushed attention. I keep my calendar organized so I never overbook myself, and I make sure I have plenty of availability for morning, afternoon, and evening check-ins. Even with a busy schedule, I prioritize communication, consistency, and reliability so your pets get the best care while you’re away. I focus on making sure your pets feel safe, comfortable, and completely cared for in their own familiar environment. When I’m in your home, I follow your pet’s routine exactly, and feeding schedules, litter box care, walks, playtime, and any special instructions you provide. I always take time to bond with your pet at their pace, whether they’re energetic, shy, or need a little extra patience. I refresh water, deep-clean litter boxes when needed, tidy up any messes, and make sure your home is left just as you expect. I’m also attentive to changes in behavior, appetite, or mood and will update you regularly with pictures and notes so you always know how your furry friend is doing. My goal is to give your pet comfort and consistency while giving you peace of mind.
About: I have had pets of my own since I was little, such as dogs, cats, and rodents! I have experience with elderly dogs and puppies, as well as all ages of cats.

“This was my first time ever using a service like Rover. Lee Ann made this process a joy. I received text and video updates consistently (and this calmed my nerves… I was confident my fur-baby was in good hands). I have no hesitation in re-booking with Lee Ann.”
“Lark took wonderful care of our pups for two weeks, and we couldn’t be happier with the experience! Her home was clean, comfortable, and welcoming, and it was clear that our dogs were well cared for and treated like part of the family. Lark also shared photos and videos with us every day, which gave us complete peace of mind while we were away. We highly recommend her to anyone looking for a trustworthy, caring, and dependable person to watch their dogs!”
“I'm extremely picky about where I'll leave Remi. He's very high energy and very sensitive to new environments. He gets sick and loses weight at traditional kennels (learned this the hard way) so we don't use them. This was just a quick weekend trip, but we got lots of pictures & updates and picked up a happy, healthy, & very tired pup tonight :) Definitely recommend!!”
“Otis loved staying with Jasmyne and her dogs. Her mum's huge labradoodle and he got on great. He was a tired boy when he got back. Great communication, and nice set up in the house too - highly recommended.”
“Our dog seemed to enjoy her time at Summer's! We received photos during our trip, which we really appreciated. She lives on a lot of open space with a big backyard, which was perfect for our high energy pup.”
“Shelby was awesome. Got in touch with her at the last minute to watch my baby and she went above and beyond to help me. LJ seemed to love her and I felt so safe leaving her with Shelby. Will definitely ask Shelby to watch her again if I am ever in the area. Thank you again Shelby. Gave this fur baby Mom a peace of mind while I was away”
“Avery is absolutely wonderful! She’s so sweet and caring, and my dog Munch loves going to her house. He felt comfortable right away and got along perfectly with her cats—no issues at all. It’s clear that Avery has a natural way with animals and provides a warm, welcoming environment. I always feel at ease knowing Munch is happy and well cared for with her. Highly recommend!”
“Great experience. It's easy to see right away that Stephanie is an animal lover. We will definitely use her again! Thank you so much Stephanie. I think Casey is already missing you.”
“We would highly recommend Tracy for keeping your dog. He and his wife Tammy treated our dog Spirit like she was theirs. She was allowed most any where in the house. Tracy did her favorite thing by walking her 4 times a day. He gave us progress reports an pictures every day. So that we didn’t miss her quite as bad. We will definitely be leaving her with him again.”
About: I’ve taken care of dogs of every size, shape, and breed since I was roughly 8. What sets me apart from other sitters is that I’m very reasonably priced, and as a veterinary technician of 5+ years and a graduate of Jefferson State’s Veterinary Technology program, I have the specialized training for giving medications and what to do should an emergency arise! I am familiar with emergency medicine and have worked in an ER setting for almost a year. I’m currently taking a break from veterinary medicine to study for my state licensing exam to become a licensed veterinary technician! This has freed my schedule up to provide more care for pets! My weekends are considerably more free but I can provide morning or afternoon/evening drop ins! I have a large yard that is completely fenced! I crate my own pets when I am not home so I am happy to stop in and let your crated pets out for potty breaks! I adhere to feeding/bathroom/medication schedules to a T.
“Cassidee was great! She kept an amazing line of communication and kept us posted on all our dogs activities and day to day! We look forward to having our dog visit with her again. Thank you!”
“John & Missy were great with my Jack Russell pup. They kept us in communication throughout the entire time plus kept him busy and active. My pup had so much fun with them he literally stared at their home while we were leaving after pickup. I highly recommend them to anyone who is thinking about using their service. They even gave us a parting gift and tips on how to manage our pup when we picked him up. Also this was a last minute situation for us having to leave town in an emergency situation, they were very sweet and professional and took great care of us during short notice, Missy stayed up late to ensure we would not go without help during this time which we really appreciate them for being patient and helping us.”
About: I've cared for dogs for many years through my own pets, regularly caring for friends' and family members' dogs, and volunteering with animals at a shelter. During college, I frequently watched dogs/cats for classmates while they were away, including providing feeding, walks, playtime, and general supervision. I also provided extended care for an active-duty military friends dog while they were deployed. I currently have my own dog and am comfortable following individual routines and making sure pets are safe, happy, and well cared for. I’m primarily available Friday evenings through Sunday, with my weekend availability running until around 7 PM on Sunday. I can also accommodate shorter weekday visits, such as potty breaks or walks, between approximately 6–8 PM when needed (just send a message first!). I work full-time during the week, so I’m mainly a weekend sitter and am happy to provide consistent weekend care. I take pet safety and individual routines seriously and will follow your instructions for feeding, walks, medications, and other care needs. For drop-in visits, I can provide potty breaks, neighborhood walks, or supervised playtime, including trips to the dog park when appropriate. I have my own friendly dog, Millie, so dogs staying in my home would need to be comfortable around other dogs. I live in an apartment, so dogs in my care get regular outdoor walks and supervised exercise.
About: I lost my two dogs back to back within the past few years and my heart is empty but not ready to get a new dog. I’m retired from the Air Force and a stay ant home mom and have lots of time to care for pets . I’m very active and absolutely love dogs and understand the crucial importance of exercise and activity to their health. Available currently weekends and evenings only since I work full time. I am planning on retiring next year at which time I will be ready to try this full time. I will respect and follow instructions exactly as a former pet owner, I understand how important it is to follow owner’s wishes when it comes to pet care.
