“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.”
“Katie and her family did a wonderful job of making our Stella feel at home. She kept us updated with pictures and texts the entire time. It made us feel good that they said they would miss her when she left. Would definitely recommend and use again!”
“Another wonderful stay with Jessica! She treats my puppy like her own. We are so grateful for her updates throughout our trip and the detailed report she provides when we return home. She’s the best and has a lovely home full of love and toys.”
“Melody and Nala really love to stay at Kristen’s house. Kristen and her family are really prepare to take care of our dogs and are so nice and loving with Melody and Nala. We are lucky to have found Kristen 🙌🏻”
“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!”
“Opal was incredible and I will definitely use her services when going out of town again! My sweet dog is 11 years old and has very bad arthritis but she took the best care of him and loved him like he was her own, and he had a great time! It’s so relieving when you find someone who will love and take care of your pet just as you do at home and will keep you updated with photos and videos each day. 5-stars!”
“I am absolutely blown away at how wonderful Randy was for our little Princess Poppy. She was made to feel part of his family and home. She loved it so much she didn’t want to leave. He took her to dog parks and even went shopping for more special stuffy toys, he sent pics and videos daily. He communicated very well. We will definitely be reaching out for Pet sitting services again.”
“⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Sac was wonderful with my dog, April! She took great care of him and kept me updated with messages and photos, which gave me peace of mind while I was away. April came home happy, healthy, and well cared for. It was clear that Sac treated him like her own dog. I highly recommend her to anyone looking for a reliable, caring, and trustworthy pet sitter. Thank you, Sac, for taking such great care of April!”
“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.”
“Kyler has watched my dog a few times now and has been absolutely amazing. He gets plenty of playtime with her and other pups. Always great communication and she always sends lots of pictures”
“Booked a Sitter at the last minute for my Fur baby and Amanda was very responsive and accepted my booking. She was great with Majesty and sent me updates and pictures during her stay. Would definitely recommend and book again.”
“Tatiana was absolutely wonderful with our Charlie! It was our first time leaving him with a sitter while we went out of town for a week and we were extremely nervous not knowing how things would go. Tatiana kept us updated every day with messages as well as pictures and videos. We will be repeat clients!”
“Brittney was so excellent for Belle and made her weekend a wonderful one! She sent many photos during Belle’s stay which soothed my nerves while I was on vacation and was able to give me a wonderfully concise report card upon pickup. I’ll no doubt be using Brittney again in the future!”
“Our golden retriever absolutely loved his visit with Jonathan and his family. He could not have been a more perfect host and it was really nice to have a previous golden retriever owner as a Rover host.”
“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!”
“Laura was absolutely wonderful! She helped us out with a last-minute booking, was very responsive, and sent lots of pictures and updates. She and her pups are so friendly and have a wonderful home. Oakley had so much fun! We will definitely be using Laura again.”

“I knew from the moment I met Sarah that she was a cat lover. I’ve got five kitties and was away for thanksgiving week. She came by twice a day to take care of my babies, properly fed, watered, poopy scooped and played with them, sending several pics of each visit. My kitties felt comfortable with her and she engaged all of them, even my scaredy cat. We all like her very much! I was able to enjoy my trip with no worries about my kitties. I will definitely have her over again and I highly recommend this wonderful young lady!”
About: My family has spent a a long time caring for and loving cats of all ages and personalities—from playful kittens full of energy to calm, cherished senior cats who prefer quiet companionship. Each cat is treated as family in our home, with respect for their unique temperament, routines, and boundaries. I understand that cats thrive on consistency, patience, and gentle attention. Whether it’s playtime, feeding routines, litter box care, or simply providing a comforting presence, I take the time to ensure each cat feels safe, secure, and understood. Our own cat is leash-trained, reflecting the care and patience we bring to every aspect of feline responsibility. I know how important your cat’s health, comfort, and emotional well-being are, especially when your schedule keeps you busy or you’re away from home. It would be my privilege to provide dependable, compassionate cat care.
“Ashlyn provided drop in visits for our 2 dogs while we were away. She was wonderful & took such great care of them. They warmed up to her very quickly & were in great spirits when we got home. Would highly recommend!”
“Danielle is the best!! Our sweet kitties love her and she takes amazing care of them! We love having her sit for them because she’s so responsible and always sends us sweet updates which gives us peace of mind😊”
“Felicity took care of our two cats over Xmas and did a fantastic job! She’s super thorough and communicative, plus she sends great pictures 😊 We felt very comfortable leaving our kitties in her care and will definitely use her again in the future. Highly recommended!”
“Meena took very good care of my kitty boys when we were gone for vacation. We were so happy to find her after we moved to Birmingham. Like I said before, she is the best cat sitter we ever had. I can tell that she is a true animal lover, not just do it for job.”
“Sara came through for a last minute kitty reservation! I have a problem pee-er and she handled it all so great! Everything was taken care of when we got back. Would use again! So reliable. Even brought in unexpected packages. Thanks!”
“Claire was a wonderful cat sitter! She was communicative, attentive, dependable, and thorough. For our cats, having Claire visit daily was a far better option than boarding them. Her daily report card included photos, which we appreciated. We will definitely call Claire in the future.”
“Dana did a fantastic job taking care of my 2 cats. One of our cats has to take daily medication due to HCM (heart condition) and Dana was able to do that for us. We received daily photos. I worry about our pets when we are away in vacation (they are our babies) but Dana made us feel so comfortable knowing they were taken care of. She and her husband are both 10/5 star sitters! They’re both very friendly people. I highly recommend. ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️”

“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.”
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.
About: Hi friends! I believe in making sure that pets are feeling as safe and comfortable as they possibly can be especially in a new place! I would like to offer my services to your pet as a source of comfort when they are in my care! I believe in meeting their needs first from ensuring their special diets are met to having their favorite toys available! They will be under constant supervision! They will get their walkies, lots of love and treats, and plenty of outside time! I have a puppy and an older dog who are rescues. They are up to date on all their medical needs and I have learned how to positively handle all types of common behaviors with pets! I am available and home most of the time with my two kiddos! I can easily travel and be flexible to fit both pet parent and pets needs! When at my clients home, I love to be fully informed of all their pets needs as well as the pets routine. I prefer to do meet and greets ahead of time to get to the pets and the owners as well as get a brief tour of the pets area! It's important to me to gain not only the pets trust, but also that of the pet owner! If there is anything you would love extra such as a video call, pictures, or updates I love to provide those.
“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 an exceptional doggy-whisperer and caretaker, and she has been a tremendous resource for taking care of my pup with both sitting and boarding services. She is incredibly easy to work with, always thoroughly communicative, extremely accommodating and, without a doubt, well-knowledgeable and experienced in what she does. My pup is always happy and exhausted after time with Kyler, and I'm always at ease knowing that she will be well taken care of in Kyler's company. The praise in this review is absolutely well-deserved!”
“I LOVE JESSICA! She is so sweet and very informative! I think Jojo and I both look forward to seeing her every morning. I will definitely book with her every chance we can.”
“Wren had a great tume with Jennifer. I had to make thos booking last mi ute because of an urgent work thing. I was glad she was able to accomodate. This was Wren's second time and he was immediately comfortable seeing her. She is gentle with him, followed all our instructions. We'd be happy to have him do day care again”
“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: 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!

“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 !”
“Doug did a great job taking care of our dog, Paisley! We were visiting family and needed a sitter in a pinch (during a holiday weekend no less) and Doug was super quick to respond and help us out. He provided nice updates with photos, and it was clear Paisley had a great time and was well taken care of. He even took the extra effort to replace her ball when she lost it the bushes while playing outside. Would definitely use Doug again.”
“Laura is great! I will definitely book again. She was able to keep my fur baby on short notice with no hesitation. Her home was clean and welcoming with fenced in back yard perfect for pets. My pup is usually very shy, but immediately warmed up to Laura and her husband. Laura kept me up to date on how he was doing throughout the stay and sent pictures as well. She's a great sitter!”

About: I was trained how to train dogs at an early age after our first dog was trained by our breeder. Since then I trained 2 golden retrievers and an Australian Cattle dog (red heeler). Both breeds are strong willed and have high energy. I work from home and so have a lot of freedom to break away to take care of dogs. I enjoy taking care of dogs and sharing the knowledge from my experience of training and raising dogs. I have a large beautiful fenced yard, have multiple crates for use and live within walking distance of a dog park. I have kids that will make sure your dog gets lots of love while being boarded.

About: My family has spent a lifetime caring for and loving pets of all kinds, from energetic new puppies and kittens to cherished senior companions. Big or small, feathered, furry or fluffy, they are always treated as family. Our own dogs are trained using German commands, and even our cat is leash-trained, reflecting the time, patience, and care we invest in animal companionship. I understand how important your pets’ health, safety, and happiness are, and I recognize that busy schedules can make it challenging to give them the attention they need. It would be my privilege to provide dependable, compassionate care for your beloved pets and to treat them with the same love and respect I give my own. I am a homeschool mom of two independent children and many fur babies including two dogs, three cats, and a few extras. I am also a youth pastor so my schedule is flexible and late nights not a problem. I have a safe fenced yard and lots of furry companions; however, I will not be sitting animals in my home as I prefer this space to stay limited to my own.

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.

I’m used to being on the move and keeping up with each pet’s schedule. This isn’t just a side gig — it’s a big part of my life, and I’m fully committed to giving every pet the time and attention they deserve. I provide care in my clients’ homes where pets are most comfortable and relaxed. I stick to their usual routine as much as possible — whether that means feeding, walks, playtime, or giving medication. I’m big on building trust with each animal and making sure they feel safe while their person is away. I always leave things clean, double-check food and water, and send updates so you know your pet is in good hands.
About: I own a small farm. I have a lot of experience with animals of all types, big and small. I have had the privilege of being a fur mom to dogs and cats, as well as other small and large animals since I was a kid. I love on and treat all animals with kindness and plenty of love and respect. I can give medications, if needed and have plenty of time on my hands now that school is back in for my kids. I was a substitute teacher this past year. I will follow your directions for your pet 100%. You and your pet will be very satisfied with my services. I have plenty of free time to care for your pets! I am a stay at home mom and will spoil your fur babies as I do my own! I have references I can provide from vets, personal references and can pass any background or drug check. I have my own reliable vehicle and there is no dog, cat etc that I am unwilling to care for. I am very aware of my surroundings and will never put your pet in danger. I follow instructions 100%. I care for them all like they are mine.
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!
About: Hi my name is Ashley and I have a unconditional love for all dogs! I have a Jack Russell named Dallas and he is one big ball of energy. I love going on walks with my dog and occasionally hiking when weather permits. I currently walk my dog at least 4 times a day so he can stay active. I look forward to taking care of your dog as if he was my own. If you have any questions, feel free to reach out to me. As of now my schedule is completely flexible. Please reach out to me if you have any questions regarding the day and times I am available. I give all pets round the clock care throughout the day and night. I offer just about every service for dogs. Feel free to ask me any questions.

“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.”
“Katie and her family did a wonderful job of making our Stella feel at home. She kept us updated with pictures and texts the entire time. It made us feel good that they said they would miss her when she left. Would definitely recommend and use again!”
“Another wonderful stay with Jessica! She treats my puppy like her own. We are so grateful for her updates throughout our trip and the detailed report she provides when we return home. She’s the best and has a lovely home full of love and toys.”
“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!”
“Opal was incredible and I will definitely use her services when going out of town again! My sweet dog is 11 years old and has very bad arthritis but she took the best care of him and loved him like he was her own, and he had a great time! It’s so relieving when you find someone who will love and take care of your pet just as you do at home and will keep you updated with photos and videos each day. 5-stars!”
“⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Sac was wonderful with my dog, April! She took great care of him and kept me updated with messages and photos, which gave me peace of mind while I was away. April came home happy, healthy, and well cared for. It was clear that Sac treated him like her own dog. I highly recommend her to anyone looking for a reliable, caring, and trustworthy pet sitter. Thank you, Sac, for taking such great care of April!”
“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.”
“Kyler has watched my dog a few times now and has been absolutely amazing. He gets plenty of playtime with her and other pups. Always great communication and she always sends lots of pictures”
“Booked a Sitter at the last minute for my Fur baby and Amanda was very responsive and accepted my booking. She was great with Majesty and sent me updates and pictures during her stay. Would definitely recommend and book again.”
“Tatiana was absolutely wonderful with our Charlie! It was our first time leaving him with a sitter while we went out of town for a week and we were extremely nervous not knowing how things would go. Tatiana kept us updated every day with messages as well as pictures and videos. We will be repeat clients!”
“Brittney was so excellent for Belle and made her weekend a wonderful one! She sent many photos during Belle’s stay which soothed my nerves while I was on vacation and was able to give me a wonderfully concise report card upon pickup. I’ll no doubt be using Brittney again in the future!”
“Our golden retriever absolutely loved his visit with Jonathan and his family. He could not have been a more perfect host and it was really nice to have a previous golden retriever owner as a Rover host.”
“Laura was absolutely wonderful! She helped us out with a last-minute booking, was very responsive, and sent lots of pictures and updates. She and her pups are so friendly and have a wonderful home. Oakley had so much fun! We will definitely be using Laura again.”
“Wade & Morgan were fantastic hosts for our dog Boone over Memorial Day Weekend. Boone had a ball playing with their dog Atlas for 3 days. Wade and Morgan sent pictures and provided updates everyday. Would highly recommend!”
“Great experience! Everything went smoothly, communication was easy, and I really appreciated the care and attention provided. Very reliable and pleasant to work with. I would definitely recommend and book again!”
“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!”
“Our pup, Willa, had a wonderful stay with Jordyn and her pups. Willa had a great time playing with the dogs and running around the backyard. We really enjoyed the updates and pictures that Jordyn sent. Communication with her was excellent from the first meet and greet to pick up time. Willa clearly loved Jordyn.”
“Amy was wonderful with our two dogs! She very clearly spoiled them. I can tell by the pictures that they had a great time. Especially out in the back yard! She was also very accommodating with our schedule which was very much appreciated!”
“Tony took very great care of my doggie. He actually spoiled him rotten!! LOL. He can watch him anytime. I will continue to book with Tony for upcoming boarding and drop-in services.”
