“Our fur-son had a great time with Jennifer! She sent us daily pics & updates on how he was doing! She even took him to the doggy park! We will be leaving him with her again if need someone to watch him.”
“Miss Jennifer was wonderful! I was glad she suggested a meet and greet before the stay. She was easy to communicate with and kept in touch during Gabby’s stay with pics and videos. Was understanding about medication. I felt like she spoiled my baby even more than me! I would highly recommend and will use her again for sure!”
“Finding Whitney was an absolute blessing! We had a beach trip that kinda came out of nowhere with a 10~ week old puppy that also jumped in our lives unexpectedly and we needed somewhere for him to stay while we were gone! I had never used Rover before but I knew our puppy, Bubba, was not old enough to stay at a boarding facility so I thought I would try it out. Bubba had a blast and I always looked forward to the videos Whitney would send me of him playing with her sweet dog, Pearl! For anyone that has a young puppy, I highly recommend Whitney cause if he had been at a boarding facility he wouldn’t have been able to play and get all his puppy energy out!”
“I could not ask for a better caregiver for my baby than Talhia. She treated my boy like her very own and provided incredible updates and really useful feedback that I can implement at home. You absolutely can’t beat her level of skill and knowledge! 10/10!”
“Audrey is fantastic! She took such great care of Mylo and even stayed with him overnight. My fur baby loves being with her, and she’s always so thoughtful and attentive to his needs. Thank you, Audrey!”
“Jamie did an outstanding job keeping our little Toby while we were lot of town! We will definitely leave our puppy with Jamie next time we travel! We highly recommend Jamie!”
“Ally was so amazing with my Goose! She absolutely loved playing with all her goldens! Ally was super responsive to any question or text I sent and also sent daily updates with pictures! Will definitely be rebooking with Ally, she’s a wonderful person to watch your babies!”

“Absolutely amazing!! My baby has real bad separation anxiety and I was nervous to have to board her, but Morgan kept me constantly updated and made my Sophie May as comfortable as possible! I will definitely be booking again next time we go out of town!”
“She was great. House was clean, doggie updates were adorable and pups came home happy and bathed. Be really specific on pick up and drop off times well in advance and this is a perfect sitter”
“Danielle was in every sense excellent. She was far more capable than myself of watching these guys and was so chilled out during their entire stay as if to say, “don’t worry, i’ve got it.” My guys, Robby and Zoe, would exceedingly recommend that you book her at once. Thank you.”
About: Over the past six years, I have provided reliable, dedicated care for dogs of various sizes and needs, including managing multi-day house sittings and extended week-long stays.

“Savannah is an outstanding sitter! She takes initiative to problem solve any scenario (cat tipping over automatic feeder or kitties still in introduction phase). She is caring, and is kittie leash knowledgeable! My boys are even getting along better now. Savannah will be my go to sitter in the future for sure.”

“Isabella is hands down the best pet sitter I’ve had the privilege of hiring. She was very flexible with my last minute needs, her communication is top tier, and If there was ever a problem (my fault) she was good at letting me know. My puppy is a big fan of her per the daily photos I received. She has won me over as a repeat client and I look forward to taking another trip without the stress of worrying about my puppy’s needs. Thank you again, Isabella! (:”

I understand how important it is to have someone you trust with your pet, and I’m here to help with calm, dependable care. I’m currently a student at the University of Alabama with a light class load, just about 2 hours a day. This gives me plenty of flexibility to dedicate time to pet care, whether it’s walks, dropins, or extended stays. Being from Birmingham, I’m familiar with the area and love spending time with pets when I’m not in class Whether I’m caring for pets in my home or yours, their safety and comfort always come first.

About: I have grown up always having a pet in the house so I very quickly found a love for animals, specifically dogs. I understand that dogs can differ in personality and I have a good idea on how to deal with certain behaviors, especially being a pet owner myself. P.S. I had to leave my fur baby while away at school so I would love to take care of yours! I'm currently working part-time as well as attending The University of Alabama but I will have plenty of time for your fur babies! I will be providing services primarily in the mornings as that is what works best for my schedule. I will be available between the hours of 6am-11am. I am focusing on dog-walking but I will occasionally provide drop in services as well, so I will follow any instructions I am given regarding caring for a pet in the client's home.
“Catherine was amazing! She went above and beyond to make sure that my pups were well taken care of while my husband and I were away. Both of my dogs suffer from separation anxiety, and she did everything she could to make the both of them feel comfortable. She sent daily updates with photos at each drop in to let me know how they were doing!”
About: About Us: We’re a dog-loving couple with experience caring for our own pups and others’. We offer a calm, loving home with a fenced yard and give lots of attention. We’re home most evenings and weekends, and we’re happy to stick to your dog’s routine to the best of ability. Whether it’s cuddles, fetch, or medication needs—we’ve got it handled! Why We Do This: We know how important it is to find someone you trust. Our dogs are part of our family, and we treat your fur baby the same way! We both work full-time during the day, but pet care still fits naturally into our routine. Mornings and evenings are structured and calm—ideal for play time in the backyard, feeding, and one-on-one time with your pup. Your dog will get plenty of attention before the day starts, and once we’re home, our evenings are dedicated to winding down with our pets. Weekends are usually spent at home, giving us time for longer playtime and cuddles. With our love for animals and established routines, your dog will feel safe, cared for, and part of our little family. If we visit your home, we will be sure to take care of your animal before and after our work day-as needed. We have a fenced in backyard, two dogs for company (a dog fence in the house if they you’re not comfortable with them mingling), and we will spoil your dog-just like we do ours! Our dogs have prescription food, need special care, and medicine, so those things are not unfamiliar to us!

I am working in a salon four days out of the week but I will be available in the mornings and the evenings of any day to provide attention to your pet. Given that I have a cat of my own, I know how angry and hurt I would be if I put her in the care of someone else and she was neglected. With that being said, you can trust that I will not put you in that position! Animals are innocent and unable to communicate their needs. Not only will I provide the essentials, I will go above and beyond to make sure your pet is happy and comfortable!

About: Hi furbaby parents! 🐕❤️ Summer is here! 🥰Bring your baby for their "fur-cation" where the fun & relaxation is!😍🐶 Having to get a sitter, drop-in visit or walks scheduled for your baby can be a stressor- being away from your baby & finding your person. Well you have found your person here. I love furbabies & will take great care of your baby. 🐶♥️ To me they are our babies, & like us, they each have their own likes, dislikes, quirks & personalities. I have furkids myself & my house is setup with furbabies & safety in mind. 🥰 I have furbaby beds in several rooms, gates between doorways so in case someone wants to be alone, I can accommodate, or if your baby needs time to warm up to a new place, thats another reason to have gates, for them to meet & greet at their own pace, not rushed. I just don't like the idea of having to stay in kennels, like at the vet! Thats what brought me to Rover as a client, now a sitter myself. I have a playroom for furbaby friends with plenty of toys, beds & a fenced in backyard for supervised potty & play! On pretty days we spend as much time outside as we can. We also have elevated beds outside, 2 pup-pools, large grassy area & covered backporch with fan, patio umbrella & also a water misting fan to beat the heat! Thats a real treat! (Pup cups too!)🥰 My babies love everyone, but I know not everyone else's pups love the same things. Its important for them all feel safe & comfortable. I have kennels if needed, which we rarely use, with a spare room if needed. So if one wants to nap quietly & another wants to run & play, its no problem at all. My senior pup is 10 & will play some but mostly likes to lounge & watch the others; my twins are almost 2 & will play off & on all day, so your baby will have a great time! *I can do boarding in my home, sitter service, stop by for drop-in visit & feed/water, potty & play, or stop by & take them for a walk. I can stop by for kitty care, but cant board Ms/Mr Kitty at my house, sorry. *Ater hours pickup/drop off is no problem. My furkids are neutered/ spayed, fully vaccinated & get monthly heartworm/hookwork flea/tick prevention 💊 Prevention & good health is very important to me, as I would hope yours is taken care of also. Your baby is in good hands here, & will have plenty of playtime & treats; OR if we just want to nap, we love that too! 😊 ✨️Message me & let me know what days/times you need. Lots of love to go around.🥰 ***FIRST TIME CLIENTS: Safety for all in important. Let's set up a quick meet & greet. That way, I can get better acquainted with your baby & you, and so your baby isn't meeting me as a stranger on our first day of stay, but I understand sometimes its not an option for whatever reason, & thats okay. We will be glad to have you! **We will meet in a Public/Safe place. Thanks & hope to see you & your babies soon! 🥰UPDATE: Rover makes 20% of all earnings, I offer discounted or locked in rates for my Repeat clients or Regulars; I even do some private pay clients. I take care of furkids a little more "extra" than many furparents, I've been told! But to me that's a compliment! Bc being furbaby lover, I believe in real loving care, not just meeting basic needs. 🐕 🐈 🦮 COME STAY & PLAY!🥰🐶❤️ I work locally & have recent changes in my schedule which gives me more availability. I also have my own precious furbabies at home, so it's not a new task. I would manage the same way I do for my own. So let me know what you need & I will get you on my calendar! And Thank you for inquiring with me. And much thanks to my current Regulars & for all the wonderful comments & reviews! I appreciate you all so much & I'm always here, so book early, as I only keep a few babies at a time, for adequate, attentive care! I have a treated fenced in back yard for our Supervised play & potty & security cameras in & outside my home for safety. Update: Please ensure your furbabies are up to date on vaccines. Cameras on and within property for safety. *I thought this should go in the safety area: I'm no stranger to the area. I'm originally from Fayette County. I have family here in Northport, Coker & Tuscaloosa. So, I am a lifelong local to the area, and have a complete background attached to my profile & also have updated Government Clearance. So rest assured, your baby is safe with me.
“I really appreciate Morgan. My schedule unfortunately almost caused a conflict with hers and she still went above and beyond to make sure Max enjoyed himself. Even as I picked Max up he continued to attempt to leave the car to go back with her, I could tell he enjoyed himself with her dog as well. Very appreciative! Definitely reach out to her about your fur baby.”
About: I understand what it means to leave your dog in someone else's care. That’s why your furry friend won’t just be a guest—they’ll be treated like family, with personalized care and lots of love. I currently don’t have pets at home, which allows me to provide exclusive attention to the dogs I care for. My furry family is in Mexico, my home country, and since I travel frequently, I can’t have them with me. This has only strengthened my dedication to care for other people’s pets with love, respect, and responsibility. I mostly work with repeat clients throughout the year. This helps me truly get to know each dog—their routines, their likes and dislikes—and make them feel calm and at home. Even though I’m still learning English, I always find ways to communicate clearly—using tools or translation support when needed. I’m committed to making every family feel heard, safe, and confident. If you're looking for someone to care for your dog as if they were their own—with love, respect, and dedication—I'm here to help! 💕 Pet care fits perfectly into my routine because I am passionate about their well-being. I plan my days flexibly to meet their needs, ensuring they get plenty of playtime, exercise, and companionship. Additionally, I organize my schedule to provide them with a safe and comfortable environment. I make sure each pet feels safe, comfortable, and well cared for according to their individual needs. In my clients' homes, I follow their usual routines to minimize stress for the pet, ensuring they receive the attention and companionship they need. Additionally, I maintain constant communication with the owners to give them peace of mind while they are away.
“Alicia is so sweet! She was so good with my two pups. We used her for daycare and she sent me so many pics! She has a backyard which is great for our more energetic dog. Her dog and her kids were super friendly and gentle with our dogs. I could tell my babies were exhausted from when we got in the car.”
About: I’m a long time animal lover. I have been a trusted pet sitter for years through friends and referrals, now I’d like to offer reliable, professional care to my neighbors and community. My schedule is extremely flexible. I can board, I can go to you as needed, I have the time to take your pet out often and make sure they get all the zoomies out before they return home. I provide a clean, safe, and calm environment where your dog can relax and feel at home. I’m attentive, reliable, and prioritize safety, structure, and clear communication at all times.
“Thank you so much for taking care of our Pikey!! You showed up last minute when we didn’t know what we were going to do with her when we were both at work. She has come a long way in her puppy development thanks to you. We highly recommend you to anyone who is thinking of booking you as a sitter!”
“Zoe was a life saver for us! She was able to keep Charlie on short notice and provide great updates and took great care of him. I would definitely recommend her to anyone!”
About: I’ve taken care of dogs for the last 8 years my brothers two dogs along with the three dogs I had growing up. I love dogs, they truly know how to turn any bad day into a good one. I currently call high school sports but other than that I’m always at home, if known in advance I can always take time off and be available at anytime I have a huge front and back yard, I there aren’t any dogs in the house at the current time but I do dog sit for my brother so there are times when other family friendly dogs will be in the house.
“Samantha did an amazing job! She was very accommodating as our drop off time was very last minute. She sent updates and we felt like our pup was in great hands the whole time. We will definitely reach out again when we are back in the area.”
About: I got my first family dog at the age of 12 and he was a 100 pound chocolate Labrador named Max. When I moved to Germany, I was not allowed to take him so he currently lives with my brother. After moving back to the US, I got my own toy poodle at the age of 16 named Eymber and was completely responsible for her. Once I moved to college, I got her a puppy named Koko and they absolutely love eachother. Eymber is now 5 years old and koko is 1. Occasionally, I stop by the Tuscaloosa animal shelter to volunteer and I love being the reason a pup was happy that day. I love my babies and all fur babies more than anything in the world!!💛 I graduated from the University of Alabama in December of 2024. I’m a stay at home wife while my spouse works at the Alberta elementary school of performing arts so I’ll have plenty of time to cafe for your pups. I have a small fenced in backyard and 2 adult toy poodles who are very sweet to everyone. I live in a small neighborhood with tons of space to take walks/runs. I also prefer a gentle approach when correcting behavior and I believe crates should be a safe space rather than punishment.
“Ansley and her fur baby, Koda have been amazing! Solo has had a blast 3 different play dates while we’ve been in Tuscaloosa! We received lots of pictures and videos of Solo having a wonderful time! Communication was awesome! We look forward to our next trip to Alabama so Solo can visit his friends again!”
About: I’ve taken care of all types of dogs since I was the age of 11. My first pup was a chihuahua. I’ve also cared for German shepherds, pitbulls, bullies, Great Danes, Rottweiler to many others and smaller. Pet care fits my schedule because I am a stay at home girlie. I’m currently working free lance so I have plenty of time and attention to give. I do not have a fenced in yard, however there is plenty of space to walk around and I will keep all pets on a leash. Also willing to go to dog parks and things as such.
About: I am currently a student at UA and am the proud owner of a dog named Raymond, a sweet boxer/hound mix who is friendly with all other dogs. Having grown up surrounded by both dogs and cats, animals hold a special place in my heart. I am committed to providing open communication, sending regular updates and photos, so you can enjoy peace of mind while you’re away! I take the time to understand each pet’s unique personality, preferences, and routines, allowing me to provide the best care possible—whether it’s playtime, walks, or quiet companionship! I understand that pet owners need to trust the person caring for their loved ones. I have a history of being reliable and punctual, with positive references from clients who can attest to my dedication and integrity. My flexible nature allows me to adapt to different situations and the needs of various pets. Whether it's accommodating last-minute requests or adjusting care routines based on a pet's mood or energy level, I’m always ready to help. In my home, I provide a safe, spacious environment with designated areas for play, rest, and feeding. I ensure all pet-proofing measures are in place and maintain a routine that includes regular exercise, socialization, and mental stimulation through games and training. At a client’s home, I follow their established routines and guidelines closely, ensuring their pet feels comfortable and secure.
“Alysse was very accommodating, communicated consistently, and sent updates with photos. I had a last minute need for my pups to have some supervision and company and she was super understanding. Thanks so much. Would definitely book again :)”

About: Hi, I’m Aly! My house was never empty growing up—I was raised in a home full of cats, which taught me how to respect and care for even the pickiest feline personalities. At the same time, I’ve always been the go-to dog walker for my friends and family, and I've recently taken that passion professional. Currently, I’m active on Wag!, where I’ve completed multiple successful walks and have already secured a repeat client who trusts me with their dog’s daily exercise. I’m excited to expand to Rover to offer that same high level of care to both dog and cat owners in the Tuscaloosa area! As a flexible independent worker, my schedule is my own, which means I can easily prioritize your pet’s routine! Whether it’s a mid-day check-in or a last-minute visit, I have the freedom to be there when you can’t. When I’m not hanging out with your pets, you’ll usually find me curled up with a book or learning a new skill. Since I value a calm and relaxed environment, I’m the perfect match for your pet who enjoy a peaceful presence or a quiet companion to sit with them while they nap. I focus on providing personalized care that matches your pet’s unique energy level. Whether I’m visiting for a drop-in or staying overnight, my priority is maintaining the routine that makes them feel safe and happy.
“I contacted Catherine at the very last minute because Wag canceled 30 minutes prior to a scheduled walk. Catherine was awesome. She came right over and took Stella on a walk for me. She sent me pictures and kept me updated. I won’t be booking a walk with Wag ever again... I will be using Catherine instead!”
About: What sets me different from others is the genuine connections I have with Dogs. A Dog is a man bestfriend and I love that quote. I single handedly trained all my dogs and others. Took time out to build that trust, connection, and loyalty to make sure we trust each other and be there for each other. I currently just graduated school. I went to Troy University out of high school and transferred to the University of Mississippi for my final year. Right now I have alot of free time on my hands and can work around any schedule. I care for pets the same way I care for a human. But also with the understanding the dog has to know your the “Top Dog” in a sense so it knows to respect you and not turn against you.

I prioritize every pet’s safety and comfort by following the owner’s instructions closely, using secure leashes and harnesses during walks, and ensuring gates and doors are always properly closed. During home visits, I’ll provide fresh water, feed pets as directed, give them plenty of attention and exercise, and make sure the home is left exactly as I found it. I’ll also keep owners updated with messages and photos so they know their pet is happy and well cared for!

“Absolutely amazing!! My baby has real bad separation anxiety and I was nervous to have to board her, but Morgan kept me constantly updated and made my Sophie May as comfortable as possible! I will definitely be booking again next time we go out of town!”
“She was great. House was clean, doggie updates were adorable and pups came home happy and bathed. Be really specific on pick up and drop off times well in advance and this is a perfect sitter”
“Danielle was in every sense excellent. She was far more capable than myself of watching these guys and was so chilled out during their entire stay as if to say, “don’t worry, i’ve got it.” My guys, Robby and Zoe, would exceedingly recommend that you book her at once. Thank you.”
About: Over the past six years, I have provided reliable, dedicated care for dogs of various sizes and needs, including managing multi-day house sittings and extended week-long stays.

Because I maintain a consistent schedule, you can count on me to be exceptionally punctual with feedings, check-ins, and updates.

About: Every dog is treated like family and cared for in a quiet, low-stress (300 acre) farm environment designed around their comfort and routine. With over 15 years of experience, I specialize in small-scale, boutique boarding with a very limited number of dogs at a time, ensuring close attention, consistency, and a calm atmosphere. Dogs follow a steady, predictable routine that includes outdoor time in a large fenced play area with partial shade for running and play, daily leash walks around the property, enrichment activities, and rest tailored to each dog’s individual needs and energy level. Dogs are thoughtfully matched by temperament to support a safe, comfortable environment. I have two well-socialized dogs of my own who enjoy other dogs, but interaction is always based on each visiting dog’s comfort level. If a dog prefers space or does best without other dogs, they can have a calm, low-traffic stay with minimal or no interaction. For dogs who enjoy socializing, my dogs provide friendly companionship in a supervised, relaxed setting. For dogs who do best on their own, I also offer the option of exclusive care—meaning no other client dogs will be booked during their stay. This allows for a fully personalized experience with my full attention. Dogs stay in a clean, climate-controlled indoor suite with indoor rest areas and direct access to a private fenced outdoor space. The focus is on individualized, attentive care where each dog can relax, feel secure, and settle in quickly. Caring for your dog is part of my daily routine since I’m home full-time on the 300 acre farm with the dogs throughout the day. Dogs enjoy a consistent schedule that includes outdoor play, walks, enrichment, meals, and rest, all tailored to their individual needs and energy levels. I stay hands-on with their care and provide regular updates so you feel comfortable while you're away. I provide structured, attentive care in a calm farm setting designed to help dogs feel safe and comfortable. Dogs enjoy outdoor play, leash walks, enrichment activities, meals, and rest breaks tailored to their individual needs and energy levels. I provide regular up-dates with photos and videos, and you can check in any time to see how your pup is doing. Dogs have access to a clean, climate-controlled indoors, which is especially helpful for dogs who need their own space or do best with limited interaction. Since I also have two dogs of my own, I carefully manage introductions and can provide fully separate accommodations with no direct contact with other dogs if needed. There’s also a separate large fenced and partially shaded outdoor area where dogs can safely play, explore, and relax throughout the day.
About: I’m a long time animal lover. I have been a trusted pet sitter for years through friends and referrals, now I’d like to offer reliable, professional care to my neighbors and community. My schedule is extremely flexible. I can board, I can go to you as needed, I have the time to take your pet out often and make sure they get all the zoomies out before they return home.
