“Excellent service & care!! This was our first time not only using Rover, but having a pet sitter. I highly recommend Whitney as she cared for our pupper dog like she was her own!! Thank you so much!!”
“Brittany was very attentive and took great care of my sweet little puppy. She sent lots of pics and updates and responded very quickly to my messages. I recommend her to care for furry friend or baby.”
“Lesley was such a great person to trust with my puppy. Not only did she take great care of her but she also sent photos with updates and of the dogs playing and having fun. Would recommend her to anyone looking for a sitter!”
“Matt was wonderful! He took great care of our sweet pup for a week & sent great updates of him. It made going on vacation so much less stressful knowing our dog was being well taken care of and was having such a fun time! Thank you so much Matt!”
“Amanda was absolutely amazing and Bella had such a great time being with her for the night! She was super communicative about how Bella was doing and sent me lots of pics and all around very responsive and easy to work with! Will definitely call on her again! 🌟🌟🌟🌟🌟”
“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.”
“Kristie was the perfect sitter for my dog- she gave him lots of caring attention and he had the opportunity to hang with her family and other dogs which I know he loved! Plus she has a huge backyard to play in and she sent me the cutest pics and videos that helped me feel better on my week long vacation. I’ll definitely rebook for overnights or longer stays.”
About: I’ve taken care of dogs since I was a child! From growing up with them, to helping friends and family, to fostering for shelters and rescues! I work full time, but do have allotted time to run home to let pets out/feed! My boyfriend is also a huge help to filling any gaps! I ensure all pets receive the best care! From food choice (if not provided), to toys, to play time w/ my pups (if wanted)! I provide a safe but fun environment!
“Danielle is the absolute best, and I’ll hear nothing to the contrary. This was my first time using Rover, and the sitter I originally booked cancelled on me morning of, but Danielle accepted our last minute request on a holiday weekend. I have an old dog with arthritis and medication who can be a picky eater at times, but that was no issue for Danielle. She not only made me feel at ease with constant updates and pictures, but she exercised and socialized him, and he may like her more than me now. My only regrets with this review are that everyone else will book her now and she’ll be unavailable next time we need boarding for a weekend”
“From the moment I met Jessica it was clear she was a total professional. I knew Mabel Was in great hands. Of course I would always double check before your stay, but she had a crate, food bowl etc in my poaches size so I didn’t even have to transport. Altogether would use agai.”
“Shay and Zack are absolutely wonderful with my aging cocker. He had surgery in January and Zach made a little ramp for him to access the back yard. This allowed him ease without having to pick him up and take him down the steps. It gave Charlie lots of independence. Charlie always comes home happy which is all that we can ask for. Thanks you two. We so appreciate you making Charlie part of the pack!!”

“Jade is the absolute BEST sitter. She provides detailed and timely information about your pets while you are away. It is such a relief to know they’re being cared for to such a high standard!”
“Kelly was awesome! She was professional for the meet and greet, and fantastic with our dog Lily. Lily can be a handful because she’s not good with other dogs, and large. Kelly was great managing that, and loving on her. Will definitely book with her again!”
“Madison did a fantastic job taking care of our 2 cats. She communicated very well, was thorough, and went above and beyond to make sure they were well taken care of while we were out of town. Highly recommended and will happily book with her again.”
About: With over 20 years of experience working in the veterinary field, I’m very comfortable understanding the needs of cats and how to care for them. If they need extra TLC; their own space; or medication, I’ve got them covered.
About: I have lived with cats my entire life and currently have five of them. When neighbors or family members are away, I occasionally take over to make sure they are well fed and treated. Experienced with many different types of cats; this includes kittens, aggressive, wild, neurotic and/or disabled cats.
About: I have always had dogs as pets since I was 3 years old! I had 4 growing up and have always had at least two at a time! I have a passion for caring for pets and believe all pets should be treated like our family! I do have some experience in dog first aid and will always care for your pup as my own! I work from home full time so I am able to play with the dogs and take them on walks/hike often! I have a 3 acre yard that is tucked away and an absolute oasis for dogs! I have two dogs of my own so I am already on a potty break schedule every two hours at least! I will always treat your pet like they are my family! I do let pets on furniture if that is okay with the owner and I will follow all of your instructions very carefully. I take this job very seriously and want your pet to have the best time possible! I will do everything in my power to make sure your pet is well taken care of and happy! I use Rover for my own pups when I go out of town, so I know how scary it can be to leave your pet with someone new! I will send you photos and videos throughout your stay, and you can even facetime your pet if you’d like! Whatever I can do to make your time more peaceful, please let me know 😊
“Nikki was great! She was on time and showed up everyday. My very shy, fearful of new people, cat loved her. I loved that she took pictures of him every day to assure me he was ok. So glad we found her!!!!”
“Jean is very thoughtful and puts in effort into taking care of your pets and your home while you're away. He was very loving to my cats and sent many picture updates to let me know how they were even the plants at my house! He's great would definitely book again! 💙💙💙”
About: I understand that cats often want care on their own terms! I’m comfortable with everything from a social cat who wants plenty of attention to one who prefers a little space and time to warm up. I’ll follow your cat’s normal feeding and litter routine, provide play and enrichment, administer routine care as instructed, and make sure their environment stays clean and comfortable. Most importantly, I’ll respect their personality rather than forcing interaction, and I’ll keep you updated so you can relax while you’re away.
“Ray is Great! I use him on repeat for boarding and dropping in. Great Communicator. My pup knows him and loves him. Always 5 Stars! Thanks again Ray for accepting this last booking on short notice!”

I’m always mindful of owners requests and requirements of care while also prioritizing your pets safety and comfort while in my care. I treat my own pets with love and respect and will do the same for anyone else’s.
About: I first fell in love with cats when I was a little girl. I have a pit bull and Labrador , and the rest is history. I believe my calm demeanor puts most cats at ease, even the ones I have been told are shy around new people.

I will also do daily photos of your dog sent through text messages if requested.

“Poppy is special, not just to me, but to everyone she meets so traveling with her can be a challenge. I always want to make sure she is cared for in a loving, safe, and comfortable environment. After a last-minute confirmation that I needed to be in Talladega for three days, I was extremely lucky to find Cassandra and her husband. They took wonderful care of Poppy during the day while I worked, and I was still able to have her with me overnight, which made the whole trip so much easier. Cassandra was responsive, communicative, and sent great photo updates, which gave me total peace of mind. I highly recommend her for any pet-sitting needs in the Birmingham area especially if you’re traveling between Birmingham and Talladega. Great experience all around!”
“They provided great care for our Jack Russell Terrier ! Sore was great about sending us updates and photos while our dog was at doggy day care ! I will definitely use them again!”
“Amy has been watching Greta, my very active GSP puppy, these past couple of weeks and so far it has been great.

About: I own a small kennel,Small Paws Kennel, for small to medium sized dogs in Sterrett. I currently have a few empty kennels,to be used for dog boarding and daytime care. Dogs will not be around cats,and will remain away from children if nervous or aggressive. They will be homed in a kennel with plenty of food,water,treats,and an outdoor run of their own. They will not have to interact with other dogs. I have pet sitter in the past,and try to make sure to follow notes about a dog's preference of what makes them nervous,what treats they like,any meds needed,and so forth. I'm currently staying at home to take care of and homeschool my two girls,as well as running a small kennel,so your dog will get plenty of care and attention. I make sure to check on boarded dogs daily,so that they have plenty of fresh water,food,and get a chewbone or treat daily...as well as some petting and attention. I have a small kennel. There are separate indoor kennels,with dog doors that lead out to 4*8 separated runs,so dogs are separate and safe. These runs are surrounded by a larger cattle fence,that fence in all the runs together and allows for a play yard for exercise outside of the runs. That way each dog can get out daily for some play time with toys and a small pool,for hot days.

About: I have over nine years of experience caring for dogs, including one year as a boarder. Growing up, I fostered dogs and cared for pets of all sizes and temperaments.

As an online student at UAB, I have a flexible schedule and can accommodate walks and pet care throughout any day of the week.

Whether it’s walking, exercise, feeding schedules, or crate time, I follow routines closely to keep pets happy and stress-free.

About: Hi, I’m Anna 🖤 I’m a calm, dependable pet sitter providing structured, low-stress care for dogs and cats throughout Ashville, Gadsden, Rainbow City, Southside, and nearby areas. I specialize in caring for puppies, senior dogs, anxious pets, special-needs pets, multi-pet households, and dogs who thrive with routine, patience, and clear expectations. Whether your pet needs relaxing companionship, playtime and exercise, medication support, or consistent daily routines, I focus on making every visit feel safe, comfortable, and personalized to their needs. I understand how important peace of mind is when trusting someone with your pets and home. My goal is always the same: dependable communication, reliable care, photo updates, and a calm environment where your pet feels emotionally secure while you’re away. I have experience with: • Puppies and potty training routines • Senior dog care • Oral and injected medications • Reactive or anxious dogs • Structured feeding schedules • Multi-pet households • High-energy dogs needing exercise • Calm companionship for shy pets • Crate-trained and routine-based care • Drop-ins, walks, boarding, daycare, and overnight care One of my own dogs, Velma, has been raised using calm, consistent structure both at home and in public settings. That experience taught me how much dogs benefit from patience, fairness, routine, and clear boundaries. I bring that same balanced energy into every pet care visit. Safety is extremely important to me. I use leashes or secure harnesses during outdoor time, monitor pet interactions carefully, maintain clean feeding routines, and follow household instructions closely to help keep pets safe and stress-free. A typical visit may include: • Walks or exercise • Potty breaks • Fresh food and water • Medication administration if needed • Playtime and enrichment • Calm companionship • Safety checks • Photo and Rover Card updates I know every pet has their own personality, comfort level, and routines, so I tailor care to fit what helps them feel happiest and most secure.

I believe dogs thrive best with patience, consistency, routine, and clear boundaries. I take time to learn each dog’s personality, energy level, comfort needs, and daily routine so care feels as stress-free and familiar as possible while you’re away. Safety practices include: • Secure leash and harness handling • Careful monitoring during walks and outdoor time • Slow introductions and supervised interactions • Clean feeding and water routines • Close attention to medications and instructions • Monitoring behavior, appetite, mood, and energy levels • Maintaining locked doors, gates, and household safety routines I’m especially mindful of anxious dogs, senior dogs, puppies, and pets who need extra patience or structure. Some dogs need energetic play and exercise, while others simply need calm companionship and reassurance. I tailor care to what helps your dog feel safest and most comfortable. I also know that communication builds trust. Owners can expect regular updates, photos, and honest communication throughout each booking so you always feel informed and connected while away from your pet. My goal is simple: to create a calm, reliable, and loving environment where dogs feel secure and owners feel complete peace of mind 🖤
“Sent tons of pictures which was much appreciated, very communicative and definitely made me feel at ease about my puppy! He’s so high energy and is always super crazy but he was tired when I got home after their walk/ play time! 11/10 recommend, and will definitely be booking with her again. I’ve had such terrible experiences with two other rover’s before so this was a very nice and pleasant change of pace. She definitely goes above and beyond and obviously genuinely cares so much about the dogs she takes care of.”

Pets have always been part of my family, so I understand that trusting someone with yours is a big deal. I’m patient, attentive, dependable, and comfortable following established routines for feeding, walks, playtime, medications, and all the little things that help a pet feel safe and comfortable.

I’m patient about letting pets warm up to me at their own pace and prioritize safety at all times. You can also expect dependable communication and updates while you’re away. I know how reassuring it is to know that someone you love is happy, safe, and well cared for.
About: I have lived with cats my entire life and currently own five of them. When neighbors or family members are away, I occasionally take over to make sure they are well fed and treated. Experienced with many different types of cats; this includes kittens, aggressive, wild, neurotic and/or disabled cats. I have college in the mornings Monday through Thursday, but I'm free the rest of the time. If there are any sudden inconveniences with schedule then I will notify as soon as possible. (Additionally, my name is Kuvo, but Lydia is fine. Your pet is my priority, so I hope a name will not disturb the service provided.) There are certain times for engaging with cats and certain times to provide them with distance. I hope to prevent stress while also giving them the proper attention they need. I am never too far and know where they are.
About: I have grown up with animals my entire life. Caring for animals has been my life long ambition. I understand the importance of trusting someone to care for your fur babies. My fiancé And I love training and exercising with them every day and they push us to be the best we can be. They bring so much joy and happiness to our life. I have 5 years experience pet sitting for friends and family as well. They are the support system that told me about this app. Work from home but it’s not very demanding. Extremely flexible schedule. Pets need routines just as much as humans do for a sense of calm and safety. To continue to keep your (our) fur baby safe I will keep trash cans covered or inside a latched cabinet. Move all chemicals to high shelves or behind secure doors. Keep cords, chargers, and other potentially harmful items out of reach.

I have a very open schedule at the moment and I’m very “go with the flow”. I’m willing to make accommodations or changes as needed that will give us both the best experience. I’m always mindful of owners requests and requirements of care while also prioritizing your pets safety and comfort while in my care. I treat my own pets with love and respect and will do the same for anyone else’s.
About: my entire life i’ve grown up around animals! since i was 10, i was walking my childhood lab around on a leash. i worked as a dog groomer for 2 years and i have a huge passion for anything pet related, especially what makes them happiest. anytime spent around animals is when im most comfortable, no matter how difficult the task may be. I’m completely free on Tuesdays, so I have no problem with taking care of your pups all day if needed! I work every other day, but I wanted to find time to helps pets on top of everything else! I’m a very athletic person, and have no problem taking your fur baby on lengthy walks, or to parks if wanted. Particularly difficult paths or uphill walks are no issue for me!
About: I have always been a dog lover, growing up i have had plenty of experience with all types of breeds to husky's down to Chihuahuas. Dogs have always had a special place in my heart along with all other animals. I will be able to walk, play, bathe and give back scratches and kisses any time to your sweet doggy. I am very flexible and am mostly free each day. Also we will take special trips to dog parks, veterans park, and any where else your dog would like to play and have fun. if you have any questions or concerns please dont hesitate to text or call me anytime, also during my dog visits i will make sure i keep you updated along with pictures of your furry friends. Thank you and cant wait to meet your best friend! I currently work at a bakery in Pelham 10-6 I’m happy to help before and after work and on the weekends. I’m very flexible as well and happy to accommodate as much as possible! I will make sure the animals are taking care of everyday. I will send updates and pictures daily. I will also stick to their day to day routines for their eating times and when they like to go outside.
About: What sets me apart from other sitters is my hands-on experience as a pet owner my whole life for cats and dogs (I have one Shih-tzu and one cat as of now!). I have also provided walks for other pets for 2 years for my family and friends, offering personalized care and a deep understanding of animal behavior and needs. My passion for pets ensures they receive the attention, love, and exercise they deserve! I have a flexible schedule that gives me plenty of time to dedicate to pet care. I'm looking to spend my time doing something I genuinely enjoy, and caring for pets is a great fit. Whether it's walks, drop-in visits, or pet sitting, I can easily work them into my daily routine and make sure each pet gets the attention, exercise, and care they need. I treat every pet like they're my own! I make sure they have fresh water, regular meals, plenty of exercise, and lots of attention. I always follow the owner's instructions, whether that's sticking to a feeding schedule, giving medication, or keeping up with their normal routine. I keep the environment clean and safe, watch for anything that seems off, and send regular updates with photos so you know your pet is happy and well cared for. My goal is to help them feel comfortable, relaxed, and loved while you're away.

“Excellent service & care!! This was our first time not only using Rover, but having a pet sitter. I highly recommend Whitney as she cared for our pupper dog like she was her own!! Thank you so much!!”
“Brittany was very attentive and took great care of my sweet little puppy. She sent lots of pics and updates and responded very quickly to my messages. I recommend her to care for furry friend or baby.”
“Lesley was such a great person to trust with my puppy. Not only did she take great care of her but she also sent photos with updates and of the dogs playing and having fun. Would recommend her to anyone looking for a sitter!”
“Matt was wonderful! He took great care of our sweet pup for a week & sent great updates of him. It made going on vacation so much less stressful knowing our dog was being well taken care of and was having such a fun time! Thank you so much Matt!”
“Amanda was absolutely amazing and Bella had such a great time being with her for the night! She was super communicative about how Bella was doing and sent me lots of pics and all around very responsive and easy to work with! Will definitely call on her again! 🌟🌟🌟🌟🌟”
“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.”
“Kristie was the perfect sitter for my dog- she gave him lots of caring attention and he had the opportunity to hang with her family and other dogs which I know he loved! Plus she has a huge backyard to play in and she sent me the cutest pics and videos that helped me feel better on my week long vacation. I’ll definitely rebook for overnights or longer stays.”
About: I’ve taken care of dogs since I was a child! From growing up with them, to helping friends and family, to fostering for shelters and rescues! I work full time, but do have allotted time to run home to let pets out/feed! My boyfriend is also a huge help to filling any gaps! I ensure all pets receive the best care! From food choice (if not provided), to toys, to play time w/ my pups (if wanted)! I provide a safe but fun environment!
“Danielle is the absolute best, and I’ll hear nothing to the contrary. This was my first time using Rover, and the sitter I originally booked cancelled on me morning of, but Danielle accepted our last minute request on a holiday weekend. I have an old dog with arthritis and medication who can be a picky eater at times, but that was no issue for Danielle. She not only made me feel at ease with constant updates and pictures, but she exercised and socialized him, and he may like her more than me now. My only regrets with this review are that everyone else will book her now and she’ll be unavailable next time we need boarding for a weekend”
“Harold is awesome. He has kind, calm energy and Flo immediately felt comfortable in his home. He sends lots of pictures and Flo got plenty of love and attention. Will definitely call on Harold again!”
About: I have grown up with animals of all kinds! When I was born I had two dogs and a cat! I have taken care of pretty much all types of breeds! I love animals so much that I almost became a vet! I currently work a full time job Monday-Friday, but if local I can come let dogs out during my lunch break! I also have a 2 year old German shorthair pointer who loves to meet new friends I currently have a fenced in yard but that doesn’t stop my dog and I. She has been trained on e-collar and recall, but we also are good with leashes! I can also take dogs anywhere with my safety backseat canopy for dogs!
