“Took great care of our sweet elderly pup… and was even able to provide care last minute, cause another caregiver canceled. Very pleased, should have used Kayte from the beginning! Nice family home, with friendly pet environment. Now I definitely know who to use! ❤️?”
“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!”
“Katie is AMAZING. Took such good care of my fur child. All the kids and doggos spoiled my dog with cuddles and attention. She was easy to communicate with, sent lots of pictures, and allowed us to do a meet and greet first. Will absolutely use her in the future.”
“Savannah and her family were wonderful! She provided frequent updates and plenty of photos during Ellie’s stay, which gave me great peace of mind. Drop-off and pick-up were smooth and efficient, and communication was excellent—she was always responsive and easy to reach. I highly recommend her!”
“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.”
“Bama 🐶 had a great first time boarding stay with Kristen and her family. Kristen communicated during his stay and sent pics which eased my mind that he was doing well. He felt loved and right at home with them. I would definitely book with them again and i know he would love to come back!”
“Doug has become one of pur dog's favorite people!! She is always pleased to spend time in his home when we are away. Doug also is very conscientious about her feedings which are a bit complicated. So glad to have found him!?”
“Tatiana was WONDERFUL! She walked Harley a ton which I know Harley enjoyed, especially after a long car ride the day before. I could tell immediately that Harley was comfortable with Tatiana and her family and that’s saying a lot because Harley can be very timid and shy around new people. Thank you for sending plenty of picture updates too, I’ll definitely be booking again when I’m in the area!!!”
“We adore Brittney! She took GREAT care of Khemet and when it was time to go, he did not want to leave. I highly recommend leaving your fur baby in Brittney's care!”
“Carli was a huge help taking our pup on a last minute request! She has great communication and was able to work with a couple changes in our travel plans to work out best for everyone. She stuck to our dogs schedule to keep him happy and comfortable and we didn’t have to worry about him at all for the duration of his stay.”
“my dog is really scared of big dogs since he was attacked by a golden retriever when he was 8 months, however Kyler’s skills of taking care of my baby is sooo amazing that he can get along well with other small and big dogs now!!! She sent photos more than one time per day and really take good care of my dog!! I’m a return client now and Kyler is definitely the best host family i’ve ever met!!! Thank you 🥰🥰”
“Opol was a godsend . Poppie seemed really happy and comfortable. I would.most definitely use her again! Her communication was awesome and he ate all his food. Thank you again!”
“We cannot express enough gratitude for Ryan and his wonderful family for taking care of our beloved dog, Lola, during our recent family trip. From the moment we met them, we knew Lola was in the best hands. Ryan and his family were incredibly thoughtful, caring, and gentle with her, treating Lola as if she were their own. Lola can be quite shy and anxious around new people, but under their loving care, she felt safe and happy. Ryan's attentiveness and the warmth of his family truly shone through, making Lola's time away from us comfortable and stress-free. The updates and pictures they sent showed us just how much love and attention Lola was receiving, and it brought us immense peace of mind. We are deeply touched by the kindness and compassion Ryan and his family showed Lola. They went above and beyond to ensure she felt loved and secure. It's not easy to leave a cherished pet behind, but knowing Lola was with such amazing people made all the difference. We are forever grateful for their exceptional care and the genuine love they shared with our sweet girl. Thank you, Ryan, for being such a wonderful caretaker. Your kindness will always be remembered.”
“Randy was very welcoming to our boy Cosmo! Very attentive and patient with him as he can be a big bundle of energy! We both appreciate the walks he took him on and even gained a new toy to his vast collection! Many thanks and do highly recommend!”
“Stephanie did a great job with our boy Bodhi. She was sweet, caring and we can tell Bodhi enjoyed his stay. Highly recommend her. She will be our go to in the future.”
“Cody was so great! He communicated well, sent pictures and videos with updates, and gave my dog lots of love while I was away. He also was able to accommodate last minute changes in plans which helped us out so much. Definitely recommend him!”
“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.”

They had a blast running around outside and playing with the other dog. She sent me regular updates with photos and videos throughout the day. I look forward to booking with Opal again!”
“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.”
“I was so nervous to trust someone with my new puppy. However, Kayte was so kind, understanding and patient with me. Our puppy really blossomed in her care and enjoyed spending time with her family. She was excited to go back each day and was exhausted from all the playing when she came home. Great experience!”

About: Hi, I am Jamie and I’ve taken care of animals since I can remember. I have experience caring for a lot of different animals from horses, cats, a Greyhound, a family Frenchie, hermit crabs, a bearded dragon, and even working at a vets office for some time as a teenager. To now training and raising our Labrador Retriever and offering farm sitting services. My family and I have incredible amounts of enrichment and joy added to our lives because of our animals and yours. I am currently a homeschooling mom so I am available to meet various time frame needs as well as keep some animals in my home. I have a lab that lives playing with other dogs and a cat who is good at hiding from them! We offer a fenced in back yard and walks for your dog. We also keep a very clean home and yard, using only all natural cleaning products and yard sprays. We are a toxin free home. I have a fenced in back yard and am well aware of animal body language and needs. I am good at knowing when dogs need a break and need to be separated. I will be spending a lot of time playing with your animal doing things such as taking them for walks, letting them play with my puppy in the yard, playing fetch, etc. My animals and children can be kept separately from your dog if needed. I can also come to your home to care for your pets. I am trustworthy and honest and able to provide references to attest to such. For the safety of my children and other pets in our home, please do not drop off animals that have been sick in any way within the last 30 days.

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!
About: I am an animal lover to my core. I’ve worked with animals throughout my life helping out my neighbors, friends, family, and colleagues.

But available before or after during those days and available any day of the week. Your pup will get to play with my pups unless specified otherwise.

About: Growing up, I always had several dogs in my home, and have even adopted two of my own. Over the years I’ve gained a lot of experience working with hundreds of animals with a wide range of breeds and pets of all ages and sizes. I have experience taking care of dogs anywhere from feeding to walking to playing (etc) for any age range and any size. As mentioned in the title, I have experience working at Birmingham’s local Humane Society and in that time learned a lot about animal behavior. This will help me ensure an animal’s comfort level, safety and trust during my time caring for them. I believe the key to taking care of animals is showing them genuine love and patience. I love animals and do this work to make some money on the side, but also because it brings me so much joy! All pets are considered family, so it’s guaranteed to treat them as such. Your pet’s happiness and safety are top priority so I aim to create a fun and stress free environment for everyone. I’m currently working side hustle jobs that give me the benefit of working with a very flexible schedule. Whatever your needs will be for me to properly care for for animals will be easily catered to during my time caring for your pet/pets. During my stay at a client’s home, I will be able to cater to the pet’s regular routine. I also am comfortable and experienced giving dogs medication if they are on a vet prescribed medicine. I am happy to discuss any needs of the household and go over any expectations of my tile in your space.

About: I’m 39 years old and there has been a pet in my life since I was 7. I’m an only child and my pets quickly became like siblings (we didn’t fight like them, promise). I became the primary caregiver for my mom’s two senior mini dachshunds a few years ago and was able to get them crate and pee-pad trained. One of them crossed the rainbow bridge sadly, but my other little old lady is doing well. I fall in love with every animal I see and I would love the chance to fall in love with yours. I’m currently working a full time second shift job (1pm-11pm) so I have the mornings completely open to check on your babies. I’m also a night owl and have no problem doing a nighttime check after work or begin an overnight stay. If you have a fenced yard, I will let them outside and let them do their business before tossing a ball or toy or running around with them to get the zoomies out. If no yard, then I will take them out on a leash for a walk then some playtime inside. Food and water will be checked and refilled; cuddles will be provided at will. :)

About: Hi, I am Jamie and I’ve taken care of animals since I can remember. I have experience caring for a lot of different animals from horses, cats, a Greyhound, a family Frenchie, hermit crabs, a bearded dragon, and even working at a vets office for some time as a teenager. To now training and raising our Labrador Retriever and offering farm sitting services. My family and I have incredible amounts of enrichment and joy added to our lives because of our animals and yours. I am currently a homeschooling mom so I am available to meet various time frame needs as well as keep some animals in my home. I have a lab that lives playing with other dogs and a cat who is good at hiding from them! We offer a fenced in back yard and walks for your dog. We also keep a very clean home and yard, using only all natural cleaning products and yard sprays. We are a toxin free home. I have a fenced in back yard and am well aware of animal body language and needs. I am good at knowing when dogs need a break and need to be separated. I will be spending a lot of time playing with your animal doing things such as taking them for walks, letting them play with my puppy in the yard, playing fetch, etc. My animals and children can be kept separately from your dog if needed. I can also come to your home to care for your pets. I am trustworthy and honest and able to provide references to attest to such. For the safety of my children and other pets in our home, please do not drop off animals that have been sick in any way within the last 30 days. This includes any kind of worms/parasites that could be spread. We strive to provide a clean and safe environment for our clients. We mop floors, clean crates, wash food and water bowls and remove fecal matter daily. A cleaning fee staring at $50 may apply to any sick animals.
About: I treat every dog like family—patient with seniors, playful with pups, and always focused on love, safety, and making tails wag with joy. I tailor each visit to meet your dog’s unique needs and personality. I currently work from home and have an open schedule to be as attentive as I need to for your four legged friends. I love walks and always am ready for potty breaks I have a fenced in yard and two very friendly friends that can wait to make new friends. I do have a crate in the home if that’s what your furry friends prefers for its safe space.
About: Hi my name is eden and I have 6 years of professional pet experience. I worked 2 years at a pet boarding/ grooming business and have animal/house sat on my own in the 4 years since. I have also owned a variety of animals my entire life and have first hand experience taking care of cats, dogs, bunnies, critters, reptiles, and horses. I have the most professional experience with cats and dogs and have loved animals of all ages and tempers. I am also happy to administer any medication based on owner instructions. I love to walk, run, and snuggle! I can’t wait to get to know you and your pet! Thank you for your consideration! I am open to anything and would love to have a conversation about what works best for you and your pet! I am a mostly online student so I am happy to accommodate to whatever is preferred! I absolutely adore animals and my only course of action is to keep your animal happy, safe, and comfortable! I will treat your animal as if they were my own, and their safety is my top priority. I’ll follow each pet’s feeding, medication, and exercise routine exactly. As for house sitting I want to be as respectful as possible when staying in another persons home so I will always keep the house tidy, secure, and running smoothly while you’re away. I will always clean up after myself and your pet, bring in packages, keep doors and windows locked, and am also happy to water any plants if needed! Thank you!
About: I’ve had animals my entire life. I adore animals and would love to take care of anyone’s fur babies like I would want mine taken care of! I’m currently full time in Nurse Anesthesia School at UAB, and a registered nurse! I am very responsible and would love to help out with your fur babies! I always make sure the animals are not just taken care of but also receive the love and attention they need. I can care for them at owners homes so they feel comfortable and at home.
About: I’ve taken care of pets since I was young. I’m new to Rover but have helped many neighbors, friends, and family with their animals over the years. I’d love to help you keep your pets and family at ease by looking after your pet while you’re away. I work during the day Mondays-Fridays but can easily take your dog out for walks in the morning and in the afternoon once I’m back home. Weekends are usually much more flexible with plenty of time for walks and playtime. I’m comfortable with pets in my home. I don’t currently have any pets of my own, but have a fenced backyard that’s great for your pet to get some fresh air when needed.
About: I’ve taken care of many dogs and have had many in my life. I love them and will feed, walk, bathe and anything else . I’m currently not working so this will fit into my schedule great. I love animals so this will be a great experience for me since i have so much experience already with pets. I will keep the pets entertained and to make that i am playing with them all day to make them happy. I will watchout for them carefully.
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!

“Took great care of our sweet elderly pup… and was even able to provide care last minute, cause another caregiver canceled. Very pleased, should have used Kayte from the beginning! Nice family home, with friendly pet environment. Now I definitely know who to use! ❤️?”
“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!”
“Katie is AMAZING. Took such good care of my fur child. All the kids and doggos spoiled my dog with cuddles and attention. She was easy to communicate with, sent lots of pictures, and allowed us to do a meet and greet first. Will absolutely use her in the future.”
“Savannah and her family were wonderful! She provided frequent updates and plenty of photos during Ellie’s stay, which gave me great peace of mind. Drop-off and pick-up were smooth and efficient, and communication was excellent—she was always responsive and easy to reach. I highly recommend her!”
“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.”
“Tatiana was WONDERFUL! She walked Harley a ton which I know Harley enjoyed, especially after a long car ride the day before. I could tell immediately that Harley was comfortable with Tatiana and her family and that’s saying a lot because Harley can be very timid and shy around new people. Thank you for sending plenty of picture updates too, I’ll definitely be booking again when I’m in the area!!!”

“Carli was a huge help taking our pup on a last minute request! She has great communication and was able to work with a couple changes in our travel plans to work out best for everyone. She stuck to our dogs schedule to keep him happy and comfortable and we didn’t have to worry about him at all for the duration of his stay.”

“I can’t say enough great things about Danielle’s dog boarding service! She took such wonderful care of Chyna, and it was clear from the start that she truly loves and understands dogs. Danielle kept me updated with pictures and messages, which gave me so much peace of mind while I was away. Chyna came back happy, well-rested, and clearly loved on the entire time. Danielle treated her like family, and I’m beyond grateful for the safe, clean, and nurturing environment she provided. If you're looking for someone trustworthy, attentive, and genuinely passionate about animals—Danielle is it! I’ll definitely be booking with her again. 🐾💕”
