“Amber went out of her way to make Snowflake feel at home. She even went to the store and bought her some chicken to boil because she didn’t want to eat her dog food. She was good to keep in touch and answer my questions soon after I asked them. She is a great sitter for my girl! I hope to book her to keep Snowflake again soon. Thank you, Amber!”

“Belinda and James took wonderful care of our two pups! Lucy is our 14-year-old Westie who needs a little extra attention due to a medical condition, and Brandi is our energetic 3-year-old Poodle. We were visiting Scottsboro, Alabama for a wedding and love traveling with our dogs, but we didn’t want them staying alone in a hotel room for nearly 19 hours. Belinda and James were so accommodating and even allowed us to pick them up late after the wedding. Their kindness, flexibility, and attentive care made the experience stress-free and enjoyable for both us and our pups. We’re so grateful and highly recommend them! Thank you, Kathy”

“My dogs most likely will sleep for the next week, they had so much fun!!!! Holly was very sweet and caring. She kept me updated throughout their stay and sent the sweetest picture! 100/10 recommend!”

“Melissa was fantastic with Chardonnay!! Char is a little timid and is very prone to anxiety! Melissa, Timber and Bella made her feel comfortable and completely at ease. The picture updates were amazing and set us at ease. If you want someone to love on your fur baby, Melissa is the girl for you. Will definitely be using her again, we even forgot to grab our water bowl & has been amazing at trying to get it back to us, even if we keep forgetting ??♀️?”

“Mya is a wonderful sitter for our precious pup. She is our go-to without question! Her environment is a real home with real interaction, not a kennel. That is important to me. Thank you, Mya! You are an angel….really!”

About: I’ve always had a passion for animals of all kinds. I attended school for veterinary technology, giving me a strong foundation in animal health and care. Beyond that, I’ve worked with a wide variety of animals, including dogs, cats, farm animals, reptiles, and birds. I’m comfortable caring for pets with different personalities, routines, and needs, and I’m not intimidated by just about any animal. Every pet is unique, so I take the time to learn what works best for yours, ensuring they receive the same love, patience, and attention they’re used to while you’re away. My goal is to provide dependable, compassionate care that gives you peace of mind and keeps your pets happy, safe, and comfortable. As a stay-at-home mom, I have a very flexible schedule and can accommodate most visit times, including mornings, afternoons, evenings, weekends, and many last-minute requests. I’m happy to work with your pet’s routine to provide the care they need when they need it. I have a large yard to go for walks in, far way from the road. If they stay at our home, they will be treated like our pets. Part of the family ❤️
“Dustin was absolutely amazing! He took such great care of Juno. I didn’t worry one second about her. He kept me informed throughout her stay, let her run and play, and pampered her better than I do! I can’t recommend Dustin for pet sitting and boarding highly enough.”

“Brenda took great care of MACK, he was treated like he was her own dog. I appreciated the way she handled him. I couldn't have done anything better myself. We'll see her again next time I need help. Thanks, Gary”

About: My passion for taking care of animals started at a young age. I have always had dogs and cats, including my Blue Heeler and Husky that I currently have. I enjoy being able to learn new animals, and am very patient while allowing them to learn me as well. With that being said, I would love nothing more than to be able to create a bond with your best friend(s)! I currently work full-time, but will always have time to be with your animals. If I feel like I wouldn't be able to give your furry friends the quality of time and care that they need, I will not allow myself to accept the service ahead of time. There is a dog park in walking distance. Crates are available if desired. Will be able to meet almost any need you may have for your animals.
“Sarra was very accommodating for a last minute get away. She sent frequent updates with pictures and was very friendly at drop off and pick up. It was such a pleasure meeting her and I am really glad I found a loving sitter for our fur baby. I highly recommend her for your pet sitting needs and I will definitely be a repeat customer!”

About: I have had multiple dogs for decades. Dogs just seem to love me. I guess it's because they can tell I love them so much. I'm really good at taking care of things for your dog. I love walking them and playing. I don't even mind picking up the poop. I'm currently working part-time as a house cleaner. So I have flexibility in my schedule to take care of fur babies. Evenings and weekends are almost always open. I treat all dogs with kindness and respect. I would want others to take care of my babies that way. I always double check the food and water. If there are extra things needed, I make sure to get those done as well.
About: Dedicated and trusted dog professional with 20+ years of experience offering knowledgeable, structured, attentive, and reliable care for dogs of all ages, behaviors, and routines. Pet care isn’t an add-on to my schedule—it is my schedule. I structure my days around walks, feedings, training, and enrichment so dogs get consistent care, calm handling, and predictable routines. Each visit is planned, not rushed, and adjusted to the dog’s needs, energy level, and household expectations. Weekly, I build in flexibility for longer stays, special needs, and last-minute requests while maintaining reliability and communication. Dogs thrive on consistency, and my routine is built to provide exactly that. I provide structured, attentive care tailored to each pet and household—whether in my home or a client’s. In a client’s home, I follow the pet’s established routine for feeding, walks, medications, and enrichment to minimize stress. I focus on calm, confident handling, safety, and clear communication, with updates after each visit. In my home, pets receive a quiet, controlled environment with supervised interactions, structured rest, exercise, and individualized attention. I don’t do chaos or overcrowding—safety, cleanliness, and consistency come first. Across all services, I prioritize reliability, observation, and proactive care so issues are addressed early, not after they become problems.
About: I grew up taking care of my own farm animals, and I also took care of family friends’ animals while they were out of town I’m currently working from home remotely and part time at a bar. I have two dogs myself that I take care of at my house My dogs are very friendly and love playing with other dogs. I walk them daily in my large side yard and love on them inside
About: I’ve had several different kinds of animals over my almost 30 years of life, and I consider myself a HUGE animal lover. I’ll take care of your babies as if they were my own… I’d own them all if I could! I work full time during the week, but I am available Friday-Sunday for boarding, or walks any time of the day! I’d love to get to know your fur babies! I have a fenced in backyard, with a doggy door to my back door- that can easily be closed off/shut. I have a spare bedroom so your baby could have its own room while visiting, or can easily spend the night in my room & share each other’s company!

“Rebecca is very caring with my cats. Her reports are very detailed and sends pics so I can see how they are doing. She is also very responsive if I have any questions. My cats really like her which says a lot! She's a great sitter!”

About: Cats have always held a special place in my heart. I attended school for veterinary technology, giving me a solid understanding of feline health, behavior, and overall care. Whether your cat is playful and outgoing or shy and reserved, I’m committed to caring for them in a way that makes them feel safe and comfortable. I understand that every cat has its own unique personality and routine, so I take the time to learn their preferences—from feeding schedules and medications to favorite toys and hiding spots. My goal is to provide calm, compassionate care that keeps your cat happy and gives you peace of mind while you’re away.
“Brianna is a very personable young lady who took great care of our cats for 5 days with in home visits. Our indoor kitties were so shy that they hid from her the entire time but they were obviously well fed and kitty litter clean. Our outdoor stray was also very obviously happy well cared for. I would definitely use Bri again and would highly recommend her to anyone in need of kitty cat care.”


“Nicki took great care of our cats during our two week vacation. She went way above and beyond with the care she provided our cats and our home. I felt so good knowing things were taking care of at home while we were away. We will absolutely have her come back the next time we go away from home!! She’s the best!”

“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’ve had dogs (&cats) for as long as I can remember. I adore animals and promise to provide the best care to them and your home! 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: I've had a passion for animals for as long as I can remember, and I've been caring for pets since I was a teenager. I understand that every pet is unique, and I treat each one with the same love, patience, and attention I'd give my own. My goal is to make sure your furry family member feels safe, happy, and loved while you're away. Since I work from home, I have a flexible schedule and open availability to give your pet the attention and care they deserve throughout the day. Whether it's potty breaks, playtime, walks, or cuddles, your furry friend will never be short on love or supervision. When your pet stays with me, they'll be treated like part of the family. We have a secure, fenced-in backyard for safe playtime, and I love taking dogs on walks at the park to give them plenty of exercise and enrichment. My friendly Goldendoodle is an excellent host who loves making new friends and is always happy to share her toys. My goal is to provide a safe, fun, and loving environment where your pet feels comfortable, happy, and right at home.
“Thank you, Dustin for being so communicative and friendly! I can tell Gypsy had a blast at daycare! I loved receiving pics and vids of her throughout the day😊 I will absolutely be dropping Gypsy by for more time with ya’ll when we find ourselves up this way again!”

“Sadie’s friends Beau and Bella (black labs) we’re visiting and we needed day care for the week. Bobbie Jo was the perfect solution. She took such care of them and her property was the absolute dream place for the pups. They were tired and happy when I picked them up. She spoiled them so much I was worried they would want to stay!! Plus Bobbie Jo is a wonderful delight. I will always depend on her for taking care of my fur babies. Thank you Bobbie Jo!!!!”

About: I’ve had and cared for my own dogs most of my life, and now that I’m retired and live alone, I truly enjoy meeting and spending time with new pups. I love getting to know all their unique personalities—it’s one of the best parts of what I do! Their company and the feeling of being needed keep me young, and I genuinely enjoy having someone to care for. I’ve been with Rover on and off for over 5 years, occasionally taking breaks due to health reasons, but my love and passion for animals has never changed. I’m always happy to send updates and photos while you’re away, if you’d like. I do have a small chiweenie named Bella who is also a senior citizen. She’s sweet, quiet, and doesn’t have an aggressive bone in her chunky little body. She’s never had any issues with other dogs—even larger ones—and is happy to share her space. Rest assured, I’ll care for your baby as if they were my own. 🐾❤️ I’m available full-time and very flexible with scheduling, since I no longer work. I’m happy to provide care at whatever time or date works best for you—just give me about three days’ notice so I can plan accordingly. From time to time, I do watch my son’s three grand-pups, but I always try to block those dates out in advance so there’s no overlap or confusion. Your pet’s comfort and safety are always my top priority! I do want to be fully transparent—I live in a trailer in a quiet trailer park, which unfortunately isn’t an option to select on Rover (they only allow “home,” “apartment,” or “farm”). While my neighborhood might seem a little rough around the edges, I promise it’s much friendlier than it looks. All of my neighbors are senior citizens and truly some of the kindest people you’ll ever meet. My best friend lives next door and helps keep an eye on my little one if I ever need to step out for errands or groceries, so your dog will always be safe and looked after. I also have a fully fenced-in backyard and typically leave the back door open so dogs can go in and out as they please. That said, if you prefer your pup stays inside and is only let out for potty breaks, I’m more than happy to follow your routine. Your dog’s comfort and safety are always my top priorities. 🐾❤️
“I would like to give her a rating of more than five stars. Even after taking care of my rambunctious puppy, she described her as "sweet." Moreover—despite it being our very first meeting—she listened earnestly to my various requests. She is a truly trustworthy person.”

“Great experience with my two labs! Nicki was flexible with scheduling, kept me updated with photos and messages, and treated my dogs like family. My dogs are always excited to see her. She was reliable, communicative, and clearly cared about both dogs. The girls loved their walks and were always happy and tired afterwards. Highly recommended!”

About: Hi there! I’ve been a proud pet parent for years and have loved every minute of it—from puppy zoomies to kitten cuddles. I’ve raised my own pets since they were little and know just how much love (and treats!) it takes to keep them happy and healthy. I’ve also been the go-to pet sitter for friends and family, caring for both dogs and cats of all personalities and sizes. Whether your fur baby loves long walks, playtime, or just a cozy spot to nap, I’m here to make sure they feel safe, loved, and totally spoiled while you’re away! I am a mom to two young children and sometimes need to bring them with me. I offer flexible pet-sitting services with availability throughout the entire week, including weekends. I’m happy to provide drop-in visits at any time of day, whether your pet needs early morning care, midday check-ins, or evening attention. My schedule is designed to accommodate a variety of routines, so you can feel confident that your pet will receive consistent, reliable care whenever it’s needed. Your pet’s well-being is my top priority, and I care for every animal as if they were my own. I understand how important it is to feel confident that your furry family member is safe, comfortable, and loved while you’re away. I’m gentle, attentive, and always tuned in to your pet’s unique needs—whether that means extra snuggles, a calm presence, or sticking closely to their daily routine. I’m happy to follow any special care instructions you provide, and I’ll keep you updated with messages and cute photos so you can relax knowing your pet is in loving hands
