“Katie is the best. My lil grand-pup enjoy staying at her house. She sends photo and video updates so you know your fur baby is receiving lots of love. I can’t imagine trusting anyone else with my llittle Baxy boy.”
“We have never had a bad booking on Rover BUT Chyra is the best, BAR NONE! She provides great instructions to set expectations. She went ABOVE AND BEYOND treating a hot spot that appeared, she gave me something to read explaining my dog's behavior AND she even went to the store for us to get some extra supplies we needed. If all of that doesn't say enough, i couldn't get Chadwick to leave with me... HOW EMBARRASSING! It goes without saying that we've found our forever sitter because the icing on the top is she's :10 minutes away from us!”
“Marcie LOVED spending the week with Kelsey and her dogs. And from the pictures I could tell she was spoiled rotten and we will absolutely book her again. I am hesitant to post a review because I don’t want her all booked up when I need her!”
“Brittney took great care of our girl. She sent lots of pictures and came back tired and happy. Brittney took time for me to call her before booking and made sure we were a compatible match. Thank You!”
“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.”
“Barrie was great with our son, Shapley! She did a great job of communicating and sending pictures to make us feel extra comfortable while being away from him. You can tell she really cares about these puppies because she even let Shapley sleep in the bed with her. We would definitely recommend!”
“Tatiana went above and beyond taking care of my fur baby! I received lots of photos each night she is was with her. She was also excellent and prompt with any and all communications. We will definitely book with her again!”
“Katie and her family were absolutely amazing! They are were so kind and gave my pup all the extra attention he loves. Will absolutely be coming to her for future bookings 😊”
“Doug has cared for our little doggie, Freddy, a couple of times now. Freddy has diet restrictions that make for extra work, so we are very happy with Doug's attention and care. Great dog sitter! :)”
“Wade and Morgan are AMAZING!! This was the longest I have ever left my pup so I was very nervous about being away from him but they made the entire experience effortless. They sent me picture updates every single day if not twice a day! My dog seemed to not want to leave their house and I could tell that he was very happy and very very well taken care of. I would recommend them to anyone who asks and I will definitely be booking with them again in the future! Thank you so so much Wade and Morgan I appreciate you guys more than you know!”
“I left my fur baby with Christopher and Sore for the weekend and after making my reservation, I realized that I had forgotten about my flight being at the Atlanta airport and the hour difference, so needless to say I had move my drop off time up.They were completely accommodating. Once meeting Sore I felt completely at ease, leaving cowboy with them.. I received updates, with pictures every day to see my boy was doing fine. I definitely would rely on their service again in the future..”
“Cody is the best! My Chloe loves being at his place! He keeps me very updated and I never worry about the safety and wellbeing of my dog! I will continue to book with him!”
“Ashley was awesome with our two Boxer girls! Mags and Su had a blast playing in the big fenced back yard & with her pup and senior Boxer. I honestly think Su is going to have separation anxiety from Freya, she loved playing with her so much!! Ashley sent daily updates with photos/videos. We would highly recommend, especially if you have a Boxer, trusting Ashley with your fur babes!”
“I had to take a last minute trip out of state and used Rover for the first time. I chose Libby and she was absolutely wonderful. She was easy to book last minute and she took good care of my fur babies. I have a 9 year old Samoyed/Husky mix and a 6 month old Samoyed. She was very responsive and sent the best pictures and videos of my babies. I highly recommend her and I will definitely book with Libby again in the future.”
“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!”

Every animal I meet is different and has different needs (affection/play/space) I make sure to give each one I spend time with what they need.
“Amy did a great job yet again! She really cares about making my pets feel loved and giving them attention while I’m away. My cats have to be fed a certain way and she’s mindful about following those instructions to a T. Can’t wait to book her again for my next trip!”
About: I have been around, owned, and taken care of cats of all kinds, shapes, and sizes since I was 10. I adore felines and have two of my own. It is very important to me that cats are well taken care of especially when their human is out of town!!
“Britiany took GREAT care of our sweet kitty boys while we were gone for the weekend. She was very detail oriented and left report cards of each of her visits and sent us pictures of our fluffy boys. She took extra time to play with them and try to wear them out before the 4th of July fireworks got started, so hopefully our kitty who’s afraid of storms would be too tied to care! So very kind and thoughtful! We will definitely book Britiany again in the future!”

I've spent years pet sitting for friends and family so I'm comfortable adapting to each pet's unique personality and routine. Whether your pet wants to play, get some scratches, or just have a quiet companion, I'm happy to provide whatever makes them feel comfortable and safe. I'm also confident handling medications, carriers, vet visits, and unexpected situations if they come up. My goal is always to make sure your pets are happy, well cared for, and loved while you're away. I know how much our pets mean to us, and I'll treat yours like one of my own! 🐾💕
About: Hi! I’m Raegan - professional belly-rubber, treat dispenser, and adventure buddy for your fur baby. I know how important it is to find someone you can trust with your BFF. Whether they love long walks, tug-of-war, or cozy nap sessions, I’ve got it covered. I’ve got experience with all kinds of pups - high energy, shy, sassy, or seniors - and I tailor each visit to make your dog feel safe, loved, and totally spoiled (in the best way). I also know how important consistency is when it comes to training, and I know how quickly they can get off track. I’m happy to discuss and follow any and all expectations while I’m with your pup so they don’t lose any progress while you’re away. I can promise your baby will have plenty of potty breaks and long walks, and I also have a large gated porch that they’ll be able to play their hearts out off-leash. I’ll always make sure to send updates, photos, and a little note about our time together so your time away from them can be as stress free as possible. I can’t wait to meet your pup! ❤︎ I recently lost my soul dog, Mello, so I have a lot of room in my house and heart to love on your pup(s)! I do work full-time, but my office is less than 10 minutes from home so I can provide multiple potty breaks even on work days. If we're hanging at my house, I have a large covered porch for the pup(s) to play on as much as they want. I also have the space to let them relax in their crate if you want to leave their crate with me. I also live in Southside which is the perfect area for long, enriching walks so we will get plenty of exercise!

I believe my calm demeanor puts most cats at ease, even the ones I have been told are shy around new people. Even though I grew up with dogs, cats now have a special place in my heart and I adore caring for them. I now have my own cat thanks to the Cat Distribution System named shadow
“Carson was absolutely amazing! She went over to my parents’ house every day to give my cat his medicine. She is a literal cat whisperer! My cat takes a long time to warm up to people and she was so patient with him on the first day. Eventually, he would run to her every time she came! She was very easy to communicate with, and I will definitely book her in the future!”

“I can’t say enough great things about Rachel! They took amazing care of our Miniature Dachshund, Ollie, while we were in town for the Supercross race. It was clear from the start that she truly loves and understands dogs. Ollie was happy, well-cared for, and I received regular updates, which gave me complete peace of mind. Finding someone you can trust with your pet is priceless, and I’m so grateful to have found Rachel. Wished we lived closer so I could continue to use her services. She has the sweetest little family too. We Highly recommend!!!”

I’m also a canine coach at Dogtopia and have a lot of of hands on experience with dog behavior!

I'm a strong believer of leaving places better than I found them so I love to tidy up to help your day be a little easier!

About: i have taken care of animals, mainly cats and dogs, since i was a little one. your pet will be in great hands with me i’m a student so my schedule is always open! i’m available 7 days a week 24 hours a day. i love animals so anytime is great. i often take them to the park and for walks, i give lots of treats too. i have a small dog who loves when i foster.
About: What sets me apart is my calm, reliable approach and my ability to tailor care to each pet’s unique needs. I have experience with puppies, including basic training reinforcement (potty routines, leash manners, crate comfort, and positive reinforcement), as well as senior pets who may need extra patience, gentle handling, medication reminders, and close monitoring. I’m attentive to routines, quick to notice changes in behavior or health, and I prioritize clear communication with owners, regular updates, photos, and notes so you always feel at ease. Whether it’s high-energy play, slow senior strolls, or maintaining training consistency, I focus on making pets feel safe, comfortable, and loved while you’re away Pet care fits very naturally into my daily and weekly routine. I’m an online college student at Jefferson State, which gives me a flexible schedule and allows me to plan my classes and coursework around pet care responsibilities. Because I’m home most of the day, I’m able to provide consistent attention, timely potty breaks, feeding on schedule, walks, playtime, and plenty of companionship. This flexibility is especially helpful for puppies who need frequent check ins and senior pets who benefit from routine and supervision. I structure my study time around the pets in my care rather than the other way around, so their needs always come first. This setup allows me to be reliable, responsive, and fully present for the pets I’m caring for throughout the week. I provide attentive, individualized care with pets that are in my client’s home, and I always follow the routine and preferences you set. In my client’s home, I focus on keeping pets comfortable in their familiar environment. I stick closely to their normal schedule for feeding, walks, playtime, and rest. I make sure litter boxes, yards, and feeding areas stay clean, administer medications if needed, and give plenty of affection and enrichment. I also keep an eye out for any changes in behavior or health and provide regular updates with photos and notes.
About: I've grown up around all sorts of pets all my life. My dad always brought around ex police dogs to train and multiple foster animals. Right now I take care of 3 donkeys, 4 goats, 2 pigs, around 30 chickens, 2 roosters, 2 cats, and 5 dogs including two French bull dogs, two large Belgian malinois and a medium sized mutt whenever I go back home. I also help train our dogs back at home in agility training, and overall love spending time with my animals. I'm currently working as a student 4 out of the 7 times a week with no classes Saturday through Sunday and finishing classes by 12:30 to 2 pm any other day. So I have a very flexible schedule to come pet sit the animals. The only time I cant pet sit is on Fridays from 6-10 because of Powerlifitng practice. Any pet that I will care for I will treat as my own. When I go out of time and have to hire somebody to come pet sit I want them to care for my animals as if they were there own. Making sure the pet has enough water, catches its breath after playing or walking outside, and is all settled down before I leave.
About: I love dog. I’m a very out doors person. I play in college so with me I love taking them on walks the dog park. I’m currently a student-athlete playing volleyball at Birmingham, and I’m home all day after practice and have a flexible schedule. I’m very disciplined with my time, so I can reliably care for pets early mornings, evenings, or throughout the day. Pet care fits naturally into my routine, and I’m doing this to help support my schooling, so I take it seriously. I provide a safe, clean, and comfortable environment for every pet. I have a spacious apartment and a pet washing station so I can always give your pet a bath and a pet-friendly home where dogs can relax, play, and feel at ease. I also have experience being around other dogs, so I’m attentive to their behavior and make sure everyone is supervised and comfortable.
About: Having grown up with animals most my life…I pride myself in the ability to comfort and love your furry friend… Even from a distance. My special skills, are soft skills… Meaning that I work best with slow warm-ups for any anxious pets. But also, I’m ready for any high energy animals as well. I go to school, and work during the weekdays… But have a giant break in the middle of the day, for any pet care. Weekends work best for me. Making sure to adapt to whatever the pet owner, and pet need. Whether that means space, or extra attention… I can be that in-between person you request. I also pride myself on attention to detail… So will notice any change in behavior, or care necessary.
About: I’ve taken care of animals for around 3 years now. 2 years being with family and friends relying on me to watch, feed, and walk their animals. I have worked in an animal hospital around a year now! I am currently working full time, so I will have open availability as of right now, and plenty of time to spend with your fur babies! I have a big yard and a room in my house just for pups! In the room there is different size crates, bowls, and many toys! I can easily crate your dog in the room or outside.
About: I am an extremely caring and loving individual, who has owned two dogs, two cats, and dozens of other pets. Therefore I know how to accommodate whatever needs your pet might have. Having lost my oldest dog recently, being around other animals is fun and therapeutic for me as well. I am looking for work to supplement playing gigs on the weekend. Since I spend much time writing music at home, I will have plenty of time to spend with your pet. I have an easy going schedule being a teacher and musician. I have plenty of time to meet with your pet to attend to whatever needs they might have. I have plenty of space for pets to roam around my house. I also have a fenced in back yard where I like to spend time with my dog or friends dogs when the warmer weather is here.
About: I’ve been caring for dogs most of my life, ever since I was first introduced to them at nine years old. I’ve spent the most time with American and European bloodline Great Danes — a breed I absolutely adore, though I love all dogs deeply. In 2022, I worked for a professional dog care business, where I was responsible for four European Great Danes daily — all in the same home. I walked each dog three times a day, fed them individually twice a day, and made sure they had plenty of playtime and enrichment outside of their crates. I also assisted with the birth of a litter of puppies, helping weigh them, check their temperatures, and feed them a blended diet as they grew. It was one of the most rewarding experiences I’ve ever had. If you’re considering booking with me, feel free to text me — I’d be happy to share photos of my experience. Looking forward to meeting your fur baby! 🐾 I’m currently on summer break from college which gives me complete flexibility to schedule any days needed I’m available Sun-Sat so feel free to reach out. In my home, your pet will be treated like family. I stick to a consistent feeding schedule, offer walks three times a day, and provide regular potty breaks. If allowed, I also work on basic training using treats. I make sure your pup gets plenty of playtime, cuddles, and affection throughout the day. I usually let dogs roam freely, but at bedtime they’ll sleep in my room so I can keep a close, loving eye on them through the night. 🐾

“Katie is the best. My lil grand-pup enjoy staying at her house. She sends photo and video updates so you know your fur baby is receiving lots of love. I can’t imagine trusting anyone else with my llittle Baxy boy.”
“We have never had a bad booking on Rover BUT Chyra is the best, BAR NONE! She provides great instructions to set expectations. She went ABOVE AND BEYOND treating a hot spot that appeared, she gave me something to read explaining my dog's behavior AND she even went to the store for us to get some extra supplies we needed. If all of that doesn't say enough, i couldn't get Chadwick to leave with me... HOW EMBARRASSING! It goes without saying that we've found our forever sitter because the icing on the top is she's :10 minutes away from us!”
“Marcie LOVED spending the week with Kelsey and her dogs. And from the pictures I could tell she was spoiled rotten and we will absolutely book her again. I am hesitant to post a review because I don’t want her all booked up when I need her!”
“Brittney took great care of our girl. She sent lots of pictures and came back tired and happy. Brittney took time for me to call her before booking and made sure we were a compatible match. Thank You!”
“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.”
“Barrie was great with our son, Shapley! She did a great job of communicating and sending pictures to make us feel extra comfortable while being away from him. You can tell she really cares about these puppies because she even let Shapley sleep in the bed with her. We would definitely recommend!”
“Tatiana went above and beyond taking care of my fur baby! I received lots of photos each night she is was with her. She was also excellent and prompt with any and all communications. We will definitely book with her again!”
“Katie and her family were absolutely amazing! They are were so kind and gave my pup all the extra attention he loves. Will absolutely be coming to her for future bookings 😊”
“Wade and Morgan are AMAZING!! This was the longest I have ever left my pup so I was very nervous about being away from him but they made the entire experience effortless. They sent me picture updates every single day if not twice a day! My dog seemed to not want to leave their house and I could tell that he was very happy and very very well taken care of. I would recommend them to anyone who asks and I will definitely be booking with them again in the future! Thank you so so much Wade and Morgan I appreciate you guys more than you know!”
“I left my fur baby with Christopher and Sore for the weekend and after making my reservation, I realized that I had forgotten about my flight being at the Atlanta airport and the hour difference, so needless to say I had move my drop off time up.They were completely accommodating. Once meeting Sore I felt completely at ease, leaving cowboy with them.. I received updates, with pictures every day to see my boy was doing fine. I definitely would rely on their service again in the future..”
“Cody is the best! My Chloe loves being at his place! He keeps me very updated and I never worry about the safety and wellbeing of my dog! I will continue to book with him!”
“Ashley was awesome with our two Boxer girls! Mags and Su had a blast playing in the big fenced back yard & with her pup and senior Boxer. I honestly think Su is going to have separation anxiety from Freya, she loved playing with her so much!! Ashley sent daily updates with photos/videos. We would highly recommend, especially if you have a Boxer, trusting Ashley with your fur babes!”
“I had to take a last minute trip out of state and used Rover for the first time. I chose Libby and she was absolutely wonderful. She was easy to book last minute and she took good care of my fur babies. I have a 9 year old Samoyed/Husky mix and a 6 month old Samoyed. She was very responsive and sent the best pictures and videos of my babies. I highly recommend her and I will definitely book with Libby again in the future.”
“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!”
“Jordyn was absolutely wonderful with our dogs! She was reliable, caring, and kept us updated with photos everyday . Our dogs were relaxed and happy when we came back — we couldn’t have asked for better care. Highly recommend!”
