“Rachel is a godsend!! I’ve never had a good experience with boarding (dog owner for over 15 years), and I am SO THANKFUL to have found someone that cares for my boy the way I do. He had the best time and has done nothing but sleep since we got home!”
“Kayte takes really good care of Boogie. She is caring and very responsive. I love the grooming service she offers. I feel relaxed when Boogie is with her because I know she is taking very good care of him! I would definitely recommend! You won’t be disappointed.”
“This was our dog’s very first time boarding with Brittney and I couldn’t have asked for a better experience! She went above and beyond, we received daily pictures and kept us updated the entire time, which really put our mind at ease. Her communication was excellent, and I could tell our baby was being cared for with love and attention. I felt completely comfortable and confident leaving him in her hands. I highly recommend Brittney to anyone looking for a trustworthy and caring boarder, and I’ll definitely be booking again!”
“Jessica was great! We got pictures every day and a video too! We could tell she made our old girl comfortable and happy in a new environment. She also has a one level house with no stairs to the backyard which is great for dogs with arthritis. We will definitely use her again next time we go out of town!”
“Katie and her family did a wonderful job of making our Stella feel at home. She kept us updated with pictures and texts the entire time. It made us feel good that they said they would miss her when she left. Would definitely recommend and use again!”
“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!”
“Doug was very kind to us and extremely hospitable to our cocker spaniel, Charlie, while we were gone for the week. He sent daily updates and time stamps on potties/feedings/medicines, which is even more than we asked for. He gave our dog plenty of walks and stimulation, and send lots of pictures. We feel very comfortable leaving Charlie with Doug again!”
“Wade & Morgan were fantastic hosts for our dog Boone over Memorial Day Weekend. Boone had a ball playing with their dog Atlas for 3 days. Wade and Morgan sent pictures and provided updates everyday. Would highly recommend!”
“Ryan is just the best ever. My dog definitely loved staying with him and he took amazing care of her, I’ve never seen her so happy with someone other than myself. We 100% choose to go with Ryan for boarding every time. THE BEST EVER!!”
“Barrie is incredible, I’m just happy that we were able to coax our girl into the car after a long weekend of fun. We received updates, both photos and videos. I would definitely recommend Barrie and she will our first choice in the future. Thank you again!”
“Tatiana was a great host for Wallace! She was so kind and came to the rescue in short notice. Would highly recommend her to anyone with a dog who loves kids and would definitely repeat.”
“This was such a great experience for our family! We always have tears when we leave Toby for boarding, but Savannah made everyone feel so happy and comfortable as soon as we met her and dropped him off! We received pictures all weekend and knew he was getting loved on and having a great time! We will definitely be doing this from now on!”
“Carson treated my little dog like she was her own. I felt very comfortable leaving her with Carson, for over a week. I will definitely call her the next time I need a sitter for my dog.”
“Shelby was great! She gave us daily updates and it was evident she made our pup feel right at home. We have used her twice and great experience both times. Hope to use her again! Our pup came home happy and healthy!”
“Lauren was so attentive and passionate about my furbabies needs. She frequently sent updates and pictures. They were always smiling and being pampered. They are definitely going to visit Lauren and Cooper again.”
“Cody was great with my dog! Gave him plenty of walks, he seemed well fed and in good spirits when I picked him up. Very good communication as well, would highly recommended”
“Very nice couple. Our Shih-tzu was wore out from playing with other pups her size. Kristen kept us updated throughout the stay with pictures and videos. Will use again.”
“Kelsey was awesome to say the least! She’s very flexible which was amazing with being stuck in a winter storm I didn’t have to worry about my pup at all. She made Kaia feel right at home and her two dogs played with Kaia great!”

“Krystal was a true blessing for our family. We had a European vacation planned, and our longtime pet sitter unexpectedly fell ill and could not come - days before our trip! Krystal stepped in, last minute was no problem for her. She also happily took on the monster job of caring for our nine rescue cats for over a week. She did a perfect job of it, too. The daily report cards with pictures were amazing. It gave us such peace of mind to know that our fur babies were in such good hands. She took such extraordinary care of them and paid attention to every detail. We came home to very happy cats! I will not hesitate to book Krystal again for future trips and wholeheartedly recommend her as a pet sitter. She is the best!”
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!!
“She was very sweet and communicative. I love the detail in which she wrote her notes. My dog is very precious to me and it means a lot to have someone taken care of her who truly cared about her.”
About: I can't remember a time in my life I did not have my own pets. I have taken care of my own pets all of my life and am a lifelong animal caregiver. I have experience as a foster mom for an animal rescue as well and I enjoyed taking care of so many different babies and helping them find their forever homes. I have always had both cat and dog companions and have advocated and helped friends and family with their pets as well. I currently have a senior dog, a senior cat, who have both been with me for over 13 years, three cats who are two years old and a leopard gecko! I would love to meet you and help with your pet care needs!
“This is my second time having Jamie and I can’t say enough good things about her! I feel comfortable with her in my home and with my fur child. She is so patient and kind. She had great communication and I can tell she has a big heart for her fur clients!! Can’t wait to book her again!”
About: I grew up raising and caring for cats, the cat in my photo is my baby glaceon, recently I've rescued 4 kittens one of which had a broken leg and I used my ties to my previous vet job to get her taken care of and properly adopted, I live with 2 cats currently, my cat glaceon and my sisters cat Jolteon both of them are rescues we found as kittens on the road that were formula and dropper fed for a while, my cat was on medication for worms for a very long time and her litter box had to be cleaned at least 3 times a day to try to minimize the worms survival so i can handle medications cleaning etc
About: I've been caring for pets for over 10 years, and I truly can't imagine life without them! I've cared for pets of all ages from newborn kittens to senior pets, and have experience with shy rescues, high-energy dogs, and everything in between. 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! 🐾💕
“Was such a sweet and professional person to work with. I would recommend her. She sent pictures and reassured me that my kitty was getting much needed attention! I'm grateful to her for watching my cat for such a long time! :D”
“This was an amazing sitter!! I had absolutely no worries during my trip having her as Fish’s sitter. She’s a very kind lady and I will DEFINITELY be booking her from here on out!!”
“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!”
“Claire was amazing with my babies!! She cared for them while I was away like they were her own. I came home to happy babies and all thanks to Claire!! I will absolutely book with her again 😻”
“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!”
About: I’ve cared for dogs of all sizes, from tiny Shih Tzus to energetic Labs, and I’m experienced in meeting their unique needs. Whether you need someone to walk your pup or provide a safe and loving space while you’re away, I’m here to help. Your dog’s happiness and well-being will always be my top priority! I work a Monday - Friday 9-5 job! I am willing to commit my mornings or nights to walk or care for them. I am also able to commit my weekends for when I am not out of town! I have room to bring in a crate if they are kennel trained. I do not have a fenced in yard but am willing to let them out on a leash when needed. I live right next to campus that has great walking trails.

Yep, my babies came home just as I dropped them off, happy and all parts intact! Thank you Jessica!”

“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!”
“I reached out to Mrs. Kim on very short notice after my dog sitter bailed on me days prior to a week long vacation I had scheduled. Mrs.Kim was very accommodating with my request. She does frequent updates and made my baby a part of her pact, and now my dog loves it there! 100% recommend Mrs. Kim and her family and will be using her again and again !”
About: What sets me apart from other pet sitters is my deep understanding and love for animals. I believe that pets are not just animals but they are members of the family. Therefore, I treat them with the same care and respect as their owners would. I stay home most of the day so the pet is not left alone for any extended amount of time and if I am not home then they will be in the area I keep my dogs. Firstly, I ensure that pets have access to clean water and food at all times. Secondly, they should be given regular exercise and playtime as per their breed and age requirements. Thirdly, it is crucial to maintain good hygiene by keeping their living space clean and grooming them regularly.
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.
“Lawden is amazing! Zeus loves her and loves going over to her house to play. It’s so reassuring to know my pup gets the same love and and affection and correction 😅 he would get at home. Lawden provides a safe and stimulating and social environment for Zeus and he loves going to see her!”
“Cody was great with our dog! We received cute photo and video updates during the day, and our dog seemed happy when he came home. What more can you ask for? Thank you!”
“Kyler is an awesome dog caretaker, and is very accommodating and easy to work with, and extremely communicative throughout the entire interaction. She treated my pup like her own and kept her engaged and well taken care of for the length of her stay. I won't hesitate recommending her to others looking for a great resource for dog care, and will definitely be rescheduling for my own pup soon!”
About: I was trained how to train dogs at an early age after our first dog was trained by our breeder. Since then I trained 2 golden retrievers and an Australian Cattle dog (red heeler). Both breeds are strong willed and have high energy. I work from home and so have a lot of freedom to break away to take care of dogs. I enjoy taking care of dogs and sharing the knowledge from my experience of training and raising dogs. I have a large beautiful fenced yard, have multiple crates for use and live within walking distance of a dog park. I have kids that will make sure your dog gets lots of love while being boarded.
“Doug did a great job taking care of our dog, Paisley! We were visiting family and needed a sitter in a pinch (during a holiday weekend no less) and Doug was super quick to respond and help us out. He provided nice updates with photos, and it was clear Paisley had a great time and was well taken care of. He even took the extra effort to replace her ball when she lost it the bushes while playing outside. Would definitely use Doug again.”
About: I have two cats of my own and have been a foster mom of big dogs, small dogs, and senior dogs as well as a sitter for friends with big dogs!

I’m a runner and love to take the dogs I sit on runs with me if they tolerate exercise well :) I’m a medical student at UAB with some flexibility before clinicals and am excited to meet your pet! Currently I am on dedicated study time for medical school so my schedule is completely flexible! I like to stay active so I go for a run once a day or go to the gym but can otherwise drop in for care or pet sit at any time!

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: Resident doctor by day, gentle pet‑spoiler always. I care for humans professionally and your pets lovingly - because everyone deserves snacks, comfort, and a calm heartbeat nearby. Working nearly full‑time until the end of June, with somewhat limited availability. My schedule opens up much more in the summer, offering plenty of pet‑care time. I understand how stressful it is when owners leave, so I focus on making your pet feel safe, comforted, and genuinely loved throughout your time away.
About: I've grown up around dogs and have always loved being around animals. I'm patient, attentive, and happy to adapt to each pet's routine, whether that means long walks, playtime, feeding, administering basic care, or simply keeping them company! As a recent high school graduate, I have a flexible schedule and can work with a variety of pet care needs. Whether your pet needs a midday walk, overnight care, weekend visits, or regular drop-ins, I'm happy to accommodate whenever possible. Your pet's safety and comfort are my top priorities. I carefully follow each owner's instructions, including feeding schedules, medication, exercise, and any special routines. I make sure pets are supervised, have fresh water, get plenty of attention, and feel secure in their familiar environment. I'm respectful of your home, will keep everything clean, and will always communicate if I notice anything unusual. You can expect regular updates and photos throughout my visits.

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. :)

“Aniya did an amazing job with Max and Milo with taking them out and sending me pictures while they were out on their walk. Anyia was very informative and I truly appreciate the fact that she took the time to be informative. I will use her again to take care of my fur babies.”
“Christina is the best petsitter. My experience with her for the past 4 months have been amazing. I was never worried about my dog and she took care of Kai so well. 1000% recommended”
About: I have taken care of many dogs even my own that passed away from old age at 15 years old. I have experience in trimming nails, bathing, boarding over 1 month, day care sitting, and much more.. I have worked at an animal hospital over a year! I am currently self employed with a remodeling business called The Core, specializing in ceramic, and a graduate from UAB business management. I have most of the day to take care of your fur babies. I have 2 fenced in yards with a glass sliding door. I can easily crate your dog if needed. I follow the pet’s normal routine. I provide fresh food and water. I give exercise and playtime. I monitor health and behavior. I administer medications if needed. I keep the space clean and safe. I give attention and comfort.
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.

“Rachel is a godsend!! I’ve never had a good experience with boarding (dog owner for over 15 years), and I am SO THANKFUL to have found someone that cares for my boy the way I do. He had the best time and has done nothing but sleep since we got home!”
“Kayte takes really good care of Boogie. She is caring and very responsive. I love the grooming service she offers. I feel relaxed when Boogie is with her because I know she is taking very good care of him! I would definitely recommend! You won’t be disappointed.”
“This was our dog’s very first time boarding with Brittney and I couldn’t have asked for a better experience! She went above and beyond, we received daily pictures and kept us updated the entire time, which really put our mind at ease. Her communication was excellent, and I could tell our baby was being cared for with love and attention. I felt completely comfortable and confident leaving him in her hands. I highly recommend Brittney to anyone looking for a trustworthy and caring boarder, and I’ll definitely be booking again!”
“Jessica was great! We got pictures every day and a video too! We could tell she made our old girl comfortable and happy in a new environment. She also has a one level house with no stairs to the backyard which is great for dogs with arthritis. We will definitely use her again next time we go out of town!”
“Katie and her family did a wonderful job of making our Stella feel at home. She kept us updated with pictures and texts the entire time. It made us feel good that they said they would miss her when she left. Would definitely recommend and use again!”
“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!”
“Wade & Morgan were fantastic hosts for our dog Boone over Memorial Day Weekend. Boone had a ball playing with their dog Atlas for 3 days. Wade and Morgan sent pictures and provided updates everyday. Would highly recommend!”
“Barrie is incredible, I’m just happy that we were able to coax our girl into the car after a long weekend of fun. We received updates, both photos and videos. I would definitely recommend Barrie and she will our first choice in the future. Thank you again!”
“Tatiana was a great host for Wallace! She was so kind and came to the rescue in short notice. Would highly recommend her to anyone with a dog who loves kids and would definitely repeat.”
“This was such a great experience for our family! We always have tears when we leave Toby for boarding, but Savannah made everyone feel so happy and comfortable as soon as we met her and dropped him off! We received pictures all weekend and knew he was getting loved on and having a great time! We will definitely be doing this from now on!”
“Carson treated my little dog like she was her own. I felt very comfortable leaving her with Carson, for over a week. I will definitely call her the next time I need a sitter for my dog.”
“Shelby was great! She gave us daily updates and it was evident she made our pup feel right at home. We have used her twice and great experience both times. Hope to use her again! Our pup came home happy and healthy!”
“Cody was great with my dog! Gave him plenty of walks, he seemed well fed and in good spirits when I picked him up. Very good communication as well, would highly recommended”
“Kelsey was awesome to say the least! She’s very flexible which was amazing with being stuck in a winter storm I didn’t have to worry about my pup at all. She made Kaia feel right at home and her two dogs played with Kaia great!”
“Super kind and very responsive! My pup went right to her at drop off and didn’t look back 🥹 she sent photos and updates. Kobe was so calm and chill when I picked him up.”
“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!”
“Libby had a clean home, spacious space for Grey to stay & updated us with text & pics. She has a fenced in yard on the side & fenced in deck for the pups to play/relax safely. Grey was well taken care of & if we are in the area again we would rebook.”
“Our golden retriever absolutely loved his visit with Jonathan and his family. He could not have been a more perfect host and it was really nice to have a previous golden retriever owner as a Rover host.”
