I could not have chosen a better person to take care of my puppy while I was out of town! Talhia is a truly caring and empathetic person who will take in your furry friends like they are her own family. I have not seen someone more qualified for their job in a long time and I am so happy that I found her! My anxious puppy was in amazing hands and very happy the whole time, I received so many pictures and vids every day! She even was more than happy to watch her an extra 3 nights when my plans changed. 100% recommend to anyone and would book with her again of course!

I thank God that I chose Quadricka to book with. She made me feel very at ease about leaving my Bailey with her. She has the most welcoming spirit and her personality certainly matches her bio. Her home is very nice, comfy, and very clean which means a lot. She sent pics of Bailey, kept me updated,and she also was very responsive if I checked on him. He was happy and energetic when I dropped him off and when I picked up him up! She is definitely a 10/10 so book with her today because she is definitely my sitter from now on out.

About: Lexie, my own dog, has taught me a lot about patience, routine, and understanding a dog’s needs. Through caring for her and other family dogs and my previous dogs back in the Philippines, I’ve gained hands-on experience with daily pet care, playtime, and feeding schedules. I’m very attentive and make sure every dog feels safe, comfortable, and loved while their owners are away. I enjoy keeping dogs active with playtime, especially games like fetch, providing plenty of cuddle time, and sticking to their routines for feeding, potty breaks, and naps, and making sure they get plenty of attention and affection. Every dog deserves a fun, safe, and caring environment, and I’m dedicated to giving them just that. I’m available to care for pets on weekends, which is when I’m off work and can give full attention to your furry friends. During that time, I can provide playtime, walks, potty breaks, and plenty of cuddles, making sure your dog stays happy and well cared for while you’re away. I create a safe, loving space for every pup at my home. I have a semi-fenced yard where dogs can play under supervision, and I stick to their routines, giving plenty of attention, play, and cuddles so they always feel happy and secure.

Whether it’s walks, playtime, cuddles, feeding, or sticking to their daily routine, I’m happy to provide the care and attention they need. I’m patient, dependable, and love getting to know each pet’s unique personality.

We love going on walks and playing in the yard.

About: I have always had a fur baby in my life. My husband and I recently lost both of our dogs and cat. I love walking, playing, snuggling and all other activities with pups. I will work with you on what your needs are for your fur family member while you are away. My ultimate goal is to have my own full time doggie care. I live in a neighborhood that’s great for walking or going to dog park at Sokol Park. I provide pickup and drop-off within a 10 miles. Above all, I will treat your pet like a member of my family & love on them while you’re away. I’m a PreK teacher so I’m free during the summer and most holidays. Even during the school year I am still able to stay at a client’s house if pet can be let alone during the day. My husband works from home so your pet will have someone with them during the day. However, your pet must not be very needy so that it doesn’t interfere with his work. He does take several breaks and your pet will have availability to be outside several times a day. I enjoy sitting outside enjoying the sunshine or going for walks is also fun activities for mine. We keep a large bed for your pet, toys, and a few treats. I love taking “paw” trips to the park or pet store. I am open to most anything your dog(s) needs.

About: I’ve been an animal lover for as long as I can remember, and caring for pets has always come naturally to me. Growing up, I regularly pet sat for neighbors, caring for dogs, cats, and even exotic animals, and over time I built a loyal client base in my hometown that turned pet sitting into a consistent job. I have experience with pets of all ages and sizes from training and keeping up with energetic puppies to providing gentle, attentive care for senior dogs. Having had dogs my entire life, including rescues from shelters, I’m very comfortable working with a wide range of personalities and temperaments. I can also administer medications and follow specific care routines, and I always prioritize creating a safe, calm, and loving environment so pets feel comfortable while their owners are away. I also make it a point to be highly responsive, so owners can count on me to quickly answer any calls or texts and provide updates for peace of mind. Pet sitting fits seamlessly into my weekly routine, especially during the summer. As a current senior at UA, I have a very flexible schedule and am looking to pet sit full time, which allows me to be fully available for boarding, walks, and regular potty breaks throughout the day. Because I’m not tied to a strict 9–5 schedule, I can give pets consistent attention, maintain their routines, and be present for their needs at all hours. This flexibility also means I can easily accommodate specific requests from owners and ensure their pets get the time, care, and supervision they deserve. I tailor my care based on each pet’s routine and the service requested, whether in my home or a client’s home. In my home, I create a safe, clean, and calm environment where pets can feel comfortable and relaxed, keeping to their usual feeding schedules, exercise needs, and any specific instructions provided. I make sure they get plenty of attention, playtime, and supervision throughout the day. In a client’s home, I focus on maintaining the pet’s normal routine as closely as possible so they feel secure in their familiar space. This includes feeding, walks, potty breaks, playtime, and any special care like administering medication or following training guidelines. I’m respectful of the home, keep everything tidy, and provide regular updates so owners know their pets are happy and well cared for.

About: I’ve been around dogs my whole life—since I was 5 years old. My mom is a dog groomer, and I worked with her for years, which gave me hands-on experience with dogs of all sizes, temperaments, and needs. I currently have three of my own, ranging from 40 to 190 lbs, so I’m very comfortable handling large breeds and high-energy pups. I’m confident with everything from basic care to reading dog body language and managing senior or anxious dogs with patience and calm energy. I work from home, so I’m home all day and able to give your pet plenty of attention, playtime, and potty breaks. My flexible schedule means I can easily stick to your dog’s routine and be available for walks, feedings, and cuddle time throughout the day. Whether I’m caring for pets in my home or yours, safety and comfort are always my top priorities. I take the time to understand each pet’s routine, personality, and any special needs or quirks. I follow instructions closely, keep a clean and calm environment, and never leave pets unattended in unsafe situations. I also give regular updates so you always know how your pet is doing. My goal is to make sure they feel secure, happy, and at home—wherever they are.

Jessie was amazing!! She was very dependable and took great care of our cat, Luna, while were on vacation. Our shy cat warmed up to her very quickly and was happy to see Jessie each day. We loved that Jessie sent us pictures and videos with daily updates. I could tell that Luna was in great hands and much less stressed. Jessie treated Luna just like her own fur baby and gave her all the love and attention she is used to getting while we are home. Overall, this was such a great experience, and I would recommend Jessie to anyone. We will definitely book again next time.

About: Hey there! I’m Emily — I offer reliable, loving care for both dogs and cats, and I come straight to you. Whether it’s walks, drop-ins, playtime, feedings, litter box scooping, or even baths, I’ve got it covered. I don’t do boarding or keep pets at my place, but I’m happy to help however I can in your home. I’ve got years of hands-on experience and also run a rescue, so I’m used to handling all kinds of animals, personalities, and needs.

This isn’t just a side gig — it’s a big part of my life, and I’m fully committed to giving every pet the time and attention they deserve. I provide care in my clients’ homes where pets are most comfortable and relaxed. I stick to their usual routine as much as possible — whether that means feeding, walks, playtime, or giving medication. I’m big on building trust with each animal and making sure they feel safe while their person is away. I always leave things clean, double-check food and water, and send updates so you know your pet is in good hands.

About: I have been caring for pets since I was 9. My mom and I would rescue animals and foster them while nursing them back to health. It was mostly dogs, but I’ve also had experience with goats, cows, turtles, and cats. The two most notable experiences is the billy goat we rescued who was born with 3 legs, and the dog (my mom still has him and he’s the cutest thing!) that was born deaf. I’ve always had at least 4 dogs in the house with me. I have experience with small, medium, and large dogs (pit bulls and Great Danes). I’ve never met a dog that doesn’t get along with me. I love meeting new dogs and spending time walking and caring for them. Every dog is unique in their needs and what works best for them. Customer satisfaction from the owner and the pet is always my priority. If there is any additional medical care or service you need me to provide, please let me know. I’m currently going to school from 1pm to 5pm for Information Technology and walking dogs with rover. I am available at anytime weekends . I have plenty of time to take care of your furry friend. I live in an apartment complex near many grassy areas for walks. Me and my fiance often times carpool because his car is more reliable. I always ask to make sure you’re comfortable if I have him come with me. If you have specific parks or areas you’d like me to walk you dog, let me know and I’d be happy to oblige! I’m currently in school so I have a lot of time that is flexible to be able to take care of your animals. Here’s some info if you’re new to this app or you’re wondering what is needed for certain services: Day care & Boarding: if you’d like boarding or day care services please bring along your pets: bed/blanket, their food, their treats, their bowls, their kennel, their medications, and their favorite toys. Some owners seem hesitant to provide a kennel, and I understand that you may be nervous. I don’t ask that to keep your pup in doggy prison all day. I want them to have fun with me and cuddle and have an awesome experience so they go home happy and excited to come back to visit. I generally host multiple pups at the same time and many times, especially if the doggie hasn’t been away from home before, they like the option to be able to go in their own area away from all the new things around them. This also helps to keep everyone safe as I separate dogs when they eat so that there is never a worry about signs of aggression. Walks and drop ins : please let me know where you keep their leash, treats, and a toy if they like to play on their walks. Please let me know if you have any questions or concerns at any time. Let me know how many updates you are wanting a day. For boarding I normally give 2 or 3 updates a day. For walks and drop ins I always like to give walk reports and pictures. I’d their is anything I can do to give you and your pup a better experience, let me know. 😊 Random extra: if your pup is going to have a birthday while staying with me, let me know! I’ve always wanted to throw a dog party lol. 🎂 🥳 🎉 I have many grassy unfenced yard and park areas near my house to walk your furry friends. I always keep the leashes on the pups and ensure their collars won’t slip off. I usually have my fiancé walk with me in case a stray unleashed dog walks up. I’ve never seen unleashed dogs in my neighborhood but I have in some of my clients neighborhood. When this happens I pickup the dogs I’m walking and my boyfriend shoos the stray unleashed dog away. I always want to make sure you and your animal feel safe and taken care of. If you have any special requests or would prefer your animal only be able aloes in certain areas please let me know, it’s no inconvenience at all. Your satisfaction is my goal.

About: Hi, I’m Aly! My house was never empty growing up—I was raised in a home full of cats, which taught me how to respect and care for even the pickiest feline personalities. At the same time, I’ve always been the go-to dog walker for my friends and family, and I've recently taken that passion professional. Currently, I’m active on Wag!, where I’ve completed multiple successful walks and have already secured a repeat client who trusts me with their dog’s daily exercise. I’m excited to expand to Rover to offer that same high level of care to both dog and cat owners in the Tuscaloosa area! As a flexible independent worker, my schedule is my own, which means I can easily prioritize your pet’s routine! Whether it’s a mid-day check-in or a last-minute visit, I have the freedom to be there when you can’t. When I’m not hanging out with your pets, you’ll usually find me curled up with a book or learning a new skill. Since I value a calm and relaxed environment, I’m the perfect match for your pet who enjoy a peaceful presence or a quiet companion to sit with them while they nap. I focus on providing personalized care that matches your pet’s unique energy level. Whether I’m visiting for a drop-in or staying overnight, my priority is maintaining the routine that makes them feel safe and happy.

About: What sets me different from others is the genuine connections I have with Dogs. A Dog is a man bestfriend and I love that quote. I single handedly trained all my dogs and others. Took time out to build that trust, connection, and loyalty to make sure we trust each other and be there for each other. I currently just graduated school. I went to Troy University out of high school and transferred to the University of Mississippi for my final year. Right now I have alot of free time on my hands and can work around any schedule. I care for pets the same way I care for a human. But also with the understanding the dog has to know your the “Top Dog” in a sense so it knows to respect you and not turn against you.

I could not have chosen a better person to take care of my puppy while I was out of town! Talhia is a truly caring and empathetic person who will take in your furry friends like they are her own family. I have not seen someone more qualified for their job in a long time and I am so happy that I found her! My anxious puppy was in amazing hands and very happy the whole time, I received so many pictures and vids every day! She even was more than happy to watch her an extra 3 nights when my plans changed. 100% recommend to anyone and would book with her again of course!

About: I have always had a fur baby in my life. My husband and I recently lost both of our dogs and cat. I love walking, playing, snuggling and all other activities with pups. I will work with you on what your needs are for your fur family member while you are away. My ultimate goal is to have my own full time doggie care. I live in a neighborhood that’s great for walking or going to dog park at Sokol Park. I provide pickup and drop-off within a 10 miles. Above all, I will treat your pet like a member of my family & love on them while you’re away. I’m a PreK teacher so I’m free during the summer and most holidays. Even during the school year I am still able to stay at a client’s house if pet can be let alone during the day. My husband works from home so your pet will have someone with them during the day. However, your pet must not be very needy so that it doesn’t interfere with his work. He does take several breaks and your pet will have availability to be outside several times a day. I enjoy sitting outside enjoying the sunshine or going for walks is also fun activities for mine. We keep a large bed for your pet, toys, and a few treats. I love taking “paw” trips to the park or pet store. I am open to most anything your dog(s) needs.

About: I’ve been an animal lover for as long as I can remember, and caring for pets has always come naturally to me. Growing up, I regularly pet sat for neighbors, caring for dogs, cats, and even exotic animals, and over time I built a loyal client base in my hometown that turned pet sitting into a consistent job. I have experience with pets of all ages and sizes from training and keeping up with energetic puppies to providing gentle, attentive care for senior dogs. Having had dogs my entire life, including rescues from shelters, I’m very comfortable working with a wide range of personalities and temperaments. I can also administer medications and follow specific care routines, and I always prioritize creating a safe, calm, and loving environment so pets feel comfortable while their owners are away. I also make it a point to be highly responsive, so owners can count on me to quickly answer any calls or texts and provide updates for peace of mind. Pet sitting fits seamlessly into my weekly routine, especially during the summer. As a current senior at UA, I have a very flexible schedule and am looking to pet sit full time, which allows me to be fully available for boarding, walks, and regular potty breaks throughout the day. Because I’m not tied to a strict 9–5 schedule, I can give pets consistent attention, maintain their routines, and be present for their needs at all hours. This flexibility also means I can easily accommodate specific requests from owners and ensure their pets get the time, care, and supervision they deserve. I tailor my care based on each pet’s routine and the service requested, whether in my home or a client’s home. In my home, I create a safe, clean, and calm environment where pets can feel comfortable and relaxed, keeping to their usual feeding schedules, exercise needs, and any specific instructions provided. I make sure they get plenty of attention, playtime, and supervision throughout the day. In a client’s home, I focus on maintaining the pet’s normal routine as closely as possible so they feel secure in their familiar space. This includes feeding, walks, potty breaks, playtime, and any special care like administering medication or following training guidelines. I’m respectful of the home, keep everything tidy, and provide regular updates so owners know their pets are happy and well cared for.
