“Dogs were very clean and happy when they returned home. Rachel was very quick to respond to any questions and sent multiple pictures of our pups during their stay, and even accommodated some last minute change in plans for us. Will book again!!”
“Corlaeja really came through for me and Billy. It was a very last minute booking, and she was not only able to do it, she did it exceptionally well. My boy—who is a brat—looked happy and healthy in every photograph she sent (and she sent regular photographs). And, of course, he came back to me the same way I left him. I will definitely look to rebook with her the next time there is an opportunity. Thanks again!”
“Barrie has been our go-to dog sitter for our dog Jackson for 2 years now! Jackson cries with excitement every time we pull into her driveway! We never worry about Jackson when he’s with Barrie and always get pictures and videos to keep us updated. We can’t recommend Barrie enough!”
“Shay and Zack were great they were kind and made my dog feel comfortable. I love that they do a meet and greet in the beginning to answer questions and make sure everyone is comfortable.”
“Kelsey was great with Dexter. He made himself right at home during his first stay with Kelsey and her pups. She kept us updated and sent pictures throughout the week. Will be rebooking with Kelsey.”
“Katherine was so sweet and made sure to keep me updated. I told her that this was my first time boarding Lu privately, so she made this SO comfortable and I got a bunch of super cute pictures out of it!”
“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.”
“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!”
“Tatiana was absolutely wonderful with our Charlie! It was our first time leaving him with a sitter while we went out of town for a week and we were extremely nervous not knowing how things would go. Tatiana kept us updated every day with messages as well as pictures and videos. We will be repeat clients!”
“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! :)”
“Jonathan and family provided a home away from home for our doggo. It was a long trip for us—6 days—and I was worried about our pup. But he thrived! It was such a great relief for me. I’m so grateful!”
“Laderius and his family were available for last minute boarding. They kept me updated with regular photos and messages. If you’re looking for someone reliable, kind, and trustworthy to care for your pet, this is the right family. I’ll definitely be reaching out to them again in the future!”
“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!”
“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!”

“Amy was a great cat sitter to our cat in Crestwood!!! Highly recommend! She is so sweet and would always update on her visits. I knew he was in good hands while we were out of town which was a huge relief!”
“Britiany took such amazing care of our kitten while we were away, and we couldn’t have asked for a better sitter! She did drop-in visits and went above and beyond to keep us updated and our kitten happy! After every visit, she sent thoughtful report cards along with plenty of photos, which gave us so much peace of mind and made being away from our little guy so much easier. One of the sweetest touches was that she left us Polaroid pictures of our kitten as keepsakes. It was such a thoughtful surprise and something we’ll always cherish. 🥹 It’s clear that Britiany genuinely cares about the pets she looks after. She was attentive, communicative, and treated our kitten like he was her own. We came home to a happy, well cared for kitten, and we are so grateful for everything she did. We would absolutely trust her to watch him again and highly recommend her to anyone looking for a reliable, caring, and thoughtful pet sitter!”

About: I have taken care of dogs for the past 5 years, including a chihuahua of my own and my family’s dogs. I have experience raising puppies and caring for senior dogs as well.

I keep frequent communication with pet owners, I’m able to accommodate to a dog needs, and am pretty knowledgeable about dog behavior to know their needs.
About: I have taken care of cats for many years and throughout them I have learned how to properly care for both long and short hairs. I also know basic emergency animal care, how to give medication, and proper cleaning of litter boxes/ water bowls . I am no stranger to high maintenance care and I am a helicopter cat mom myself so I have no problems with a binder of instructions or just a couple sentences.
About: I would love to walk/ hike with your pet, care for it at your home, or drop in to let them out. I have always loved animals ever since I was little. My first job was a pet sitting service, I was frequently asked to watch neighbors dogs, cats, bunnies, fish, etc. My friends often rely on me to take care of their animals while out of town and I have experience with older dogs as well as puppies. My dog passed away earlier this year and I won't be ready for anther dog anytime soon, but I would love to share love with your animals. I work seasonally and am currently off for my winter season. I would love to spend time with your animals either at your home or on walks/hikes! I can not watch pets in my own home but in my client's home I make sure to follow their rules and ask the important questions up front. I make sure to not leave pets alone too long and to be there for feeding times and to keep them company at night.
“Jesilyn was great and very responsive. I appreciate the love and attention she gave my cats. Everything went very smoothly from meeting for instructions to handoffs for care. I am so glad she was able to care for my very special fur babies and I was able to relax while being away.”

About: I first fell in love with cats when I was a little girl. I have a pit bull and Labrador , and the rest is history. 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

“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!!!”
“Amy has been watching Greta, my very active GSP puppy, these past couple of weeks and so far it has been great. She has a dog and a toddler that gets plenty of interaction with our puppy and Greta is always happy to go back to see her new friends. I am very appreciative of Amy’s willingness to work with our busy schedules that fluctuate for drop off and pick up.”
About: My love for dogs started at age 7 when I got my first dog, and I've never looked back. Growing up with dogs gave me hands on experience through every stage of life, from energetic puppies to gentle seniors. That lifelong bond has also given me a natural understanding of dog behavior, which helps me keep every pet calm, happy, and well cared for. I have open availability, making pet care a natural and flexible part of my everyday routine. Your pet will always be my priority. Feel free to message me with any questions! Your pet's well being is my top priority. Every visit includes fresh food, clean water, plenty of exercise, and playtime tailored to your pet's personality and energy level. I treat every animal like my own.
About: I’m a devoted animal lover who treats every animal like my own! Whether it’s long walks, playtime, or cuddles, I make sure your pet feels happy, safe, and loved while you’re away. Known for my reliability, patience, and big heart for furry friends, I bring positive energy and genuine care to every walk, visit or stay. I have 8 years of experience caring for pets of my friends and families…I’m open to all types of care weather it’s just a walk, need me to let them out, keep them at my place or I stay at yours! I work at UAB Hospital 3 days a week, even on days I work I can let them out before after and on my hour break! I will make any accommodations necessary for you and your animals! I live right by railroad park, so that area would be perfect for any animal to be walked in! I like by myself with no pets in my apartment.
About: I’m the one your dog wants to stay with! Playful, I’m just as energetic as your pet😁 I love to give belly rubs 😁 I will treat your pet just like my own Im home evenings, weekends and overnights to care for your fur baby. We go for walks in the yard. Contact me if you have any questions about a schedule. I don’t house pets in crates although I do have them if needed. My home is pet friendly. It’s a safe environment. My doors are locked and I have a fenced in yard so they won’t escape.
“My babies came home fully intact! No parts missing lol! Jessica was a great host for my children. She sent updates throughout the day along with photographs. From the moment I dropped them off I was confident I had chosen the right person for the task. She is a pleasant human with a big heart. Yep, my babies came home just as I dropped them off, happy and all parts intact! Thank you Jessica!”
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! Before medical school, I volunteered with Shelby Animal and Adopt a Golden. 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! In my home I have a crate, toys, and a dedicated dog park that I can take pups to! In my clients home I would treat their pets just as I treat my own with lots of love and attention.
“My dog Arabelle enjoys doggy daycare with Julia and her dog Stanley. We get lots of photos throughout the day and know that she was in good hands. Arabelle looks forward to more visits with Julia in the future!”
About: Growing up I was the girl on the street who preferred petsitting to babysitting, and as soon I could in my 20s, I adopted the sickest oldest cats in the facilities and loved them until their deaths. In my 30s I’ve mixed it up and have two big rescue dogs, and we’ve been at the dog park nearly every day for 6 years now. Wow they grow fast! I’d love to share a moment of your lives with a walk or overnight, and I’ll treat them like family — only better. :) I am available Monday-Sunday. There are many parks and we walk several times a day and play on- and off-leash. Basically, my two dogs are my life right now so I thought I’d try this to have something to do! I have a two-bedroom apartment but one is devoted to the dogs and there is extra space in my master room if dogs don’t need to sleep together. While I only have a balcony, it is good enough for my dogs to sunbathe on and stare at passersby. Additionally, there are many parks nearby and we walk several times a day and play, off- and on-leash available. I’m open for questions. I’d love to have your pet to add to my life while I pursue stand up comedy.
About: I've been pet sitting and walking since my freshman year of highschool! I've taken care of so many animals like cats, dogs, rabbits, chickens, and even lizards. I am a true animal lover and genuinely care about their happiness and safety. I can feed, bathe, and keep your animals stimulated for a healthy body and mind. I’m also a canine coach at Dogtopia and have a lot of of hands on experience with dog behavior! I am a college student who needs something flexible with my full course load and that has been a little difficult, so I figured this would be a great job that could give me enough time to also do all my assignments! I make sure the animals I look after are well cared for, and the home I'm in is too if the service calls for it. 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!
“Dave and his family (including his canine kiddos!) were AMAZING! I cannot speak highly enough or give enough kudos and praise! Dave was an excellent communicator; he was warm, welcoming, and caring. My little guy was happy and excited to see Dave’s pups and Dave, and to me, says everything I need to know!”
About: I’ve always been the friend people call when they need someone to care for their pets! I’ve raised a dog from puppyhood and adopted and cared for a senior dog, so I’m comfortable with every stage of life. Over the years, I’ve been a repeat dog and cat sitter and walker for countless friends and family—including house sitting for over a month. I am also a Doctor (resident physician) at Baptist Health, so responsibility, attention to detail, and caring for others are a big part of my everyday life. I specifically offer Rover during lighter months when I’m home most of the day; when I do go into work, I’m typically only away for 2–3 hours at a time. I’m comfortable with medications and detailed care instructions, attentive to when something seems off, and calm in unexpected situations. One of my closest friends is also a veterinarian, giving me a trusted resource when needed. Most importantly, I genuinely love animals and treat other people’s pets the way I’d want someone to treat my own. If you furry friend stays with me, they will also meet Zeus, my 10-year-old neutered pug and professional co-pet-sitter. He’s incredibly laid-back, patient, and unfazed by just about everything—I have never even heard him bark! He loves dogs and cats, has helped me host many pets over the years, and mostly just does his own thing while providing some quiet companionship. Whether you have an energetic puppy, a laid-back dog, or a cat who runs the household, I’m at your bark and call! 🐾 As I mentioned, I’m a doctor at Baptist Health. I specifically offer Rover during lighter months when I am at home most of the day. When I do go into work during these months, I’m typically only away for 2–3 hours at a time. I want your pet to feel as comfortable and secure as possible, so I’m happy to follow whatever routine they’re used to—feeding schedules, walks, medications, crate time, sleeping habits, and all their little quirks! I’m attentive and responsible, and I never take the trust of caring for someone’s pet or home lightly. If you’re hiring me to host your doggo, I live in a condo right by Railroad Park and just a block from Rotary Trail, so there are plenty of opportunities for walks and outdoor time throughout the day. My mom also lives only five minutes away and has a large, beautiful fenced-in yard that we can visit for some extra space to play and explore. At home, my calm senior pug Zeus is around for company but is very content to do his own thing. When caring for pets in their own home, I’m respectful of their space and prioritize keeping their normal routine. I will also send plenty of photos and updates so you always know how they’re doing!

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 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.
About: I’ve had dogs my whole life, my mom and grandmother started the humane society in my hometown so we have always taken care of animals. I will take care of your dog like it was my own. I love all animals but especially dogs! I currently work from home so I am available to watch your dog during the day or overnight boarding. I can do drop ins or walks after 4pm. My wife is a RN so she is home 4 days a week to help watch and play with your dog also! Someone will always be available to supervise your pet and can update you with pictures through their stay! I have a fenced in yard and a dog door so they have access to come in and out as they please. I also have a big energetic German shepherd lab mix that will play with your dog all day! We have daily frisbee tosses and fetch in the backyard.

About: I have had at least one dog ever since I was born, and i have had to care for, exercise, feed, and bathe a dog since. Plenty of friends and family have also asked me to dog sit or dog walk for them so I am very familiar with working with dogs that aren’t my own.

I was in constant contact with dogs and learned a lot about caring for them more than i already knew. I have a flexible work from home job, so i have plenty of time to take care of your pups!! I love going for walks and playing with dogs, as well as being chill and giving them plenty of belly rubs!!! At home, I feed my dog and take her for daily walks.

About: I have grown up with animals my entire life. Caring for animals has been my life long ambition. I understand the importance of trusting someone to care for your fur babies. My fiancé And I love training and exercising with them every day and they push us to be the best we can be. They bring so much joy and happiness to our life. I have 5 years experience pet sitting for friends and family as well. They are the support system that told me about this app. Work from home but it’s not very demanding. Extremely flexible schedule.

Growing up with dogs gave me hands on experience through every stage of life, from energetic puppies to gentle seniors. That lifelong bond has also given me a natural understanding of dog behavior, which helps me keep every pet calm, happy, and well cared for. I have open availability, making pet care a natural and flexible part of my everyday routine. Your pet will always be my priority. Feel free to message me with any questions! Your pet's well being is my top priority. Every visit includes fresh food, clean water, plenty of exercise, and playtime tailored to your pet's personality and energy level. I treat every animal like my own.
About: I have experience caring for dogs of all ages, from puppies to adults. I’ve had dogs of my own and regularly cared for my brother’s dogs while he was a breeder, giving me hands-on experience with puppies and adult dogs. Most of my experience is with French Bulldogs, Cane Corsos, and Boston Terriers. I’m patient, attentive, and treat every pet like my own. I am currently a full-time freshman at UAB, but my weekly schedule has consistent gaps that allow me to provide dependable and attentive care for your pets. I am experienced with maintaining pet routines and can easily accommodate drop-in visits, walks, and feedings during my regular availability: Mondays and Wednesdays from 1:30 PM to 2:30 PM and after 4:30 PM; Tuesdays and Thursdays from 10:00 AM to 12:00 PM and after 3:15 PM; Fridays from 12:15 PM to 2:15 PM and after 3:20 PM; and open availability all day on Saturdays and Sundays. I believe every pet is different, so I don’t treat every pet the same. I take the time to learn their personality, routines, and comfort level so they feel safe and cared for. I’m gentle, attentive, and respectful of each pet’s needs while making sure their environment stays clean and secure.
About: I have been a dog owner/caretaker since the age of 13. I have looked after family and friends’s dogs over the years. I will love and treat your dog as my own. I am currently a student and so I have a lot of free time and flexibility in my schedule. I am happy to come check in on the dog throughout the day or hang out with it during the afternoons into the evenings! I cannot bring animals into my dorm so I will have to care for your pet in your home. However, I do have access to dog parks and am happy to take your dog on adventures!

“Dogs were very clean and happy when they returned home. Rachel was very quick to respond to any questions and sent multiple pictures of our pups during their stay, and even accommodated some last minute change in plans for us. Will book again!!”
“Corlaeja really came through for me and Billy. It was a very last minute booking, and she was not only able to do it, she did it exceptionally well. My boy—who is a brat—looked happy and healthy in every photograph she sent (and she sent regular photographs). And, of course, he came back to me the same way I left him. I will definitely look to rebook with her the next time there is an opportunity. Thanks again!”
“Barrie has been our go-to dog sitter for our dog Jackson for 2 years now! Jackson cries with excitement every time we pull into her driveway! We never worry about Jackson when he’s with Barrie and always get pictures and videos to keep us updated. We can’t recommend Barrie enough!”
“Kelsey was great with Dexter. He made himself right at home during his first stay with Kelsey and her pups. She kept us updated and sent pictures throughout the week. Will be rebooking with Kelsey.”
“Sansa absolutely loved her stay and has a new best friend. I was able to feel confident that she was safe and happy the entire time and loved the daily updates.”
“Katherine was so sweet and made sure to keep me updated. I told her that this was my first time boarding Lu privately, so she made this SO comfortable and I got a bunch of super cute pictures out of it!”
“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.”
“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!”
“Tatiana was absolutely wonderful with our Charlie! It was our first time leaving him with a sitter while we went out of town for a week and we were extremely nervous not knowing how things would go. Tatiana kept us updated every day with messages as well as pictures and videos. We will be repeat clients!”
“Jonathan and family provided a home away from home for our doggo. It was a long trip for us—6 days—and I was worried about our pup. But he thrived! It was such a great relief for me. I’m so grateful!”
“Our beagle, Bailey, stayed with Westyn again this weekend for the second time this summer. She is all smiles while she is with his family and very happy when she comes home :)”
“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!”
“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!”
