“Sofia has been the perfect host for Teddy ! I cannot recommend her enough. She was so gentle and caring for Teddy, he could not have been in a better home! Thank you again Sofia !”
“I know Charlie and Lucy will be well taken care of when they are with Corey. I really appreciate the convenience of having the pups picked up and dropped off as part of their stay. Great communication throughout the pups' stay and the pictures are priceless.”
“Jennifer is the best!!! Henry (an only dog) was so happy there, and so enjoyed his vacation and playing with Jennifer and her dogs, he acted like he wanted to stay 😁. We’re so grateful for her giving Henry a home away from home - and she takes amazing photos and kept us updated on the good times he was having. His next stay with her is already booked!”
“Libby was well taken care of and had a good time with Michelle. She was very friendly and sent pictures every day. I will definitely keep her in mind if I ever need a sitter again for Libby.”
“10/10 fur-baby-sitter! Celeste and her husband were very helpful when moving the dog crate in and out of their home. Celeste would also consistently send me pictures and updates about my fur baby while I was away! They were very accommodating to his odd tendencies and high maintenance, and they even sent him home with a little doggy goodie bag! I think my pet had a fun little weekend, especially since he had other dogs to keep him company, and I am very happy with the service given by Celeste and their husband. I will be using them again whenever I take another trip out of town!”
“Can’t say enough amazing things about Ray and Sherry! They always take such great care of Chloe and she has a great time staying with them. Ray and Sherry send pictures and videos throughout the stay which is just great to see how happy and comfortable your dog is!”
“Terri is absolutely amazing. This was our first time using Rover and we were hesitant with leaving our baby with a stranger but that was quickly resolved after speaking with Terri, who even offered a meet & greet a few days prior to the booking. She is very quick and responsive to our questions and sent pictures and videos of our frenchie enjoying his time with her. She also has a pup named Zeus who is the chillest and sweetest dog ever. We will definitely be rebooking with her.”
“This was my very first experience using Rover and Kemarie was wonderful. She provided lots of pictures and updates on my dogs activities and was quick with all communications. Plus, she is super close by to me. My Elsa had a great weekend!”
“Christina and Gabriel provided lots of attention and love to buttercup and when she came back, she was much better behaved and much calmer! Thank you both so much for opening your home and your heart to our pet! We are forever indebted to you, Debbie”
“Terwrin is awesome! She cared for my Dougie as if he were her own fur-baby! He wasn’t stressed when I picked him up! It is comforting to know he is being so well treated when we have to leave him. I hope to leave him with her next time we need a sitter!”
“Caroline was absolutely amazing with our sweet Jackson! We needed a sitter the same day, and she came through for us without hesitation. She kept us updated, communicated every step of the way, and treated Jackson like he was her own. It gave us so much peace of mind knowing he was in such loving hands. We couldn’t have asked for a better experience and would recommend Caroline to anyone looking for someone they can truly trust with their fur baby. Thank you again ..we’ll definitely be booking with you in the future!”
“I could go outside with no leash in the fenced yard. I made a couple friends and had playmates to play with. The service was prompt and courteous, although the food tasted eerily similar to the food at home. You could tell the whole staff is very nice and really care about their guests. And the accomodations, well, i could sleep anywhere ... and did! What more could a puppy want?”
“I’m breath taking at the service and care she provided ! Top notch ! From drop off to pick up! Did I mention she bathed him?! We love her and this is our new sitter for ever! Bleu enjoyed them !”
“Peggy was awesome to work with. She was great in communicating every day letting me know how Edmund was doing as well as sending multiple pictures showing me how he was. 10/10 Thank you again.”

About: As a Licensed Veterinary Technician, I got to take care of patients from all stages of life. I am a big fan of puppy kisses all the way to loving on the geriatric babies. I am not practicing any longer, but I have two babies of my own! I have patience letting the timid ones get used to me. I look forward to being able to meet your precious fur baby! I am available after 5pm Monday-Friday to take your dog for a walk and available on the weekends to take care of them up to 3 times a day. Of course if you need any other assistance or care, I will be more than happy to work out a schedule with you. I would prefer not to bring your baby to my house, but I can do whatever needs to be done in the comfort of their own home.
“Tierney is reliable and does a great job taking care of our cat. We especially love the pictures she attaches to his Rover card. It's a peace of mind knowing she's looking out for him and we appreciate it so much!”
About: I’ve been surrounded by animals my whole life—dogs, cats, horses, smaller animals, birds, and even a longhorn or two! I’ve cared for everything from energetic puppies to senior cats, from barn animals to guinea pigs. I truly believe every pet deserves to feel safe, loved, and well cared for—whether they’re curled up on the couch or running in the pasture. I’m comfortable with pets of all sizes and temperaments, and I treat every animal like they’re my own! I have a very flexible schedule! I have a few short trips planned throughout the summer before I go back to college in August, other than that I am there when you need me! I care for my own pets with their specific needs, my dogs go on car rides every day, baths every few weeks, my horses get fly spray, supplements, fly boots, all the extras, my cats are mostly outdoor but still get all the love when they are at the house. As for my clients home, I treat it as if it were my own, I have had to feed supplements, do special care for food, etc. So I am pretty much prepared for anything!
About: We've both taken care of dogs & cats our entire lives. Family, friends, and neighbors regularly ask for help and we are always happy to do so! We both work full-time jobs (teacher and coffee company) but are home by 3:30pm most days. We are also available to help on weekends and holidays. We have a large home with a fenced in yard. We have two fluffy friends of our own (Corby & Molly) who get along well with other animals!
“We love Courtney, she was so sweet with the boys! Sent me some adorable photos of them and we had a quick meet and greet just a couple days before on short notice, so that was super helpful and I greatly appreciated it. I’ll definitely be booking with her again eleven the time arrives. 😊”
“Mariah was absolutely amazing. She even took the time to make our newest addition feel loved and safe. She contacted daily with updates. Even sent pictures. Best pet sitter I've ever used”
“Christina was phenomenal and took care of Oli as if she were one of her own. She was a complete Godsend to us this Christmas season and we would not hesitate for a moment to book her again.”
About: I grew up in a household of many pets and have fostered multiple animals of my own. I have experience with the smallest puppies to the most senior dogs. I have a deep passion for caring for dogs and cats of all breeds and ages and treat each one like they are my own. Safety is my number one priority! I’m new to the app but not new to pet care! I am used to taking care of a multitude of animals and I have open availability to provide care! I am extremely comfortable with dogs and cats of all shapes and ages. Whether your pet needs a nice walk, a quick drop-in visit for a potty break, or their litter boxes cleaned, I’ll make sure they get the care they require!
About: I have experience watching all types of doggos and kittys. Also all ages, I know the older ones take lots of care and comfort. I also have experience with larger animals like horses and cows. I do work the night shift from 10pm- 6am. Even though it’s a weird schedule I have from morning until night to let animals out and spend time with them. I have never had any issues with pet sitting and my schedule. I prefer to watch the animals in the clients home because I feel that it is more comfortable and less stressful on the animals to be in their own environment when their owners are gone.
About: I have raised my dog from 3 weeks old and saved my cat and nursed him back to health at 2 weeks and they are both doing well and are very happy!!! I am free all the time I don’t mind last minute calls and appointments. I love all animals and would take care of them like my own. Every animal deserves love. I treat them like babies honestly. I will feed them,love on them,play with them,and do every thing to make them happy. I am fine with mess and cleaning up after them and doing everything I can for them.
“Kali visited with our cats four times. She was prompt and efficient. She gained Nebula's trust and approbation, and was able to send us many pictures. We certainly hope she will be available the next time we take a weekend away.”

About: “Unlike many sitters, I’m home all day which means your dog gets consistent attention, care, and companionship. I maintain a peaceful, structured home environment and only take a limited number of dogs to ensure each one receives personalized love and supervision. I do not do meet and greets for safety reasons. “Being home full-time allows me to easily incorporate pet care into my daily routine. Your dog will be included in our day with regular walks, playtime, and constant supervision in a relaxed, loving home environment “Dogs in my care enjoy a spacious, fully fenced backyard for safe outdoor play and exercise. I live in a quiet, safe neighborhood ideal for stress-free walks, and I’m located less than a mile from Loxley Municipal Park for extra activity and enrichment opportunities.”
“Jen was fantastic with Olive! He loved playing with her dogs and swimming. He was absolutely exhausted that evening and the next day from all the fun (which is no small feat for a working cocker!). Jen was super responsive and gave great updates throughout the day! We will definitely be sending Olive to stay/play with Jen again!”
“Lindsey and her family are absolutely awesome! They have a clean, safe, and fun home, and they genuinely care about the dogs they host. I felt 100% confident sending my dog to daycare with them, and I plan to continue using their services every week.”
“Kristin's care is like home away from home. We could tell that it was a good experience as Bella had a very waggy tail :) Will reach out again when we need daycare or an overnight stay!”
“My dog Lucy is an anxious yorkie but Maria got her acquainted with the other dogs she had there and said she did fine. She sent pics and updates throughout the day which made us feel better. We are definately doing daycare w Maria again!”

Our house is completely open for play time & running around. :) I have plenty of room & in space in our house to offer during feedings & rest when needed. Will take dogs out as many times as needed & will keeps dogs on a feeding schedule & give treats (if parents allow). If I ever need to leave the house for any reason all dogs will be put into their own kennel, including mine. This just ensures the safety of the pets & of my home. :)

About: Hi my name is Alexis, I’ve been dog sitting for about 7 years now and love getting to care for others dogs when they are away. I’m a stay at home mom and a full time student so our typical day when we are watching someone’s dog is going for two walks a day and play inside/ outside the home. I have a two year old who adores dogs so your companion must be good with children. Upon choosing us to watch your dog or dogs we ask that you bring their food/water bowls, leash, and their toys if they have any. I’m am a stay at home mom so taking care of my daughter and you dog would fit Nicely into our routine. We typically go for walks and work in the garden in the backyard, so your pet will get plenty of time outside with us. When dogs stay with us they typically are able to roam the house freely. At night I do crate your dog as we have had dogs in the past chew furniture out of anxiety separation from their owner.
About: I absolutely love both cats and dogs. I am willing to care for animals in my home or your home, whichever you prefer. I am available for long term and short time care. I am currently working part time but would prefer pet sitting. With enough bookings I would be able to quit my part time job. My shifts right now are mostly 3 to 6 hours. I have a small fenced yard if you prefer your pets stay at my home. My back door has access to the fenced yard. Your pets would have free reign of my home including furniture and beds.
About: I’ve pet sat for the many dogs and cats of my neighbors and friends! I also grew up with a range of animals, from cats to turtles, to hamsters and bunnies! I absolutely love animals, especially dogs and cats! I have puppy training experience as well! Pet sitting is second best to owning all the animals in the world! I am currently a stay at home mom, with a part time position, only on Saturday mornings! I also attend church on Sunday mornings! Besides those two mornings, I will be home to give your pet around the clock care and affection! One way I care for pets either in our home, or in a clients home, is by giving around the clock care! Giving lots of affection and attention, walks, and potty breaks, so your pet has a wonderful time, and is distracted from missing their owners!
About: I have stayed in homes for several days caring for three dogs, ensuring they received attention, exercise, and routine care. I’ve also provided traditional pet sitting services, checking in on dogs, feeding them, and taking them for walks. I am extremely detail-oriented and committed to following all instructions exactly as given to ensure pets remain comfortable, safe, and happy whether they are in their home environment or mine. I am a college student home for the summer and I am working a part time job 20 hours per week at Lake Forest Racquet Club. Therefore, I have a very flexible schedule as I usually only work from 7 A.M. to 12 P.M. four days a week. Whether caring for pets in my home or a client’s, I prioritize safety, structure, and stimulation. In a client’s home, I strictly follow all instructions and respect their space while maintaining a calm and clean environment for the pet. In my own home, I ensure pets receive plenty of attention, mental stimulation, and physical activity through regular walks and playtime. I truly strive to create a comfortable setting where pets feel secure and cared for at all times!

“This was Ellie's second time with Christina and she settled right in. Christina sent pictures and updates, which was VERY much appreciated. Will continue to use Christina going forward! ❤”

I always follow your pet’s routine closely to help them feel safe and comfortable while you’re away. I’m very clean and respectful of your home and treat every space as if it were my own. My goal is to make sure you come home to a happy pet and peace of mind.

I have a deep passion for caring for dogs and cats of all breeds and ages and treat each one like they are my own. Safety is my number one priority! I’m new to the app but not new to pet care! I am used to taking care of a multitude of animals and I have open availability to provide care! I am extremely comfortable with dogs and cats of all shapes and ages. Whether your pet needs a nice walk, a quick drop-in visit for a potty break, or their litter boxes cleaned, I’ll make sure they get the care they require!
About: I have raised my dog from 3 weeks old and saved my cat and nursed him back to health at 2 weeks and they are both doing well and are very happy!!! I am free all the time I don’t mind last minute calls and appointments. I love all animals and would take care of them like my own. Every animal deserves love. I treat them like babies honestly. I will feed them,love on them,play with them,and do every thing to make them happy. I am fine with mess and cleaning up after them and doing everything I can for them.
About: Hi Rover, friends! My name is Mariah. I currently work as a dispatcher here in Baldwin County and love pet sitting on the side! I love all animals and have grown up around many fur babies. I have experience with all ages, along with giving medication. I am available Wednesdays-Fridays and every other Saturday. I work 12 hour shifts from Sundays-Tuesdays and every other Saturday! Please reach out if I can be of any assistance for you and your fur babies! I’d love to hear from you! ☺️ Thanks so much for looking and considering me for your pets needs. I’m currently working as a dispatcher for Baldwin County! My off days are Wednesdays-Fridays and every other Saturday. I work 12 hour shifts from Sunday-Tuesday and every other Saturday. I’d love to meet all clients before hand just to make sure I am a good fit - I enjoy all types of breeds and have plenty of experience with larger breeds! I only sit at clients houses at the moment.
About: Hey. My Names Haley and I’m the owner of Modern Dog Spa right here in Robertsdale. I own and groom full time. I also now offer walking. Pet sitting, and more! Wednesday-Saturday I’m off work and am home all day to care for your pets. I can take them on walks or just enjoy the nice yard. I have a fenced in yard and three dogs to keep your pup company. I can help work on basic training while they are at my home also.
About: I have been raised around dogs my entire life and as a pet owner myself I understand the desire to have someone with valid experience to watch your fur baby for you. For the last two years I managed an animal rescue and fostered while overseas. While in my home, your pet will have a separate room to play and sleep until they are comfortable and they will have a safe, fenced yard and friends to run around with. Safety and fun are the top priorities while your baby is in my care. I work remotely from home as a writer, giving me ample time to be home with and care for your fur baby. I can walk with them and entertain them as you would like and then pet and love on them immediately after. I have a fenced in yard, as well as a separate room set-up to house your pet. I also have extra kennels, litter boxes, food bowl and leashes, so that if kenneling or extra supplies are needed, I am always ready.
About: I’ve been taking care of dogs, since I was about to be seven. I took care of my families and neighbors animals. Till I got out of high school. I’m currently looking for a job. But I’m hoping this job will help me rediscover my passion to be a vet tech. Because I put that dream aside for my kids. I have a fenced in yard. I have one furry baby, and two kids. My kids are six and a newborn. So your furry friends will have lots of love.
About: I have experience watching all types of doggos and kittys. Also all ages, I know the older ones take lots of care and comfort. I also have experience with larger animals like horses and cows. I do work the night shift from 10pm- 6am. Even though it’s a weird schedule I have from morning until night to let animals out and spend time with them. I have never had any issues with pet sitting and my schedule. I prefer to watch the animals in the clients home because I feel that it is more comfortable and less stressful on the animals to be in their own environment when their owners are gone.

“Sofia has been the perfect host for Teddy ! I cannot recommend her enough. She was so gentle and caring for Teddy, he could not have been in a better home! Thank you again Sofia !”
“I know Charlie and Lucy will be well taken care of when they are with Corey. I really appreciate the convenience of having the pups picked up and dropped off as part of their stay. Great communication throughout the pups' stay and the pictures are priceless.”
“Jennifer is the best!!! Henry (an only dog) was so happy there, and so enjoyed his vacation and playing with Jennifer and her dogs, he acted like he wanted to stay 😁. We’re so grateful for her giving Henry a home away from home - and she takes amazing photos and kept us updated on the good times he was having. His next stay with her is already booked!”
“10/10 fur-baby-sitter! Celeste and her husband were very helpful when moving the dog crate in and out of their home. Celeste would also consistently send me pictures and updates about my fur baby while I was away! They were very accommodating to his odd tendencies and high maintenance, and they even sent him home with a little doggy goodie bag! I think my pet had a fun little weekend, especially since he had other dogs to keep him company, and I am very happy with the service given by Celeste and their husband. I will be using them again whenever I take another trip out of town!”
“Terri is absolutely amazing. This was our first time using Rover and we were hesitant with leaving our baby with a stranger but that was quickly resolved after speaking with Terri, who even offered a meet & greet a few days prior to the booking. She is very quick and responsive to our questions and sent pictures and videos of our frenchie enjoying his time with her. She also has a pup named Zeus who is the chillest and sweetest dog ever. We will definitely be rebooking with her.”
“This was my very first experience using Rover and Kemarie was wonderful. She provided lots of pictures and updates on my dogs activities and was quick with all communications. Plus, she is super close by to me. My Elsa had a great weekend!”
“Christina and Gabriel provided lots of attention and love to buttercup and when she came back, she was much better behaved and much calmer! Thank you both so much for opening your home and your heart to our pet! We are forever indebted to you, Debbie”
“Terwrin is awesome! She cared for my Dougie as if he were her own fur-baby! He wasn’t stressed when I picked him up! It is comforting to know he is being so well treated when we have to leave him. I hope to leave him with her next time we need a sitter!”
“Caroline was absolutely amazing with our sweet Jackson! We needed a sitter the same day, and she came through for us without hesitation. She kept us updated, communicated every step of the way, and treated Jackson like he was her own. It gave us so much peace of mind knowing he was in such loving hands. We couldn’t have asked for a better experience and would recommend Caroline to anyone looking for someone they can truly trust with their fur baby. Thank you again ..we’ll definitely be booking with you in the future!”
“We are so fortunate to have found Belinda on Rover. We are 1,000 miles from home, going on a week long cruise, and leaving our dog (Lincoln) with a non-family member for the time. Belinda was so kind and informative during our meet and great as she answered all our questions and made us (including Lincoln🐕🦺) very comfortable and at ease. Lincoln just completed a one night stay so he could acclimate to his new surroundings. Belinda shared pictures of him lying on his pillow, eating, and playing in their yard. Lincoln had a great time and we are excited and grateful for him to be staying at Belinda’s when leave for a week. Great communication and always responds right away!”
“Penny spent a week with Lindsey and her pack and she seemed to be very happy and content with her stay. Lindsey provided updates every morning and evening, letting me know that Penny had eaten her food and what she had done for the day. She also included pictures in which I could tell Penny was having fun. During her visit it was July 4 and Penny is extremely scared of fireworks. Lindsey made a safe space for Penny and checked on her consistently. I feel that Penny was in good hands with Lindsey and her family. I would not hesitate to leave Penny with Lindsay again!”
“Melanie was awesome and so accommodating with my last minute request! She provided daily updates and photos of my dog, Pearl. Would definitely leave more than 5 stars if I could and would absolutely recommend to others!”
“Kate and her family are amazing! Our dogs were right at home and so well loved and spoiled, I wondered if they would even want to come home! I was very nervous to use a sitter I was not familiar with, but I swear they are basically family now. I cannot recommend her enough!!”
“Ashley was so great with Brick! She was very understanding of his high-energy and she let him play with her dogs! We got lots of pictures and videos of him playing and lounging, and she made sure to stick to his medication schedule! We'd for sure use them again!”
