“From the moment I contacted them they got right back to me and we're very responsive. That is important to me. They kept us updated the entire time with pictures comments and even a couple of video clips. This was our first time but we will definitely use them again in the future. We felt our dog was truly being cared for and loved and taken care of which is the most important part.”

“Donna did a wonderful job at making my little Lucy comfortable while we traveled! I believe it has benefited her to be able to spend time with her doggie pals and her new Auntie and Uncle! Donna is excellent at boarding. I highly recommend!❤️”

“Brett did a great job with Emmett! He was well cared for, got to walk, and play with other dogs. Brett responded to messages quickly and was easy to reach. Will definitely use Brett again!”

“Shume did a wonderful job taking care of Sophie! We picked her up after having a bath, and she was warn out from playing with friends so much! I would not only recommend Shume, but I would also use her for all my future doggie needs!”

“I highly recommend Mollie! She was absolutely phenomenal with Hazel and regularly provided updates and photos. Knowing my dog was in such good hands gave me so much peace of mind while I was on vacation. She will be perfect for any of your pup’s needs!”

“Steven welcomed our two sister mini-dachshunds into his house for a week while my family went on vacation. As these are senior dogs (15+), they do have some special needs, but Steven handled both with care and attention while sending us daily updates with pictures. We are so grateful for Steven and his family for the care they gave to our babies.”


“I've left my baby Mojo at his vet for boarding and with family always needed some meds to get him through not with Melanie wonderful videos and pics to prove it Mojo and Stella played so well together Melanie did so much for us I will be using her for all my times away Thank you Melanie and Stella”

“Juyne provided excellent care for Kace. Her communication was prompt and effective, giving me confidence in Kace’s well-being. Daily updates and photos during Kace’s stay further reassured me. I highly recommend their services.”

“Wonderful dog sitter! She is very reliable, clear with communication and attentive to my dog. Penny was happy in every photo that was sent, it was clear she was well cared for, and comfortable in the home. Highly recommend!”

“Kelsey and her family were so great watching our dog during our extended vacation! Our dog came home happy and exhausted! They were very communicative throughout the stay and sent pictures. They also promptly dropped off and picked up our dog to the minute they said they would. Would definitely trust and leave our dog with Kelsey again!”

“Thank you so much for taking such great care of Maze and Luna!!!! Getting pictures everyday was wonderful!!!! I will definitely be using you in the future!!! Highly recommend!!!!”

“Our boys became an extension to Sean and Dianna from the start. They loved playing in the pool and making new friends so much that I don’t think they missed us at all! And I wouldn’t want it any other way!!! We were provided updates of their happenings throughout the day by pictures, videos, and messages. It was so comforting to have absolute peace of mind that my pups were happy. I will 100% be booking with them again.”

“Erin kept both of my dogs while I was on a trip. She sent me pictures and updates on them which I really appreciated. My girls seemed super happy when I picked them up. They were definitely well taken care of!”

“James & Emily were great with our Honey Jo! They sent us pictures, had great communication, and walked Honey during her stay with them. We were traveling by plane so our trip timing was up in the air, but James & Emily were flexible with our drop off & pick up times. Would love to use them again!”

“Dasha (and her little lady) were fantastic! Not only did she take great care of my 150-lb beast of a lapdog, she also took great care of my home. My house and my pup…both were like I hadn’t been gone at all. It’s obvious she treats the dogs in her care with lots of love and laughter. I can’t recommend her strongly enough!”


“This was our first time boarding with Becky and she was wonderful with our dog Daisy! She sent us pictures every day and she had a wonderful time. We will definitely be coming back. Thank you Becky!”

“Bekah was so wonderful with both of our cats!

Will definitely be asking Bekah to care for them again!”

“Mollie took excellent care of our fur babies! She sent so many reassuring pictures. We are new to the area and don’t know anyone but she was absolutely wonderful! We will definitely be asking her to watch them anytime we need to go away from home overnight!”


“Elizabeth always does a great job taking care of our cats! This time she took care of our cats and aquariums. She always sends thoughtful follow ups after each visit with photos of everyone, and she lets us know what’s going on with the cats when needed. We appreciate her so much!”

“Alex was wonderful! My cat’s stay ended up being shorter than expected, and she was super understanding and accommodating! She was very attentive and caring towards my cat and provided consistent updates every single day. I would book with her again.”


“INCREDIBLE PET SITTER! I've lived in multiple states and she's the best I've had by far. She went above and beyond to take care of my floof! I'm so grateful. Just the best!”


About: I have several older/disabled cats which require aid in mobility, cosequin, and semi frequent vet visits for various issues that arise. So I have plenty of experience in caring for kitty cats that need extra help. So if you have a senior cat that needs extra help you're in good hands.
“First, let me say I was so nervous about boarding my kitten, Pixie that I seriously considered canceling my entire trip. However, after meeting Meaghan & Johnny, I had no worries that she would be well taken care of. I was not disappointed!!! Between the messages, pictures, and videos of her stay, I could tell that she was being treated like one of their own. What more could I ask for? I will never consider leaving her with anyone else!! Thank you, Meaghan & Johnny!”


“Meagan is amazing. Our fur-babies felt loved and comfortable with her staying at our home and enjoyed the comforting cuddles and playtime. So much that the cats wanted more of our attention to play cause they were in such a happy and playful mood when we returned! I highly recommend and am grateful Meagan could care for our kitties.”

About: I love others pets like I love my own. I’ve had my own dog since I was 17 and took care of her in any way needed. I’m knowledgeable on a lot of things dealing with dogs as well as cats. I trained both of my dogs myself to sit, shake, and listen to basic commands. I’m currently working Monday- Friday during the day. Any drop in visits you may need after 5pm I can do! As for the weekends, I am free to watch over your babies. I keep my schedule updated so in case I am not available it will let you know! I have a fenced in back yard where my dog stays. So if you would like your dog to have some doggie playtime she would enjoy that! If not that is completely fine and if you have a crate that you would like your pet to stay in I will use that! Whatever works for you!
About: Since I was a child, I've been raising and taking care of animals of all shapes and sizes. I've nursed plenty of bottle babies- kittens, puppies and even rodents and farm animals. I've worked at the Chattanooga Zoo and volunteered at shelters across the country, so there's nothing you can throw at me that I haven't seen before! I currently work full-time 5 days a week, 8-10 hour shifts, so I have to schedule around that. The rest of my day will be dedicated to your pet(s)! I love matching a pet's energy and I'm happy hanging out on the couch or running circles in the yard- whatever the situation calls for!

“Meaghan and her family did such a great job with Kylo! He had the best day playing with the kids and their pets. It was so good to know he was having a blast and being taken care of while we were gone for a long day at the ball field!”

“Juyne was so kind and loving to my puppy. It was my first time trying someone watching my puppy in their home so I was nervous. They treated her like she was their own puppy and loved on her all day. I appreciated all the photos Juyne sent me through the day so I could see how much fun they were having.”

“First time using Colleen for daycare, she did a wonderful job with our little picky guy. Teddy had a great time playing and snuggling each day. Communication each day went smoothly. Colleen made drop off and pickup a breeze. We will definitely use her again.”

“Ben is one of the best dog sitters Lamby’s met! He was available last minute and even helped us with transport as we only had our RV and finding a pet friendly taxi in town was challenging. Lamb Chop almost wanted to stay with Ben he had such a good day, and he was perfectly tuckered out and content after a fun time.”

“Ashley was the best sitter imaginable for our GSD puppy. She sent tons of photos and most importantly, she knew exactly how to care for our pup. GSD’s are special, and Ashley was well-versed of his natural tendencies especially prey drive and protection. We are so grateful for the wonderful time for our sweet pup and she gave us total peace of mind knowing he was in very capable hands. Will re-book with Ashley next time we come to Huntsville!”

About: I have owned and cared for dogs since I was a young child. Dogs are a joy and I love having them around. Each and every dog I’ve cared for gets plenty of attention within my household. Special care requests will be accommodated as much as possible. I am retired and a stay at home dad. This allows me to be home with your fur baby throughout the day and night. Your pup will have constant and consistent supervision throughout the day. If I need to leave the house for any reason, all dogs will be put in their safe place. I have a fenced yard and three small friendly dogs. I can crate your pup if requested or easily separate any dogs when needed. I do have plenty of dog toys for your pup to enjoy. During feeding time, all dogs are separated and watched closely.
“I’m happy to bring my pup to Kira’s for daycare! I believe he likes coming (if only dogs could talk and tell us what they’re thinking haha) and I know they love having him! I appreciate how much they love my dog and that they take good care of him. Kira has also helped me out and boarded him unexpectedly and with little notice, and she was happy to help me out. I would definitely recommend them for daycare & boarding!”

“Great communication. Flexible timing. August was so warm and welcoming to our girls. Accepted our last minute request and allowed us a dog-free day of adventure along our road trip.”

“Kristi was easy to work with and provided great updates and sent pictures to let us know that our little ones were well taken care of. Would recommend use and recommend her.”

About: I've had dogs since I was a little girl. A nurse who has cared for dogs all of my life and animal health care knowledge I work full time from home, so your pets will always have someone at home. Your dog will have a full time sitter with them. I have a fenced home with a doggie patio door installed in the back patio door for your dog to have free access to my backyard which is fenced. My home is clean, spacious and dog friendly for your dog.
About: I have 3 years of experience caring for my own Border Collie, so I’m very comfortable with active, energetic dogs and understand the importance of regular exercise, attention, and playtime. I also regularly care for a friend’s dog when their family travels to Korea, sometimes for about two months at a time. During these extended stays, I provide daily feeding, walks, playtime, and lots of love and attention. I personally provide all pet care for my Rover bookings and will be the sole caregiver for the pets in my care. I treat every dog like part of the family and make sure they feel safe, comfortable, and loved while their owners are away. Pet care is already part of my daily routine because I have my own Border Collie. I’m used to planning my day around feeding, walks, playtime, and exercise. My schedule is flexible, so I can give your dog plenty of attention and make sure they get the care and activity they need throughout the day. I have a spacious, fully fenced backyard where dogs can safely play and get plenty of exercise. My home also has a friendly Border Collie who is comfortable being around other dogs. Three children live in the home—one in high school, one in middle school, and one in 5th grade—and they are used to being around dogs and love animals. I understand that every dog has a different personality and routine, so I always follow the owner’s instructions carefully. I personally make sure each dog gets plenty of attention, exercise, potty breaks, fresh water, and a safe and comfortable place to relax. I’ll treat your dog like family while they’re staying in my home.

About: I’ve cared for dogs and cats for friends and family, ranging from drop-ins to housesits! I work remotely, so I have the flexibility to be present and give your pets the care and attention they need. I’ve grown up with both dogs and cats since I was a baby, so I’m a huge animal lover and treat every pet like my own. 🤍 I’m caring, patient, and will absolutely make sure your furbabies get plenty of love and attention! I work remotely, so I’m home throughout the day and have a flexible schedule that allows me to give pets plenty of attention and care. I can easily work regular potty breaks, meals, playtime, walks, and cuddles into my day. Given this, I have full availability all week! I have a 1,500 sq. ft. apartment, so there is plenty of room for your furbaby to comfortably roam and play! I share the apartment with my partner, Liam, who is a huge animal lover and very friendly with pets! I’ll always be the primary and sole caregiver for your pet, but he’ll be around the apartment here and there during their stay to give some extra love. :) My community also has an on-site dog park, multiple grassy areas, and paved walking trails, giving us lots of options for potty breaks, walks, and playtime. 🐾 In a client’s home, I’m respectful of their space and follow their instructions and their pet’s normal routine closely. Regardless of where I’m caring for your pet, I make sure doors and gates are secure, pets are appropriately supervised, and they have plenty of opportunities for potty breaks, play, and rest. I’ll also provide regular updates and photos throughout your pet’s stay so you always know your furbaby is safe, happy, and doing well! ❤️

“Oh sweet Annalyse! I’m so grateful that she was so prompt in all of her communication with me as we worked out the best timing for her to walk Wylie. She was kind natured and accommodating and gave Wylie a great walk around our neighborhood. I’m excited to have found a backup plan when my schedule is to busy.”


About: Enthusiastic dog and cat lover. Exotic pets welcome! Perfectly capable of handling any cleanup necessary. No experience with "extremely" disabled pets but I'd love to gain some! I don't smoke, I have reliable transportation, and I'm a fervent cruelty free advocate! I have 6 pets of my own, 2 dogs & 4 cats. Milo orange male, George orange male, Cashew orange male, Prim tabby female. Olive black lab, Sabrina chocolate lab. I'm able and eager to care for big & small animals of all breeds. I'd love to work with hamsters, mice, gerbils, rats, etc. I had rats from 2021-2023. I'm not afraid of "bully" breeds, truly I adore them. If you have any questions feel free to message me! I'm unemployed at the moment (8/6/26) so I've endless time for pet play and care! I somewhat frequently have to administer medication to my older pets for various reasons. If your pet needs that I can provide with proper teaching from you, just to make sure I don't make a mistake. I cannot currently care for your pets at my home, not with 6 of my own. However I can play with, exercise with, feed, water, walk, and give lots of love to your fur baby.
About: I have always had pets growing up and my love for them has grown into my adulthood even more. I have a passion for learning and understanding all different types of animals. My experience in Pet Care is from owning my own pets and caring for family, friends and volunteering over the years. My husband works nights and I work days so there is always someone home to make sure your fur baby is taken care of and loved on! Our residence features ample space in the garage, and a spacious fenced-in backyard. As pet owners ourselves, with two golden doodles and a cat, we understand the stress associated with leaving them behind. Consequently, we would provide a nurturing environment, treating boarded pets like our own, with generous playtime outside of their kennels and the attention and affection they are accustomed to receiving at home. ❤️

About: I’ve taken care of all types of animals pretty much since I could walk. My family has had chickens, quail, pigs, horses, goats, guinea pigs, and of course dogs and cats! I’ve also worked as a ranch hand at a goat farm for 2+ years. Currently the only doggie I can call my own is my sweet Nala. She is a mini schnauzer who loves people and is quick to play with other pups. I currently work part time and attend college on Mondays and Wednesdays. So I can almost always sit or board Thursday-Saturday. I love walking and jogging so I’m always up for that. I’m currently in the midst of moving into an apartment with my best friend who also owns a friendly collie named Josie. And I have my sweet Nala. I will be able to board in the future but it will probably not be till September-October.
About: I am a CMA, and have worked in 4 vets offices over the years. I can give medication (oral, topicals or shots). I have been a groomer for 9ish years (traveling to homes and in grooming shops). I also come packing a huge heart ready to love whatever babies you have. I have cared for them all and really to care for yours!💜 I recently had surgery in March but have been cleared for work. I am a mobile groomer for myself so my schedule is very flexible. Working with vets/in hospitals, I have learned the best way to keep your animals safe and happy is to stay in their own home. Cars and new environments can cause a lot of stress or anxiety. Drop in visits and house sitting keeps your pet in a safe and comfortable place without the exposure to others or their pets.
About: Have been a pet owner all of my life, and experience with all types of animals. I just recently moved to the Huntsville area and have a fenced in backyard on 10 acres of land, toys and a dog of my own who loves playtime and friends. I will have an open schedule and will be home full-time. My schedule will be very flexible, I am looking for one time sitter needs or ongoing scheduled needs. I have a large house with plenty of space for indoor relaxing, and a fenced backyard for exercise & playtime. I have one medium sized dog (Labrador Retriever mix) who is very friendly, both to people and dogs.

About: Hi, I’m Aunya! I’ve been providing pet care through Rover since 2018 and have experience with drop-in visits, dog walking, and house sitting. I’m dependable, patient, and treat every pet like family. My goal is to keep your pets happy, safe, and comfortable while you’re away. I carefully plan my schedule to ensure every pet receives the time, attention, and care they deserve. I only accept bookings I can fully commit to. I follow each pet’s normal routine to help them feel safe and comfortable while you’re away. From feeding and walks to playtime, fresh water, and lots of love, I provide dependable care while treating your home and pets with the utmost respect.
About: I am trustworthy, reliable and friendly. I love animals and they love me! I have been a dog owner for 15 years and now it’s time for me to pay it forward and give peace of mind that your babies are well taken care of I am semi-retired so my schedule is usually wide open. I have a Chihuahua that is my world and I love spending time with her here I have a fenced in backyard, security cameras, and plenty of room in the house. Toys, treats and plenty of food and water. They will feel loved in this house
About: I’m an animal person through and through. I’ve been around dogs since I was a little boy at the age of 5. I’ve taken care of family, neighbor, and even stray pets/animals and take pride in my ability to get on the good side of any creature. Firm believer that there is no such thing in a bad dog, only misunderstood ones. I have one dog (the handsome black lab), but sometimes have my mother in law’s two dogs over. They’re all well behaved and sociable. I work from home and typically have a lot of spare time in my day to take care of pets. I make sure to take my dog to the park everyday and see to it that he gets proper exercise and will be sure to make sure your dogs get the same. I don’t go anywhere most weekends so I’m available for boarding and anything else more or less all the time. I live in a 4 bedroom house with a big yard and sunroom so plenty of space for play. I have several parks located within ten minutes of me and walking trails nearby too so your pup will never be bored.
About: I've grown up with dogs my entire life, and in the last five years, have raised three puppies into well-behaved, mature dogs, and cared for my two senior dogs until they passed. I personally trained my youngest dog and she is the best-behaved pup in public! I have experience with administering medication, grooming, training, feeding routines, and overall handling, especially dogs that are skittish or fearful. All of these skills helped me excel in both of my kennel assistant positions. I am patient and fully willing to provide care for senior or injured pets, as they hold a special place in my heart. I'm currently a full-time student at MSU, and will share my schedule when a booking request is made. I have gaps between my classes, and am generally done with school around 12 pm on T/TH and around 2-3pm on M/W/F. Again, I have gaps between classes so I am available at different times of day. I am fully free on the weekends! I have three dogs and two cats currently living at home, while I have my third car with me at college. My college car is also blind and one of my home dogs has a torn CCL, but they both are adored all the same. I wouldn't change it for the world! My dogs are on radio collars on occasion (generally when strays begin to appear), but more often than not, they are inside-outside dogs and are let out on average 4-6x a day. My own dog, Felix, has the torn CCL and gets leashwalked 4-6x a day as well. All of my cats are free-fed dry food, and my blind kitty gets fed a special dry food. My oldest cat (13 yrs) is also fed wet food as an additional food, 1-2x a day. Their litter box is cleaned weekly, as we do not scoop, but I do scoop my blind cat's litter box daily, as she is the only cat in the dorm and the box is suited specifically for her. In my clients home, I will follow any and all rules and regulations laid out of me. I love "excessive details" as they give me a better idea of how to properly care for the pets. I follow feeding times and amounts to a T, and double, triple, sometimes quadruple-checking amounts of everything, whether it be food, medications, or the amount of excrement I find. If anything looks off (behavior, excrement, appetite, etc.) the owner is immediately notified with a mentality of "what do you want me to do next?" My goal is to treat the pet as good as the owner does, in the time I am around them. On walks, I encourage proper walking skills (heeling, low reactivity), and try to help teach dogs as I do so. If allowed by the owner, I'd use low-calorie, high-reward treats with a clicker tool to help refine walking skills. This way the pet gets mental and physical stimulation, while being able to still be themself.

“Wonderful dog sitter! She is very reliable, clear with communication and attentive to my dog. Penny was happy in every photo that was sent, it was clear she was well cared for, and comfortable in the home. Highly recommend!”

“Kelsey and her family were so great watching our dog during our extended vacation! Our dog came home happy and exhausted! They were very communicative throughout the stay and sent pictures. They also promptly dropped off and picked up our dog to the minute they said they would. Would definitely trust and leave our dog with Kelsey again!”

“Thank you so much for taking such great care of Maze and Luna!!!! Getting pictures everyday was wonderful!!!! I will definitely be using you in the future!!! Highly recommend!!!!”

“Our boys became an extension to Sean and Dianna from the start. They loved playing in the pool and making new friends so much that I don’t think they missed us at all! And I wouldn’t want it any other way!!! We were provided updates of their happenings throughout the day by pictures, videos, and messages. It was so comforting to have absolute peace of mind that my pups were happy. I will 100% be booking with them again.”

“Erin kept both of my dogs while I was on a trip. She sent me pictures and updates on them which I really appreciated. My girls seemed super happy when I picked them up. They were definitely well taken care of!”

“James & Emily were great with our Honey Jo! They sent us pictures, had great communication, and walked Honey during her stay with them. We were traveling by plane so our trip timing was up in the air, but James & Emily were flexible with our drop off & pick up times. Would love to use them again!”


“This was our first time boarding with Becky and she was wonderful with our dog Daisy! She sent us pictures every day and she had a wonderful time. We will definitely be coming back. Thank you Becky!”

“Highly recommended! I received updates with pictures and videos during my dog’s stay which made me feel at ease while I was away. This is a very pet friendly environment and I’d recommend to anyone as a great place to board your pet while you’re away!”

“Katelynn was so sweet and so helpful! She was able to take in Winter super last minute and handle my spaz of a doggo with grace. If I was able to give more than 5 stars, I absolutely would. She kept me updated and informed. I would recommend her to anyone who needs a sitter for their fur babies!”

About: I’m caring for a five year old Siberian Husky with my wife. I’m good at handling strong pulling breeds and I love spending time in play and taking pictures of them! I’m currently working a job on Mon, Tue, Thur, Fri with flexibility. I’m usually open for weekend boards and Wednesday drop ins. Hope to open my schedule to more of this work in the future. I have a spacious 2 bed. Your dog can be separated from mine and/or crated. We have access to a large community double sided dog park.
“The VERY BEST in and around the Huntsville area. My dog had an emergency and her prompt identification of symptoms and response saved his life. Incredibly kind and communicative. Beautiful home and amenities. Cannot recommend highly enough (even though I selfishly want to keep her to myself!!!)”

“First time using rover and I was a little nervous, but Kayla was wonderful with our golden doodle! Great fenced in yard with plenty of room to run and play, as well as a couple sweet dogs of her own that made perfect playmates. Sent pics and updates every few hours. Would definitely use her again!!”
