Highly-rated overnight sitters - Independence
“Christina and Austin have been Wonderful caring for our Theo. He has stayed with them twice now. We’re Thankful for the daily pictures and updates on Theo’s day 😊 We definitely recommend them if you need a pet sitter.”
“Katie is truly the best. Every time Munch goes to her house, he lights up with pure joy. He adores playing with her little one and running around with his doggy buddies—he settles in so quickly, it’s like he’s been part of their family forever. Katie gives me such peace of mind. She sends regular updates, little snapshots of Munch living his best life, and I can tell he feels completely at home. Honestly, her place has become Munch’s second home. I’m incredibly grateful that she watched Munch for 10 whole days over Thanksgiving. While I was enjoying the holiday, Munch was basically on his own dream vacation—pampered, happy, and surrounded by love. Katie, thank you for treating my boy like your own. You’re a gem. 💛”
“Shelby did an excellent job with our pup! She sent plenty of photos to keep up-to-date and was very understanding when we were not able to pick our pup up at the scheduled time. Highly recommend her for future dog sits!”
“Lee Ann and her family provided exceptional care for my dog Cosmo during my recent 10-day vacation. I couldn't have asked for a better experience! From the moment I dropped Cosmo off, I felt completely at ease. Lee Ann sent updates, which gave me immense peace of mind while I was away. It was clear from every picture and message that Cosmo was not just being looked after, but truly having a great time.”
“Missy and John were amazing! Our dog is blind and needs a lot of attention and patience, but they treated him like he was their own. They sent photo updates and stayed in constant contact with us. They are great sitters and great people.”
“John was a great sitter! My puppy did have some challenges, as he did not get along well with the other dogs. John gave him some time to be outside by himself and kept him in separate area, which worked well. Thanks so much for keeping Oso!”
“Job well done and caring for our little puppy. He didn’t have a home and we were trying to adopt him and things didn’t work out and we needed a border for a few days. Kimberly was the first to respond. my pet was a handful. Super active made accidents in the house ! I know she did her own share of barking and Kimberly never complained. She kept me up-to-date on how my pet was doing and even made a video . She did Amazing with little notice. I was in a real bind— I have nothing but good things to say about her so it is my opinion that Ms Kimberly is a great choice for anyone that needs their pet boarded. Thank you Kimberly . Job well Done.”
“Timothy and Gabriela did a great job watching our 2 dogs - very easy to communicate with and they provided updates on how the dogs were doing! We appreciated how flexible and attentive they were! We plan to book them again in the future.”
“My baby came home tired!! Lol, I know he had an amazing time with Ms Summer. I expressed my concerns to her about his last boarding with a vet in Montgomery. And the fact that he's never been around other dogs to play. She sent pictures when she could catch him. (He's very hyper.) She also updated me every day. I would recommend her for all your sitter needs. My baby came home the exact way I dropped him off. Thank you Ms Summer. We'll be seeing you soon.”
“Tiffany and her family were absolutely amazing with Circe. They updated me everyday with pictures and messages, which made this first timer very happy. I’ve never left my baby with anyone other than family, but I will certainly reach out to Tiffany again in the future!”
“Another awesome experience! Actually, as soon as we turned into Kel's street he got so excited I could not believe! He must have remembered his great time and was anxious to get back. Also, Kel made the drop off and pick so easy that it gave me a break in my hectic life. Thank you very much and see you soon.”
“Cassie is one of the best dog sitters I've had to take care of my dogs. She truly cares and ensured my dogs were comfortable and adjusted on the first encounter. She readily communicated any needs and concerns so regarding my dogs to ensure I had peace of mind and felt at ease being overseas and far away from my dogs. I sincerely appreciate who She is and her passion for dogs. Will recommend her without any reservation.”
“It was our first time leaving our dog on Rover, and the experience was wonderful! My dog is nervous around other dogs, but had a great time with Rebecca's dog. She sent us pictures and made us comfortable that our dog was OK. She took very good care of our dog for a week! I highly recommend her.”
“I’d used rover previously & didn’t have the best experience but She really made me feel comfortable with leaving my dog with them while I was gone away. I will definitely be using her again & 10/10 recommend !”
“Jasmine was amazing with our 50 lb Jindo named Pooka, who loved not going to a kennel while my father took a three day trip. She kept Pooka in her home and took her out to the dog park next door. She sent pictures and updates throughout the weekend and put my father at ease that the dog was well cared for. We will definitely be using her again!”
“Shawn and Jacob are the best! This was my dog Bella’s first weekend with them and they treated her like family. Bella loved playing with their sweetheart dog Sonny, and I felt at ease knowing she was having so much fun. I will definitely use them again!”

About: I’ve taken care of pets as long as I can remember! Lately, I’ve gotten to learn a lot more about pet care because I work as a veterinary receptionist. I take all I know and use it to try to create a better experience for all furry little dudes and dudettes!
About: My partner and I have grown up taking care of pets. We have taken care of dogs and cats of all ages from puppy’s to seniors. We absolutely love spending time with all animals and will treat your fur babies like family. Both of us work part time, so one of us will almost always have the time to come see your pets. We prefer house sitting, to keep your pets comfortable in their own environment. We always have sundays completely free! In the clients home we try to keep the animals on the same schedule as if the client were still there. We love to play and give all the love to each pet.
About: I have had animals my whole life. I love all dogs and cats and would love to help you in any way I can! Thanks I work full time but am available on weekends to care for your animals. If I’m needed during the week I’m available after 5:30pm. Thanks I currently share my home with two amazing pups who keep life entertaining, active, and full of tail wags. Through the years, I've cared for dogs with all kinds of personalities, from energetic adventurers who never slow down to champion couch potatoes who believe naps are an Olympic sport.
“Katrina did a great job dropping in on our babies while we were gone! She was thorough in our meet in greet and took lots of pictures and gave updates for us while she checked in on them.”
About: I’ve taken care of my own dog for the past 5 years. He passed away. I am looking forward to loving your fur-baby like my own. I work full time during the week but I can do overnights if the pet is potty or crate trained. I am available on the weekends for full day care. During the week I can also visit homes for potty breaks and quick lovings. I have a fenced yard and I’m available to walk pets during the week and do drop in home visits. I can also take fur-babies for walks during the weekend.
“Akyra did a great job caring for my two cats! She was very communicative, sent updates, & ensured Fry & Stormi were well taken care of while my husband and i were gone! I highly recommend her for drop in visits!”
About: I bring a level of awareness and skill that goes far beyond basic pet sitting. I’m comfortable with everything from energetic kittens to senior cats with medical needs, including administering medications and monitoring for early signs of illness. I understand feline behavior and body language, which means I know when to engage, when to give space, and how to keep even shy or anxious cats comfortable. My background in clinical care and boarding environments has taught me how to maintain routines, reduce stress, and handle unexpected situations calmly and safely. Whether your cat needs playtime, quiet companionship, or more specialized care, I provide a low-stress, attentive environment where they can feel secure while you’re away. This isn’t just a side gig for me—caring for animals is what I do every day.
About: I have pet care experience from my time spent working at Petsmart. I fed, cleaned up after, and cared for all kinds of animals while working there including chinchillas and cats. I have two dogs and one cat that I have taken care of for a total of 2 years! (Reese, Lottie, and Percy) Growing up I always had a dog so I am a fan of small, medium, and large dogs! I will have plenty of time to care for all pets! This is all I plan to do for work plus possibly running some errands so there will be plenty of care to go around! I have two small dogs and one cat to keep your fur baby company. They have played well with other dogs once getting to know them! Crates are definitely welcome and also recommended at my house especially for overnight care and since all animals may not be immediately used to each other. Pets at my house are taken out on leashes to use the bathroom regularly and watched diligently both outside and inside. They are allowed on the furniture and the bed. I only feed animals in my care when it is recommended by the pet parent but my pets usually receive treats and food that are suitable for their size and age group. Safety is the number one priority with fur babies at my house!
“Tara was great to work with. She clearly cares about animals and their wellbeing- you can be sure you’re leaving yours in good hands! Tara also made sure I felt as comfortable as possible, checked in with tons of photos and happenings daily.”
About: Hey there! My name is Bailee and I have 5 fur babies of my own. My daughter and my pets make my whole world go around. I grew up with dogs, cats, horses, cows, reptiles, and so many more animals! Growing up I would always pet sit for family and friends. Now that I have gotten a little older, I even train dogs on the side. I also rescue and re-home animals that need me. While I did not make a full time career out of pet care, I still can’t let it go completely. I am looking forward to adding your pets to my heart! I am currently working part time and will have plenty of time to care for all of your babies whenever you need me. My schedule will eventually change and more days will be added! I have a fenced in yard and have fur babies of my own to accompany yours. I also have crates in my home and could easily crate your babies if need be. For your home, I am open to whatever your normal routine is for your babies.
“Taqauashia was amazing! This was my first time using Rover and I couldn’t have asked for a better experience. She kept me updated, sent pictures, and took such good care of my cat, Moxie. Moxie is a little shy at first, but she warmed up quickly and was super comfortable—which made me feel so at ease. Everything was smooth, my home was in great shape, and she even brought a package in for me which I really appreciated. I’ll definitely be booking with her again. Highly recommend!”
About: I have had pets of all kinds since the age of 6. My wife and I now have a dog and cat that we have trained ourselves. I have also been trusted in the past by friends and family to take care of dogs and cats of all sizes. I am currently a student at the University of Montevallo, but I will have plenty of time to walk any pets after school during the week. I will also be able to pet and house sit Thursday- Sunday night. I have a friendly dog and cat at my apartment but there is also a dog park here in which they can run and play. In your home I will take them for long walks around the neighborhood so they will be worn out by the time you get home.
About: I've been a pet owner all of my life. I have owned dogs, cats, and exotic pets. I have also worked as a volunteer at my local human shelter. I'm a school bus driver for my local school district. I work a split shift M-F 6-8am and 2:30-4:30pm. I'm usually home during the weekend. For overnight boarding I would prefer drop offs to fall either between my shifts or after 5pm. My fur babies are feed twice a day. Once in the morning and once in the evening. We love the dog park and love walks. They are allowed on the furniture because I love puppy cuddles and so do they.
About: I love animals and have watched my friends pets on various weekends. I have a furry son who is a pit mix and he will NOT be meeting your animal(s.) I am visiting Alabama for most of August before my semester of college starts. I’m only doing Rover this month so I am pretty available:) I leave by the 31st of August. I can do day or night drop ins. I don’t stay the night as I have a fur baby of my own who prefers he not sleep alone :) I will not be able to care for pets at my home. If I was Pet sitting at your home I would walk regularly and snuggle often (if the pet is willing.)

About: I’ll treat your pet as if it was my own. I know basic training skills and I was a vet technician and assistant for awhile. I’m free all hours of the day so I can spend as much time as you need me to with your animal. Doggy outside activities are a must in some cases I understand. I do jog and work out so if it’s a high energized dog we will get along just fine. I stay on schedule so if you have a daily routine I’m one to stick with the instructions. I can bend to the owners needs very flexible with time and availability. Will give baths if need be, I’ve had dogs get dirty in the past. Will meet any need

About: I worked at an Animal clinic, bathing, training, aiding health, walking all types of dogs! Whilst also maintaining cleanliness throughout the entire building. Additionally I've grown up around big dogs, small dogs. Cats of all breeds: even bunnies, horses, turtles, the list goes on! And I love every one. I'm currently between jobs, looking for a part time. So this will be perfect for me! I have plenty of spare time, and would love to spend it taking care of animals. I have fenced yard, 3 friendly pups, two Huskies and a Pyrenees who all love playing. And many friendly kitties! I live in a large neighborhood where people walk dogs all the time. I enjoy training my dog Iris to do all sorts of tricks. Like balancing treats on her nose. And I have plenty of cats toys to entertain them too!
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: Lover of all breeds, I am a stay at home dog mom with lots of time on my hands to bring patience and a gentle touch to dog sitting. I am very skilled in training and flexible with time, I prioritize clear communication with pet owners for their peace of mind. I’d love to care and love on your fur babies 🐾🤍 Pet care fits perfectly into my schedule because I have the flexibility to dedicate my time to it. I currently have weekend availability and full holiday availability! I currently don’t have any other job and about to prioritize pet care full time. At home, I ensure my pets' safety by creating a trusting environment. I pay close attention to their needs and provide a secure space for them to eat, sleep and play. This routine and environment helps to build trust and a safe haven for them.

About: I’ve taken care of pets as long as I can remember! I have learned a lot about pet care over the years. I take all I know and use it to try to create a better experience for all furry little dudes and dudettes! Pet care is already an everyday task for me. Getting the opportunity to take care of more furry little guys would fit right into my normal daily routine! I care for the animals around me like I would care for humans around me. If there’s anything unsafe, it will be handled immediately! Other than safety, I like to ensure the pets around me have adequate food, treats, exercise time, and affection.
About: I've cared for animals ever since I was able to. When my family is away, I look after five dogs, one cat, two guinea pigs, & a fish. I've also cared for goats & chickens. We also have a homemade natural dog treat business that is made with real ingredients with no preservatives, called "Furryheartsbarkery". I currently work a full time job so as long as your fur baby will be okay for a few hours during the days/times i am scheduled to work, i will still have plenty of time to dedicate to their care while you are gone. If your dog needs 24 hour care, I will spend the time with them and take pictures to show you how your fur babies are doing. I can also do a meet and greet with you and your fur babies to see if we get along.

About: I’ve been around animals for as long as I can remember. I spent the first 10 years of my life helping (as much as I could) at the vet clinic where my mom worked. That’s where my passion for animals began. My family has always had animals, and now as an adult my husband and I have 3 dogs, 2 cats and a horse! I also have experience with bunnies, hamsters, snakes, and even flying squirrels! And I love birds. So I’d be happy to help with virtually any animal you have. I have extensive experience caring for animals, I have also worked as a kennel assistant, veterinary receptionist, and a veterinary technician. I would love to help you in ensuring that your pet is happy and well taken care of at the times you can’t be there. I currently stay at home, so I am available at most times throughout the week. Not available on weekends. I am mainly looking to help someone out in the morning through mid afternoon. I do not have a fenced yard, we live on 10 acres and have an electric fence system for our 3 dogs that is about 2 acres. My dogs are friendly and love play dates but that is of course up to you as the owner if you’re comfortable with me not having a fence. We also have a pool that my lab thoroughly enjoys, if your pet likes to swim. I can also crate your pet if needed.
“Very professional and talented!!!! Tara definitely puts in the hard work, does more than expected, and has already created a bond with Oso!!! She keeps me updated and sends me videos of his progress and overall care!!!”
About: Dog sitting is a hobby of mine, I have done this for roughly 8 years for friends & family, excited to extent my services to new clients. Pet care is a regular part of my routine, even with my full-time job from 7 to 4. In the mornings before work, I make sure to feed my pet, refresh their water, and take them out for a walk or bathroom break. After work, I spend quality time with them—whether it’s a longer walk, playtime, or just relaxing together. I’ve built pet care into my daily habits so their needs are always met reliably. In my home, I maintain a safe, pet-friendly environment. I have a fully fenced yard and a medium-sized dog door that allows pets to go outside for bathroom breaks or fresh air as needed, which helps them stay comfortable and active throughout the day. I follow a consistent routine that includes feeding, exercise, playtime, and affection. When caring for pets in a client’s home, I always respect their routine and instructions closely. I make sure pets are fed on schedule, get enough exercise, and feel safe in their environment. I pay attention to details like cleaning up after them, refreshing water, and keeping their living space tidy and secure.

About: I’ve taken care of my own dog for the past 5 years. He passed away. I am looking forward to loving your fur-baby like my own. I work full time during the week but I can do overnights if the pet is potty or crate trained. I am available on the weekends for full day care. During the week I can also visit homes for potty breaks and quick lovings. I have a fenced yard and I’m available to walk pets during the week and do drop in home visits. I can also take fur-babies for walks during the weekend.
About: I bring 6 years of hands-on experience in veterinary medicine, animal care, and pet facility management, which means your pet is getting more than just a sitter—they’re getting someone trained to notice the small things that matter. I’m comfortable caring for pets of all ages and needs, from high-energy puppies who need structure and training reinforcement to senior pets who require patience, medication, and a gentle approach. What sets me apart is my ability to read behavior and respond appropriately. I have experience with dog training, administering medications, monitoring for signs of illness, and handling anxious or reactive pets safely. I’ve worked in everything from boarding environments to clinical settings, so I’m confident managing multiple pets, sticking to routines, and keeping things low-stress. Pet care isn’t just something I do—it’s what I’ve built my career around. I treat every animal like my own and make sure they feel safe, understood, and well cared for while you’re away. I work four long weekdays (6:45 AM–5:30 PM) with an hour break, so I’m best for early morning or evening visits on those days. My days off are fully flexible, perfect for longer visits, walks, or overnight care. Most weekends are wide open, too! I work just one weekend a month, so scheduling around your pet is easy. I’m happy to tailor visits to your pet’s routine—playtime, walks, cuddles, or medication—I’ve got it covered. I care for pets by following their usual routines—feeding, walks, playtime, litter box or potty maintenance, and any medications—so they feel safe and comfortable. Whether in your home or mine, I provide a calm, stress-free environment with plenty of supervision and attention. I monitor behavior and health, tailor visits to each pet’s needs, and make sure they feel happy, secure, and well cared for while you’re away.

About: I have pet care experience from my time spent working at Petsmart. I fed, cleaned up after, and cared for all kinds of animals while working there including chinchillas and cats. I have two dogs and one cat that I have taken care of for a total of 2 years! (Reese, Lottie, and Percy) Growing up I always had a dog so I am a fan of small, medium, and large dogs! I will have plenty of time to care for all pets! This is all I plan to do for work plus possibly running some errands so there will be plenty of care to go around! I have two small dogs and one cat to keep your fur baby company. They have played well with other dogs once getting to know them! Crates are definitely welcome and also recommended at my house especially for overnight care and since all animals may not be immediately used to each other. Pets at my house are taken out on leashes to use the bathroom regularly and watched diligently both outside and inside. They are allowed on the furniture and the bed. I only feed animals in my care when it is recommended by the pet parent but my pets usually receive treats and food that are suitable for their size and age group. Safety is the number one priority with fur babies at my house!
About: Hi my name is Kaylee! I currently have 2 dogs and 2 cats. My dogs are Bennie and Australian Shepherd and June a shelter pup who’s mostly lab an border collie! My 2 cats are Sammy and Bunny! I have many years of pet care experience. I also have experience with senior cat care. My cat Callie passed away 2 years ago at the age of 17. During her final years she had hyperthyroidism so I had to give her methimazole by mouth twice a day and I became good with administration of medications to animals. I also am very aware of the extra care and accommodations senior pets require and find joy in making their last years as comfortable and as easy as possible. I am a nurse in the ER and although I care for humans, I do have extra knowledge of health and medications others may not have. So, if your 4 legged friend has any medical conditions or special requirements i am the sitter for you! I love all animals and hope i have the pleasure of getting to love on your best friend!🤍 My schedule is different from most as I am a nurse who works nights in the ER. However, I am off a lot of weekdays compared to someone who works a typical job. I get my schedule 2 months at a time so you’ll have plenty of time to plan. I also am willing to drop by before I go to work which would be anywhere from about 4:30-6pm or when I get off in the mornings at around 7:30am! My ultimate goal is to keep your babies comfortable. I will walk, play, feed, or just chill out with your animals. Whatever they need of me I will do! I have a privacy fenced in backyard and 2 playful pups of my own to keep your pups company! We frequent the dog park that is 3 minutes from my home, so my dogs are very used to meeting new dogs and have never had any issues making new friends!
About: Hey there! My name is Bailee and I have 5 fur babies of my own. My daughter and my pets make my whole world go around. I grew up with dogs, cats, horses, cows, reptiles, and so many more animals! Growing up I would always pet sit for family and friends. Now that I have gotten a little older, I even train dogs on the side. I also rescue and re-home animals that need me. While I did not make a full time career out of pet care, I still can’t let it go completely. I am looking forward to adding your pets to my heart! I am currently working part time and will have plenty of time to care for all of your babies whenever you need me. My schedule will eventually change and more days will be added! I have a fenced in yard and have fur babies of my own to accompany yours. I also have crates in my home and could easily crate your babies if need be. For your home, I am open to whatever your normal routine is for your babies.

About: Dog sitting is a hobby of mine, I have done this for roughly 8 years for friends & family, excited to extent my services to new clients. Pet care is a regular part of my routine, even with my full-time job from 7 to 4. In the mornings before work, I make sure to feed my pet, refresh their water, and take them out for a walk or bathroom break. After work, I spend quality time with them—whether it’s a longer walk, playtime, or just relaxing together. I’ve built pet care into my daily habits so their needs are always met reliably. In my home, I maintain a safe, pet-friendly environment. I have a fully fenced yard and a medium-sized dog door that allows pets to go outside for bathroom breaks or fresh air as needed, which helps them stay comfortable and active throughout the day. I follow a consistent routine that includes feeding, exercise, playtime, and affection. When caring for pets in a client’s home, I always respect their routine and instructions closely. I make sure pets are fed on schedule, get enough exercise, and feel safe in their environment. I pay attention to details like cleaning up after them, refreshing water, and keeping their living space tidy and secure.
