“Tatiana took very good care of Benny! She sent daily pictures and messages. She was also very flexible when my flight was delayed. I would definitely recommend her for your pet!”
“Danielle is the absolute best, and I’ll hear nothing to the contrary. This was my first time using Rover, and the sitter I originally booked cancelled on me morning of, but Danielle accepted our last minute request on a holiday weekend. I have an old dog with arthritis and medication who can be a picky eater at times, but that was no issue for Danielle. She not only made me feel at ease with constant updates and pictures, but she exercised and socialized him, and he may like her more than me now. My only regrets with this review are that everyone else will book her now and she’ll be unavailable next time we need boarding for a weekend”
“Barrie loved my dog so well! He had lots of love and attention and was so happy when I came to pick him up. Will definitely rebook when I am in Birmingham again.”
“Cody watched our dog for a pretty long time while we were away. He made our pup feel right at home the entire time as we could tell from all the consistent updates and pictures! He got plenty of walks, playtime, and some lazy time on the couch of course! Cody was responsive and easy to communicate with. We were so glad to have a sitter we could depend on while traveling. Cody is the best!”
“I was happy to find Ray at the last minute. He was great! He updated me every day with new pictures and videos. My pup had a great time exploring the yard and going for walks. I would book Ray again!”
“Sarah was wonderful! She sent daily pictures, had a great set up at her house for pet care, was friendly, fast to respond and flexible. She was a joy to work with and I will be contacting her again next time.”
“My baby had an amazing time with Amiee. She sent regular updates and photos, and reassured me, since it was his first time staying with anyone else. Got him back this morning, and she was able to help us out when we had to extend. I'd be happy to bring him back anytime :)”
“Falone was great! She was very flexible and understanding with our drop off and pickup times. The dogs had lots of walks, and we recurved so many photos! She even went to the store to grab the exact dog food we forgot. Literally a lifesaver.”
“Katherine watched my pooch Bella and with every picture she texted me, Bella looked very excited, happy and loved while we were away for the Mother's Day weekend at that! Thank you soooo very much Katherine for watching Bella for me! I will definitely keep you as my puppy sitter! You were absolutely wonderful!! 🤗”
“Kmya was awesome! Very responsive and kind. My cat had a good time and was safe. Kmya sent pictures of my Lil fur baby without being prompted. I'll definitely tell everyone about her!”
“OMG! Brittany solves our problems! She is the best. My dog now has a second home. I have a terminally ill husband and I need responsible and competent people on our team. Brittany has happily done everything that I have ever requested. She has modified our sitter schedule multiple times, she brushes Pippin’s teeth and she even works with Pippin’s obedience training. We cannot thank Brittany enough!”

I love going on long walks and will take the time to play and cuddle with your pup as well! I'm currently working a flexible schedule and able to work during with weekdays and weekends upon request. I typically go for long walks 3 times a day in the early morning, early afternoon, and early evening. Of course outdoor playtime is a must as well with frequent bathroom breaks for young pups! Dogs are welcome to sleep in crates or if not crate trained let me know what your dog is used to as we want them to feel right at home! I have a big fenced in yard and a one year old dog to keep your puppy company! I am able to go on long walks or play in the backyard depending on your dogs age and needs.
“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!”
“I love her!! She took care of Thor as of he was at home. I am so grateful that after a really bad stay he was able to be himself and she was able to experience my sweet boy and they were able to love on each other. The art project she did is the cutest, I put it on my fridge. She is absolutely amazing!!”
“Our golden retriever absolutely loved his visit with Jonathan and his family. He could not have been a more perfect host and it was really nice to have a previous golden retriever owner as a Rover host.”

“We have a semi-feral, learning domestication skills cat, Miss Kitty, who is free to roam outside and in, and is very wary of strangers. Cam was so patient and loving, and won over Miss Kitty and us! We received daily updates, photos and/or videos. We highly recommend her for any cat sitting job you may have.”
“Mya was great, she came every day to check on my cat while I was out of town, booking with her was super easy, she’s punctual and quick to respond, she as well took care of my sister’s cats, we were both very pleased with her service. We highly recommend her.”
“Frankie took great care of our two cats while we were away for a week and a half. He gave space to the one who prefers to observe from afar and indulged our other with sips from the bathroom sink at every visit. Without being asked, Frankie kept a little handwritten log of tasks completed at each drop in and sent several picture updates for each time as well. He also watered our plants. We came home to happy kitties and will absolutely ask him to care for them again in the future.”
“Sarah was the absolute best petter sitter we’ve ever had! She was very attentive to our rabbits and sent pictures and videos. Her updates were very thorough as well. She left us Polaroid photos of our boys and even a card. Thank you Sarah!”
“Leah was wonderful to our kitties! She’s a great communicator and really cares. She is detailed oriented and made me feel at ease. I know our kitties will be excited to see her again. Thanks Leah!”
“Susan was exactly what I needed for taking care of my kitty last minute while I was away! She was detailed and responsive, time flexible, and I think my cat has a new best friend. Would recommend Susan to anyone in the area needing a pet sitter.”
“Erika did an amazing job sending pictures and keeping us updated on our cat while we were out of town! We were nervous because we have never left her before but we felt comfortable! Thank you so much :)”
“I have used Sarah before and she is great. My cat is old and takes meds twice a day. Sarah comes twice a day and feeds, cleans up and medicates my baby. I would highly recommend her to anyone.”
About: I was raised with cats and grown to love them I ended up with 5 at one point. A mom & her babies we rescued. They lived a long and happy life. The only sad part of loving these babies is they don’t live long enough.
“Hannah was a great dog watcher for our 9 day trip! She was timely, sent pictures, and even helped out when our elderly dog had accidents in between stops. She also sent pictures and helped when someone hit our mailbox while we were gone. Highly recommend!”
“Piper did a fantastic job looking after my cat for 8 days. She sent tons of great photos and provided detailed daily updates. I feel grateful to have such a reliable pet sitter who also appreciates my pet's personality and meets her needs for affection!”
“Leah was awesome! Very communicative and responsive. Would highly recommend to anyone! We would happily have Leah care for our cats again next time we go out of town :-) thank you for everything!!”
About: I am not as experienced with cats as I am with dogs, but I have had my cat for 3.5 years and Oliver is the best cat and gets along with all my dogs. I have the typical experience with cats, feeding, watering and cleaning the litter box. I haven't had to give my cat any meds at this time, but I am up for the challenge =)
About: I have owned a cat since I was 6 years old. I love cats and know how hard it is to find a sitter who loves cats that as much as you! I am trustworthy and can provide excellent care to your purr baby while you are away!
“I've only ever had family members check in on my best cat buddy, Vinny, and I was apprehensive hiring a sitter for my 4 day vacation. I have to say Saskia was amazing and was able to get my shy cat to warm up to her within just a day or two. Saskia sent me plenty of pictures and her report card on her visits were thorough and put my mind at ease. She was on time at every single visit (and for our pre-interview), and she was very responsive and communicative, which I love. Vinny, my 10 year old domestic short hair became comfortable with Sas and allowed her to brush him and give scratches. He doesn't warm up to just anyone, so that says a lot. I will 100% book with Saskia going forward, and I'll recommend her to anyone who asks. 😻😊”
About: I have cared for my now senior cat, Bella, since she was a kitten. I have experience with basic cat care and uptake such as litter box cleaning. I am a genuine cat lover who can’t wait to meet your fur baby!!
“Cam was fantastic with Cookie and Bizzy! She was communicative, attentive, and followed instructions perfectly. She handled all the usual cat antics with patience and humor, and it was clear she genuinely cared about their comfort and wellbeing. I felt completely at ease knowing they were in such good hands and would absolutely book her again.”
“Adrianna was prompt, professional, attentive and overall WONDERFUL. She was focused and detailed on her task, while at the same time being personable with our Cesar. He was excited to see her daily and awaiting her services. Will definitely utilize her services again and again”

About: As someone who has had pets in the home for as long as I can remember, I know it is important for them to be in a loving, patient, and attentive environment and I thrive in providing environments that are such! I work from home and I’m a SAHM, so pet care fits naturally into my daily routine. I have a flexible schedule, which allows me to give pets plenty of attention, playtime, potty breaks, and supervision throughout the day. I have a large fenced in backyard and only two cats inside the home. I make sure that the pets that I care for have enough space of their own but are also attended to closely.
About: I have had a dog my entire life since I was 3. I love them very much and take very good care of them. Like they need.

About: Hey there, my name is Holly and I love working with dogs. I have spent the last 10 plus years working with dogs at a local doggie day care facility. While working there I obtained a lot of knowledge and eventually earned a position as a supervisor and managed new hires on how to work dog day care yards. During my time I gained a lot of valuable insight on dog behavior while working in the dog day care yard. I also have owned as many as three dogs at one time. I have hosted several of my friend's dogs for overnight stays along with my own dogs and I would just love the opportunity to give them the best care and love a dog could desire. I have a passion for fur babies and treat them as if they are my own. I have a special relationship with my veterinarian and I have experience in giving dog medication if necessary. I am conveniently located to my personal veterinarian and other veterinarians as well as a emergency vet in the event your fur baby suddenly becomes ill. Having owned numerous dogs over my lifetime I am keenly aware of what it takes to attend to senior dogs. I have a lot of green space in my neighborhood for a comfortable walk on a leash and potty breaks. I am currently retired and available to baby sit your fur baby anytime including weekdays/nights, weekends, and holidays.

I am all about creature comforts and whatever your baby is used to for the best experience. Your baby is more than welcome to lay on the couch, sleep in my bed or can be crated if that is what they enjoy the most. I also offer Dog TV for viewing pleasure. You can expect lot's of cuddle time, potty breaks, walks, treats and toys to play with but most of all LOVE. I also have a habit of sending video's and pictures of your baby while you are away.
“Poppy is special, not just to me, but to everyone she meets so traveling with her can be a challenge. I always want to make sure she is cared for in a loving, safe, and comfortable environment. After a last-minute confirmation that I needed to be in Talladega for three days, I was extremely lucky to find Cassandra and her husband. They took wonderful care of Poppy during the day while I worked, and I was still able to have her with me overnight, which made the whole trip so much easier. Cassandra was responsive, communicative, and sent great photo updates, which gave me total peace of mind. I highly recommend her for any pet-sitting needs in the Birmingham area especially if you’re traveling between Birmingham and Talladega. Great experience all around!”

About: I grew up with dogs and truly can’t imagine life without them (no offense to my cat people 🥰). Caring for dogs has always come naturally to me—I love learning their personalities, reading their cues, and making sure they feel safe, happy, and loved while you’re away. I have experience with dogs of all ages and sizes, from energetic puppies to senior dogs who need a little extra patience and care. I’ve cared for everything from small breeds to extra-large pups like Great Danes, so I’m comfortable with a wide range of temperaments and needs. I’m especially attentive to details—whether that’s sticking to routines, administering medications if needed, or simply making sure your dog gets plenty of attention and affection. I’m also someone who genuinely enjoys spoiling pups (in the best way!). I’m very responsive and prioritize regular updates and photos so you always have peace of mind while you’re away. I love being active and spending time outdoors, so walks and playtime are something I truly enjoy—not just a task to check off.

About: Hi! I’m Danielle. I’ve been taking care of animals for most of my life and have been pet-sitting for about 17 years. I also grew up on a farm, so being around animals has always just been part of my day-to-day life. I’ve worked long-term with a family who has four senior beagles (one is blind), so I’m very comfortable with medications, routines, and dogs that need a little extra patience and care. Your dog will stay in my home and be treated like part of the family. I have a large fenced yard where they can run and play, plus a covered area for shade when it’s hot (which, realistically, is often). I also live about a mile from a dog park if your dog enjoys getting out and exploring. I try to keep things as close to your dog’s normal routine as possible—whether that’s lots of playtime or just a calm place to relax. Every dog is different, and I adjust to what they need. I’ll keep you updated while you’re away, and you can trust that your dog is safe, cared for, and getting plenty of attention. I work a typical Monday–Friday 9–5 schedule, but I’m able to stop by during the day for potty breaks, medications, and check-ins. Before and after work, your pet will get plenty of attention, time outside, and interaction. Weekends are more flexible, so I’m able to spend more extended time with pets in my care. Every other weekend, my 5-year-old is with me—she’s grown up around animals and is very gentle and comfortable with them. My home is very pet-friendly and pretty relaxed. Dogs are welcome on furniture if that’s what they’re used to, and I try to keep their routine as close to home as possible. I have a large fenced yard where dogs can run and play, plus a covered area for shade when it’s hot. I keep a close eye on pets when they’re outside and make sure they’re always safe and comfortable.
About: I am experienced with dogs of all sizes and cats as well. I grew up with both dogs and cats and also currently have a big fluffy husky that I love taking on long walks. He has taught me patience when walking to let him sniff and explore and to be able to pick up on tell tale signs from other dogs and surrounding areas. I have never met a pet I wasn’t able to become buddies within no time. I work full time but can walk before and after work on week days. The weekends I am free at any time to walk dogs. I have a 9 year old husky I walk an average of 2 - 3 miles a day since he loves walks. I do not bring him along for house sitting since his fluff will stay long after he does and he is comfy staying at home with my sister. I know how to approach new dogs to let them know I am a trustworthy person and pay attention to their own moods and personalities as each animal is different.
“Leah was amazing! She was quick to respond and able to fit us into her busy schedule last minute. Our puppy, Willow, loved Leah from the start. Leah made sure to care for Willow as her own and give us many updates and pictures. I could not recommend Leah enough!”

“Tatiana is amazing! Zeus is in love. He recognizes her car and runs to the door to greet her, excited for his walk. She tires him out enough for him to settle down so I can work without having a bored puppy underfoot. Will request her again.”
About: Growing up I had experience with a lot of types of animals, from cats, dogs, sheep, pigs, cows and horses. In my adult life, I have had a lab mix and have had 4 boxers (3 currently still in the home) and a siamese mixed cat. I learned a lot about dog behavior when I got my first boxer through training, and feel like that has helped me with other dogs too. Two of my current boxers are seniors and they take meds so I am familiar with those types of things and my other one is 8 months old so I am currently also in the puppy phases as well. I do have a full-time job. Evenings and weekends are the best time for me on some days. I often work from home later in the week so I can be flexible those days. I am definitely open to chatting about options. I will keep my calendar up to date based on my availability. If your pups are coming to my house, I have a fenced in yard. I do have a pool, but I go outside with all pups for safety reasons. If your dog loves to swim let me know! I also have a quiet neighborhood for a nice leashed walk. I do have a lot of stairs so if you have a senior dog that has mobility issues my house might not be the best option. If they go out on a leash this would be less of an issue b/c I can take them for a walk out front. I crate my puppy when I am gone, and can crate your dog when/if you would like me too. I would like any special instructions about medications/food/behavior etc that are specific to your pets. I would need any specific instructions for your in home stays with your pets.
“As always, Nichole is amazing. She sends thorough reports. She’s so prompt. You literally never have to wonder when you book with her. She cared for our pups while we were staying in the hospital for labor and delivery and the peace of mind I had about our pups at home was truly unmatched.”

“Tatiana took very good care of Benny! She sent daily pictures and messages. She was also very flexible when my flight was delayed. I would definitely recommend her for your pet!”
“Danielle is the absolute best, and I’ll hear nothing to the contrary. This was my first time using Rover, and the sitter I originally booked cancelled on me morning of, but Danielle accepted our last minute request on a holiday weekend. I have an old dog with arthritis and medication who can be a picky eater at times, but that was no issue for Danielle. She not only made me feel at ease with constant updates and pictures, but she exercised and socialized him, and he may like her more than me now. My only regrets with this review are that everyone else will book her now and she’ll be unavailable next time we need boarding for a weekend”
“Barrie loved my dog so well! He had lots of love and attention and was so happy when I came to pick him up. Will definitely rebook when I am in Birmingham again.”
“Cody watched our dog for a pretty long time while we were away. He made our pup feel right at home the entire time as we could tell from all the consistent updates and pictures! He got plenty of walks, playtime, and some lazy time on the couch of course! Cody was responsive and easy to communicate with. We were so glad to have a sitter we could depend on while traveling. Cody is the best!”
“I was happy to find Ray at the last minute. He was great! He updated me every day with new pictures and videos. My pup had a great time exploring the yard and going for walks. I would book Ray again!”
“Sarah was wonderful! She sent daily pictures, had a great set up at her house for pet care, was friendly, fast to respond and flexible. She was a joy to work with and I will be contacting her again next time.”
“My baby had an amazing time with Amiee. She sent regular updates and photos, and reassured me, since it was his first time staying with anyone else. Got him back this morning, and she was able to help us out when we had to extend. I'd be happy to bring him back anytime :)”
“Falone was great! She was very flexible and understanding with our drop off and pickup times. The dogs had lots of walks, and we recurved so many photos! She even went to the store to grab the exact dog food we forgot. Literally a lifesaver.”
“Katherine watched my pooch Bella and with every picture she texted me, Bella looked very excited, happy and loved while we were away for the Mother's Day weekend at that! Thank you soooo very much Katherine for watching Bella for me! I will definitely keep you as my puppy sitter! You were absolutely wonderful!! 🤗”
“Kmya was awesome! Very responsive and kind. My cat had a good time and was safe. Kmya sent pictures of my Lil fur baby without being prompted. I'll definitely tell everyone about her!”
“OMG! Brittany solves our problems! She is the best. My dog now has a second home. I have a terminally ill husband and I need responsible and competent people on our team. Brittany has happily done everything that I have ever requested. She has modified our sitter schedule multiple times, she brushes Pippin’s teeth and she even works with Pippin’s obedience training. We cannot thank Brittany enough!”

“I love her!! She took care of Thor as of he was at home. I am so grateful that after a really bad stay he was able to be himself and she was able to experience my sweet boy and they were able to love on each other. The art project she did is the cutest, I put it on my fridge. She is absolutely amazing!!”
“Our golden retriever absolutely loved his visit with Jonathan and his family. He could not have been a more perfect host and it was really nice to have a previous golden retriever owner as a Rover host.”
“Libby was so wonderful. Our dog is so timid with everyone and I love how much care and attention she was given. I also loved the pictures and updates. My family will be using her again.”
