“Our fur baby enjoyed his stay, he got lots of playtime and attention with Meaghan and her kiddos❤️ she kept in touch with pics and videos and eased all my anxiety with leaving him while on vacation,we highly recommend and will be using her in the near future!”
“Madison was absolutely AMAZING with Harley. He was loved, well cared for and extremely happy with her and her family. Madison took great care to keep me posted on how Harley was doing. The daily pictures, videos and contact was excellent and gave me great peace while I was on a two-week trip without him. I highly recommend Madison, and she will be seeing Harley again when I am not able to take him with me. What joy to have found her!”
“Mrs Donna took wonderdul care of our sweet dog while we were gone. We could tell when we picked him up by the way he respinded to her that he was not only cared for bit recieved love care and attention.”
“Kristen was very accommodating with Luna. She kept me informed of her progress throughout the stay. My dog got along with her dogs and I am sure she enjoyed her visit there. I recommend this sitter to other dog owners.”
“Kristi is phenomenal! She took my babies in last minute. She gave them their own huge room with a ginormous cat tree. They were extremely comfortable and had no stress whatsoever. She cared for them as I would, I have no doubt they were comfortable in their home away from home. I never worried about their food or their environment. I would most certainly recommend her and use her again a million times over. Thank you for everything Kristi!!!”
“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!”
“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.”
“Juyne did a wonderful job sitting with my fur babies! She sent texts & pictures so I always knew how they were doing. It was the first time I left them and I knew they were in good hands. She is so patient and kind. My "kids" loved staying with her!”
“Shume was very accommodating with my schedule, as well as with Kona, my 9 month old Labradoodle. She immediately sent me pictures of Kona playing with her own dog, which made me feel like Kona was enjoying her stay with Shume. I'll definitely use her in the future when I need care for Kona.”
“Kelly took such great care of our little girl over the weekend. She sent plenty of pics. Abby looked happy and comfortable in spite of her separation anxiety. Thank you, Kellly!”
“Cody was awesome! We did a meetup before boarding where we were able to have our dogs meet and chat. Cody was great about sending pictures and updating us on how our pet was doing. Upon pickup, we could really tell how much our dog enjoyed staying with Cody. I highly recommend him and will definitely book him again.”
“Colleen is great. Quick to respond to messages, very flexible with schedule and kept us updated on our dog when we were away. Our pup is still young and super energetic, but he always comes back home tired. He loves playing with Jax! Would definitely recommend Colleen to anyone.”
“Kelsey and her family provided safe and loving home for my two cats during my travel. She sent frequent updates with pictures. Her kids are wonderful with animals. One of the pictures shows Kelsey's little daughter gently petting and kissing my cat. It is so beautiful that I'm going to frame it.”
“We really felt that Bailey came back to us happy and like she had a great time! We really appreciated the walks and care Bailey got while staying with Jessica and Jeffrey! Sincerely so thankful for their time with our girl!”
“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!”
“Laura is a rockstar! She was so kind with our Cali, sent daily updates and responded promptly. You can 100% trust that when you leave your pet with her, she will take the greatest care. Would give 6/5!”

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!
“Elizabeth always takes great care of our cats, sends thoughtful detailed notes about how the visits went and lots of pictures. She always spends time with them. I trust her 100% and always hope she is available when we need a sitter. She’s the best!”
“Fantastic! Went above and beyond making sure we knew everything was going well with our cats. Took plenty of photos, even got our mail for us. 10/10, will be scheduling with her next time we need exceptional care for our pets!”

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)!

“Provided excellent care for my fur baby! He really enjoyed himself and tired himself out! They sent pictures and video throughout the day to reassure my baby was fine and okay! I appreciate the service provided”
About: My Boarding Policies: I want every dog to feel safe, loved, and comfortable while they’re with me, so these guidelines help keep things running smoothly for everyone. 💬 Meet & Greet I always do a quick meet & greet for new clients so I can get to know your pup’s personality and make sure we’re a great fit! I will need an emergency contact and vet reference. (Last minute bookings happen, I am willing to work around this for this purpose, just reach out to me) 💉 Health & Vaccinations For everyone’s safety, all dogs should be up to date on rabies, DHPP, and Bordetella. Please also make sure your pup is free of fleas/ticks and not showing signs of illness. ⏰ Drop-Off & Pick-Up I’m flexible, but I try to keep drop-offs and pick-ups within agreed time windows so the day stays smooth and predictable for the dogs. If you’re running late, no worries — just let me know! If at any point I can not get ahold of you, this will result in me reaching out to Rover Support or possibly Animal Control (depending on the situation) 🍽️ Food, Treats & Supplies Please bring enough food for the whole stay, plus any medication with simple instructions. If anything unexpected comes up, I’ll let you know right away. 🐾 Behavior & Comfort I welcome all sorts of personalities! I just ask that pups are: Friendly with people and other dogs Able to be crated or safely separated if needed Not showing aggression If your dog has any quirks (anxiety, chewing, reactivity, etc.), please share — it helps me give them the best care. 🩺 Safety First If a true emergency happens, I’ll contact you immediately and may take your dog to the vet if needed. Owners are responsible for any vet costs. 📸 Updates I love sending photos! Expect at least one update per day — or more if you’d like. Just tell me your preference. 📅 Cancellations & Holidays I follow Rover’s cancellation policy and keep things fair, but holiday bookings may fill up fast, so early scheduling helps! I loved animals for as long as I can remember, and pets have always been a big part of my life. I’ve cared for dogs and cats of all sizes, personalities, and ages — from bouncy puppies and curious kittens to senior pets who just need a little extra love and patience. When your pet is with me, I’ll treat them like family. I enjoy long walks, playtime in the yard, and plenty of snuggles on the couch. I’m also happy to follow your pet’s routine so they feel safe and comfortable while you’re away. Whether they’re energetic and playful or calm and cuddly, I’ll make sure they get the love and attention they deserve. I provide full-time dog care, including doggy daycare, boarding, drop-ins, and walks. When doing Drop ins or walks, if you are outside of a 5 mile radius, a small fee will have to be added for the distance traveled. Each day starts with morning walks and potty breaks, followed by supervised playtime and socialization. Midday is quiet time for rest and meals, with afternoon walks, and play. Evenings include dinner, potty breaks, and calm activities to help dogs wind down. Overnight, I monitor boarding dogs to ensure they’re safe and comfortable. Your pet’s safety and comfort are my top priorities. I provide a clean, secure, and loving environment where your furry friend can feel at home. All interactions are supervised, and I make sure playtime is safe and stress-free. I follow any specific instructions you provide for feeding, medications, or routines to ensure your pet’s well-being. I believe trust is earned, which is why I maintain open communication with owners throughout their pet’s stay or visit. You’ll receive updates, photos, and messages so you can see how your pet is doing in real-time. My home is pet-friendly, calm, and structured, offering plenty of space for exercise, rest, and fun. I strive to create a positive experience that leaves your pet happy, healthy, and eager to come back.
“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!”
“Kira takes great care of my dog Fiona, who is in doggie day care during the week. Fiona get lots of love, reassurance, and good care at Kira's place. Thanks Kira! I definitely recommend!”
“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.”
About: What sets me apart from other sitters is my background in healthcare and my natural attention to detail. As a nursing student and soon-to-be hospital worker, I’m very experienced in providing attentive, compassionate care — which easily carries over to how I care for pets. I’m patient, reliable, and comfortable following detailed care instructions, including administering medications if needed. I also have experience with both young, energetic pets and senior pets who may need a little extra gentleness and support. I genuinely love building a bond with every animal I care for, treating them like family while keeping their safety, happiness, and well-being my top priority. Pet care fits naturally into my daily and weekly routine because I truly enjoy spending time with animals. I am a nursing student who will be starting a hospital job on May 12, working from 3 PM to 11:30 PM. Until then, I have open availability to care for pets. Even after I begin work, I’ll be available during mornings, early afternoons, and late nights for check-ins, walks, and pet sitting. I start classes on May 27, but I only have one in-person class from 12–1 PM on Tuesdays and Thursdays, leaving plenty of time to dedicate to caring for pets. I’m responsible, nurturing, and attentive—qualities that come naturally from my healthcare background—and I will treat your pets like they are my own. When caring for pets in my home or a client’s home, I make sure to follow any specific instructions provided by the owner, including feeding schedules, walk times, medication administration, and any special routines or preferences. I pay close attention to each pet’s behavior to make sure they are happy, comfortable, and safe. I also love giving pets plenty of playtime, affection, and exercise based on their energy level. Cleanliness and safety are important to me, so I always make sure their space stays clean, and I update owners regularly with messages and photos for peace of mind. With my nursing background, I’m very detail-oriented and comfortable providing extra care if needed.
“Willow didn’t want to leave and followed him. That tells me all I need to know. She had a great time on their field trip and play date. He will be seeing Willow again if he is willing🤘❤️”
About: I’ve taken care of large dogs, small dogs, cats, ferrets, ducks and basically any pet you can think of. Everyone deserves to have someone care for their pet properly while they are away. I will keep your furry family member safe and happy while you are! I also take photos while they are with me that I can send to you with updates. I can’t wait to meet your fur friend!!! I am currently in college online. When needed I substitute teach for my primary income but it is a very flexible schedule. I care for animals more often than subbing and devote my workdays towards your pets. I have one very friendly dog, but if your pet is not into socializing they can stay separated. I want to make sure you come back home to a pet that is as happy as when you left. My hope is that whether you're on vacation or business trip your furry family member will be treated like they are part of my own family.

“I wish I could use Amber over and over again! I live in Indiana and came to Alabama for a quick visit. Amber was accommodating to the difficulty that comes with timing when traveling. She is so kind and warm. She made me feel so reassured about dropping off my two boys and it looks like three of them had a blast. If I lived nearby she would 100% be my go to for all my trips. LOVED her!!!!”

About: Hi! ❤️ My name is Natalie Ikner. I am 25 years old and am a full time college student with all of my work online & a stay at home mother. I am pretty much always at home so your pups would have someone around 24/7 during their visits! Since I am home full time I’ve decided to start offering my services on Rover to help my fiancé with the bills. Plus, I LOVE animals of all kinds!! So why not? Your pup will have ample play & potty time on account to me being here all hours of the day during their stay. I also offer drop ins. I’m excited to meet your pups!!! ❤️ My schedule is very open so I am always home. I do all of my college work online so I’m open schedule most of the time! I do not keep my dog in a crate, but I do hourly potty breaks (or more if needed for that specific animal) and I do allow my dog on my bed occasionally.

About: For as long as I can remember, I’ve been taking care of animals. Growing up I had, of course, dogs but also cats, rabbits, birds, and even a chinchilla! I moved to a farm as a teenager where I was kept busy taking care of livestock and training horses. Naturally I seeked out jobs with animals too. I’ve worked 1 year at a horse barn and then 2 years at a vet clinic. While working at an animal clinic I learned how to take care of every doggy personality whether it be high reactivity, shyness, dog-aggression, or high energy. I also, of course, learned a good bit about vet med too. I’ve also taken care of many types of cats friendly and sassy ones too! I know how stressful it is leaving a fur baby behind but I want pet owners to know I will give my absolute best care to each and every animal and keep you in the loop with paw-some photos! I work three 12 hour shifts on Wednesday, Thursday, and Friday. I have wide open availability on weekends, and have morning/afternoon availability on Monday and Tuesday. Also, I am free for the July 4th wknd! 🇺🇸 I am able to do whatever you feel is best for your pet; whether that is plenty of walks or plenty of good tummy scratches or both. I have enough experience to be able to care for your pet in the best way possible.
About: I’ve had many pets growing up, from cats to dogs! I love all animals, I used to be a barrel racer so I’ve ridden horses! And, my entire family has also been animal lovers from one having 4 dogs in one household to another having a pet tortoise! I’ve been around it all, small or big, chill or excited, so I love all! I’m currently a Student at the University of Alabama. I also am a member of the university’s Million Dollar Band! This being said I do have an availability that of a student. But, this should not limit my abilities of caring for your pet! I am very open and flexible with my schedule and we can find a way to make it work that is best comfortable for you! If you were wanting to have me care for your pet at home, they would have to be house trained as well as being okay around cats. My cat is very sweet she’s been around other cats and dogs, so she is very well acquainted to other animals! If I am to care for your animal at your home, I can assure you that I will do my best to follow your exact daily schedule your animals are accustomed to, that way they don’t have any extra stresses! As well as, you will not have to worry in the slightest bit about coming back and finding your place a mess! When you return not only will you return to happy pets but also a place that hopefully looks better than how you left!
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: With over a decade of experience caring for dogs of all ages, breeds, and sizes, I bring a calm, reliable presence your pup can trust. I’ve spent the last 3 years training dogs and currently foster for GSP Rescue in the Southeast—successfully placing pups in loving homes. Whether your dog needs playtime, cuddles, structure, or a little extra patience, I’ve got you covered! I currently work a flexible schedule where I can block off specific times if needed. My husband is home during the week and gone several weekends, but when we are in town we both love to take the pups on rides in the car (if they enjoy it). We love to get out and walk or take Remy for a drive to get coffee and pup cups. We live on a quiet cul-de-sac with peaceful neighbors. We have a completely fenced in yard with about .3 acres of area to sniff and dig. (yes, we let them dig) We love to spoil with cuddles and toys and treats. Structure time with toys and training time will always be a part of our care too. I have 3+ years training our dog and believe in short training sessions regardless of knowledge level.
“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.

About: I have experience volunteering at animal shelters and rescues, experiencing many different types of environments and behaviors that have prepared me to work with a variety of dogs. I have a passion for caretaking animals and have worked with dogs, cats, birds and reptiles. I have also worked with a few dog trainers over the years and accumulated some knowledgeable information. Animal lover of all, caretaker of few! I have a flexible schedule working from home, and right now it’s very slow so I have plenty of time to watch those babies for you! I love walking dogs. My two love their hour walk in the mornings and is so beneficial for their overall mental and physical wellbeing. I will try to accommodate each fur baby and their individual needs, whether that be through play, pets or potty. I am willing to work with personal requests or routines from the owners. I have experience with harnesses, collars, and even muzzles. I establish a trust based relationship with the pets I meet and try to be aware of their behavior and communication.
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: 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: I've had all kinds of pets from dogs, cats, horses, goats, to even emus! and the list goes on! I will make your pets feel loved and safe while their owners are away! My schedule is flexible! I would be available to care for your pet and or pets at various times for different days of the week. Making sure your pets feel loved and safe is my top priority. I prefer detailed instructions letting me know the best way to take care of your pets.
About: What truly sets me apart is my commitment to communication. I provide regular updates, photos, and detailed notes after each visit or walk, so you always feel connected to your pet. My background also includes volunteer work at a local animal shelter, where I gained hands-on experience handling dogs with special needs and anxiety. You can count on me to treat your pet and home with the same respect and care I’d expect for my own. Reliability, compassion, and peace of mind—that’s what I bring to every visit. Pet care is an integral part of my daily and weekly routine. I prioritize creating a consistent and safe environment for every pet in my care, whether that means early morning walks, timely feedings, or engaging play sessions throughout the day. I incorporate time each day to monitor health, behavior, and comfort, ensuring pets feel secure and loved while their owners are away. On a weekly basis, I plan for special outings, grooming (if needed), and ongoing communication with pet owners to provide updates and maintain trust. Caring for animals is more than a job—it’s a responsibility I take seriously, and I structure my schedule to reflect that commitment. I have a fenced in privacy fence back yard! As well as a temperature controlled garage if needed to separate! I have an extra crate if needed as well!
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: Hi! My name is Elena, and caring for animals has always been a natural part of my life. I understand that pets aren’t just pets—they’re family—and I treat every animal in my care with patience, respect, and genuine affection. I’m attentive, calm under pressure, and very observant of behavior changes, which helps me keep pets safe and comfortable. Whether your dog needs a relaxing walk, structured routine, or extra reassurance while you’re away, I tailor my care to their individual needs. Pet care fits naturally into my daily and weekly routine. I plan my schedule around walks, feedings, playtime, and check-ins so pets receive consistent attention, structure, and care throughout the day. I prioritize safety and trust at all times. I carefully follow each pet’s routine, feeding instructions, and house rules. I keep environments clean, secure, and calm, supervise pets closely, and provide regular updates so owners feel confident and informed.
“Melanie is wonderful! Prompt, polite, and so kind-hearted! I will definitely ask her to walk our big dog again. I’m always nervous meeting new dog-sitters, but I’m so glad I took a chance! :)”

“Our fur baby enjoyed his stay, he got lots of playtime and attention with Meaghan and her kiddos❤️ she kept in touch with pics and videos and eased all my anxiety with leaving him while on vacation,we highly recommend and will be using her in the near future!”
“Madison was absolutely AMAZING with Harley. He was loved, well cared for and extremely happy with her and her family. Madison took great care to keep me posted on how Harley was doing. The daily pictures, videos and contact was excellent and gave me great peace while I was on a two-week trip without him. I highly recommend Madison, and she will be seeing Harley again when I am not able to take him with me. What joy to have found her!”
“Kristen was very accommodating with Luna. She kept me informed of her progress throughout the stay. My dog got along with her dogs and I am sure she enjoyed her visit there. I recommend this sitter to other dog owners.”
“Kristi is phenomenal! She took my babies in last minute. She gave them their own huge room with a ginormous cat tree. They were extremely comfortable and had no stress whatsoever. She cared for them as I would, I have no doubt they were comfortable in their home away from home. I never worried about their food or their environment. I would most certainly recommend her and use her again a million times over. Thank you for everything Kristi!!!”
“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 was very accommodating with my schedule, as well as with Kona, my 9 month old Labradoodle. She immediately sent me pictures of Kona playing with her own dog, which made me feel like Kona was enjoying her stay with Shume. I'll definitely use her in the future when I need care for Kona.”
“Cody was awesome! We did a meetup before boarding where we were able to have our dogs meet and chat. Cody was great about sending pictures and updating us on how our pet was doing. Upon pickup, we could really tell how much our dog enjoyed staying with Cody. I highly recommend him and will definitely book him again.”
“Colleen is great. Quick to respond to messages, very flexible with schedule and kept us updated on our dog when we were away. Our pup is still young and super energetic, but he always comes back home tired. He loves playing with Jax! Would definitely recommend Colleen to anyone.”
“Kelsey and her family provided safe and loving home for my two cats during my travel. She sent frequent updates with pictures. Her kids are wonderful with animals. One of the pictures shows Kelsey's little daughter gently petting and kissing my cat. It is so beautiful that I'm going to frame it.”
“We really felt that Bailey came back to us happy and like she had a great time! We really appreciated the walks and care Bailey got while staying with Jessica and Jeffrey! Sincerely so thankful for their time with our girl!”
“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!”
“Laura is a rockstar! She was so kind with our Cali, sent daily updates and responded promptly. You can 100% trust that when you leave your pet with her, she will take the greatest care. Would give 6/5!”
“Had a seamless experience with Olivia! She paid attention to our rescue pup’s needs, such as avoiding encounters with other dogs due to his trauma, and provided us with updates throughout his stay. Definitely using her services again next time we need the help!”
“Return customer and very happy with the outstanding boarding Kristin provides to our two fur babies! Our pups are happy, healthy and exhausted from all the playtime they get when we pick them up. Highly recommended!!”
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!
