Highly-rated overnight sitters - Lipscomb
“Took great care of our sweet elderly pup… and was even able to provide care last minute, cause another caregiver canceled. Very pleased, should have used Kayte from the beginning! Nice family home, with friendly pet environment. Now I definitely know who to use! ❤️?”
“This was my first time ever boarding Benny anywhere and he had a blast with Brittney! I had a bit of anxiety but Brittney stayed in contact with me and sent photos throughout the duration of trip!”
“Katie and her family took such good care of my dog while I was out of town. She took her on walks, played with her, gave her treats, cuddled her, and sent lots of pictures and updates!! I could not have asked for someone better to take care of Rory girl 🤍”
“Rachel is a godsend!! I’ve never had a good experience with boarding (dog owner for over 15 years), and I am SO THANKFUL to have found someone that cares for my boy the way I do. He had the best time and has done nothing but sleep since we got home!”
“Doug was very kind to us and extremely hospitable to our cocker spaniel, Charlie, while we were gone for the week. He sent daily updates and time stamps on potties/feedings/medicines, which is even more than we asked for. He gave our dog plenty of walks and stimulation, and send lots of pictures. We feel very comfortable leaving Charlie with Doug again!”
“Jessica was great! We got pictures every day and a video too! We could tell she made our old girl comfortable and happy in a new environment. She also has a one level house with no stairs to the backyard which is great for dogs with arthritis. We will definitely use her again next time we go out of town!”
“Wade and Morgan are AMAZING!! This was the longest I have ever left my pup so I was very nervous about being away from him but they made the entire experience effortless. They sent me picture updates every single day if not twice a day! My dog seemed to not want to leave their house and I could tell that he was very happy and very very well taken care of. I would recommend them to anyone who asks and I will definitely be booking with them again in the future! Thank you so so much Wade and Morgan I appreciate you guys more than you know!”
“Jonathan and his family were great! We will definitely be requesting them as a new regular. Very friendly, helped us out and allowed us to extend our boarding for an additional night at last minute, sent updates and pictures, and made sure our dog had plenty of exercise!”
“We cannot express enough gratitude for Ryan and his wonderful family for taking care of our beloved dog, Lola, during our recent family trip. From the moment we met them, we knew Lola was in the best hands. Ryan and his family were incredibly thoughtful, caring, and gentle with her, treating Lola as if she were their own. Lola can be quite shy and anxious around new people, but under their loving care, she felt safe and happy. Ryan's attentiveness and the warmth of his family truly shone through, making Lola's time away from us comfortable and stress-free. The updates and pictures they sent showed us just how much love and attention Lola was receiving, and it brought us immense peace of mind. We are deeply touched by the kindness and compassion Ryan and his family showed Lola. They went above and beyond to ensure she felt loved and secure. It's not easy to leave a cherished pet behind, but knowing Lola was with such amazing people made all the difference. We are forever grateful for their exceptional care and the genuine love they shared with our sweet girl. Thank you, Ryan, for being such a wonderful caretaker. Your kindness will always be remembered.”
“I am a first-time Rover user. I reached out to Kimberley on the Friday before I was to leave on a Wednesday trip - so SUPER late. She responded immediately and was very open to a meet-and-greet between our fur children the next day. She was extremely warm and inviting to my baby and me. Our drop-off on the day of the trip was quick and easy, and we received photos and updates while we were away. Kimberley and her family not only love dogs but are also good with them. Kimberley is very communicative, professional, and kind. My baby, Verona, really enjoyed making new friends with her dogs and family. I will definitely be reaching out to Kimberley again to assist with my dog-watching needs, and I would highly recommend her to others.”
“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!”
“Fantastic sitter! He was the third I’ve used on here and by far the best! He took Sammy last minute which was such a help for me. He treated him like his own and sent pictures and updates which I really appreciate. I get anxious leaving him with strangers. He put all concern a side. Don’t hesitate hiring this guy! One of the best in care and price! 🐕”
“Very nice couple. Our Shih-tzu was wore out from playing with other pups her size. Kristen kept us updated throughout the stay with pictures and videos. Will use again.”
“Westyn went above and beyond to take care of our puppy! He sent us pictures and videos everyday and made sure to communicate with us. We had to do a later pick up than expected and he was super flexible with us. We will definitely be using Westyn next time we need a sitter for our Winnie!”
“I can tell Dubs was happy with his visit at Savannah’s house! I so appreciate her taking such good care of him. He hasn’t had a lot of experience spending the night away from home, but I felt comfortable leaving him with her. Dubs enjoyed her dog, large fenced in yard and being included as part of the family this week. I’m so thankful to find such a loving place for him to stay when we go out of town!”
“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!!”
“If I could leave 10 out of 5 stars I would! Amanda was wonderful and we could not have asked for a better experience. Besides being kind, gentle, and thoughtful, she was very caring and gave our dog lots of attention. We had multiple pictures and videos, which were so nice. She took Oliver on walks every day, not down the street, but to a park every day. She also fed him home cooked chicken (with my approval) to try to get him to eat (picky eater!). I know Oliver had a great time and it was so nice not worrying about our little boy! We will definitely use her again! Thank you Amanda!”
“Finn loves Barrie so much! When we pull up to her house, he starts getting so excited and vocal. By the time we get out of the car, he is galloping up to her front door to see her. I know he has the best time every time to he visits!”

“I cannot say enough good things about the way Krystal cared for my fur babies! She kept them happy while I was away! I will definitely be using her services in the future!”
“Katie has a pro attitude and i immediately felt at ease knowing my furbaby will be in good hands. Katie is very sharp and made effort to understand my needs even though i’m not good at explaining🤓”
“We love having Jaci and Holden watch our cat crew. They’re so great with them and keep us updated with notes and pictures. Even our new skittish cat has warmed up to them pretty quickly. It’s so nice to have these two nearby to take care of our pets while we’re away.”
About: I've been caring for pets for over 10 years, and I truly can't imagine life without them! I've cared for pets of all ages from newborn kittens to senior pets, and have experience with shy rescues, high-energy dogs, and everything in between. I've spent years pet sitting for friends and family so I'm comfortable adapting to each pet's unique personality and routine. Whether your pet wants to play, get some scratches, or just have a quiet companion, I'm happy to provide whatever makes them feel comfortable and safe. I'm also confident handling medications, carriers, vet visits, and unexpected situations if they come up. My goal is always to make sure your pets are happy, well cared for, and loved while you're away. I know how much our pets mean to us, and I'll treat yours like one of my own! 🐾💕
“Riley was so understanding, patient and communicative with us! We didn’t get to meet this time but we would absolutely use her services again. Thank you for checking in on our invisible Phillip ❤️”
About: I can't remember a time in my life I did not have my own pets. I have taken care of my own pets all of my life and am a lifelong animal caregiver. I have experience as a foster mom for an animal rescue as well and I enjoyed taking care of so many different babies and helping them find their forever homes. I have always had both cat and dog companions and have advocated and helped friends and family with their pets as well. I currently have a senior dog, a senior cat, who have both been with me for over 13 years, three cats who are two years old and a leopard gecko! I would love to meet you and help with your pet care needs!
“We were so glad to come across Leah when we were searching for someone to take care of our kitties. From the first contact, she was friendly, knowledgeable, and reassuring. She came over before our trip to meet us and the kitties, which made us feel better about leaving. We highly recommend Leah and will reach out to her again!”
About: I have many years of experience taking care of various types of animals. However, dogs are my favorite! I am currently a fourth year veterinary (DVM) student at WesternU. I have experience administering medications, subcutaneous fluids, and giving lots of love to pets in my care. I have open availability on both weekdays and weekends for drop-ins/walks, stay-ins and sometimes boarding. I am out of school this summer and happy to take care of your fur babies I have a 2 year old Golden retriever who is the sweetest girl ever and will keep your baby company. I go for moderate to long walks at the railroad park in the mornings and my house has a fenced in yard that is perfect for play time.
About: Crazy Cat Lady in training since 1986. I adore cats. All ages. All breeds. I was 8 years old when I got my first cat, and I loved him for 18 years through grade school and beyond into college. My soul cat Bilbo is 13 years old and I raised him since he was 4 weeks old, bottle feeding and all. I take care of every cat like they’re my own.
“Kierah took great care of my two pups. She spent quality time with them, she didn't just come let them out for potty breaks but took the time to spend time with them. Highly recommend:.”
“Christina was amazing! My cat, Cece, loved her. Cece normally never comes out for anyone when we are gone but she came out for Christina and got some pets and love almost every day we were gone. Clearly she was very comfortable with her and felt safe. She even went and picked up a package for me at the leasing office because it needed to be refrigerated and came earlier than expected. Will definitely be using her in the future.”
“Carson was absolutely amazing! She went over to my parents’ house every day to give my cat his medicine. She is a literal cat whisperer! My cat takes a long time to warm up to people and she was so patient with him on the first day. Eventually, he would run to her every time she came! She was very easy to communicate with, and I will definitely book her in the future!”

“I reached out to Mrs. Kim on very short notice after my dog sitter bailed on me days prior to a week long vacation I had scheduled. Mrs.Kim was very accommodating with my request. She does frequent updates and made my baby a part of her pact, and now my dog loves it there! 100% recommend Mrs. Kim and her family and will be using her again and again !”
“I was so nervous to trust someone with my new puppy. However, Kayte was so kind, understanding and patient with me. Our puppy really blossomed in her care and enjoyed spending time with her family. She was excited to go back each day and was exhausted from all the playing when she came home. Great experience!”
About: Not only have I been dog sitting for the last 15 years, but I also have a lot of other experience with pet care! I have worked in a pet store as well as in veterinary offices when I used to live back in Indiana so I have learned a lot about caring for animals. I attended veterinary nursing school too before I moved, but I didn’t get to finish before moving down here and am currently looking to re start schooling here in Alabama. While I there I gained even more knowledge on animal health and care. I was the kennel manager for the shelter pets that we had at the school, where I was in charge of administering oral and IV/IM pet medication. I have experience working with elderly pets with medical issues as my own fur baby who passed in 2025 suffered from CHF and she required a lot of extra care towards the end. I love all types of animals and have experience caring for not only just dogs and cats. Over the years I have owned reptiles, turtles, and currently own 2 rabbits as well as 2 cats and 1 dog! If you book with me I will treat your pet as though they were my own so you can rest easy knowing they are loved and taken care of! I only work part time, so I have a very flexible schedule. I will have plenty of time to spend time with your pet! I am not typically away from home for very long, so I will be able to regularly come to check on your pet. I have a large fenced in yard and a dog door that my two dogs go in and out of freely. I will walk or run with your dog daily. There is usually always someone in my house at home at all times, who all love to interact with dogs. I have one other dogs. She is typically nice with other dogs but can be very skittish, so they would need to be introduced prior to being watched. The safety and comfort of all of the dogs including my own are my priority, so it needs to be a good fit. My dog does love to play a lot so they usually enjoy having another furry friend to play with. My 2 cats and 2 rabbits also live in the home, but the layout of the house allows them to stay in the upstairs portion of the house and it is blocked off to allow them to be separated. They all get along, but I feel more comfortable to allow them to have their own spaces.
“My babies came home fully intact! No parts missing lol! Jessica was a great host for my children. She sent updates throughout the day along with photographs. From the moment I dropped them off I was confident I had chosen the right person for the task. She is a pleasant human with a big heart. Yep, my babies came home just as I dropped them off, happy and all parts intact! Thank you Jessica!”
About: What sets me apart from other pet sitters is my deep understanding and love for animals. I believe that pets are not just animals but they are members of the family. Therefore, I treat them with the same care and respect as their owners would. I stay home most of the day so the pet is not left alone for any extended amount of time and if I am not home then they will be in the area I keep my dogs. Firstly, I ensure that pets have access to clean water and food at all times. Secondly, they should be given regular exercise and playtime as per their breed and age requirements. Thirdly, it is crucial to maintain good hygiene by keeping their living space clean and grooming them regularly.

She is incredibly easy to work with, always thoroughly communicative, extremely accommodating and, without a doubt, well-knowledgeable and experienced in what she does. My pup is always happy and exhausted after time with Kyler, and I'm always at ease knowing that she will be well taken care of in Kyler's company. The praise in this review is absolutely well-deserved!”
About: I was trained how to train dogs at an early age after our first dog was trained by our breeder. Since then I trained 2 golden retrievers and an Australian Cattle dog (red heeler). Both breeds are strong willed and have high energy. I work from home and so have a lot of freedom to break away to take care of dogs. I enjoy taking care of dogs and sharing the knowledge from my experience of training and raising dogs. I have a large beautiful fenced yard, have multiple crates for use and live within walking distance of a dog park. I have kids that will make sure your dog gets lots of love while being boarded.
“Cody was great with our dog! We received cute photo and video updates during the day, and our dog seemed happy when he came home. What more can you ask for? Thank you!”
About: Hi! My whole life has resolved around dogs and I couldn’t imagine a world without them! I grew up with a daushaund, 2 labs, and a cocker spaniel so I am comfortable with all shapes and sizes of dogs. This past June, my husband surprised me with a golden retriever, Huck, and to say we are obsessed is an understatement. We don’t have any children so we will have plenty of time to devote to your pup to make sure he or she has the best day ever! My husband and I both work from home 100% of the time so we will have plenty of time to care for your pup! We are available Monday through Friday and are super flexible with the times! We have a fenced in back yard and live in a safe neighborhood with lots of walking trails around us. We have year old golden retriever who LOVES other dogs and can’t wait to meet new friends!
“Lawden is amazing! Zeus loves her and loves going over to her house to play. It’s so reassuring to know my pup gets the same love and and affection and correction 😅 he would get at home. Lawden provides a safe and stimulating and social environment for Zeus and he loves going to see her!”
“Doug did a great job taking care of our dog, Paisley! We were visiting family and needed a sitter in a pinch (during a holiday weekend no less) and Doug was super quick to respond and help us out. He provided nice updates with photos, and it was clear Paisley had a great time and was well taken care of. He even took the extra effort to replace her ball when she lost it the bushes while playing outside. Would definitely use Doug again.”

About: I have worked with various breeds from a Newfoundland to a Pomeranian. My family owns two dogs that have had two litters of puppies so I have experience with dogs from new born to seniors. I also have a two furbabies of my own. I’m highly motivated and energetic, I don’t mind taking high energy dogs for long walks/ runs or just snuggling up and comforting dogs with separation anxiety. I don’t mind taking your dog on field trips, weather it’s to the lake or the dog park or just playing inside on rainy days! I love all breeds of dogs even ones considered “bully breeds” those are the sweetest in my opinion. For dog boarding if you have your dogs trained a certain way (staying off furniture) I can certainly enforce that while they are at my house. I can also work with any other needs like that if it is needed. Such as if your dogs do not get along with other dogs I can always put mine up in their room. The dogs will always meet in a neutral area before brought in the house to make sure they get along! I am currently attending school online so my schedule is open and very flexible! Whether your dog just needs a walk midday, someone to feed them while you’re at work, or someone to come stay with them/ to come stay with me and my pup because they aren’t good alone at home! I am currently in an house it does not have a fenced in backyard but i do have a big backyard and tie outs. I also have 2 furbabies to keep your pup comapany! If your dog is reactive i will make sure to keep a close eye on our surroundings while on walks!

They all get along, but I feel more comfortable to allow them to have their own spaces.
“Riley is a wonderful dog walker/sitter (and dog photographer)! I could tell through the many photos and when we got home that our dog was comfortable and happy throughout the day (:”
About: I am an 8+ yr experienced sitter. I have been feeding, walking and grooming dogs, my whole life I enjoy what I do and what I have been doing serving and caring for my clients babies. Is it is important for me to give you the best quality service for your pet ! It is my duty to protect provide and to love your babies ! I’m currently doing a part-time job so I have plenty of time for your puppy. Most certainly that me and your baby would have ton of fun. I have a fenced in yard, so your pup will have plenty of room to play in and run around all day long with plenty of activities
About: I’m 39 years old and there has been a pet in my life since I was 7. I’m an only child and my pets quickly became like siblings (we didn’t fight like them, promise). I became the primary caregiver for my mom’s two senior mini dachshunds a few years ago and was able to get them crate and pee-pad trained. One of them crossed the rainbow bridge sadly, but my other little old lady is doing well. I fall in love with every animal I see and I would love the chance to fall in love with yours. I’m currently working a full time second shift job (1pm-11pm) so I have the mornings completely open to check on your babies. I’m also a night owl and have no problem doing a nighttime check after work or begin an overnight stay. If you have a fenced yard, I will let them outside and let them do their business before tossing a ball or toy or running around with them to get the zoomies out. If no yard, then I will take them out on a leash for a walk then some playtime inside. Food and water will be checked and refilled; cuddles will be provided at will. :)
“Christina is the best petsitter. My experience with her for the past 4 months have been amazing. I was never worried about my dog and she took care of Kai so well. 1000% recommended”
About: I have had multiple dogs growing up I do have a dog right now and I have dog sat my aunts dog while leaves. Dogs and children are the two things I really love in this world and I feel that I know how to care for them as they are my own. I a pretty free after 12 during the weekdays and on the weekend I am very free to do what ever needs to be done. I have a lot of time to spare and spend with dogs rather that be a nice long walk like I do with my dog everyday or just playing with for a while. I live in an apartment with my own dog but I have plenty of space for them to play and keep each other company. If you dog does require a crate I have enough space for that and have a nice trail and a park next to my apartment for me to walk them around.
About: I know how stressful it can be to choose someone to care for your pets, and I’ve totally been there. I have two small dogs myself, and I hate leaving them behind. My goal is to give you peace of mind, knowing your pets are safe, happy, and loved while you’re away. I’ve cared for animals my whole life, from cats, and dogs, to even an abandoned deer for two days. I’d love to be your best friend’s new best friend! Currently, I’m a stay at home dog mom. I take my boys to the Red Mountain or Vestavia Hills Dog Park almost everyday, and they couldn’t be happier! Whether your pet stays with me or I come to you, they’ll be cared for just like my own. In my home, they’ll enjoy our fully fenced, backyard, walks, playtime, and plenty of snuggles. In your home, I’ll stick to their routine so they feel happy, safe, and loved

By currently owning two pets I am constantly taking care of my cats! I have a flexible work schedule so I am able to take a lunch and check in on a pet! I make sure that all my animals are updated on vaccines and they attend their regular vet check ups. I research types of food that I feed my pets and what type of toys they are allowed to have.
About: I love animals, I have owned various furry friends throughout my life. Cats, dogs, bunnies, fish, etc. I work with animals on a daily basis. Providing for animals is my dedication. I have worked for pet stores and handled tons of different pets with personalities all different than the last. I have a puppy of my own whom I currently training, sit, potty training, lay, and wait. She’s currently understanding sit and stay. Great progress! Dealing with animals is healing and I try to fill my weekly schedule with caring for pets. Including after hours for my current job and to also help individuals who need assistance. I always take my time to deal with animals in their own environment.

“Jessica was great! We got pictures every day and a video too! We could tell she made our old girl comfortable and happy in a new environment. She also has a one level house with no stairs to the backyard which is great for dogs with arthritis. We will definitely use her again next time we go out of town!”
“Wade and Morgan are AMAZING!! This was the longest I have ever left my pup so I was very nervous about being away from him but they made the entire experience effortless. They sent me picture updates every single day if not twice a day! My dog seemed to not want to leave their house and I could tell that he was very happy and very very well taken care of. I would recommend them to anyone who asks and I will definitely be booking with them again in the future! Thank you so so much Wade and Morgan I appreciate you guys more than you know!”

One of the best in care and price! 🐕”

“I can tell Dubs was happy with his visit at Savannah’s house! I so appreciate her taking such good care of him. He hasn’t had a lot of experience spending the night away from home, but I felt comfortable leaving him with her. Dubs enjoyed her dog, large fenced in yard and being included as part of the family this week. I’m so thankful to find such a loving place for him to stay when we go out of town!”
“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!!”
“If I could leave 10 out of 5 stars I would! Amanda was wonderful and we could not have asked for a better experience. Besides being kind, gentle, and thoughtful, she was very caring and gave our dog lots of attention. We had multiple pictures and videos, which were so nice. She took Oliver on walks every day, not down the street, but to a park every day. She also fed him home cooked chicken (with my approval) to try to get him to eat (picky eater!). I know Oliver had a great time and it was so nice not worrying about our little boy! We will definitely use her again! Thank you Amanda!”
