“Steven and his family were the best! We had never left our pups at anyone else’s house before and they had the best time. He took several pictures every day so we could see our babies. Our one Aussie is very shy and he warmed right up. I feel like they had a vacation right along with us. They were definitely spoiled. 😂 I will be using Steven again no doubt.”
“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!”

“I have found my new pet boarders! Kira and Carter are patient, professional and caring. They board by temperament and it was obvious from the pictures they sent that my Lucy was having an absolute ball!! She is even calmer since coming home and a bonus - she regained her svelte puppy figure!”
“Donna M must be one of the best host northern Alabama has to offer. She is kind, caring, and passionate about her calling, which is loving on pets and humans. Not to mention her home is immaculate! On a scale from 1 to 10 if I would recommend her, it would be an “11”😊👍🏽”
“We could not be happier with our experience using Meaghan and Johnny to care for our pup, Grayson. They welcomed him into their home and made him part of their family. They made us feel very comfortable leaving him there and kept us updated with pictures and videos of his adventures while we were away. Grayson had so much fun there that we were afraid he would not want to come home :). If you are looking for a compassionate and caring family to care for you pet, look no further.”

“Brittany is such a dog lover that cared for our Bailey as if he were part of her own family which includes 3 well behaved and adorable dogs. Brittany takes one client at a time so you can feel peace of mind knowing your dog will be well cared for in a space that is just right. Thank you Brittany! Helen & Dan”

“Great dog loving household helped us out when we were hung up getting out our door to leave on our vacation. We were happy to find them waiting with open arms for our pet. ”
“Cassie was awesome! I was very nervous about leaving my two little dogs with anyone, and I’m so happy I took the chance with Rover and chose Cassie. She took great care of them, sent me updates and pictures, and kept in contact with me. I will absolutely use her again and recommend her to anyone needing care for their fur baby!”
“Danielle took excellent care of my boy Steven while I was away. And even though I had to ask for an extension of his stay she was accommodating and welcoming. And maintained excellent communication throughout the two weeks of boarding for him. I’ll definitely be booking with her more frequently. I know Steven enjoyed his stay and even made some friends along the way. 10/10 will return!”
“Amber was a sweet, patient and caring sitter for our senior dog with lots of special needs. She cared for Ellie as if she was her own and was happy to accommodate all of Ellie's needs. Amber kept us updated on how she was doing through out the stay. We would definitely use Amber again as it was clear Ellie was comfortable there.”
“Diane’s a natural at caring for pets. She’s compassionate, sympathetic and earnest. She’s also professional and is ready to do what it takes to make sure my dog is her happy herself. It’s wonderful to come home to a joyful pet.”

“Tyler was very attentive and respectful. He tended to Felix and played with him. He was very communicative and loving with Felix. We’d love to have him take care of our handsome boy again!”

“Olivia was fantastic! She sent us the cutest photos of our two cats each time she visited. What really impressed us is that she examined on of our cats and found a growth that may be of concern. We had never noticed it and now we can set up a vet appointment for her to make sure all is well. We definitely want to use her again.”
About: From a young age, I have always had a deep love and appreciation for animals. Throughout my life, I’ve cared for a variety of pets, including bunnies, hamsters, guinea pigs, turtles, dogs, and cats. Being around animals brings me genuine joy and fulfillment. As a dedicated pet parent myself, I understand the importance of providing attentive, compassionate care. I treat every animal as if they were my own, ensuring their comfort, safety, and happiness at all times. Whether administering medication, maintaining feeding schedules, or offering extra affection, I’m committed to meeting each pet’s individual needs. My experience includes walking dogs, providing personalized attention, engaging in playtime, feeding, and offering companionship to help pets feel secure and loved while their families are away. As a stay-at-home pet mom, I have a flexible schedule that allows me to give your pets the dedicated time, care, and attention they deserve each day. I live in an apartment, so I don’t offer pet sitting in my own home, but I’m more than happy to care for your pets in the comfort of their own home. I believe animals feel most secure in their familiar space, and I always do my best to make sure they feel loved, safe, and well cared for while you’re away.
“Jennifer came by and fed/cleaned up after my 4 cats. It was so nice to come home to clean boxes, fed kitties and general tidiness!! I will definitely use her again next time I travel. It’s golden not having to stress over their care!!!”
“Katrina was amazing. She gave very detailed updates with lots of pictures. You can tell that she really loves animals and I always felt that she went above and beyond to care for my cat. Will definitely use her services again when I go out of town.”
“April was an absolute lifesaver! I needed a last-minute sitter for my two cats, and she stepped up without hesitation. She was incredibly prompt, highly responsive, and so cooperative throughout the entire process. My cats were in great hands, and the whole experience was entirely stress-free. I highly recommend her and will definitely be booking her again!”
“Tess is so great!! A good communicator and took amazing care of our baby kitten who needed special attention. Highly recommended. I will be using her again for our kitten and dog.”
“My cats love Theresa! Even our cat who doesn't come out for anyone, Theresa is able to spot her to make sure she's still around. She always stays for the whole time, and sends the best pics in the report cards. I feel totally at ease k owing the bbs are taken care of”
“Shyanne was a pleasure to work with. Very accessible and easy to get in touch with. Nobu was also very comfortable with Shyanne which was a relief while on vacation. Will absolutely request her services in the future and highly suggest her to others.”
“I’m so grateful for the care Kanese gave my dog while we were away for a week. She was reliable, communicative, and clearly cared about my pup’s well being. I loved getting photo updates and could tell my dog was happy, comfortable, and well taken care of. It gave me real peace of mind knowing she was in such good hands. Highly recommend!”
“Felicity was wonderful with our two cats! She spent so much quality time with them and sent lots of photos and videos throughout our trip, which we absolutely loved. Her communication was kind, warm, and always quick. I felt completely at ease the entire time we were away. We’re so grateful and hope she’s available the next time we need a pet sitter. Highly recommend!”

Perfect for high energy dogs - Madison
“Colleen was very accommodating of our last minute request and our puppy was so happy to spend time at Colleen’s. She sent us a much appreciated update and photo. Thank you so much.”
“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!!!!”
“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: As a dog mom myself I know it’s nerve wracking having to leave your fur baby in someone else’s care.. That’s why I make it priority to give every pet parent the same peace of mind I’d want for my own dogs. When your fur-baby is with me, they’re treated like one of my own. I know no two pets are alike, so I take the time to learn their routine, personality, and preferences. So whether they love to play, need extra enrichment, enjoy quiet companionship, or do better with structure, I’ll make sure they receive the individualized care they’re used to at home so they feel comfortable! I also love keeping pet parents involved, so you can expect lots of photos, videos, and updates throughout their stay or visit! Pet care is already a part of my everyday life. Outside of caring for client pets, you’ll usually find me spending time with my own dogs, going on walks and hikes, working on training, and socializing. Caring for animals isn’t just my job, it’s something I genuinely enjoy every single day. All pup’s safety and comfort are always my top priorities. My home is fully fenced for safe outdoor play, and dogs enjoy plenty of supervised playtime, enrichment activities, toys, and opportunities to relax throughout the day. Every dog is different, so I do my best to match their energy level and personality, whether they love to play with friends or prefer a little 1-on-1 attention. To keep everyone safe and comfortable, meals and treats are enjoyed separately, followed by a quiet rest break in their own cozy crate. I use crates as a positive, comfortable space to relax after meals as downtime which helps support healthy digestion before everyone is back to playing and exploring together.
“Mrs. Barbara and Mr. Keith were wonderful! Mrs. Barbara’s training skills were impressive, and she created a very nice space for Tokyo and Indy, introducing them little by little. Tokyo had a great time, and I highly recommend them! 🐶 ❤️”

“Ashley was the best sitter imaginable for our GSD puppy. She sent tons of photos and most importantly, she knew exactly how to care for our pup. GSD’s are special, and Ashley was well-versed of his natural tendencies especially prey drive and protection. We are so grateful for the wonderful time for our sweet pup and she gave us total peace of mind knowing he was in very capable hands. Will re-book with Ashley next time we come to Huntsville!”
“Last minute booking on a stressed road trip, and I could not have been more happy and grateful. Ricco was comfortable and mostly slept after a long night in hotels. So, so grateful. Thank you!”

“So far so good. Steven showed me he new what he was doing yesterday when I introduced him to my dog Huxley. I had just adopted Huxley 3 weeks ago. Huxley came from a neglectful home and has never been properly socialized. He bolts when people approach him. Steven handled it like a champ, he got down on his level, talked to him in a calm gently voice. Offered treats and just pet him and showed him he is not a threat. He eventually unclipped the leash and Hux stayed right there. I highly recommend Steven!!!”
“Angelica met Lotus for the first time this week by walking him during a last minute scheduling. I can tell that she's so caring and loving. Lotus is very energetic during walks and he pulls sometimes , so that alone tells me that she is very patient. She caters to him and its such a peace of mind knowing someone like her is caring for my little guy. I appreciate her!”
“Five stars isn’t enough! Tyler has been absolutely amazing with my dogs, Cuper and Dash. He walks them three times a week for 30 minutes, and every time they see him, their tails go wild with excitement. It’s clear he genuinely cares for them — he’s reliable, kind, and has built such a great bond with both of my pups. I have total peace of mind knowing they’re in such good hands. Tyler is truly a gem, and I can’t recommend him enough!”
“From the first time we met Katie we knew our pups were in good hands! She’s very knowledgeable about pets and we were confident she would do a great job Katie was punctual for all her visits and went above and beyond what was asked of her. Couldn’t be happier with her service”
“This was outlet first time leaving our fur babies in the care of someone that wasn’t family. I must say, I didn’t worry ONCE! We got fantastic communication and pictures daily which was so sweet! I won’t hesitate to book with Cynthia again, she was super sweet to our 3 dogs and I was surprised how well they took to her right off the bat! Perfect first time experience!!”
“Alison was so amazing! She communicated throughly and kept me updated on her arrival/walk with my Charley girl. Thankful she went the extra mile because that helped put me at ease. I would book her again any day! :)”
“Katrina was incredible with my senior dog (Sonny) who needed a little extra care, patience, and attention. From day one, she treated him like her own, making sure he felt safe and loved. She’s punctual, professional, and communicates clearly with thoughtful updates after every visit. You can tell she genuinely loves what she does, and dogs love her right back. If you’re looking for someone truly elite, especially for a dog with special needs, Katrina is the one.”
“My regular walker had to cancel last minute due to an emergency and Karla stepped right in! She texted me with any concerns (ie lack of poo!) and went out of her way to help! She gets two paws up!!! 🐾”
“Tess is amazing! My two pups warmed up to her very quickly and just love her! She is very prompt and communicative. She has a clear love for animals and I’m so glad I found her through Rover!”
“Elizabeth was nothing short of amazing! She really is the best and loves your pet like her own! She’s the first dog walker I hired for my puppy and I’m so happy I did. You will not regret having Elizabeth watch over your fur baby!!”
About: Hi, I'm Lisa — a Registered Nurse, a mom, and a lifelong animal lover. For 17 years I've cared for people at their most vulnerable, and I bring that same calm, attentive, compassionate approach to every pet in my care. Pet care isn’t a side gig or something I stumbled into - it’s a deliberate choice rooted in a lifelong love of animals and a professional commitment to doing things right. I understand what it means to trust someone with the ones you love and I take that responsibility very seriously. I am independently insured and bonded, giving you peace-of-mind that you are fully supported when I am caring for your pet. I'm home during the day, which means your pet gets real, focused attention — not a rushed visit squeezed between other obligations. When you're at work, traveling, or just need a break, your furry family member will be safe, comfortable, and loved. I structure our days around our clients' pets. Morning walks, midday drop-ins, and daytime care all fit naturally into my daily routine so your pet's schedule stays consistent even when yours gets busy. I believe pets are happiest when their routine stays intact. When visiting your home, I stick to the schedule you've set — meals, walks, playtime, and rest — so your pet barely notices you're gone. That predictability is what keeps them calm, comfortable, and well cared for.

About: We have taken care of dogs of all ages and sizes. Our personal pup, Cookie, made it to 18, so we’re comfortable administering medications if needed. We’ve watched dogs across Europe and the US. We’re just as comfortable out on a jog as we are lounging around on the couch. My wife and I work from home, so you can trust that your dog will be watched, loved, and taken care of as if it was our own. We’re also cat-friendly! My wife and I work from home and are only gone at the same time for a short period to the gym. Otherwise, we split duties and are typically home or out on a walk together. We are currently a pet-free home, which is why we’re offering our services here, as we love pets but also enjoy worry-free traveling when possible. We live in a two story house in a quiet and walkable neighborhood. We also have a small fenced in yard, but make no guarantees for escape artists. If we are in your home, we will treat it as if it’s our own. We are homeowners ourselves and always pride ourselves on leaving a space cleaner than we found it. We will defer to your judgement on how to best care for your pet.
