“Lauryn is an amazing host. She is caring and will send you lots of pictures when your dog boards with her. She is also very patient and prioritizes our dog's health. We have had to cancel several bookings with her due to unforeseen circumstances, but she is always kind and willing to work with us. I am going to make another booking after leaving this review.”
“my dogs LOVE mia and their family! i usually get home from a trip and get the cold shoulder or anxiety from my boys. this time i think they miss mia as much as they missed me! mia sent me frequent photos and in every single one my boys were having a blast 🧡 i could tell mia really cared about their wellbeing! their medication schedules and my one boy being on prescription food makes me nervous about going to a kennel with so many dogs that they could potentially get looked over. no shade to those businesses but with senior dogs needing specialized care im so grateful we found mia. will definitely be repeat customers!”
“Courtney did a great job! No worries while we were away, and we came back to a calm and happy dog - we will definitely use Courtney's Rover service again.”
“Thank you so much for making my dog feel at home! Callie was very responsive to all inquiries and always gives an update to how your pet is doing. I could tell from the pictures she sent me that my dog was having a great time at her home and was treated with love like her own pet.”
“Piper is such an ideal caretaker! She was so excellent in making my dog feel at home, safe, and loved for. She was so communicative, sent great photos, and is incredibly kind! Piper is the best; I plan on booking services with her again!”
“Ruben is awesome. He is patient and caring. Spot had a great time. Ruben took the efforts to make Spot's stay comfortable. Spot looked happy and in good shape when we picked him up. Ruben's Cat Simba is awesome.My only future request for him would be to update us mord frequently with photos.”
About: I’ve grown up around animals and have always loved caring for pets! I have experience with feeding, walking, playing, bathing, and providing lots of attention and affection. I’m comfortable following specific routines and instructions to make sure every pet gets the care they’re used to. I understand how important it is to trust the person caring for your pets, so I’ll treat every animal like they’re my own and keep owners updated with plenty of pictures and messages. Whether your pet loves long walks, playtime, cuddles, or just having someone around to keep them company, I’m happy to adjust to their individual personality and needs! As a college student, my schedule gives me plenty of flexibility throughout the week for pet care. I’m available between and after classes, as well as during many evenings and weekends. I’m happy to work with your pet’s normal routine and plan visits, walks, feeding, and playtime around their needs. I’ll always communicate my availability clearly so you know exactly when your pet will be cared for Your pet’s safety and comfort will always be my priority. I carefully follow all instructions provided by owners, including feeding schedules, walking routines, medications, crate instructions, and any household rules.

I’ll give your pet plenty of attention while keeping you updated with pictures and messages so you can feel comfortable while you’re away.

“Victoria took SUCH great care of my pup! I received picture updates of Mila having a blast with her two new doggo friends. I will definitely be using her in the future! Thank you, Victoria!”
“Couldn't have been anymore comfortable with leaving my dog with someone. James and Myrna exceeded expectations with their care. They kept my labrador (Floki) for about a week and they texted us daily photos of him. They have an amazing yard which is kept up very nice as well as a doggy door that goes into their home. Their dog (Maggie Mae) is a well obedient dog too, which I'm sure our dog loved to play with every day. We will definitely use them again in the future the next time we need a sitter.”

And since she is so close to my sisters house I will MOST DEFINITELY keep her as my go to anytime I am in Mobile visiting my sister!! Thank you so much Allie God bless🙏🏽”
“My dog, Ryder, enjoyed his stay with Charlie and his dogs. Charlie was very accommodating. We set up a meet and greet for our dogs and they ended up playing for 2 hours! I was updated daily, however much I requested. I only had to provide food and anything else I specifically wanted to bring. Charlie had an extra kennel and plenty of toys. He did walks with Ryder and made sure he got all that lab energy out. We’re back home now and Ryder’s going to sleep for a few days. He’s worn out from his great weekend!! I’m looking forward to using Charlie and his family again.”

About: I have been in-house pet sitting for 8 years now. What started as a college side gig has now turned into my side job business. After years of getting referrals by word of mouth, I recently, in 2026, decided to go public with my business! So that brings me to Rover! 🐾 I believe pet care is about more than just a task of feeding, potty breaks, and walks. I have always had a deep love for animals and making sure they feel LOVED. When you choose me as your sitter, your pets become my bonus-furbabies, and I love them as if they were my own! I learn your pet's routine, personality, and preferences so they receive love and care that is tailored to them. A lot of my clients are repeat clients, and I love getting to know each pet's unique personality. As the owner of Paws & Relax Pet Staycation, I value building lasting relationships with both pets and their owners. I know how important communication is, so I'll keep you updated with photos and messages, giving you peace of mind while you're away. My goal is simple: for your pets to feel cared for and comfortable in their home, and for you to return home knowing that they were treated like family. I currently work full-time near Grelot Rd. and University Blvd. When you hire me as your in-home pet sitter, my goal is to spend as much time as possible at your home with your pets, seamlessly blending their care with my workday schedule. I also provide overnight stays to ensure your pets have companionship throughout the night, keeping their usual routine completely intact and stress-free! If your home is within 15 to 20 min from my workplace, a midday visit is available for a potty break for your pets. I only provide pet sitting inside the client's home, as I believe pets do best in their own familiar surroundings. I always schedule a Meet & Greet at least two weeks before your trip so I can meet your pets with you there—that way, I’m a friend walking through the door on day one, not a stranger. While I'm visiting, we’ll fill out a personalized care sheet together. We'll map out everything from feeding schedules and medications to their favorite games, daily habits, and emergency info, ensuring they get the exact care they're used to.
About: I have 13 years of experience caring for cats and understand the importance of patience, comfort, and routine when it comes to feline care. I am dependable, attentive, and committed to making sure every cat feels safe, relaxed, and cared for while their owner is away. Friends, family, and neighbors have trusted me to feed, play with, clean litter boxes for, medicate them,and care for their cats. I treat every pet with kindness, love, and the same level of care I would give my own.
“Courtney was great for cat sitting! She sent photos each day and a quick text to let me know how it went, which I greatly appreciated and gave me a lot of peace of mind. My cat seems relaxed and happy when I got home. Can’t wait to have Courtney come back for Labor Day!”
About: I’ve had cats my entire life and love my cats as if they came out of my body. All but one of my cats are rescue/rehome situations and we welcomed them with open arms. The cats who need medication are given them on time. Those that have accidents out of the litter box are not a problem! I don’t invade their boundaries and will stick to a feeding schedule if needed.
About: I have been a dog sitter before and I have a dog of my own which I have had since she was a puppy, I love all animals and love to take care of them! I’m newly married and don’t have a job, I mostly just tend to our house and would love to have something to do during the day! I have a fenced in back yard and a spacious living room in my house, both great for plenty of play time and running around!
“Victoria was fabulous! She took great care of our cats, vacuumed the laundry room after scooping litter, and brought packages in off the front porch. We will definitely ask her to come check on our cats again in the future!”
“Cynthia is such a great asset to my Sophie! She is very kind and loving with her. She is prompt and detail oriented . She asked all the right questions to make sure she didn’t miss any aspect of Sophie’s care. Today was our first drop in visit and I will definitely be scheduling more in the future. She feels like someone I can trust!”
About: I understand that cats have unique personalities and routines, and I take time to make sure they feel comfortable, safe, and stress-free while their owners are away. I pay close attention to their feeding schedules, litter box cleanliness, and individual behavior so I can quickly notice if anything seems off. Whether a cat is social or more independent, I respect their space and adjust my care to match their needs. My goal is always to provide calm, reliable care so both pets and owners feel at ease.

“She is an amazing sitter who is extremely kind and knowledgeable. Her dogs were really sweet and friendly. She kept me updated throughout the stay and Rico had an amazing time. I would recommend her.”
About: Hello! I’m Ruben, a retired Army First Sergeant with over 20 years of military service. Throughout my career, people trusted me with important responsibilities. Today, I bring that same reliability, integrity, and attention to detail to caring for your pets and home. Animals have been a part of my life for as long as I can remember. I’ve cared for dogs, cats, rabbits, turtles, chickens, and even an iguana named Rex. My first dog, Dotti, taught me what unconditional love truly means. As she grew older, I helped care for her every day, making sure she stayed comfortable, happy, and loved. That experience has stayed with me ever since. I’ve volunteered with the Humane Society, pet sat for family and friends, and have experience working alongside veterinarians. Whether your pet is energetic, shy, senior, or needs a little extra patience, I’ll care for them with kindness, respect, and compassion. While you’re away, you’ll receive regular updates, photos, and honest communication so you always know how your pet is doing. My goal is simple: to give your pets the love and attention they deserve while giving you complete peace of mind. Your pets will be cared for and loved as if they were my own. I would be honored to earn your trust. I’m fully retired after over 20 years of military service, which gives me a flexible schedule and allows me to provide dependable pet care throughout the day. I offer morning, afternoon, evening, weekend, and holiday visits. Whether you need daily drop-ins, extended vacation care, or last-minute help, I’m available to work around your schedule. Your pet’s safety and your home’s security are my top priorities. I follow your pet’s normal routine, provide fresh food and water, medication if needed, walks, playtime, and plenty of attention. I also perform home security checks, bring in mail and packages, water plants, and make sure everything is secure while you’re away. As a retired Army First Sergeant, I understand responsibility, reliability, and treating your home with respect.

About: What makes me different is that my experience isn’t just from watching dogs—it comes from truly caring for my own over many years. I went through the full journey of raising a puppy into her senior years, which taught me patience, responsibility, and deep respect for animals’ needs. Since then, I’ve felt naturally drawn to caring for pets and making sure they feel safe, loved, and understood. I currently have full availability after returning from college, which allows me to focus on pet care as a priority. I am flexible with scheduling and can provide care throughout the day, including mornings, evenings, and overnight stays when needed. I care for pets by following their normal routines as closely as possible to help them feel safe and comfortable. In a client’s home, I make sure to respect their space while keeping pets on their usual feeding, walking, and play schedule. I pay close attention to instructions and details provided by the owner so each pet receives consistent, personalized care. If caring for pets in my home, I provide a calm, clean, and safe environment where they are supervised and given plenty of attention, exercise, and affection. I make sure they have fresh water, proper feeding times, and a stress-free space to relax. My goal is always to treat every pet like my own and ensure they feel secure and well cared for at all times.

About: Hi! I'm an animal lover with 2 years of pet sitting experience, along with all necessary certifications working with animals. All I need is a chance to express that I can be a patient, sensitive, and reliable pet caregiver. I currently have full time availability to pet sit your pet(s)! Please reach out ahead of time for upcoming holidays. My goal is to become a full time pet sitter w my own pet sitting business. *Indoors in my home I can assure that any harmful items will not be in sight, I don't have children nor do I have pets of my own at the moment, and I'm pretty neat. Front and patio door remains closed and locked unless going out with the pet. There is central cooling, of course there's going to be playtime indoors and outdoors, and soon I can provide extra pet supplies, but do feel free to bring your own. *Indoors in your home will be the same and I will apply your preferred schedule/routine while you're away! I believe in respecting other people's home, so if I make a mess, I'm cleaning up after myself! Also security of the home is important to me, so I do prefer to be knowledgeable of your home security system if you have one. Outdoors/ In Vehicle Leashes will be used as it is required by local guidelines, I prefer to take your pet out early mornings or evenings (7:00p.m) for potty time, but if you request them to be taken out a time of day where the sun is scorching hot, I will keep the out time very short. Feeding bowls or trays will be brought in my vehicle once I purchase another one, so your pet(s) can have nutrition on the go too!

Did the internship for a couple of months then got a job taking care of the dogs in the kennel for boarding. I did that for about 3 1/2 years. I also have two dogs of my own! I work part time at a restaurant and I don’t really have a set day of when i’ll be available. Every schedule is different but I mostly work nights and available during the day. I have a fenced yard and two pups to keep your dog company. Also have two crates for a small to medium dog. thank you
About: I have plenty of experience when it comes to caring for dogs, especially big dogs (as a great dane owner). Feeding, walking, cleaning up after them, and even training them. Taking care of multiple pets at a time is no problem! I am currently a college student who only has classes in the mornings so my afternoons and nights are free. If needed, I am available to wake up early before my classes to care for your pets. I will ensure that all animals are accounted for and taken care of. I will make sure all doors are shut and everything is in order. It’s very important to keep anything dangerous out of site and stay alert while caring for animals.
About: Pets have always been apart of my life! I grew up with a variety of breeds of dogs. I have even had a few pet birds! As a teenager & young adult, pet sitting has been a frequent side gig of mine that has brought me joy and a way to help support my growing family. I work remotely and am home for most of the day. My husband is also usually home during the day. While your pets stay with us, they will have plenty of love and attention! I have a large backyard that is fully fenced. For your pets safety, they will always be supervised and not left alone outside or be exposed to extreme heat or cold. I take daily walks with my children and your pet, always leashed for safety. I keep a large crate with comfortable bedding for sleeping. I do have 2 toddlers who adore animals & the entertainment that often comes along with them. Because of this, I can only accept pets that are known to be good with children. We also have a Jack Russel mix named Sadie. She is good with other dogs!
About: I’ve been a vet tech, a zookeeper, and have been caring for animals almost all my life. I went to school for wildlife ecology, and I am trained in home introduction techniques. I’m happy to care for any special needs or particular requests you have to make your pet’s as comfortable as possible during their stay! Looking forward to caring for your furry family members soon. I work full-time, but when I am home I make sure to give your fur babies my undivided attention. My wife is home all day, so she can definitely help out with your fur babies! I make sure every dog is comfortable with me, and I let them walk around my home to get a sense of the area. If the clients home I make sure the dog/dogs are comfortable with me as well, and once they are I proceed with taking care of them.

“my dogs LOVE mia and their family! i usually get home from a trip and get the cold shoulder or anxiety from my boys. this time i think they miss mia as much as they missed me! mia sent me frequent photos and in every single one my boys were having a blast 🧡 i could tell mia really cared about their wellbeing! their medication schedules and my one boy being on prescription food makes me nervous about going to a kennel with so many dogs that they could potentially get looked over. no shade to those businesses but with senior dogs needing specialized care im so grateful we found mia. will definitely be repeat customers!”

“My dog, Ryder, enjoyed his stay with Charlie and his dogs. Charlie was very accommodating. We set up a meet and greet for our dogs and they ended up playing for 2 hours! I was updated daily, however much I requested. I only had to provide food and anything else I specifically wanted to bring. Charlie had an extra kennel and plenty of toys. He did walks with Ryder and made sure he got all that lab energy out. We’re back home now and Ryder’s going to sleep for a few days. He’s worn out from his great weekend!! I’m looking forward to using Charlie and his family again.”
About: What makes me different is that my experience isn’t just from watching dogs—it comes from truly caring for my own over many years. I went through the full journey of raising a puppy into her senior years, which taught me patience, responsibility, and deep respect for animals’ needs. Since then, I’ve felt naturally drawn to caring for pets and making sure they feel safe, loved, and understood. I currently have full availability after returning from college, which allows me to focus on pet care as a priority. I am flexible with scheduling and can provide care throughout the day, including mornings, evenings, and overnight stays when needed. I care for pets by following their normal routines as closely as possible to help them feel safe and comfortable. In a client’s home, I make sure to respect their space while keeping pets on their usual feeding, walking, and play schedule. I pay close attention to instructions and details provided by the owner so each pet receives consistent, personalized care. If caring for pets in my home, I provide a calm, clean, and safe environment where they are supervised and given plenty of attention, exercise, and affection. I make sure they have fresh water, proper feeding times, and a stress-free space to relax. My goal is always to treat every pet like my own and ensure they feel secure and well cared for at all times.
“Wynema was great! She was willing to take care of our fur baby even though it was short notice and a holiday weekend. She is super friendly and communication was great. She sent us pics daily. Helped us enjoy our weekend away knowing that our boy was being loved on.”
“Robin was AWESOME! Our dogs felt right at home with her-lots of petting, frequent exercise walks and lazy afternoon naps-all documented with pictures and videos and sent to me. Our dogs were so relaxed when we picked them up! What a stress free vacation for us and our dogs!”
