“Ann did an amazing job with Rev. She took great care of him, and she watched him longer than I originally requested. She sent me plenty of great photos of my dog as well. She kept me up to date with his care needs. I couldn’t of asked for a better sitter for my best friend.”
“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.”
“We can’t say enough of how great Lauri is and how she is just apart of our family. Bentley just loves her and I have never felt more at ease leaving my big baby with someone as I do her. Lauri had a heart of gold and we are blessed to have found her.”
“This is my second time booking with Callie and she is just as sweet as ever! She is very professional and always takes such good care of my pup. With the pictures and updates Callie sends I can tell that my dog is just having the time of her life there. I couldn’t imagine booking with anyone else!”
“Miss Brenda is wonderful! Bear enjoyed his time with her. She was so sweet and gave him the rubber chicken toy that he liked. We will definitely book with Miss Brenda in the future! She sent us video/picture updates. We loved to see that he was having fun!”
“Allie and Chipper did a great job taking care of Gracie. We looked forward to the pictures she sent of Gracie playing with Chipper and getting belly rubs from Allie. We will definitely ask Allie to keep Gracie next time we need a sitter.”
About: I grew up with cats, dogs, turtles, lizards… basically anything I could get away with bringing home. I have been a pet parent to my cats, Maybell for the last 10 years, and Gia for the last 6. They are precious girls that I love dearly, and I have extensive experience with varieties of dog breeds from working at a boarding and grooming facility! I work full time as a physical therapist during the week days and miss getting to have dogs around to love on! As an outdoors fanatic and someone who seeks movement throughout my days, being an add on walker/per sitter in my free time is a dream job of a way to get to be around the pets I love (but can’t currently have due to a skiddish older cat!) and my passion for taking care of others! I am comfortable with medication dispensing due to previously caring for highly medically complex family pets, as well as extensive time working at a boarding and grooming facility which taught me a myriad of tips for caring for easy and more finicky pets all alike!! I can provide and manage crate care, walking, running, and hiking experiences for your pet during a stay but also as happy to couch potato with your pup!
“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.”
“We’re so thankful to Jennifer for watching our dog Moose during our trip! She was a great communicator and kept us updated with photos. It sounds like my dog and hers became great pals. She made sure to check on his needs so he was comfortable. :)”
“Loved coordinating with Anna to care for my dog as I went out of town. My doggy sitter cancelled on me last minute and Anna was very accommodating with my urgent request. She made sure to communicate any concerns with me in a timely manner. Would book with her again :-)”
“Ashley & Weston took the best care of our Muffin. We had nothing to worry about and they kept us updated throughout Muffin’s stay! We’ll definitely be rebooking with them.”
“Tim is a great petsitter and my dog love him . He always sent me pictures and answers my questions about my dog . And the most import thing was my dog had a good time with him .”
“Sterling had major issues with anxiety and didn't like being around other animals or men at all before her stay. After her stay with Corey and his dog, she loves all people and plays well with other dogs. Not only was I able to drop her off last minute, but Sterling benefited from her experience here. No complaints!”
“Courtney was an excellent sitter and very pleasant to meet. We met prior to the stay and although Beta was a little wary of her dog, Tito, she was phenomenal in getting them comfortable with each other. Beta has had exposure with many dogs but I was a bit nervous as most parents of how he would handle to anxiety (he has quite a bit at times!) I am so incredibly happy with Courtney's expertise and her sweet pictures that she sent during out trip. She is highly recommended!”
“Is it even possible to say enough good things about Amanda?! She’s overall awesome, always open with communication, and both our dog and cat loved her! She so sweet, as a person and as a babysitter! We will definitely be repeat customers! You should book her too! ❤️”

“Not all petsitters understand cats, but Michael clearly does and enjoys getting to know their individual personalities. He did an outstanding job of maintaining our two cats' normal meal schedule while we were away and giving them the attention they love to get.”
“Ann was so great checking in on Sweets every day while we were gone for the week! She even vacuumed the area surrounding his litter box! Will definitely be booking with Ann again in the future and recommend her to anyone!”
“Sandy took really good care of my cats and did additional things that like cleaning up cat throw up and vacuuming. Her communication with me about what was going on with my cats was outstanding and sent me many pictures so I could see them.”
“Chloe did a fantastic job checking in on my two kitties, Frank and Ozzie. She sent a detailed report of her visit and numerous pictures. The boys seemed to like her a lot! They even got brushed.”
About: I’ve had the joy of taking care of two of the sweetest kitty girls in the world for the last 10+ years and would never provide subpar care for anyone else’s littlest family members. One of my girls has special needs and is very shy while the other has the biggest personality, so diversity is the name of my game!
About: Growing up we were a pet family - included cats, dogs, rats (I know), hamsters, fish, and reptiles. As an adult I have been responsible for caring for the pets of my friends and family. Including "high maintenance dogs, e.g requiring medication 3 times a day, needing an ointment on their skin etc. I have looked after dogs and cats ranging from a few months to end of life care, including those visually impaired. I currently have no pets of my own so am looking forward to devoting my care to your pet. My full-time job is flexible in terms of hours and I can work from home if your pet needs extra attention. This allows for the flexibility for scheduling walks or boarding. I am available most days for all activities depending on the day. I have a pet friendly home in a beautiful area of Midtown so if walks are needed it the best environment. Other pets would need their homes if they require (crate, terrarium etc). I live in a clean, calm, environment that all pets can enjoy.
About: Hi there! I’m Charlie — the heart behind Delta Dog Co., here in Mobile, Alabama. Dogs have been one of my greatest passions for as long as I can remember, and caring for them isn’t just a job for me — it’s a calling. I’ve worked in both kennel and veterinary environments, gaining hands-on experience with dogs of all breeds, ages, and temperaments. Over the years, I’ve developed a deep understanding of canine behavior, training, and communication — especially with working, sporting, and gun dog breeds. I’m trained in canine CPR, experienced in medication administration, and comfortable handling everything from high-energy pups to senior dogs needing gentle care. Whether it’s playtime, structure, or comfort, I tailor each dog’s experience to their unique personality and needs. I currently operate Delta Dog Co. and work as a delivery driver on the side, so I have a flexible schedule built around pet care. I’m available for boarding, daycare, walks, drop-ins, and training throughout the week. Dogs in my care are never left unattended for more than 2-4 hours. Your dog will always have reliable, consistent care and a routine that keeps them happy, safe, and comfortable. Your dog’s safety and comfort are my top priorities. I provide a secure, clean, and relaxed home environment where every dog is treated like family. I have experience working in kennel and veterinary settings, so I know how to handle dogs of all temperaments and ensure their wellbeing at all times. Dogs in my care are always supervised during playtime and outdoor activities, and they’re never left unattended for long periods. I’m trained in canine CPR and skilled at reading body language, managing group dynamics, and preventing stress or conflict before it happens. Whether your dog is here for boarding, daycare, or training, they’ll enjoy a safe, structured, and loving environment that feels like a second home.
About: I'm here to lend a helping hand in caring for your furbabies. Mine are my world! I don't know that I've ever been without pets. I'm that person that stops traffic to help a turtle cross the road. I've saved many strays. We've fostered multiple sets of pups from the local shelters & I have experience with bottle feed babies, both pups & kittens. I have & have had many pets throughout my life & that's where my experience comes from. Dogs of all sizes, young & old. I can give medications if needed. I would love to help you out when you need someone to step in & care for them for a bit. I will treat them as I would my own. I work a full time job M - F, 8:00 - 4:00, but my job is Hybrid, so I work from home 3 days a week. So aside from meetings, I can fit in drop-in visits most anytime. I can also, stop by prior to & after work as well. My schedule is pretty flexible. I have multiple pups & even more cats. I have a fenced in backyard that our babies thoroughly enjoy being able to roam & explore daily. During my visits, I will care for your baby however you've instructed because I know it's beneficial for them to stay on their own schedule. A couple of mine have high anxiety so I fully understand the benefits of staying home & keeping schedules as much as possible. If they don't have a fence & need walks, I will welcome the additional steps.
About: I have had pets my whole entire life. I dog sit for all my neighbors and I have trained all my dogs myself. Dogs are my favorite mostly. My mornings can be spent walking any dog for any distance or late evenings. I can dog sit any day. I do work evenings but I will put your pets needs first. I have most experience in house sitting and dog walking. I prefer to not board at my own house but I am open to house sitting. Dog walks I prefer in the morning.
About: I had a Cocker-Spaniel for 12 years with my wife and just recently got my first puppy last year. Now I am addicted, we have since adopted one and fostered many. My sister is a drug rep for veterinary clinics and I do computer work for a few of them. I have lots of contacts in the field if ever there was an emergency. I work from home most of the time, and usually here all day and night, other than for store runs, or occasional working in office. I have an unfenced yard but live in a great area for walking dogs on leash, there is a park across the street we can run in and play fetch. I have 2 dogs, Charley and Winnie, Charley is a big puppy that loves all other dogs, he is 75 pounds of play, Winnie is more of the mother dog but only weighs 17 pounds, she puts Charley in his place though. They are up to dates on shots and preventative medicines and both are fixed.
“Jordan was an amazing cat sitter and first time experience using Rover! She even came over last minute and checked on one of our babies when we saw him messing with something he shouldn’t be on the cat cam. We have two special needs cats and three cats total and she did a great job spending time with each. Highly recommended.”
“Maegan is amazing! We will definitely be using her again. She completely stole my cats hearts and took excellent care of them. She truly did the above and beyond while we were away during Christmas. Thank you Maegan!”
“Deanna played with my babies and took care of them. She was concerned about their wellbeing and presence. She even got my shy baby to come out and visit. Well done will use again.”

About: I’m an animal lover who’s happiest when I’m outside walking, running, or biking and I love having a furry buddy join me for the adventure. I grew up with four dogs, so barking, potty breaks, and a little (okay, a lot of) dog hair are just part of life for me. From a young age, I learned how to keep pups happy, safe, and entertained, and that’s stuck with me ever since. Your dog’s needs always come first with me whether that’s playtime, snuggles, or just a nice chill nap in the sun. I’ve got a soft spot for every kind of dog, even the grumpy ones, and I’ll never say no to a good cuddle session. At home, I have three super sweet Ragdoll cats who love dogs (seriously - they’re like dogs in cat form). I’ve also got a big fenced-in backyard that’s perfect for running around. Since I work from home, your pup will have company all day and can hang out inside or outside whenever they want. Lots of playtime, lots of love, and lots of tail wags. That’s what I’m all about. I work from home, so I’m around all day which means your pup gets plenty of attention, playtime, and outdoor breaks! Whether it’s a weekday or weekend, I’ve got a pretty flexible schedule and can easily fit in long walks, snuggle breaks, or just some good company while I work. Your dog’s safety always comes first. I’ll never make a decision about your pet without checking in with you first, and I’ll keep you updated with messages, photos, or whatever helps you feel at ease. I treat every pet like they’re my own, and I want you to feel totally comfortable knowing they’re in good hands.
“Great communication. We really appreciate Robin’s care and quick response to texts. Our fur baby was happy when we picked him up so he had a good stay. Highly recommend Robin if you like dedicated care like she provides. See you soon Robin!”

I always make sure pets feel safe, comfortable, loved, and well cared for at all times. I am available weekdays after 2:40 PM and have flexible availability on weekends. I make it a priority to give pets the time, attention, exercise, and care they need while their owners are away. Please note that I am currently unavailable on holidays. I always prioritize the safety, comfort, and well-being of every pet in my care. I create a calm, clean, and loving environment where pets can feel secure and relaxed. I carefully follow each owner’s instructions regarding feeding schedules, routines, medications, walks, and playtime to ensure pets remain comfortable and cared for. I treat every pet with patience, kindness, and the same level of attention I would give my own animals.
About: I've had pets my entire life. I have experience with dogs, cats, snakes, lizards and other small animals. I can administer medicine to friendly animals, and cleanliness, kindness and communication are my priorities. I am currently a full-time online graduate student and am therefore usually very flexible. My daily routine involves taking my child to and from school and sports. For in-home boarding, I have a fenced yard and a separate indoor/outdoor space for my own kitties to remain separate from your pet. Small dogs can enjoy hanging with me and/or playing outside during the day. I'm always up for lap cuddles! I prefer to crate the dog during night-time hours, from about 10pm until 6:30am.

“This was my first time using rover and not gonna lie I was kinda nervous with the idea of leaving cooper with someone I didn’t really know but Jennifer was so nice and communicated amazing from the very beginning. Cooper had the most amazing day and has been asleep since I picked him up, which as a puppy owner many of you can agree is the most amazing time to be a puppy owner lol but over all 10/10 experience.”
“Reich helped us out last minute w some daycare while we were in town for the day. Sent us some pics throughout the day and made it easy for us to enjoy our day knowing the dogs were in good hands. Would recommend him for sure.”
About: 🐾 Welcome to Our Home Away From Home! 🐾 I believe every pet deserves to be treated like family. When your furry friend stays with me, they’ll receive the same love, patience, and attention that I give my own dogs. Building trust with both pets and their owners is the most important part of what I do, and I strive to make every visit safe, fun, and stress-free. I encourage meet-and-greets for new clients whenever possible so we can get to know each other, discuss your pet’s routine, answer any questions, and make sure everyone is comfortable before their stay. Boarding Boarding takes place in my home, where your pet will be part of our daily life not left alone in a kennel. I stay home full-time, so your dog will have plenty of supervision, playtime, potty breaks, cuddles, and companionship throughout the day. I have a fully fenced yard where dogs can safely run, explore, and burn off energy. My own two dogs love making new friends: * Pumpkin is my “teenager who acts like a senior.” She’s laid-back, sweet, and enjoys relaxing just as much as playing. * Molly is a six-month-old puppy with lots of energy who loves to play and make new friends. Whether your pet enjoys zoomies in the yard or curling up for a nap, I’ll do my best to match their comfort level and routine. Personalized Care Every pet is different, and every family has different expectations. I’ll happily follow your feeding schedule, medication instructions, exercise preferences, and any special routines that help your pet feel at home. My goal is to keep their experience as familiar and comfortable as possible while you’re away. You’ll also receive updates and photos, because I know how important it is to know your pet is happy and well cared for. My Experience Animals have always been a huge part of my life. Along with professional experience caring for pets, I grew up helping care for neighborhood pets and family animals. Those experiences taught me that patience, consistency, and genuine love make all the difference. When you book with me, you’re not just finding someone to watch your pet, you’re choosing someone who will welcome them into the family and treat them with the love and care they deserve. I can’t wait to meet you and your furry family member! 🐶❤️ Pet care fits naturally into my daily routine, allowing me to provide consistent attention, walks, feeding, playtime, and plenty of affection.

I have a fully fenced-in yard for safe outdoor play, and my two friendly dogs adore other fur babies and enjoy making new friends. I believe in building trust with both pets and their owners through reliable care, patience, and regular updates. 🐾

I’ve had many pets of my own over the years, so I understand how important it is to give them not just the basics like food and water, but also attention, patience, and affection. Every pet has their own personality, and I enjoy getting to know what makes them feel most at ease.
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!

I spend lots of time in the yard with my children and Dalmatian. There is lots of space, water to play in, toys, and love from the kids. I am mostly available on weekends but have plenty of time in the afternoons during the week. I have a fenced yard with lots of open space, kiddie pools to splash in, and a friendly Dalmatian to keep your dog company. My dog is crate trained and there is space in the home in case your dog prefers their own quiet time and space. I treat my dog like a family member and this will apply to yours as well!
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: I’ve taken care of my family’s, neighbor’s, and friend’s pets since high school. I have experience with small and large dogs, puppies, and elderly dogs. I love animals so much, and have so much love to give as we don’t have a dog of our own right now. I am an active, stay at home mom to two young kids. They are both in school at the same time for two days a week, so I have that time completely free. I am also available some weekends. I am happy to travel to your home to take care of your animals, take them on walks, and give them plenty of love and attention and play time.

About: I have 15 years of experience caring for dogs and truly enjoy spending time with animals of all kinds. I am reliable, patient, and attentive to each pet’s individual needs and personality. Friends, family, and neighbors have trusted me to walk, feed, bathe, and care for their dogs while they were away. I always make sure pets feel safe, comfortable, loved, and well cared for at all times. I am available weekdays after 2:40 PM and have flexible availability on weekends. I make it a priority to give pets the time, attention, exercise, and care they need while their owners are away. Please note that I am currently unavailable on holidays. I always prioritize the safety, comfort, and well-being of every pet in my care. I create a calm, clean, and loving environment where pets can feel secure and relaxed. I carefully follow each owner’s instructions regarding feeding schedules, routines, medications, walks, and playtime to ensure pets remain comfortable and cared for. I treat every pet with patience, kindness, and the same level of attention I would give my own animals.
About: •dog sat for a neighbor every summer growing up for years. (2018-2021) •dog sat and house sat for a family friend for a month. (2026) •owned 2 cats and 1 dog my whole childhood and cared for them I'm currently a student in college, so I'm available all summer and then part time during the school year. During the school year, my classes are pretty spaced out, so I could easily do dog walking in between classes. In my client's home, I will take care of their pet/home according to the instructions the owner leaves! If they have a backyard with a fence, I would watch their dog attentively. And if I were walking a dog, I would try to avoid getting near potential hazards.

“Ann did an amazing job with Rev. She took great care of him, and she watched him longer than I originally requested. She sent me plenty of great photos of my dog as well. She kept me up to date with his care needs. I couldn’t of asked for a better sitter for my best friend.”
“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.”
“We can’t say enough of how great Lauri is and how she is just apart of our family. Bentley just loves her and I have never felt more at ease leaving my big baby with someone as I do her. Lauri had a heart of gold and we are blessed to have found her.”
“This is my second time booking with Callie and she is just as sweet as ever! She is very professional and always takes such good care of my pup. With the pictures and updates Callie sends I can tell that my dog is just having the time of her life there. I couldn’t imagine booking with anyone else!”
“Miss Brenda is wonderful! Bear enjoyed his time with her. She was so sweet and gave him the rubber chicken toy that he liked. We will definitely book with Miss Brenda in the future! She sent us video/picture updates. We loved to see that he was having fun!”
About: I grew up with cats, dogs, turtles, lizards… basically anything I could get away with bringing home. I have been a pet parent to my cats, Maybell for the last 10 years, and Gia for the last 6. They are precious girls that I love dearly, and I have extensive experience with varieties of dog breeds from working at a boarding and grooming facility! I work full time as a physical therapist during the week days and miss getting to have dogs around to love on! As an outdoors fanatic and someone who seeks movement throughout my days, being an add on walker/per sitter in my free time is a dream job of a way to get to be around the pets I love (but can’t currently have due to a skiddish older cat!) and my passion for taking care of others! I am comfortable with medication dispensing due to previously caring for highly medically complex family pets, as well as extensive time working at a boarding and grooming facility which taught me a myriad of tips for caring for easy and more finicky pets all alike!! I can provide and manage crate care, walking, running, and hiking experiences for your pet during a stay but also as happy to couch potato with your pup!
“We’re so thankful to Jennifer for watching our dog Moose during our trip! She was a great communicator and kept us updated with photos. It sounds like my dog and hers became great pals. She made sure to check on his needs so he was comfortable. :)”
“Ashley & Weston took the best care of our Muffin. We had nothing to worry about and they kept us updated throughout Muffin’s stay! We’ll definitely be rebooking with them.”
“Sterling had major issues with anxiety and didn't like being around other animals or men at all before her stay. After her stay with Corey and his dog, she loves all people and plays well with other dogs. Not only was I able to drop her off last minute, but Sterling benefited from her experience here. No complaints!”
“Courtney was an excellent sitter and very pleasant to meet. We met prior to the stay and although Beta was a little wary of her dog, Tito, she was phenomenal in getting them comfortable with each other. Beta has had exposure with many dogs but I was a bit nervous as most parents of how he would handle to anxiety (he has quite a bit at times!) I am so incredibly happy with Courtney's expertise and her sweet pictures that she sent during out trip. She is highly recommended!”
“Is it even possible to say enough good things about Amanda?! She’s overall awesome, always open with communication, and both our dog and cat loved her! She so sweet, as a person and as a babysitter! We will definitely be repeat customers! You should book her too! ❤️”
“Jonah received exceptional care from Julie and her family. He stayed with them for a week in December right before the holiday. I appreciated the photos and attention. She provided specially during this busy time of year. She went above and beyond to transfer my pet to the next boarder. I highly recommend her.”
“Very pleased with our days of boarding our dog with Samantha. Very friendly family, great experience, lots of good communication and pictures. Would highly recommend, and would also reuse this family in the future.”
