“Kaia is great! We boarded our 3 month old baby Schnauzer Leo for 4 days and he was a very happy camper. Kaia responded promptly to all our questions, scheduled a meet a greet before the actual boarding dates and she also stayed in touch with us and sent updates and pictures during the stay. Great experience overall and our pup returned to us happy and healthy.”
“We were looking for someone to make Spirit feel right at home. We feel like we accomplished that with Laura. She and Spirit hit it off right away. We plan on using her many more times in the future.”
“Ryan was a wonderful sitter - my pup Morty loved his stay, including ample play time with sweet Aloo! I received pictures and updates throughout the weekend which left me confident Morty was in great hands. Thank you Ryan and Mehal for treating Morty like family!”
“Katie was absolutely incredible with my dog. She provided daily communication and shared many photos of our dogs having a great time together. It was clear my dog felt comfortable, loved, and completely at home in her care. I’m so grateful to have found such a kind and reliable sitter—highly recommend her to anyone looking for exceptional pet care!”
“Leif and Dani were the best. They took very good care of our pup and kept us updated with photos throughout the stay. Very communicative. Would definitely recommend them to anyone looking for a rover in the area!”
“Our 3 dogs were in the best hands ever with Autumn. She was so kind, conscientious and knowledgeable about pet care. She also sent photos and updates which were so nice to receive. I would 100% recommend Autumn as an excellent, reliable pet sitter!”
“I had a great experience with Dominik boarding my two dogs. What stood out the most was that he was willing to take them in at the last minute, which helped me out tremendously and truly meant a lot. From the beginning, Dominik was professional, responsive, and made me feel comfortable leaving my dogs in his care. You can tell he genuinely cares about animals and wants to make sure they feel comfortable. My dogs were well taken care of, and I appreciated knowing they were in good hands while I was away. Finding someone dependable to trust with your pets is not always easy, but I would absolutely recommend Dominik to anyone looking for reliable and caring boarding services.”
“We needed someone to watch a very active 1.5yr old Brittany, and we are really picky about who watches our animals. Sandra was recommended and boarding with her and Mark was the best experience ever. Missy’s stay with them was literally a doggy vacation with a Giant yard to play in, long walks, huge professional kennel for her to lounge in, and, picture/video updates every day! They even have a TV in the temperature controlled kennel space so our girl could listen to tv like she is used to at our house. I look forward to using them again. They are a bit of a drive for me but I will use them every time over trying any of the 15 closer results rover showed me. It is well worth the peace of mind knowing that your dogs are being pampered not just boarded.”
“Had an awesome stay with Lee yet again! Silas ran into their house so happy when I dropped him off. They took him on car rides and seemed to really welcome him into their home! 100% would book again!”
“Mrs Catherine is the best person that took care of my golden doodle and this’s priceless to me. I really love that she was sending pictures and videos every single day and updating me on how Karol was doing. Please Do not hesitate to contact her for the care of your pet, as she will provide excellent care.She’ll be my dog sitter on our upcoming vacations.”
“Kimmey is absolutely amazing! I was nervous with this being my first time away from my dog, but Kimmey made it easy to enjoy my time away with family knowing that my dog was receiving the best care. She frequently sent updates on how my dog was doing and took care to pay attention to my dog's individual enrichment interests and needs. My dog had a blast and she misses Kimmey and her wonderful family already! I highly recommend booking with her!”
About: I'm an Animal Sciences graduate and incoming Auburn veterinary student with experience caring for a wide variety of animals. My background includes working as a veterinary assistant and kennel technician, fostering cats, volunteering with animal rescues, and more. Through these experiences, I've gained skills in administering medications, caring for senior pets, recognizing signs of illness, and providing compassionate, individualized care. I am comfortable caring for animals with a wide range of personalities, medical needs, and activity levels, and I treat every pet as if they were my own, prioritizing their safety, comfort, and happiness at all times. Caring for animals has been a regular part of my life for years through fostering, veterinary medicine, volunteer work, and my own pets. I am able to incorporate pet care into my daily routine and make sure each pet receives reliable, attentive care, plenty of affection, and any specialized care they may need. Pets in my care are treated like members of the family. I provide a safe, clean, and comfortable environment where pets can relax and maintain their normal routines as much as possible.

About: Hi there! My name is Natasha and I would love to spoil your dog! From malteses to rottweilers I have had many dogs as a young'un; all with very different personalities. I've dog sat for Rover clients, friends and employers (on farms and in the city). My apartment has been a revolving door for amazing pooches. My dog care style is "play, pass out, repeat". Big or small, I'm very good at tuckering dogs out. I grew up with rottweilers and have a penchant for adorable pitbulls so I do not shy away from large breeds as long as your dog is trained. I took a short break from Rover but I've still been sitting beautiful pups and I look forward to taking care of yours! Two day mininum for new dog sitting cients. I work freelance so I am able to give your pup (s) lot's of love! Occassionally I will have to leave the house for two to four hours at a time so if your pup needs constant hourly care, I may not be the right match. I respect the pet parent's rules. If the dog is not allowed on the couch, they won't be on the couch. If you need the toilet seat down because they like to drink the water, no problem! Dogs need structure and I do not plan on breaking it (unless it's more play on behalf of the parent, of course).

“Brian, his wife, and his home are the perfect place to board your dog. My dog Cali has felt right at home and couldn't be any more spoiled. The attention, energy, and love she recieved while staying with them couldn't have been more perfect. Their house was immaculate, the yard, and location is perfect. Brian is easy to communicate with and responsive and very flexible. I was going out of town for work and needed a place for my dog and wasn't sure how long I'd be gone. They were helpful and extending was easy. If you're looking for a loving home away from home you don't need to look any farther.”
“Carter accommodated our last minute request and had the perfect set up for our dog. They were responsive and seemed to treat our dog as their own. We look forward to having him and his wife help us in the future!”
About: I grew up training puppy’s and always having a dog/cat in the home. I am a loving dog sitter and will give your dog the care they need! I am an early riser and love to go on walks so your furry friend will get great exercise!! I like schedules and routines, and my house is always very clean! I do not have any animas so there is no issue worrying if they will get along! I live in an apartment right next to a park!
About: I have always loved animals. I started walking my neighbors dog when I was 15. I have dog sat for many ranging from family, friends, neighbors, and mutuals. I am a recent Auburn grad and do not currently have a full time job. Not many jobs offer me a flexible schedule like this does and I am trying to save money and keep my self busy post-grad. I am always available unless otherwise noted on my calendar. I do not have a dog in Auburn, only when I travel to Foley to stay with family is there a dog in the house. I will abide by the owners preferences but I don’t promise I won’t fall in love with your dog. I love all shapes and sizes of dogs and will take care of them as they are my own. I will give your dog as much attention as he or she wants.

“Linda was absolutely amazing with our five cats while we were on vacation for a week. She took care of them twice a day and provided updates for us each time. We love that she scooped their litter and played with them each time she visited. We also loved all of the photos she sent us of her loving on them and playing with them! She even left us the sweetest card. We will definitely book her again for our next vacation!”
“Allison was FANTASTIC! She was consistent with the check ins and sending pics through the Rover report card. Allison went above and beyond, scooping the cat boxes and ensuring water and food bowls were filled. Communication was great! We will definitely reach out to book Allison in the future.”
“So thankful we found Sam! We have one kitty that needs medication every 12 hours so this is always a concern for us. Sam was very comfortable with our cats, was prompt about the 12 hour timeline and gave us full reports afterwards. She was willing to play with the cats when the weather precluded them to go outside. Overall, all parties were very happy; look forward to having Sam watch the kitties again”
“Kaitlyn was awesome! She provided detailed updates after every visit and continued to communicate with me throughout my entire trip. I would definitely book with her again!”
“Diane did a wonderful job taking care of Cecilia. When she came for the meet and greet, she brought a notebook, asked questions, and got to know Cecilia. While I was away, she sent pictures and detailed stories of their time together. She obviously has a love for animals, and that comes through in her attention and performance. I will certainly be using her again!”
About: I have experience caring for cats through fostering and veterinary medicine. I have cared for cats of all ages and needs, including pregnant cats, newborn kittens, orphaned kittens, senior cats, and sick or recovering cats. I also have experience as a kennel technician and veterinary assistant, which further strengthened my skills in feline handling. Through these experiences, I have become adept in recognizing signs of illness, administering medications, and ensuring cats remain comfortable and stress-free. I am comfortable caring for cats with a wide range of personalities, medical needs, and activity levels, and I treat every cat as if they were my own!
“Kailyn was awesome! She was very attentive and loving with my two cats. She sent pictures every day and was very prompt and thorough. She was easy to work with and responded quickly to every message. I will definitely be using her again. Highly recommend.”
About: I have extensive experience working with cats through both animal welfare and veterinary clinic settings, and I’ve fostered hundreds of cats ranging from 3-week-old kittens to 19-year-old seniors. I’m comfortable with all types of feline personalities, from social and playful to shy, fearful, or more independent cats. I also have hands-on experience with more specialized care, including syringe feeding and feeding tubes, as well as administering medications and monitoring for signs of stress or illness. I understand how important a calm, low-stress environment is for cats, especially in new situations. In my home, I can set cats up in a quiet, separate bedroom where they can safely decompress and adjust at their own pace. I’m patient, detail-oriented, and focused on making sure your cat feels safe, comfortable, and well cared for while you’re away.

About: In my opinion, dogs are the purest form of love. I've owned a dog for the past 15 years, and I honestly couldn't imagine my life without her. I spend most of my free time in the yard reading while Ruby explores the fenced-in area. We also enjoy being lazy inside. I do not have kids, so I treat my dog like my child. As a teacher, I’m on summer break from June 2 through July 17! When school is in session, my work day ends around 4 and then I'm free after that. I normally take my dog for a walk before work (between 6:30-7:30) and in the evening anytime between 4:30-9:00. I am available throughout the week and on weekends. I love animals, and I love caring for them. I promise to treat your animal like my own. I am currently on summer break and home every day!! I work full time from 7:30-4:30 every weekday. When I get home from work, my evenings are free and open to providing time for pets. I have a small fenced-in backyard. We live in a townhome that is within a quiet and safe neighborhood. There is a park nearby that is great for walking dogs.

About: I have cared for animals my whole life. I've taken care of them when abandoned by the mother, sick, or disabled. I have experience doing basic training. My own pets pile on me the second I sit down. I've never had a pet pass the rainbow bridge before the age of ten. I love animals so much and I will love yours too! **** I like to send many pictures and updates. Please do not feel obligated to reply to each one. Dont worry, I know you are busy**** Taking care of animals is all I want to do. I am a stay-at-home mom and my youngest is 16. I have plenty of time on my hands and love. I have fully fenced yard in a safe neighborhood. I have a pug of my own who doesn't mind other animals. I usually keep him in the bedroom for the first couple hours. I have two inside/outside cats who are also very friendly to people and animals. If I am sitting cats and dogs together, I will usually keep the two separate. Cats upstairs and dogs downstairs. Don't worry about attention. There is plenty to go around! If I'm caring for your babies at your house, I will follow the rules you provide.

About: Our entire family loves to care for animals! I personally have been a responsible pet sitter for over 25 years. While we currently are a pet free home, we have been thankful to have owned and cared for a black lab, yorkie poo (lived until 15), two German Shepards (currently guard dogs in Haiti), rabbits and many goats. While your pet is with me you will receive multiple updates and feel secure in the fact that they are being loved and taken care of just as you would! I would love the privilege to care for your beloved dog while you are away! I am a stay at home homeschool mom and have the ability to care for your animal all day. It is so fun to incorporate dog walks and playtime with your animals in my daily schedule. I can easily crate your fur baby, or they can sleep in a comfy dog bed. We have a large yard, with a small portion fenced. Since we are a homeschool family, we spend a lot of time out doors and I love to take dogs for walks and let them join us outside if that is what your fur baby enjoys. If you need help with drop in services at your own home, I can arrange those services to meet your dogs needs.

Lauren has been extraordinarily kind and communicative ever since the initial booking this past weekend to the conclusion of the doggie daycare experience tonight, and I so appreciate it!

I would absolutely love to work with Lauren & Hunter again, and would certainly recommend them to anyone else!! Thanks again :)”

“This is the right person for your pup — Tori was amazing with Salle. I only needed a sitter for a few hours while I went into the archives for a research trip and she stepped up, was caring, asked the right questions (pre vet student) and fun (throw in a pup cup). Sal didn’t hesitate to hang with her and cried a little when she left- wouldn’t hesitate to leave my dog with her again!”
“Wow! My 4-legged boys LOVED their visit with Ashley. She pampered them with attention, walks and Scooby snacks. Ashley is a true animal lover - warm, ebullient and so wonderful about keeping in touch with photos and videos. Highly recommend and will use her A+ doggie daycare again.”

About: We recently had to say goodbye to our elderly dog and while we aren't ready to find a new four-legged friend we want to take care of yours! We have had multiple dogs throughout our lives and have taken care of lots of dogs of all kinds for our friends. My wife and I own Heritage House, a boutique bed & breakfast and event venue in Opelika. We live on site in a separate, private residence. This is our full time job so at least one of us would pretty much always be around while hosting your dog. Our living space is on a second floor so your dog must be able to navigate stairs OR be a small enough dog that we can easily carry them up and down safely. We have a small fenced section of the property for letting your dog out on short breaks and would also be taking lots of walks, as needed, around our very safe neighborhood. We are flexible based on your dog's needs and could do crating if necessary, but we prefer to let well behaved, house trained pups run free in the house.

About: I’ve taken care of dogs since I was 12. I worked for a plantation and fed/watered/cleaned the resident hunting dogs. In addition, I have three dogs (2 medium-size dogs and 1 small dog) and four cats that I have cared for over the years. I am comfortable with feeding/walking/bathing any of your pets and catering to their needs! I have a part-time job and am a full-time college student, so I am mainly available for weekends and overnight stays with me. I will accommodate your pet into my schedule to make them as comfortable as possible. I have a fenced in yard and three dogs that are lovely with other animals. I also have cats in my home as well. Your pet will be treated as if they were my own with the utmost care and comfort.
About: Over the past 15 years, I have cared for both small and large dogs (baby, young, adult and elderly) and have been with Rover since 2018. I have done overnight stays with 1-2 dogs at a time, as well as housing a golden retriever in my home and caring for him for two weeks while his owners were on vacation. I am very active and would enjoy walking or running with your dog, tossing a ball or playing fetch. I am also outgoing and love animals (especially dogs!!!) and want your dog to enjoy his/her time with me as much as I enjoy my time with them! I am also happy to do drop in visits, and can document the process on video so you know your dog and home are safe! I’m currently working full time during the week, but come home for an hour at lunch. Weekends are free and I spend lots of time playing with my (and your) pup! There is a fenced in dog park at my apartment complex and also a great walking trail. My dog loves all other pups and they will be sure to have the best time together!
About: I’ve grown up with two dogs and have lived with both a small and a big dog. I’ve dog sat for my neighbors growing up. I’ve watch all kinds of dogs and have no problems with watching more than one dog in a household. I also have experience with both young and old dogs, so I know the different attentions each type needs. I am currently taking a summer class at Auburn University and I would love to spend my time watching a dog when not in my class. Over the summer I will be in Auburn taking one class at 8am on Mondays, Wednesdays, and Fridays. Outside of that I will be free to watch dogs. I’ve had two dogs growing up, one was always super active and loved walks the other loved belly rubs and staying in doors. I’m good with either type of dog. I’ve also dog sat for many different breeds of dogs so I’m good with all types.
About: I have a ten year old German Shorthaired Pointer who’s very energetic and loves to play! I love talking dogs on walks and getting to play with them! I currently have a job during the day, however the schedule is not the same every week, and I do go multiple days without working sometimes. When I’m in your home I will make sure that your pets are safe, healthy, and happy! Spending time with an animal while the owners are gone is very important to me!
About: I have taken care of dogs since for around 8 years. I started before I could drive and I would walk over to my neighbors house and feed/ play with their dogs while they were out of town. I have still continued to dog sit every once in a while when I am needed. I am a college student at Auburn University. I am also from Opelika so everyone that I have been dog sitting for in high school, I am still able to help out today. My schedule for next semester is very open and not too busy. I am also available over summer as well. I do have a goldendoodle at my parents house. She is 5 years old and loves playing with other dogs. I also have a car so I will be able to come to my clients house to take care their furry friends for as long as I am needed. Currently I live in a townhouse and would love to take care of your pets here!

“Kaia is great! We boarded our 3 month old baby Schnauzer Leo for 4 days and he was a very happy camper. Kaia responded promptly to all our questions, scheduled a meet a greet before the actual boarding dates and she also stayed in touch with us and sent updates and pictures during the stay. Great experience overall and our pup returned to us happy and healthy.”
“We were looking for someone to make Spirit feel right at home. We feel like we accomplished that with Laura. She and Spirit hit it off right away. We plan on using her many more times in the future.”
“Katie was absolutely incredible with my dog. She provided daily communication and shared many photos of our dogs having a great time together. It was clear my dog felt comfortable, loved, and completely at home in her care. I’m so grateful to have found such a kind and reliable sitter—highly recommend her to anyone looking for exceptional pet care!”
“Leif and Dani were the best. They took very good care of our pup and kept us updated with photos throughout the stay. Very communicative. Would definitely recommend them to anyone looking for a rover in the area!”
“Our 3 dogs were in the best hands ever with Autumn. She was so kind, conscientious and knowledgeable about pet care. She also sent photos and updates which were so nice to receive. I would 100% recommend Autumn as an excellent, reliable pet sitter!”
“We needed someone to watch a very active 1.5yr old Brittany, and we are really picky about who watches our animals. Sandra was recommended and boarding with her and Mark was the best experience ever. Missy’s stay with them was literally a doggy vacation with a Giant yard to play in, long walks, huge professional kennel for her to lounge in, and, picture/video updates every day! They even have a TV in the temperature controlled kennel space so our girl could listen to tv like she is used to at our house. I look forward to using them again. They are a bit of a drive for me but I will use them every time over trying any of the 15 closer results rover showed me. It is well worth the peace of mind knowing that your dogs are being pampered not just boarded.”
“Had an awesome stay with Lee yet again! Silas ran into their house so happy when I dropped him off. They took him on car rides and seemed to really welcome him into their home! 100% would book again!”
About: I'm an Animal Sciences graduate and incoming Auburn veterinary student with experience caring for a wide variety of animals. My background includes working as a veterinary assistant and kennel technician, fostering cats, volunteering with animal rescues, and more. Through these experiences, I've gained skills in administering medications, caring for senior pets, recognizing signs of illness, and providing compassionate, individualized care. I am comfortable caring for animals with a wide range of personalities, medical needs, and activity levels, and I treat every pet as if they were my own, prioritizing their safety, comfort, and happiness at all times. Caring for animals has been a regular part of my life for years through fostering, veterinary medicine, volunteer work, and my own pets. I am able to incorporate pet care into my daily routine and make sure each pet receives reliable, attentive care, plenty of affection, and any specialized care they may need. Pets in my care are treated like members of the family. I provide a safe, clean, and comfortable environment where pets can relax and maintain their normal routines as much as possible. I closely monitor behavior, appetite, and activity levels and am comfortable administering medications if needed. I ensure pets always have access to fresh water, regular potty breaks, exercise, and plenty of attention and affection.
About: Hi there! My name is Natasha and I would love to spoil your dog! From malteses to rottweilers I have had many dogs as a young'un; all with very different personalities. I've dog sat for Rover clients, friends and employers (on farms and in the city). My apartment has been a revolving door for amazing pooches. My dog care style is "play, pass out, repeat". Big or small, I'm very good at tuckering dogs out. I grew up with rottweilers and have a penchant for adorable pitbulls so I do not shy away from large breeds as long as your dog is trained. I took a short break from Rover but I've still been sitting beautiful pups and I look forward to taking care of yours! Two day mininum for new dog sitting cients. I work freelance so I am able to give your pup (s) lot's of love! Occassionally I will have to leave the house for two to four hours at a time so if your pup needs constant hourly care, I may not be the right match. I respect the pet parent's rules. If the dog is not allowed on the couch, they won't be on the couch. If you need the toilet seat down because they like to drink the water, no problem! Dogs need structure and I do not plan on breaking it (unless it's more play on behalf of the parent, of course).

“Brian, his wife, and his home are the perfect place to board your dog. My dog Cali has felt right at home and couldn't be any more spoiled. The attention, energy, and love she recieved while staying with them couldn't have been more perfect. Their house was immaculate, the yard, and location is perfect. Brian is easy to communicate with and responsive and very flexible. I was going out of town for work and needed a place for my dog and wasn't sure how long I'd be gone. They were helpful and extending was easy. If you're looking for a loving home away from home you don't need to look any farther.”
“Carter accommodated our last minute request and had the perfect set up for our dog. They were responsive and seemed to treat our dog as their own. We look forward to having him and his wife help us in the future!”
About: I grew up training puppy’s and always having a dog/cat in the home. I am a loving dog sitter and will give your dog the care they need! I am an early riser and love to go on walks so your furry friend will get great exercise!! I like schedules and routines, and my house is always very clean! I do not have any animas so there is no issue worrying if they will get along! I live in an apartment right next to a park!
About: I have always loved animals. I started walking my neighbors dog when I was 15. I have dog sat for many ranging from family, friends, neighbors, and mutuals. I am a recent Auburn grad and do not currently have a full time job. Not many jobs offer me a flexible schedule like this does and I am trying to save money and keep my self busy post-grad. I am always available unless otherwise noted on my calendar. I do not have a dog in Auburn, only when I travel to Foley to stay with family is there a dog in the house. I will abide by the owners preferences but I don’t promise I won’t fall in love with your dog. I love all shapes and sizes of dogs and will take care of them as they are my own. I will give your dog as much attention as he or she wants.
“Jennifer and her family took excellent care of my dog while I was away. She provided status updates along with pictures which made me feel good about how my boy was doing. I would absolutely recommend her to anyone looking for a dog sitter and plan on reaching out to her again in the future!”
“Heather was absolutely wonderful. I received photos daily and my doggy looked so happy and filled with love and energy. I will be using her again in the future. Her home is a wonderful place for a doggy vacation !!”
