“Kaia & Desean were perfect for Tucker! Their property really does lend itself to boarding for dogs with wide open spaces for them to play in and company of their own pets too! They also hold the same values and expectations that we do in terms of his behavior, so felt truly comfortable that his training was continued as we hoped in our absence. Would definitely recommend them!”
“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 took excellent care of our dog and we couldn’t have asked for a better experience. She had so much fun playing with his dog during her stay. Ryan was great about communicating and sent photos, which really reassured us that she was happy and well cared for. We especially appreciated that he took the time to do a meet-and-greet beforehand. It gave us confidence that our dogs would get along well and allowed us to see firsthand how kind Ryan is and how much he genuinely loves dogs. He was also great about coordinating drop off and pick up at convenient times. We felt completely comfortable leaving our dog with him and will be repeat customers!”
“Katherine did an amazing job watching my rescue Doberman. Was unsure about Kane with kids but she did an amazing job keeping them on a routine for zero interaction and kept me 100% updated on anything that was going. She is a wonderful dog mom and mom and will keep your baby’s safe during their stay. She will be my number one pick for future vacations.”
“Great experience! Our dogs were well cared for, and we appreciated the photos, updates, and the wonderful interaction with them. Thank you for taking such good care of our pets!”
“I was so happy that I chose Annie for my lab’s stay. Her kids enjoyed fetching and I got video updates throughout the weekend. They also live in a nice neighborhood with a big backyard. If anyone is in need of pet sitting this is a great place and your dog will get excellent care!”
“Leaving Cooper for a full week over the Fourth of July was a big deal for me, but from the very beginning I knew he was in great hands. Kristen welcomed him into her home like he was part of the family and kept me updated every day with photos and messages, which gave me so much peace of mind. The best part was seeing how happy and relaxed Cooper was when I picked him up. It was obvious he had been well cared for, loved, and made to feel at home. I never had to worry while I was away, and that is priceless. I would absolutely trust her with Cooper again and highly recommend her to anyone looking for a caring, reliable pet sitter. Thank you for taking such wonderful care of him!”
“Our dog LOVED her time with Sandra and Mark. She normally takes a little time to warm up to new people and things, but she was instantly at home with them. She loved running around their yard and sitting in a little pool and sun tent that they offered her. They had excellent communication and sent us so many pictures. It’s so reassuring knowing your pup is in good hands when you’re away from them. We’d recommend them to anyone and would love to use them again in the future!”
“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!”
“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!”
“⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ Ms. Catherine was absolutely wonderful with Francois and Girbaud! From the moment we met her, I could tell she had a genuine love for animals and a calm, nurturing spirit that immediately put the boys at ease. She went above and beyond every step of the way—sending adorable photo updates, keeping me informed, and making sure they were comfortable, entertained, and well cared for the entire time. When I got home, both dogs were happy, relaxed, and delightfully tired—which to any dog parent means they had a great time! It’s clear she gave them plenty of exercise, play, and affection. Ms. Catherine treated them as if they were her own, and I truly appreciate her kindness, patience, and reliability. I can’t recommend her enough. If you’re looking for someone who’s attentive, trustworthy, and genuinely loves what she does, Ms. Catherine is the one. Francois, Girbaud, and I are so grateful to have found her! 🐾❤️”
“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.”
“Allison and her husband are great!! I am so thankful I found them. Every time I take my dogs to her they run up to the house and are so excited to be there. They send updates and pictures throughout the stay and I love it! They always look so relaxed and happy!!”
“Korol was an amazing sitter for our senior dog. She walked and played with our dog every day and it was clear that she gave our girl lots of love. It was the first time our dog seemed to really enjoy staying with a sitter. 5 stars!”
“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.”
“Heather was so easy to work with and so accommodating for my big, high energy girl. She gave me such peace leaving my baby with her while working a 24 hour shift and constantly updated me on how she was doing. Her yard is huge and fenced in as well which is exactly what my girl needs. I cannot recommend her enough!”

“Anthony went above and beyond for my dog while I was away. He made sure to get him good exercise in while doing drop in visits and my dog was very happy to see him every time. 10/10”
“Kailyn did such a fantastic job watching my little Coco! My cat is very energetic and needs a lot of attention. Kailyn played with her and gave her so much love during every visit. She always sent me updates and was great at communicating. I already have her booked to watch Coco again in October and November!”
“Abby has cared for my kitties multiple times. She always sends me report cards with pictures so I know they are doing well, and I come home to a nice clean house with happy kitties!”
“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: 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 had experience with dogs since I was 8 starting with my first ever dog Cupcake. Since then I have taken care of dogs of all sizes for neighbors and friends. I am very good with senior dogs, and energetic puppies alike! I love to learn how each dog’s personality shines. I am currently taking online college courses for the summer. My classes being online gives me a lot of flexibility in my schedule, so I am willing to work out times with people on an individual basis! I take a lot of care to be respectful of people’s homes when caring for their animals. I fulfill each task the pet needs with care and give each pet the time and attention they need.
About: I’ve taken care of animals since I was 8 years old. Specifically, cats and dogs. I have lots of experience with larger dogs like German Shepards and pit bulls as well as smaller dogs like Boston terriers. I am a graduate student at Auburn and I work from home a few days a week. I live near the university which is convenient. I love playing with dogs and cats and giving them the playtime and attention that they need. I grew up with very hyperactive animals so I would love to pet sit or walk your dog!
About: I have grown up with dogs my entire life — all 24 years of it. From the moment I was old enough to pick up a food bowl, I was right there helping to care for them. That means over two decades of feeding, walking, playing, and loving dogs of all shapes and sizes. For me, caring for dogs isn’t just a job — it’s second nature. During the day I work, but I have the flexibility to step away and check in on any pets in my care. Evenings are generally when I’m most available, so your pet will have plenty of attention and company after hours. I treat every pet in my care like they’re my own family dog. Your pet won’t just be looked after — they’ll be loved, spoiled, and made to feel right at home.
About: I’ve been caring for dogs since I was around 10 years old, when my family welcomed our first dog. Growing up with dogs gave me years of hands-on experience with feeding, walking, playtime, cleaning up after them, and making sure they were happy, healthy, and well cared for. When we later brought home a puppy, I took on much of the responsibility for raising and caring for it. The puppy stayed with me in my room, so I was responsible for feeding, supervising, helping with potty training, keeping a consistent routine, and making sure it felt safe and comfortable as it grew. I also enjoyed teaching both of our dogs basic commands and fun tricks using patience, consistency, and positive reinforcement. Through these experiences, I learned that every dog has a unique personality, and I always take the time to understand what helps them feel comfortable and secure. I’m a dependable, patient, and attentive caregiver who genuinely loves spending time with dogs. Whether your pup enjoys long walks, playing fetch, learning new tricks, or simply relaxing with company, I’ll make sure they receive plenty of attention, affection, exercise, and care. I understand how important it is to trust someone with your pet, and I’ll treat your dog with the same love, respect, and care that I give my own. At the moment, I’m available on Mondays, Tuesdays, and Wednesdays during the morning and early afternoon for drop-in visits, walks, or playtime. I’d love to spend quality time with your pup while making sure they receive the care, attention, and exercise they need! Your dog’s safety, comfort, and happiness are always my top priorities. I understand that every dog has their own personality, routine, and needs, so I’ll take the time to follow your care instructions closely and make sure they feel comfortable while you’re away.
About: I’ve been taking care and looking after dogs as long as I can remember! I’ve had friends and family rely on me to care for their fur babies! I always make sure they are comfortable and well entertained to the point they enjoy their experience! Every fur baby is cared with intention. I’m currently working part time, so I’ll have plenty availability for the pups!! I’m available for boarding during the weekend and weekdays! I currently live in an apartment! All pets will need a crate! I also have a lovely fur baby to keep company with your fur baby!!
“Ryan is wonderful and patient with my young and energetic dog Finn! Finn gets so excited when Ryan arrives for their early evening 30 minute walk adventure. Ryan is very dependable and communicates, if needed, in a timely manner. After 3 weeks of walks, I fully trust Ryan with my dog. Finn comes home very happy with his walk!”
About: Animals have always been a huge part of my life, and caring for them is something I genuinely love. I have hands-on experience working as a veterinary assistant, where I safely handled dogs and cats of all sizes, administered medications and vaccines under veterinary supervision, monitored pets during recovery, and learned to recognize signs of illness or distress. I'm also experienced with senior pets, puppies and kittens, and pets that need a little extra patience or special care. Whether your pet needs an energetic walking buddy, someone to stick to a medication schedule, or simply lots of love and attention while you're away, I'll treat them like one of my own. I know how important trust is when leaving your pet with someone, and my goal is always to provide safe, reliable, and compassionate care while keeping you updated with plenty of photos and messages. I'm currently taking a gap year before beginning my bachelor's degree in Wildlife Ecology Management at Auburn University. This gives me a flexible schedule, allowing me to provide dependable pet care throughout the week. My availability may vary slightly from day to day, but I keep my calendar up to date and always communicate clearly. Whether your pet needs a walk, a drop-in visit, or extra attention while you're away, I'm committed to providing reliable, compassionate care. Your pet's safety, comfort, and routine are my top priorities. With my experience as a veterinary assistant, I'm comfortable caring for dogs and cats of all ages, sizes, and personalities, including seniors and pets that require medication. During every visit, I'll make sure your pet has fresh food and water, plenty of exercise or playtime, bathroom breaks, and lots of love and attention. I always respect your home, follow your care instructions closely, and provide regular updates with photos so you can have peace of mind while you're away. My goal is to make your pet feel safe, comfortable, and cared for until you return!
About: I’ve taken care of dogs half of my life. My great grand dad taught me everything about dogs and he trained them while I was his student. I have sat with dogs often mostly when veterans get sick and I care for their fur babies. I also have 4 dogs of my own 3 boxers and one terrier. I will walk them bath them feed them and play with them. I’m a retired vet I have plenty of time on my hand unless it’s a doctor appoint I have to go to! I’m ready for your pups! I will come to client house and feed them walk them play with them and whatever my clients ask of me to do. I follow every detail that’s given
“Thank you, Laura for taking such great care of Coco our 13 year old Shi Tzu and for keeping us in touch by sending pictures of her during your stay. Knowing she was well cared for, made our Anniversary trip all that more special. Thanks again and Merry Christmas!”
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!
“Abby was working with us pre-COVID lockdown and was super professional, on time, and very attentive. Once our entire family went to work and learn from home, we cancelled services with Abby. Fast forward 9 months and we were hoping to get away for a last minute ski trip on New Year’s Day, but didn’t want to leave the dogs crated for so long, so I reached back out to Abby and with less than 24 hours notice, she made herself available to take care of the pups. She stopped by twice and gave us great updates while we were on the mountain. We couldn’t be more pleased with Abby. Highly recommend!!”

“Kaia & Desean were perfect for Tucker! Their property really does lend itself to boarding for dogs with wide open spaces for them to play in and company of their own pets too! They also hold the same values and expectations that we do in terms of his behavior, so felt truly comfortable that his training was continued as we hoped in our absence. Would definitely recommend them!”
“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.”
“Katherine did an amazing job watching my rescue Doberman. Was unsure about Kane with kids but she did an amazing job keeping them on a routine for zero interaction and kept me 100% updated on anything that was going. She is a wonderful dog mom and mom and will keep your baby’s safe during their stay. She will be my number one pick for future vacations.”
“Great experience! Our dogs were well cared for, and we appreciated the photos, updates, and the wonderful interaction with them. Thank you for taking such good care of our pets!”
“I was so happy that I chose Annie for my lab’s stay. Her kids enjoyed fetching and I got video updates throughout the weekend. They also live in a nice neighborhood with a big backyard. If anyone is in need of pet sitting this is a great place and your dog will get excellent care!”
“Leaving Cooper for a full week over the Fourth of July was a big deal for me, but from the very beginning I knew he was in great hands. Kristen welcomed him into her home like he was part of the family and kept me updated every day with photos and messages, which gave me so much peace of mind. The best part was seeing how happy and relaxed Cooper was when I picked him up. It was obvious he had been well cared for, loved, and made to feel at home. I never had to worry while I was away, and that is priceless. I would absolutely trust her with Cooper again and highly recommend her to anyone looking for a caring, reliable pet sitter. Thank you for taking such wonderful care of him!”
“Our dog LOVED her time with Sandra and Mark. She normally takes a little time to warm up to new people and things, but she was instantly at home with them. She loved running around their yard and sitting in a little pool and sun tent that they offered her. They had excellent communication and sent us so many pictures. It’s so reassuring knowing your pup is in good hands when you’re away from them. We’d recommend them to anyone and would love to use them again in the future!”
“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!”
“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.”
“Allison and her husband are great!! I am so thankful I found them. Every time I take my dogs to her they run up to the house and are so excited to be there. They send updates and pictures throughout the stay and I love it! They always look so relaxed and happy!!”
“Korol was an amazing sitter for our senior dog. She walked and played with our dog every day and it was clear that she gave our girl lots of love. It was the first time our dog seemed to really enjoy staying with a sitter. 5 stars!”
“Heather was so easy to work with and so accommodating for my big, high energy girl. She gave me such peace leaving my baby with her while working a 24 hour shift and constantly updated me on how she was doing. Her yard is huge and fenced in as well which is exactly what my girl needs. I cannot recommend her enough!”
About: I've been a trusted pet caregiver since I was 10, with experience in walking, feeding, and bathing dogs of all breeds. As a pre-vet major, who works at a veterinary clinic, I bring additional knowledge and understanding of animal health to my pet care services. Neighbors, friends, and family rely on me for their pet care needs, and I'm committed to providing a safe, loving, and fun environment for your furry friends. I am currently a college student so I have a flexible schedule and am free most weekends! I would love to take care of your pet! In my apartment, I provide a safe and comfortable environment with plenty of toys, a cozy bed, and constant access to fresh water. I follow a consistent feeding schedule and ensure regular bathroom breaks. I'm attentive to their needs, offering plenty of cuddles, playtime, and positive reinforcement. I also maintain a clean and sanitary environment to prevent the spread of germs. In a client's home, I strictly adhere to their instructions and routines. I respect their space and belongings, ensuring everything is left as I found it. I provide the same level of care and attention as I do in my own home, maintaining a safe, clean, and loving environment for their pets.
About: I’ve had a variety of animals growing up. There was never a time in my household where i did not have a pet. I am great with animals, they seem to love me as much as I do them! I attend Auburn university. I usually have 1-3 classes a day, but I am done by 12pm. I am available between 12-6! What better way to spend my free time! I have a strong love for animals. I am very passionate about them. If i were to watch your fur baby, I would play with them, make sure they eat well, take them out for fresh air! I even turn on cartoons that they can see the colors with!
“Mary Michelle was the absolute BEST! She sent multiple photo updates every day full of walks, snuggles, and playtime. I have a 5 month old puppy and was nervous about leaving her, but she was happy, calm, and brushed and clean when I picked her up!”
“I would recommend highly! Great communication and loved all the pictures!! She watched my beloved doggo for 9 days and I almost think she (my pup) didn’t want to leave since she had such an amazing time!!”
“We left Katie for over two weeks with Jennifer and her sweet family. They were amazing and gave our very spoiled Doodle lots of love and attention. We feel very comfortable leaving our girl for such a long time with this wonderful family and would highly recommend.”
“Carter has watched Sammy many times and as always, our girl is so happy staying with him! We've traveled on nearly week-long trips and feel confident that Sammy is in great hands. Carter is communicative and sends updates which we appreciate. I highly recommend booking with him.”
