“Jennifer was great! I just moved to the area and was in need of a dog sitter for a few days. She was responsive, provided regular updates and gave them a lot of love. I plan to use her again in the future. Thank you again!!”
“Ally was so amazing with my Goose! She absolutely loved playing with all her goldens! Ally was super responsive to any question or text I sent and also sent daily updates with pictures! Will definitely be rebooking with Ally, she’s a wonderful person to watch your babies!”
“Talia and her husband were absolutely amazing with my two pups. They spoiled them like they were their own and gave them so much love. There were several updates , constant pictures and she washed them both. They smelled like brand new dogs when we picked them up! Thank you again for being so kind and giving us peace of mind while we were away. She will definitely be our go-to sitter moving forward.”
About: I have three years of dog-sitting experience, caring for everything from energetic puppies to gentle seniors. As a proud pet parent myself, I believe in showering our babies with all the love and affection their precious lives deserve. I prioritize active, joyful outdoor time, including trips to the park, long walks, and relaxing together on the back porch! I'm correctly working part time and have a fairly flexible schedule. I want to be able to prioritize your pet's needs whether that looks like 1+ hour walks/ enrichment time or special feeding times and instructions. Your pets comfort is my number 1 priority. I love to go on long walks, go to the dog park, or used the fenced in dog space in my neighborhood to allow our babies the time they need to play and get the enrichment that they need. A pet is always welcome to make themselves at home in my space even if that means that I have to adapt certain things to their needs like assistance getting in bed for puppies and elder dogs or making sure that their favorite toys are always available for them to play with.
“Jennifer is the best!!! She took good care of my 2 wieners and even sewed up the holes in their beds!!! Her schedule is also very flexible! Thanks for everything she did!!”
“I can’t give Anna enough good reviews she is literally my go to every time I need a sitter for BJ and she never lets me down! BJ absolutely loves being with Anna and he always comes home happy and tired from a fun day. Thank you Anna you’re the best!”
“Mallory and her family took great care of my dog, Dottie, over the holidays! I was a little anxious that Dottie would misbehave (she has only been with me a short time and this was her first time staying with a dog sitter). Mallory was great at communicating and great with handling my sweet pup! I was totally reassured that I made the right choice choosing her. I would definitely leave Dottie with her again. I have used a number of different Rover sitters, and Mallory is my favorite!”
“Savannah was absolutely amazing! She kept us informed of how Remi was doing and also sent photos to show us she was relaxing just like she would be at home. I am so thankful we found someone to treat her like family while we are out of town. We will absolutely be calling on Savannah again in the future.”
“She was great. House was clean, doggie updates were adorable and pups came home happy and bathed. Be really specific on pick up and drop off times well in advance and this is a perfect sitter”
“Cassidy took wonderful care of our baby! We had boarded her before and she was miserable. From the pictures that Cassidy sent daily, Blue had a vacation too! I will absolutely be using Cassidy again! She was wonderful. Highly recommend”
“Thank you for caring for Dante ! He came back home a happy baby ! Amber definitely took good care of him and I couldn’t of been more pleased 😃 definitely will book with her again in the future”
“Leanna was perfect! I am most definitely a crazy dog mom and she made me feel super comfortable about leaving my pup. She also sent me pictures randomly to show me what a good time thor was having and send a video when I was missing him and asked how he was. She was super sweet and worked with me for pick up and drop off times. I will definitely use Leanna again for any future bookings!”
“Catherine is phenomenal. We are rather intense when it comes to our furbaby and Catherine handled all of our requests with a smile. She has a lengthy history working with animals and a sincere love for them. We were out of town for 10 days and had a lot of anxiety about leaving our little guy for so long. However, Catherine sent regular updates and lots of photos to help alleviate our worries. When I went to pick him up he was clean, happy, and wearing the cutest little bowtie I've ever seen. We recommend Catherine without any reservations.”
“Absolutely amazing!! My baby has real bad separation anxiety and I was nervous to have to board her, but Morgan kept me constantly updated and made my Sophie May as comfortable as possible! I will definitely be booking again next time we go out of town!”
“Danielle was in every sense excellent. She was far more capable than myself of watching these guys and was so chilled out during their entire stay as if to say, “don’t worry, i’ve got it.” My guys, Robby and Zoe, would exceedingly recommend that you book her at once. Thank you.”
“Gina is wonderful! We had tried a few places to bring our dog when we left town and Gina's place has been the best place for our fur baby :) she is very punctual, responsive, available, and always provides a detailed update that we appreciate. We like to use her regularly knowing Rooney is in good hands and has two other nice dogs to play with in a fenced back yard! Thanks Gina!”

About: I have always loved cats, I have one of my own! Her name is Zelda and I love her like she’s my baby. I will change their water, feed them, love on them, play with them, and even change their litter! Whatever your cats needs are, I’m on it!
“Jake took such great care of my pets! He was able to handle my cat, senior dog and our puppies, was such a lifesaver while I was out of town. The pictures he took are so cute too, would definitely recommend Jake watching your pets, he treated them with a lot of care.”
“Phenomenal!!!! The videos, the pictures, the time spent making sure my kitties got some love while I was out of town was so appreciated! It was my first time using Rover, and getting a pet sitter (that wasn’t a friend/family) and I have to say I’d gladly do it again!”
“Isabella is hands down the best pet sitter I’ve had the privilege of hiring. She was very flexible with my last minute needs, her communication is top tier, and If there was ever a problem (my fault) she was good at letting me know. My puppy is a big fan of her per the daily photos I received. She has won me over as a repeat client and I look forward to taking another trip without the stress of worrying about my puppy’s needs. Thank you again, Isabella! (:”
“Picked up my check-in request on short notice and met up the next day to go over everything and get the key. Was communicative and made sure my 9 month old cat got through the few days I was gone. Stinky Pete approved”
About: I’m patient, gentle, and always willing to learn each cat’s personality and routine. I understand that cats need a calm and comfortable environment, and I’ll make sure they feel safe.
About: About Us: We’re a dog-loving couple with experience caring for our own pups and others’. We offer a calm, loving home with a fenced yard and give lots of attention. We’re home most evenings and weekends, and we’re happy to stick to your dog’s routine to the best of ability. Whether it’s cuddles, fetch, or medication needs—we’ve got it handled! Why We Do This: We know how important it is to find someone you trust. Our dogs are part of our family, and we treat your fur baby the same way! We both work full-time during the day, but pet care still fits naturally into our routine. Mornings and evenings are structured and calm—ideal for play time in the backyard, feeding, and one-on-one time with your pup. Your dog will get plenty of attention before the day starts, and once we’re home, our evenings are dedicated to winding down with our pets. Weekends are usually spent at home, giving us time for longer playtime and cuddles. With our love for animals and established routines, your dog will feel safe, cared for, and part of our little family. If we visit your home, we will be sure to take care of your animal before and after our work day-as needed. We have a fenced in backyard, two dogs for company (a dog fence in the house if they you’re not comfortable with them mingling), and we will spoil your dog-just like we do ours! Our dogs have prescription food, need special care, and medicine, so those things are not unfamiliar to us!
About: I have had cats since I was born and I have also assisted my parents with fosters many kittens and adult cats for multiple years. I know how to take care of skittish or shy cats as well, since I have done that many times throughout fostering!
“Alex did such a great job watching our two cats while we were out of town! She followed all of our instructions perfectly, provided plenty of pictures and updates, and went above and beyond to make sure our boys were well taken care of! I highly recommend her for anyone needing a sitter!”
“Wendy was awesome! She was punctual and was in touch with me frequently reporting my dog’s actions and responses to her. I felt very confident in her care. I will definitely use her again! Highly recommend.”
“Our previous sitter is no longer working so I used the Rover app to locate a new sitter and was lucky enough to find Leslie. She responded quickly to my initial request and we set up a get-to-know-each-other visit shortly thereafter. She is very knowledgeable aoubt pet care and I had no concerns with going ahead and booking with her. We just got back from our trip and everything went very well. Leslie sent us daily notifications/photos of her visits, brought in our mail/packages and even watered our outside container plants. We will definitely be utilizing Leslie's services for any of our future”
About: I have always had animals around me since I was little. I just started doing house sitting and I was highly recommended by a family friend. I’m very dependable and can be trusted with your babies. I’ve helped out with animals here and there for family and I’m trying to get myself out there so that someone can have someone to help them out I’m available at any time of the week, I have a lot of time on my hands and when I’m needed, I will always be there. I have a family dog that is very loving and she’s a inside dog and is very much house trained and she’s a small dog that everyone wants to love on
About: Hello!! Thanks for visiting my profile :) I’ve had both dogs and cats in my household since birth and have actively helped to care for them since we adopted the first of my current dogs when I was 9. I have extensive experience caring for small dogs (5-15 lbs.) as both puppies and elderly, so I know how to keep them safe and happy! Additionally, I have helped to care for dogs of all sizes (up to 105 lbs.) on behalf of my extended family and friends, so I am also familiar with handling larger, more energetic animals. I have experience caring for up to 4 dogs at a time (the number in my house growing up) and am comfortable feeding, walking, bathing, and otherwise caring for them simultaneously. The oldest dog in my family takes medication daily, so I am also confident in administering medications as needed. I have also had cats for years and am comfortable caring for them indoors or outdoors and cleaning litter boxes if needed. Ultimately, I just really enjoy being around animals and I would love the chance to love on your pets for a while!! Please feel free to reach out with any questions or requests :) I am preparing to graduate with my master’s degree in December, and I would love to spend my study breaks caring for and loving on your pets! As a pet sitter, I am loving, gentle, and attentive. I love to know details about your dog(s)’s routine and preferences so that I can keep them as happy and comfortable as possible while you’re gone!
About: I have worked professionally with animals for over 12 years. I am a vet tech and can provide any type of care from your average house pets to your more exotic household pets such as rodents, reptiles and fish. I come with a plethora of references and would love to be your go to pet sitter while your out of town, working late or your pets desire some extra attention. I am a Tuscaloosa local so I will be available during all holidays, university breaks etc. I do own one dog names Snooki who is turning 10 this year. She is use to new dogs staying at our home because we perviously fostered for local area rescues. Please feel free to send me a message with any questions you may have.

“Jennifer and Erwin were AMAZING! She was lovely and communicated with me quickly and clearly. She took great care of my kitten. She even washed my kittens blanket!! Couldn’t have asked for a better sitter.”
About: Every dog is treated like family and cared for in a quiet, low-stress (300 acre) farm environment designed around their comfort and routine. With over 15 years of experience, I specialize in small-scale, boutique boarding with a very limited number of dogs at a time, ensuring close attention, consistency, and a calm atmosphere. Dogs follow a steady, predictable routine that includes outdoor time in a large fenced play area with partial shade for running and play, daily leash walks around the property, enrichment activities, and rest tailored to each dog’s individual needs and energy level. Dogs are thoughtfully matched by temperament to support a safe, comfortable environment. I have two well-socialized dogs of my own who enjoy other dogs, but interaction is always based on each visiting dog’s comfort level. If a dog prefers space or does best without other dogs, they can have a calm, low-traffic stay with minimal or no interaction. For dogs who enjoy socializing, my dogs provide friendly companionship in a supervised, relaxed setting. For dogs who do best on their own, I also offer the option of exclusive care—meaning no other client dogs will be booked during their stay. This allows for a fully personalized experience with my full attention. Dogs stay in a clean, climate-controlled indoor suite with indoor rest areas and direct access to a private fenced outdoor space. The focus is on individualized, attentive care where each dog can relax, feel secure, and settle in quickly. Caring for your dog is part of my daily routine since I’m home full-time on the 300 acre farm with the dogs throughout the day. Dogs enjoy a consistent schedule that includes outdoor play, walks, enrichment, meals, and rest, all tailored to their individual needs and energy levels. I stay hands-on with their care and provide regular updates so you feel comfortable while you're away. I provide structured, attentive care in a calm farm setting designed to help dogs feel safe and comfortable. Dogs enjoy outdoor play, leash walks, enrichment activities, meals, and rest breaks tailored to their individual needs and energy levels. I provide regular up-dates with photos and videos, and you can check in any time to see how your pup is doing. Dogs have access to a clean, climate-controlled indoors, which is especially helpful for dogs who need their own space or do best with limited interaction. Since I also have two dogs of my own, I carefully manage introductions and can provide fully separate accommodations with no direct contact with other dogs if needed. There’s also a separate large fenced and partially shaded outdoor area where dogs can safely play, explore, and relax throughout the day.
About: I’ve taken care of dogs for 4 years! I have three goldens of my own and understand how they can can be like family! 🫶🏼 I would be so excited to take care of your pets while you are away! I am also an AKC affiliated dog breeder of two years! I a college student who does online school so I’m available to care for your pets 3-4 times a day if desired. I usually am free any time of the day to come take your dog for a walk, check on them, or stay over night! I do live in a mobile home with three Goldens. The downside is I do not have a fenced in back yard, but the upside is I’m with them 16-24 hours of the day until their owners arrive back home! If a client ask me to stay at their home I usually follow their instructions with how many times they want me to come and if they want me to stay overnight! 🫶🏼
About: I’ve taken care of dogs for the last 8 years my brothers two dogs along with the three dogs I had growing up. I love dogs, they truly know how to turn any bad day into a good one. I currently call high school sports but other than that I’m always at home, if known in advance I can always take time off and be available at anytime I have a huge front and back yard, I there aren’t any dogs in the house at the current time but I do dog sit for my brother so there are times when other family friendly dogs will be in the house.
“Talhia was absolutely wonderful! this was my first time leaving my baby with someone else and she made me feel so much comfort. She sent pictures to me throughout the whole entire day , gave me updates on how she was doing, and loved my baby like it was her own. She will most definitely be my number one contact when I have to leave my baby.”
“I really appreciate Morgan. My schedule unfortunately almost caused a conflict with hers and she still went above and beyond to make sure Max enjoyed himself. Even as I picked Max up he continued to attempt to leave the car to go back with her, I could tell he enjoyed himself with her dog as well. Very appreciative! Definitely reach out to her about your fur baby.”
About: I understand what it means to leave your dog in someone else's care. That’s why your furry friend won’t just be a guest—they’ll be treated like family, with personalized care and lots of love. I currently don’t have pets at home, which allows me to provide exclusive attention to the dogs I care for. My furry family is in Mexico, my home country, and since I travel frequently, I can’t have them with me. This has only strengthened my dedication to care for other people’s pets with love, respect, and responsibility. I mostly work with repeat clients throughout the year. This helps me truly get to know each dog—their routines, their likes and dislikes—and make them feel calm and at home. Even though I’m still learning English, I always find ways to communicate clearly—using tools or translation support when needed. I’m committed to making every family feel heard, safe, and confident. If you're looking for someone to care for your dog as if they were their own—with love, respect, and dedication—I'm here to help! 💕 Pet care fits perfectly into my routine because I am passionate about their well-being. I plan my days flexibly to meet their needs, ensuring they get plenty of playtime, exercise, and companionship. Additionally, I organize my schedule to provide them with a safe and comfortable environment. I make sure each pet feels safe, comfortable, and well cared for according to their individual needs. In my clients' homes, I follow their usual routines to minimize stress for the pet, ensuring they receive the attention and companionship they need. Additionally, I maintain constant communication with the owners to give them peace of mind while they are away.
“Samantha did an amazing job! She was very accommodating as our drop off time was very last minute. She sent updates and we felt like our pup was in great hands the whole time. We will definitely reach out again when we are back in the area.”
“Alicia is so sweet! She was so good with my two pups. We used her for daycare and she sent me so many pics! She has a backyard which is great for our more energetic dog. Her dog and her kids were super friendly and gentle with our dogs. I could tell my babies were exhausted from when we got in the car.”
“Zoe has a level of care for pets and for people that makes her stand out from the rest. She puts in so much time and love into making sure you AND your pet is comfortable. By far one of the best communicators I’ve encountered on Rover. Cannot say enough great things. 100/10”
“Ansley and her fur baby, Koda have been amazing! Solo has had a blast 3 different play dates while we’ve been in Tuscaloosa! We received lots of pictures and videos of Solo having a wonderful time! Communication was awesome! We look forward to our next trip to Alabama so Solo can visit his friends again!”
About: I have had multiple dogs growing up and I am very good with them very fun and playful. I have one fur baby. At my home your baby will be spoiled. I can’t wait to confirm your booking. I’m honored to serve you! Since I work from home full time I’ll be able to attend to your baby all day. Naps, treats, frequent bathroom breaks, routine food schedules. Please note: pickups more than 30 minutes past the scheduled time may result in an extended care fee. Repeated late pickups without communication may affect future booking availability. I have a fenced in yard that gets treated for bugs and other harmful insects. Water provided to the dog will be filtered and fresh.
“Savannah very clearly LOVES dogs and she made sure my fur baby had a blast every time he came for daycare. She was always on time and a great communicator. I can definitely be a helicopter mom at times, but I would trust her with my pup any day! We will definitely be back!”
About: I got my first family dog at the age of 12 and he was a 100 pound chocolate Labrador named Max. When I moved to Germany, I was not allowed to take him so he currently lives with my brother. After moving back to the US, I got my own toy poodle at the age of 16 named Eymber and was completely responsible for her. Once I moved to college, I got her a puppy named Koko and they absolutely love eachother. Eymber is now 5 years old and koko is 1. Occasionally, I stop by the Tuscaloosa animal shelter to volunteer and I love being the reason a pup was happy that day. I love my babies and all fur babies more than anything in the world!!💛 I graduated from the University of Alabama in December of 2024. I’m a stay at home wife while my spouse works at the Alberta elementary school of performing arts so I’ll have plenty of time to cafe for your pups. I have a small fenced in backyard and 2 adult toy poodles who are very sweet to everyone. I live in a small neighborhood with tons of space to take walks/runs. I also prefer a gentle approach when correcting behavior and I believe crates should be a safe space rather than punishment.
“Alysse was very accommodating, communicated consistently, and sent updates with photos. I had a last minute need for my pups to have some supervision and company and she was super understanding. Thanks so much. Would definitely book again :)”
About: Hello! I'm looking forward to spending some of my time caring for your pets while you're away! I am really inspired by Old Friends Senior Dog Sanctuary and one day I hope to open my own animal sanctuary, but Rover will have to do for now. I've always had at least one dog in my house growing up. Right now I have two dogs as well as cats in my home. I also have a fenced yard to offer supervised play time and potty breaks. I'd be more than happy to drop in and make sure your lil' kitty-kat is well fed, played with, and has a clean litter box OR even host them in my cat room (AKA a quiet bedroom reserved just for cats that my pups do not have access to). Special skills: house training, crate training, medication administration- liquid and capsule, walking multiple (big) dogs at the same time, supervised play and feeding, etc. **Full disclosure: I am not on Rover for this to be my source of income. I keep my rates low because I know how expensive it can be when looking for trusted animal care, especially when you have more than one animal in the home and need to be away for more than a night. I am just offering the quality of care I want given to my animals when I am away. Any questions? Let's talk! My schedule during the day is pretty flexible as I work from home full time. I am also free during the weekend. What kind of care are you looking for and what days do you have in mind? I do offer a fenced yard and calm, child-free day care and pet sitting for those with proof of vaccination. I live in a house with plenty of room to stretch out and get comfortable. I am also able to take your dogs on leashed walks on the river trail or around town. My schedule is pretty flexible, I work from home so I have lots of autonomy. I’m home most of the time so there’s constant supervision. I have a fenced yard and extra bedrooms to offer a quiet space if your pet prefers to be away from the pack. Otherwise, I allow the animals in the house to nap, roam, and play wherever they'd like. My dogs are pretty social, they get along well with others and enjoy the dog park. My cats are also used to being around dogs and are pretty relaxed about it.

About: I have owned and cared for dogs my whole life. I also have extensive experience with horses and a wide range of other animals. Currently, I own 2 Belgian Malinous who are 8 and 5 yrs. Pets bring a joy to life that cannot be rivaled and it is my goal to care for others pets with love paying extensive care to each ownets personal requests. I also travel often and know how important it is to know our pets are being cared for by someone we trust. I am currently retired so have a very flexible schefule. While I own two large dogs they will not be with me when I care for your pet.. I am.looking to care for others pets in their home as I have two large dogs of my own. It is also my experience that dogs are more comfortable in their own environment.
About: What sets me different from others is the genuine connections I have with Dogs. A Dog is a man bestfriend and I love that quote. I single handedly trained all my dogs and others. Took time out to build that trust, connection, and loyalty to make sure we trust each other and be there for each other. I currently just graduated school. I went to Troy University out of high school and transferred to the University of Mississippi for my final year. Right now I have alot of free time on my hands and can work around any schedule. I care for pets the same way I care for a human. But also with the understanding the dog has to know your the “Top Dog” in a sense so it knows to respect you and not turn against you.
About: I have experience caring for dogs and cats for friends, family, and neighbors. I am responsible, patient, and love spending time with animals.

About: Hello! I have grown up with so many pets in the household. I love pets and love to care for them. I have always had a passion about animals. I have went to others houses and cared for animals for more than 4 years. I have two dogs, a miniature border collie and a German Shepard, and one cat!

I’m passionate about dogs and believe that a happy dog makes a world go round! I did rover for a few months while I lived in DC but now looking to start it again here in Alabama. I’m currently working remote, so my schedule for walking can be flexible as needed for all weekdays. I also am flexible for hours on the weekend! My number one priority is to keep your pet safe. At home we have an invisible fence to ensure safety for our dog and I make sure that I keep an eye on her at all times. I will always keep my eye out for your pets safety and will do everything needed to make sure they are comfortable and happy.

I have room in my schedule to walk dogs as needed and take care of any animals and stay overnight with them! I have always looked after my own cat with extreme care and have experience taking care of family and friends’ dogs!!! I can do what is needed as long as I am safe!!!😁
About: I have always had dogs growing up. I have 3 of my own right now, and two of them are 6 months old. I was always the one that was asked to come look after people’s pups, which included feeding them, walking them, and staying with them. I love dogs almost more than I love humans, and they deserve the love and care that they show us. I work a part-time job right now during the summer, but am a college student so in the fall, I am a little more booked than now. Most days I have plenty of time to look after your pups. I have a fenced yard, and 2 puppies that love meeting new friends. I will care for your pups and never do anything that I wouldn’t do to my own.
About: I have two girl dogs of my own. Grew up around dogs and used to help out with a ranch. I worked in the medical field, so i know basic medical skills to keep your pets safe.I am cpr certified and have basic knowledge about dog cpr and first aide. I love getting out and playing with my girls. We recently moved to 5 acres of land and have a large fenced in yard leading up to the basement. I have been with Rover for almost 2 years now and Love it so much! My son joe, who will be 3 in December, loves being around all the dogs and helps take care of them as well. Thanks for choosing me and God Bless You!
About: Animals are an absolute passion for me. With my compassion, caring nature, and familiarity with the basic needs of animals, I have the ability to care for pets perfectly. I have been passionate about animals since I was a child and this love for animals has grown over the years. I own 3 dog and a ferret – all are extremely well taken care of. Therefore, I am able to provide the same amount of love and care for your dogs as I do it for my own pets. My comprehension of the needs of pets, especially those of dogs, is outstanding – from feeding them food with the right nutrients to walking them, I know it all. I hope you will allow me to give your furry friend the best service! I currently work part-time. My availability is in the mornings and evenings during the week. On the weekends I am available at any time! Depending on the week, I may be available more times! I am very mindful of dog’s behavior in the home. I take my time when meeting a new dog and building trust. I also engage in providing positive reinforcement!
About: I am a loving dog mom who views pet care as a privilege rather than a job. I have three dogs of my own and have been taking care of pets basically my whole life. I want people to feel they can be absent without being missed while I keep their pets happy, healthy, and entertained at their home or mine. I am currently working part-time so I have plenty of time to keep your pups entertained and cared for whether it be house sitting, walking, stop-ins, or boarding. Can board anytime of the week as long as pet is crate trained (crate is provided by me). I have a fenced in back yard with 3 friendly dogs to keep your furry friend entertained. Dogs are more the welcome to run around and play inside my home as well. I have lots of toys and lots of energy. My dogs and I love going on walks just as much as we love cuddling on the couch watching movies.
About: I have 3 dogs myself and I’ve been taking care of dogs since I was 13. I’ve played with, walked, fed, bathed my neighbors, friends, and families dogs for years. I worked at a pet store for 2 years learned how to read and take care of dogs. I love all types of dogs! I work part-time in the evenings, so I have plenty of availability during the day for dog walks and drop-in visits. My flexible schedule allows me to provide reliable care throughout the week, and I’m committed to being punctual and making sure each pet gets the attention, exercise, and care they needs! I prioritize every pet’s safety and comfort by following the owner’s instructions closely, using secure leashes and harnesses during walks, and ensuring gates and doors are always properly closed. During home visits, I’ll provide fresh water, feed pets as directed, give them plenty of attention and exercise, and make sure the home is left exactly as I found it. I’ll also keep owners updated with messages and photos so they know their pet is happy and well cared for!
About: My animal and pet sitting experience is very extensive from having at most 4 dogs in my house growing up and farm sitting, cat/dog/lizard/fish sitting since I was 13. I love all animals and their health, safety, and happiness is my number one priority. Currently I’m a student in Alabama, originally I’m from South Carolina and have done pet sitting there for awhile. Although I do have class Monday-Friday I am available in the afternoons as my classes are all in the morning for the most part. I am also almost always available on the weekends! Personally, I have a female English Pointer mix who is very friendly with other dogs and people… she is easy going to say the least. Depending on your pups and the environment River could possibly be a good playmate if your fur babies are lonely. Safety is number one so I wouldn’t ever do anything without owners permission.
About: Hi! My name is Anna! I am currently in between jobs, so I have some extra time on my hands! I have a 2.5-year-old son who loves animaIs and will love on your pets, if allowed. I have a fenced-in backyard and am more than happy to take dogs to the local dog park. I’m happy to host dogs in my home, walk dogs, visit dogs, or anything else you may need. Please feel free to message me! I’m looking forward to helping you and meeting some new furry friends! I am currently in between jobs, so I have plenty of free time to check on pets throughout the day. I am free to check on dogs, walk dogs, etc. throughout the day. I have a fenced-in yard where dogs are free to play. I am happy to crate dogs if they are used to being crated while I am away or at night. I will follow all instructions given to me!

“Ally was so amazing with my Goose! She absolutely loved playing with all her goldens! Ally was super responsive to any question or text I sent and also sent daily updates with pictures! Will definitely be rebooking with Ally, she’s a wonderful person to watch your babies!”
“Talia and her husband were absolutely amazing with my two pups. They spoiled them like they were their own and gave them so much love. There were several updates , constant pictures and she washed them both. They smelled like brand new dogs when we picked them up! Thank you again for being so kind and giving us peace of mind while we were away. She will definitely be our go-to sitter moving forward.”
About: I have three years of dog-sitting experience, caring for everything from energetic puppies to gentle seniors. As a proud pet parent myself, I believe in showering our babies with all the love and affection their precious lives deserve. I prioritize active, joyful outdoor time, including trips to the park, long walks, and relaxing together on the back porch! I'm correctly working part time and have a fairly flexible schedule. I want to be able to prioritize your pet's needs whether that looks like 1+ hour walks/ enrichment time or special feeding times and instructions. Your pets comfort is my number 1 priority. I love to go on long walks, go to the dog park, or used the fenced in dog space in my neighborhood to allow our babies the time they need to play and get the enrichment that they need. A pet is always welcome to make themselves at home in my space even if that means that I have to adapt certain things to their needs like assistance getting in bed for puppies and elder dogs or making sure that their favorite toys are always available for them to play with.
“I can’t give Anna enough good reviews she is literally my go to every time I need a sitter for BJ and she never lets me down! BJ absolutely loves being with Anna and he always comes home happy and tired from a fun day. Thank you Anna you’re the best!”
“Mallory and her family took great care of my dog, Dottie, over the holidays! I was a little anxious that Dottie would misbehave (she has only been with me a short time and this was her first time staying with a dog sitter). Mallory was great at communicating and great with handling my sweet pup! I was totally reassured that I made the right choice choosing her. I would definitely leave Dottie with her again. I have used a number of different Rover sitters, and Mallory is my favorite!”
“Savannah was absolutely amazing! She kept us informed of how Remi was doing and also sent photos to show us she was relaxing just like she would be at home. I am so thankful we found someone to treat her like family while we are out of town. We will absolutely be calling on Savannah again in the future.”
“She was great. House was clean, doggie updates were adorable and pups came home happy and bathed. Be really specific on pick up and drop off times well in advance and this is a perfect sitter”
“Cassidy took wonderful care of our baby! We had boarded her before and she was miserable. From the pictures that Cassidy sent daily, Blue had a vacation too! I will absolutely be using Cassidy again! She was wonderful. Highly recommend”
“Thank you for caring for Dante ! He came back home a happy baby ! Amber definitely took good care of him and I couldn’t of been more pleased 😃 definitely will book with her again in the future”
“Leanna was perfect! I am most definitely a crazy dog mom and she made me feel super comfortable about leaving my pup. She also sent me pictures randomly to show me what a good time thor was having and send a video when I was missing him and asked how he was. She was super sweet and worked with me for pick up and drop off times. I will definitely use Leanna again for any future bookings!”
“Catherine is phenomenal. We are rather intense when it comes to our furbaby and Catherine handled all of our requests with a smile. She has a lengthy history working with animals and a sincere love for them. We were out of town for 10 days and had a lot of anxiety about leaving our little guy for so long. However, Catherine sent regular updates and lots of photos to help alleviate our worries. When I went to pick him up he was clean, happy, and wearing the cutest little bowtie I've ever seen. We recommend Catherine without any reservations.”
“Absolutely amazing!! My baby has real bad separation anxiety and I was nervous to have to board her, but Morgan kept me constantly updated and made my Sophie May as comfortable as possible! I will definitely be booking again next time we go out of town!”
“Danielle was in every sense excellent. She was far more capable than myself of watching these guys and was so chilled out during their entire stay as if to say, “don’t worry, i’ve got it.” My guys, Robby and Zoe, would exceedingly recommend that you book her at once. Thank you.”
“Gina is wonderful! We had tried a few places to bring our dog when we left town and Gina's place has been the best place for our fur baby :) she is very punctual, responsive, available, and always provides a detailed update that we appreciate. We like to use her regularly knowing Rooney is in good hands and has two other nice dogs to play with in a fenced back yard! Thanks Gina!”
“Audrey is fantastic! She took such great care of Mylo and even stayed with him overnight. My fur baby loves being with her, and she’s always so thoughtful and attentive to his needs. Thank you, Audrey!”
About: I’m a long time animal lover. I have been a trusted pet sitter for years through friends and referrals, now I’d like to offer reliable, professional care to my neighbors and community. My schedule is extremely flexible. I can board, I can go to you as needed, I have the time to take your pet out often and make sure they get all the zoomies out before they return home. I provide a clean, safe, and calm environment where your dog can relax and feel at home. I’m attentive, reliable, and prioritize safety, structure, and clear communication at all times.
“Jamie was absolutely amazing!! I was terrified to leave my dog for the first time and Jamie made it so easy and not stressful at all. She sent me lots of updates with pictures of my puppy having a blast with her family and other dogs. I completely trust her to watch over him and I will definitely take him back to her the next time I have to go to town.”
