“Katie and her family did a wonderful job of making our Stella feel at home. She kept us updated with pictures and texts the entire time. It made us feel good that they said they would miss her when she left. Would definitely recommend and use again!”
“If I could leave 10 out of 5 stars I would! Amanda was wonderful and we could not have asked for a better experience. Besides being kind, gentle, and thoughtful, she was very caring and gave our dog lots of attention. We had multiple pictures and videos, which were so nice. She took Oliver on walks every day, not down the street, but to a park every day. She also fed him home cooked chicken (with my approval) to try to get him to eat (picky eater!). I know Oliver had a great time and it was so nice not worrying about our little boy! We will definitely use her again! Thank you Amanda!”
“This was such a great experience for our family! We always have tears when we leave Toby for boarding, but Savannah made everyone feel so happy and comfortable as soon as we met her and dropped him off! We received pictures all weekend and knew he was getting loved on and having a great time! We will definitely be doing this from now on!”
“Doug is a very thoughtful and kind sitter. He took excellent care of my elderly puppy and kept me updated on how she was doing. I am very thankful that he was able to take care of her while we were away!”
“5 stars! Great communication from pre booking to drop off and continuing through pickup. Took great care of my 2 dogs, sent pictures and updates during their stay. Perfect sitter in a comfy home setting. Highly recommend”
“Tatiana was awesome! I got lots of updates with pictures and videos and communication and I knew my Daisy was in good hands! Daisy had so much fun playing and she got lots of cuddles. We will definitely book again!”
“Opal was incredible and I will definitely use her services when going out of town again! My sweet dog is 11 years old and has very bad arthritis but she took the best care of him and loved him like he was her own, and he had a great time! It’s so relieving when you find someone who will love and take care of your pet just as you do at home and will keep you updated with photos and videos each day. 5-stars!”
“⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Sac was wonderful with my dog, April! She took great care of him and kept me updated with messages and photos, which gave me peace of mind while I was away. April came home happy, healthy, and well cared for. It was clear that Sac treated him like her own dog. I highly recommend her to anyone looking for a reliable, caring, and trustworthy pet sitter. Thank you, Sac, for taking such great care of April!”
“Stephanie is (by far) our favorite sitter on Rover. She treats our little dachshund as if she is a member of the family and gives her so much love and affection. She is also fantastic to work with and we enjoy her updates. Highly, highly recommended.”
“Cannot say enough good words!! Laura loved on my puppies and sent me pictures and kept me so in the loop while they were there💕 would absolutely use again next time we are in the area for travel! Thank you so much again for taking care of my fur babies!”
“Jonathan and his family were great! We will definitely be requesting them as a new regular. Very friendly, helped us out and allowed us to extend our boarding for an additional night at last minute, sent updates and pictures, and made sure our dog had plenty of exercise!”
“They took great care of my Aussiedoodle. He looked so happy in every photo. She sent plenty of photos and him and each photo had a little blurb of how he was doing. It was very cute! I would totally trust them again with him. It makes it more enjoyable for him that they have their own dogs as well. I know he enjoyed playing with them.”
“Great communication and was amazing with my dogs! My husky is usually very stubborn and doesn’t eat much when I’m not around, but he did this time. It was also my puppy’s first time away from me and it went so well. I also loved that there was a huge backyard for my boys to run around in, so they were nice and tired as I unpacked from my trip. Would definitely recommend and rebook!”
“Kyler is wonderful with our two English Bulldogs. She sends lots of updates and pictures and is super accommodating. We’ve used her twice and plan on using her again when we travel! Our boys love her and seem to make themselves at home in her care. Thank you!”
“This was our first time using Jordyn since moving to the area and she was amazing! She communicated with us and sent pictures daily and put us at ease with leaving our dog. We will absolutely be using Jordyn again in the future. I highly recommend her!”

“Stephanie did such a great job! She communicated with me and sent pictures of my kitties. I felt very relaxed knowing that she was going to check on them and make sure they had everything they needed. I highly recommend Stephanie and will happily request her again in the future.”

About: My family has spent a a long time caring for and loving cats of all ages and personalities—from playful kittens full of energy to calm, cherished senior cats who prefer quiet companionship. Each cat is treated as family in our home, with respect for their unique temperament, routines, and boundaries. I understand that cats thrive on consistency, patience, and gentle attention. Whether it’s playtime, feeding routines, litter box care, or simply providing a comforting presence, I take the time to ensure each cat feels safe, secure, and understood. Our own cat is leash-trained, reflecting the care and patience we bring to every aspect of feline responsibility. I know how important your cat’s health, comfort, and emotional well-being are, especially when your schedule keeps you busy or you’re away from home. It would be my privilege to provide dependable, compassionate cat care.
“We are very grateful to Kordell for taking long (2 weeks) care of our Kotik (cat). At the end, Kotik felt himself with Kordell as in his own house. Great job! Thank you.”
“Tara was great to work with. She clearly cares about animals and their wellbeing- you can be sure you’re leaving yours in good hands! Tara also made sure I felt as comfortable as possible, checked in with tons of photos and happenings daily.”
“Thank you again for taking care of our kitties. I feel so much more comfortable leaving them, knowing they’re safe and well cared for. I hope you’ll be available for our next trip.”

“I cannot say enough good about Savannah! She is an absolutely amazing caretaker. She treated my little girl like she was her own. If I could give her 10 out of 5 stars I would.”
About: Ive taken care of animals since I was a child, I volunteer at pet shelters and have training as a vet tech from a vet clinic. I am a mama bear when it comes to all animals, they are treated with respect and love. I am a receptionist and mother of 2 boys, and my husband works from home as an accountant. Your dog or cat will be in great hands, I will walk them and take potty breaks. When I am away at work or the store they will be separated from other animals and given toys and water until I get home. I keep an eye on them with a baby monitor. My husband works from home and will also be helping me take care of the fur babies. When we are home they will be out and monitored and loved on. They sleep in crates at night on occasion or in our bed. They get healthy treats and tons of toys. They have a fenced yard to play and run in.
About: 30 years of experience having dogs & cats as part of the family. Now passing my love of caring for animals down to my daughters & they want to help care for as many as possible. We are available for boarding, drop-in visits, dog walking, doggie daycare, & more. I am currently a homeschool mom and have a very flexible schedule. We will be as accommodating as possible for your pets individual needs & treat them as part of our family. We have a huge fenced in back yard. Two girls that love animals more than anything in life. Your dog will have fun and be well cared for while you are out of town! We will send you pictures and updates during your time away. And I can easily crate your dog if needed, (but will only if you do this at home).
“My babies came home fully intact! No parts missing lol! Jessica was a great host for my children. She sent updates throughout the day along with photographs. From the moment I dropped them off I was confident I had chosen the right person for the task. She is a pleasant human with a big heart. Yep, my babies came home just as I dropped them off, happy and all parts intact! Thank you Jessica!”
“We were planning to leave our pups in a large kennel outside because we were only taking a day trip. Last minute, I feel that it is going to be too cold for me to be comfortable leaving them outside. David agreed to take them last minute, easing my concerns. We felt our pups were well cared for during their time with David. He kept us updated on them settling in. He sent us a video of our pups outside, behaving as they would if they were home. All of David's interactions with us during their stay allowed us to enjoy time with our family without concern. We are also sitters so, the fact that I would highly recommend David should speak volumes.”
“Jennifer was the absolute best with my fur baby Bentley!! He had so much fun playing with her fur babies he slept so good the next day! I was so impressed with her services I asked if she could keep my human babies! lol Will definitely use her again!”
“Kyler is an exceptional doggy-whisperer and caretaker, and she has been a tremendous resource for taking care of my pup with both sitting and boarding services. She is incredibly easy to work with, always thoroughly communicative, extremely accommodating and, without a doubt, well-knowledgeable and experienced in what she does. My pup is always happy and exhausted after time with Kyler, and I'm always at ease knowing that she will be well taken care of in Kyler's company. The praise in this review is absolutely well-deserved!”
About: I have had the privilege of always having dogs. For me, there’s no greater joy! I was actually nicknamed at a young age “the dog whisperer” and I promise you it fits! I regard a dog’s care and routine with the utmost respect. I see the value in both physical and mental stimulation for your dog. Whether it’s playing games, learning commands, an agility course, or scent work, there are so many ways to introduce enrichment. Two of my own dogs have disabilities, one who is deaf and has seizures and one who had a leg amputated due to cancer (but he’s in remission and he’s loving life as a tripod!). So I am very familiar and comfortable with administering medication, following a specific care routine, and most importantly, giving all the belly rubs and kisses needed! I want your dog to feel secure with me and want me around, so I’m happy to do a meet and greet to get our journey together started! I work from home during the week and I’m off on weekends. I am usually available even with little notice. I am happy to provide whatever help you need that is best for your dog. Walks, playing, snuggles, and anything else needed! I take safety very seriously! I do not allow on leash greetings (unless you let me know who your pup’s neighborhood friends are and then I’m happy to let them say hi). I carry pet corrector in case an off leash dog approaches. I am very observant to dog behaviors and body language and I will quickly become in tune with your dog. I know how stressful it can be trusting someone with your dog so I’m happy to provide as many updates and photos as you like. I have a 2 acre fenced in yard (8’ high fence) that is secure and safe. The perfect space for playing, sniffs, or just being lazy! I have 3 friendly Great Danes that love animals! They are used to having their furry friends come over and play.
“Laura is great! I will definitely book again. She was able to keep my fur baby on short notice with no hesitation. Her home was clean and welcoming with fenced in back yard perfect for pets. My pup is usually very shy, but immediately warmed up to Laura and her husband. Laura kept me up to date on how he was doing throughout the stay and sent pictures as well. She's a great sitter!”
About: I have over nine years of experience caring for dogs, including one year as a boarder. Growing up, I fostered dogs and cared for pets of all sizes and temperaments. I genuinely love spending time with dogs, but since I can’t have one where I live, getting to walk and care for them every day brings me so much joy! Whether your pup needs extra playtime, careful attention, or a dependable walker, I’m here to help. As an online student at UAB, I have a flexible schedule and can accommodate walks and pet care throughout any day of the week. I’m usually up by 6 AM, so I’m available for early morning walks if needed. However, I prefer not to do nighttime walks for safety reasons. Whether your pup needs a midday walk or an afternoon play session, I’m happy to be there! I provide pet care in clients’ homes, following all given instructions to ensure consistency and comfort for your dog. Whether it’s walking, exercise, feeding schedules, or crate time, I follow routines closely to keep pets happy and stress-free. I prioritize safety, trust, and personalized care to make sure your pet feels comfortable while you’re away.
“This Riley's first stay with Breanna and Jason and it was a big hit 😀 Riley came home happy and tired 🤗 I will say that Breanna and Jason have a very handsome Golden of their own that might have influenced Riley's attitude 😉 Both of the hoomans were kind, courteous and flexible with my plans and took time to properly introduce my Riley to their home and see that she was well cared for. We look forward to seeing Breanna and Jason and family again soon 😊”
About: With over 16 years of experience in animal care, I bring a strong background in both small and large animals, including horses, livestock, and dogs. I’ve worked in veterinary clinics and dog boarding facilities, which gave me hands-on experience with animals of all temperaments and needs. While I value the structure of those settings, I believe in-home care is the most comfortable and stress-free option for most pets. I currently care for two dogs and two horses of my own, and I approach every client’s animal with the same level of respect, patience, and attentiveness I give my own. House Sitting Availability: I’m available for overnight care only, providing feeding, walks, and supervision during the night hours. Drop-In Visits Availability: I can provide up to two drop-in visits per day, including feeding, potty breaks, and basic care. In home boarding : I live in an apartment with a fenced deck, have two friendly dogs, and kids aged 3 and 8. I provide plenty of walks, playtime, and attention. I never board more than one family at a time, so your pup gets all the care and attention they need while you’re away. I prioritize safety and trust above all else when caring for pets in your home. Creating a calm, secure environment is essential to help your pets feel comfortable and relaxed while you’re away. I treat your home and pets with the same respect and care I would expect for my own!
“I absolutely cannot compromise on is knowing my sweet puppy Mango is not just safe, but truly loved, happy, and well-cared for while I’m away. That’s where Adelle comes in, and she has been nothing short of a miracle. Adelle has given me something priceless: true peace of mind. Knowing Mango is in her loving hands allows me to focus completely on my craft without that worry in the back of my mind. For a chef who lives and breathes their passion, that trust is everything. Adelle, I honestly couldn’t repay you in this lifetime for the comfort and joy you bring to both Mango and me. You’re not just a dog sitter you’re a friend, again thank you so much ❤️🤍💙⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️🥭 - Chef Jay & Mango ✨✨”
“I reached out to Mrs. Kim on very short notice after my dog sitter bailed on me days prior to a week long vacation I had scheduled. Mrs.Kim was very accommodating with my request. She does frequent updates and made my baby a part of her pact, and now my dog loves it there! 100% recommend Mrs. Kim and her family and will be using her again and again !”
“Doug did a great job taking care of our dog, Paisley! We were visiting family and needed a sitter in a pinch (during a holiday weekend no less) and Doug was super quick to respond and help us out. He provided nice updates with photos, and it was clear Paisley had a great time and was well taken care of. He even took the extra effort to replace her ball when she lost it the bushes while playing outside. Would definitely use Doug again.”
“Lawden is amazing! Zeus loves her and loves going over to her house to play. It’s so reassuring to know my pup gets the same love and and affection and correction 😅 he would get at home. Lawden provides a safe and stimulating and social environment for Zeus and he loves going to see her!”
About: Growing up, I always had several dogs in my home, and have even adopted two of my own. Over the years I’ve gained a lot of experience working with hundreds of animals with a wide range of breeds and pets of all ages and sizes. I have experience taking care of dogs anywhere from feeding to walking to playing (etc) for any age range and any size. As mentioned in the title, I have experience working at Birmingham’s local Humane Society and in that time learned a lot about animal behavior. This will help me ensure an animal’s comfort level, safety and trust during my time caring for them. I believe the key to taking care of animals is showing them genuine love and patience. I love animals and do this work to make some money on the side, but also because it brings me so much joy! All pets are considered family, so it’s guaranteed to treat them as such. Your pet’s happiness and safety are top priority so I aim to create a fun and stress free environment for everyone. I’m currently working side hustle jobs that give me the benefit of working with a very flexible schedule. Whatever your needs will be for me to properly care for for animals will be easily catered to during my time caring for your pet/pets. During my stay at a client’s home, I will be able to cater to the pet’s regular routine. I also am comfortable and experienced giving dogs medication if they are on a vet prescribed medicine. I am happy to discuss any needs of the household and go over any expectations of my tile in your space.
About: I was trained how to train dogs at an early age after our first dog was trained by our breeder. Since then I trained 2 golden retrievers and an Australian Cattle dog (red heeler). Both breeds are strong willed and have high energy. I work from home and so have a lot of freedom to break away to take care of dogs. I enjoy taking care of dogs and sharing the knowledge from my experience of training and raising dogs. I have a large beautiful fenced yard, have multiple crates for use and live within walking distance of a dog park. I have kids that will make sure your dog gets lots of love while being boarded.

I stick to their usual routine as much as possible — whether that means feeding, walks, playtime, or giving medication. I’m big on building trust with each animal and making sure they feel safe while their person is away. I always leave things clean, double-check food and water, and send updates so you know your pet is in good hands.
About: Hi my name is Mason! I’ve spent most of my life caring for all kinds of animals. From domestic dogs and cats to exotic zoo animals, I’ve worked with them all and love them all! I am patient and understanding with animals, acknowledging that time away from their owner can be stressful for them. I want to be sure each animal in my care feels loved and taken care of. I have petsat for years, starting at a young age for neighbors and friends with various dogs, cats, and even reptiles. Moving into paid animal care positions with zoos and shelters, I have continued my passion for animal care. I want to help your animal feel just like home even when you can’t be there! I work at an emergency vet clinic, working only three days a week. I am openly available on those off days to care for your pets and give them my undivided attention! My own pets are considered happy, healthy, and SPOILED! I’d love to give that same care to your babies. I believe each pet deserves endless love and cuddles, and I want to do that in your absence.

“Katie and her family did a wonderful job of making our Stella feel at home. She kept us updated with pictures and texts the entire time. It made us feel good that they said they would miss her when she left. Would definitely recommend and use again!”
“If I could leave 10 out of 5 stars I would! Amanda was wonderful and we could not have asked for a better experience. Besides being kind, gentle, and thoughtful, she was very caring and gave our dog lots of attention. We had multiple pictures and videos, which were so nice. She took Oliver on walks every day, not down the street, but to a park every day. She also fed him home cooked chicken (with my approval) to try to get him to eat (picky eater!). I know Oliver had a great time and it was so nice not worrying about our little boy! We will definitely use her again! Thank you Amanda!”
“This was such a great experience for our family! We always have tears when we leave Toby for boarding, but Savannah made everyone feel so happy and comfortable as soon as we met her and dropped him off! We received pictures all weekend and knew he was getting loved on and having a great time! We will definitely be doing this from now on!”
“Tatiana was awesome! I got lots of updates with pictures and videos and communication and I knew my Daisy was in good hands! Daisy had so much fun playing and she got lots of cuddles. We will definitely book again!”
“Opal was incredible and I will definitely use her services when going out of town again! My sweet dog is 11 years old and has very bad arthritis but she took the best care of him and loved him like he was her own, and he had a great time! It’s so relieving when you find someone who will love and take care of your pet just as you do at home and will keep you updated with photos and videos each day. 5-stars!”
“⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Sac was wonderful with my dog, April! She took great care of him and kept me updated with messages and photos, which gave me peace of mind while I was away. April came home happy, healthy, and well cared for. It was clear that Sac treated him like her own dog. I highly recommend her to anyone looking for a reliable, caring, and trustworthy pet sitter. Thank you, Sac, for taking such great care of April!”
“Stephanie is (by far) our favorite sitter on Rover. She treats our little dachshund as if she is a member of the family and gives her so much love and affection. She is also fantastic to work with and we enjoy her updates. Highly, highly recommended.”
“Cannot say enough good words!! Laura loved on my puppies and sent me pictures and kept me so in the loop while they were there💕 would absolutely use again next time we are in the area for travel! Thank you so much again for taking care of my fur babies!”
“Jonathan and his family were great! We will definitely be requesting them as a new regular. Very friendly, helped us out and allowed us to extend our boarding for an additional night at last minute, sent updates and pictures, and made sure our dog had plenty of exercise!”
“They took great care of my Aussiedoodle. He looked so happy in every photo. She sent plenty of photos and him and each photo had a little blurb of how he was doing. It was very cute! I would totally trust them again with him. It makes it more enjoyable for him that they have their own dogs as well. I know he enjoyed playing with them.”
“Great communication and was amazing with my dogs! My husky is usually very stubborn and doesn’t eat much when I’m not around, but he did this time. It was also my puppy’s first time away from me and it went so well. I also loved that there was a huge backyard for my boys to run around in, so they were nice and tired as I unpacked from my trip. Would definitely recommend and rebook!”
“Kyler is wonderful with our two English Bulldogs. She sends lots of updates and pictures and is super accommodating. We’ve used her twice and plan on using her again when we travel! Our boys love her and seem to make themselves at home in her care. Thank you!”
“This was our first time using Jordyn since moving to the area and she was amazing! She communicated with us and sent pictures daily and put us at ease with leaving our dog. We will absolutely be using Jordyn again in the future. I highly recommend her!”
“First time using rover. Danielle was great and very accommodating. You could tell she wanted to make sure owners are updated on their pet and gave a review of the stay on pickup.”
“Charlie was amazing with my dog, Shadow!!! Her and her girls were so sweet to him, sent pics of him living his best life everyday, and we're super accommodating and helpful throughout the entire process, start to finish! We will definitely book with Charlie again!”
“Wade & Morgan were fantastic hosts for our dog Boone over Memorial Day Weekend. Boone had a ball playing with their dog Atlas for 3 days. Wade and Morgan sent pictures and provided updates everyday. Would highly recommend!”
“This was my first time using Rover and I cannot say enough good things about our pet sitter Carson. She was perfect for us and our pet babies and from the very beginning of the process she was great. She was quick to respond to my initial message and she was informative and accommodating. She welcomed our babies into her home and sent us pictures and texts to let us know they were doing well which was so nice. She even went above and beyond when my flight home was going to make me late for our pickup time and was so helpful and accommodating! Overall, it was one of the best experiences with pet sitting/ boarding that we’ve ever had. Carson, thank you much for taking care of our babies! You don’t know how nice it was to know that they were being loved while we were away. And thank you so much for the pictures and for always reaching out to ask me questions about them. I hope they were good for you and that are invited back again because you guys were so wonderful and a godsend. Thank you again!!!! 💕”
