“The stay was perfect. The pickup and drop off was amazing no complications. I got plenty of pictures. I know my dog was still getting properly trained how I train her. I had no worries.”
“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.”
“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.”
“Leif and Dani were the best. They took very good care of our pup and kept us updated with photos throughout the stay. Very communicative. Would definitely recommend them to anyone looking for a rover in the area!”
“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!”
“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!”
“Allison always takes such incredible care of our dog, Callie! She sends us updates, pictures and videos throughout her stay and is quick to respond. Callie has the best time with Allison and we always feel so at ease leaving Callie with 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.”
About: What sets me apart is how intentional I am with each pet. I pay attention to their behavior, energy, and comfort level so they feel safe, not just watched. I’m patient with puppies and can help reinforce routines like potty training and basic commands. I’m also gentle and attentive with senior pets, making sure they’re comfortable and cared for at their pace. I’m reliable, detail-oriented, and I keep communication clear so you always know your pet is in good hands! Pet care fits well into my routine since I’m home part-time and have a flexible schedule. I’m able to plan my days so pets get consistent attention, whether that’s walks, playtime, or check-ins throughout the day. When I’m home, I’m present and attentive, and I make sure any time away is planned around the pet’s needs so their routine stays consistent. I prioritize making pets feel comfortable and cared for, not rushed. I have an open yard and leave near the marina. I’m happy to take them to the beach! They love to play in that area.
“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.”
“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!”
About: Hello! My name is Anna Kate. I am a current student at Auburn University studying veterinary pharmacy and I work at Auburn’s veterinary hospital. I attended high school at Hewitt-Trussville High School and graduated with an Honors diploma, and then went on to graduated from Auburn with an undergrad in Biomedical Sciences! Throughout my life, I have loved spending time with animals, and I have a standard poodle named Sully, and a rescue pup named Winnie! My love for all animals has led me to helping others care for their pets! I have plenty of experience with a wide variety of animals including cats, dogs, rabbits, fish, geckos, guinea pigs, frogs, and etc! I have also taken care of all life stages of animals from just a few days old to all the way to senior aged! In my free time during the summers, I also volunteer my time at the local animals shelters and have fostered both kittens and puppies through Care Humane Society!

I have some experience with cats and I am not afraid to handle and take care of them. I am willing to take care of any pet, and want to provide a great experience for both the owner and pet!
“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!”
“Tori was so good with my 13 year old Yorkie. She gave him lots of attention and engagement and didn’t mind if she needed to take him out more often. He came back calm and sleeping through the night again! Her communication with us was always clear and she kept the pictures coming. She even had a little place in her home specifically for a pet. It was like he was staying at a good friends house who had known him all his life. We are so grateful! Finding a good boarding sitter is hard but we struck gold with Tori!”
“Shaina took GREAT care of our German Shepherd. Our dog felt very comfortable around her and her family, she sent picture updates, and she accommodated to our dog not getting along with one of her dogs. Definitely will reach out to her again if we need to board our dog!”
“This was our first time using Rover. Carter was fantastic & made us feel so comfortable leaving our pup. So accommodating and Luna had a blast running & playing. I liked getting the updates on her during her stay, too. I will 100% use Carter again. Great experience!!!”

About: Hi! I’m Jessica, a lifelong animal lover with over 20 years of experience caring for cats and other pets. I understand that every cat has a unique personality, routine, and comfort level, and I take pride in providing patient, attentive care tailored to their individual needs. I have experience caring for kittens, adult cats, and senior cats, including those that require medication, special diets, extra monitoring, or additional patience and reassurance. I’m comfortable caring for shy, anxious, independent, and highly social cats, and I always allow them to interact at their own pace to help them feel safe and comfortable. My services include feeding, fresh water, litter box maintenance, playtime, enrichment activities, medication administration when needed, and plenty of attention based on your cat’s preferences. Whether your cat enjoys chasing toys, receiving affection, or simply having a calm and reliable presence nearby, I will make sure they feel cared for while you’re away. I know how important it is to trust someone with your pet, so I provide regular updates and photos to keep you informed and give you peace of mind. My goal is to maintain your cat’s routine, reduce stress, and ensure they feel safe, comfortable, and loved in your absence. I treat every pet as if they were my own and would be honored to care for your feline family member. 🐱💕
About: Along with being a dog owner for most of my life I’ve also shadowed in and helped my local vets office with walking, and taking care of dogs. Hello! I'm currently a full-time college student. My schedule allows me to provide consistent pet care, and I prioritize maintaining each pet's normal routine to keep them comfortable and happy. When caring for pets in a client's home, I like to focus on maintaining their normal routine. I follow all instructions regarding feeding schedules, walks, exercise, and medication.
About: I’ve always loved animals and originally wanted to become a veterinarian growing up. Now, as a pre-nursing student at AU, I still love having the opportunity to care for others — especially animals. I grew up with a childhood dog that I was completely inseparable from. Even when I was little, I helped feed her, walk her, play with her, and even helped with training. Those experiences are a huge part of why I love pet care so much today. My family now has two dogs that we got while I was in high school, and I love visiting them every chance I get. I’m definitely the type of person who immediately gravitates toward the dog at any social gathering. I’ve been pet sitting and dog walking for friends, family, and neighbors since I was around 10 years old, and even more frequently once I started driving at 16. I’m very attentive to each pet’s individual needs, whether that means going on runs with high-energy dogs or taking slower walks and giving extra comfort and attention to more relaxed pets. My goal is always to make pets feel safe, happy, and so loved while their owners are away. I also worked on a ranch last summer where I cared for dogs, cats, horses, donkeys, chickens, and ducks, which gave me even more hands-on experience with a wide variety of animals and personalities. Although I didn’t grow up with cats, I’ve done plenty of cat sitting over the years and absolutely love them as well. I know every cat is different, and I’m always patient and attentive to their routines and comfort level. Pet care fits very naturally into my daily routine. I work a 9–5 job during the week, but I have an hour lunch break that gives me flexibility for walks, check-ins, or midday care. I also usually go on a run in the mornings and take walks after work or after dinner, so I’m very used to staying active and would love bringing a dog along if they enjoy extra exercise. On weekends, I’m available all day and have a much more flexible schedule for walks, drop-ins, playtime, or overnight care. I live in a two-level apartment/townhouse with plenty of space for pets to be comfortable and move around. There’s grass right outside for easy bathroom breaks and walks, plus a balcony and a dog park within my apartment complex for extra exercise and playtime. I keep a clean, safe, and calm environment and always make sure pets are supervised, comfortable, and sticking to their normal routines as much as possible. When caring for pets in a client’s home, I’m very respectful of both the home and the pet’s routine. I know consistency is important for animals, so I always try to keep them comfortable by following feeding schedules, walk routines, and any specific instructions closely.

I work from home and I’m available to give your pet the attention they deserve while you are away. My home can be their home away from home. I care for all visitors like they are my own and spend tons of quality time with them. I love to take walks and I include at least 2 20-minute walks for each day your pet stays with me.

About: I’m a life long animal lover and have had the opportunity to care for my friends, family, and neighbor’s pets for years whether it was daily check-ins or caring for them while owners were away.

I have a fenced in yard, a great neighborhood for walks, two pet loving kids and a sweet dog of my own to provide your fur baby companionship during their stay.
“I was a new user to Rover and Allison was very helpful to me in setting up my initial service. We also had to change the appointment a bit and she was very flexible. Our one year old doodle had a great time with her dogs and our first use of Rover was very successful.”
About: I have cared for animals my whole life. I've taken care of them when abandoned by the mother, sick, or disabled. I have experience doing basic training. My own pets pile on me the second I sit down. I've never had a pet pass the rainbow bridge before the age of ten. I love animals so much and I will love yours too! **** I like to send many pictures and updates. Please do not feel obligated to reply to each one. Dont worry, I know you are busy**** Taking care of animals is all I want to do. I am a stay-at-home mom and my youngest is 16. I have plenty of time on my hands and love. I have fully fenced yard in a safe neighborhood. I have a pug of my own who doesn't mind other animals. I usually keep him in the bedroom for the first couple hours. I have two inside/outside cats who are also very friendly to people and animals. If I am sitting cats and dogs together, I will usually keep the two separate. Cats upstairs and dogs downstairs. Don't worry about attention. There is plenty to go around! If I'm caring for your babies at your house, I will follow the rules you provide.
About: Our entire family loves to care for animals! I personally have been a responsible pet sitter for over 25 years. While we currently are a pet free home, we have been thankful to have owned and cared for a black lab, yorkie poo (lived until 15), two German Shepards (currently guard dogs in Haiti), rabbits and many goats. While your pet is with me you will receive multiple updates and feel secure in the fact that they are being loved and taken care of just as you would! I would love the privilege to care for your beloved dog while you are away! I am a stay at home homeschool mom and have the ability to care for your animal all day. It is so fun to incorporate dog walks and playtime with your animals in my daily schedule. I can easily crate your fur baby, or they can sleep in a comfy dog bed. We have a large yard, with a small portion fenced. Since we are a homeschool family, we spend a lot of time out doors and I love to take dogs for walks and let them join us outside if that is what your fur baby enjoys. If you need help with drop in services at your own home, I can arrange those services to meet your dogs needs.
About: With 10 years of diverse experience, I’ve cared for puppies, seniors, and exotic pets. I’m very patient, reliable, and studying veterinary science for added expertise. Pet care is a natural part of my routine. I balance it with school, while working part time, making time daily to give pets the attention and love they need. In my home, pets enjoy a safe, fenced backyard and a loving family that adores them. In clients’ homes, I follow routines and provide attentive care.
About: Growing up in a family-owned animal hospital, I developed a strong passion for animal care from an early age and gained hands-on experience working with a wide variety of species. I have personally cared for four dogs and a rabbit, giving me a deep understanding of daily pet care, responsibility, and animal behavior. In addition to personal experience, I worked as a Veterinary Assistant at an animal hospital and shelter throughout my senior year of high school and during my freshman and sophomore years of college. In this role, I assisted with patient care, monitored animals, maintained clean and safe environments, and supported veterinarians and staff with daily operations. I also volunteer at a horse ranch during my free time, where I assist with animal care and ranch responsibilities. My background has allowed me to become comfortable working with animals of all sizes and temperaments while developing strong compassion, communication, and caregiving skills. currently work from home, which allows me to have a flexible schedule and dedicate plenty of time to animal care and attention throughout the day. Pet care is naturally built into my daily routine, and I enjoy maintaining a structured schedule to ensure animals receive consistent care, exercise, and companionship. I have four personal dogs and regularly spend time finding new walking trails, parks, and outdoor areas to take my pack on adventures and exercise outings. Staying active with my dogs is something I genuinely enjoy and prioritize. Safety and trust are extremely important to me when caring for pets, whether in my own home or in a client’s home. Growing up in a family-owned animal hospital and working as a Veterinary Assistant taught me how to properly handle animals, recognize behavioral changes, and maintain clean, safe, and stress-free environments for pets of all sizes and temperaments. I am very organized and dependable, so I like to keep pets on their normal routines as much as possible, including feeding schedules, potty breaks, walks, medications, playtime, and rest. I also make sure pets always have fresh water, a clean environment, and plenty of attention and exercise throughout the day. Because I work from home, I have a flexible schedule and am able to provide consistent supervision, companionship, and care. I have four dogs of my own, so I understand the importance of patience, safety, and treating every animal like family. I also enjoy taking dogs on walks and exploring new trails and outdoor spaces to keep them active and engaged. When caring for pets in a client’s home, I respect their space, carefully follow all instructions, and prioritize communication by providing updates and photos so owners feel comfortable and informed while they are away.

I have experience with all kinds of animals, including small animals and reptiles! I am a volunteer with Auburn University's Natural History Museum and handle and care for multiple different species of animals. I am a full-time college student studying wildlife ecology. Most of my classes are online, so my schedule is open most of the time! In my own home, I treat all my animals like they are my biological children (which they are). They are extremely spoiled, and I love them dearly. I would definitely extend this love towards a client's pet because I love animals, no matter the size or species!

About: I have over 15 years of experience with all types of animals. I have a deep affection for animals and understand the importance of their well-being. Whether it’s a playful dog or a curious cat, I always take the time to understand their unique behaviors and needs. I am attentive and patient, ensuring they feel comfortable, loved, and secure. For pet owners, knowing that I can offer reliable care provides peace of mind—whether it’s a quick check-in, a thoughtful response to any concerns, or simply understanding how to make their pets feel at ease. My love for animals is grounded in the belief that pets deserve kindness, respect, and consistent care. I focus on building a trusting bond with each pet so they feel comfortable and safe in my presence. For pet owners, this trust is invaluable—it means you can leave home knowing that your furry friend is not just in good hands, but in the hands of someone who genuinely loves and cares for them as if they were my own. I will be taking this position fulltime ensuring exercise and playtime, feeding and medication routine, rest and comfort. Incorporating pet care into my daily and weekly routine ensures your pet receives consistent attention, love, and the appropriate level of care to keep them healthy, happy, and safe. Your pet’s well-being is always a priority, and my routine revolves around meeting their physical, emotional, and social needs. My home is pet-proofed to ensure there are no hazards, such as toxic plants, sharp objects, or unsafe areas that your pet could access. All windows and doors are securely closed or locked to prevent any escapes, and I always monitor pets closely when they’re outside to ensure they’re safely contained. Your pet will have a designated, cozy sleeping area that is safe and comfortable, whether it’s their bed, crate, or a spot they’re familiar with. I will ensure that this area is free from distractions and potential dangers, allowing them to rest peacefully and securely. I’ll keep your pet’s daily routine consistent, including feeding times, exercise, and rest. If they’re on medication or need specific care, I will ensure they receive the correct dosage at the right times. Sticking to their usual routine helps minimize stress and makes them feel more at home in my care.

“The stay was perfect. The pickup and drop off was amazing no complications. I got plenty of pictures. I know my dog was still getting properly trained how I train her. I had no worries.”
“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.”

“Leif and Dani were the best. They took very good care of our pup and kept us updated with photos throughout the stay. Very communicative. Would definitely recommend them to anyone looking for a rover in the area!”
“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!”
“Allison always takes such incredible care of our dog, Callie! She sends us updates, pictures and videos throughout her stay and is quick to respond. Callie has the best time with Allison and we always feel so at ease leaving Callie with 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.”

“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!”
“Tori was so good with my 13 year old Yorkie. She gave him lots of attention and engagement and didn’t mind if she needed to take him out more often. He came back calm and sleeping through the night again! Her communication with us was always clear and she kept the pictures coming. She even had a little place in her home specifically for a pet. It was like he was staying at a good friends house who had known him all his life. We are so grateful! Finding a good boarding sitter is hard but we struck gold with Tori!”

About: I have over 15 years of experience with all types of animals. I have a deep affection for animals and understand the importance of their well-being. Whether it’s a playful dog or a curious cat, I always take the time to understand their unique behaviors and needs. I am attentive and patient, ensuring they feel comfortable, loved, and secure. For pet owners, knowing that I can offer reliable care provides peace of mind—whether it’s a quick check-in, a thoughtful response to any concerns, or simply understanding how to make their pets feel at ease. My love for animals is grounded in the belief that pets deserve kindness, respect, and consistent care. I focus on building a trusting bond with each pet so they feel comfortable and safe in my presence. For pet owners, this trust is invaluable—it means you can leave home knowing that your furry friend is not just in good hands, but in the hands of someone who genuinely loves and cares for them as if they were my own. I will be taking this position fulltime ensuring exercise and playtime, feeding and medication routine, rest and comfort. Incorporating pet care into my daily and weekly routine ensures your pet receives consistent attention, love, and the appropriate level of care to keep them healthy, happy, and safe. Your pet’s well-being is always a priority, and my routine revolves around meeting their physical, emotional, and social needs. My home is pet-proofed to ensure there are no hazards, such as toxic plants, sharp objects, or unsafe areas that your pet could access. All windows and doors are securely closed or locked to prevent any escapes, and I always monitor pets closely when they’re outside to ensure they’re safely contained. Your pet will have a designated, cozy sleeping area that is safe and comfortable, whether it’s their bed, crate, or a spot they’re familiar with. I will ensure that this area is free from distractions and potential dangers, allowing them to rest peacefully and securely. I’ll keep your pet’s daily routine consistent, including feeding times, exercise, and rest. If they’re on medication or need specific care, I will ensure they receive the correct dosage at the right times. Sticking to their usual routine helps minimize stress and makes them feel more at home in my care.
