“I had a really great experience. I would definitely book again. This was my first time using Rover and also my dog’s first time being with someone outside a family and I believe booking with them allowed him to also grow and develop. This was a great experience”
“Katie is an amazing pet sitter. She was so attentive, kind and interactive with my dog. My dog had great walks and fun playing with her dog. I will use her services in the future.”
“Samantha was amazing and so easy to work with! She responded so quickly to my messages and was always kind! Our Ellie (golden retriever) had the best time playing with Samantha’s golden Blair. We definitely recommend Samantha and look forward to booking with her in the future.”
“We feel like Laura and Spirit have become pals. Laura treats her like her furry roommate. We plan to leave Spirit with her anytime that it works out. She has a true love for and knowledge of dogs, that is very obvious in talking to her. We would highly recommend her for your dog sitting needs!”
“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!”
“Allie was so great with our puppy! Her three dogs helped ours feel right at home while we were away! She was super friendly and sent us lots of picture updates every day! Will definitely leave our dog in her care again!”
“I was so happy that I chose Annie for my lab’s stay. Her kids enjoyed fetching and I got video updates throughout the weekend. They also live in a nice neighborhood with a big backyard. If anyone is in need of pet sitting this is a great place and your dog will get excellent care!”
“Brian and Sue are still wonderful and Maggie loves them! She took to them immediately! We were so comfortable and confident that Maggie would be well loved and cared for, and she was! We’ve already booked Brian for another 4-day stay.”
“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!”
“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: I’ve always loved animals and have experience caring for both dogs and cats. I had a cat who was part of my family for 16 years, which taught me a lot about caring for an older pet with patience, love, and attention to their individual needs. I currently continue to care for dogs and cats, including my friends’ pets and my sister’s cat. I’m comfortable with feeding, walks, playtime, companionship, and following each pet’s specific routine and instructions. I understand that every pet has a different personality and needs, and I take the time to make them feel safe and comfortable. I’m responsible, attentive, and respectful of both pets and their homes. Whether your pet is energetic, shy, playful, or older, I’ll treat them with the same care and affection I would give my own. I have a flexible schedule that allows me to dedicate plenty of time and attention to pets. I can fit pet care, walks, playtime, and check-ins into my daily routine while making sure each pet receives consistent and personalized care. My apartment is quite spacious, with three floors, giving pets plenty of room to feel comfortable and move around. My complex also has a designated dog park, which is great for walks, playtime, and exercise. I provide a safe, clean, and welcoming environment and always follow each pet’s routine and specific needs.
“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!”
About: I’ve been a “dog person” (personally & now professionally) all my life, and have experience with big and small pups of all breeds, ages, and energy levels. I work at the vet school and have lots of home/yard space, time, and a social dog of my own that would happily welcome your fur baby! On weekdays, I either wfh or go into the office just 5mins away, so I’m always able to come home midday for potty breaks. I’m an active dog mom & love to walk around the neighborhood or nearby trails, but also have a large private fenced yard and a million toys if your dog prefers to get exercise that way. I also love & welcome the couch potatoes - all furniture is open for lounging and cuddles. I have been fostering & training dogs for the last 15 years and have basic medical training - so if your pup has any special considerations just reach out to discuss! My life pretty much revolves around my own dog, with a regular feeding/potty/play/lounging schedule, so guests would fit right into that routine. My schedule is very flexible & pups are never left alone for more than a few hours at a time. I have a fenced in yard with plenty of space to zoom and sniff around. I have a ~2yr old mixed breed dog (Mac) who is extremely social and loves making people/dog friends. He is playful, but often goes to dog parks and seems to adapt to whatever energy level the other dogs are, so he’s adaptable & loves chill time just the same.
“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.”
About: I am a freshman majoring in Pre-Vet so I am very familiar with animals especially dogs. I grew up with dogs, have a dog of my own at home, sitting, walking, training, puppies, etc. I am currently a freshman student at Auburn but my school schedule is very flexible and I have many gaps throughout my days. My busiest day this semester is Wednesday. I always treat the house like it’s my own. I am a very clean, responsible, trustworthy person who cares about how my home feels, looks, and making sure it is comfortable for everyone. I prefer pets staying in my house.
“Rebecca was awesome!! First time using rover and was fortunate to find the best sitter in our area. Rebecca has great communication and I can tell Bruno had a great time and was well cared for.”
“Shaina did absolutely amazing. Unfortunately my dogs didn't make things easy for her, but she went above and beyond to make things as comfortable as possible for them. I highly recommend her for keeping your fur babies safe, sound, and happy while you're away.”
About: I have had my beagle for almost 6 years and one of my favorite things to do is take her to cute parks I find. If you know anything about beagles, you know they are very curious dogs who arent that great at walks - so I am experienced in taking care of slightly difficult dogs and love them regardless!! I am currently a biomedical sciences student at Auburn university. With my current schedule, I am in class until 1:00 on Mon/Wed and from 12:30-4:00 Tues/Thurs. Fridays I am unavailable until 5:00pm. I have a fenced in yard and an open courtyard nearby. My family dog has a lot of energy, so I am used to playing lots of games to get some of that energy out!
“Carter accommodated our last minute request and had the perfect set up for our dog. They were responsive and seemed to treat our dog as their own. We look forward to having him and his wife help us in the future!”

“This is the second time I’ve used Kailyn to watch Coco. This time she was also house sitting instead of just doing drop ins. She did such a great job! She left literally zero remnants of being here! It was so sweet for her to clean up. Would highly recommend.”
“Five stars isn't enough! I left my cat, Berlioz, in Jordyn’s care and she went completely above and beyond. Berlioz can be a bit particular with new people, but she instantly put him at ease. I received detailed daily updates, awesome photos, and complete peace of mind knowing he was being so well taken care of. She didn't just cover the basics like feeding and litter box duty—she spent genuine quality time with him and gave him extra affection. I came home to a super happy, relaxed cat. I’ll definitely be rebooking next time I'm away!”
About: I’ve spent years caring for cats of all ages, personalities, and backgrounds through hands-on cat rescue and fostering. My experience includes working with Rescue Kitties of Hawaii and Kat Charities from 2020–2024, where I helped care for cats and kittens with a wide range of temperaments and needs. I’m comfortable with everything from playful, social kittens to shy or nervous cats who need patience and time to feel comfortable. I understand that cats have very different personalities, and I’m happy to follow their lead—whether they want lots of attention and playtime or would rather have their space while I quietly take care of their needs. During visits, I can provide feeding and fresh water, litter box cleaning, playtime, enrichment, brushing, cuddles and companionship. I also pay attention to changes in eating, drinking, litter box habits and behavior so you know how your cat is doing while you’re away. As a longtime cat owner, foster and rescue volunteer, I know how important it is to have someone you can trust in your home with your pets. I’ll treat your cats with the same patience and care I’d want for my own—and I’m happy to send photos and updates at every visit so you can relax while you’re away. 🐾
“She is so sweet to our fur baby! She is always on time and gives us great report cards of her visit. I would definitely keep using her as long as she wants to visit! I highly recommend her to watch over your furbaby!”
About: I love talking with animals and making them feel loved. I want you to know your pets safety is my priority second would be my safety. I love to spread love to pets.

About: I’ve had cats since I was a baby. I had a diabetic cat who also had seizures. I nursed her basically back to health and she lived 5 more years after her first seizure. She was 19 years old when she finally passed. My whole family has had cats all my life. Every fur animal has a different personality that you just have to learn.
“A lovely house with attentive charming owners who let our kitties choose their own rooms. They have a friendly kitty of their own who got on well with our cats and a golden doodle who was also gentle and friendly. Great photos of the cats every day kept us in the loop and reassured.”
About: I’ve been around cats for about 10 years and have a deep appreciation for their unique personalities, routines, and boundaries. I understand that some cats are playful and social, while others need more time, space, and patience to feel comfortable. I had a cat named Nacho for 4 years, and that experience taught me how important it is to respect a cat’s independence while still giving them the care, attention, and affection they need. I’m comfortable with feeding routines, fresh water, litter box cleaning, playtime, giving cats space when needed, and providing calm companionship. My approach with cats is gentle, patient, and observant. I pay attention to body language, mood changes, eating habits, and comfort levels so I can make sure each cat feels safe and cared for. Whether your cat loves cuddles, wand toys, quiet company, or simply needs someone reliable to check in and keep their routine consistent, I’ll care for them with kindness and respect. I know how much trust it takes to let someone care for your pet, and I’ll communicate clearly so you feel comfortable while you’re away.
About: I’ve been around and caring for dogs for more than 20 years. My love and experience with dogs started at home—my dad was a dog trainer who worked with his own dogs as well as dogs belonging to friends and family. Growing up around that experience taught me how to understand canine behavior, respect each dog’s individual personality, and provide patient, attentive care. I genuinely enjoy spending time with dogs, and I especially love being outdoors. Hiking, nature trails, and exploring the outdoors are some of my favorite things to do, so when appropriate, I love taking the dogs in my care along for an enjoyable walk or adventure. I believe dogs benefit from both physical exercise and mental stimulation, and I always want their time with me to be safe, positive, and enjoyable. Pet care fits well into my schedule, and I’m available Sunday through Thursday from 9 AM to 5 PM EST. I enjoy having a flexible schedule that allows me to give each pet plenty of attention, exercise, companionship, and personalized care. I provide pet care at the owner’s home through dog walks and drop-in visits. Check-ins can include potty breaks, feeding, fresh water, playtime, and companionship. I am not currently offering overnight stays, boarding, or pet sitting in my home.
“Alex and Diane are great people and took amazing care of my animal! Super sweet and was very caring of what my cat needed, and very knowledged on top of that. Very happy with them.”
About: I have experience with puppies and senior dogs. I have been caring for pets my entire life and have a lot of experience with dogs. 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.

This job allows me to stay home with my children and not impulse buy a dog 😂 I’d be honored to have the opportunity to watch your pet for you or lend a helping hand on a busy day! I have assisted in caring for many kinds of dogs and cats since I was young. I’ve had and cared for everything from elderly micro Yorkies to large, wild Great Dane puppies!

We have a back patio for them to relax and get fresh air and sunshine and plenty of green space to go walking! I’m also happy to accommodate to your pet’s usual routine.
About: I know every pet is different! I trained my own dog from puppyhood and treat every dog I care for with the same patience, love, and attention! I work from home, so I'm able to give pets lots of attention throughout the day! I only leave occasionally for work estimates, usually for just 1–2 hours, so your pet won't be left alone for long! Whether in my home or yours, I'll care for your pet like my own! I'll follow their routine, provide plenty of love, playtime, walks, and regular updates so you can have peace of mind while you're away!
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.
“Allie has been amazing and so accommodating when I need a last minute sitter! My dog loves her daycare time with Allie’s dogs and I always receive updates/pictures. Highly recommend!”
“What a great experience! Annie & her family treated my Boykin Spaniel like family! They were flexible as our plans changed due to college drop off & went above & beyond to help with some challenges on timing & logistics. Our dog was well cared for by a very loving family!”
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: 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.
“Top notch! Our 1 year old Boxer loved his stay with Allison and Regan and their pups. The next day he was missing all his friends and, from the pictures, it’s evident that he received plenty of cuddles and playtime. Allison was extremely helpful and understanding when our return was delayed. I felt safe with Sam under her care.”

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.
About: I have been around pets my whole life. I love taking care of animals and would treat your pets like they were my very own! I currently work as a registered nurse three 12-hour night shifts per week at East Alabama Health. This gives me plenty of availability throughout the rest of the week to care for your pets and give them lots of attention! My schedule varies from week to week, so I’m happy to coordinate with you and find days and times that work best for you:) Whether I’m caring for your pet in my home or yours, my goal is to make them feel as comfortable and loved as possible while keeping their normal routine! In your home, I’ll follow your instructions for feeding, walks, potty breaks etc. and I’ll always be respectful of what your expectations are:) I live in a walkable neighborhood with lots of space to explore and plenty of nearby parks and walking trails, so your pup will have lots of opportunities to get outside if that is needed!
About: I absolutely love animals and can’t wait to love on your pumpkin like they are my own! I will attend to all details no matter how in-depth they are and make sure your pets and home are content and safe when you return! Our pets are our world and we will soon be volunteering at CHS. I would love to see more fur babies in my day to day life! I have a very flexible work schedule and can take my break at any time. This allows me to help most times of day, provided that daytime care visits aren’t too long in duration. For house sitting, I will not be able to spend the night. However, I will ensure your pets get all the care and time they deserve. I will not be able to care for pets in my own home. Unfortunately we are not optimally set up for this with a member of the household with a dog allergy and lack of a fenced in yard.

About: This is my job. I know how hard it can be to leave your fur babies when you go outta town and I want to be able to provide comfort and care for your animals while you are gone. I love and care for animals and their wellbeing. I believe finding someone good and kind for your fur babies matters. I make sure they get plenty of pets and attention. I don’t let their water run out and refill as much as possible especially during summer. I am understanding and patient with animals especially if they have high energy and need to be outside a bit more than others to get some exercise/ energy out. I care about animals period. I have a pretty big range of experience with different dogs. I’ve taken care of multiple dogs at a time different sizes and ages. I’ve taken care of a diabetic cat (my baby she lived a very long life 19 years) I have taken care of a diabetic dog also.

I also make taking care of your fur babies a priority. Thank you for choosing me! I can house sit and stay overnights if needed. I will make taking care of your fur babies a priority and treat them as if their were mine. (I have a husky) If you do a drop in visit I will be there longer than just 30 minutes. I don’t like to leave my baby for more than 4-5 hours max. That’s why I offer going to drop in 3 times. I don’t mind traveling to make sure your fur baby is taken care of throughout the day. I can take your fur baby walking giving them water and some love. If you have a fenced in yard I will still go and watch them outside you never know what could happen. I will update you as much as you would like.
About: I have always loved animals. I started walking my neighbors dog when I was 15. I have dog sat for many ranging from family, friends, neighbors, and mutuals. I am a recent Auburn grad and do not currently have a full time job. Not many jobs offer me a flexible schedule like this does and I am trying to save money and keep my self busy post-grad. I am always available unless otherwise noted on my calendar. I do not have a dog in Auburn, only when I travel to Foley to stay with family is there a dog in the house. I will abide by the owners preferences but I don’t promise I won’t fall in love with your dog. I love all shapes and sizes of dogs and will take care of them as they are my own. I will give your dog as much attention as he or she wants.

About: Was a human nurse, now I'm a full time student. I have raised two children and I own dog and two cats, caring is in my nature. I am a furgrandma to two beautiful amazing dogs. I work M-F at an office job with flexibility. This allows me lots of freedom, my kids are 19, and 21 so no restrictions at home. I do work M-F, 8-5pm. I can leave work if need be to check on your pet more often then just the walk, and of course if I'm staying the night; I’ll be right over after work. I will follow your instructions to the T, as long as it's safe for the animal and me! I want your furbaby to feel as comfortable as possible.
About: I’ve been around and caring for dogs for more than 20 years. My love and experience with dogs started at home—my dad was a dog trainer who worked with his own dogs as well as dogs belonging to friends and family. Growing up around that experience taught me how to understand canine behavior, respect each dog’s individual personality, and provide patient, attentive care. I genuinely enjoy spending time with dogs, and I especially love being outdoors. Hiking, nature trails, and exploring the outdoors are some of my favorite things to do, so when appropriate, I love taking the dogs in my care along for an enjoyable walk or adventure. I believe dogs benefit from both physical exercise and mental stimulation, and I always want their time with me to be safe, positive, and enjoyable. Pet care fits well into my schedule, and I’m available Sunday through Thursday from 9 AM to 5 PM EST. I enjoy having a flexible schedule that allows me to give each pet plenty of attention, exercise, companionship, and personalized care. I provide pet care at the owner’s home through dog walks and drop-in visits. Check-ins can include potty breaks, feeding, fresh water, playtime, and companionship. I am not currently offering overnight stays, boarding, or pet sitting in my home.
“Thanks you so much for your help! I am told the dogs love you. We would definitely recommend you to any other families and I hope we can have you help the dogs again in the future!”
About: I have had animals since I was a little baby. I love animals and believe they should be treated with love and care. I will provide the right care your animal is needed, just like if it was my own pet. I work full time Monday-Thursday from 8-3pm. I have plenty of time to take care of animals and I will do everything in my power to make sure your animal is well taken care of. I have a safe environment in my home. I live in a safe household and enough space for your animals to roam and play as they would need. I also have security cameras as well to provide extra protection.
About: I've always been with dogs ever since I was born taking care of the dogs is my greatest joy in life they deserve all my love. I have also went to school to become a dog trainer.

I have a big fenced in yard and two pups who are mushes, one only gets long with dogs and would love a friend, the otherwill get along nicely with others. I can crate dogs if necessary.

“Katie is an amazing pet sitter. She was so attentive, kind and interactive with my dog. My dog had great walks and fun playing with her dog. I will use her services in the future.”
“Samantha was amazing and so easy to work with! She responded so quickly to my messages and was always kind! Our Ellie (golden retriever) had the best time playing with Samantha’s golden Blair. We definitely recommend Samantha and look forward to booking with her in the future.”
“We feel like Laura and Spirit have become pals. Laura treats her like her furry roommate. We plan to leave Spirit with her anytime that it works out. She has a true love for and knowledge of dogs, that is very obvious in talking to her. We would highly recommend her for your dog sitting needs!”

“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!”
About: I’ve been a “dog person” (personally & now professionally) all my life, and have experience with big and small pups of all breeds, ages, and energy levels. I work at the vet school and have lots of home/yard space, time, and a social dog of my own that would happily welcome your fur baby! On weekdays, I either wfh or go into the office just 5mins away, so I’m always able to come home midday for potty breaks. I’m an active dog mom & love to walk around the neighborhood or nearby trails, but also have a large private fenced yard and a million toys if your dog prefers to get exercise that way. I also love & welcome the couch potatoes - all furniture is open for lounging and cuddles. I have been fostering & training dogs for the last 15 years and have basic medical training - so if your pup has any special considerations just reach out to discuss! My life pretty much revolves around my own dog, with a regular feeding/potty/play/lounging schedule, so guests would fit right into that routine. My schedule is very flexible & pups are never left alone for more than a few hours at a time. I have a fenced in yard with plenty of space to zoom and sniff around. I have a ~2yr old mixed breed dog (Mac) who is extremely social and loves making people/dog friends. He is playful, but often goes to dog parks and seems to adapt to whatever energy level the other dogs are, so he’s adaptable & loves chill time just the same.
About: I am a freshman majoring in Pre-Vet so I am very familiar with animals especially dogs. I grew up with dogs, have a dog of my own at home, sitting, walking, training, puppies, etc. I am currently a freshman student at Auburn but my school schedule is very flexible and I have many gaps throughout my days. My busiest day this semester is Wednesday. I always treat the house like it’s my own. I am a very clean, responsible, trustworthy person who cares about how my home feels, looks, and making sure it is comfortable for everyone. I prefer pets staying in my house.
“Rebecca was awesome!! First time using rover and was fortunate to find the best sitter in our area. Rebecca has great communication and I can tell Bruno had a great time and was well cared for.”
“Shaina did absolutely amazing. Unfortunately my dogs didn't make things easy for her, but she went above and beyond to make things as comfortable as possible for them. I highly recommend her for keeping your fur babies safe, sound, and happy while you're away.”
“Carter accommodated our last minute request and had the perfect set up for our dog. They were responsive and seemed to treat our dog as their own. We look forward to having him and his wife help us in the future!”
About: I’ve had a variety of animals growing up. There was never a time in my household where i did not have a pet. I am great with animals, they seem to love me as much as I do them! I attend Auburn university. I usually have 1-3 classes a day, but I am done by 12pm. I am available between 12-6! What better way to spend my free time! I have a strong love for animals. I am very passionate about them. If i were to watch your fur baby, I would play with them, make sure they eat well, take them out for fresh air! I even turn on cartoons that they can see the colors with!
“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!”
About: What sets me apart from other sitters is my hands-on experience caring for and training my own pets. I grew up with two dogs and a cat, and now that I live on my own, I have two cats and a dog of my own. I personally trained my dog, so I’m comfortable working with basic obedience, reinforcing routines, and helping pets learn through patience and positive reinforcement. I understand that every pet has a different personality, routine, and comfort level, and I take the time to get to know what makes each animal feel safe and happy. Whether I’m caring for an energetic puppy, a playful dog, or a more independent cat, I’m attentive to their individual needs and treat every pet like they’re my own. I’m also comfortable maintaining feeding schedules, administering basic care, keeping pets active and entertained, and giving them plenty of attention and affection while their owners are away. I am recently post-grad and work as a server full time. My schedule is very flexible and my availability is open across the week! We are closed on sundays as well! I ensure a safe and happy environment for your pets to have a fun time whilst making sure theyre staying active and playing all the time!
