“I left my fur baby with Christopher and Sore for the weekend and after making my reservation, I realized that I had forgotten about my flight being at the Atlanta airport and the hour difference, so needless to say I had move my drop off time up.They were completely accommodating. Once meeting Sore I felt completely at ease, leaving cowboy with them.. I received updates, with pictures every day to see my boy was doing fine. I definitely would rely on their service again in the future..”
About: I’ve had dogs throughout my entire life, but currently I have a 7 year old golden retriever I treat like my child! I’ve always trained all of my dogs myself and participated in many safety training classes regarding training. I am currently in graduate school and unemployed, so mostly it’s just me and my golden at home most days, so I have plenty of spare time to help in your pet’s care! I am open to boarding and house sitting, but also happy to do drop-ins or just walks! I have a big fenced in yard and a sweet golden who loves making new friends to keep your pup company! I have plenty of room to crate your dog if needed.
“Kristi is phenomenal! She took my babies in last minute. She gave them their own huge room with a ginormous cat tree. They were extremely comfortable and had no stress whatsoever. She cared for them as I would, I have no doubt they were comfortable in their home away from home. I never worried about their food or their environment. I would most certainly recommend her and use her again a million times over. Thank you for everything Kristi!!!”
“Michelle and her family were great. This was my first time using rover and I was a little nervous but she sent updates through out and my pup had the best time. Could not recommend Michelle enough.”
“Marcie LOVED spending the week with Kelsey and her dogs. And from the pictures I could tell she was spoiled rotten and we will absolutely book her again. I am hesitant to post a review because I don’t want her all booked up when I need her!”
“We LOVE Jennifer!! She personally text and sent pics everyday along with keeping us posted in the River app. She kept us updated on every aspect of their day. Both Jennifer and her entire family made us so comfortable leaving our fur babies for a week. Will use her again!”
About: I've taken care of animals since I was a child. My dad ran a kennel out of our home, so we always had dogs around,. As a teenager, I earned extra money caring for all kinds of animals, including dogs,. Growing up around animals and caring for them throughout my life has given me plenty of hands-on experience and a genuine love for pets. I work full time from home mostly, but I do travel 3 days a week for 3-4 hours at a time, but I am available to take care of your animals in the mornings and afternoons. I have a dog run attached to the house with a dog door that leads into the laundry room. I also have a large backyard that is not fenced but is great for leashed walks. I have a dog of our own who is friendly with other dogs and not aggressive, but can be crated if needed. I also have an air-conditioned shop/gym where your dog can stay in a crate if you prefer. I can offer several options to help keep your pet comfortable and well cared for.
“Sarah was wonderful! She sent daily pictures, had a great set up at her house for pet care, was friendly, fast to respond and flexible. She was a joy to work with and I will be contacting her again next time.”
“Sarah is a great sitter. She is so friendly and her communication is great. I love that she sent pictures throughout his stay so I could see how Samson was doing. I would recommend her and will definitely want her to keep him again.”
“Barrie was great with our son, Shapley! She did a great job of communicating and sending pictures to make us feel extra comfortable while being away from him. You can tell she really cares about these puppies because she even let Shapley sleep in the bed with her. We would definitely recommend!”
“David and his wife were kind, thoughtful, and communicative throughout our entire trip. They have a beautiful home (with a big fenced in yard for zoomies) that your pets will love. They also sent lots of pictures and let me know how the doggies were doing every day. I would highly recommend David to anyone looking for a reliable and loving dog sitter! 🐶❤️🐶”
“Ashley was awesome with our two Boxer girls! Mags and Su had a blast playing in the big fenced back yard & with her pup and senior Boxer. I honestly think Su is going to have separation anxiety from Freya, she loved playing with her so much!! Ashley sent daily updates with photos/videos. We would highly recommend, especially if you have a Boxer, trusting Ashley with your fur babes!”
“As usual, Ray was a fantastic host and the periodic picture and video updates of the pup’s stay are still one of my fav things that Ray does extremely well!!! 5 starts aren’t enough. 🙂”
“Madison was absolutely AMAZING with Harley. He was loved, well cared for and extremely happy with her and her family. Madison took great care to keep me posted on how Harley was doing. The daily pictures, videos and contact was excellent and gave me great peace while I was on a two-week trip without him. I highly recommend Madison, and she will be seeing Harley again when I am not able to take him with me. What joy to have found her!”

“We have never had a bad booking on Rover BUT Chyra is the best, BAR NONE! She provides great instructions to set expectations. She went ABOVE AND BEYOND treating a hot spot that appeared, she gave me something to read explaining my dog's behavior AND she even went to the store for us to get some extra supplies we needed. If all of that doesn't say enough, i couldn't get Chadwick to leave with me... HOW EMBARRASSING! It goes without saying that we've found our forever sitter because the icing on the top is she's :10 minutes away from us!”
“Rebecca was able to work with my schedule so well. My dog, Beasley, can definitely be high maintenance sometimes, but Rebecca went above and beyond to make sure she was comfortable and happy. She also went out of her way multiple times to send me videos and pictures, keeping me updated throughout my trip so I never doubt how how my sweet dog is doing. If you live in Trussville, she’s truly the only smart option.”

“Catherine has been wonderful with our new puppy, Penny! She offers fun enrichment activities for her and crafts (for us!). She is punctual and offers great communication, we couldn’t recommend her enough!”
“My cat is always so happy when I come home and Elizabeth has been taking care of her. Elizabeth does such a fantastic job. My elderly cat had a bit of stomach upset and threw up after she left a sticky poo outside the litter box. Not only did Elizabeth clean up both messes and let me know about them but she even offered to take my baby to the vet if I felt she needed to go! Then she texted me a few days later to check in on how Kitsune was doing!”
About: As a stay-at-home mom and experienced dog owner, I’m used to managing routines, details, and different personalities. I’m calm, reliable, and very attentive.

I build my day around the pets I’m caring for to ensure they’re visited on time, fed according to their routine, and given attention during each drop-in. I don’t overbook, so each pet gets focused care. I care for pets in their own home by following the owner’s routine as closely as possible. I carefully follow feeding instructions, refresh water, provide potty breaks, playtime, and attention based on the pet’s energy level and personality. I’m comfortable giving oral medications if needed. During each visit, I monitor for any changes in behavior and make sure your home is secure before leaving. I also send photo updates so you can feel confident and at ease while you’re away.

About: I’ve taken care of cats in my family when I was younger but recently I have adopted 2 of my very own kittens who are so friendly and gentle. I’m always aware of what could be dangerous to cats like flowers and other things around the house and avoid buying those products to keep my cats healthy. I love to maintain my cats litter boxes so they are always comfortable using a clean fresh litter stainless steel litter box. My cat once had a cut on his nose and I would always be sure to medicate his wound whenever it was time for his medication so he could recover quickly.
“Kmya was awesome! Very responsive and kind. My cat had a good time and was safe. Kmya sent pictures of my Lil fur baby without being prompted. I'll definitely tell everyone about her!”

About: Hi! I’m Jenn — a lifelong animal lover with years of experience caring for both dogs and cats of all sizes and personalities. I have two fur babies of my own — Moxxi, a sweet lab mix, and Obi, a gentle Staffordshire terrier mix — both rescues with big hearts and friendly personalities. I offer boarding and daycare in my home so your pets can feel safe, loved, and relaxed in their own familiar space. I’m able to provide frequent potty breaks and can tailor visits around your pet’s unique routine. Whether your pet needs extra playtime, medication, or just a little extra TLC, I’ll be there to care for them like one of my own. You’ll receive regular photo updates and quick responses while you’re away — I know how important peace of mind is when it comes to our furry family members. If your pet has special needs, training cues, or specific routines, I’m happy to follow them closely to help your pet feel at ease. Your fur baby will be treated with patience, love, and a little extra spoiling 🐾 My schedule is flexible, which allows me to offer consistent care throughout the day. I’m available for potty breaks, walks, check-ins, and overnight stays depending on what your pet needs. When caring for pets in their own home, I prioritize keeping their routine consistent, their environment calm, and their safety top of mind. I always follow your instructions closely — whether it’s feeding, medications, potty breaks, or playtime — and make sure doors, gates, and crates are secure before I leave. I approach each pet with patience, respect, and lots of love, tuning into their unique personality and needs. Whether your pet is energetic, shy, or somewhere in between, I aim to create a peaceful, predictable experience that helps them feel safe and cared for while you’re away. You’ll also receive regular updates so you always know how your pet is doing — because trust and communication matter just as much as belly rubs. 🐶💛

“Poppy is special, not just to me, but to everyone she meets so traveling with her can be a challenge. I always want to make sure she is cared for in a loving, safe, and comfortable environment. After a last-minute confirmation that I needed to be in Talladega for three days, I was extremely lucky to find Cassandra and her husband. They took wonderful care of Poppy during the day while I worked, and I was still able to have her with me overnight, which made the whole trip so much easier. Cassandra was responsive, communicative, and sent great photo updates, which gave me total peace of mind. I highly recommend her for any pet-sitting needs in the Birmingham area especially if you’re traveling between Birmingham and Talladega. Great experience all around!”
“Libby is so wonderful with my foster pup Mission. Mission is a shy boy around new people, and Libby is so understanding and caring. Mission looks forward to more time with Libby and her pups.”
“I can’t say enough great things about Rachel! They took amazing care of our Miniature Dachshund, Ollie, while we were in town for the Supercross race. It was clear from the start that she truly loves and understands dogs. Ollie was happy, well-cared for, and I received regular updates, which gave me complete peace of mind. Finding someone you can trust with your pet is priceless, and I’m so grateful to have found Rachel. Wished we lived closer so I could continue to use her services. She has the sweetest little family too. We Highly recommend!!!”
About: I've been pet sitting and walking since my freshman year of highschool! I've taken care of so many animals like cats, dogs, rabbits, chickens, and even lizards. I am a true animal lover and genuinely care about their happiness and safety. I can feed, bathe, and keep your animals stimulated for a healthy body and mind. I’m also a canine coach at Dogtopia and have a lot of of hands on experience with dog behavior! I am a college student who needs something flexible with my full course load and that has been a little difficult, so I figured this would be a great job that could give me enough time to also do all my assignments! I make sure the animals I look after are well cared for, and the home I'm in is too if the service calls for it. I'm a strong believer of leaving places better than I found them so I love to tidy up to help your day be a little easier!

About: I’m an animal lover and enthusiast who has grown up taking care of all types of pets and worked in the veterinary medicine industry since I was 17 years old. I’m comfortable with pets of all kinds, and because of my job I am comfortable administering medication of all types, including injections. I’m also very willing to work with the more “troublesome” pets. I’m currently in school getting my veterinary technician certification and need help making some extra money on the side. I hope you consider me to take care of and love your fur babies❤️ I currently work part time at a vet clinic and my Classes are usually done by early afternoon so I will have more than enough time to take care of your fur babies as needed. With my working background I am comfortable with any food restrictions, medications, walking, crating, and care your pet may need to be happy and comfortable. I will make sure to give meds, food, and specific care instructions extra attention as needed.
About: As a stay-at-home mom and experienced dog owner, I’m used to managing routines, details, and different personalities. I’m calm, reliable, and very attentive. I treat every pet as if they were my own and always send updates and photos so owners never have to wonder how their pet is doing. Pet care fits naturally into my daily routine. As a stay-at-home mom, I have a structured but flexible schedule that allows me to plan visits consistently and reliably. I build my day around the pets I’m caring for to ensure they’re visited on time, fed according to their routine, and given attention during each drop-in. I don’t overbook, so each pet gets focused care. I care for pets in their own home by following the owner’s routine as closely as possible. I carefully follow feeding instructions, refresh water, provide potty breaks, playtime, and attention based on the pet’s energy level and personality. I’m comfortable giving oral medications if needed. During each visit, I monitor for any changes in behavior and make sure your home is secure before leaving. I also send photo updates so you can feel confident and at ease while you’re away.
About: I have experience in vet care for 3 years. I have been raised on a farm my whole life taking care of large animals of every kind.

About: I have 6 years experience as a veterinary technician and boarding facility. I can administer medications and provide a stress free environment for your babies while you’re gone. I am self employed. I run a horse boarding facility and teach riding lessons. I am usually out of my home for 4 hours Monday to Friday and have a lot of freedom to travel to other places to do home visits. I have a reputable business and care deeply for all animals. I have 2 friendly dogs, and 2 cats. We do not have a fenced yard yet but I can provide home visits to care for your babies!
About: I have worked in the veterinary field for over a decade, and in animal rescue before that. I grew up in a household with an array of pets- birds, rodents, fish, dogs, cats, rabbits- and have had dogs, cats, and a chicken on my own. Even in college, I had a pet fish because I missed having a critter companion! I love senior pets (the oldies are the goodies), pets with disabilities, one eye, no teeth, etc. I provide pet sitting in your home (no overnights), so your pets can stay where they are most comfortable! I am conscious about locking up your home, sending an update and/or photo of your pet, and following your instructions for your pet’s care. I can let dogs out in your own yard, or we can take a walk around the block. I will spend some time cuddling or playing with your cats (if they like company!). **Feel free to message me with any questions if there is something missing on my profile, or if you would like to verify specific dates or pet care services. My schedule is fairly flexible, and I am typically available over holidays and weekends. I can accommodate once a day visits, and sometimes can come by twice a day. I double check that all pets are accounted for prior to leaving your home - and will notify you if I did not see a pet during my visit. Since cats are super adept at hiding, I like to know their typical hangout spots before you leave so that I can look for them there. I verify that I have secured my entrance/exit points and will send photos or videos locking up so that you can also share this peace of mind.

About: Hi! I’ve always had a deep love for animals, especially after caring for my senior pup in their final years. That experience taught me patience, attentiveness, and how important it is to make pets feel safe and comfortable. I now enjoy caring for all pets (except snakes!) and I’m happy to match their energy with walks, playtime, and lots of attention.

About: I’ve always had a deep love for animals. Growing up, I was the go-to person in my family for all things animal care. In 2019, I adopted the first animal of my own, a Goldendoodle named Cooper. After adopting him my love for animals grew tenfold and I decided animal care is my passion. Since then we have also adopted a Poodle named Callie and two tabby cats named Oliver & Kevin. The love I have for these animals is just indescribable and it’s what made me want to dive into pet care and make this my everyday job. Animals are my true passion and I dream of one day owning my own boarding and daycare facility. I’ve gained valuable experience working as a manager at a local daycare and boarding facility, where I cared for a wide variety of pets.

Whether it’s daily walks, overnight care, or just providing companionship, I’m here to give your pets the attention, love, and care they deserve. I’m experienced in all aspects of animal care and take great pride in ensuring each pet feels comfortable and well-cared for. Whether your pet has a unique feeding schedule, requires daily medication, or whatever the case may be, I’m here to provide the individualized care they deserve. I understand how important it is for your pet to feel safe and secure, and I’m dedicated to giving them the attention, consistency, and love they need.
About: I have had pets my whole life, and I have gained experience in caring for pets as I have gotten older. I have experience in feeding and walks.

I strive to ensure that the pets I take care of feel safe and comfortable with me as their caregiver. Making them feel safe in their environment helps their nerves.

“I left my fur baby with Christopher and Sore for the weekend and after making my reservation, I realized that I had forgotten about my flight being at the Atlanta airport and the hour difference, so needless to say I had move my drop off time up.They were completely accommodating. Once meeting Sore I felt completely at ease, leaving cowboy with them.. I received updates, with pictures every day to see my boy was doing fine. I definitely would rely on their service again in the future..”

“Kristi is phenomenal! She took my babies in last minute. She gave them their own huge room with a ginormous cat tree. They were extremely comfortable and had no stress whatsoever. She cared for them as I would, I have no doubt they were comfortable in their home away from home. I never worried about their food or their environment. I would most certainly recommend her and use her again a million times over. Thank you for everything Kristi!!!”
“Michelle and her family were great. This was my first time using rover and I was a little nervous but she sent updates through out and my pup had the best time. Could not recommend Michelle enough.”
“Marcie LOVED spending the week with Kelsey and her dogs. And from the pictures I could tell she was spoiled rotten and we will absolutely book her again. I am hesitant to post a review because I don’t want her all booked up when I need her!”
“Sarah was wonderful! She sent daily pictures, had a great set up at her house for pet care, was friendly, fast to respond and flexible. She was a joy to work with and I will be contacting her again next time.”
“Barrie was great with our son, Shapley! She did a great job of communicating and sending pictures to make us feel extra comfortable while being away from him. You can tell she really cares about these puppies because she even let Shapley sleep in the bed with her. We would definitely recommend!”
“David and his wife were kind, thoughtful, and communicative throughout our entire trip. They have a beautiful home (with a big fenced in yard for zoomies) that your pets will love. They also sent lots of pictures and let me know how the doggies were doing every day. I would highly recommend David to anyone looking for a reliable and loving dog sitter! 🐶❤️🐶”
“Ashley was awesome with our two Boxer girls! Mags and Su had a blast playing in the big fenced back yard & with her pup and senior Boxer. I honestly think Su is going to have separation anxiety from Freya, she loved playing with her so much!! Ashley sent daily updates with photos/videos. We would highly recommend, especially if you have a Boxer, trusting Ashley with your fur babes!”
“As usual, Ray was a fantastic host and the periodic picture and video updates of the pup’s stay are still one of my fav things that Ray does extremely well!!! 5 starts aren’t enough. 🙂”
“Madison was absolutely AMAZING with Harley. He was loved, well cared for and extremely happy with her and her family. Madison took great care to keep me posted on how Harley was doing. The daily pictures, videos and contact was excellent and gave me great peace while I was on a two-week trip without him. I highly recommend Madison, and she will be seeing Harley again when I am not able to take him with me. What joy to have found her!”

“We have never had a bad booking on Rover BUT Chyra is the best, BAR NONE! She provides great instructions to set expectations. She went ABOVE AND BEYOND treating a hot spot that appeared, she gave me something to read explaining my dog's behavior AND she even went to the store for us to get some extra supplies we needed. If all of that doesn't say enough, i couldn't get Chadwick to leave with me... HOW EMBARRASSING! It goes without saying that we've found our forever sitter because the icing on the top is she's :10 minutes away from us!”
“Rebecca was able to work with my schedule so well. My dog, Beasley, can definitely be high maintenance sometimes, but Rebecca went above and beyond to make sure she was comfortable and happy. She also went out of her way multiple times to send me videos and pictures, keeping me updated throughout my trip so I never doubt how how my sweet dog is doing. If you live in Trussville, she’s truly the only smart option.”
“Harold was fantastic with my two girls! He helped me out when I needed daycare last minute and I loved the pictures I got throughout the day. Would absolutely book again!”
