“First, let me say I was so nervous about boarding my kitten, Pixie that I seriously considered canceling my entire trip. However, after meeting Meaghan & Johnny, I had no worries that she would be well taken care of. I was not disappointed!!! Between the messages, pictures, and videos of her stay, I could tell that she was being treated like one of their own. What more could I ask for? I will never consider leaving her with anyone else!! Thank you, Meaghan & Johnny!”
“These two not only truly love dogs, they treat all of their guests like their own Murphy had such a good time the first time there that he whined and barked happily as we drove close the second time. He loves the other dogs, and we plan on boarding with them again in the future. Such a sweet couple.”
“So happy with the care and love Kelly gave to my girls while I was away on a trip. She was so thorough and asked lots of questions to make sure she had everything she needed for the girls stay with her. She sent me pictures and videos every day. I can tell Willow and Juniper had a very nice time. Thank you so much for taking such good care of my babies!”
“Steven has taken great care of our dogs on a few separate occasions now. He sends daily photos and updates which our family loves to see when we are away. We are thankful to have found him!”
“Brett was fantastic with our pet. He kept him healthy, happy, and safe. He sent us updates and was quick to respond when we messaged him. We will definitely use him again with the situation arises.”
“Kira was absolutely amazing with my dog Nova! My dog has a lot of energy and Kira was up for the challenge. She really made me feel OK leaving my fur baby. I loved that she sent me photos while I was on vacation! I know my dog was properly taken care of and loved just like at home. I highly recommend her as she is wonderful with all animals and I will definitely be using her in the future!”
“We were so lucky to have found Melanie and Stella. Our Zoey is nearly 17 and has some health issues. Melanie provided excellent care and sent daily updates while we were on travel. Zoey and Stella got along well. We will definitely try to book again with Melanie in the future.”
“Amber was very accommodating with drop off and pick up times. She took special care of our senior dog, administering medicine and being understanding when he decided to urine mark. She was good with communication. Both dogs seemed happy. We would use her services again.”
“This our second time booking with Barbara and Keith. They are great at caring for our senior dog. We appreciate the updates and photos they share with us during our dog’s stay. We definitely recommend them to anyone that is needing care for a pet! ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️”
“Return customer and very happy with the outstanding boarding Kristin provides to our two fur babies! Our pups are happy, healthy and exhausted from all the playtime they get when we pick them up. Highly recommended!!”
“Our boys became an extension to Sean and Dianna from the start. They loved playing in the pool and making new friends so much that I don’t think they missed us at all! And I wouldn’t want it any other way!!! We were provided updates of their happenings throughout the day by pictures, videos, and messages. It was so comforting to have absolute peace of mind that my pups were happy. I will 100% be booking with them again.”
“Dalia is outstanding and our go-to sitter in town. She lovingly cared for our two girls and they feel at home with her. Dalia’s experience and personal care is apparent in the way she handles our pups. She gave us great peace of mind while we were away. Can’t rate her high enough!”
“Kelsey and her family were so great watching our dog during our extended vacation! Our dog came home happy and exhausted! They were very communicative throughout the stay and sent pictures. They also promptly dropped off and picked up our dog to the minute they said they would. Would definitely trust and leave our dog with Kelsey again!”
“My husband and I are so glad we found Brittany! We are new to Rover and were a little hesitant at first but after meeting Brittany, we knew our babies would be in great hands! She was very responsive, she sent us pictures with updates everyday and our pups looked as happy as ever! I would definitely recommend Brittany and will definitely be using her again!”

“Mollie took excellent care of our fur babies! She sent so many reassuring pictures. We are new to the area and don’t know anyone but she was absolutely wonderful! We will definitely be asking her to watch them anytime we need to go away from home overnight!”
About: I have bottle fed several litters of kittens, as well as nursed several cats back to health for rehoming. I am also a foster fail of 2 cats, with 5 in my home. I love them all, sweet or spicy, I have the energy to pet or play all day!
“Melanie did a great job taking care of our Allie cat while we were away. This was our first time using Rover, and Melanie proved to be responsible, reliable and caring - her daily updates allowed us to relax and not worry about home. We’ll definitely book her again!”
“We loved having Valerie stay with our pets while we were on vacation. She was so good with our cat and it was so nice knowing they were in good hands while we were away. I will definitely book with her again for our next vacation!”
About: Have been a pet owner all of my life, and experience with all types of animals. I just recently moved to the Huntsville area and have a fenced in backyard on 10 acres of land, toys and a dog of my own who loves playtime and friends. I will have an open schedule and will be home full-time. My schedule will be very flexible, I am looking for one time sitter needs or ongoing scheduled needs. I have a large house with plenty of space for indoor relaxing, and a fenced backyard for exercise & playtime. I have one medium sized dog (Labrador Retriever mix) who is very friendly, both to people and dogs.
“Juyne is a great sitter, very dependable and my cats seem to love her visits. My cats have been showing signs of stress when we go away for the weekend and so far using Juyne they are doing a lot better.”
About: I’ve been an animal lover and cat owner my whole life. I currently have one older girl of my own. I understand that cats are sensitive to changes in routine and that it can be stressful to be away from them. I’m very intentional about communication and keeping you updated with messages and photos, so you always know how your cat is doing. I’m patient, attentive, and respectful of each cat’s personality — whether they’re a social star or prefer their space. I also work from home, which gives me flexibility and allows me to be responsive and present for your cat’s needs.
About: I have several older/disabled cats which require aid in mobility, cosequin, and semi frequent vet visits for various issues that arise. So I have plenty of experience in caring for kitty cats that need extra help. So if you have a senior cat that needs extra help you're in good hands.
About: Hey y’all! I was raised on a farm responsible for taking care of all animals shapes and sizes since I was young. Love and care My times have changed unfortunately and now work from 7am-3:30am mid day visits I unfortunately cannot make unless it is a weekend visit. Sorry for the inconvenience. I pay attention to details and very communicative. Can and will send pictures and updates of your pet(s) Making sure they get a lot of love an attention and earning trust. I also know not to overstep if a specific pet wants space
“Meaghan and Johnny kept our sweet kitty Ozzy while we went on vacation. I received multiple pictures and videos letting me know he was doing well. I trusted them 100% with our little guy and they allowed us to have a wonderful vacation without any worries!”
About: Since I was a child, I've been raising and taking care of animals of all shapes and sizes. I've nursed plenty of bottle babies- kittens, puppies and even rodents and farm animals. I've worked at the Chattanooga Zoo and volunteered at shelters across the country, so there's nothing you can throw at me that I haven't seen before! I currently work full-time 5 days a week, 8-10 hour shifts, so I have to schedule around that. The rest of my day will be dedicated to your pet(s)! I love matching a pet's energy and I'm happy hanging out on the couch or running circles in the yard- whatever the situation calls for!
About: I am a 30 year old female who loves all animals. I have grown up with animals all my life and have owned many of my own pets. I very much like spending time walking around or just sitting and gaming and cuddling with my pets. I am able to train puppies as i have owned a 3 time grand champion vizsla, though I am no professional I was just taught so i could show my dog. I enjoy spending time in the woods and or in the ocean just being about in the beauty of nature. I hope and pray to be able to meet your little or big angel because that is what a pet is an ANGEL and a beloved family member. please enjoy your day! it is my life. i do this for my job, but i do love all animals so i am more than happy to do this. im very patient and willing to just let them get to know me. i follow things to a tee that way your pet gets the care it needs
About: I have been the designated dog and cat sitter in my family since I was 13 years old and have loved it! I’ve always had a deep love for animals and will be going to Auburn for their College of Veterinary Medicine in the Fall of this year. I currently work as a veterinary technician and have four years of experience. If any of your pets have needs such as medicating, or any special behavioral instructions I should be able to handle them. Pet sitting and dog walking would be a great way for me to earn a couple extra dollars a month, and be able to help out the animals who need walks throughout the day and daily care when their owners are away. I’m working part time at my current job and a full time student. I’m completely free during the weekends to do daily walks and play dates, but during the week I’m limited to morning check ins and evening only play time. With my own dog at home I crate him while there is no one home due his tendency to get into things he shouldn’t. If you prefer your dog to be crated while no one is home I’m perfectly okay with doing so as long as I’m allowed to take off any collars they may have on to prevent snagging while away. I also like to provide a bowl of water with the dog inside of the crate to allow them to hydrate while I’m away. If you would prefer your dog to not be crated then I’m okay with that as well.

“Meaghan and her family did such a great job with Kylo! He had the best day playing with the kids and their pets. It was so good to know he was having a blast and being taken care of while we were gone for a long day at the ball field!”
“Shume is the BEST. My girl Lulu took to her almost right away. Also, we had a change to her care plan on the fly, and was able to work with our schedule change! Would definitely send Lulu there again!”
About: I’ve been an animal lover and pet owner all my life and currently have two dogs and one cat I adore so I know how stressful it can be to be away from your pets. I’m very intentional about communication and keeping you updated with messages and photos. I’m patient, attentive, and always aim to make your pet feel safe, loved, and at ease while you’re away. I work from home, so if your pet is here, I’m available to take care of them throughout the day. If needed, I can also take my work with me, which gives me flexibility to care for pets outside the home as well. I have a fenced in yard and two friendly dogs to keep your pet company. We do have an extra large crate available if you are crate training or a fenced off area in our kitchen to keep pets safe anytime we're away.
“First time using Colleen for daycare, she did a wonderful job with our little picky guy. Teddy had a great time playing and snuggling each day. Communication each day went smoothly. Colleen made drop off and pickup a breeze. We will definitely use her again.”
“Provided excellent care for my fur baby! He really enjoyed himself and tired himself out! They sent pictures and video throughout the day to reassure my baby was fine and okay! I appreciate the service provided”
“This was our first experience with doggie day care, and we could not be happier. Our puppy Duke seemed to fully enjoy himself - he slept the entire ride home. Kira was more than accommodating and very friendly and courteous. We will be back.”
About: What truly sets me apart is my commitment to communication. I provide regular updates, photos, and detailed notes after each visit or walk, so you always feel connected to your pet. My background also includes volunteer work at a local animal shelter, where I gained hands-on experience handling dogs with special needs and anxiety. You can count on me to treat your pet and home with the same respect and care I’d expect for my own. Reliability, compassion, and peace of mind—that’s what I bring to every visit. Pet care is an integral part of my daily and weekly routine. I prioritize creating a consistent and safe environment for every pet in my care, whether that means early morning walks, timely feedings, or engaging play sessions throughout the day. I incorporate time each day to monitor health, behavior, and comfort, ensuring pets feel secure and loved while their owners are away. On a weekly basis, I plan for special outings, grooming (if needed), and ongoing communication with pet owners to provide updates and maintain trust. Caring for animals is more than a job—it’s a responsibility I take seriously, and I structure my schedule to reflect that commitment. I have a fenced in privacy fence back yard! As well as a temperature controlled garage if needed to separate! I have an extra crate if needed as well!

About: Hi! ❤️ My name is Natalie Ikner. I am 25 years old and am a full time college student with all of my work online & a stay at home mother. I am pretty much always at home so your pups would have someone around 24/7 during their visits! Since I am home full time I’ve decided to start offering my services on Rover to help my fiancé with the bills. Plus, I LOVE animals of all kinds!! So why not? Your pup will have ample play & potty time on account to me being here all hours of the day during their stay. I also offer drop ins. I’m excited to meet your pups!!! ❤️ My schedule is very open so I am always home. I do all of my college work online so I’m open schedule most of the time! I do not keep my dog in a crate, but I do hourly potty breaks (or more if needed for that specific animal) and I do allow my dog on my bed occasionally.
About: My Boarding Policies: I want every dog to feel safe, loved, and comfortable while they’re with me, so these guidelines help keep things running smoothly for everyone. 💬 Meet & Greet I always do a quick meet & greet for new clients so I can get to know your pup’s personality and make sure we’re a great fit! I will need an emergency contact and vet reference. (Last minute bookings happen, I am willing to work around this for this purpose, just reach out to me) 💉 Health & Vaccinations For everyone’s safety, all dogs should be up to date on rabies, DHPP, and Bordetella. Please also make sure your pup is free of fleas/ticks and not showing signs of illness. ⏰ Drop-Off & Pick-Up I’m flexible, but I try to keep drop-offs and pick-ups within agreed time windows so the day stays smooth and predictable for the dogs. If you’re running late, no worries — just let me know! If at any point I can not get ahold of you, this will result in me reaching out to Rover Support or possibly Animal Control (depending on the situation) 🍽️ Food, Treats & Supplies Please bring enough food for the whole stay, plus any medication with simple instructions. If anything unexpected comes up, I’ll let you know right away. 🐾 Behavior & Comfort I welcome all sorts of personalities! I just ask that pups are: Friendly with people and other dogs Able to be crated or safely separated if needed Not showing aggression If your dog has any quirks (anxiety, chewing, reactivity, etc.), please share — it helps me give them the best care. 🩺 Safety First If a true emergency happens, I’ll contact you immediately and may take your dog to the vet if needed. Owners are responsible for any vet costs. 📸 Updates I love sending photos! Expect at least one update per day — or more if you’d like. Just tell me your preference. 📅 Cancellations & Holidays I follow Rover’s cancellation policy and keep things fair, but holiday bookings may fill up fast, so early scheduling helps! I loved animals for as long as I can remember, and pets have always been a big part of my life. I’ve cared for dogs and cats of all sizes, personalities, and ages — from bouncy puppies and curious kittens to senior pets who just need a little extra love and patience. When your pet is with me, I’ll treat them like family. I enjoy long walks, playtime in the yard, and plenty of snuggles on the couch. I’m also happy to follow your pet’s routine so they feel safe and comfortable while you’re away. Whether they’re energetic and playful or calm and cuddly, I’ll make sure they get the love and attention they deserve. I provide full-time dog care, including doggy daycare, boarding, drop-ins, and walks. When doing Drop ins or walks, if you are outside of a 5 mile radius, a small fee will have to be added for the distance traveled. Each day starts with morning walks and potty breaks, followed by supervised playtime and socialization. Midday is quiet time for rest and meals, with afternoon walks, and play. Evenings include dinner, potty breaks, and calm activities to help dogs wind down. Overnight, I monitor boarding dogs to ensure they’re safe and comfortable. Your pet’s safety and comfort are my top priorities. I provide a clean, secure, and loving environment where your furry friend can feel at home. All interactions are supervised, and I make sure playtime is safe and stress-free. I follow any specific instructions you provide for feeding, medications, or routines to ensure your pet’s well-being. I believe trust is earned, which is why I maintain open communication with owners throughout their pet’s stay or visit. You’ll receive updates, photos, and messages so you can see how your pet is doing in real-time. My home is pet-friendly, calm, and structured, offering plenty of space for exercise, rest, and fun. I strive to create a positive experience that leaves your pet happy, healthy, and eager to come back.
About: What sets me apart from other sitters is my background in healthcare and my natural attention to detail. As a nursing student and soon-to-be hospital worker, I’m very experienced in providing attentive, compassionate care — which easily carries over to how I care for pets. I’m patient, reliable, and comfortable following detailed care instructions, including administering medications if needed. I also have experience with both young, energetic pets and senior pets who may need a little extra gentleness and support. I genuinely love building a bond with every animal I care for, treating them like family while keeping their safety, happiness, and well-being my top priority. Pet care fits naturally into my daily and weekly routine because I truly enjoy spending time with animals. I am a nursing student who will be starting a hospital job on May 12, working from 3 PM to 11:30 PM. Until then, I have open availability to care for pets. Even after I begin work, I’ll be available during mornings, early afternoons, and late nights for check-ins, walks, and pet sitting. I start classes on May 27, but I only have one in-person class from 12–1 PM on Tuesdays and Thursdays, leaving plenty of time to dedicate to caring for pets. I’m responsible, nurturing, and attentive—qualities that come naturally from my healthcare background—and I will treat your pets like they are my own. When caring for pets in my home or a client’s home, I make sure to follow any specific instructions provided by the owner, including feeding schedules, walk times, medication administration, and any special routines or preferences. I pay close attention to each pet’s behavior to make sure they are happy, comfortable, and safe. I also love giving pets plenty of playtime, affection, and exercise based on their energy level. Cleanliness and safety are important to me, so I always make sure their space stays clean, and I update owners regularly with messages and photos for peace of mind. With my nursing background, I’m very detail-oriented and comfortable providing extra care if needed.

About: I’ve taken care of a variety of animals for family, friends and neighbors for the last 30 years. Please contact me if you have questions or concerns. I have current daily/ weekly availability for dog walking, playdates and house sitting (at your home.) I am unable to board at my home and do not offer pet sitting/ doggy day care in my home. Please contact me if you have questions or concerns about my availability. I will ensure that your dog does not run off leash in public places. I will ensure that no pet will go without food, water, medications, exercise, supervision or other treatment necessary to facilitate the health and wellness of your loved one(s.)
About: I am a CMA, and have worked in 4 vets offices over the years. I can give medication (oral, topicals or shots). I have been a groomer for 9ish years (traveling to homes and in grooming shops). I also come packing a huge heart ready to love whatever babies you have. I have cared for them all and really to care for yours!💜 I recently had surgery in March but have been cleared for work. I am a mobile groomer for myself so my schedule is very flexible. Working with vets/in hospitals, I have learned the best way to keep your animals safe and happy is to stay in their own home. Cars and new environments can cause a lot of stress or anxiety. Drop in visits and house sitting keeps your pet in a safe and comfortable place without the exposure to others or their pets.

About: I have always had pets growing up and my love for them has grown into my adulthood even more. I have a passion for learning and understanding all different types of animals. My experience in Pet Care is from owning my own pets and caring for family, friends and volunteering over the years. My husband works nights and I work days so there is always someone home to make sure your fur baby is taken care of and loved on! Our residence features ample space in the garage, and a spacious fenced-in backyard. As pet owners ourselves, with two golden doodles and a cat, we understand the stress associated with leaving them behind. Consequently, we would provide a nurturing environment, treating boarded pets like our own, with generous playtime outside of their kennels and the attention and affection they are accustomed to receiving at home. ❤️

About: I am responsible, attentive, and caring for your space and requests! As the eldest child in my family, I was always the spokesperson and main caretaker of our family pets. Since moving back home to huntsville, I’ve pet sat for multiple friends in my circle studying here.

I am available to be present with your pets and can be as accommodating as possible to even the most strict pet parents. I respond to your pets needs right away as I am available for the majority of each day. I follow feeding, walk, and other care schedules, and give them all the loving to keep them comfortable while you’re away so you don’t have to worry (:
“Oh sweet Annalyse! I’m so grateful that she was so prompt in all of her communication with me as we worked out the best timing for her to walk Wylie. She was kind natured and accommodating and gave Wylie a great walk around our neighborhood. I’m excited to have found a backup plan when my schedule is to busy.”

About: I’m an animal person through and through. I’ve been around dogs since I was a little boy at the age of 5. I’ve taken care of family, neighbor, and even stray pets/animals and take pride in my ability to get on the good side of any creature. Firm believer that there is no such thing in a bad dog, only misunderstood ones. I have one dog (the handsome black lab), but sometimes have my mother in law’s two dogs over. They’re all well behaved and sociable. I work from home and typically have a lot of spare time in my day to take care of pets. I make sure to take my dog to the park everyday and see to it that he gets proper exercise and will be sure to make sure your dogs get the same. I don’t go anywhere most weekends so I’m available for boarding and anything else more or less all the time. I live in a 4 bedroom house with a big yard and sunroom so plenty of space for play. I have several parks located within ten minutes of me and walking trails nearby too so your pup will never be bored.
About: I have many years of personal and work experience with pets. I have worked at a boarding facility/ doggy daycare as well as gone to houses to take care of clients pets and they have came to mine. I have a goldendoodle and a German Shepherd as well as a special needs cat! I love all animals, big or small. I have done clinical work at a local veterinary hospital. I know how to easily administer liquid or pill form medication to dogs and cats. I will offer dog walking, in home visits, doggy day care, and some boarding. Your pet will be sure to have so much fun with us! I would love to take care of your pet just as I take care of my own!
“Melanie is wonderful! Prompt, polite, and so kind-hearted! I will definitely ask her to walk our big dog again. I’m always nervous meeting new dog-sitters, but I’m so glad I took a chance! :)”

About: I’ve taken care of all types of animals pretty much since I could walk. My family has had chickens, quail, pigs, horses, goats, guinea pigs, and of course dogs and cats! I’ve also worked as a ranch hand at a goat farm for 2+ years. Currently the only doggie I can call my own is my sweet Nala. She is a mini schnauzer who loves people and is quick to play with other pups. I currently work part time and attend college on Mondays and Wednesdays. So I can almost always sit or board Thursday-Saturday. I love walking and jogging so I’m always up for that. I’m currently in the midst of moving into an apartment with my best friend who also owns a friendly collie named Josie. And I have my sweet Nala. I will be able to board in the future but it will probably not be till September-October.

“First, let me say I was so nervous about boarding my kitten, Pixie that I seriously considered canceling my entire trip. However, after meeting Meaghan & Johnny, I had no worries that she would be well taken care of. I was not disappointed!!! Between the messages, pictures, and videos of her stay, I could tell that she was being treated like one of their own. What more could I ask for? I will never consider leaving her with anyone else!! Thank you, Meaghan & Johnny!”
“Brett was fantastic with our pet. He kept him healthy, happy, and safe. He sent us updates and was quick to respond when we messaged him. We will definitely use him again with the situation arises.”
“Kira was absolutely amazing with my dog Nova! My dog has a lot of energy and Kira was up for the challenge. She really made me feel OK leaving my fur baby. I loved that she sent me photos while I was on vacation! I know my dog was properly taken care of and loved just like at home. I highly recommend her as she is wonderful with all animals and I will definitely be using her in the future!”
“This our second time booking with Barbara and Keith. They are great at caring for our senior dog. We appreciate the updates and photos they share with us during our dog’s stay. We definitely recommend them to anyone that is needing care for a pet! ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️”
“Return customer and very happy with the outstanding boarding Kristin provides to our two fur babies! Our pups are happy, healthy and exhausted from all the playtime they get when we pick them up. Highly recommended!!”
“Our boys became an extension to Sean and Dianna from the start. They loved playing in the pool and making new friends so much that I don’t think they missed us at all! And I wouldn’t want it any other way!!! We were provided updates of their happenings throughout the day by pictures, videos, and messages. It was so comforting to have absolute peace of mind that my pups were happy. I will 100% be booking with them again.”
“Dalia is outstanding and our go-to sitter in town. She lovingly cared for our two girls and they feel at home with her. Dalia’s experience and personal care is apparent in the way she handles our pups. She gave us great peace of mind while we were away. Can’t rate her high enough!”
“Kelsey and her family were so great watching our dog during our extended vacation! Our dog came home happy and exhausted! They were very communicative throughout the stay and sent pictures. They also promptly dropped off and picked up our dog to the minute they said they would. Would definitely trust and leave our dog with Kelsey again!”
“Hailie has boarded our dog Cooper several times and has been very attentive and personable to work with. It's more like a close friend watching our dog rather than "boarding" him. He gets excited to go to her house and she has been flexible and understanding with unpredictable booking conflicts. We will continue to call on Hailie for our Cooper's "babysitting" needs😁”
“Haley was so accommodating to our dog. She sent frequent updates with pictures and videos. It was our dogs first time getting boarded so I was a little nervous , but my anxiety went away with Haley.”
“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!”
“Highly recommended! I received updates with pictures and videos during my dog’s stay which made me feel at ease while I was away. This is a very pet friendly environment and I’d recommend to anyone as a great place to board your pet while you’re away!”
“I can't thank Joyceline enough for the wonderful care she provided for my dog. She was attentive, loving, and truly made my pet feel at home. Highly recommend her services to any dog owner looking for peace of mind!”
