“Finding Whitney was an absolute blessing! We had a beach trip that kinda came out of nowhere with a 10~ week old puppy that also jumped in our lives unexpectedly and we needed somewhere for him to stay while we were gone! I had never used Rover before but I knew our puppy, Bubba, was not old enough to stay at a boarding facility so I thought I would try it out. Bubba had a blast and I always looked forward to the videos Whitney would send me of him playing with her sweet dog, Pearl! For anyone that has a young puppy, I highly recommend Whitney cause if he had been at a boarding facility he wouldn’t have been able to play and get all his puppy energy out!”
“We left our 16-year-old small dog with Jennifer And Irving for two nights in two days. She was a great communicator and sent us photos of Mattie during her stay. They were also very flexible about drop off and pick up. Mattie seemed to be having a good time in her photos. I was concerned they might not want to keep her because she sometimes has accidents and they said she did great (better than at home). Jennifer has two small dogs and three cats, and there were no reported disagreements. We will definitely use them again.”
“Jennifer was great! I just moved to the area and was in need of a dog sitter for a few days. She was responsive, provided regular updates and gave them a lot of love. I plan to use her again in the future. Thank you again!!”
“I could not ask for a better caregiver for my baby than Talhia. She treated my boy like her very own and provided incredible updates and really useful feedback that I can implement at home. You absolutely can’t beat her level of skill and knowledge! 10/10!”
“Aislynn was absolutely amazing. She kept us updated on our puppy with pictures the entire trip. She included training, daily walks, and enrichment. This was my first time away from my puppy and she put me at ease. I will definitely rebook.”
“My dogs - both young and old - loved staying with Savannah and her husband. We were also completely comfortable and confident the dogs had great care the entire time. Highly recommended!”
“She was great. House was clean, doggie updates were adorable and pups came home happy and bathed. Be really specific on pick up and drop off times well in advance and this is a perfect sitter”
“Bailey’s stay with Morgan was FABULOUS! I volunteer for Lost Dogs Illinois so I know firsthand how many dogs are lost when with a sitter. Morgan was super patient with my many questions and happily allowed a meet and greet in advance of Bailey’s stay so I could see her home and yard. When we arrived for Bailey’s stay, Mason and Morgan had it planned very carefully for a safe introduction to another dog staying with them and their dog, Tug. During her stay, Bailey enjoyed playing with Tug and the other pup visiting. Morgan sent me photo and video updates and was always super speedy in her responses to my texts. I could not be happier with Bailey’s stay with Morgan, Mason, and Tug. I’m sure she’ll be back with Morgan when we visit our Bama student again in the future.”
“Ally was so amazing with my Goose! She absolutely loved playing with all her goldens! Ally was super responsive to any question or text I sent and also sent daily updates with pictures! Will definitely be rebooking with Ally, she’s a wonderful person to watch your babies!”

I make sure pets are fed, exercised, and feel safe and comfortable while their owners are away. I treat every pet like they are my own and always pay attention to their needs and routines.

“I always loved using Jamie while in school at UA. Any time I had a last minute family trip where I couldn’t figure out flying my sweet pup with me, I could confidently leave my baby boy with her and her family! Extremely loving home, clean, and communicative. I had separation anxiety over not being with my pup for days (let’s be honest - hours lol) BUT I always smiled whenever I saw a text on what they were up to with some fun pics attached. I always knew he was in good hands!”
About: Over the past six years, I have provided reliable, dedicated care for dogs of various sizes and needs, including managing multi-day house sittings and extended week-long stays. Most recently, I successfully provided a private, two-week boarding experience for a 50-pound dog, handling all daily feeding, exercise, and companionship routines flawlessly. I am a highly organized, detailed, and punctual person, meaning I prioritize consistency, safety, and communication. Whether your pup needs active playtime, strict medication schedules, or just a comfortable place to lounge, I am motivated to assist and support your family by providing top-tier care.

Because I maintain a consistent schedule, you can count on me to be exceptionally punctual with feedings, check-ins, and updates. I live full-time in Tuscaloosa with my own friendly, well-behaved mini Bernedoodle, who is almost three years old. He loves company and provides great socialization for guest pets! When hosting dogs in my home, safety is my absolute top priority. I ensure a clean, calm, and secure environment where your pet will be treated like family. I am highly attentive to behavioral cues and comfortable managing medium-to-large breeds. I can easily accommodate crating or specific separation needs if required to keep everyone safe, happy, and relaxed.
“Danielle was in every sense excellent. She was far more capable than myself of watching these guys and was so chilled out during their entire stay as if to say, “don’t worry, i’ve got it.” My guys, Robby and Zoe, would exceedingly recommend that you book her at once. Thank you.”
“Mallory and her family took great care of my dog, Dottie, over the holidays! I was a little anxious that Dottie would misbehave (she has only been with me a short time and this was her first time staying with a dog sitter). Mallory was great at communicating and great with handling my sweet pup! I was totally reassured that I made the right choice choosing her. I would definitely leave Dottie with her again. I have used a number of different Rover sitters, and Mallory is my favorite!”
“Katy was awesome with my senior girl, Marley! She’s patient, welcoming, and made my pupper feel at home at her place while I was transitioning to Tuscaloosa for a new job. She’s communicative and was a great help to me! Highly recommend if you’re looking for a pet sitter in the area!”

“Katherine was so helpful and considerate to Trixie Cat, letting her out on the porch and giving her lots of pets :) it was such a relief to know that she was there for me and gave me reports during each visit. Next time I go out of town I will be sure to schedule Katherine again, and recommend her to my friends with pets”
“I've worked as a sitter, but never been a client before! April was wonderful with my cats, and was great at following my hectic instructions last minute for my trip.”
“Savannah is an outstanding sitter! She takes initiative to problem solve any scenario (cat tipping over automatic feeder or kitties still in introduction phase). She is caring, and is kittie leash knowledgeable! My boys are even getting along better now. Savannah will be my go to sitter in the future for sure.”
“It was my first time using their drop-in service for my cat, and everything went perfectly. Jennifer was very reliable, communicative, and always went the extra mile for my cat. I will definitely seek their help again!”
“Isabella is hands down the best pet sitter I’ve had the privilege of hiring. She was very flexible with my last minute needs, her communication is top tier, and If there was ever a problem (my fault) she was good at letting me know. My puppy is a big fan of her per the daily photos I received. She has won me over as a repeat client and I look forward to taking another trip without the stress of worrying about my puppy’s needs. Thank you again, Isabella! (:”
“Mary was very kind to our Kitten and attentive to her needs. She was professional and on time. If you don’t want to worry about your pet then Mary is your sitter.”
About: My family and I grew up with 3 dogs of our own. I also foster dogs from local shelters and have hands on experience with everything from playful puppies to sweet seniors. I understand how important it is to have someone you trust with your pet, and I’m here to help with calm, dependable care. I’m currently a student at the University of Alabama with a light class load, just about 2 hours a day. This gives me plenty of flexibility to dedicate time to pet care, whether it’s walks, dropins, or extended stays. Being from Birmingham, I’m familiar with the area and love spending time with pets when I’m not in class Whether I’m caring for pets in my home or yours, their safety and comfort always come first. I follow any routines or instructions you provide and take time to get to know each pet’s personality and needs. I keep a calm, clean environment and never leave pets unattended during visits. You can count on me to treat your pets like my own with patience, attention, and respect.
“Picked up my check-in request on short notice and met up the next day to go over everything and get the key. Was communicative and made sure my 9 month old cat got through the few days I was gone. Stinky Pete approved”
“Taylor stepped in last minute to care for my cat Winnie when the sitter I had originally booked ghosted me day two of my vacation. She took excellent care of Winnie, and I got several photos each day. Thank you Taylor!”
“With age, my cat Iggy has gotten more obstinate and more anxious whenever I leave home. Zoe did so much to attend to her needs, treat her, and draw her out to play and engage while I was away. When I returned, Iggy seemed as relaxed as I could have hoped. Zoe was so thoughtful about sending videos, photos, and responding to texts. She had treats and cat videos to help entertain Iggy and draw her out on days when she wanted to hide. It was all above and beyond and showed great experience, animal insight, and care. 10/10 will book again!”
About: I have grown up with dogs for my entire life and I now have a cat of my own. I have taken care of friends and families animals in the past and I am very reliable, caring, and friendly. Animals bring me so much joy and I treat any animal as if it were my own. I am working in a salon four days out of the week but I will be available in the mornings and the evenings of any day to provide attention to your pet. Given that I have a cat of my own, I know how angry and hurt I would be if I put her in the care of someone else and she was neglected. With that being said, you can trust that I will not put you in that position! Animals are innocent and unable to communicate their needs. Not only will I provide the essentials, I will go above and beyond to make sure your pet is happy and comfortable!
“Annika is excellent and so generous in being able to accommodate a last minute request to drop-in with my cat. I really appreciate her communication and flexibility.”
“I rebooked with Lauren again due to my previous experience with her and she was great yet again! She was very attentive and loving to my kitties while I was gone for a while! She always made sure they had fresh litter, water, and fed on the dot of every check in! She applied medicine and cleaned up after my cats whether it was hairballs or them just making a mess! Thank you Lauren for making my kitties feel safe and comfortable and letting me go on a stress free vacation! Looking forward to booking with you again! :)”
“Leah took good care of our two cats while we were on vacation! She sent pictures, gave them treats, played with them, and regularly updated us. It felt great knowing they were in good hands while we couldn't be with them.”

“I really appreciate Morgan. My schedule unfortunately almost caused a conflict with hers and she still went above and beyond to make sure Max enjoyed himself. Even as I picked Max up he continued to attempt to leave the car to go back with her, I could tell he enjoyed himself with her dog as well. Very appreciative! Definitely reach out to her about your fur baby.”
About: Hi furbaby parents! 🐕❤️ Summer is here! 🥰Bring your baby for their "fur-cation" where the fun & relaxation is!😍🐶 Having to get a sitter, drop-in visit or walks scheduled for your baby can be a stressor- being away from your baby & finding your person. Well you have found your person here. I love furbabies & will take great care of your baby. 🐶♥️ To me they are our babies, & like us, they each have their own likes, dislikes, quirks & personalities. I have furkids myself & my house is setup with furbabies & safety in mind. 🥰 I have furbaby beds in several rooms, gates between doorways so in case someone wants to be alone, I can accommodate, or if your baby needs time to warm up to a new place, thats another reason to have gates, for them to meet & greet at their own pace, not rushed. I just don't like the idea of having to stay in kennels, like at the vet! Thats what brought me to Rover as a client, now a sitter myself. I have a playroom for furbaby friends with plenty of toys, beds & a fenced in backyard for supervised potty & play! On pretty days we spend as much time outside as we can. We also have elevated beds outside, 2 little pup-pools, large grassy area & covered backporch with fan, patio umbrella & also a water misting fan to beat the heat! Thats a real treat! (Pup cups too!)🥰 My babies love everyone, but I know not everyone else's pups love the same things. Its important for them all feel safe & comfortable. I have kennels if needed, which we rarely use, with a spare room if needed. So if one wants to nap quietly & another wants to run & play, its no problem at all. My senior pup is 10 & will play some but mostly likes to lounge & watch the others; my twins are almost 2 & will play off & on all day, so your baby will have a great time! *I can do boarding in my home, sitter service, stop by for drop-in visit & feed/water, potty & play, or stop by & take them for a walk. I can stop by for kitty care, but cant board Ms/Mr Kitty at my house, sorry. *Ater hours pickup/drop off is no problem. My furkids are neutered/ spayed, fully vaccinated & get monthly heartworm/hookwork flea/tick prevention 💊 Prevention & good health is very important to me, as I would hope yours is taken care of also. Your baby is in good hands here, & will have plenty of playtime & treats; OR if we just want to nap, we love that too! 😊 ✨️Message me & let me know what days/times you need. Lots of love to go around.🥰 ***FIRST TIME CLIENTS: Safety for all in important. Let's set up a quick meet & greet. That way, I can get better acquainted with your baby & you, and so your baby isn't meeting me as a stranger on our first day of stay, but I understand sometimes its not an option for whatever reason, & thats okay. We will be glad to have you! **We will meet in a Public/Safe place. Thanks & hope to see you & your babies soon! 🥰UPDATE: Rover makes 20% of all earnings, I offer discounted or locked in rates for my Repeat clients or Regulars; I even do some private pay clients. I take care of furkids a little more "extra" than many furparents, I've been told! But to me that's a compliment! Bc being furbaby lover, I believe in real loving care, not just meeting basic needs. 🐕 🐈 🦮 COME STAY & PLAY!🥰🐶❤️ I work locally & have recent changes in my schedule which gives me more availability. I also have my own precious furbabies at home, so it's not a new task. I would manage the same way I do for my own. So let me know what you need & I will get you on my calendar! And Thank you for inquiring with me. And much thanks to my current Regulars & for all the wonderful comments & reviews! I appreciate you all so much & I'm always here, so book early, as I only keep a few babies at a time, for adequate, attentive care! I have a treated fenced in back yard for our Supervised play & potty & security cameras in & outside my home for safety. Update: Please ensure your furbabies are up to date on vaccines. Cameras on and within property for safety. *I thought this should go in the safety area: I'm no stranger to the area. I'm originally from Fayette County. I have family here in Northport, Coker & Tuscaloosa. So, I am a lifelong local to the area, and have a complete background attached to my profile & also have updated Government Clearance. So rest assured, your baby is safe with me.
“Zoe was a life saver for us! She was able to keep Charlie on short notice and provide great updates and took great care of him. I would definitely recommend her to anyone!”
“Thank you so much for taking care of our Pikey!! You showed up last minute when we didn’t know what we were going to do with her when we were both at work. She has come a long way in her puppy development thanks to you. We highly recommend you to anyone who is thinking of booking you as a sitter!”
“Samantha did an amazing job! She was very accommodating as our drop off time was very last minute. She sent updates and we felt like our pup was in great hands the whole time. We will definitely reach out again when we are back in the area.”
“Savannah very clearly LOVES dogs and she made sure my fur baby had a blast every time he came for daycare. She was always on time and a great communicator. I can definitely be a helicopter mom at times, but I would trust her with my pup any day! We will definitely be back!”
“Ansley and her fur baby, Koda have been amazing! Solo has had a blast 3 different play dates while we’ve been in Tuscaloosa! We received lots of pictures and videos of Solo having a wonderful time! Communication was awesome! We look forward to our next trip to Alabama so Solo can visit his friends again!”
About: I am currently a student at UA and am the proud owner of a dog named Raymond, a sweet boxer/hound mix who is friendly with all other dogs. Having grown up surrounded by both dogs and cats, animals hold a special place in my heart. I am committed to providing open communication, sending regular updates and photos, so you can enjoy peace of mind while you’re away! I take the time to understand each pet’s unique personality, preferences, and routines, allowing me to provide the best care possible—whether it’s playtime, walks, or quiet companionship! I understand that pet owners need to trust the person caring for their loved ones. I have a history of being reliable and punctual, with positive references from clients who can attest to my dedication and integrity. My flexible nature allows me to adapt to different situations and the needs of various pets. Whether it's accommodating last-minute requests or adjusting care routines based on a pet's mood or energy level, I’m always ready to help. In my home, I provide a safe, spacious environment with designated areas for play, rest, and feeding. I ensure all pet-proofing measures are in place and maintain a routine that includes regular exercise, socialization, and mental stimulation through games and training. At a client’s home, I follow their established routines and guidelines closely, ensuring their pet feels comfortable and secure.
About: I understand what it means to leave your dog in someone else's care. That’s why your furry friend won’t just be a guest—they’ll be treated like family, with personalized care and lots of love. I currently don’t have pets at home, which allows me to provide exclusive attention to the dogs I care for. My furry family is in Mexico, my home country, and since I travel frequently, I can’t have them with me. This has only strengthened my dedication to care for other people’s pets with love, respect, and responsibility. I mostly work with repeat clients throughout the year. This helps me truly get to know each dog—their routines, their likes and dislikes—and make them feel calm and at home. Even though I’m still learning English, I always find ways to communicate clearly—using tools or translation support when needed. I’m committed to making every family feel heard, safe, and confident. If you're looking for someone to care for your dog as if they were their own—with love, respect, and dedication—I'm here to help! 💕 Pet care fits perfectly into my routine because I am passionate about their well-being. I plan my days flexibly to meet their needs, ensuring they get plenty of playtime, exercise, and companionship. Additionally, I organize my schedule to provide them with a safe and comfortable environment. I make sure each pet feels safe, comfortable, and well cared for according to their individual needs. In my clients' homes, I follow their usual routines to minimize stress for the pet, ensuring they receive the attention and companionship they need. Additionally, I maintain constant communication with the owners to give them peace of mind while they are away.
“Alicia is so sweet! She was so good with my two pups. We used her for daycare and she sent me so many pics! She has a backyard which is great for our more energetic dog. Her dog and her kids were super friendly and gentle with our dogs. I could tell my babies were exhausted from when we got in the car.”
About: I got my first family dog at the age of 12 and he was a 100 pound chocolate Labrador named Max. When I moved to Germany, I was not allowed to take him so he currently lives with my brother. After moving back to the US, I got my own toy poodle at the age of 16 named Eymber and was completely responsible for her. Once I moved to college, I got her a puppy named Koko and they absolutely love eachother. Eymber is now 5 years old and koko is 1. Occasionally, I stop by the Tuscaloosa animal shelter to volunteer and I love being the reason a pup was happy that day. I love my babies and all fur babies more than anything in the world!!💛 I graduated from the University of Alabama in December of 2024. I’m a stay at home wife while my spouse works at the Alberta elementary school of performing arts so I’ll have plenty of time to cafe for your pups. I have a small fenced in backyard and 2 adult toy poodles who are very sweet to everyone. I live in a small neighborhood with tons of space to take walks/runs. I also prefer a gentle approach when correcting behavior and I believe crates should be a safe space rather than punishment.
“Alysse was very accommodating, communicated consistently, and sent updates with photos. I had a last minute need for my pups to have some supervision and company and she was super understanding. Thanks so much. Would definitely book again :)”

I’m currently working free lance so I have plenty of time and attention to give. I do not have a fenced in yard, however there is plenty of space to walk around and I will keep all pets on a leash. Also willing to go to dog parks and things as such.

About: Hi, I’m Aly! My house was never empty growing up—I was raised in a home full of cats, which taught me how to respect and care for even the pickiest feline personalities. At the same time, I’ve always been the go-to dog walker for my friends and family, and I've recently taken that passion professional. Currently, I’m active on Wag!, where I’ve completed multiple successful walks and have already secured a repeat client who trusts me with their dog’s daily exercise. I’m excited to expand to Rover to offer that same high level of care to both dog and cat owners in the Tuscaloosa area! As a flexible independent worker, my schedule is my own, which means I can easily prioritize your pet’s routine! Whether it’s a mid-day check-in or a last-minute visit, I have the freedom to be there when you can’t. When I’m not hanging out with your pets, you’ll usually find me curled up with a book or learning a new skill. Since I value a calm and relaxed environment, I’m the perfect match for your pet who enjoy a peaceful presence or a quiet companion to sit with them while they nap. I focus on providing personalized care that matches your pet’s unique energy level. Whether I’m visiting for a drop-in or staying overnight, my priority is maintaining the routine that makes them feel safe and happy.

About: Hi pet parents! My name is Becca, and I have been pet-sitting for 8 years. Throughout that experience, many pet parents of varying ages have entrusted me with their furry children. I adore caring for animals, as I have a sweet orange cat of my own! I promise that I will give the same care and love to your pet that I give to my own little one.

I am always able to adjust my schedule to fit the times you will need me, especially in advance. The biggest thing for me when caring for my pets as well as your pet is to prioritize quality time with them. In addition to food of course. I make sure to spend as much time with my pets as I can, as they definitely notice when you're not interested in spending time with them. "Most importantly, I will try my best to make sure your pet is comfortable and not stressed. Trust between myself and my clients and their pets is essential!

About: Hello! I hope this finds you well. When you book with me, you can rest assured you’ll be worry free! I bring a unique mix of veterinary experience and real world animal care. Before attending UCLA, I worked at a veterinary clinic where I administered medications, assisted with post op care, and handled pets of all temperaments.

I aim to keep pet(s) active with at least 3–4 walks or play sessions per day (adjusted to their needs) so they stay happy, healthy, and relaxed while you’re away.

“I could not ask for a better caregiver for my baby than Talhia. She treated my boy like her very own and provided incredible updates and really useful feedback that I can implement at home. You absolutely can’t beat her level of skill and knowledge! 10/10!”
“Aislynn was absolutely amazing. She kept us updated on our puppy with pictures the entire trip. She included training, daily walks, and enrichment. This was my first time away from my puppy and she put me at ease. I will definitely rebook.”
“My dogs - both young and old - loved staying with Savannah and her husband. We were also completely comfortable and confident the dogs had great care the entire time. Highly recommended!”
“She was great. House was clean, doggie updates were adorable and pups came home happy and bathed. Be really specific on pick up and drop off times well in advance and this is a perfect sitter”
“Bailey’s stay with Morgan was FABULOUS! I volunteer for Lost Dogs Illinois so I know firsthand how many dogs are lost when with a sitter. Morgan was super patient with my many questions and happily allowed a meet and greet in advance of Bailey’s stay so I could see her home and yard. When we arrived for Bailey’s stay, Mason and Morgan had it planned very carefully for a safe introduction to another dog staying with them and their dog, Tug. During her stay, Bailey enjoyed playing with Tug and the other pup visiting. Morgan sent me photo and video updates and was always super speedy in her responses to my texts. I could not be happier with Bailey’s stay with Morgan, Mason, and Tug. I’m sure she’ll be back with Morgan when we visit our Bama student again in the future.”
“Ally was so amazing with my Goose! She absolutely loved playing with all her goldens! Ally was super responsive to any question or text I sent and also sent daily updates with pictures! Will definitely be rebooking with Ally, she’s a wonderful person to watch your babies!”

“I always loved using Jamie while in school at UA. Any time I had a last minute family trip where I couldn’t figure out flying my sweet pup with me, I could confidently leave my baby boy with her and her family! Extremely loving home, clean, and communicative. I had separation anxiety over not being with my pup for days (let’s be honest - hours lol) BUT I always smiled whenever I saw a text on what they were up to with some fun pics attached. I always knew he was in good hands!”
About: Over the past six years, I have provided reliable, dedicated care for dogs of various sizes and needs, including managing multi-day house sittings and extended week-long stays.

I am a highly organized, detailed, and punctual person, meaning I prioritize consistency, safety, and communication.

I am highly attentive to behavioral cues and comfortable managing medium-to-large breeds.

“Danielle was in every sense excellent. She was far more capable than myself of watching these guys and was so chilled out during their entire stay as if to say, “don’t worry, i’ve got it.” My guys, Robby and Zoe, would exceedingly recommend that you book her at once. Thank you.”
“Mallory and her family took great care of my dog, Dottie, over the holidays! I was a little anxious that Dottie would misbehave (she has only been with me a short time and this was her first time staying with a dog sitter). Mallory was great at communicating and great with handling my sweet pup! I was totally reassured that I made the right choice choosing her. I would definitely leave Dottie with her again. I have used a number of different Rover sitters, and Mallory is my favorite!”
About: I have always had a fur baby in my life. My husband and I recently lost both of our dogs and cat. I love walking, playing, snuggling and all other activities with pups. I will work with you on what your needs are for your fur family member while you are away. My ultimate goal is to have my own full time doggie care. I live in a neighborhood that’s great for walking or going to dog park at Sokol Park. I provide pickup and drop-off within a 10 miles. Above all, I will treat your pet like a member of my family & love on them while you’re away. I’m a PreK teacher so I’m free during the summer and most holidays. Even during the school year I am still able to stay at a client’s house if pet can be let alone during the day. My husband works from home so your pet will have someone with them during the day. However, your pet must not be very needy so that it doesn’t interfere with his work. He does take several breaks and your pet will have availability to be outside several times a day. I enjoy sitting outside enjoying the sunshine or going for walks is also fun activities for mine. We keep a large bed for your pet, toys, and a few treats. I love taking “paw” trips to the park or pet store. I am open to most anything your dog(s) needs.
“Thank you for caring for Dante ! He came back home a happy baby ! Amber definitely took good care of him and I couldn’t of been more pleased 😃 definitely will book with her again in the future”
