Personalized care for your dog or cat - Vandiver
Highly-rated overnight sitters - Vandiver
“If I could leave 10 out of 5 stars I would! Amanda was wonderful and we could not have asked for a better experience. Besides being kind, gentle, and thoughtful, she was very caring and gave our dog lots of attention. We had multiple pictures and videos, which were so nice. She took Oliver on walks every day, not down the street, but to a park every day. She also fed him home cooked chicken (with my approval) to try to get him to eat (picky eater!). I know Oliver had a great time and it was so nice not worrying about our little boy! We will definitely use her again! Thank you Amanda!”
“Another wonderful stay with Jessica! She treats my puppy like her own. We are so grateful for her updates throughout our trip and the detailed report she provides when we return home. She’s the best and has a lovely home full of love and toys.”
“Christopher and Sore were amazing! They provided great care for our lab with many updates and pictures. We booked with them last minute for a holiday weekend and they were so accommodating. Our lab can be high energy and anxious at times and we felt like they managed her well while we were gone. We would use them again if we need services in the future. Highly recommend.”
“Katie and her family was so accommodating and wonderful to work with. I got daily updates and made me feel at ease while we were on vacation. Our weimerainer is an old girl and was t sure how’d she be but she ended up feeling right at home with Katie. 10 outta 10 recommend”
“From the moment I met Jessica it was clear she was a total professional. I knew Mabel Was in great hands. Of course I would always double check before your stay, but she had a crate, food bowl etc in my poaches size so I didn’t even have to transport. Altogether would use agai.”
“Amy was wonderful with our two dogs! She very clearly spoiled them. I can tell by the pictures that they had a great time. Especially out in the back yard! She was also very accommodating with our schedule which was very much appreciated!”
“Whitney was wonderful with my pups for our last minute getaway! She was quick to respond and sent us lots of pics and videos from their stay with her. We will definitely be using Whitney as our sitter for future vacations!!”
“Kaitlyn is one of the best sitters on Rover! She is so kind and accommodating. She let me know what was going on with my dog, and I had no concerns about Chloe’s safety. She even sent us home with a little gift. I highly recommend using Kaitlyn for all pet sitting needs 🖤”
“Barrie was absolutely wonderful! I was so nervous leaving my puppy for a week, but Barrie provided daily updates and my pup came home happy, healthy, and somehow even better behaved! I will definitely be booking again!”
“Harold took excellent care of my mother’s senior dogs. She was worried sick about leaving them with just anyone, but he treated them as if they were his own and sent tons of pictures each day. He was very patient and caring with them. I will definitely be using him again in the future and highly recommend him.”
“Charlie was fabulous! It was so great to know that our dog was taken care of and happy. She sent us pictures every day and loved on our pup. Collins was a great playmate and it was so fun to know our dog was playing and having fun!”
“Stephanie did a great job with our boy Bodhi. She was sweet, caring and we can tell Bodhi enjoyed his stay. Highly recommend her. She will be our go to in the future.”
“Terri did an amazing job keeping Miss Dot entertained with many dogs and big fields and keeping me relaxed with many pictures throughout the stay. Her huge fenced in back yard is a huge plus and Miss Dot is exhausted (in a great way) after spending a couple of days there.”
“Ray was great!! With Kobe being a big dog he was prepared with enough space and updated us daily with pictures. Seeing Ray's daughter interaction with our puppy was a plus keeping him entertained.”
“Our dog had the best time with Leslie and her dogs. She was so well taken care of had lots of outside play. I enjoyed seeing many wonderful pictures. I would definitely book again.”

“We cannot speak highly enough about Madison. She was so thorough and did everything we asked exactly as we asked her to. Excellent communication and always right on time. It is such a relief to know our babies are in good hands when we have to be away. We’d give her 10 🌟 if we could.”
About: I’ve been handling animals ever since I was 13, this includes cats, dogs, and even bunnies! (I had one that I let free roam). Cats and Bigger dogs are always a personal favorite but I truly love animals and even considered going into veterinary sciences! I can assure you, your animal is in great hands seeing as I have a cat and two dogs myself!
“Katelynn did a wonderful job taking care of out two cats while we were away for a week. She came twice a day from 30 minutes away, she is willing to go above and beyond! She left us great notes and pictures each visit to help us feel at ease. And our cats were very happy when we returned home! Would definitely use her again!!”
“Steven was great with communication during each of his check-ins on our dog. He always took several pictures and was very intentional about bonding with our dog instead of just doing the tasks I had listed for him. We will definitely be using him again.”
“We were extremely pleased with how well Stephanie took care of our cat. He needed insulin shots twice a day on a 12 hour schedule and we were nervous leaving this to a pet sitter. Stephanie was prompt, kept his meds schedule, played with him, and he seemed to really respond well to her. We will definitely book her next time we need a sitter.”
“Jessie was amazing!! She was very dependable and took great care of our cat, Luna, while were on vacation. Our shy cat warmed up to her very quickly and was happy to see Jessie each day. We loved that Jessie sent us pictures and videos with daily updates. I could tell that Luna was in great hands and much less stressed. Jessie treated Luna just like her own fur baby and gave her all the love and attention she is used to getting while we are home. Overall, this was such a great experience, and I would recommend Jessie to anyone. We will definitely book again next time.”
About: I have over nine years of experience caring for dogs, including one year as a boarder. Growing up, I fostered dogs and cared for pets of all sizes and temperaments. I genuinely love spending time with dogs, but since I can’t have one where I live, getting to walk and care for them every day brings me so much joy! Whether your pup needs extra playtime, careful attention, or a dependable walker, I’m here to help. As an online student at UAB, I have a flexible schedule and can accommodate walks and pet care throughout any day of the week.

Whether it’s walking, exercise, feeding schedules, or crate time, I follow routines closely to keep pets happy and stress-free. I prioritize safety, trust, and personalized care to make sure your pet feels comfortable while you’re away.
“I couldn’t be happier with the care my cat received during their stay! From the moment we arrived, I felt confident that my furry family member was in loving, capable hands. Kordell was kind, attentive, and kept me updated, which gave me complete peace of mind while I was away. When I picked my cat up, he was relaxed, happy, and clearly well cared for. It’s obvious he genuinely love animals and go above and beyond to make each pet feel safe and comfortable. I highly recommend him to anyone looking for a trustworthy, caring place for their cat. Thank you for treating my baby like one of your own I will definitely be back!”

If you need help with behavior issues such as leash walking Im your gal. I love wet kisses from sloppy fur babies. I havnt found anything yet that has changed my mind about these sweet creatures and if I could have 10 of my own I would. Since that is not possible the next best thing is to help others take care of their fur babies. I work from home and am available to be with your fur babies the majority of the time. Besides running errands and I usually have my husband or daughter watch over them during those few times. Or I will bring them with me 🤗 Fur babies in my home are treated as family yes they allowed on the furniture unless you specifically do not want this . Then of course I do exactly what you want for your baby . We have backyard time and walks when weather permits
“Rachel and Justin did a great job taking care of our boys! I’m not even sure they missed us while we were away. They were even able to get our shy old man to play which is quite the feat. Usually house sitters don’t even see him. I will definitely be using them again the next time we go out of town! Thank you guys!”
“Ashley was amazing. She kept me informed on the boys and sent some amazing pictures and a video of them playing. Will definitely keep her in mine for our next trip. Highly recommend!!!”

Perfect for high energy dogs - Vandiver
About: 30 years of experience having dogs & cats as part of the family. Now passing my love of caring for animals down to my daughters & they want to help care for as many as possible. We are available for boarding, drop-in visits, dog walking, doggie daycare, & more. I am currently a homeschool mom and have a very flexible schedule. We will be as accommodating as possible for your pets individual needs & treat them as part of our family. We have a huge fenced in back yard. Two girls that love animals more than anything in life. Your dog will have fun and be well cared for while you are out of town! We will send you pictures and updates during your time away. And I can easily crate your dog if needed, (but will only if you do this at home).
About: I own a small kennel,Small Paws Kennel, for small to medium sized dogs in Sterrett. I currently have a few empty kennels,to be used for dog boarding and daytime care. Dogs will not be around cats,and will remain away from children if nervous or aggressive. They will be homed in a kennel with plenty of food,water,treats,and an outdoor run of their own. They will not have to interact with other dogs. I have pet sitter in the past,and try to make sure to follow notes about a dog's preference of what makes them nervous,what treats they like,any meds needed,and so forth. I'm currently staying at home to take care of and homeschool my two girls,as well as running a small kennel,so your dog will get plenty of care and attention. I make sure to check on boarded dogs daily,so that they have plenty of fresh water,food,and get a chewbone or treat daily...as well as some petting and attention. I have a small kennel. There are separate indoor kennels,with dog doors that lead out to 4*8 separated runs,so dogs are separate and safe. These runs are surrounded by a larger cattle fence,that fence in all the runs together and allows for a play yard for exercise outside of the runs. That way each dog can get out daily for some play time with toys and a small pool,for hot days.
“I absolutely cannot compromise on is knowing my sweet puppy Mango is not just safe, but truly loved, happy, and well-cared for while I’m away. That’s where Adelle comes in, and she has been nothing short of a miracle. Adelle has given me something priceless: true peace of mind. Knowing Mango is in her loving hands allows me to focus completely on my craft without that worry in the back of my mind. For a chef who lives and breathes their passion, that trust is everything. Adelle, I honestly couldn’t repay you in this lifetime for the comfort and joy you bring to both Mango and me. You’re not just a dog sitter you’re a friend, again thank you so much ❤️🤍💙⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️🥭 - Chef Jay & Mango ✨✨”
“Amy has been watching Greta, my very active GSP puppy, these past couple of weeks and so far it has been great. She has a dog and a toddler that gets plenty of interaction with our puppy and Greta is always happy to go back to see her new friends. I am very appreciative of Amy’s willingness to work with our busy schedules that fluctuate for drop off and pick up.”
“Would highly recommend. Angelika was very sweet and cared a lot about our dog. Our dog, October is a very shy rescue dog, but Angelika did a great job with caring for her.. taking her for long walks, cuddles and etc!”
“My babies came home fully intact! No parts missing lol! Jessica was a great host for my children. She sent updates throughout the day along with photographs. From the moment I dropped them off I was confident I had chosen the right person for the task. She is a pleasant human with a big heart. Yep, my babies came home just as I dropped them off, happy and all parts intact! Thank you Jessica!”
“Cody was great with our dog! We received cute photo and video updates during the day, and our dog seemed happy when he came home. What more can you ask for? Thank you!”
“This Riley's first stay with Breanna and Jason and it was a big hit 😀 Riley came home happy and tired 🤗 I will say that Breanna and Jason have a very handsome Golden of their own that might have influenced Riley's attitude 😉 Both of the hoomans were kind, courteous and flexible with my plans and took time to properly introduce my Riley to their home and see that she was well cared for. We look forward to seeing Breanna and Jason and family again soon 😊”

“Sent tons of pictures which was much appreciated, very communicative and definitely made me feel at ease about my puppy! He’s so high energy and is always super crazy but he was tired when I got home after their walk/ play time! 11/10 recommend, and will definitely be booking with her again. I’ve had such terrible experiences with two other rover’s before so this was a very nice and pleasant change of pace. She definitely goes above and beyond and obviously genuinely cares so much about the dogs she takes care of.”

“If I could leave 10 out of 5 stars I would! Amanda was wonderful and we could not have asked for a better experience. Besides being kind, gentle, and thoughtful, she was very caring and gave our dog lots of attention. We had multiple pictures and videos, which were so nice. She took Oliver on walks every day, not down the street, but to a park every day. She also fed him home cooked chicken (with my approval) to try to get him to eat (picky eater!). I know Oliver had a great time and it was so nice not worrying about our little boy! We will definitely use her again! Thank you Amanda!”
“Another wonderful stay with Jessica! She treats my puppy like her own. We are so grateful for her updates throughout our trip and the detailed report she provides when we return home. She’s the best and has a lovely home full of love and toys.”
“Christopher and Sore were amazing! They provided great care for our lab with many updates and pictures. We booked with them last minute for a holiday weekend and they were so accommodating. Our lab can be high energy and anxious at times and we felt like they managed her well while we were gone. We would use them again if we need services in the future. Highly recommend.”
“Katie and her family was so accommodating and wonderful to work with. I got daily updates and made me feel at ease while we were on vacation. Our weimerainer is an old girl and was t sure how’d she be but she ended up feeling right at home with Katie. 10 outta 10 recommend”
“Amy was wonderful with our two dogs! She very clearly spoiled them. I can tell by the pictures that they had a great time. Especially out in the back yard! She was also very accommodating with our schedule which was very much appreciated!”
“Whitney was wonderful with my pups for our last minute getaway! She was quick to respond and sent us lots of pics and videos from their stay with her. We will definitely be using Whitney as our sitter for future vacations!!”
“Kaitlyn is one of the best sitters on Rover! She is so kind and accommodating. She let me know what was going on with my dog, and I had no concerns about Chloe’s safety. She even sent us home with a little gift. I highly recommend using Kaitlyn for all pet sitting needs 🖤”
“Barrie was absolutely wonderful! I was so nervous leaving my puppy for a week, but Barrie provided daily updates and my pup came home happy, healthy, and somehow even better behaved! I will definitely be booking again!”
“Harold took excellent care of my mother’s senior dogs. She was worried sick about leaving them with just anyone, but he treated them as if they were his own and sent tons of pictures each day. He was very patient and caring with them. I will definitely be using him again in the future and highly recommend him.”
“Charlie was fabulous! It was so great to know that our dog was taken care of and happy. She sent us pictures every day and loved on our pup. Collins was a great playmate and it was so fun to know our dog was playing and having fun!”
“Stephanie did a great job with our boy Bodhi. She was sweet, caring and we can tell Bodhi enjoyed his stay. Highly recommend her. She will be our go to in the future.”
“Terri did an amazing job keeping Miss Dot entertained with many dogs and big fields and keeping me relaxed with many pictures throughout the stay. Her huge fenced in back yard is a huge plus and Miss Dot is exhausted (in a great way) after spending a couple of days there.”
“Ray was great!! With Kobe being a big dog he was prepared with enough space and updated us daily with pictures. Seeing Ray's daughter interaction with our puppy was a plus keeping him entertained.”
“Our dog had the best time with Leslie and her dogs. She was so well taken care of had lots of outside play. I enjoyed seeing many wonderful pictures. I would definitely book again.”
“Tony took very great care of my doggie. He actually spoiled him rotten!! LOL. He can watch him anytime. I will continue to book with Tony for upcoming boarding and drop-in services.”
