“Tatiana was awesome! I got lots of updates with pictures and videos and communication and I knew my Daisy was in good hands! Daisy had so much fun playing and she got lots of cuddles. We will definitely book again!”


“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!”

“We had a family emergency & Whitney accepted our puppers with a few hours notice!! She & her family are excellent with caring for others’s furry family members!! We appreciate y’all so much!! Thank you!!”

“Doug is a very thoughtful and kind sitter. He took excellent care of my elderly puppy and kept me updated on how she was doing. I am very thankful that he was able to take care of her while we were away!”

“Amy was fantastic! She picked him up and dropped him off on time, sent pictures and videos daily, and was very kind. He had a wonderful time! Will most definitely be using her again ?”

“Chris and Sore were amazing sitters and I had great peace of mind knowing that there were 2 people looking after my dog! Even though I had minimal service and couldn’t respond to the messages, they still sent pictures every day and Night and I was able to receive the texts to know he was doing great and had friends to play with. The socialization with other dogs was a highlight for him as we have just moved and he has been missing his friends. Thank you Chris and Sore!”

“Katie and her family did a wonderful job of making our Stella feel at home. She kept us updated with pictures and texts the entire time. It made us feel good that they said they would miss her when she left. Would definitely recommend and use again!”

“Wonderful experience! He took great care of our 3 dogs and attended to all of their needs as well as administering medication to our senior golden retriever. We will use Harold again in the future!”

“Tilly had so much fun with her fur friend! And Jessica was GREAT! Very attentive and accommodating! She always sent photos when we asked! Tilly looked like she absolutely had a blast! We definitely recommend Jessica to anyone needing someone to sit their dog!”

“Kordell was amazing and took the best care of our sweet angel. We will definitely book him again, it was such a relief knowing kona was well cared for and loved while we were out of town. I cannot recommend him enough!”

“Charlie was amazing with my dog, Shadow!!! Her and her girls were so sweet to him, sent pics of him living his best life everyday, and we're super accommodating and helpful throughout the entire process, start to finish! We will definitely book with Charlie again!”


“Our pup loves spending the day at Barrie’s! Her tail wags when we hop out of the car and she sees where we are. Barrie often has other dogs but stays attentive to them and ensures everyone is getting along. She keeps us updated with pictures. Would suggest her for overnight boarding to anyone with a pup.”

“Lesley was such a great person to trust with my puppy. Not only did she take great care of her but she also sent photos with updates and of the dogs playing and having fun. Would recommend her to anyone looking for a 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!”

“Stephanie is (by far) our favorite sitter on Rover. She treats our little dachshund as if she is a member of the family and gives her so much love and affection. She is also fantastic to work with and we enjoy her updates. Highly, highly recommended.”

“Danielle is the absolute best, and I’ll hear nothing to the contrary. This was my first time using Rover, and the sitter I originally booked cancelled on me morning of, but Danielle accepted our last minute request on a holiday weekend. I have an old dog with arthritis and medication who can be a picky eater at times, but that was no issue for Danielle. She not only made me feel at ease with constant updates and pictures, but she exercised and socialized him, and he may like her more than me now. My only regrets with this review are that everyone else will book her now and she’ll be unavailable next time we need boarding for a weekend”

“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!!”


“Stephanie did such a great job! She communicated with me and sent pictures of my kitties. I felt very relaxed knowing that she was going to check on them and make sure they had everything they needed. I highly recommend Stephanie and will happily request her again in the future.”


“We are very grateful to Kordell for taking long (2 weeks) care of our Kotik (cat). At the end, Kotik felt himself with Kordell as in his own house. Great job! Thank you.”


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!
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. I’m usually up by 6 AM, so I’m available for early morning walks if needed. However, I prefer not to do nighttime walks for safety reasons. Whether your pup needs a midday walk or an afternoon play session, I’m happy to be there! I provide pet care in clients’ homes, following all given instructions to ensure consistency and comfort for your dog. Whether it’s walking, exercise, feeding schedules, or crate time, I follow routines closely to keep pets happy and stress-free.

About: I am the happy mother of three rescued fur babies and two adult children. One of my fur babies has been trained to be an emotional support dog and knows some sign language. They love children. My husband and I are empty nesters. I have been an RVT (registered Vet Tech) at several animal clinics and hospitals in town and in California. I am capable of giving medication subcue and including injections, along withthe needs diabetic dogs or those with special needs. 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

“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.”


“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!”

About: I have grown up always having a pet in the house so I very quickly found a love for animals, specifically dogs. I understand that dogs can differ in personality and I have a good idea on how to deal with certain behaviors, especially being a pet owner myself. P.S. I had to leave my fur baby while away at school so I would love to take care of yours! I'm currently working part-time as well as attending The University of Alabama at Birmingham but I will have plenty of time for your fur babies! I will be providing services primarily in the mornings as that is what works best for my schedule. I will be available between the hours of 6am-11am. I am focusing on dog-walking but I will occasionally provide drop in services as well, so I will follow any instructions I am given regarding caring for a pet in the client's home.
About: Hi! My name is Adrian, and I've been around dogs and cats for most of my life. I grew up helping care for large dogs and have always been the person my family relies on to feed, play with, and look after our pets. I especially love large breeds and enjoy spending time outdoors, playing, and making sure dogs get the attention and exercise they need. Every pet has their own personality, and I take the time to earn their trust so they feel comfortable and safe while you're away. I'll treat your pets with the same care and respect I'd want someone to show mine. I'm currently very flexible and have plenty of availability throughout the week for house sitting, drop-in visits, and walks. Because my schedule is open, I can dedicate plenty of attention to your pets instead of rushing between commitments. I communicate regularly, send photo updates, and always make sure owners know their pets are happy and well cared for. For everyone's safety and comfort, I currently only offer care in my client's home. My family dog is not comfortable around unfamiliar animals, so I don't provide boarding in my own home. When caring for pets in your home, I carefully follow your routines, make sure fresh water is always available, maintain feeding and bathroom schedules, provide plenty of attention and exercise, and send regular photo updates so you can relax while you're away. I also treat every home with the same respect and care that I would expect for my own. My goal is for you to come home to a happy pet and a clean home

About: I am the biggest cat lady ever! I’ve grown up with cats, and now have two of my own. My kitties are my whole world so I know how stressful it can be to leave them & trust someone else with them. I will be there to keep them fed, entertained, and purring happily while you’re away!
“Olivia was great! Our dog was being a little difficult and timid (which is normal for her with strangers) but Olivia was super helpful and kept in touch asking what she could do to help. She was willing to go above and beyond to make our dog feel comfortable around her. We will definitely use her again if needed.”

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've always loved animals! They have been apart of me for my whole life. My family says I'm an expert! I can't wait to see your beautiful pet. I'm currently thinking about pet care and I have always been lovable to animals, and sweet, I always have took care of my animals and others. My neighbor asked me to cat and dog sit and I did an excellent job! I even own my own pets. I'm willing to love and take care of your pet as my own!

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.
“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!”

“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.”

“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 ✨✨”

“Flash had a great day in Doggie Daycare with Emily and her family! They played with him and took him for a walk. They were very accommodating in setting times for Flash and me to meet them and for dropping him off and picking him up. They followed the feeding instructions and made room for his dog bed and toys in their home. I really liked it that they lived in a beautiful neighborhood with sidewalks and that they had a nice fenced in back yard. You can tell they love dogs and it made me happy that Flash was comfortable with them. I recommend them as dog sitters and plan to book with them again!”

About: Hey there, my name is Holly and I love working with dogs. I have spent the last 10 plus years working with dogs at a local doggie day care facility. While working there I obtained a lot of knowledge and eventually earned a position as a supervisor and managed new hires on how to work dog day care yards. During my time I gained a lot of valuable insight on dog behavior while working in the dog day care yard. I also have owned as many as three dogs at one time. I have hosted several of my friend's dogs for overnight stays along with my own dogs and I would just love the opportunity to give them the best care and love a dog could desire. I have a passion for fur babies and treat them as if they are my own. I have a special relationship with my veterinarian and I have experience in giving dog medication if necessary. I am conveniently located to my personal veterinarian and other veterinarians as well as a emergency vet in the event your fur baby suddenly becomes ill. Having owned numerous dogs over my lifetime I am keenly aware of what it takes to attend to senior dogs. I have a lot of green space in my neighborhood for a comfortable walk on a leash and potty breaks. I am currently retired and available to baby sit your fur baby anytime including weekdays/nights, weekends, and holidays. I am flexible and willing to accommodate your fur baby's needs along side my own fur baby, Pinkie. I have a lot of green space in my neighborhood for a comfortable walk on a leash and potty breaks along with my fur baby, Pinkie for company and companionship. I am all about creature comforts and whatever your baby is used to for the best experience. Your baby is more than welcome to lay on the couch, sleep in my bed or can be crated if that is what they enjoy the most. I also offer Dog TV for viewing pleasure. You can expect lot's of cuddle time, potty breaks, walks, treats and toys to play with but most of all LOVE. I also have a habit of sending video's and pictures of your baby while you are away.
“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 so friendly and absolutely wonderful to work with! He helped us with a last-minute request, was very responsive and flexible the whole stay, and sent lots of updates! My dog had a great time playing with the other pups! We will definitely use Cody again!”

“Laura is great! I will definitely book again. She was able to keep my fur baby on short notice with no hesitation. Her home was clean and welcoming with fenced in back yard perfect for pets. My pup is usually very shy, but immediately warmed up to Laura and her husband. Laura kept me up to date on how he was doing throughout the stay and sent pictures as well. She's a great sitter!”

About: I have lived with cats my entire life and currently own five of them. When neighbors or family members are away, I occasionally take over to make sure they are well fed and treated. Experienced with many different types of cats; this includes kittens, aggressive, wild, neurotic and/or disabled cats. I have college in the mornings Monday through Thursday, but I'm free the rest of the time. If there are any sudden inconveniences with schedule then I will notify as soon as possible. (Additionally, my name is Kuvo, but Lydia is fine. Your pet is my priority, so I hope a name will not disturb the service provided.) There are certain times for engaging with cats and certain times to provide them with distance. I hope to prevent stress while also giving them the proper attention they need. I am never too far and know where they are.

My first job was at a vet clinic at age 15 working in the boarding house with the dogs and cats. I’ve dog sat for family & close friends for 20+ years. Animals are normally pretty drawn to me but I was raised to pay attention when a dogs body language communicates that they might need time to warm up. I try to give them as much space and respect that they need. I am a small business owner which allows me to have flexibility in my schedule. Thought this would be a fun way to fill the time in-between meeting with clients. Would love to spend time loving on your pet while you are away.

I’m usually up by 6 AM, so I’m available for early morning walks if needed. However, I prefer not to do nighttime walks for safety reasons. Whether your pup needs a midday walk or an afternoon play session, I’m happy to be there! I provide pet care in clients’ homes, following all given instructions to ensure consistency and comfort for your dog. 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.
About: I have always loved animals- any and all types. I have owned dogs and cats as pets my entire life. I’m an honest and loyal person. I will provide the greatest care for your furbabies and make sure they are loved as my own. I volunteered with local humane societies and I also worked as an animal cruelty investigator for years. Animals live shorter lives than us humans so we have to make sure everyday is great. I have fostered numerous dogs and puppies that I found in abusive situations so providing a little extra care is no biggie to me. I would be happy to drop in and check on your animals, take them for walks or board them at my house. I have a ten year old child that knows how to treat animals. Your animal would be in great hands with us. Thanks for reading my profile. Hope to hear from you soon. My schedule is super flexible so just let me know what your needs are and I can help. Can’t wait to meet your fur baby. I have a fenced yard and one sweet pup that stays inside that can keep your animal company. I can’t wait for them to meet!
About: I’ve had multiple pets for multiple years. I’ve fostered, rescued, rehabbed, and taken care of multiple dogs at a time for multiple years. They have a wide range of personalities, needs, and interests. I’ve worked with aggressive, resource-protective, calm, and medically needing dogs. I’m capable and equipped to take care of them and help your home function well! I’m a business owner with a very flexible schedule. I can usually be available quickly and last minute if needed. I also can handle large stretches of days and time brackets. I create an environment for my visits that are curated too what your pets are most comfortable with. That being said I love to get to know what makes your pet comfortable and help to emulate the kind of routine that helps them not miss a beat of their routine!
About: I’ve dog-sat for all kinds of pups, making sure they get fed, go on walks, get endless playtime, and all the belly rubs they can handle while their owners are away! I am available mostly on the weekends or later in the evenings. But feel free to reach out & see if I am available when you need! I’m always happy to clean up after your dog, whether it’s picking up toys, wiping muddy paws, or handling bathroom breaks—your pup’s space stays tidy and fresh!
About: I have grown up always having a pet in the house so I very quickly found a love for animals, specifically dogs. I understand that dogs can differ in personality and I have a good idea on how to deal with certain behaviors, especially being a pet owner myself. P.S. I had to leave my fur baby while away at school so I would love to take care of yours! I'm currently working part-time as well as attending The University of Alabama at Birmingham but I will have plenty of time for your fur babies! I will be providing services primarily in the mornings as that is what works best for my schedule. I will be available between the hours of 6am-11am. I am focusing on dog-walking but I will occasionally provide drop in services as well, so I will follow any instructions I am given regarding caring for a pet in the client's home.

“Tatiana was awesome! I got lots of updates with pictures and videos and communication and I knew my Daisy was in good hands! Daisy had so much fun playing and she got lots of cuddles. We will definitely book again!”


“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!”

“We had a family emergency & Whitney accepted our puppers with a few hours notice!! She & her family are excellent with caring for others’s furry family members!! We appreciate y’all so much!! Thank you!!”

“Amy was fantastic! She picked him up and dropped him off on time, sent pictures and videos daily, and was very kind. He had a wonderful time! Will most definitely be using her again ?”

“Chris and Sore were amazing sitters and I had great peace of mind knowing that there were 2 people looking after my dog! Even though I had minimal service and couldn’t respond to the messages, they still sent pictures every day and Night and I was able to receive the texts to know he was doing great and had friends to play with. The socialization with other dogs was a highlight for him as we have just moved and he has been missing his friends. Thank you Chris and Sore!”

“Katie and her family did a wonderful job of making our Stella feel at home. She kept us updated with pictures and texts the entire time. It made us feel good that they said they would miss her when she left. Would definitely recommend and use again!”

“Wonderful experience! He took great care of our 3 dogs and attended to all of their needs as well as administering medication to our senior golden retriever. We will use Harold again in the future!”

“Charlie was amazing with my dog, Shadow!!! Her and her girls were so sweet to him, sent pics of him living his best life everyday, and we're super accommodating and helpful throughout the entire process, start to finish! We will definitely book with Charlie again!”


“Our pup loves spending the day at Barrie’s! Her tail wags when we hop out of the car and she sees where we are. Barrie often has other dogs but stays attentive to them and ensures everyone is getting along. She keeps us updated with pictures. Would suggest her for overnight boarding to anyone with a pup.”

“Lesley was such a great person to trust with my puppy. Not only did she take great care of her but she also sent photos with updates and of the dogs playing and having fun. Would recommend her to anyone looking for a 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!”

“Stephanie is (by far) our favorite sitter on Rover. She treats our little dachshund as if she is a member of the family and gives her so much love and affection. She is also fantastic to work with and we enjoy her updates. Highly, highly recommended.”

“Danielle is the absolute best, and I’ll hear nothing to the contrary. This was my first time using Rover, and the sitter I originally booked cancelled on me morning of, but Danielle accepted our last minute request on a holiday weekend. I have an old dog with arthritis and medication who can be a picky eater at times, but that was no issue for Danielle. She not only made me feel at ease with constant updates and pictures, but she exercised and socialized him, and he may like her more than me now. My only regrets with this review are that everyone else will book her now and she’ll be unavailable next time we need boarding for a weekend”

“Cannot say enough good words!! Laura loved on my puppies and sent me pictures and kept me so in the loop while they were there💕 would absolutely use again next time we are in the area for travel! Thank you so much again for taking care of my fur babies!”
“Jonathan and his family were great! We will definitely be requesting them as a new regular. Very friendly, helped us out and allowed us to extend our boarding for an additional night at last minute, sent updates and pictures, and made sure our dog had plenty of exercise!”

“This was our first time using Jordyn since moving to the area and she was amazing! She communicated with us and sent pictures daily and put us at ease with leaving our dog. We will absolutely be using Jordyn again in the future. I highly recommend her!”
