“Loved Kaia and Desean! My little guy had sooo much fun! He was pretty much worthless for 3 days after picking him up because he was so tired! (And he can go for hours, so this made me extra happy lol) Will definitely be using them again and would highly recommend them if you have a friendly and hyper dog. :)”
“We were looking for someone to make Spirit feel right at home. We feel like we accomplished that with Laura. She and Spirit hit it off right away. We plan on using her many more times in the future.”
“Booking with Ryan was great. He sent loads of pictures of my dog Murray enjoying his stay. Murray is tuckered out from all the fun and walks, which really puts me at ease that he was comfortable staying with Ryan. Cannot recommend him enough.”
“⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ Ms. Catherine was absolutely wonderful with Francois and Girbaud! From the moment we met her, I could tell she had a genuine love for animals and a calm, nurturing spirit that immediately put the boys at ease. She went above and beyond every step of the way—sending adorable photo updates, keeping me informed, and making sure they were comfortable, entertained, and well cared for the entire time. When I got home, both dogs were happy, relaxed, and delightfully tired—which to any dog parent means they had a great time! It’s clear she gave them plenty of exercise, play, and affection. Ms. Catherine treated them as if they were her own, and I truly appreciate her kindness, patience, and reliability. I can’t recommend her enough. If you’re looking for someone who’s attentive, trustworthy, and genuinely loves what she does, Ms. Catherine is the one. Francois, Girbaud, and I are so grateful to have found her! 🐾❤️”
“⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ I honestly wish I could give more than 5 stars! Wags and Whiskers Play and Stay was an absolute blessing to me during an unexpected emergency trip out of town. From the very beginning, Sandra and Mark made me feel completely at ease leaving my dog, Lex Luther in their care—and that peace of mind is priceless. They went above and beyond! I received regular updates, including videos and pictures, which meant so much to me. It was clear Lex wasn’t just being “watched,” but truly cared for, loved, and engaged. They played, had treats, and my dog looked comfortable and happy the entire time. When I picked Lex up, I could tell he had been well taken care of—calm, content, and not stressed at all. That speaks volumes! If you’re looking for someone trustworthy, attentive, and genuinely passionate about animals, I highly recommend Wags and Whiskers Play and Stay. I will definitely be using them again!”
“Katie did such a great job watching Ellie while we were away. She was very considerate about making sure she had all the information about Ellie to make her stay as comfortable as possible. She also sent some many great pictures/videos and updates to put us at ease that she was being well taken care of.”
“Autumn was AMAZING!! She is so flexible whenever I needed to leave my dog a little longer. I so enjoyed the frequent pictures and videos. She is great and your dog would be in great hands!!”
“Great experience! Our dogs were well cared for, and we appreciated the photos, updates, and the wonderful interaction with them. Thank you for taking such good care of our pets!”
“I had a great experience with Dominik boarding my two dogs. What stood out the most was that he was willing to take them in at the last minute, which helped me out tremendously and truly meant a lot. From the beginning, Dominik was professional, responsive, and made me feel comfortable leaving my dogs in his care. You can tell he genuinely cares about animals and wants to make sure they feel comfortable. My dogs were well taken care of, and I appreciated knowing they were in good hands while I was away. Finding someone dependable to trust with your pets is not always easy, but I would absolutely recommend Dominik to anyone looking for reliable and caring boarding services.”
“I would recommend highly! Great communication and loved all the pictures!! She watched my beloved doggo for 9 days and I almost think she (my pup) didn’t want to leave since she had such an amazing time!!”
“I can't say enough great things about Mrs. Heather! From the moment we met, it was clear how much she genuinely cares for animals. She was incredibly attentive! Throughout the stay, I received updates, including photos and messages that truly gave me peace of mind. My dog, who can be a nervous at first when meeting new people, warmed up to them almost immediately which says a lot! When I returned, it was obvious that my dog had been well taken care of and had even formed a bond with Mrs. Heather! It’s rare to find someone who treats your pet like their own! I wouldn’t hesitate to book again and highly recommend them to anyone looking for a trustworthy, caring, and truly AWESOME person to take care of your dog! ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️”
About: Hi there! My name is Natasha and I would love to spoil your dog! From malteses to rottweilers I have had many dogs as a young'un; all with very different personalities. I've dog sat for Rover clients, friends and employers (on farms and in the city). My apartment has been a revolving door for amazing pooches. My dog care style is "play, pass out, repeat". Big or small, I'm very good at tuckering dogs out. I grew up with rottweilers and have a penchant for adorable pitbulls so I do not shy away from large breeds as long as your dog is trained. I took a short break from Rover but I've still been sitting beautiful pups and I look forward to taking care of yours! Two day mininum for new dog sitting cients. I work freelance so I am able to give your pup (s) lot's of love! Occassionally I will have to leave the house for two to four hours at a time so if your pup needs constant hourly care, I may not be the right match. I respect the pet parent's rules. If the dog is not allowed on the couch, they won't be on the couch. If you need the toilet seat down because they like to drink the water, no problem! Dogs need structure and I do not plan on breaking it (unless it's more play on behalf of the parent, of course).
“Kayla is the best. She showed patience and understanding for my furbaby whom never stayed with anyone before. He received lots of love and got a chance to have a play date.”
About: I'm an Animal Sciences graduate and incoming Auburn veterinary student with experience caring for a wide variety of animals. My background includes working as a veterinary assistant and kennel technician, fostering cats, volunteering with animal rescues, and more. Through these experiences, I've gained skills in administering medications, caring for senior pets, recognizing signs of illness, and providing compassionate, individualized care. I am comfortable caring for animals with a wide range of personalities, medical needs, and activity levels, and I treat every pet as if they were my own, prioritizing their safety, comfort, and happiness at all times. Caring for animals has been a regular part of my life for years through fostering, veterinary medicine, volunteer work, and my own pets. I am able to incorporate pet care into my daily routine and make sure each pet receives reliable, attentive care, plenty of affection, and any specialized care they may need. Pets in my care are treated like members of the family. I provide a safe, clean, and comfortable environment where pets can relax and maintain their normal routines as much as possible. I closely monitor behavior, appetite, and activity levels and am comfortable administering medications if needed. I ensure pets always have access to fresh water, regular potty breaks, exercise, and plenty of attention and affection.
“BOOK JENNIFER NOW! I would like to tell everyone a little, rather a lot about my experience with Jennifer?. In one word; EXCELLENT! Jennifer was amazing, she washed my baby-cleaned her teeth-wiped her paws after going outside and loved on her to make her feel welcomed-sent me pictures of her daily. DO NOT BOOK WITH ANYONE ELSE; Jennifer is the person you want to watch your baby. YOU WILL BE EXTREMELY SATISFIED. I will only book with Jennifer. She is Amazing!!! I’m so happy with the way she cared for my baby. BOOK JENNIFER TODAY! SHE IS THE BEST! I can’t say enough wonderful things about Jennifer and her family. They are the nicest people I have met in a long time. I’m not just saying this either. JENNIFER ANSWERS TEXT IN A TIMELY MANNER. She scheduled a meet & greet and showed me where my baby girl would be staying and her back yard is big enough to fit an entire litter of pups/dogs without them bumping into each other. My baby stayed with Jennifer & family for 7 days. I even messed up on drop off/pick up time and she was very understanding. This was my first time using this service and Jennifer helped me through the process. Anyone who has read this far, believe this if you believe nothing else-for her price YOU WILL RECEIVE MORE THAN YOU EXPECT! She was so amazing my baby isn’t talking to me because she wants to go back?. I genuinely will not use anyone else. BOOK JENNIFER TODAY! ❤️”

“Taylor was amazing while we were away! She kept our two cats happy and well fed while we were out as well, it seems they had a great time and I would definitely consider her in the future!”
“Adrianna really went above and beyond with our beloved daughter Rosie. She cleaned the litter box and also fed our many fish while we were out of town. Kelsey and I are very grateful!”
“Emily was wonderful! My kitties really loved her because they were in such a good mood when we got home. She even brought some very heavy packages in that were delivered while we were gone. We will definitely rebook with her!”
About: I’ve always loved animals and originally wanted to become a veterinarian growing up. Now, as a pre-nursing student at AU, I still love having the opportunity to care for others — especially animals. I grew up with a childhood dog that I was completely inseparable from. Even when I was little, I helped feed her, walk her, play with her, and even helped with training. Those experiences are a huge part of why I love pet care so much today. My family now has two dogs that we got while I was in high school, and I love visiting them every chance I get. I’m definitely the type of person who immediately gravitates toward the dog at any social gathering. I’ve been pet sitting and dog walking for friends, family, and neighbors since I was around 10 years old, and even more frequently once I started driving at 16. I’m very attentive to each pet’s individual needs, whether that means going on runs with high-energy dogs or taking slower walks and giving extra comfort and attention to more relaxed pets. My goal is always to make pets feel safe, happy, and so loved while their owners are away. I also worked on a ranch last summer where I cared for dogs, cats, horses, donkeys, chickens, and ducks, which gave me even more hands-on experience with a wide variety of animals and personalities. Although I didn’t grow up with cats, I’ve done plenty of cat sitting over the years and absolutely love them as well. I know every cat is different, and I’m always patient and attentive to their routines and comfort level. Pet care fits very naturally into my daily routine. I work a 9–5 job during the week, but I have an hour lunch break that gives me flexibility for walks, check-ins, or midday care. I also usually go on a run in the mornings and take walks after work or after dinner, so I’m very used to staying active and would love bringing a dog along if they enjoy extra exercise. On weekends, I’m available all day and have a much more flexible schedule for walks, drop-ins, playtime, or overnight care. I live in a two-level apartment/townhouse with plenty of space for pets to be comfortable and move around. There’s grass right outside for easy bathroom breaks and walks, plus a balcony and a dog park within my apartment complex for extra exercise and playtime. I keep a clean, safe, and calm environment and always make sure pets are supervised, comfortable, and sticking to their normal routines as much as possible. When caring for pets in a client’s home, I’m very respectful of both the home and the pet’s routine. I know consistency is important for animals, so I always try to keep them comfortable by following feeding schedules, walk routines, and any specific instructions closely.
“Abby did an amazing job taking care of our pets! We had a few hiccups during her care which were no ones fault, and she went above and beyond to do everything I needed! We will be using her again!”
“Brandi took excellent care of our cat while we were out of town! She gave us frequent updates (even when Momo was making it difficult by hiding) and was very consistent and reliable.”
About: I am a graduate of UAB and am currently attending Auburn University as part of UAB’s Rural Medicine Program. I will start medical school at UAB next fall. I’ve been around dogs for 18 years, including having five dogs of my own which vary in breed and size. My dog, Jax, has been my best friend throughout college and goes everywhere with me! I have extensive personal experience working with dogs that require special care, such as medications and food restrictions. Additionally, I have experience with reactive and aggressive dogs. I understand every dog has certain needs or wants to be happy, mentally and physically. I don’t believe in bad dogs! Every dog has their own personality and traits that make them special, and I am dedicated to learning the best way to handle and communicate with every dog I encounter to ensure an effective relationship. I look forward to talking with you and meeting your precious pups in the future! Please let me know if you have any questions or concerns. I have classes every weekday morning until around 11-12:30, depending on the day. I have one class for two hours on Monday evenings. I do occasionally travel to visit family on weekends. I have a fenced in backyard with plenty of space to play. There is shade, water, and the gates are reinforced to prevent runaways! Additionally, the house has additional space for a dog to hang out and avoid interaction, if they desire.
About: I have experience caring for cats through fostering and veterinary medicine. I have cared for cats of all ages and needs, including pregnant cats, newborn kittens, orphaned kittens, senior cats, and sick or recovering cats. I also have experience as a kennel technician and veterinary assistant, which further strengthened my skills in feline handling. Through these experiences, I have become adept in recognizing signs of illness, administering medications, and ensuring cats remain comfortable and stress-free. I am comfortable caring for cats with a wide range of personalities, medical needs, and activity levels, and I treat every cat as if they were my own!
“Emma took the time to find our kitten who was hidden every time she visited. She sent pics and stayed in contact with me. She also took care of our trash for us while we were out of town. Will definitely use again!”
About: I have been fostering and taking care of dogs since I was 11. I have worked with everything from puppies to senior dogs. I am comfortable with all sizes and energy levels! I am currently on summer break, so I have plenty of free time to check in and walk your dog! I’d love to get my steps in and be able to give your dog some exercise! I love to make the experience as comfortable as possible for your dog. I build trust by letting the dog approach me and working with their specific needs. I always am looking to top off their water and make sure they are as happy as can be!
“Alexia was amazing to work with! She took great care of our cat while we were out of town and was always very communicative and helped us work around any scheduling conflicts. Highly recommend!”

Perfect for high energy dogs - Whatley Cross Road
About: In my opinion, dogs are the purest form of love. I've owned a dog for the past 15 years, and I honestly couldn't imagine my life without her. I spend most of my free time in the yard reading while Ruby explores the fenced-in area. We also enjoy being lazy inside. I do not have kids, so I treat my dog like my child. As a teacher, I’m on summer break from June 2 through July 17! When school is in session, my work day ends around 4 and then I'm free after that. I normally take my dog for a walk before work (between 6:30-7:30) and in the evening anytime between 4:30-9:00. I am available throughout the week and on weekends. I love animals, and I love caring for them. I promise to treat your animal like my own. I am currently on summer break and home every day!! I work full time from 7:30-4:30 every weekday. When I get home from work, my evenings are free and open to providing time for pets. I have a small fenced-in backyard. We live in a townhome that is within a quiet and safe neighborhood. There is a park nearby that is great for walking dogs.
About: I have been caring for pets my whole life. I've cared for all pets from dogs to reptiles. I have had many puppies and a few senior dogs as well. I am very knowledgeable about dog care. I have been a dog sitter several times for friends and family. My family consists of a dog, a cat, a leopard gecko, and two sweet guinea pigs! I have experience with all kinds of animals, including small animals and reptiles! I am a volunteer with Auburn University's Natural History Museum and handle and care for multiple different species of animals. I am a full-time college student studying wildlife ecology. Most of my classes are online, so my schedule is open most of the time! In my own home, I treat all my animals like they are my biological children (which they are). They are extremely spoiled, and I love them dearly. I would definitely extend this love towards a client's pet because I love animals, no matter the size or species!
About: I’ve had a dog my whole life, to me a home isn’t a home without one! As of right now I have three dogs, one that lives with me full time. I rescued him from a shelter and I love training him and watching him grow up. I would be a great help with training or just simply giving love and attention to your sweet pup ! I work part time at an Auburn country club with the flexibility of being able to leave in the middle of the day when needed. I am near tons of dog parks, I take my dog, Bear, everyday that it’s not raining, and he gets along great with every pet including cats. I also love to run and go on walks and wouldn’t mind having a furry companion.
About: I have cared for animals my whole life. I've taken care of them when abandoned by the mother, sick, or disabled. I have experience doing basic training. My own pets pile on me the second I sit down. I've never had a pet pass the rainbow bridge before the age of ten. I love animals so much and I will love yours too! **** I like to send many pictures and updates. Please do not feel obligated to reply to each one. Dont worry, I know you are busy**** Taking care of animals is all I want to do. I am a stay-at-home mom and my youngest is 16. I have plenty of time on my hands and love. I have fully fenced yard in a safe neighborhood. I have a pug of my own who doesn't mind other animals. I usually keep him in the bedroom for the first couple hours. I have two inside/outside cats who are also very friendly to people and animals. If I am sitting cats and dogs together, I will usually keep the two separate. Cats upstairs and dogs downstairs. Don't worry about attention. There is plenty to go around! If I'm caring for your babies at your house, I will follow the rules you provide.
About: I have grown up with dogs my entire life as well as dog and cat sitting since I was 16 years old. I have helped potty train dogs as well as bird dog training. I own my own company and create my own hours so pet sitting fits perfectly with my schedule. I am able to sit whenever I want to and keep up with my own work. I live in an apartment where we have balconies that have locks and railings to keep animals safe as well as a fenced in dog park for any playtime activities. We also have a safe complex where we can do long walks. For safety purposes cats are not allowed on the balcony while with me. We also have doors with special codes so animals can not escape and doors at either of the hall where pets can not make it down the stairs on their own.
About: Growing up in a family-owned animal hospital, I developed a strong passion for animal care from an early age and gained hands-on experience working with a wide variety of species. I have personally cared for four dogs and a rabbit, giving me a deep understanding of daily pet care, responsibility, and animal behavior. In addition to personal experience, I worked as a Veterinary Assistant at an animal hospital and shelter throughout my senior year of high school and during my freshman and sophomore years of college. In this role, I assisted with patient care, monitored animals, maintained clean and safe environments, and supported veterinarians and staff with daily operations. I also volunteer at a horse ranch during my free time, where I assist with animal care and ranch responsibilities. My background has allowed me to become comfortable working with animals of all sizes and temperaments while developing strong compassion, communication, and caregiving skills. currently work from home, which allows me to have a flexible schedule and dedicate plenty of time to animal care and attention throughout the day. Pet care is naturally built into my daily routine, and I enjoy maintaining a structured schedule to ensure animals receive consistent care, exercise, and companionship. I have four personal dogs and regularly spend time finding new walking trails, parks, and outdoor areas to take my pack on adventures and exercise outings. Staying active with my dogs is something I genuinely enjoy and prioritize. Safety and trust are extremely important to me when caring for pets, whether in my own home or in a client’s home. Growing up in a family-owned animal hospital and working as a Veterinary Assistant taught me how to properly handle animals, recognize behavioral changes, and maintain clean, safe, and stress-free environments for pets of all sizes and temperaments. I am very organized and dependable, so I like to keep pets on their normal routines as much as possible, including feeding schedules, potty breaks, walks, medications, playtime, and rest. I also make sure pets always have fresh water, a clean environment, and plenty of attention and exercise throughout the day. Because I work from home, I have a flexible schedule and am able to provide consistent supervision, companionship, and care. I have four dogs of my own, so I understand the importance of patience, safety, and treating every animal like family. I also enjoy taking dogs on walks and exploring new trails and outdoor spaces to keep them active and engaged. When caring for pets in a client’s home, I respect their space, carefully follow all instructions, and prioritize communication by providing updates and photos so owners feel comfortable and informed while they are away.
About: I have over 15 years of experience with all types of animals. I have a deep affection for animals and understand the importance of their well-being. Whether it’s a playful dog or a curious cat, I always take the time to understand their unique behaviors and needs. I am attentive and patient, ensuring they feel comfortable, loved, and secure. For pet owners, knowing that I can offer reliable care provides peace of mind—whether it’s a quick check-in, a thoughtful response to any concerns, or simply understanding how to make their pets feel at ease. My love for animals is grounded in the belief that pets deserve kindness, respect, and consistent care. I focus on building a trusting bond with each pet so they feel comfortable and safe in my presence. For pet owners, this trust is invaluable—it means you can leave home knowing that your furry friend is not just in good hands, but in the hands of someone who genuinely loves and cares for them as if they were my own. I will be taking this position fulltime ensuring exercise and playtime, feeding and medication routine, rest and comfort. Incorporating pet care into my daily and weekly routine ensures your pet receives consistent attention, love, and the appropriate level of care to keep them healthy, happy, and safe. Your pet’s well-being is always a priority, and my routine revolves around meeting their physical, emotional, and social needs. My home is pet-proofed to ensure there are no hazards, such as toxic plants, sharp objects, or unsafe areas that your pet could access. All windows and doors are securely closed or locked to prevent any escapes, and I always monitor pets closely when they’re outside to ensure they’re safely contained. Your pet will have a designated, cozy sleeping area that is safe and comfortable, whether it’s their bed, crate, or a spot they’re familiar with. I will ensure that this area is free from distractions and potential dangers, allowing them to rest peacefully and securely. I’ll keep your pet’s daily routine consistent, including feeding times, exercise, and rest. If they’re on medication or need specific care, I will ensure they receive the correct dosage at the right times. Sticking to their usual routine helps minimize stress and makes them feel more at home in my care.

“Zymeria was outstanding with our 2 corgi puppies. She has such a positive demeanor and loves animals. She took our dogs on walks, fed, and played with them. We were very impressed with Zymeria and her care of Frankie and Scout. We highly recommend her and hope to utilize her exceptional services again soon.”
“My dog and I are so thrilled to have found Lauren & Hunter!! Lauren has been extraordinarily kind and communicative ever since the initial booking this past weekend to the conclusion of the doggie daycare experience tonight, and I so appreciate it! She sent me tons of photos and updates throughout the day which was awesome, and I could tell my little guy was in great hands with her and her family! I would absolutely love to work with Lauren & Hunter again, and would certainly recommend them to anyone else!! Thanks again :)”
About: Our dogs have always been family and I can't recall any time in my entire life when I haven't had a dog at my side, sometimes two or three. I've had dogs of all sizes and energy levels. The longest boarding was for two months while the pup parent traveled in Asia. I've had dogs on my small ranch in NV and we rode trails together. They moved with me to CO and we enjoyed the mountains and front range together. I drove cross-country many times with my dogs, stayed in hotels and visited friends and family with them. My dogs are always a priority in all we do and I will care for your pups as I do mine. Be assured that I will follow any special instructions you give to provide your pet a safe, happy, stress-free stay. I recently rescued a deaf puppy who was in the middle of the road, and took care of her until a new, loving home was secured. I checked on her later and she is happy with her people and dog family. I am retired and always home. I spend my days gardening, cooking, squirrel and bird-watching, helping at church, and making greeting cards. My two dogs are with me the entire day. We will give your pup lots of company and love. I prefer to sit for one client at a time and max two dogs at a time. I look forward to meeting you and your pups. It's a good day any day that you meet new friends with fur. They bring joy to life. I have a 1/2 acre and a huge fenced yard for play and romping. Your dog will not be put outside for any length of time without my oversight. I am frequently out in the yard, relaxing, weeding, planting and pruning. Safety is number one and focused, pleasant care are my priorities. I want to be sure that the pups have my undivided attention. My two small dogs and I will give your pup lots of company assuring that he or she is acclimated and gets to know us. Our home is comfortable and happy. Does your pup enjoy endless belly rubs? Mine do and I have plenty to share. I prefer to sit for one client and max two dogs at a time. Photos of your pup's day are provided, if requested. I feed my dogs twice a day and give them one treat after their meals. I will feed your dogs at the time of day you prefer. We will only give your pup treats that you provide. I will follow your feeding schedule and administer meds if needed. My early career was 20 years as a hospital clinical laboratory scientist and then as a director. I've medicated my dogs and horses and given shots, so I know all the techniques needed to administer meds for your dog. Be assured, I recognize a dog's body language if in pain, stressed, or sick and will notify you immediately of any serious issues. I will follow your instructions if vet services are needed. My senior dog, Vivvie requires a special diet, so I make homemade dog food, veterinarian approved. No table scraps for her or for dogs in my care.
About: I have taken care of dogs and cats of all kinds since I could walk. Neighbors, friends, and family have relied on me to walk, feed, play, and take care of their pets. I love snuggles and playtime! I currently work from home and have free time to take care of any needs of your pets! I am active and love taking them for walks and playtime. I have a yard and two sweet pups to keep your pets company. I have a separate spare bedroom that your pet can stay in if they need space from other animals.
“Wow! My 4-legged boys LOVED their visit with Ashley. She pampered them with attention, walks and Scooby snacks. Ashley is a true animal lover - warm, ebullient and so wonderful about keeping in touch with photos and videos. Highly recommend and will use her A+ doggie daycare again.”
“This is the right person for your pup — Tori was amazing with Salle. I only needed a sitter for a few hours while I went into the archives for a research trip and she stepped up, was caring, asked the right questions (pre vet student) and fun (throw in a pup cup). Sal didn’t hesitate to hang with her and cried a little when she left- wouldn’t hesitate to leave my dog with her again!”
“This was my first time using Rover for my dog Bambi. Safe to say she had a great experience staying with Danielle and her animals. She sent us pictures and kept us updated throughout the day. Bambi was worn out and a happy pup when we picked her up! 10/10 service and recommend to anyone in the area.”

In this role, I assisted with patient care, monitored animals, maintained clean and safe environments, and supported veterinarians and staff with daily operations. I also volunteer at a horse ranch during my free time, where I assist with animal care and ranch responsibilities. My background has allowed me to become comfortable working with animals of all sizes and temperaments while developing strong compassion, communication, and caregiving skills. currently work from home, which allows me to have a flexible schedule and dedicate plenty of time to animal care and attention throughout the day. Pet care is naturally built into my daily routine, and I enjoy maintaining a structured schedule to ensure animals receive consistent care, exercise, and companionship. I have four personal dogs and regularly spend time finding new walking trails, parks, and outdoor areas to take my pack on adventures and exercise outings. Staying active with my dogs is something I genuinely enjoy and prioritize. Safety and trust are extremely important to me when caring for pets, whether in my own home or in a client’s home. Growing up in a family-owned animal hospital and working as a Veterinary Assistant taught me how to properly handle animals, recognize behavioral changes, and maintain clean, safe, and stress-free environments for pets of all sizes and temperaments. I am very organized and dependable, so I like to keep pets on their normal routines as much as possible, including feeding schedules, potty breaks, walks, medications, playtime, and rest. I also make sure pets always have fresh water, a clean environment, and plenty of attention and exercise throughout the day. Because I work from home, I have a flexible schedule and am able to provide consistent supervision, companionship, and care. I have four dogs of my own, so I understand the importance of patience, safety, and treating every animal like family. I also enjoy taking dogs on walks and exploring new trails and outdoor spaces to keep them active and engaged. When caring for pets in a client’s home, I respect their space, carefully follow all instructions, and prioritize communication by providing updates and photos so owners feel comfortable and informed while they are away.
About: I am a graduate of UAB and am currently attending Auburn University as part of UAB’s Rural Medicine Program. I will start medical school at UAB next fall. I’ve been around dogs for 18 years, including having five dogs of my own which vary in breed and size. My dog, Jax, has been my best friend throughout college and goes everywhere with me! I have extensive personal experience working with dogs that require special care, such as medications and food restrictions. Additionally, I have experience with reactive and aggressive dogs. I understand every dog has certain needs or wants to be happy, mentally and physically. I don’t believe in bad dogs! Every dog has their own personality and traits that make them special, and I am dedicated to learning the best way to handle and communicate with every dog I encounter to ensure an effective relationship. I look forward to talking with you and meeting your precious pups in the future! Please let me know if you have any questions or concerns. I have classes every weekday morning until around 11-12:30, depending on the day. I have one class for two hours on Monday evenings. I do occasionally travel to visit family on weekends. I have a fenced in backyard with plenty of space to play. There is shade, water, and the gates are reinforced to prevent runaways! Additionally, the house has additional space for a dog to hang out and avoid interaction, if they desire.

“Loved Kaia and Desean! My little guy had sooo much fun! He was pretty much worthless for 3 days after picking him up because he was so tired! (And he can go for hours, so this made me extra happy lol) Will definitely be using them again and would highly recommend them if you have a friendly and hyper dog. :)”
“We were looking for someone to make Spirit feel right at home. We feel like we accomplished that with Laura. She and Spirit hit it off right away. We plan on using her many more times in the future.”
“⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ I honestly wish I could give more than 5 stars! Wags and Whiskers Play and Stay was an absolute blessing to me during an unexpected emergency trip out of town. From the very beginning, Sandra and Mark made me feel completely at ease leaving my dog, Lex Luther in their care—and that peace of mind is priceless. They went above and beyond! I received regular updates, including videos and pictures, which meant so much to me. It was clear Lex wasn’t just being “watched,” but truly cared for, loved, and engaged. They played, had treats, and my dog looked comfortable and happy the entire time. When I picked Lex up, I could tell he had been well taken care of—calm, content, and not stressed at all. That speaks volumes! If you’re looking for someone trustworthy, attentive, and genuinely passionate about animals, I highly recommend Wags and Whiskers Play and Stay. I will definitely be using them again!”
“Katie did such a great job watching Ellie while we were away. She was very considerate about making sure she had all the information about Ellie to make her stay as comfortable as possible. She also sent some many great pictures/videos and updates to put us at ease that she was being well taken care of.”
“Autumn was AMAZING!! She is so flexible whenever I needed to leave my dog a little longer. I so enjoyed the frequent pictures and videos. She is great and your dog would be in great hands!!”
“Great experience! Our dogs were well cared for, and we appreciated the photos, updates, and the wonderful interaction with them. Thank you for taking such good care of our pets!”
“I would recommend highly! Great communication and loved all the pictures!! She watched my beloved doggo for 9 days and I almost think she (my pup) didn’t want to leave since she had such an amazing time!!”
“I can't say enough great things about Mrs. Heather! From the moment we met, it was clear how much she genuinely cares for animals. She was incredibly attentive! Throughout the stay, I received updates, including photos and messages that truly gave me peace of mind. My dog, who can be a nervous at first when meeting new people, warmed up to them almost immediately which says a lot! When I returned, it was obvious that my dog had been well taken care of and had even formed a bond with Mrs. Heather! It’s rare to find someone who treats your pet like their own! I wouldn’t hesitate to book again and highly recommend them to anyone looking for a trustworthy, caring, and truly AWESOME person to take care of your dog! ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️”
About: Hi there! My name is Natasha and I would love to spoil your dog! From malteses to rottweilers I have had many dogs as a young'un; all with very different personalities. I've dog sat for Rover clients, friends and employers (on farms and in the city). My apartment has been a revolving door for amazing pooches. My dog care style is "play, pass out, repeat". Big or small, I'm very good at tuckering dogs out. I grew up with rottweilers and have a penchant for adorable pitbulls so I do not shy away from large breeds as long as your dog is trained. I took a short break from Rover but I've still been sitting beautiful pups and I look forward to taking care of yours! Two day mininum for new dog sitting cients. I work freelance so I am able to give your pup (s) lot's of love! Occassionally I will have to leave the house for two to four hours at a time so if your pup needs constant hourly care, I may not be the right match. I respect the pet parent's rules. If the dog is not allowed on the couch, they won't be on the couch. If you need the toilet seat down because they like to drink the water, no problem! Dogs need structure and I do not plan on breaking it (unless it's more play on behalf of the parent, of course).
“Kayla is the best. She showed patience and understanding for my furbaby whom never stayed with anyone before. He received lots of love and got a chance to have a play date.”

“Brian, his wife, and his home are the perfect place to board your dog. My dog Cali has felt right at home and couldn't be any more spoiled. The attention, energy, and love she recieved while staying with them couldn't have been more perfect. Their house was immaculate, the yard, and location is perfect. Brian is easy to communicate with and responsive and very flexible. I was going out of town for work and needed a place for my dog and wasn't sure how long I'd be gone. They were helpful and extending was easy. If you're looking for a loving home away from home you don't need to look any farther.”

“This was my first Rover experience and how amazing it was! Selau was able to help me board my 8 week old kitten last minute. She was great with communicating to book and along the way. I loved getting updates and pictures of my little girl too! It’s great to have someone who is kind and caring for our fur babies to help when we may have to step away! 10/10 and will certainly be back when I might need the help again! Best experience for me and my little kitten!🩷🫶🏻”
