“Kayte was awesome 10/10 ,Lola was in super good hands when we were traveling. Such a good and caring family definitely we will come back 🤗. Once again Thank you Kayte and Kayte’s family for your kindness and love to Lola,see you soon !”

“Brittany is super awesome! Everytime I've brought my dog to her, he's exhausted for days afterwards, which is amazing since he's such a ball of energy. A tired dog is a happy dog, and from what I can tell, my dog is very happy at Brittany's place! I highly recommend giving Brittany a try! 😄”
“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”
“Doug was very kind to us and extremely hospitable to our cocker spaniel, Charlie, while we were gone for the week. He sent daily updates and time stamps on potties/feedings/medicines, which is even more than we asked for. He gave our dog plenty of walks and stimulation, and send lots of pictures. We feel very comfortable leaving Charlie with Doug again!”

“Jessica was great! We got pictures every day and a video too! We could tell she made our old girl comfortable and happy in a new environment. She also has a one level house with no stairs to the backyard which is great for dogs with arthritis. We will definitely use her again next time we go out of town!”

“Wade & Morgan were fantastic hosts for our dog Boone over Memorial Day Weekend. Boone had a ball playing with their dog Atlas for 3 days. Wade and Morgan sent pictures and provided updates everyday. Would highly recommend!”

“Tatiana was a great host for Wallace! She was so kind and came to the rescue in short notice. Would highly recommend her to anyone with a dog who loves kids and would definitely repeat.”

“This was our first time using a dog sitter and Sarah was fantastic with our dog. She was very well taken care of while we were on vacation. We will definitely be booking with Sarah again.”

“I had to take a last minute trip out of state and used Rover for the first time. I chose Libby and she was absolutely wonderful. She was easy to book last minute and she took good care of my fur babies. I have a 9 year old Samoyed/Husky mix and a 6 month old Samoyed. She was very responsive and sent the best pictures and videos of my babies. I highly recommend her and I will definitely book with Libby again in the future.”


“My dog Kona had another great stay with Kelsey! I would absolutely recommend her. She is super accommodating, quick to get back to you and sends the best photos. Kona always has such a great time playing with her dogs and going for walks on the beach.”

“Cody and his wife were amazing! Not only did they treat Linus like a member of the family, but they were also super flexible when my flight was very delayed. Highly, highly recommend!”


“Barrie loved my dog so well! He had lots of love and attention and was so happy when I came to pick him up. Will definitely rebook when I am in Birmingham again.”

“Jonathan and family were so kind and took great care of our dog Sookie. They were very accommodating and did a great job of communicating while we were out of town. I would 100% use Jonathan again to keep our doggie. Thank you!”

“Kimberley and her family were wonderful hosts for Bailey!!!! We had a meet and greet first, and she was very gentle with Bailey with the introduction of her other two cute pups! I really appreciated that! With the stay, she sent pictures and updated me! I really enjoyed meeting her and her family and loved that she took great care of him! She has become definitely my number 1 rover sitter!”

“Amazing sitter. Both times now Sansa has been loved and absolutely loved her stay. She’s been incredibly happy both times and there’s always a large amount of communication with daily updates.”

About: I can't remember a time in my life I did not have my own pets. I have taken care of my own pets all of my life and am a lifelong animal caregiver. I have experience as a foster mom for an animal rescue as well and I enjoyed taking care of so many different babies and helping them find their forever homes. I have always had both cat and dog companions and have advocated and helped friends and family with their pets as well. I currently have a senior dog, a senior cat, who have both been with me for over 13 years, three cats who are two years old and a leopard gecko! I would love to meet you and help with your pet care needs!
“Brittany was fantastic. We were on a cruise for a week and worried about not being in good contact, but she was great communicating with us and sending pics throughout the week to let us know the cats were doing well!”


“Julianna was on time, kind, and patient with our cat. He is very timid around new people and we appreciate that she took her time with him and took care of his needs. This was the longest we’ve been away from our cat and we could tell he was doing well with each photo and feedback received!”

About: I first fell in love with cats when I was a little girl. I have a pit bull and Labrador , and the rest is history. I believe my calm demeanor puts most cats at ease, even the ones I have been told are shy around new people.

“I can’t say enough great things about Rachel! They took amazing care of our Miniature Dachshund, Ollie, while we were in town for the Supercross race. It was clear from the start that she truly loves and understands dogs. Ollie was happy, well-cared for, and I received regular updates, which gave me complete peace of mind. Finding someone you can trust with your pet is priceless, and I’m so grateful to have found Rachel. Wished we lived closer so I could continue to use her services. She has the sweetest little family too. We Highly recommend!!!”

“Libby is so wonderful with my foster pup Mission. Mission is a shy boy around new people, and Libby is so understanding and caring. Mission looks forward to more time with Libby and her pups.”

“Dave and his family (including his canine kiddos!) were AMAZING! I cannot speak highly enough or give enough kudos and praise! Dave was an excellent communicator; he was warm, welcoming, and caring. My little guy was happy and excited to see Dave’s pups and Dave, and to me, says everything I need to know!”

About: • Lots Of Playtime • 24/7 Supervision (We Work From Home) • A Loving Home Environment • 2 Best Friends: Two Pet Pals For Your Fur Friend Our routine is designed to provide the utmost care and attention to your furry family member while accommodating our work-from-home schedule. We kickstart the day with a morning walk or play session with our own fur friends. We would love to do the same for yours! This ensures your pet is active, happy, and ready for the day ahead. Working from home is a blessing. It allows us to check in on all furry best friends to ensure the pets stay well-hydrated, have bathroom breaks, and receive love and companionship. This helps alleviate any separation anxiety! We love playing with them to keep your pet mentally and physically stimulated. This helps prevent boredom and restlessness. No matter how many times your pet requires feeding during the day, we will make sure they receive their meals, following any dietary guidelines you've provided. Before calling it a night, we perform a final check to ensure your pet is comfortable and secure. This includes making sure they have access to water and are settled for a good night's sleep. We have a fenced house where our own dogs run and play freely. We never leave them fully unsupervised, especially when they are sick, or they are too young or too old. We will maintain open communication with you, providing updates on your pet's activities, well-being, and any special moments or concerns. We are happy to send as many pictures/videos & updates as you'd like to make sure you feel comfortable. Our goal is to give you peace of mind knowing your beloved companion is in good hands.
“Sarah was so great!!! Needed a very last minute dog sitter and she came through for me! She could not have been any sweeter or more accommodating! Will definitely be calling her again!”

About: I’ve had dogs my whole life, my mom and grandmother started the humane society in my hometown so we have always taken care of animals. I will take care of your dog like it was my own. I love all animals but especially dogs! I currently work from home so I am available to watch your dog during the day or overnight boarding. I can do drop ins or walks after 4pm. My wife is a RN so she is home 4 days a week to help watch and play with your dog also! Someone will always be available to supervise your pet and can update you with pictures through their stay! I have a fenced in yard and a dog door so they have access to come in and out as they please. I also have a big energetic German shepherd lab mix that will play with your dog all day! We have daily frisbee tosses and fetch in the backyard.
“Kendall was great with our puppy Phoebe. She answered all my questions as I was a first time Rover user. We loved receiving an update and photo while we were away. I will definitely book her again, next time we are in town.”

“I reached out to Mrs. Kim on very short notice after my dog sitter bailed on me days prior to a week long vacation I had scheduled. Mrs.Kim was very accommodating with my request. She does frequent updates and made my baby a part of her pact, and now my dog loves it there! 100% recommend Mrs. Kim and her family and will be using her again and again !”

“Kelsey is a long-time favorite of my big dog, but my little dog has only had one other sitter (and daycare at the vet, where she hid terrified under a bench the whole time). My little dog is poorly socialized and greets new situations with a growl, but I knew Kelsey would do careful, slow introductions and make sure she was comfortable. And boy was she! Both my girls had an absolute blast and the pictures prove it. They barely even cared when I came to pick them up! So grateful we can trust Kelsey to make sure all the dogs are happy and having fun :)”

“I was so nervous to trust someone with my new puppy. However, Kayte was so kind, understanding and patient with me. Our puppy really blossomed in her care and enjoyed spending time with her family. She was excited to go back each day and was exhausted from all the playing when she came home. Great experience!”

About: Not only have I been dog sitting for the last 15 years, but I also have a lot of other experience with pet care! I have worked in a pet store as well as in veterinary offices when I used to live back in Indiana so I have learned a lot about caring for animals. I attended veterinary nursing school too before I moved, but I didn’t get to finish before moving down here and am currently looking to re start schooling here in Alabama. While I there I gained even more knowledge on animal health and care. I was the kennel manager for the shelter pets that we had at the school, where I was in charge of administering oral and IV/IM pet medication. I have experience working with elderly pets with medical issues as my own fur baby who passed in 2025 suffered from CHF and she required a lot of extra care towards the end. I love all types of animals and have experience caring for not only just dogs and cats. Over the years I have owned reptiles, turtles, and currently own 2 rabbits as well as 2 cats and 1 dog! If you book with me I will treat your pet as though they were my own so you can rest easy knowing they are loved and taken care of! I only work part time, so I have a very flexible schedule. I will have plenty of time to spend time with your pet! I am not typically away from home for very long, so I will be able to regularly come to check on your pet. I have a large fenced in yard and a dog door that my two dogs go in and out of freely. I will walk or run with your dog daily. There is usually always someone in my house at home at all times, who all love to interact with dogs. I have one other dogs. She is typically nice with other dogs but can be very skittish, so they would need to be introduced prior to being watched. The safety and comfort of all of the dogs including my own are my priority, so it needs to be a good fit. My dog does love to play a lot so they usually enjoy having another furry friend to play with. My 2 cats and 2 rabbits also live in the home, but the layout of the house allows them to stay in the upstairs portion of the house and it is blocked off to allow them to be separated. They all get along, but I feel more comfortable to allow them to have their own spaces.

“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!”

About: Hi! My whole life has resolved around dogs and I couldn’t imagine a world without them! I grew up with a daushaund, 2 labs, and a cocker spaniel so I am comfortable with all shapes and sizes of dogs.

We don’t have any children so we will have plenty of time to devote to your pup to make sure he or she has the best day ever! My husband and I both work from home 100% of the time so we will have plenty of time to care for your pup! We are available Monday through Friday and are super flexible with the times! We have a fenced in back yard and live in a safe neighborhood with lots of walking trails around us. We have year old golden retriever who LOVES other dogs and can’t wait to meet new friends!

About: Loved and cared for animals my whole life. With about six years of experience in the veterinary field, I currently work as a receptionist at a clinic in Hoover, AL, and have been pet sitting for about three years. I am a proud owner of four dogs, and we absolutely love having extra company and making new friends! I have extensive experience caring for dogs of all sizes and temperaments, ensuring that they feel at home with us. I currently work full time, but I still make sure to allow plenty of time for playing and interacting with your pets! I am available for drop offs and pickups after 6 pm during weekdays. I have a 6ft chain link fence for potty breaks and play times and your pet is never left outside unattended. My 4 dogs loves making new friends but if your pet seems a bit shy about meeting my dogs, I’ll separate them and rotate the rooms with my dogs and your pet. This way, everyone can get some love and time to explore the house, and your pet will feel more comfortable. They can even treat my home as their own and are welcome on the furniture and bed for snuggles. During feeding time, I feed each pet in their own crate or in separate rooms to prevent any accidents.
About: Throughout my life I have had all sorts of pets. I have lots of experience with cats and dogs, but have also cared for small mammals like hamsters and rats. I have some experience with reptiles, fish and birds! As a homeschool mom, my schedule is pretty flexible but I will often need to bring my two "animal loving" boys along with me for extra help! I am homeschool mom of two boys (ages 6 & 9) so my schedule is pretty flexible, but I do need to bring them with me most of the time! Here is my typical weekly schedule: Sunday 12pm-6pm Monday 8am-2pm Tuesday 8am-6pm Wednesday 8am-2pm Thursday 8am-6pm Friday 8am-6pm Saturday 8am-6pm I am available to check on your pets throughout the day, feed when needed, and take them for short walks while you are at work, out of town, or simply not able to care for them on your own.
About: I have worked with various breeds from a Newfoundland to a Pomeranian. My family owns two dogs that have had two litters of puppies so I have experience with dogs from new born to seniors. I also have a two furbabies of my own. I’m highly motivated and energetic, I don’t mind taking high energy dogs for long walks/ runs or just snuggling up and comforting dogs with separation anxiety. I don’t mind taking your dog on field trips, weather it’s to the lake or the dog park or just playing inside on rainy days! I love all breeds of dogs even ones considered “bully breeds” those are the sweetest in my opinion. For dog boarding if you have your dogs trained a certain way (staying off furniture) I can certainly enforce that while they are at my house. I can also work with any other needs like that if it is needed. Such as if your dogs do not get along with other dogs I can always put mine up in their room. The dogs will always meet in a neutral area before brought in the house to make sure they get along! I am currently attending school online so my schedule is open and very flexible! Whether your dog just needs a walk midday, someone to feed them while you’re at work, or someone to come stay with them/ to come stay with me and my pup because they aren’t good alone at home! I am currently in an house it does not have a fenced in backyard but i do have a big backyard and tie outs. I also have 2 furbabies to keep your pup comapany! If your dog is reactive i will make sure to keep a close eye on our surroundings while on walks!
About: I’ve taken care of animals for around 3 years now. 2 years being with family and friends relying on me to watch, feed, and walk their animals. I have worked in an animal hospital around a year now! I am currently working full time, so I will have open availability as of right now, and plenty of time to spend with your fur babies! I have a big yard and a room in my house just for pups! In the room there is different size crates, bowls, and many toys! I can easily crate your dog in the room or outside.

About: I have grown up with animals my entire life. Caring for animals has been my life long ambition. I understand the importance of trusting someone to care for your fur babies. My fiancé And I love training and exercising with them every day and they push us to be the best we can be. They bring so much joy and happiness to our life. I have 5 years experience pet sitting for friends and family as well. They are the support system that told me about this app. Work from home but it’s not very demanding. Extremely flexible schedule. Pets need routines just as much as humans do for a sense of calm and safety. To continue to keep your (our) fur baby safe I will keep trash cans covered or inside a latched cabinet. Move all chemicals to high shelves or behind secure doors. Keep cords, chargers, and other potentially harmful items out of reach.
About: I have owned and cared for several dogs over the years, including my current Maltipoo. I’m experienced with daily care routines like feeding, walking, potty training, and providing attentive, loving companionship.

I prioritize attentive, one-on-one care and can fully meet your pet’s needs without distractions I have a fenced-in yard that allows for safe, outdoor play time. I also live in a very walkable area so plenty of exercise can be achieved if needed. I have my own male maltipoo who loves to meet and play with other animals as well. Specific care routines will be attended to per request.

About: As someone who has had pets in the home for as long as I can remember, I know it is important for them to be in a loving, patient, and attentive environment and I thrive in providing environments that are such! I work from home and I’m a SAHM, so pet care fits naturally into my daily routine. I have a flexible schedule, which allows me to give pets plenty of attention, playtime, potty breaks, and supervision throughout the day. I have a large fenced in backyard and only two cats inside the home. I make sure that the pets that I care for have enough space of their own but are also attended to closely.
About: I’ve been caring for dogs most of my life, ever since I was first introduced to them at nine years old. I’ve spent the most time with American and European bloodline Great Danes — a breed I absolutely adore, though I love all dogs deeply. In 2022, I worked for a professional dog care business, where I was responsible for four European Great Danes daily — all in the same home. I walked each dog three times a day, fed them individually twice a day, and made sure they had plenty of playtime and enrichment outside of their crates. I also assisted with the birth of a litter of puppies, helping weigh them, check their temperatures, and feed them a blended diet as they grew. It was one of the most rewarding experiences I’ve ever had. If you’re considering booking with me, feel free to text me — I’d be happy to share photos of my experience. Looking forward to meeting your fur baby! 🐾 I’m currently on summer break from college which gives me complete flexibility to schedule any days needed I’m available Sun-Sat so feel free to reach out. In my home, your pet will be treated like family. I stick to a consistent feeding schedule, offer walks three times a day, and provide regular potty breaks. If allowed, I also work on basic training using treats. I make sure your pup gets plenty of playtime, cuddles, and affection throughout the day. I usually let dogs roam freely, but at bedtime they’ll sleep in my room so I can keep a close, loving eye on them through the night. 🐾

About: I’ve had dogs since I was a kid, but I’ve been actively caring for my pup since I was 17. From going on walks to playing in the living room or just cuddling and watching TV, I can assure you I’m definitely someone who will care for your pet with their best interest at heart! I’m currently a physical therapy student out on winter break, so I have a lot of time on my hands! I do like to have my weekends free to spend time with my own pets, however. I have a fenced in area of my yard that your dog would be able to use the bathroom in, however, I can also take your dogs on walks if they prefer it! I have two sweet dogs, though one is a little older so I would most likely keep them separate. I also have one younger dog that is very high energy and would love a play mate!

About: Hi my name is Mason! I’ve spent most of my life caring for all kinds of animals. From domestic dogs and cats to exotic zoo animals, I’ve worked with them all and love them all! I am patient and understanding with animals, acknowledging that time away from their owner can be stressful for them. I want to be sure each animal in my care feels loved and taken care of. I have petsat for years, starting at a young age for neighbors and friends with various dogs, cats, and even reptiles. Moving into paid animal care positions with zoos and shelters, I have continued my passion for animal care. I want to help your animal feel just like home even when you can’t be there! I work at an emergency vet clinic, working only three days a week. I am openly available on those off days to care for your pets and give them my undivided attention! My own pets are considered happy, healthy, and SPOILED! I’d love to give that same care to your babies. I believe each pet deserves endless love and cuddles, and I want to do that in your absence.
About: I love fur babies! I have had pets all of my life and from cats and dogs to even dwarf frogs. Big, tall, short, and small- I will love them all! I understand the stress of leaving town and worrying about your fur babies! I am more than happy to send cute photos for you to archive while you are away to let you know your baby is happy, healthy, and safe! I have an extremely open schedule. I would love to make pet sitting my full time job! Regular clients are welcome! Give me all of the dates you think you might need me and I will clear my calendar! I often take my pup out with me! I feel brain stimulation of any kind keeps them happy and healthy! Walks are important! Enrichment time along with gentle training: treats to sit or lay down.
About: Hey there! I’m Emily — I offer reliable, loving care for both dogs and cats, and I come straight to you. Whether it’s walks, drop-ins, playtime, feedings, litter box scooping, or even baths, I’ve got it covered. I don’t do boarding or keep pets at my place, but I’m happy to help however I can in your home. I’ve got years of hands-on experience and also run a rescue, so I’m used to handling all kinds of animals, personalities, and needs. I treat every pet like family and always aim to make things easy, safe, and stress-free — for you and your animals. Let me know what you need! Pet care is nonstop for me — it’s what I do every single day. My routine revolves around walks, drop-ins, baths, enrichment time, and everything in between. I’m used to being on the move and keeping up with each pet’s schedule. This isn’t just a side gig — it’s a big part of my life, and I’m fully committed to giving every pet the time and attention they deserve. I provide care in my clients’ homes where pets are most comfortable and relaxed. I stick to their usual routine as much as possible — whether that means feeding, walks, playtime, or giving medication. I’m big on building trust with each animal and making sure they feel safe while their person is away. I always leave things clean, double-check food and water, and send updates so you know your pet is in good hands.
About: Hi! I’m Lily 🤍 I’ve always been a huge animal lover, and caring for pets genuinely makes me happy. I have a dog of my own, so I understand how important it is to find someone you can fully trust with your pet. I’m very patient, attentive, and in tune with animals’ needs—whether your pet loves to play, go on walks, or just wants to feel safe and cuddled, I’ll match their energy and make sure they feel comfortable and cared for the entire time. I treat every pet like they’re my own, and I’m big on making sure they feel loved, not just “watched.” I know being away from your pet can be stressful, so I’ll always keep you updated with messages and photos so you can relax knowing they’re in good hands. I’m reliable, easy to communicate with, and truly care about giving your pet a safe, happy experience. I’d love to meet you and your pet! 🐶🐾 Pet care fits very naturally into my daily routine because I already structure my day around consistency and responsibility. I make time for walks, feeding, playtime, and check-ins, and I’m able to adjust my schedule to meet each pet’s specific needs. Your pet’s safety and comfort are always my top priorities. Whether I’m caring for your pet in your home or stopping by for visits, I make sure they’re in a calm, secure, and loving environment at all times. In your home, I respect your space and stick closely to your pet’s usual routine so they feel as comfortable as possible. I pay close attention to details like feeding instructions, walk routines, and any specific needs your pet may have. I’m also very mindful about keeping doors secured, avoiding unsafe situations, and making sure your pet is always supervised and safe. I take time to understand each pet’s personality whether they’re energetic, shy, or need a little extra patience so I can care for them in a way that makes them feel relaxed and happy. I also provide regular updates and photos so you always know how your pet is doing. You can trust that your pet will be treated with genuine care, attention, and love every step of the way.
About: With over 16 years of experience in animal care, I bring a strong background in both small and large animals, including horses, livestock, and dogs. I’ve worked in veterinary clinics and dog boarding facilities, which gave me hands-on experience with animals of all temperaments and needs. While I value the structure of those settings, I believe in-home care is the most comfortable and stress-free option for most pets. I currently care for two dogs and two horses of my own, and I approach every client’s animal with the same level of respect, patience, and attentiveness I give my own. House Sitting Availability: I’m available for overnight care only, providing feeding, walks, and supervision during the night hours. Drop-In Visits Availability: I can provide up to two drop-in visits per day, including feeding, potty breaks, and basic care. In home boarding : I live in an apartment with a fenced deck, have two friendly dogs, and kids aged 3 and 8. I provide plenty of walks, playtime, and attention. I never board more than one family at a time, so your pup gets all the care and attention they need while you’re away. I prioritize safety and trust above all else when caring for pets in your home. Creating a calm, secure environment is essential to help your pets feel comfortable and relaxed while you’re away. I treat your home and pets with the same respect and care I would expect for my own!

“Dogs were very clean and happy when they returned home. Rachel was very quick to respond to any questions and sent multiple pictures of our pups during their stay, and even accommodated some last minute change in plans for us. Will book again!!”

“Brittany is super awesome! Everytime I've brought my dog to her, he's exhausted for days afterwards, which is amazing since he's such a ball of energy. A tired dog is a happy dog, and from what I can tell, my dog is very happy at Brittany's place! I highly recommend giving Brittany a try! 😄”

She was very responsive and sent the best pictures and videos of my babies. I highly recommend her and I will definitely book with Libby again in the future.”
