Highly-rated overnight sitters - Fairhope
“I've never left my dog with any one I didn't know before, especially since she gets anxious sometimes around new dogs. But after meeting Melissa leaving my dog was like leaving her with a trusted family member or a close friend. She loved her and the whole family and got along great with the other dogs too. Melissa was in constant communication and was sending tons of pics and videos the whole time which made us laugh and put us at ease that she was doing just fine. My Lily Bear came home tired from playing but also relaxed and not anxious at all. I will definitely be using her again in the future when needed. Thank you Melissa for caring for Lily and putting up with my obsessive, over protective dog parenting concerns lol! You are the Best! :-)”
“My senior pup just got home from a wonderful weekend with Patti! He had the best care and we received regular updates and photos. My dog has vision issues among other senior ailments and needs medication at meals. Patti was so patient and helped him navigate the new space, always making sure he was safe. We felt so comfortable with Igor in Patti’s care and look forward to him visiting her again!”
“Cassie did amazing with my pup!! She took care of my girl for three days and nights, and I couldn't have asked for a better experience. My pup is on a little bit of a special diet and Cassie made sure to accommodate perfectly.

We will definitely be booking Cassie for any future dog sitting needs!”

Ziggy liked him right away and had a blast playing with him in the fenced in backyard. George made sure to spend a lot of time with Ziggy and sent us pictures and updates. 100% would recommend George!”

To my surprise, Yukon adapted so well in new environment. He felt comfortable very quickly, and had great time with Paula,Bill and their two dogs Marty &Ginger. iIt was clear he was well cared for and given lots of attention. It means so much to us to find a loving, patient, and responsible family to take care of our fur baby. We truly appreciate the warm and safe environment they provide. We definitely will come back again! Highly recommend!”

About: I have had kitties most of my life. I love kitties! Right now I have 2 cats of my own and I foster others. It took 3.5 years of trying before I could even pet one of my foster kitties. Last summer I took in a feral mom cat and 3 of her kittens. I worked and worked with the kittens to be able to touch them. One loves to be petted and the other 2 kittens will only let me pet them while they are eating a churu treat, lol. I bought a generation 7 wheel for the kittens. The one male kitten gets the wheel going so fast! He loves it! They're all so fun and spunky :)

About: I have been a lab parent for 30 years and have trained, walked and had many many dog sleepovers. I love dogs and would love the opportunity to care for yours!

About: I’ve owned dogs my entire life and have hands-on experience caring for a wide range of personalities, energy levels, and needs. I’ve self-trained my own dogs and I’m comfortable reinforcing basic obedience commands like sit, stay, leave it, and leash manners (especially helpful for puppies and energetic dogs). I also have experience caring for a dog with seizures who requires medication, so I’m confident with administering meds and supporting pets with special routines or extra care needs. In addition to my own pets, I’ve regularly helped neighbors and friends with pet sitting and daily care. I’m attentive, calm, and safety-focused, and I treat every pet like they’re my own. I also groom and bathe my own dogs, and while full grooming isn’t typically part of my services, I’m absolutely willing to help if an urgent situation arises. I’m self-employed and work from home, so I have a very flexible schedule and can accommodate a wide range of needs. I’m able to provide frequent potty breaks and check-ins, including hourly relief when needed, and I can do multiple drop-ins throughout the day. Because I’m home often, I’m also able to give pets consistent attention, supervision, and routine support. Care looks a little different depending on whether I’m in your home or mine, but my top priorities are always safety, routine, and clear communication. I expect to communicate frequently during your pet's visit with me. In my home: For daycare or boarding, I require that dogs are crate trained, since dogs will be crated overnight and anytime I’m not home. I also require up-to-date vaccine records to keep everyone safe. I have two dogs of my own, so I carefully monitor introductions and compatibility. We do have a yard, but it is not fenced, so all outdoor time is supervised and on-leash. In your home: During our meet & greet, we’ll go over your pet’s routine in detail (feeding, potty breaks, walks, medication, etc.). I ask that any important care instructions are also listed in your pet’s Rover profile in writing, so everything is clear and consistent. I’m happy to follow your household routines as close as possible during the visit.

About: I have had pets my entire life. I have a boxer and a purple currently. I have watched my friends dogs while they are out of town. I have been a teacher for 20 years and I love to stay active, walking , hiking and aerobic sports. I know how hard it is to leave your pets and I would only leave my dogs with someone I truly trusted and that would give them the same love and affection as ibdo every day. I realize how difficult it is to trust someone with your "babies" and that is why I know I am a perfect person for the job. I know that dogs get so excited just to have someone pet them, let alone go on walks when their owners are away. I am a teacher and have all summer off. My own children are grown and independent, so I am able to work at all hours of the day. Having my own dogs, I know how important it is for them to be in their own environment where they are more comfortable and relaxed. Dogs know when there owners are away,so to be in their happy place is very important.
“Excellent service. Zach and his daughter were great with my dog Rex! Great setup with a tall fence and Rex loved playing with their dogs.This was a same day booking and they were able to accommodate us last minute and also the following day. I had only left my dog one day at a kennel his whole life so was nervous and within minutes knew I had made the correct choice with Zach and his home!”
About: Hi! I’m Corey — a pet-loving guy who truly understands how deeply animals become family. I’ve spent the last 15 years caring for dogs, including two beloved seniors who recently passed in 2021 and 2025. Betty, an English Bulldog who was “thicker than a bowl of oatmeal,” and Sadie, my blue-tick coonhound/beagle mix who was a true treat connoisseur with a heart of gold. Losing them has been incredibly hard… but also a powerful reminder of just how special the bond with a pet really is. Caring for other people’s pets has become a form of healing and therapy for me. I miss the snoring, the wagging tails, the playtime, and the pure happiness a dog brings into a home. Being around animals fills me with joy, and I pour that love right back into the pups I watch. I have hands-on experience with: • Senior dog care (medications, patience, mobility support, and gentle comfort) • High-energy dogs who need walks and structured play • Bulldogs, hounds, and every personality in between • Smaller breeds like Chihuahuas and Dachshunds Your dog isn’t just a “dog” to me — they’re family, someone’s whole heart. And while you’re away, I’ll treat them with the same gentleness, humor, consistency, and affection that I gave to Betty and Sadie. I work from home and can provide exceptional care! Your dog is my main concern during the day and evening and will be spoiled and loved! I will treat your pet as my own and follow all instructions provided to me about your dog(s) routine and schedule. I truly care and want to make your experience easy and stress free.
“Holly was able to accommodate my very last minute booking request and I am so thankful! She took Lucy for a few walks throughout the day and I could tell that Lucy was well taken care of. Thank you again, I really appreciate it!!”
“Sarah was incredibly thorough and made sure that my dog felt comfortable in a new space! Thank you so much for your time and giving Lou Lou an incredibly fun experience.”
About: Your pet is treated as my own and a family member. Your fur baby is not crated unless you request that and provide the crate. Your pet gets to go outside and run and play several times a day. I go out and encourage playing and running for exercise. When the weather permits, we walk through the field and explore along the canal. If your pet is older and doesn't want to play or explore, that's ok. I have plenty of shaded areas for them to just lounge and take a snooze while I sit with them and read. I would love to share your fur babies with you. Must provide proof of all shot records (including Kennel Cough vaccine). I insist on a meet and greet to make sure that your fur baby is going to be a good match with our family. I do not board pit bulls (or pit mixes), German Shepherds, Rottweilers it any aggressive dogs for my safety as well as my pup. I am retired. I never leave your pups alone. If I need to run to the store, my husband is here with the pups. When the pups are outside, I'm outside work them. I have a large fenced in back yard and a standard poodle that would love to play with your pup/pups and keep them company. She loves having new playmates.

About: It seems as if I've always had a cat or dog or both since I was in grade school. At this time I have many kitties and one dog. Some of my kitties are foster kitties. Some I can pet and others I enjoy from a distance. I have 1 dog named Frannie. She is possibly a Rottweiler shepherd mix. In the past I grew up with a standard poodle. I have had a shepherd mix, another Rottweiler mix and a pit mix. I have seen all my dogs and cats thru to the rainbow bridge. I have fostered a litter of labrador puppies. That was fun! I currently help my mom with her pug mix named Chloe. I am currently working part time at a pre-school. I have Mondays, weekends, holidays and the summers off. I work until noon Tuesday, Wednesday, Thursday and Fridays until 3pm I would need to make sure your pets are cared for before I go to work @7:15am. I have a neighbor who helps me let my dog out while I'm at work, so I would be free after work to check on your animal(s). I would then need to come back to my house and take care of my animals and then go back to check on yours. I could do that as often as needed and then longer thru the night. I anticipate every situation to be different so depending on the need. I would be able to keep kitties in my spare bedroom. I have a large screen door to put in front of the bedroom door to keep them separate from my animals if needed. I am flexible to what the needs may be
About: I have been sitting for 4 years now including a range of animals from dogs and cats to horses goats and chickens! I love all animals and care like them as my own! I am currently working part time so I have lots of time to play with your animal! I love to walk so exercise can be a part of that!

“Nicole did an awesome job. Sent photos and updates. I had no worries knowing she was taking care of Alfie. And she lives right around the corner from me. I'm already set on having her watch him again when I go out of town. Definitely 10/10”
About: I have taken care of both dogs and cats for family, neighbors, and friends for the last 6-7 years. I have more experience with dogs— ranging from all sizes and ages, however I love cats and never say no to a feline friend as well! Expected care for the animals from me has included daily walks, feeding per directed schedule, hanging out with them, medication administration as needed, and cleaning up after them after an occasional “oopsie”. Most of my experience has been staying in client houses, so I am comfortable with that, however I am also more than confident with driving back and forth for potty breaks throughout the day. I just completed grad school and picked up a part time job with chipotle a couple days a week. My schedule for pet care is more client-based than anything and I will always work my schedule around taking care of the animals needs first. On days I am working at chipotle, my shifts will be no more than 8 hours long. I prefer keeping the clients pets in their homes for their safety and comfort. I will always put them on leashes unless they are fenced in and I will go outside with them initially to keep an eye on them and to feel out the surroundings myself.

Currently I am working full time but I have free evenings and my weekends are free along with a few designated weekdays. I can board pups overnight on certain days, or walk your pets in the evening if you’re out late. I have a husky mix and 2 Shepherds who can keep your pups company while they stay with me, along with daily walks that we take them on. We enjoy hiking as well, therefore with permission can take your pup out!
About: My family and I have always had a dog while I was growing up, I’m a huge dog fan and absolutely love spending time with them! As a teacher, I am off in the summer time, so what better way to make some extra money by doing what I love most? (Being with dogs!) I made sure every dog my family and I owned got exercise daily, as well as lots of love, cuddles and treats! I would be so happy to continue these activities with other dogs!
About: I love all animals, right now I only take care of my own two guinea pigs but I wish I had a dog or cat to take care of! I used to babysit two cats and one of them had diabetes so I know how to do that if your pets need at home shots! I am always off work Wednesdays but there are a few days I work every other week and can take care of of your pets mostly in the morning on those days but Wednesdays is all day if needed! I will play with them, I will make sure they get the right amount of exercise, I will make sure they are fed when needed and give them extra cuddles too!

Please contact me if you are needing help with your pet(s) during work days or while on vacation. I also have experience in the health care field (for humans) which is helpful in taking care of pets with special needs. I am available most of the time. I’m semi retired and have occasional commitments but will always put your pet as a priority if they are under my care. Am happy to care for your pet! I prefer to have pets crate trained to stay in my home overnight; owner would need to provide the crate. This is just for their safety! I will come to your home to walk, play and feed your pets as desired!

“I've never left my dog with any one I didn't know before, especially since she gets anxious sometimes around new dogs. But after meeting Melissa leaving my dog was like leaving her with a trusted family member or a close friend. She loved her and the whole family and got along great with the other dogs too. Melissa was in constant communication and was sending tons of pics and videos the whole time which made us laugh and put us at ease that she was doing just fine. My Lily Bear came home tired from playing but also relaxed and not anxious at all. I will definitely be using her again in the future when needed. Thank you Melissa for caring for Lily and putting up with my obsessive, over protective dog parenting concerns lol! You are the Best! :-)”
“My senior pup just got home from a wonderful weekend with Patti! He had the best care and we received regular updates and photos. My dog has vision issues among other senior ailments and needs medication at meals. Patti was so patient and helped him navigate the new space, always making sure he was safe. We felt so comfortable with Igor in Patti’s care and look forward to him visiting her again!”
“Cassie did amazing with my pup!! She took care of my girl for three days and nights, and I couldn't have asked for a better experience. My pup is on a little bit of a special diet and Cassie made sure to accommodate perfectly. She updated me regularly with photos and kept me in the loop the whole time about potty breaks and such, which I really appreciated. We will definitely be booking Cassie for any future dog sitting needs!”
“Aaliyah watched our 9 month old golden retriever while we were gone for a week. This was the first time leaving our dog and she took such good care of him! Charlie absolutely loved her (& she loved him) and her other dogs. We got lots of photos, videos, and status updates on how Charlie was everyday. We will definitely be rebooking Aaliyah the next time we go out of town!!”

About: I’ve had pets all my life! I’ve had my own pet sitting business I’m very passionate about pet care. Your pet will be safe here! Between me and my husband we’re almost always home. We do have classes for a few hours during the week. We have pets of our own so we already have a very well set schedule when it comes to them. We can gladly work with any schedule you may already have. I will care for your fur babies like they are my own. I love my pets like my kids they’ll be well cared for here!
“Alicia is wonderful with our dog. He loves going there. I am totally comfortable with him being there. Alicia was careful to make sure he was safe and felt good during the fireworks nearby. She is quick to reply and communicates with me daily. We definitely will continue to use her for dog sitting.”
“Savanna kept my puppy for a week while I was on vacation. She did a wonderful job keeping me posted with pictures. She was also flexible and easy to work with. I would highly recommend her.”
“Some of the best dog sitters around! I truly don’t think you’ll find anyone more invested in keeping your doggy safe, cared for and loved. You MUST book with Vicki!”
“George was so good with our dog Ziggy. Our dog is a very anxious dog, so we worried how it would go- we had no worries with George taking care of him! Ziggy liked him right away and had a blast playing with him in the fenced in backyard. George made sure to spend a lot of time with Ziggy and sent us pictures and updates. 100% would recommend George!”
“I brought our dog Yukon for daycare to Paula & Bill today, and I were a little worried at the beginning since my dog has strong separation anxiety. To my surprise, Yukon adapted so well in new environment. He felt comfortable very quickly, and had great time with Paula,Bill and their two dogs Marty &Ginger. iIt was clear he was well cared for and given lots of attention. It means so much to us to find a loving, patient, and responsible family to take care of our fur baby. We truly appreciate the warm and safe environment they provide. We definitely will come back again! Highly recommend!”
“We had to make last minute reservation and Tricia was so flexible. We immediately felt comfortable with her taking of our fur babies. She sent us updates and was always quick to respond. She has a great set up in her house for the dogs to play and sleep in. Her backyard is huge which is great for outdoor playtime. Highly recommend her!”
About: I come from an animal-loving family and have either owned or looked after any personality a dog could possibly have! Big ones, small ones, needy ones, naughty ones, nervous ones, old ones, lazy ones, you name it! I pride myself on being “that person” that dogs naturally gravitate towards (it runs in the family). My family recently lost the last of our 3 dogs (our 15 year old Puggle), so I am equipped for even the old guys & gals too! Your dog will not just be cared for, they will be spoiled and loved on as my own. I know how hard it is to trust a stranger with your baby, and Ive got you! I'll do anything your dog (or YOU) requires to be more comfortable. Even if you want to FaceTime your dog while you’re away...I won’t judge :). I know boarding places can be scary and stressful for a lot of dogs, and my goal is to provide a reliable, safe, peaceful, fun, and loving environment while you are away. PLEASE READ :) Due to the fact that I have 2 small children, I cannot under any circumstances accept: -Dogs that have never been around children -Dogs that have any specific aggression (towards food, toys, other dogs, etc.) -Pit Bulls/Rottweilers. I realize this is controversial and maybe even unfair, and If I didn’t have small children this would not be an issue, but my kids come first and I have to be selective to protect them. Being that we are caring for dogs we have never met, I cannot take the risk for breeds that could possibly do extensively harmful damage to them in a worst case scenario situation. Again, I love all dogs/breeds and realize these breeds are normally the sweetest dogs, I am just mitigating any and all risk as a protective Mama. I am currently a stay-at-home Mom! I am home every day with the occasional runs to drop my son off at preschool, or attend my own appointments that come up/occasional errands. Although I am home most of the day, I cannot accept dogs that have separation anxiety, as I do have weekly errands/school drop offs/grocery pickups etc. that take me away from the home for a small amount of time. I live in a very peaceful and quiet neighborhood. I have a partially fenced in yard, but I would not be taking any dogs out without a leash. My back yard is hidden away from the main street and is great for taking dogs out. Rest assured they will have lots of potty breaks and sniffing outside breaks. We are pretty chill here! Once the weather warms up, walks are definitely in the daily schedule if wanted/needed... or just some sunbathing outside for the dogs who love a nap in the sunshine.
“Tiffany was a Godsend- since we had an unexpected trip and our daughter was unable to watch Bailey. My dog was so excited to be there and enjoyed her dogs and children as well. I recommend her if you need someone to watch your dog”
