“Robin was great with our animals and even administered medicine the rest of the week to our German shepherd after an impromptu vet visit. She also brought in mail and packages in our absence and left the house clean. Would definitely entrust her with our animals’ care in the future.”
“Stephanie did a great job with Bella! Bella was recently spayed and needed extra care. Stephanie was very responsive, she sent texts and videos to keep me updated. 10/10 recommend!”
“Ashlyn took wonderful care of our golden while we were away for a long weekend, and was great about sending us updates about how she was doing. We will definitely call Ashlyn again next time we need a sitter for our dog!”
“This girl is a rockstar! We booked in home sitting with Jaiydah for over a week, and she took such great care of our two dogs. I received multiple updates each day while we were away. She played with them and loved on them and I am sure our dogs were disappointed when we walked through the door instead of Jaiydah. 100% will book again. The absolute best person for the job 🥰”
“Margaret was amazing with our two bernadoddles. She was communicative and sent tons of pictures . She made sure to get walks in early during a summer heatwave and took amazing care of the pups. Additionally, she stayed at the house and everything was left in clean condition when we came back. We will be using Margaret again!”
“Sarah was fantastic! She stayed with our little pom for an extended period while we were out of the country. Sarah is very responsive to communications and our doggie just loved her. It is rare to find someone who is trustworthy and dependable, but Sarah is just that. We loved her bubbly personality and we are lucky to have found her. Thank you Sarah!!! We were able to enjoy our trip without worries over our pet or home.”
“Meg sent lots of photos and kept us informed. Unfortunately, she had to deal with a maintenance issue in our home while we were out of the country and we appreciate her flexibility and patience during this time!”
“Saraelizabeth was so amazing! She was able to help us out short notice, our dog Indy LOVED her! Super responsive and gave us great updates. She left our place incredibly clean and tidy, way more she needed to! Would definitely have her dog sit for us again.”
About: I treat every pet like they’re my own! I’m reliable, gentle, and pay close attention to your pet’s needs. I have experience with both energetic puppies and senior dogs who need a little extra care and patience. Whether it’s giving meds, keeping a consistent routine, or just offering lots of snuggles, I’m here to make your pet feel safe and loved while you’re away!! I'm a junior in college with a very flexible schedule, and I’m home often and have plenty of free time during breaks. I love being active and outdoors, so walks and playtime are a fun part of my day. I’m also happy to relax with pets who just need company and cuddles! Whether I’m caring for pets in my home or at a client’s, I always believe that consistency is key and aim to follow their routine closely so their environment is calm and comfortable. I follow all feeding, walking, and medication instructions exactly as provided, and I make sure they get plenty of love, playtime, and attention. I’m respectful of clients’ homes, and always clean up after myself and the pets.
“Katherine was amazing! We are so grateful she was able to take care of Vinny. He loved her! She followed the instructions we left her and was constantly sending us updates and photos. She was so personable and sweet as well. I highly recommend Katherine for your dog sitting needs! I hope to be able to work with her again.”
“Sarah took such great care of my pup for a week while I was away! She was very communicative and made sure he was having the best time. Will definitely have her watch him next time I need someone!!”
“Morgan did a great job taking care of our elderly dogs! It was a bit of a last minute trip so we were grateful she was available for a holiday weekend. When we got home the pups were happy and the house looked as if no one had been here. Highly recommend!”
About: Loving, Reliable House & Pet Care — Special Needs & Senior Experience Hi! I’m Vanessa — a full-time pet owner and experienced caregiver. I’ve personally raised and cared for my own 3 dogs and 2 cats, all of whom have very different personalities, medical needs, and routines. From puppy training to senior care, special diets, medication schedules, and anxiety triggers — I’ve handled it all with patience and love. When I house sit, I bring that same level of care directly into your home. Your pets stay in their own safe, familiar environment while I handle everything: feeding, potty breaks, walks, playtime, medication, and cuddles. High-energy dogs will get plenty of outdoor time and exercise; low-energy pets can relax and hang out by my side for quiet comfort. Since I don’t work outside the home, I’m present most of the day to give your pets plenty of attention. I do step out for a few hours in the evening to go to the gym, but I always return to make sure everyone is settled in for the night. You’ll get regular updates, photos, and open communication so you can relax while you’re away knowing your pets — and your home — are in great hands. What sets me apart? Your pet will never be left alone for long hours — I’m home full-time, so their care isn’t squeezed in between a busy schedule. Whether it’s maintaining special routines, managing medical needs, or simply providing a calm, loving environment, I tailor my care to meet each pet’s unique personality and needs. My clients know that when their pets stay with me, they’re getting the same level of love and attention I give my own fur family. Since I don’t work outside the home, I’m able to offer constant supervision, regular potty breaks, and consistent routines to help your pet feel secure and loved while you’re away. I’m happy to provide frequent updates and photos for your peace of mind. When I care for your pets, my top priority is keeping them safe, comfortable, and happy in their own home environment. I maintain their usual routines, supervise them closely, and monitor for any changes in behavior, appetite, or health. I’m experienced with special needs, senior pets, medication administration, and pets who may require a little extra patience or care. While house sitting, your pets aren’t left alone for long hours. I’m home during the day to provide frequent potty breaks, meals, playtime, and companionship. In the evenings, I’m briefly away for a workout, but I return home at night to ensure your pets feel calm and secure before bedtime. Your home is treated with the same level of respect and responsibility — mail, plants, light cleaning, and security are all handled while you’re away. You can leave knowing both your pets and your home are in capable, trusted hands.
“Danielle was great with my dog Tucker! She often sent picture updates which I really appreciated, and she was very reliable. I would recommend her to anyone looking for an overnight sitter.”

Vanessa V.
“I can’t say enough about Vanessa—she’s truly one of the most caring and responsible pet owners I know. She personally has three dogs and two cats, all of whom are incredibly well cared for and deeply loved. It’s clear how much her pets mean to her, and the time, effort, and affection she puts into their care is unmatched. What sets her apart even more is the way she handles my own pets, especially since they have special needs. She takes the time to learn their routines, administer their medications exactly as needed, and ensures they feel safe and comfortable. I have two dogs and one cat, and I trust her completely to care for them just like I would. Anyone would be lucky to have her care for their animals—she’s not just reliable, she’s exceptional.”

Vestavia Hills pet parents share their Rover experiences
Mollie was a GREAT caretaker for our 140 lb. Scout and 14-year-old Sierra. She has a great calm presence and we felt very confident leaving our two dogs with her for 7 days. Our big dog never made her nervous and Sierra came out of her shell with Mollie. Why didn't we ever do this before. Mollie took good care of them and all their little quirks, as well as gave them medicine for their old age issues. I'm sure she gave them lots of TLC, too, if the pictures she sent us were any evidence. Thanks, Mollie, for all you did for them, as well as for us, to take good care of them!
Hannah did a great job with our senior dogs. My wife and I were away for 5 nights and received great communications and cute photos. One of the nights was the Fourth of July so Hannah had to give extra TLC during inevitable fireworks. She left the house in great shape, too. We could barely tell anyone had even been here! Would hire again for sure!
Elle was great looking after Bane! She took him for a few runs and played with him in the back yard and made sure he got his medicine in his food. She was very courteous and washed the sheets on the bed at the end of her stay as well. Would definitely book again!
Absolutely amazing. We couldn’t have asked for a better experience. Our dog was smitten with her from the start. She gave us frequent updates and took wonderful care of details better than we do ourselves (ha!). There’s nothing better than having peace of mind that while we are on vacation, our boy was having adventures of his own and feeling loved back home. I couldn’t recommend her more.
Linley was great! One of my dogs can be a bit uneasy around new people. When we got back from our trip I could tell all 3 were happy and well cared for! We will definitely use Linley again and would recommend her over and over to anyone looking to have their fur babies cared for while they are away!
David was great! He had his work cut out for him with our animals and he was so patient and really tried to provide the best for the animals. He was very responsive and communicated very well. He made us feel very comfortable while we were away which made our vacation more enjoyable. We will continue to use David for as long as he will have us!
