About: I have owned pets my entire life and have had the privilege of walking beside them through their entire time on this earth. Throughout my years, I have raised several cats from birth to adulthood, puppy trained, and have learned how to give medication to assist in the aging process. I am on summer break from my doctoral program so I have a lot of flexibility. I will be teaching on class this summer but it is just 2hours a day. I am very detail oriented. So when I am in a clients home I often spend some time checking in on their fur children to make sure they are set on behavior/emotional needs as well as their basics. I want to make sure that they are not stressed, getting the proper attention and that I am being attentive to catch potential problems as early as possible. I make sure to leave the place in better shape than I found it. My own cat is spoiled with enrichment and love. I strive to make sure your pets see me as an auntie rather than a random soul who checks in.
“Mary demonstrated absolute resilience in providing care for Nyla, a pet requiring SIGNIFICANT attention, successfully navigating challenges through extremely innovative approaches. We absolutely appreciate Mary never giving up and insisting on making it work! Thank you so much, Mary!”

About: I have had cats my entire life and currently have a dog and a cat. Experience caring for kitties with various medical needs, including eye drops, pills, wipes, diets and subcutaneous fluid administration. Experience volunteering in four different animal shelters with both dogs and cats, doing basic animal care as well as specializing in dog enrichment activities. I currently work full-time which is why my services are limited to dog walking and drop ins. I am able to drop in during my lunch break so long as your home is within Tuscaloosa or Northport and can make earlier morning and early to late evenings work. I am flexible on weekends. I will follow your instructions exactly and ask any necessary clarifying questions as soon as they come to me. I am happy to love on any pets who desire it but will always be conscious that I am a stranger to them. I'm very aware of animal body language signs and always try to respect pets the way I'd want mine to be treated.

“She took amazing care of my dog Maverick during drop-in visits. Showed up right on time, sent photos and detailed updates every visit, and you could tell Maverick warmed up to her quickly. It’s such a relief knowing he’s in good hands while we’re away. Will definitely be booking again!”

“Sarah was great with Cody and kept me updated throughout the visit with photos and messages. He looked happy, comfortable, and well cared for. I really appreciated her communication and would definitely book with her again. 🐾😊”

About: I have taken care of pets for almost all my life as my family has had multiple pets. I am responsible and Red Cross certified in caretaking. I take two classes during the week but everything else is virtual. I have all the time in the world to give your pet and am also very proficient at training. I will follow all instructions given and am very responsible. I prefer to keep all living areas clean and will ensure the safety of all pets under my care.
“This is the best rover you can ever find! She is caring, compassionate, and goes above and beyond. Will continue to use her in the future. Cares deeply for the animals and provides care based on individual pet needs.”

“April was great to work with. She reassured us that our cat would be well taken care of while we were out of town, and she sent photos and videos during each visit, which gave us a lot of peace of mind. We would absolutely trust her to pet sit again anytime.”

“Absolutely AMAZING sitter—wonderful, loving care with detailed reports and great pictures. Our cat liked her immediately and he looked very happy in the pictures and videos. It was a huge comfort while we were away from him to know he was in good hands. Highly recommend!!!”

“Keslie was so easy to work with and wonderful with our dog! We hired her to drop-in/walk/play with our dog four times when we were out of town and she was prompt, spent extra time, and sent the best pictures. I would love to continue using her!”

“Jake took such great care of my pets! He was able to handle my cat, senior dog and our puppies, was such a lifesaver while I was out of town. The pictures he took are so cute too, would definitely recommend Jake watching your pets, he treated them with a lot of care.”

“Megan went above and beyond for our family and we felt totally safe and relaxed while we were gone! I would highly recommend Megan to anyone looking for a truly caring, thoughtful, intuitive sitter!”


About: I’ve taken care of dogs of all different sizes and personalities throughout my life, especially the last 6 years. Back home I have three dogs, including 2 Labrador retrievers and a chihuahua mix rescue. I used to dog sit for my neighbors every few months, typically for a week at a time. Now that I am at college at UA, I miss constantly being around dogs and I hope to fill that missing piece through Rover! I am great about exercising, feeding on time, and potty breaks. If you have any more questions feel free to ask! I’m currently working part-time, but will have plenty of time to check in on your pups :) My schedule is usually completely free during the day up until 4pm. I also get breaks at work and can stop in to let your furbaby out! I currently live in a spacious apartment with two of my best friends that also love dogs. We have a fenced-in dog park right next to our unit! It takes less than a minute walk from my door to the park.

“Our cats loved Taylor immediately and it was a huge relief to have someone look after them. She was professional and communicative, it was a relief to know the kitties were in good hands!”


About: With 13 years of dog care experience and 5 years on Rover, I know a thing or two about keeping dogs happy. Working remotely gives me the flexibility to be there for your fur baby all week long. If you've got specific questions or special requests, feel free to reach out. During the weekdays, I can offer plenty of attention, play sessions, and walks to keep your pet active and engaged. I love having dogs around to go on a walk during my breaks! I’ve built a strong reputation over the years for being reliable and responsible. You can count on me to create a safe environment and send a lot of photos and be fast at communicating if you want to check in.
Wood Ridge pet parents share their Rover experiences
This was the first time booking with Samantha and she was great. She arrived on time for the initial meet & great visit and completed the 2 times a day visits at the requested times. The eating and litter box areas were neat & tidy when I returned home. I will definitely book with Samantha again.

With age, my cat Iggy has gotten more obstinate and more anxious whenever I leave home. Zoe did so much to attend to her needs, treat her, and draw her out to play and engage while I was away. When I returned, Iggy seemed as relaxed as I could have hoped. Zoe was so thoughtful about sending videos, photos, and responding to texts. She had treats and cat videos to help entertain Iggy and draw her out on days when she wanted to hide. It was all above and beyond and showed great experience, animal insight, and care. 10/10 will book again!

Isabella is hands down the best pet sitter I’ve had the privilege of hiring. She was very flexible with my last minute needs, her communication is top tier, and If there was ever a problem (my fault) she was good at letting me know. My puppy is a big fan of her per the daily photos I received. She has won me over as a repeat client and I look forward to taking another trip without the stress of worrying about my puppy’s needs. Thank you again, Isabella! (:

Anna was very sweet and patient with our three animals. One dog was a bit hesitant the first day but Anna was incredibly patient and got the dog to love her. She stayed to play with the dogs even if it went over the 30 mins that we paid for. The pictures she sent were adorable and we will definitely use her for our next trip.

Leah did such an amazing job watching out two cats while we were out of town! She was always on time, followed our instructions perfectly, and went above and beyond to make sure our boys were well taken care of! As someone who worries about leaving my pets at home alone, Leah’s daily updates were exactly what I needed for peace of mind. I would 100% recommend her for anyone looking for a great pet sitter!
