“Allison was very easy to work with, our pups really liked her, and she was very communicative while we were away. I felt at ease while on our trip! Thanks, Allison!”
“Alyssa was awesome! Took great care of our pets and the house while we were gone. Super easy to communicate with and sent us updates that made us feel totally at ease. Came home to happy animals and everything in perfect shape. Would definitely book again!”
About: Hello, my name is Alex! Animals have always been an interest of mine (fun fact: my favorite animal is the grizzly bear) and I love caring for them! I've been taking care of my family dogs for the last 5 years and recently adopted my kitty a little over a year ago. Outside of that, I volunteer at my local shelter and have been hired to walk dogs by neighbors as well as dog/ house sit from time to time. I may be new to Rover but I am not new to being dependable and responsible! I am currently a Junior in college and do not work a job during the academic year. My main constraint is classes when school is in session, but other than that I will work diligently to fit into whatever schedule is needed of me! I know how difficult it can be to trust someone else with your pet. This is why I do my absolute best to make sure each fur baby is treated with the same love and care that I would want for my own. My goal is to give them - and you - the absolute best experience possible.
“Brooklynn did such a fantastic job with my pups. She updated me frequently and made me feel at ease knowing my dogs were in good hands. Will absolutely be using her again”
About: I’ve been around dogs my whole life—since I was 5 years old. My mom is a dog groomer, and I worked with her for years, which gave me hands-on experience with dogs of all sizes, temperaments, and needs. I currently have three of my own, ranging from 40 to 190 lbs, so I’m very comfortable handling large breeds and high-energy pups. I’m confident with everything from basic care to reading dog body language and managing senior or anxious dogs with patience and calm energy. I work from home, so I’m home all day and able to give your pet plenty of attention, playtime, and potty breaks. My flexible schedule means I can easily stick to your dog’s routine and be available for walks, feedings, and cuddle time throughout the day. Whether I’m caring for pets in my home or yours, safety and comfort are always my top priorities. I take the time to understand each pet’s routine, personality, and any special needs or quirks. I follow instructions closely, keep a clean and calm environment, and never leave pets unattended in unsafe situations. I also give regular updates so you always know how your pet is doing. My goal is to make sure they feel secure, happy, and at home—wherever they are.
“Jordan was amazing! She was able to watch our two dogs on short notice when we had to leave town. She sent tons of photos and kept us updated on when she was at the house, when the dogs were fed, and what they were up to. Would definitely recommend!”
About: I’ve grown up around dogs my whole life and have always been the go-to person for friends and family when they needed someone dependable to care for their pets. Whether it’s daily walks, feeding schedules, or just spending time keeping pets company, I take pride in making sure they feel safe, happy, and loved. I’m currently doing a summer internship during the weekdays, but my evenings after 5 PM and weekends are completely open. That gives me plenty of time to focus on pet care—whether it’s evening walks, weekend drop-ins, or just spending time with your pet. I enjoy working with animals and always make sure they feel comfortable, safe, and cared for during our time together. When caring for pets in a client’s home, I always follow their normal routine as closely as possible—whether that means feeding schedules, walk times, or favorite toys and sleeping spots. I make sure their environment stays familiar and stress-free. I also clean up after them, keep their water fresh, and send regular updates with pictures so you know they’re in good hands. If I’m caring for pets in my own home, I provide a safe, calm space where they can feel comfortable and loved. I make sure they get plenty of attention, playtime, and rest, and I always keep their safety as a top priority. Every pet is different, so I adjust my care to their specific needs—whether they’re energetic and playful or laid-back and cuddly.
About: I love watching animals more than anything! Always know that your animal is loved and in great hands when I am in charge and responsible for them I am a full time student at The University of Alabama. This is my first year so I am still getting used to everything! I only have 2 classes max a day so have plenty of free time!! I know how to crate animals, as I have a puppy back home that is crate trained. If your yard is not fenced I will at all times keep your dog on a leash!!
About: I have extensive experience taking care of dogs. I have had 2 family dogs and have taken care of them ever since I was 12 years old. I’ve potty trained, walked, fed, and bathed them. I’m reliable, communicative, and committed to making your pet feel safe and happy while you’re away. I’m available on the weekends any time throughout the day. I am busy throughout the weekdays but I can also do evenings on Friday after 5 pm. I care for every dog like they’re my own—whether I’m stopping by your home or taking them out for a walk. I make sure each visit is filled with love, play, and attention to their routine. From potty breaks and water refills to belly rubs and tug-of-war, I tailor my care to fit your pup’s energy and needs. You’ll always get updates, photos, and peace of mind while you’re away!
“Chy was great with my girls, H and M! She took great care of my dogs and my home while I was away. She is an excellent communicator and sent me photos every day I was gone. I will definitely be asking her to house/dog sot for me again the future.”
About: I’ve had my own dog for 8 years and moving away from home for college definitely made me miss him very much! I love looking after other people’s dogs and enjoy getting to know them and their habits and I love spending quality time with them. I don’t have any experience specifically training dogs but I love teaching them fun little tricks and am always excited to take on new challenges I’m currently working part-time and semi-remotely so I am very flexible on timing! I’m open to adapting to people’s needs and am always happy to move things around1 I’d always be happy to meet the pup in advance to learn more about routine, feeding, walk schedule and any medication information that is needed. I’m great at staying with a routine and know that it’s always best not to change this suddenly. I like knowing that the dog is comfortable and I’m always happy to send updates
About: I have a dog and 2 cats if my own so I consider myself experienced in pet care. I have dog sat for many years now for both neighbors and family. I don’t mind cleaning up after pets and I can give medicine to unwilling pets. I don’t currently have a job so I am free whenever! I am simply looking to make some money to help with college in the fall. I have a fenced backyard and my pets are friendly. I can easily crate your pet if that’s what they’re used to. I can also come to your house to take them out and give them plenty of love.
About: I have been an avid pet lover, owner, and caregiver my entire life! Throughout my teenage years I worked, and rode, for many top equestrian facilities in Georgia providing weekend barn care such as stall cleaning, feeding, and turnout. I have provided farm/pet sitting for numerous clients, friends, and families over the years, being solely responsible for up to 30 horses, as well as their pets, at one time. Most recently, I have 5 years of experience working in the veterinary industry. I currently have 2 dogs! A 4 year old Golden Retriever and a 7 year old Shepsky who both are my best friends! I currently do work full-time in Birmingham, however I am off every Friday and available on weekends as well! Mondays-Fridays I can provide afternoon and evening pet care services as well. At home, we have a fully fenced in yard and both of our dogs are friendly and love to play! I can also crate your pets if need be, and am comfortable administering oral/topical medications.
About: Ive always lived with either dogs, cats, fish, or reptiles. Animals have always been apart of my life and they will continue to be so. I work full time during the week but I make my own schedule so I am flexible. I am primarily available for Friday- Sunday pet care. I own a german shepherd Harley who is 5 and has to have topical drops and medicine given orally daily. So I am decently experienced in giving medication and will treat you pet as my own while taking care of them.
“Cadie was very sweet and my pups loved her! She was able to stay at my home day and night. I have a old pup in diapers. I am very happy she was there for them in all of there needs! She is the best!”
About: I have taken care of and loved animals since early childhood, getting my first dog at 6 years old. My father goes on work trips several times a month and I am able to balance taking care of my dog with my college and work schedule. I take Abby, my current labrador, to the park and lake often, prioritizing her health and love for the outdoors. I am a college student, but have plenty of time to take care of your pets. I am free in the evenings on weekdays and on weekends. In my client's home, I will treat their pets and space with respect. On top of basic needs such as feeding them and giving them water, I will play with them outside ( if there is an area for that) and shower them with attention
About: I’ve taken care of neighborhood dogs of all shapes and sizes for 9+ years! I keep active dogs playing and active and will cuddle with your cuddle bug! I’m currently a student at UA with a very flexible schedule that allows me to be available short notice and often! I work as a Certified Nursing Assistant outside of my class schedule.

Alec D.
“I can’t recommend Alec Dickens highly enough as a pet sitter. Alec provides safe, loving care for pets as if they were his own. He grew up around dogs and helped raise a rescue dog from a shelter, giving him firsthand experience with pets of all temperaments and needs. His natural ease with animals, combined with his attention to detail and genuine enthusiasm, makes him an outstanding choice for anyone looking for responsible and compassionate pet care. Alec is responsible, trustworthy, and offers excellent in-home care. Whether he’s walking dogs, playing with them, or simply providing company, he goes above and beyond to make sure each pet feels loved and safe. His customer service is top-tier—professional, friendly, and reliable. Outside of pet care, Alec is an ambitious and motivated individual. He’s currently a finance major at the University of Alabama, maintaining a strong 3.6 GPA, and is a two-time All-American lacrosse player. He also captained both his lacrosse and hockey teams in high school—showcasing his leadership and commitment in everything he does. Currently interning at Northwestern Mutual, Alec has passed a background check and is certified to sell health and life insurance, which speaks further to his integrity and professionalism. If you’re looking for someone who truly loves animals and will treat your pet with the highest level of care and respect, Alec is the perfect fit.”
