About: I am a High School graduate looking to meet pets and make a few dollars while waiting to go off to college. I have worked at Chick-Fil-A for two years and have 7 furry friends of my own (your pets don’t have to meet mine if you don’t want them too!) so I know how pets of all kinds behave. Pet care for me can be any time pretty much because I recently quit my job and don’t have much happening until I go off for college. My house is fenced in, I keep careful eyes on pets, and will ensure your pet has the best times of their lives when they are with me. I guarantee it!
“Zaira was a lifesaver!! The day before she was scheduled to watch my dog, Darla (my dog) got super sick and had to go to the vet. Zaira was super flexible, helped pick her up from the vet for me along with her meds, and took great care of her while I was on a mandatory work trip!! She saved my butt and was so flexible and accomodating, turning a really anxious and scary situation around for me. Will totally book again, thank you Zaira for being awesome!!!”

“Megan was wonderful! She sent lots of pictures and took Jax for a walk every day. Jinx, our cat also loved her and got plenty of cuddles and attention from Megan. She communicated with us our entire trip and made us feel comfortable with leaving our babies in her care. We will definitely have Megan back for our next trip. Thank you Megan!”

About: Hi, I’m Aly! My house was never empty growing up—I was raised in a home full of cats, which taught me how to respect and care for even the pickiest feline personalities. At the same time, I’ve always been the go-to dog walker for my friends and family, and I've recently taken that passion professional. Currently, I’m active on Wag!, where I’ve completed multiple successful walks and have already secured a repeat client who trusts me with their dog’s daily exercise. I’m excited to expand to Rover to offer that same high level of care to both dog and cat owners in the Tuscaloosa area! As a flexible independent worker, my schedule is my own, which means I can easily prioritize your pet’s routine! Whether it’s a mid-day check-in or a last-minute visit, I have the freedom to be there when you can’t. When I’m not hanging out with your pets, you’ll usually find me curled up with a book or learning a new skill. Since I value a calm and relaxed environment, I’m the perfect match for your pet who enjoy a peaceful presence or a quiet companion to sit with them while they nap. I focus on providing personalized care that matches your pet’s unique energy level. Whether I’m visiting for a drop-in or staying overnight, my priority is maintaining the routine that makes them feel safe and happy.

About: I have experience caring for dogs and cats for friends, family, and neighbors. I am responsible, patient, and love spending time with animals. I make sure pets are fed, exercised, and feel safe and comfortable while their owners are away. I treat every pet like they are my own and always pay attention to their needs and routines. I am a full-time student at the University of Alabama, but I have a flexible schedule that allows me to care for pets throughout the week. I’m available for walks, feeding, playtime, and check-ins for both dogs and cats. I always make sure pets get the attention and care they need while their owners are away. I always make sure pets feel safe, comfortable, and cared for in their home while their owner is away. I carefully follow feeding schedules, routines, and any special instructions. Whether it’s walks for dogs or playtime and litter care for cats, I’m responsible, attentive, and treat every pet like my own.
“Manisha did an excellent job dog sitting during Thanksgiving week when no one else could. We had full trust in her after our initial meeting. She’s very responsible and our two dogs were in excellent hands while we were away. We were very fortunate to find her. Scott W.”

“Savannah is amazing! Our dog, Willy, was genuinely bummed when we got home and Savannah had to leave lol. She played with him a lot, sent us many great photos, and gave him tons of fun and attention. He was a very happy dog and slept like a rock that night. We’re definitely rebooking with her next time we’re in town. Thanks, Savannah!”

“Samantha did a fantastic job keeping our lab while we were on a long vacation! She sent regular updates and pictures. She even stayed with him and kept him calm in the midst of a tornado warning! I would absolutely recommend her for all of your pet sitting needs!”

“Hayden was so amazing with my two kittens! Constant pictures clearly showing love and affection to both of them! She was very respectful and kept the place very clean. She’s super easy to get along with and I would 100% recommend her to anyone! Definitely will be booking more with Hayden!”

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.
About: I have a dog and 2 cats of my own so I consider myself experienced in pet care. I have dog sat for many years now for both neighbors and family. Since I have owned many cats over the years I also consider myself experienced in cat care. 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 my schedule is very flexible. I also don’t mind getting up early if necessary for your pet. 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’ve had dogs since the literal day I was born. I have 4 dogs at home (labradors and labradoodles), and one dog currently with me! Spending time with dogs is one of my favorite things.

About: Hi! I’m Rachel, and I’ve been caring for pets since I was 8 years old. I have experience watching family friends’ animals and have cared for up to five dogs at once. I love going on walks, playing with pets, and making sure they feel safe and loved. I also have two dogs of my own: a cuddly Pit Bull and a crazy Corgi! I am an elementary teacher, I am completely available over the summer and most holidays but unavailable during the school year from 6 am- 4 pm I am fine sleeping in house or just checking in before leaving for the night! I can do whatever makes the pet owner most comfortable and am very open!!
About: Neighbors and friends have relied on me to take care of their dogs while gone for about a year now. Whatever you want done I can do it!

You can trust I’ll take good care of your pets! I’m very responsible, trustworthy, and love spending time playing with pups! I also love being outdoors too!
About: I’ve been an animal lover for as long as I can remember, and caring for pets has always come naturally to me. Growing up, I regularly pet sat for neighbors, caring for dogs, cats, and even exotic animals, and over time I built a loyal client base in my hometown that turned pet sitting into a consistent job. I have experience with pets of all ages and sizes from training and keeping up with energetic puppies to providing gentle, attentive care for senior dogs. Having had dogs my entire life, including rescues from shelters, I’m very comfortable working with a wide range of personalities and temperaments. I can also administer medications and follow specific care routines, and I always prioritize creating a safe, calm, and loving environment so pets feel comfortable while their owners are away. I also make it a point to be highly responsive, so owners can count on me to quickly answer any calls or texts and provide updates for peace of mind. Pet sitting fits seamlessly into my weekly routine, especially during the summer. As a current senior at UA, I have a very flexible schedule and am looking to pet sit full time, which allows me to be fully available for boarding, walks, and regular potty breaks throughout the day. Because I’m not tied to a strict 9–5 schedule, I can give pets consistent attention, maintain their routines, and be present for their needs at all hours. This flexibility also means I can easily accommodate specific requests from owners and ensure their pets get the time, care, and supervision they deserve. I tailor my care based on each pet’s routine and the service requested, whether in my home or a client’s home. In my home, I create a safe, clean, and calm environment where pets can feel comfortable and relaxed, keeping to their usual feeding schedules, exercise needs, and any specific instructions provided. I make sure they get plenty of attention, playtime, and supervision throughout the day. In a client’s home, I focus on maintaining the pet’s normal routine as closely as possible so they feel secure in their familiar space. This includes feeding, walks, potty breaks, playtime, and any special care like administering medication or following training guidelines. I’m respectful of the home, keep everything tidy, and provide regular updates so owners know their pets are happy and well cared for.
“Deshun was THE ABSOLUTE BEST. We had him take care of our little Squishy who recently had ACL surgery and was recently diagnosed with a neurological condition. He took care of our Squishy for a whole week and was absolutely fantastic. Consistent photo snd video updates throughout the stay. Made our vacation 100% worry free. Would absolutely recommend to anyone! Thanks Deshun!”
