About: - My apartment receives monthly flea treatment, but all pets should still be on flea prevention medication before to come to my house - All pets should be fully vaccinated - Usually, I send pictures/videos ones, around 8-8:30 pm and a little update if you request it. I understand that leave you pet with a strangers can be very anxious , but I assure you , your pet has place to sleep, a lot of attention, a lot of play time, walks and love. ☺️ - I am not accept dogs with any type of aggression: dog, cat or kids. - I’m not accept dogs without meet and greet . I have been taking care of animals since early childhood. I always brought home homeless animals. My parents and I treated and helped abandoned babies recover. Love for animals is in my blood. my family had cats, dogs, birds, squirrels. I know how to give pills, how important it is to play and walk the dogs a lot, how important it is to change the litter box often. I am very empathic and always feel sorry for our smaller brothers. I’m stay home mom. I have plenty of time to care about pets while my son at school . After school usually we walk all day and take dogs with us. walking the dog will be a minimum of 30 minutes.i had husky before and we walk together at least an hour. Dogs with high energy is not a problem for me😄. If your dog likes to play with balls, I will be glad to play with him/her. if your pet takes pills - no problem! I'll take care of that too! I provide brush hair (fur) , night walks, gentle care.

About: I have taken care of dogs of different breeds and ages. I love taking dogs for walks and playing fetch and of course for going to potty. For house sitting, I have house sat for months at a time for a couple who would go out of town several times through out the year. I am very careful to make sure that the house is kept the same way as when the owner left. I clean up after myself. I am available during the day and evenings if needed. My only unavailable day would be Sundays but Sunday evenings after 8 pm I am available. I just have the one cat and she is indoor only so I do not have a fenced in area so my house is not suitable for cat or dog sitting.

“Ashlyn provided drop in visits for our 2 dogs while we were away. She was wonderful & took such great care of them. They warmed up to her very quickly & were in great spirits when we got home. Would highly recommend!”


“Sydney was absolutely amazing with my cat Winston! I had a trip planned out of town when he had an allergic reaction to some new food and Sydney took great care of him! By the time I got home his rash had totally cleared up she was an absolute life saver and I know Winston enjoyed the company while I was gone. I got lots of pictures while I was gone and felt at ease knowing he was taken care of!”


“Leah was amazing! She did drop ins for my cat and dog while we were out of town. She was reliable and the best communicator. We got pictures of our fur babies and never worried once about them in her care! Would recommend and would definitely book again.”


“Lauren took great care of our dogs and communicated with us each time she visited and had any questions. We came home, and the dogs were healthy and happy to see us.”


About: I understand how important it is for dogs to get the exercise they need, and understand how hard it might be for someone who works during the day to provide them with that. I’d love to include an animal on my daily walks and let them sniff to their hearts content! I have a pretty flexible job, and can do 30 minute drop ins between 8am - 5pm. Any time before or after that I can stay longer! Weekends I am available any time. I will make sure your pet gets the care they need! Making sure they are well fed, hydrated, and taking them on walks if needed. I love to play, and can modify the level of play based on the age/energy level of your pet.

“Allison is amazing and was able to take care of our cat during a recent snowstorm while we were away. She is someone trustworthy and very dependable!”


“Jaylin was fantastic with our cats for the week. They were quite content when we came back! Jaylin provided great updates and pics of the cats, including our more reclusive feline sitting on a lap — high praise indeed! We would definitely welcome Jaylin back again. :)”


“Devan has been seeing my two pups for a couple of months now and has been extremely communicative and reliable. I know my pups are in great hands with her!”


“This was our first time working with BriAnna. She did a great job! She was excellent about staying in touch and responding to messages. She came to meet the animals prior to our trip date. They were relaxed and comfortable around her. The Rover cards came regularly, and BriAnna always kept us informed of any additional information or issues. Would definitely hire her again.”


“I found Gabby to be absolutely fantastic to work with. She was easy to connect with, kind to my dogs, professional, and very dependable! Gabby was fantastic with my dogs. Thank you!”


About: I was trained how to train dogs at an early age after our first dog was trained by our breeder. Since then I trained 2 golden retrievers and an Australian Cattle dog (red heeler). Both breeds are strong willed and have high energy. I work from home and so have a lot of freedom to break away to take care of dogs. I enjoy taking care of dogs and sharing the knowledge from my experience of training and raising dogs. I have a large beautiful fenced yard, have multiple crates for use and live within walking distance of a dog park. I have kids that will make sure your dog gets lots of love while being boarded.

About: Hey, my name is Greta I’m a current college student at UAB. I’ve owned dogs my whole life, and currently have a one year old lab in his teenage phase so I definitely have experience with hyper and sassy larger dogs. I would love to help take care of your pups! I also have experience cat sitting I regularly drop in and take care of two of my friends cats. I’m a college student, and I also have a prn hospital job that I make my own schedule. My schedule is usually pretty flexible so I can fit pet care in at the last minute if I need to. I treat other peoples pet how I would treat my own with love and the best intentions with everything I do. I am also respectful of how the client would like there pet treated.

“Camryn was so amazing checking in on my dog at home while I was at work. She sent me lots of pictures and went above and beyond by fending off my house from a surprise ant infestation. She’s so sweet!”
