Dog Sitting in Alabaster

About: I’ve worked in a veterinary clinic as a vet tech in training, but what truly matters is my love for animals. From bouncy puppies to gentle seniors, I care for every pet like they’re my own—making sure they feel safe, happy, and loved while keeping you updated along the way. Caring for pets is a natural part of my day. As someone with hands-on veterinary clinic experience and training, I’m comfortable building pet care into a structured routine—whether that means morning walks, feeding schedules, or evening cuddle time. Since I’m currently in school, my schedule is flexible, which allows me to give pets the time and attention they deserve throughout the day. For me, pet care isn’t an “extra task”—it’s something I love and look forward to. When I’m in a client’s home, I care for pets the same way I would in my own—lovingly and with respect for your space. I follow your instructions closely, from feeding and walks to playtime and routines, so your pet feels safe and comfortable. I keep things tidy, double-check doors and gates, and always treat your home with care. My goal is to make sure you come back to a happy pet and a home just the way you left it.

About: I’m 39 years old and there has been a pet in my life since I was 7. I’m an only child and my pets quickly became like siblings (we didn’t fight like them, promise). I became the primary caregiver for my mom’s two senior mini dachshunds a few years ago and was able to get them crate and pee-pad trained. One of them crossed the rainbow bridge sadly, but my other little old lady is doing well. I fall in love with every animal I see and I would love the chance to fall in love with yours. I’m currently working a full time second shift job (1pm-11pm) so I have the mornings completely open to check on your babies. I’m also a night owl and have no problem doing a nighttime check after work or begin an overnight stay. If you have a fenced yard, I will let them outside and let them do their business before tossing a ball or toy or running around with them to get the zoomies out. If no yard, then I will take them out on a leash for a walk then some playtime inside. Food and water will be checked and refilled; cuddles will be provided at will. :)

“Gennifer did great with my senior dog. She requires special care and Gennifer was patient and compassionate with her. Thank you for taking care of my ol’ girl. Highly recommended sitter.”

“I was a first time Rover customer. Cortney and her husband were so loving to my Lucy that I had no worries while I was gone. I am hoping she is available the next time I go out of town!”

“Jennifer was wonderful. This was our first time using “Rover” and it exceeded our expectations. Jennifer kept in touch with us and sent pics of our girl. We highly recommend Jennifer!!”

About: Hi! I’ve been pet sitting for over 10 years and have experience caring for dogs of all sizes, breeds, and personalities. From energetic puppies to senior pets, I always make sure every animal feels safe, loved, and comfortable while you’re away. I’m extremely reliable, communicative, and treat every pet like my own. I also have plenty of references from happy pet owners who trust me with their furry family members. Whether your pet needs walks, playtime, cuddles, or extra patience and care, I’d love to help! I am currently in graduate school pursuing my doctorate in Occupational Therapy. I’ve been pet sitting for over 10 years and have experience caring for animals of all sizes, breeds, and personalities. As a pet owner myself, I understand how important it is to find someone trustworthy, patient, and dependable to care for your pets while you’re away. I’m very reliable, communicative, and treat every animal like my own. I’m also available for overnight stays to help keep your pets comfortable and maintain their normal routine. I have plenty of references from happy pet owners and would love the opportunity to care for your pets! When caring for pets in clients’ homes, I prioritize safety, routine, and respect for both the animals and the home environment. I follow all owner instructions closely, including feeding schedules, medication needs, walking routines, and any behavioral considerations. I make sure doors, gates, and crates are always secured to prevent escapes, and I supervise pets carefully during all interactions and outdoor time. I’m attentive to each animal’s comfort level and body language so I can respond appropriately and reduce stress, especially in new or unfamiliar situations. I also keep the home clean and organized, cleaning up after pets, refreshing water bowls, and ensuring the space is left just as I found it. Communication is important to me, so I provide regular updates and am quick to respond if anything comes up.

About: I love fur babies! I have had pets all of my life and from cats and dogs to even dwarf frogs. Big, tall, short, and small- I will love them all! I understand the stress of leaving town and worrying about your fur babies! I am more than happy to send cute photos for you to archive while you are away to let you know your baby is happy, healthy, and safe! I have an extremely open schedule. I would love to make pet sitting my full time job! Regular clients are welcome! Give me all of the dates you think you might need me and I will clear my calendar! I often take my pup out with me! I feel brain stimulation of any kind keeps them happy and healthy! Walks are important! Enrichment time along with gentle training: treats to sit or lay down.

“Loved Tanya and would use again! My cat's food, water, and litter was all good, and she apparently even cleaned up a mess my cats had made of some bread I forgot to put away according to my neighbor/grandmother (sorry about that, by the way!)”

Whether it’s walks, drop-ins, playtime, feedings, litter box scooping, or even baths, I’ve got it covered. I don’t do boarding or keep pets at my place, but I’m happy to help however I can in your home.

Pet care is nonstop for me — it’s what I do every single day. My routine revolves around walks, drop-ins, baths, enrichment time, and everything in between. I’m used to being on the move and keeping up with each pet’s schedule. This isn’t just a side gig — it’s a big part of my life, and I’m fully committed to giving every pet the time and attention they deserve. I provide care in my clients’ homes where pets are most comfortable and relaxed. I stick to their usual routine as much as possible — whether that means feeding, walks, playtime, or giving medication. I’m big on building trust with each animal and making sure they feel safe while their person is away. I always leave things clean, double-check food and water, and send updates so you know your pet is in good hands.

“Meena took very good care of my kitty boys when we were gone for vacation. We were so happy to find her after we moved to Birmingham. Like I said before, she is the best cat sitter we ever had. I can tell that she is a true animal lover, not just do it for job.”

“We are completely satisfied with David’s work. I really need 10 stars to rate him because I would give a 10.”

“We loved Stacy! She took great care of our dogs”

Abigail D.

“Dana is fantastic! She stopped by to let Albus and Tom out to potty, and everything went so smoothly. Tom can be a little shy and anxious with new people, but she was so patient and gentle that he warmed right up to her. Both boys were well-cared for and happy after her visit. Highly recommend!”

About: I have taken care of dogs since I was 5 and have had all ages so I have had experience in how handle them all. i do not go to school until after 9am and I am able to be home by 11:30am Monday thru Friday. I can be home all day Saturday and Sundays. Monday-Wednesday I typically work but have a flexible schedule and can change it if needed. So this will allow me to be the only person caring for your animal. In my home we let our cats roam and have their bowls out so they can eat whenever. If you need me to keep your cat on a schedule I can also do that. We feed our dog morning and night. I let him out in the morning and let him stay outside in our backyard/deck until I or someone else get home.

About: I have experience with my own 2 dogs, a chocolate lab and a german sherpard. As well as helping friends and family when they need a pet sitter for their dogs or cats. I have limited experience with turtles, birds and lizards. I am currently a student, I am usually in class 8-12, so I will spend the afternoon, evening, or weekends open for pet sitting or drop-in visits. I have a fenced-in backyard for my two dogs. They are crate-trained; however, they are trusted to be in the home alone. They are well cared for, love people and other dogs.

“Princess is WONDERFUL. Our dog absolutely adores her and loses his sweet mind when she comes around. She keeps us informed about how he’s doing, how he’s eating, etc. We love and trust her completely.”

About: Hey guys! I have been pet sitting since I was 10 years old. I have always had two cocker spaniels and also currently have a cat. I worked at a vet clinic when I was 16 as a kennel tech and assistant. I am familiar and comfortable with all breeds and behaviors! I would love to take care of your fur babies:) I am a full time student at Auburn university but have a very flexible schedule! Each week may vary considering on my mandatory work/activities. Don’t be afraid to reach out because I will always most likely have time to swing by and care for your pets! On breaks I will likely be home in Pelham and would be happy to watch your fur babies over holidays or breaks! I will do anything you ask me to! My biggest hope is to care for your pets just as you do, so whatever that consists of I will do.

“Exceptional service. Communication was great! Would definitely use again. Thanks for all your help.”

“Carson did an amazing job watching our senior golden for us while we enjoyed vacation. We knew she was in good hands when we first met sweet Carson and continued to get thoughtful updates during the week. We will definitely be using Carson as a sitter again! Highly recommend”
