“Sarah, did a FANTASTIC job visiting with our cat while we were away. He felt SOOOOO soft from her great brushing when we got home, and seemed extra playful. It is a huge relief to have someone we trust who is also great with animals watch our pet, and allows us to travel worry-free. We can't recommend Sarah B enough!”
“Louann did an great job, it made my vacation all the better knowing my kitties were in good hands. She kept me up to date with pictures. She spent time playing with them which was appreciated. Will definitely reach out again in the future”
“Susan was exactly what I needed for taking care of my kitty last minute while I was away! She was detailed and responsive, time flexible, and I think my cat has a new best friend. Would recommend Susan to anyone in the area needing a pet sitter.”
About: **Privately Insured for Peace of Mind** I've been pet sitting since childhood for all kinds of pets. My care experience has even involved small mammals, piglets, arthropods, and repitlies. I particularly enjoy working with shy and anxious dogs and cats. As a sitter, I pay attention to the details, such as pet body language and making sure food and water bowls are cleaned, and I am diligent in keeping pets out of potentially dangerous situations. Overnight dog sits include at least one walk a day unless otherwise specified or the weather prevents it, in which case indoor playtime will be had instead. I am comfortable administering medications, including injections. I am avaliable for constant care overnights (no leaving the dog(s) alone) for an additional fee. I am self-employed, so my schedule is extremely flexible and I am avaliable for constant care for an additional rate. Most of my exercise comes from walking dogs, so I am more than happy to take the long route if your pooch is up for it! I am very careful with your pets, avoiding encounters with unfamiliar dogs or people to avoid conflicts. My food is never within reach, and I pride myself on keeping your home clean and ready for your return.
“I will definitely book Camilla again when I travel! She took great care of my dogs! She provided great updates and pictures for each of her drop in visits! Everything went great!”
“Susan is absolutely fantastic. She takes excellent care of our boys, takes great pictures and always provides the best updates! Thanks, Susan for being there for us at the drop of a hat!”
“Leah was great with our two dogs! She made us feel at ease while we were away and updated us thoroughly after every visit with lots of pictures included. We highly recommend Leah!”
“Ray is Great! I use him on repeat for boarding and dropping in. Great Communicator. My pup knows him and loves him. Always 5 Stars! Thanks again Ray for accepting this last booking on short notice!”
“Hannah was a great dog watcher for our 9 day trip! She was timely, sent pictures, and even helped out when our elderly dog had accidents in between stops. She also sent pictures and helped when someone hit our mailbox while we were gone. Highly recommend!”
“Emma has been a huge blessing and is very reliable. She is someone you can always count on and shows great love to my dog like he’s one of hers. She listens to every little detail to ensure your experience is nothing short of what you expect, and I am very thankful for her.”
“Leah was great. She was on time and sent us great pictures of Baxter. She sent an excellent report and was flexible with the times we needed. She responded quickly to all questions. My husband and I were not worried all day about Baxter. The next time we are in town we would book with Leah.”
“We love having Joy come to see our dogs! And they love her! We will continue to have her come watch our dogs because she is professional, quick to respond, great with our dogs, and always gives us updates!”
“So happy I have Mya to look after Sox. She is so great with her and is always letting me know how she is doing while I am away. Great communicator and so compassionate and caring. Thank you Mya.”
“Rachel is a great pet sitter! She is punctual, communicative, thoughtful and thorough. We booked her for a second occasion because we were so happy with her. Very sweet person.”
About: All my life I’ve been in love with dogs! I want to spend as much time as I can with them and meet new breeds and types. I have been doing this for 6 years now and I still love it like it was the first year! So what better way to do that than Rover! I will love your dog like it’s my own and spoil it like it’s my own child. I don’t have children yet but I think it was a good analogy. :) If you would like to talk with me on the phone I am happy to get the know the owners as well! I’m also pretty fit so even if your dog has a lot of energy I’ll be able to keep up for sure! I hope you consider me. Im currently working part time so I will have plenty of time to spend with your pup! We can go for plenty of walks and have plenty of play! I have a spacious apartment so your pooch will have plenty of space to run around and explore the environment. I will provide plenty of cuddles and attention to your pet as well while in my care!
“Darby is absolutely lovely. She treats our pup just like he was her own. Our pup can be a little of a pain when we are not around, he’s an escape artist and Darby did a wonderful job when it comes to arriving and leaving. We would strongly recommend her for any pet sitting needs.”
About: Hello! My name is Amber and I live in the Irondale area. I love animals! I know how hard it is to leave your fur babies and you just don’t want to leave them with anyone! I am trustworthy, caring, patient and can give you a worry free experience being away from your fur babies! I have experience with cats and dogs and have worked for WAG in the past. Animals love me! I have owned cats and one dog. I am comfortable around all types and sizes. Let’s schedule a meet and greet! I will be the one and only pet sitter for you! I had a great experience on here and want to provide the same to you. Thank you for reading! Roll Tide! I work a hybrid schedule so I am able to work around your schedule as needed for care. I can also come around lunchtime as needed. I keep my cat indoors so I know how important it is to be careful when opening doors to the outside. I respect leash rules and have a fenced in yard.
