About: I’ve taken care of all kinds of animals since I was around 12 years old. I started with watching animals in my neighborhood and have started staying at houses while families are on vacation. I’m currently in school and my class times make me available for most of the day, so I can spend a lot of time with your pets! I’m available to pet sit overnight any day of the week. I have a flexible schedule, so I can make any routine for your animals work! I love all animals so they will get a lot of love while you’re away.
About: Being a past owner of a beautiful border collie mix (the pup in my profile) my skills for high energy dogs and keeping up with their schedules became a necessary skill. I love animals in general, but dogs have captivated my heart. I do well with timid, aggressive, and let's be honest stubborn dogs. I love being outside and walking around town with an adorable dog on my side. This is so I can get some puppy love back in my life and help you with spoiling and exercising your fur baby when your schedules get a little busy. I'm looking to get more experience caring for others' animals to maybe someday extend just a service into an actual business. I want your animal to be treated on the same level as you would be treated checking and staying at a hotel. I know how important an animal is to a house hold, and how as much as we would love to stay and play all day life calls. Let me keep your mind at ease when it comes to your 4 legged family member. I am a Stay at Home Mom. I am up before the sun and find myself finding places to walk with my little one. Somedays we go adventuring with our German Shepard or just enjoy playing with him in our backyard. Weekends we spend in town with our family. Not many days where we are not too far from Madison or Huntsville. I have two cats and a German Shepard so coming to your pets' comfort place is the best means of me taking care of your animals.
About: I grew up with 3 big AKC Labradors in the house and my dad bred puppies. They were so much fun and outdoorsy. As I grew older, I transitioned into the lap dog world and now I can't imagine it any other way! Our kitty cat and our pup play and sleep together. We love cuddle time and playtime and everything in between! I work from home on a flexible schedule so it's not a problem to take frequent potty or play breaks. My two are usually sleeping or playing in my office while I’m working. We have a fairly spacious house, and I keep doors closed on any rooms that are off-limits for dogs/cats. We allow animals on the furniture and my dog sleeps in the bed with me. The only reason the kitty gets crated at night (in her cushy crate), is that she will jump on my face while I'm sleeping if she isn't contained lol! We have a nice neighborhood to take walks in if your pets like that. My dog is always willing to play with them as well!
“Mako did a great job caring for our two cats and two guinea pigs! She was very diligent and took notes during our meet and greet as not to forget anything. She was very communicative and we didn’t have any worries about our pets while we were gone. We will definitely book her again in the future!”
“Danielle was amazing ! She perfectly matched my expectations regarding my 2 cats. She's super friendly and even one of my cat *that usually never show up) let Danielle pet her ! I really appreciated all the pictures and detailed summary for each visit. I'll for sure contact Danielle in the future !”
About: I have had dogs all my life and cats growing up. Currently have 3 dogs of my own. I often take care of friend's cat's while they are away. I work Monday through Friday 8-430 but have time and breaks to drop in before, during and after work. I am generally free on weekends also. I will stop by and do the required/requested pet tending to tasks. Feed, water, play. Whatever is needed. Empty little boxes and/or walk dogs.
“There’s no other words to describe Allison other than amazing! We have been using her services for severalllll years and each time she is awesome! She has literally watched our animals grow up and has loved them thru all of it!”
“Rebekah did a great job dropping in on our pups while we were away! They loved her as soon as they met her! She is very responsible and trustworthy! We will definitely use her again when traveling!”
“Nyah was on time and took great care of our dog squad. She must have tired them out pretty good because when I got home they were happy but not the usual spastic insane maniacs that I expected. I will look for her next I need a Rover.”
“Ben and Savannah did an excellent job taking care of our dogs when we were gone for a week. They are very reliable, dependable, and I have already booked them for another trip we have coming up.”
About: I have had pets all my life. In high school I started volunteering at an animal rescue shelter. I have been involved with animals in some capacity ever since. I am currently unemployed so I have all the time in the world to take care of your pets! I am happy to talk about what car is needed and will work with you to make sure they get the care they need I do not offer to take care of animals in my home as I have two cats and a wife that works from home occasionally. However I am happy to take care of them in yours
“We consider ourselves lucky to have found Natalie to take care of our cats. The booking was a week before our trip (last minute for me), and Natalie was willing to work with us regarding times. We came home to healthy and happy cats who had all their needs met, and more. Natalie posted daily updates of both her activities, and pictures, which we greatly appreciated. She not only took care of their basics - food, water, litter bowls, treats - but spent time interacting with them. We have some great action pictures that made us laugh! We didn't have a minutes worry about them while we were gone. I'd recommend Natalie in a heartbeat, and we will be using her again.”
About: I’ve been walking dogs and dog sitting for family and friends since I was 10. I am a certified veterinary assistant and have experience in the clinic. I have been held responsible for walking, feeding, watering, and grooming pets in the past. I am currently working in the er 2-3 days a week. I work 12 hour shifts and will put unavailable unless the client approves me checking in before and after work. I am a college student but my classes are online so I am easily flexible and can complete my school anytime and anywhere. When pet sitting I like to stick to a routine the dog is familiar with as it is already stressful for them when their family is gone. I will play with them and take them on walks if that is something your dog enjoys.
