Riley is a wonderful dog walker/sitter (and dog photographer)! I could tell through the many photos and when we got home that our dog was comfortable and happy throughout the day (:

Highly recommend Jamie. She stepped in while I was recovering from knee surgery and walked Pippa every day. She is dependable, on time, friendly and communicates well. Pippa was always excited to see Jamie when she came.

About: I have worked with various breeds from a Newfoundland to a Pomeranian. My family owns two dogs that have had two litters of puppies so I have experience with dogs from new born to seniors. I also have a two furbabies of my own. I’m highly motivated and energetic, I don’t mind taking high energy dogs for long walks/ runs or just snuggling up and comforting dogs with separation anxiety. I don’t mind taking your dog on field trips, weather it’s to the lake or the dog park or just playing inside on rainy days! I love all breeds of dogs even ones considered “bully breeds” those are the sweetest in my opinion. For dog boarding if you have your dogs trained a certain way (staying off furniture) I can certainly enforce that while they are at my house. I can also work with any other needs like that if it is needed. Such as if your dogs do not get along with other dogs I can always put mine up in their room. The dogs will always meet in a neutral area before brought in the house to make sure they get along! I am currently attending school online so my schedule is open and very flexible! Whether your dog just needs a walk midday, someone to feed them while you’re at work, or someone to come stay with them/ to come stay with me and my pup because they aren’t good alone at home! I am currently in an house it does not have a fenced in backyard but i do have a big backyard and tie outs. I also have 2 furbabies to keep your pup comapany! If your dog is reactive i will make sure to keep a close eye on our surroundings while on walks!

About: Currently I'm the proud momma of a a sweet and sassy calico, and a silly snuggly coon hound. I've raised beagles, pitbulls, mixed-breed doggies, fish, kitties, a snake, and also fostered beagles as a tribute to my childhood beagle, Abby, when she passed at the age of 18. Old or young, big or small, I love them all! Your fur babies will be given plenty of snuggles, attention, and love! I'll jump in and play with them and I'm not afraid of handling pets with temperaments or special needs and will be happy to send photos and updates to make you feel like you're right here with us even while you're away. I believe pets are just like people but speak a different language...if you ever asked my pets they would tell you I speak fluent cat and dog ;o) My casual demeanor and sweet voice have made me the "pied piper of animals" and often surprise others who say "my pet never goes to strangers!" Feel free to let me know what I can do to make your fur-babies feel comfortable and special while you're away. I am currently between jobs which means I have plenty of availability time and thus I can spoil your fur babies with all of my attention Your pets and your home will be cared for as if they're my own. Just let me know what you need and I'll make it happen

About: I've taken care of animals my entire life growing up on a farm twice now, I worked at a vet as well and was personal all day/over night pet sitter for over a year, I've rescued several animals recently and taken them to get life saving medical care and gotten them properly adopted, I come from a very animal loving family and hope to open my own boarding/ rescue and adoption clinic one day along with a pet cafe I'm usually always available, if I'm not available it's once in a very rare occasion, I have a very flexible schedule accommodating for any customer scheduling needs or last minute bookings Im recently moved to a medium house with a fenced good size backyard, with a kitty pool if needed perfect for outside play time grooming or just chilling out, there are no animals inside my home right now besides 2 ducks and chickens that will be kept completely separate from other animals, but i will be moving my cat in with me soon, she works amazing with smaller dogs and did with my german shepherd but im unsure about larger dogs other then that so if your uncomfortable with them around cats the inside of the yard outside is very sizeable and can be shaded i also have dedicated the master bedroom to pet boarding so its empty and great for indoor playtime. As for going to the clients house I'm very good with timed medicated or specifically dieted animals, and animals of all kinds, just make me little list of things there allowed to do and not allowed to do I don't accidentally reward bad behavior or tell them no to going on the furniture or something that there usually allowed to do, I don't mind staying in a clients house over night but I will get my husband or my sister to stay with me for my own safety and depending on the booking there can be extra fees for it, I don't mind cameras being all over just none in the bathroom ofc and none where I'll be sleeping over night ofc, I'm good at taking animals out on walks to and pet grooming

About: I know how stressful it can be to choose someone to care for your pets, and I’ve totally been there. I have two small dogs myself, and I hate leaving them behind. My goal is to give you peace of mind, knowing your pets are safe, happy, and loved while you’re away. I’ve cared for animals my whole life, from cats, and dogs, to even an abandoned deer for two days. I’d love to be your best friend’s new best friend! Currently, I’m a stay at home dog mom. I take my boys to the Red Mountain or Vestavia Hills Dog Park almost everyday, and they couldn’t be happier! Whether your pet stays with me or I come to you, they’ll be cared for just like my own. In my home, they’ll enjoy our fully fenced, backyard, walks, playtime, and plenty of snuggles. In your home, I’ll stick to their routine so they feel happy, safe, and loved

I have experience with young and senior pets. I will provide daily updates to make sure your pet is in safe hands! Feel free to ask any questions. I will do my best to make sure all accommodations are met. I am in school full time, but have weekends free and as well as MWF.

I have an apartment with a dog yard to make sure pets can run around fenced in and have time to destress. I can walk pets, and make sure all dietary needs are met. I also live next to a 3 mile trail which can be used with pets.

About: I am currently finishing up my Bachelors Degree in Child and Youth Development. I just finished playing college softball at a Divison 1 level. I am 21 years old. I have watched my family and friends pets for years and have been well trusted and have a big heart for all animals as I have a puppy of my own! I can provide plenty of services such as in home visits, watching your pet overnight, and even babysitting them for the day! I do work full time so nights and weekends are preferred as I would only be able to provide a potty break during work hours (9-6) on my lunch break throughout the week. I am available most weekends and week nights for all of your pet sitting needs. Most holidays I also have availability if needed to work something out! I have a fenced in yard with plenty of space for your baby to run around in. I also have the sweetest almost two year old cockapoo named Abby that would love to play with your pet.

About: Not only have I been dog sitting for the last 15 years, but I also have a lot of other experience with pet care! I have worked in a pet store as well as in veterinary offices when I used to live back in Indiana so I have learned a lot about caring for animals. I attended veterinary nursing school too before I moved, but I didn’t get to finish before moving down here and am currently looking to re start schooling here in Alabama. While I there I gained even more knowledge on animal health and care. I was the kennel manager for the shelter pets that we had at the school, where I was in charge of administering oral and IV/IM pet medication. I have experience working with elderly pets with medical issues as my own fur baby who passed in 2025 suffered from CHF and she required a lot of extra care towards the end. I love all types of animals and have experience caring for not only just dogs and cats. Over the years I have owned reptiles, turtles, and currently own 2 rabbits as well as 2 cats and 1 dog! If you book with me I will treat your pet as though they were my own so you can rest easy knowing they are loved and taken care of! I only work part time, so I have a very flexible schedule. I will have plenty of time to spend time with your pet! I am not typically away from home for very long, so I will be able to regularly come to check on your pet. I have a large fenced in yard and a dog door that my two dogs go in and out of freely. I will walk or run with your dog daily. There is usually always someone in my house at home at all times, who all love to interact with dogs. I have one other dogs. She is typically nice with other dogs but can be very skittish, so they would need to be introduced prior to being watched. The safety and comfort of all of the dogs including my own are my priority, so it needs to be a good fit. My dog does love to play a lot so they usually enjoy having another furry friend to play with. My 2 cats and 2 rabbits also live in the home, but the layout of the house allows them to stay in the upstairs portion of the house and it is blocked off to allow them to be separated. They all get along, but I feel more comfortable to allow them to have their own spaces.

By currently owning two pets I am constantly taking care of my cats! I have a flexible work schedule so I am able to take a lunch and check in on a pet! I make sure that all my animals are updated on vaccines and they attend their regular vet check ups. I research types of food that I feed my pets and what type of toys they are allowed to have.
