“Ronda is the best sitter we’ve ever had. She sent us updates and plenty of pictures of our two pups. We asked her to bring her cavapoo Goose and they had so much fun together. She kept our house very neat and clean and it was so nice not to worry about our pups at all. I highly recommend her for your fur babies.”
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.
“Sara was the best!! She took wonderful care of our two precious 4 legged babies! She communicated the entire time and sent pictures. Before leaving on our trip one of our dogs required medication which she administered with no issues. I was able to enjoy myself knowing that they were in good hands and being loved on and well cared for! I will continue to use Sara in the future and you should too!!”
“Ashlyn took wonderful care of our golden while we were away for a long weekend, and was great about sending us updates about how she was doing. We will definitely call Ashlyn again next time we need a sitter for our dog!”
“Callie was so great!! She did house sitting for us and our 3 older large dogs. One is special needs and when we came home the house was perfect and the dogs were happy as could be!! Couldn’t recommend her more, super sweet and kind. She communicated well and asked questions as needed. She’s FANTASTIC!!”
“Peter was exceptional. Right before we left one of the dogs was diagnosed with cancer and he went above and beyond to give us updates and deal with issues. Could not have asked for better service or responsiveness. Think the dogs wanted to leave with him”
“Kate was amazing looking after our two senior dogs. Extremely communicative and on time and made sure to communicate any concerns she had during her visit. I highly recommend her!”
“I had a lot of anxiety leaving my pups, but she assured me they were in great hands, and they definitely were! She did wonderful updating me and sending me photos of my boys! I will definitely be booking her again soon!!”
“Jen did a wonderful job! She lived on all my pups from full size Great Danes to small pound puppies! It was so nice to have her stay at my house. It kept the dogs in a regular routine at home while I was out of town. Thanks, Jen!”
About: My family and friends have trusted me with their fur babies for over 20 years. I have medical experience and have had a dog that developed diabetes at 10 years old, that I cared for. I will care for your senior pup or youngster! I have owned small and large dogs, and cats as well. I am currently semi- retired and doing online classes. I am home every day I need to be, to care for your baby as if they are home with you. I have 2 dogs that are 1 & 3 that love to run and play. I also have the ability to crate a medium and large dog as well, if that is your preference. I strive to keep as close to your normal routine as possible, but also want your pup to be on "vacation" as well!
“Courtney is wonderful! My cat didn't miss me because Courtney took such good care of her. This meant a lot to me because it was one of the first times I left my cat in someone else's care. I would not hesitate to use Courtney again! Courtney is a caring, conscientious animal sitter. She clearly loves animals. She also left everything spotless! I highly recommend Courtney if you want an animal sitter you can count on to follow your instructions and is dependable, diligent and caring.”
About: Each animal has a soul that deserve caring love. They deserve high quality care and attention. I communicate frequently through text and emails. I have been a social worker for 20+ years. I am no longer working full time. I would love to devote more of my time and attention to animals. In my personal experience I have helped care for small dogs and cats. These would be my preference. I will be more than happy to take pictures or short videos while sitting to show you how loved your pet is under my care. I am currently teaching part time at Montevallo. I am off during the summer. I have a few free days each week. My husband and I have a daughter who is in college. This gives me some available time to petsit for your furbabies! I can drive to your place and care for your animals as needed. I am an avid communicator through text/email. I will be happy to send pictures of your pets during my time with them.
“This was our first time using Rover and dog sitting for our senior Pug, Gordon. Laura did a great job keeping him on his feeding schedule and giving meds. She’s very dependable and communicates well. I like that she stayed in our home because I feel like that’s better for him. She sent pictures every day and we came home to a happy boy. She also took care of packages that were delivered and kept our home tidy while we were away. I really appreciated her and highly recommend Laura.”
“Morgan did a great job taking care of our elderly dogs! It was a bit of a last minute trip so we were grateful she was available for a holiday weekend. When we got home the pups were happy and the house looked as if no one had been here. Highly recommend!”

Christina L.
“Christina has dog/house sat for us for over 10 years. She has dog/house sat for us for a couple weeks to several months. She is always giving us updates via text message to let us know our fur babies are doing well, she also sends pictures. If she has any questions, she doesn't assume, she always ask so that our puppies are cared for properly. She has also taken our fur babies to the vet if anything unforseen happens. We do have a maid that keeps the house clean, but Christina also makes sure that the house is left the way she found it, the maid doesn't have to worry about doing extra cleaning because Christina is at the house, Christina always cleans up after herself. I always know our fur babies are taken care of when we return becasue they never seem like they were neglected.”

Wendy L.
“I can say that my mom is one of the most caring people I know, especially when it comes to animals. She's always had a natural connection with pets, and she treats every animal like part of the family. Growing up, I saw firsthand how lovingly she cared for our own pets, and now I’ve seen her do the same for others through pet sitting. She’s attentive, reliable, and always goes the extra mile to make sure pets feel safe, loved, and comfortable. If you're looking for someone you can truly trust with your furry friend, my mom is the perfect choice.”
