“Sarah is the best! This is the first time we have used Rover and Sarah exceeded expectations! We received photo updates of our dog during her stay. Pancake came back a very happy girl!”

About: Working at animal hospitals and pet stores has taught me to care and handle not only my own animals but the animals of others as well. I am caring and loving with your dog as if it is my own but firm need be. I am not squeamish when it comes to cleaning up after your dog. While with your dog they will get 100% of my attention because the safety of your dog is my #1 priority. I am very careful with special needs dogs and always keep in mind their specific needs. I am very knowledgeable with most breeds and their dos and don'ts. Your dog will enjoy their play time with me. They will be looking forward to my visits! Thank you I am available mostly all day and evenings. Will work around your dogs normal routine / schedule. Also available weekends unless out of town or booked. I do have 3 dogs and 5 cats, but your baby would be separated from all of them. We have our own kennels if you baby is used to sleep in them. Or we allow your babies to sleep in the bed with us. We have a big backyard with toys and and little pool during the summer.
“The best! I wish I could book her every time. Only time I left my dog with someone and wasn’t anxious the whole time. She always sent photos and updates and did a good job keeping up with his strict diet. 100/10. Will be rebooking soon.”


About: I have had pets since I was 5 years old and with my degree and career background in veterinary medicine, best believe your pets will be safe and taken care of while also being treated like family. I’m available after 2:30pm everyday and my days are completely open on the weekends. If I need to stop by in the early morning, I can as well. Pets will be loved on, walked, fed, and receive intimate quality time. I have two needy dogs myself so I completely understand the anxiety that can come with pets being alone so I will make sure to make them feel safe and provided for.
“Randy did an amazing job of watching my Suki. When I dropped her off he showed me around his house and yard, so I could see where she’d be living while I was away. His home is gorgeous with a really amazing backyard she can run around in. He sent me plenty of pictures and videos so I could see how she was doing. He really went above and beyond. He took her to the pet store and got her a new toy, took her to the dog park multiple times, even gave her a bath and got a special dog shampoo for her. I’ve used this app a lot and never had anyone do as much for my dog as he did. I couldn’t believe he’d been on the app so long and my dog was the first one he’d watched. I’d 10000% recommend Randy to watch your fur baby if you want the peace of mind of knowing they’ll be treated like family. I’d give him 10 stars if I could. ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ Thanks again Randy!”

“As a self-proclaimed helicopter dog mom, Bri was fantastic with my two girls (and their 6 bags of stuff I sent them with) for their first ever dog sitter experience. They were wagging their tails and had made themselves right at home in every picture and video I saw. Bri’s dog Bingo even got his first girlfriend: my dog Ella! After their 4 night stay, they came home exhausted and in such great spirits. I know the girls are looking forward to their next sleep over at Bri’s!”

About: Experienced Pet Enthusiast with a Passion for Pups Ready to Provide Top-notch Dog Sitting Care! My home is safe for our fur babies to play. I currently work from home 2-3 days each week. I’m also open on most weekends for boarding and sitting except on Sundays. Great schedule that will fit your needs. I have a fenced in yard with doggy doors that opens into the yard. I also have 2 dogs that love to play. Dogs can be separated or crated if needed.

“Porsha is fantastic! She has become my “go to” for pet sitting. I’ve requested her services 3 times now. My pups are always so happy when they see her. Porsha is dependable and so kind. I highly recommend her if you are looking to leave your pets with someone who will take great care of them in your absence.”

About: For as long as I can remember, there have always been pets in my life! Whether that was in my own home growing up, in a family member's home, at friends' houses, etc. I have often been the go-to person when it comes to caring for them when their owners are out of town. From walking, feeding, playing, administering medication, and more, I have absolutely loved getting to care for pets of all sizes and ages. As for my own pet experience, after moving to Birmingham in 2018 I applied to become a foster through Two by Two Rescue and began fostering (and quickly failed) with my sweet 13-year-old Pekingese, Max. He was truly the light of my life and we were the best of friends! He taught me a ton about how to care for senior dogs. Before his passing in 2021, I rescued my cat, Mews, and although she's a little hesitant around other pets she stays in her own space! At my own home, I do have stairs but have no issue helping any senior pups or dogs afraid of going upstairs feel comfortable. I used to have to carry Max all the time, haha. I'm also comfortable with pee pads as they used to be a staple in my apartment. I'm not particular about whether or not your pet is create trained and have no issue if they're not! As long as they'd be okay around my cat, I'm more than happy to let them roam around as they please. There are plenty of sidewalks around my apartment for walkies and we're close to a community park as well! Discussing my work schedule is something I do before my meet and greets just so we both have an understanding of expectations. However, my full-time job is a hybrid environment so I'm able to work remotely usually 2 days out of the week (Tuesdays and Thursdays) to care for your pet. On days I am in the office, I'm happy to run by your home during my lunch break if you're close to my office in Hoover. At my home, there is plenty of walking space to take your pup out and get some exercise. We can visit a local park near my house if that's something they'd enjoy. I'm also happy to crate your fur baby if needed.
About: I will take great care of your pup! I have a fenced in backyard and a safe neighborhood for walks, allowing your pup to have fun while she/he is missing you! I work from home, allowing me the flexibility to let your pup out for regular potty breaks and go on walks. I’m available for daily pet sitting or overnight pet sitting. We have a fenced in backyard and safe neighborhood for walks. My husband and I have a 4 year-old pup named Tag who loves other dogs— especially if they like to chase him! I can easily crate your dog if needed.

About: We have had pets our entire lives. I love dogs of all kinds, big or small. Our son is a great help with pets as well and absolutely adores them. It’s a team effort! We’ve had puppies in our home from 7 weeks old to senior dogs. Our dog, Leo, is very social and has not found a doggy friend he doesn’t like. Meet and greets are highly recommended because we have our dog in our home. We are happy to accommodate any dogs and their needs and have experience giving medications to pets. We do have a lot of stairs so our welcomed guests should be able to walk flights of stairs decently well. During the school year we both work full time but make getting home to our dogs first priority at the end of the day. My husband has job flexibility where he can work from home a few days a week. In the evening we love nothing more than to cuddle with the dogs on the couch and watch a good show. When the weather is nice we enjoy lots of walks in our neighborhood. Our dogs love the yard, it’s a chipmunk oasis. Our yard is fully fenced. We have a very dog friendly shepsky. Dogs can be crated, rest on the carpet, snooze on the couch, or sleep in bed with us- whatever they’re comfortable with.
“I have used Angelika several times in the past for care during the day, and I have had nothing but good experiences. I needed to board my pup for several days for the first time, so naturally, Angelika was my first choice. When I dropped off my pup, she became super excited as soon she saw Angelika. I knew right away, she was in good hands.”

About: I’ve loved and cared for animals my whole life! I’ve had pets of my own, fostered pets, and volunteered at an animal shelter for several years.

About: Having grown up with animals most my life…I pride myself in the ability to comfort and love your furry friend… Even from a distance. My special skills, are soft skills… Meaning that I work best with slow warm-ups for any anxious pets. But also, I’m ready for any high energy animals as well. I go to school, and work during the weekdays… But have a giant break in the middle of the day, for any pet care. Weekends work best for me. Making sure to adapt to whatever the pet owner, and pet need. Whether that means space, or extra attention… I can be that in-between person you request. I also pride myself on attention to detail… So will notice any change in behavior, or care necessary.
About: I have volunteered at my local humane society for about 3 or 4 years! I started after I brought in a puppy from the street and they loved that I loved a dog I’ve never even met so much to take her home and they signed me up for volunteer work! I love dogs so much I will always make time for them! Aghhh I can’t even put it into words how much I love dogs! I take great care of my pets! They all have had birthday parties as well as their own clothes for winter and things! I love all pets the same!
About: I’ve been around cats, dogs and horses since I was young. I’ve cared for a lifetime of dogs (newborn to senior). I’m always willing to listen to the behaviors of a pet for best care. I am a university student, who’s trying to make extra money through a passion of hers- caring for animals. I love all kinds of pets, dogs and cats to rabbits and ferrets. I am hoping to use any money made toward my last year of tuition at university! I also work two jobs part-time, and play rugby. Nonetheless I am very good with scheduling, and making time for important things like taking care of your pet (s). Mon., Wed., Fri, and weekends are typically my best days schedule wise since it’s the most open! I have experience with many behaviors of dogs, cats, small mammals and reptiles. I have no issues with crating as needed, correcting aggression behaviors, and general care. As mentioned, I cared for a range of small animals, so please feel comfortable having me care for pets of all kinds!

Ashtan & Josh have been wonderful! They took such good care of my baby girl. They kept me updated with pictures and always told me how she has been doing. My girl was happy, stayed healthy and safe. I highly recommend boarding or simply babysit your pup. Thank you again Ashtan & Josh, y’all are amazing!
