Pet Sitting in Bessemer

“She was very sweet and communicative. I love the detail in which she wrote her notes. My dog is very precious to me and it means a lot to have someone taken care of her who truly cared about her.”

“Jaci was so attentive and sweet with my 3 dogs and kept me very up to date about each visit. I definitely will be looking to her in the future!”

“Krystal was a true blessing for our family. We had a European vacation planned, and our longtime pet sitter unexpectedly fell ill and could not come - days before our trip! Krystal stepped in, last minute was no problem for her. She also happily took on the monster job of caring for our nine rescue cats for over a week. She did a perfect job of it, too. The daily report cards with pictures were amazing. It gave us such peace of mind to know that our fur babies were in such good hands. She took such extraordinary care of them and paid attention to every detail. We came home to very happy cats! I will not hesitate to book Krystal again for future trips and wholeheartedly recommend her as a pet sitter. She is the best!”

About: I have many years of experience taking care of various types of animals. However, dogs are my favorite! I am currently a fourth year veterinary (DVM) student at WesternU. I have experience administering medications, subcutaneous fluids, and giving lots of love to pets in my care. I have open availability on both weekdays and weekends for drop-ins/walks, stay-ins and sometimes boarding. I am out of school this summer and happy to take care of your fur babies I have a 2 year old Golden retriever who is the sweetest girl ever and will keep your baby company. I go for moderate to long walks at the railroad park in the mornings and my house has a fenced in yard that is perfect for play time.

“Very fast communication. Took good care of my babies while I was out of town. Booked her the day of & she came that night. Will definitely use again!”

“Sara responded quickly to my messages and my same day request to check on my dog. She helped me with the mess my dog had made chewing up a floor mat. Sara messaged me to tell me what happened and I was able to get her help with everything that day. I’m so appreciative that she was able to help me out that day.”

About: I can't remember a time in my life I did not have my own pets. I have taken care of my own pets all of my life and am a lifelong animal caregiver. I have experience as a foster mom for an animal rescue as well and I enjoyed taking care of so many different babies and helping them find their forever homes. I have always had both cat and dog companions and have advocated and helped friends and family with their pets as well. I currently have a senior dog, a senior cat, who have both been with me for over 13 years, three cats who are two years old and a leopard gecko! I would love to meet you and help with your pet care needs! I'm currently available part-time, on Monday- Friday from 9:00 am- 1:30 pm. I would be happy to work around your schedule as much as possible! I have a fenced in yard and pets of my own. I understand each pet has their own personality and needs tailored to them. I will be an active listener and always treat and care for your pets according to your wishes!

“Tracie is great! She was amazing with our fur babies. We have one who can be a little anxious with new people and she took the best care of them while we were away! Can’t thank her enough!”

“I don’t trust many people with my furkids, but Erik is GREAT with my dogs! I don’t worry when I know he’s looking after them. He’s attentive and very interactive…they love him. Erik is very friendly, responsive and communicative—he’s my ‘go-to’ Rover and I highly recommend him.”
