“Adrianna was prompt, professional, attentive and overall WONDERFUL. She was focused and detailed on her task, while at the same time being personable with our Cesar. He was excited to see her daily and awaiting her services. Will definitely utilize her services again and again”
About: I grew up with a cat of 14 years and later my family adopted a husky which stole our hearts! Since, I have cared for not only my sisters set of 2 beautiful golden retrievers since they were brought home but other dogs of clients and I currently live with a cat! I am currently a 4th year medical student at UAB. My clinical rotation schedule currently is extremely light for the month of February I after 12 PM. And through March April in the first half of May, I am pretty much fully free. Under my care, pets will be brought outside for a potty breaks or a walk only on a safe leash. No dogs will be brought anywhere near roads or construction where they could get injured.
“Cody did a great job of taking care of my 3 pups! Very responsible and thoughtful. Great communication. Shared pics and tidbits that let me know my dogs were very comfortable and themselves with him. Will definitely want Cody to watch them in the future.”
“Gage is so great with my pups. I feel so comfortable when I go out of town because of the peace of mind I have knowing they are in good hands. Appreciate his availability last minute this last time I needed him! I wish to use him everytime I go out of town if he is available! Can't say enough good things about him!”
“Piper did a great job of taking care of my kitties & keeping my plants alive while my husband and I went out of town. Very informative & super sweet! We look forward to using her again!”
“Jillian was great with my three skittish cats. She managed to get all of them to warm up to her on her first visit. You can trust that your pets are in good hands with Jillian watching them. I highly recommend her!”
About: I have owned and cared for several dogs over the years, including my current Maltipoo. I’m experienced with daily care routines like feeding, walking, potty training, and providing attentive, loving companionship. My weekly schedule varies, but it’s very flexible, allowing me to accommodate your pet’s routine. I prioritize attentive, one-on-one care and can fully meet your pet’s needs without distractions I have a fenced-in yard that allows for safe, outdoor play time. I also live in a very walkable area so plenty of exercise can be achieved if needed. I have my own male maltipoo who loves to meet and play with other animals as well. Specific care routines will be attended to per request.
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.
“Morgan was great and I will most definitely be booking her again the next time I am in need! She sent detailed updates and lots of photos showing my dog always looking so happy and cared for.”
“Shelby was great! She sent me nightly photos and videos of my little dude while I was on vacation. I would absolutely ask her to watch my cat again! Great experience!”
About: I have taken care of dogs as well as other pets for as long as I can remember. From walking dogs, to feeding mice I have done it all. I have had lots of dogs at my house before because of family events or people we know that have asked our family to take care of their dogs for them while they're gone. I really can do it all when it comes to pets. I can handle big dogs too since I'd say I am a bigger and stronger dude. I am currently a student at UAB and don't have classes on a few days and am available as of now. The weekends work great for me to pet sit, walk, feed, or do any other tasks for people's dogs as well. I take care of pets with extreme care as if they were my own. I always make sure my pets at home are well fed, taken care of, and overall just happy! I have lots of experience with pets and like I have said above I can do it all!
“Cam is the best. She has consistently gone above and beyond for our kitties. The updates she provides are thoughtful and make our trip even better. Highly recommend her to anyone needing a pet sitter.”
About: I look forward to spending time with every animal that I care for! Ever since losing my own dog in 2020, nothing brings me more joy than being able to care for and love on others' pets! I love going for walks or just sitting and spending quality time with pets. I am a college student so my schedule tends to fluctuate! However, I usually have availability that those with other jobs may not! I tend to do lunch time visits or overnight visits for pet care. I am open to any and all of your pet care needs! I care for pets as if they were my own. If I stay at someone's house, I abide by their household rules and make sure to keep their pets on schedule. Pets are my priority!
About: I’m happy to take your furry friend on a long walk, administer medications, cuddle, and play! I’m glad to reinforce commands and learning they may be trying to establish. I have plenty of availability and flexibility to cater to your doggo! I work from home full-time and am a morning person, so I’m available bright and early for walks, drop-ins, or snuggles. My flexible schedule means your pet will get plenty of attention, care, and consistency throughout the day! While I do not currently offer services from my home, I am very considerate and cautious with my clients' homes! I will respect and ensure that I leave them better than I found them!
About: Hi there! I've grown up with dogs, cats, birds, and rabbits my whole life, and I love taking care of fur babies. I have had my own little best friend for the past 3 years, and we are opening our home for others! I have a very flexible schedule, am an avid walker, keen on pet safety, and very loving! I am currently a pre-medical student at UAB and am hoping to supplement my income by taking care of your babies - a win-win! I have previous corporate professional experience, babysitting experience, hospital experience, and waitressing experience! I'm a well-rounded and responsible pet sitter, and I look forward to meeting your special friends! I work part-time from 9-1 as a clinical researcher and then 2-4 as a babysitter each weekday. I live 5 minutes from work and can always pop home to let your baby out. They will never be alone for more than 5 hours. When I'm gone, my friendly dachshund Frank will keep them company! I am adamant about pet safety. Having a dachshund has made me very wary of smaller dog injuries, so if you have a smaller dog, I am well-versed in making sure they're having safe fun! I have an unfenced park 1 minute from my house, and I am always happy to take the dogs to a fenced dog park so they can run around.
About: I’ve been around and loved dogs quite literally all 27 years of my life. From a teacup Chihuahua to a Rottweiler/German Shepherd mix, I have owned and loved dogs of all shapes and sizes. I truly believe they are man’s best friend and should be treated as such! My living situation does not allow for pets at this time, so I am happy to interact with pets as much as I can. I’m currently working full time in church ministry, which allows much flexibility during the week days. I am fairly open on all days of the week except for Tuesdays. I also am happy to dog sit in the client’s home on weekends and during the week as needed. For all services, whether walks or overnight stays, I would be happy to provide the client with as many updates as they would like throughout the service, as well as send picture updates! I am happy to do whatever makes the client feel most at ease and comfortable.
“Sass did an excellent job taking care of our 2 cats! She was able to get 3 meds into our cat with her creative food mixtures! We recommend her highly and will use her again!”
About: i have 5 years of dog grooming experience, 3 years veterinary technician experience, and 2 years kennel technician experience. I have worked with pets off all support needs: senior, special needs, nervous, aggressive, puppies, all kinds! I have had extremely hands on experience working in vets offices and seen any and everything! I can administer medications of all types (including injections). I have experience with dogs who have potty issues or need to use pee pads. Seriously I've seen it all. Pet sitting is my full-time job! My entire schedule revolves around these furry babies. I basically devote all my days to taking care of pups! I'm home 24/7 while your pet is there unless im out checking on other pets. Every single doorway in my home is dog gated. I have a gate blocking off my front door and I have a fully fenced in backyard. They will never have direct access to any exit of the home. I have cameras in everyroom a pet would be in. I'm never gone for more than about an hour MAYBE two hours if im checking on another pet :) I never feed any pets in view of each other or in the same room. I only allow group play if you are okay with them being around others. I have full view of all dogs at all times.

Kyle was amazing! Last minute my sitter cancelled on me and I had no one to help me. I reached out to Kyle and he was so flexible and took care of my Bella girl. He walked her, fed her, and administered meds with no problem at all. Would totally have Kyle take care of Bella again!
Katharine has been my saving grace since getting my Benny boy. Her love and care for my puppy doesn’t go unnoticed. She is the most reliable help I have found so far, and I plan to keep her around for as long as she will let me. My Benny loves her and so do I! Thank you Katharine for all you do for us, and I absolutely recommend using her for your doggy needs! ❤️
Kadence was amazing! I booked very last minute, and she responded quickly, and was very flexible. I have never left my dog with anyone she doesn't know, but I immediately felt comfortable with Kadence. She gave me updates while I was away, and I will absolutely see if she is available the next time I need someone to stay with my dog. She is so sweet...I couldn't recommend her enough!
Meredith was wonderful! We traveled from Iowa and feel very fortunate she was available. She provided a thoughtful update after each visit, including pictures, which gave us great peace of mind. She is kind, attentive, and truly caring—our dogs absolutely loved her. I highly recommend her!
Grace was such a great sitter/friend to my Benji especially with such short notice! She was such a great communicator and she was very responsive and receptive to my instructions. She sent photos from her visits and engaged well with Benj! I would highly recommend recommend her to care for any of your furry kiddos! ❤️
Adrianna was prompt, professional, attentive and overall WONDERFUL. She was focused and detailed on her task, while at the same time being personable with our Cesar. He was excited to see her daily and awaiting her services. Will definitely utilize her services again and again
