About: I have had dogs my entire life, starting to seriously take care of my first dog when I was 10. I’ve worked at several animal related jobs, such as a dog daycare, a pet store, and I worked on a farm for several months in 2021. I have petsit for neighbors and friends for years. I have experience with dogs of all ages, sizes, breeds, and temperaments. I love dogs deeply and know how to work well with them. In addition to dogs, I have lots of experience with cats, rodents, reptiles, fish, birds, and I can take care of your plants while you’re away too! I’m currently a part-time student at UAB and I work part-time at Breakout Birmingham. My schedule is relatively flexible as long as I have enough notice to make any adjustments or accommodations! I have my own car and am more than willing to make multiple trips a day. I have lots of housesitting experience and will respect your space and do anything else you need taken care of while you’re gone. I will take care or your pets wherever they’re most comfortable and make sure they have fun and feel safe.
About: As a lifelong animal lover and experienced pet sitter, I have been caring for a wide range of furry friends since I was 12 years old. From dogs of all shapes and sizes to cats, birds, hamsters, and even fish, I have a proven track record of providing reliable, trustworthy, and loving care. With a business background in pet sitting and a deep passion for animals, you can trust me to give your pets the attention and care they deserve. Whether you're away on vacation, at work, or just need someone to check in on your pets while you're out, I'm here to help! I am currently a teacher. so I have full availability in the late afternoons, evenings, and nights and on the weekends and during all of the holiday breaks. I care for pets in my home by providing a clean environment, which means making sure that everything is safe and put away. I also guarantee that there are plenty of toys to play with, and that we dedicate a lot of time to playing, and being loved on.
About: I'd love to care for your pet! While here, they will have access to their own room (away from my personal pets), which they will stay in overnight and any time I am out of the house. Otherwise, they can hang out with my pets as much (or as little) as they want - always with my supervision. My own dog is shy and nervous, so I am happy to accommodate your dog's particular needs if they also are nervous with new people. I am at home all day, other than stepping out to run errands/socialize. I can provide potty breaks as often as you'd like and build your pet's schedule into my day/week. I can do drop-in visits and walks any time of day and play with your pet as long as you'd like. I have a small, fenced in yard (but your pet will always be supervised outside). I have a 31 pound female dog who is good with cats and small dogs. I also have a cat, who mostly keeps to himself. Our neighborhood is quiet and safe, with sidewalks on all streets. While here, your pet will have access at all times to their own private room (normal bedroom with windows) if they want to have their own space away from my pets, or if I am not at home to supervise them.
“Hannah was very sweet and everyone seemed happy when I got home! Her report of my doggo peeing repeatedly let us know a UTI was brewing and we were able to get vet care sooner. And she was very patient with having to clean up multiple puddles of pee that we above and beyond a normal dog walking duty!”

I always follow the owner’s instructions, including feeding schedules and any medical routines like giving medication. I spend quality time with the pets by playing with them, grooming them, and giving them attention so they feel loved and comfortable. I also pay close attention to their behavior and watch for any signs of stress or illness, and I communicate any concerns right away. Most importantly, I treat every pet with kindness and respect, just like I would with my own.

About: I truly enjoy creating a calm, loving environment where your animals feel at home. I know how important it is to trust someone with your furry family member, and I treat every pet I care for like one of my own:) Currently a third year medical student at UABHSOM who is always looking for a furry friend to be around and take study breaks with! I love incorporating walks, playtime, and rest into my daily routine with the pets I take care of. When caring for pets in a client’s home, I am to maintain their normal routine as closely as possible! I want to take the time to learn yours and your pet’s preferences and give them the care they deserve while keeping your life stress free!
About: I have had dogs (big and small) ever since I was a child! I love taking them on walks, playing with them with toys, and making sure they are happy! I love pets and being outside which makes the perfect combination for an energetic dog, however, I also love lounging with my animals and can promise comfortable care for older/calmer dogs! I have a very open schedule and can fit everything from house/dog sitting as well as quick check ins or dog walkings into my days. I am an early riser and can do anything from early mornings to late nights. I live in an apartment, so I can take care of your pet in my home, however, they might prefer your home. I have house sat many times before which clients enjoy when they are away. I can crate dogs (this is what my family chooses) but I can also make sure they are comfortable outside a crate if that is what you prefer!
“Meredith helped me have peace of mind today by agreeing to stay with my sick pup while I had to go to work. She kept me up to date with how she was and even went out of her way to pick up medication from the vet, administer meds, and feed my pup. She also took care of my other two dogs' potty and loving needs while there. I'm so thankful!”
About: Hi, my name is Kyla! I am currently a Wildlife Biology major who loves animals of all kinds! I'm experienced with both large and small dogs, as well as cats.

I'm very flexible and will try my best to work with your busy schedule. Don't hesitate to reach out for any additional needs such as putting food out, giving treats, or refilling water bowls. I understand that animals can get anxious when their hoomans are away and I will be sure to make sure they feel safe and as calm as can be. I'm thrilled to get to know your best friend and go above and beyond in any way that I can. I am currently on summer break, so I'll have plenty of time to play with your fur babies! I am available all day on Tuesday-Friday and on some weekends! I am in an apartment with a cat of my own, I do not offer boarding or doggy daycare.

About: I’ve had dogs throughout my life and currently have three of my own! I often watch my family and friends’ pets when they go on vacation or out of town! I don’t mind walking, playing, bathing, or giving your fur babies all the attention they need/want! I work full time M-F 8-4:30. On days I work, I can guarantee that your dog(s) go out right before I leave for work and right when I get home and right before bed. On days I don’t work I will make sure your dog goes out every atleast 3 hours with plenty of play time. At my home, I currently have 6 dogs of my own that are crate trained so if your dog(s) aren’t too fond of other dogs I can keep them separated. I prefer pets to be crate trained so if I have to leave the house they can be put up to ensure they don’t get into anything but it’s not a deal breaker if they aren’t. I can feed, water, and give medicine if need be based on your pets needs.
