“She was very good with communicating to me how my dog was doing with daily activities and pictures. House was clean and tidy. Good care for my dog. Recommend using her!”

“I will absolutely book with Kyleigh again. My hard to impress 11yo, 85lb pup loved her, made my heart happy I didn’t have to stress over him while away. Our picky cat snuggled right up to her as well.”

“Saraelizabeth was so amazing! She was able to help us out short notice, our dog Indy LOVED her! Super responsive and gave us great updates. She left our place incredibly clean and tidy, way more she needed to! Would definitely have her dog sit for us again.”

“I could not have asked for a better person to watch my Millie girl! Millie is very shy and timid until she trusts someone and Sarah was so sweet and patient with her. Millie had so much fun with Sarah and I received updates several times a day along with photos and videos! Sarah is quite literally the BEST!!!”

“Activity we were completely comfortable with Jillian’s care for Sophie and Our Home. Daily updates and pictures were much appreciated. Highly recommend her for your Pet Sitting needs. She is the first on our list. Next time we travel.”


About: I have taken care of many pets. I have sitted and walked 15+ dogs for long terms as well as owning 2 dogs myself. I have had a golden retriever, a Rottweiler, and 2 morkies! I used to walk dogs for my neighborhood and surrounding areas before I moved to college, and I enjoyed it so much I would love to do it again! One of my favorite dogs (don’t tell anyone I said that 🤭) that I used to take of was a senior German Shepard in which I had to administer medicine to and go on slow walks with. Many of my other doggies were young puppies and teen dogs! I am a very kind person and it is my experience that many dogs understand that. I myself have a very reactive dog, which I have learned a lot from in terms of when to walk him or play with him! I am currently a nursing student with extra time on my hands. I am available mornings and evenings and even most afternoons! I am able to work around your schedule and fit it into mine! I am a very flexible person so I can accommodate almost anything! I walk most of my dogs who I have taken care of usually around 30 minutes to an hour. I live right next to a park which is convenient! I have cared for a senior dog and as well as any reactive and young dogs!
“Peter took care of our 5 yr old Husky Mix and 8 month old Labrador while we were out of town. This included house sitting. The pets got great care and play time and the house was well taken care of. Highly recommend! I hope he can pet sit for us in the future.”

“Katherine is a sweet, gentle soul who took great care of my dog, Charlie. I appreciated the daily check-ins and photos and that she enjoyed Charlie's goofyness. She took good care of the house, as well. I would not hesitate to ask Katherine to sit again.”

“Hannah did a great job with our senior dogs. My wife and I were away for 5 nights and received great communications and cute photos. One of the nights was the Fourth of July so Hannah had to give extra TLC during inevitable fireworks. She left the house in great shape, too. We could barely tell anyone had even been here! Would hire again for sure!”
“Michael was fantastic with our pups! We really appreciate how he made them feel super secure while we were out of town. Also loved that he sent pics every day and updated us on how they were doing. Don't hesitate to book with Michael!”

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!
About: Hi there! Please call me Timmy! I am a professional student and currently reside in the Highland Park community. I have watched over several of my friend’s four legged family members so much that I brought home my own three years ago. I successfully crate trained my pup in two weeks and she is now fully outdoor potty trained, and can do so on command. She is also voice trained and can walk freely without a leash. She trusts me just as much as I trust her. I say all of this to say that I am very patient, consistent and attentive to your pet’s needs, and will fully support any ongoing training that you may already have in place for your fur baby, plus snuggles and lots of hugs! My goal is to help you! As I mentioned before, I am a professional student and my schedule is flexible. I prefer Friday-Sunday, but can try to meet the client’s needs during the weekday/nights. I will continue whatever routine is already in place for your pet! I would love for your fur baby to interact with mine if they are able to, especially for house sitting but that can be discussed as needed.
About: I would love to walk/ hike with your pet, care for it at your home, or drop in to let them out. I have always loved animals ever since I was little. My first job was a pet sitting service, I was frequently asked to watch neighbors dogs, cats, bunnies, fish, etc. My friends often rely on me to take care of their animals while out of town and I have experience with older dogs as well as puppies. My dog passed away earlier this year and I won't be ready for anther dog anytime soon, but I would love to share love with your animals. I work seasonally and am currently off for my winter season. I would love to spend time with your animals either at your home or on walks/hikes! I can not watch pets in my own home but in my client's home I make sure to follow their rules and ask the important questions up front. I make sure to not leave pets alone too long and to be there for feeding times and to keep them company at night.
About: I walk my dog twice a day, take him to socialize with other dogs, and give plenty of open window car rides. I’ve trained him when he was young and I have also taken care of a wide range of animals of other ages from the animal clinic that I shadow at. I’m aware of animal social cues and am plentiful in patience with all furry friends! I am a full time student, so my schedules do vary from each semester. As of right now, Mondays and Wednesdays, I am free after 3 pm. On Fridays, I am free after 12 pm. On Tuesdays and Thursdays, I am free after 5 pm. These two specific days would be better for home drop-ins and late afternoon dog walks! With my dog at home, I always keep him in my sight not only for his sake but for my own comfort. I just love being around animals all the time. Whether I am doing school work or chores, I always keep them included.
“Margaret has sat for our two puppies several times and every time we come home to happy pups. She is professional and communicative. Already have her booked for our next trip.”
