“Sarah was so great with my 3 dogs and 1 cat, got all their feedings right, let them sleep with her (I think it stormed that night), and even left a gallery of Polaroids of all of them. Also, we like the same books so we can swap.Bonus!”
2. Rachel W.
“Rachel was great! She was attentive to Buddy's needs and he loves her. Lots of walks and cuddles. I highly recommend her and we'll be hiring her again.”
3. Robin H.
“Robin came prepared at our meet and greet and was great with our three dogs. We were gone with limited internet access and both felt that our pups were well cared for. She sent frequent photos that showed us that everyone was happy at home. Our house was cleaner than we left it upon returning. We will use her again!”
4. Peter M.
“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.”

16. Charlotte T.
“Charlotte has been a lifesaver with our two pups. There’s Samson, a mischievous 3-year-old Golden who seems to think every stick and squirrel is his personal plaything, and Walen, our 5-year-old Dachshund mix with an impressive talent for escaping her harness. Both have boundless energy and are troublemakers but Charlotte knows just how to keep them entertained. We couldn’t ask for a more patient and skilled person to wrangle these two rascals! She is always on time, reliable, and a joy to work with.”
17. Sydney B.
“Sydney watched our two dogs over the long weekend and she did a wonderful job! I always know that she will follow through on whatever care instructions I leave for her. She always provides detailed updates and pictures of our boys. It’s so nice to know that our pups are being loved and well cared for while we are away. She also left our house so tidy! We’re so relieved to have found someone responsible and reliable to care for them.”
18. Carla Joy S.
“Joy took fantastic care of our two german shepherds and house, and gave us great updates throughout our trip. It was wonderful not having to worry about our pups while out of town, knowing they were being well taken care of!”
19. Faith H.
“Faith was amazing with Baylee!”
20. Lynn N.
About: Growing up in the country, I was constantly surrounded by animals in all phases and stages of life. Watching animals grow and flourish is one of my favorite things in the world. I take in all animals like they're my own, which is saying a lot considering Sunny, my chocolate lab, Sunny, and long-haired crazy ginger kitty, Sushi, live lives of luxury as long as I have a say in it! I work Monday-Friday 9-4:30 in Hoover, so I'm available for morning drop-ins anywhere from Forest Park to Hoover and wherever for evening and weekend drop-ins and housesitting. My dog, Sunny, gets along with every pup she meets. Same with my goofy cat, Sushi, so I'm happy to bring them along or board at my house if needed!
