“Ryan took great care of my girls over my extended weekend. He was very communicative and took great pictures and videos. They usually don't get along with other dogs, but they had no issues at all with Ryan's dogs. They had a great time playing and relaxing with everyone in the house. I am excited to have a trusted place to bring my pups when I have to go out of town!”

About: Growing up we always had multiple pets so I’ve taken care of them my entire life. My senior dog recently passed, so I have experience with older pets as well. I have lots of patience! I work full time Tues-Fri, but if it’s in the area I can likely do lunchtime visits as well. My schedule Sat-Mon is very flexible! I live in an apartment complex with a fenced in doggy park as well as easy access to walking trails. My apartment also has a camera in the living room so I can check in when I’m not at home. I enjoy being outside and taking long walks, just as much as I like to sit around and lounge!
About: I offer a calm, consistent presence that helps pets feel safe and relaxed while their people are away. I’m comfortable staying overnight and keeping your pet’s routine as normal as possible—whether that’s feeding schedules, medication, playtime, or just quiet company. I’ve stayed with pets of all ages, including seniors and those needing special care, and I treat each one like my own. What sets me apart is my attention to detail, genuine love for animals, and the extra time I spend making sure they feel loved, not just looked after. Pet care fits seamlessly into my weekly routine. I have a flexible schedule that allows me to check in on your pets every 2–3 hours during the week, and I’m fully available on weekends. Whether it’s walks, playtime, or just keeping your fur babies company, I’m happy to give them the love and attention they deserve. With years of experience and a sweet 4-year-old Labrador of my own, caring for animals is a natural and joyful part of my daily life. In my home, pets are treated like part of the family. I provide a safe, calm, and loving environment where they can relax and feel at home. I follow your pet’s routine as closely as possible—whether that’s feeding times, walks, play, or quiet time. I have a sweet, well-behaved Labrador who gets along great with other animals, and I always make sure any visiting pets feel comfortable and cared for. Clean spaces, regular potty breaks, and plenty of attention are all part of the care I provide.
“Laura is an exceptional pet sitter whose kindness and deep knowledge of dogs were evident from the moment we met. She provided daily updates and photos of my Golden Retriever, Jett, which gave me complete peace of mind while I was away. The level of care and attention she gave him truly went above and beyond. After experiencing the quality of care Laura provides, I honestly don’t want to trust Jett with anyone else. I highly recommend her to any pet parent looking for reliable, compassionate, and professional support. On a five-star scale, she’s easily a ten.”

“Karla did a great job with our two boys while we were out for a 5 night trip. She was very communicative and steady with photos and videos. Would definitely book with Karla again in the future!”

“Gracie and Camden were amazing with our pup that wasn’t quite used to being in an apartment. Their patience and love to her were felt. Communication was great and we received consistent updates!”

“Carolyn was amazing with our cat Chester! She sent pics, kept us updated, and Chester was calm and happy when we picked him up! Could not have asked for a better experience!”

“Katie is the best. My lil grand-pup enjoy staying at her house. She sends photo and video updates so you know your fur baby is receiving lots of love. I can’t imagine trusting anyone else with my llittle Baxy boy.”

“Ashley was very prompt and easygoing when dropping my fur baby off with her she went right to her with no hesitation! ☺️ something i look for and put me at ease. First time using service and was gone for week for daughters wedding and Ashley accommodated us in picking Honey up late the night before so we could rest n morning! She did great job and would use her again! ❤️❤️”

“Raegan was a wonderful fit for our timid little guy. They hit it off quickly, and understood each other well. We feel like we can actually trust that he's in good hands while we're away, and he truly just seems to enjoy his visits!”

“Deby was absolutely phenomenal. It was my first time using Rover, and she made me and my dogs feel like seasoned veterans. She went above and beyond fitting around my schedule, and I would recommend her to anyone and everyone.”

“Richard was very special and kind to Luka. He was attentive to him the whole time and sent videos and photos of Luka throughout the service. If you need someone to take care of your pet, Richard is the right person.”

“Louann and her husband took wonderful care of Vida!! I wish I was local, so that I could use them all the time! I can tell Vida enjoyed her time. 100% recommend. 10/10.”

“Carson was absolutely wonderful! This was Nala’s first time to stay away from home without me. Carson went above and beyond for my baby girl and Nala adjusted there beautifully. I will definitely be using her again the next time I need a sitter!”

“Kmya was awesome! Very responsive and kind. My cat had a good time and was safe. Kmya sent pictures of my Lil fur baby without being prompted. I'll definitely tell everyone about her!”

About: I’m a devoted animal lover who treats every animal like my own! Whether it’s long walks, playtime, or cuddles, I make sure your pet feels happy, safe, and loved while you’re away. Known for my reliability, patience, and big heart for furry friends, I bring positive energy and genuine care to every walk, visit or stay. I have 8 years of experience caring for pets of my friends and families…I’m open to all types of care weather it’s just a walk, need me to let them out, keep them at my place or I stay at yours! I work at UAB Hospital 3 days a week, even on days I work I can let them out before after and on my hour break! I will make any accommodations necessary for you and your animals! I live right by railroad park, so that area would be perfect for any animal to be walked in! I like by myself with no pets in my apartment.
