About: Hello neighbors and strangers, my name is Devin; but, you can call me Devo! I love animals, especially the kind, soft-furred, emotionally supporting ones. You can trust that I will not mistreat any animal in my care and protect them with my life. I live in the SW side of Decatur, AL. We have a decent fenced in back yard where your pets can run, jump, and have all the exploring adventure that they desire. I am currently not a pet owner but my roommate has a small dog. He's kind to children and if he meets another dog properly . Thinks he's bigger than he is. I have experience caring for cats, and lizards as well. I have worked with many animals and am comfortable grooming, walking, feeding, playing with and caring for pets. Working for myself currently so I have a pretty flexible schedule. Please feel free to contact me to discuss my services. It is fenced in back yard where the pets can run around and play. Clean house ... Really don't allow dogs on the furniture or in my personal room . I can play with your pet and give the necessary attention. I am available for whatever your needs are, rather it be short term or long term, cold or hot I am the man with the plan to care for your dog. Well I live in a nice, beautiful, quiet neighborhood where its normal to see a bunch of pet owners, so Rover fits right in. I work for myself and am a on call handyman and lawn service provider. I'm usually close to house all day with frequent check ins. Within a every 4 hour period. I am easy going with animals. I may have to hug an pet to show support, may have to conversate with them, play tag, tug of war.

About: I have owned pets all my life! I grew up on a working farm with cows, pigs, horses, dogs and cats. I pet sit for neighbors and friends all the time. I am a home based baker of wedding cakes and specialty desserts along with pet treats. I have a good bit of available time between projects. I have a fenced in yard with a pet door. My animals are allowed to go out as often as needed. I am at home the majority of the day and evenings.
About: I’m deeply empathetic, detail-oriented, and have years of experience in caregiving—which makes me especially attuned to the needs of pets who need a little extra love, patience, or routine. I’m not just a sitter or a walker; I care for your pets like they’re part of my family. I have a soft spot for senior dogs and anxious pups, and I genuinely love creating a calm, comforting environment that helps them feel safe and happy while you’re away. Pet care fits naturally into my routine because I have a flexible schedule and enjoy spending time with animals as part of my day. Whether it’s a midday walk, a morning or evening drop-in, or helping out while you're at work or away, I’m reliable, attentive, and happy to show up when your pet needs care and company. It’s a meaningful way for me to stay active and connect with animals—something I genuinely enjoy. I treat every client’s home with the same respect I would want for my own. I follow all instructions carefully, stick to your pet’s routine, and double-check that doors, gates, and crates are secure before I leave. I’m very mindful of creating a calm, safe environment—especially for pets who are shy, anxious, or need a little extra reassurance. Building trust is important to me, so I always communicate clearly, provide updates, and do my best to make sure both you and your pet feel comfortable while you’re apart.
About: What sets us apart from other sitters? Our genuine love for all animals and firsthand experience as pet owners! As proud parents to a 7-year-old cat who adores cuddles and chasing her fishing pole toy, and a playful 1-year-old Golden Retriever who thrives on walks and canine companionship, we understand the unique needs of both cats and dogs.

That's exactly what we aim to provide while you're away, whether for a vacation or just a day out. For dogs, we offer: Personalized walks Engaging play sessions (fetch, tug-of-war, you name it!) Whatever activities your pup enjoys most For cats, we provide: Stimulating entertainment with Cat TV Interactive play using our special fishing pole toy Enrichment activities tailored to your cat's preferences Gentle petting and affection for less active cats Meticulous litter box maintenance Our goal is simple: to care for your pets as if they were our own, ensuring they're happy, healthy, and thoroughly pampered in your absence. Let us give your beloved companions the love and attention they deserve! I work part time from home and in the office. I work from home on Tuesdays, Thursdays and Fridays. I would love for your pet to come join me or check in on your pet and take them on a walk or a potty break while you are gone during the day. I have a fenced in back yard for your dog to play with my super friendly dog. If your animal does not like cats or dogs a stay at my house may not be the right fit. But I can still do drop ins at your home.

About: Hello, my name is Micah Sheppard. Pictured above is my wife, Devin. I’m 26 years old and a Marine Corps veteran. Ive been around animals all my life. From personal pets(dogs, cats, fish, etc.) to looking after and caring for other’s pets. I have some experience in training dogs in basic commands. I used to help train/look after k-9 German Shepherds for my dad’s police department during my high school years. Im currently unemployed so my pet care availability will literally be any day and anytime you need a sitter, someone to check in on your babies, or someone to just take them on a walk and get some well needed exercise. I currently don’t offer care at my home but have no problem caring for your pet/pets at your home or any other location needed. I will have a list of available animal hospitals that are closest in need of an emergency if one was to arise. I would quickly but safely rush to the nearest hospital to get them the care they need before contacting the owner first. Emergency care comes first before notifying owners.
