About: I've had dogs my entire life and I absolutely love them all the same. I currently care for two beautiful boys and would love to bring more into my life! I'm currently unemployed and focusing on dog sitting 6 days a week. I have a reliable car and full focus on your fur babies as needed! I have two leads in my yard that go pretty far, with shade and water. Dogs only outside for potty. Mostly inside with house all day.

“Jen was great with Farley and made us feel so comfortable leaving him with her. She sent pictures and videos to let us know how he was doing. I will for sure be using Jen in the future.”


3. Katelynn O.

“Wonderful house sitting experience for my dogs, one with separation anxiety. Thank you, Katelynn!”


4. Tatiana C.
“Tatiana is a very loving pet owner. She has one dog of her own and is always playing with him, taking him out, and taking silly photos of him. I have a deaf dog and a blind dog and whenever she comes over to see them they love her like no other. She helps my blind one around the house even though I reassure her that he’s okay she makes sure he gets where he needs. I would highly recommend her to take care of your pets. They will be in good hands.”


5. Tiffany G.

“Tiffany was great. She stepped in for me in a pinch and was very responsive. My dogs seemed to love her and I really appreciated her help.”


6. TerRicka B.
About: Though I don’t have formal experience, I genuinely love animals and spend a lot of my free time with my brother and sister-in-law’s dog—my “nephew-dog”—who I absolutely adore. Whether it’s going for walks, giving belly rubs, or just keeping him company, caring for him has been one of the highlights of my downtime. Hi! I’m a quiet, responsible grad student who loves animals and enjoys helping people. I’m currently offering house sitting and pet sitting services as a way to earn extra income while supporting those who need a trustworthy presence while they travel for work or vacation. I genuinely enjoy calm, peaceful environments and pride myself on being respectful of others’ spaces. While I may not have years of experience, I have a natural sense of care and attention to detail whether it’s making sure your pets are safe and happy, watering plants, or simply keeping your home in good order.

About: I have grown up with animals of all kinds! When I was born I had two dogs and a cat! I have taken care of pretty much all types of breeds! I love animals so much that I almost became a vet! I currently am a student at the University of Alabama, but am on winter break! During the break my schedule is pretty flexible. When I go back to school in January my school schedule is only super tight on Tuesday and Thursdays! I have a fenced in yard that my two dogs love to play in and run around!

“Whitney is great! She was a wonderful sitter and we always felt like Chester was well taken care of! We don’t leave him often but when we do, we’ll definitely use her again!”


11. Hannah Y.
“Hello! Hannah is my niece, she lived with us for a while and would help take care of our dogs and cats. She is so good with animals. She would take our dogs to the park, helped bathe them, and would even let the sleep with her at night. I really think they preferred her over everyone in the house lol. She is kind, compassionate, and just naturally has a care givers heart. She has helped us many times not only with our animals, but also my son (her little cousin). She is the first person I think of when it comes to our pups needing a sitter.”


12. Kayla M.
“I am pleased to write this letter of recommendation for Kayla Morrow as a reliable and compassionate pet sitter. Kayla possesses a deep, genuine love for all of God’s creatures, and her life is a testament to her dedication to animal care and respect for nature. Throughout the years, Kayla has cared for a wide variety of animals, including farm animals and exotic pets. She has raised goats, chickens, ducks, and even pheasants, demonstrating her ability to manage the diverse needs of different species. Her experience also extends to reptiles—she has owned geckos, an albino boa, a rattlesnake, a copperhead, and several other reptiles. This breadth of experience speaks volumes about her confidence, knowledge, and calm demeanor around animals of all kinds. Kayla’s compassion doesn’t end at her home. She’s the kind of person who will stop her car in the middle of the road to rescue a turtle or gently guide a snake to safety. Her respect for life, no matter how small or misunderstood, truly sets her apart. In short, Kayla Morrow is trustworthy, knowledgeable, and extraordinarily kind-hearted. Anyone entrusting their animals to her care can rest easy knowing they are in loving, capable hands.”

15. Jade M.

“Jade was an absolute sweetheart. Our sitter had to cancel late the night before and she was able to cover that next day. She answered very quickly and on short notice. She did everything I asked her to, and hope she enjoyed staying in our home for the few hours she did. I know our dog loved having the company.”

18. Emily C.
About: I have sat for whole farms, and single pet households. Peacocks, chickens, goats, dogs, cats, raccoons, fish, birds, and horses! Baths, meds, walks and, special needs! I am currently pet sitting full time, and I love playing with the dogs, cats, or whatever animal companions you may have! I also clean! I have a huge yard that I walk my dog in! And a peaceful neighborhood to walk her in, and I keep a bed for her in all hangout areas where we stay the most on the house.




19. Katherine S.
About: I've been a dog and cat lover ever since I can remember. When I was little I wanted to be a veterinarian, so when I was old enough I would volunteer at shelters and at the local veterinary clinic every chance I got. Family members and friends of my family would have me watch their dog or cat every now and then and I'd always go above and beyond for them! I'm currently not working so I will be home most of the time during the week. My 12 year old daughter is very active in taking care of our puppy, Lucie, so I'm certain she would be a helping hand in taking care of any other pets that come into our home for care. I have a huge fenced in yard with plenty of room for your pups to run some energy off in, decorated with more than a dozen toys, sticks and tennis balls to keep them occupied for hours on end. I am also experienced with kennels as well, but I do not currently have any at my house so that would have to be provided by you if that's what you prefer. I have lots of experience with animals that have separation anxiety, too. Also, I do have a female chestnut colored Labrador retriever who is just under a year old and still very much has that puppy mentality and is extremely energetic.
