About: I’ve been around animals my whole life growing up with dogs, cats, and even small animals gave me a strong foundation in compassionate and attentive pet care. Over the years, I’ve cared for pets through while others travel, where I stayed in people’s homes and looked after their animals like they were my own. I’ve also spent time fostering animals, helping them adjust to new environments and providing them with love and routine. Whether it's feeding, walking, playtime, or just companionship, I’m experienced and comfortable with pets of all sizes and temperaments from playful puppies to shy rescues Pets are naturally part of my daily life! I have two cats of my own and have fostered animals in the past, so caring for pets is already built into my routine. Whether it's feeding, cleaning, playing, or giving love and attention, I make time each day to ensure animals feel safe and happy. I'm home often, which allows me to give pets the consistent care and companionship they deserve throughout the day. In my home, pets are treated like family. I offer a calm, welcoming environment with a fully fenced backyard where dogs can safely explore or relax. We also have a peaceful pond area that many pets enjoy watching. I follow each pet’s routine closely whether it’s feeding, walks, playtime, or just quiet companionship. When caring for pets in a client’s home, I always aim to keep their routine consistent, give them comfort, and respect their space like it’s my own.

About: Hi! I’m Megan, a lifelong dog lover with a heart (and home) made for pups of all shapes and sizes. What sets me apart? I treat every dog like family — not just with walks and feedings, but with play, enrichment, and genuine love. Whether your pup is high-energy, shy, or a senior who needs extra TLC, I tailor care to their personality and routine. I’ve got experience with everything from belly rubs to administering meds, and I keep you updated with daily photos and pup-dates so you never miss a tail wag. If you want someone who shows up with treats, toys, and tons of love — I’m your person. 🐕💛 I’ve worked with animals for years from rescuing dogs as a girl to the Birmingham Zoo! I currently work at Wags and Whiskers right here in Dothan! I recently left my 9-to-5 to focus full-time on something I truly love — caring for dogs! That means your pup will get my full attention, flexible scheduling, and lots of love throughout the day. Whether it’s long walks, playtime, or just keeping them company, I’m here to make sure they feel safe, happy, and loved while you’re away. I offer in-home pet sitting with plenty of snuggles, playtime, and a calm, stress-free environment. Since leaving my 9-to-5, I’m home full-time — meaning your pup gets round-the-clock attention, companionship, and care. My home is safe, clean, and set up for comfort — whether your dog loves lounging on the couch, playing in the yard, or enjoying quiet time. I follow your pup’s routine closely, offer updates with photos and videos, and make sure they feel secure and loved every step of the way. Think of it as a mini-vacation for your pet — with all the comforts of home, and a sitter who truly cares. 🐶💛

About: While in high school and for a few years after I worked as a veterinarian assistant/technician (non-certified). I currently volunteer with a shelter. I am well versed in senior dog care as well as pets with medical issues, including an e-tube. I no longer have pets of my own at this time, as my 2 best girls have recently crossed the Rainbow Bridge.

I do work full-time, 6AM - 3PM, Monday through Friday, however, I work remotely and as long as you have Internet access I am available in your pet's home 24/7.

Since I work remotely, I can take your pet outside for a 15-minute break every hour between 6 a.m. and 3 p.m. Additionally, outside of those hours, I’m available to let your pet enjoy the outdoors as much as they’d like, for as long as they want! I also love walks on nice days and would be thrilled to take your furry friend along with me.

“This was our first time letting someone watch our Lucy other than family and we were very nervous initially. When we met Jeannine our anxiety disappeared. We knew our baby would be very well taken care of while we were gone. She was wonderful! It was obvious she had a sincere love for all animals. She played with Lucy and took her for walks. We got several pictures and videos of Lucy having fun. We will definately be using Jeannine from now on!”
