About: With over 10 years of trusted pet care experience, I provide loving, reliable, and knowledgeable support tailored to every pet’s unique needs and personality. In addition I have 6 years experience in childcare and I understand for most our pets are our children. They’re our family. I have had a wide range of pets from large breed dogs, cats, reptiles, bunnies, and fish. I am home full time as I will soon be a stay at home mom next August. The only thing on my schedule is church Sunday morning at 11am. My availability is completely open. I care for pets either in my home or my clients home whichever they prefer. I have a friendly cat and dog at home but they have their own spaces to go to so if your pet is not pet friendly, No worries! I am prepared to follow any directions given to make sure your pet is cared for the way you like, you know them better than anyone!

“Frankie did a fantastic job with my 12-year-old American bobtail cat during my absence, especially on short notice. The drop-in visits were excellent in every way. I enjoyed reading Frankie’s updates, which showed creativity, thoughtfulness and caring. I didn’t have an opportunity to meet Frankie, but the vibe was a genuinely caring and wonderful soul. Buddy and I are highly satisfied with the care received, and, well, we just love Frankie. I will definitely try to book with Frankie in the future. Absolute trust. Thank you so much, from Buddy and me”

About: Growing up we always had dogs in our family. My Experience in pet care is from having my own pets and caring for friends and families. I love animals and have over a decade of experience in caring for dogs, cats, horses, mules, donkey's and pigs. Now I just have my two dogs but the are like our family. I have 5 years experience caring for elderly dog (my own) that needed special care and medications. I am currently not working any other jobs at this time and will have plenty of time to spend with you sweet fur baby or babies. I have a fenced in back yard with 2 of my own fur babies. I love spending time with them in the back yard, going for walks and playing fetch. I live close to a nature trail with a lake and love to take the dogs for walks there. We love that outside time. Inside I have room to play with toys and chill with your buddies.

“Mary was so great to work with! I could tell that my cat Lolo loved her visits and I felt totally comfortable leaving him in her care. She went above and beyond taking care of our home, too. Lolo is lucky to have her as a new friend!”

About: I have been around animals all my life. From small reptiles to emus and llamas. Dogs cats and more. Love being around animals and spoiling them. I work full time and just wanting to keep myself busy. I like animals and this could be a fun way to keep myself busy by helping take care of your pets. My cats are inside only. They dont go outside. I had dogs a few years ago but they passed from old age. They were farm dogs and retired in a smaller yard that was fenced in. They were my best friends. Just like all the animals i have had in my life.

About: I’ve loved animals my entire life, and have cared for my own array of pets including dogs and reptiles. I currently work at a veterinary hospital, and I am a student pursuing a career in veterinary medicine. I care for both cats and dogs of all demeanor and personality. I’m a university student and I work at a veterinary hospital, so I structure my schedule around what’s available from those responsibilities, but it remains flexible on a week to week basis. I can ensure that your pets will be cared for in detail, and treated with the same love and care that their parents give them on a daily basis.

About: I have had pets my whole life, and I have gained experience in caring for pets as I have gotten older. I have experience in feeding and walks. I am home from college for the summer, so this works well with my schedule as long as I am not out of town, which will be put in my schedule. I strive to ensure that the pets I take care of feel safe and comfortable with me as their caregiver. Making them feel safe in their environment helps their nerves.

About: Hello! My name is Geneviève(“G”)- cat and dog mom to Pita, Vinny, and Lucy! I've been in Los Angeles for a decade working as a musician and exploring. I recently moved to AL! I love hiking, working out, crocheting, and hanging with family. I have a special way with shy temperaments and have experience with all sorts of dogs, from teacup Poms, to Huskies and Great Danes. I look forward to hanging out with your fur babies! ¨̮ I work evenings wed-Sunday so mornings afternoons work well for me or if it's house sitting I will be there most the day and gone for 6-7 hrs I want to become best friends with every animal I meet. I want your pet to feel comfortable while you're not there with them, and also want you to know they will get the best care and you can enjoy your trip away without worrying. Every animal I meet is different and has different needs (affection/play/space) I make sure to give each one I spend time with what they need.

“Elizabeth is so great! This is the second time she’s taken care of my baby and I will definitely book her again next time I’m out of time. She gives me lots of pictures and detailed feedback on how Kitsune is doing each day, plus info about the house. For example, this time my toilet stopped up. Not only did Elizabeth tell me about it but she also plunged the toilet for me! Kitsune is very comfortable with her. It’s nice to come home to a calm, purring cat who’s happy to see me instead of one who’s stressed and hiding under the bed.”
