1. Jade E.

“Jade did a great job! This is the first time that my wife and I, had a cat/house sitter and we were very fortunate to have found Jade. She was excellent. The kiddies loved her and warmed up to her very quickly. She kept the house clean and abided by our rules during her stay. She sent us pictures of our babies, while we were gone, and kept us informed of what was happening everyday. I feel that she is very trustworthy and I would recommend her to anyone looking for a sitter. We plan on using her again.”


2. Jamie R.

“Having Jamie care for my precious baby eases any concerns I have for my baby's welfare. This is the second request that Jamie's accepted and I could not be more pleased. Jamie checked in with me daily with updates and photos. When a concern arose, Jamie let me know right away. All was well in the end. Jamie handled the situation as I have done numerous times! Thank you so much, Jamie.”


3. Alora R.

“Alora went above and beyond. My girlfriend constantly communicated and requested Alora to do new things. Alora responded in a timely manner and didn’t disappoint. She informed us of what she was doing when she did it and kept our anxiety down. After vacation, we returned to a home with nothing out of place or any property damaged. 10 out of 10 would recommend!!”

9. Dustin S.
About: I’ve always love animals, I’m very patient, high tolerance to hyper active pets, always concern about their foods, health, and mood. My love is genuine to them. I myself has own 9 cats and 4 dogs (in past and present) I care about their well being and has learn their actions. I’m currently not in school and been actively looking for other job too, I am planning to make pet sitting a side hustle job to earn more and help people who need help watching their pets. It will depends on what kind of pets, behavior, and house/apt space, etc. I will do my very best to accommodate your wants with your pets.


10. Sydney S.
About: I’ve had dogs my whole life & have loved taking them walking. I understand that dogs can’t go all day without being let out, so I want offer my services for walks or potty breaks. I don’t like leaving my dog all the time by herself, so I want others to have a safe space for their animals as well. Dogs get lonely too! During the week early morning or evening and weekends any time! Fridays-Sundays are flexible for me as long as we communicate your needs to make sure I can fit them. I have a 4 year old Weimaraner. She enjoys sleeping on the couch during the day and chasing her ball and going on long walks at night. She gets plenty of treats & love because she’s our fur baby

13. Brenli T.
“Brenli is amazing with animals! She always makes sure the animal she’s caring for comes first. The dogs she’s taken care of in the past, including mine always love having her as a pet sitter. She loves on my baby like she is her own! I cannot think of anyone better.”

15. Jill A.

“Jill was outstanding! We received several pictures and updates on how things were going during our absence. All of our babies (one dog and three cats) were well taken care of and happy. Our home was spotless upon our return and she even checked in to make sure everything was left ok. Not once did we have to worry or be concerned about anything while we were gone. We highly recommend Jill - she'll do a fantastic job pet/house sitting for you. We definitely plan on using her again the next chance we have!”


16. Madison B.
About: Hi! My name's Madison, and I've been taking care of and loving animals for well over a decade. I've helped raise 3 litters of puppies, worked at an animal rescue for 3 years, and shadowed a veterinarian (which was awesome). I'm currently a hairstylist, but my real passion is to be a certified veterinary technician and own a biiig plot of land full of animals! I love all animals from dogs and cats, to fish and birds. You got em; I'll love em! I personally have a rescue dog and cat, but my mom has 2 senior-aged King Charles Cavaliers that I grew up with and groom for her. I've owned fish, snails, puppies, kittens, dogs, and cats, and I've cared for other people's birds, fish, reptiles, and guinea pigs. I definitely have a soft spot for guinea pigs and other small fluffies so if you have one (or multiple!) give me a shout!! I'm self-employed so I can walk, bathe, train, or care for your (and my) animals whenever I need to! I typically take my dog out every few hours, and feed her twice a day, but can adapt that to your pets! I'm very soft-spoken and understanding of why pets do what they do, so need to worry about harsh scoldings or punishments around me. I'm a firm believer that this is our pets' world and we're just living in it! I do allow my pets on furniture and on the bed, but can be accommodating to any behaviors you want me to avoid with yours! My job situation is a little unstable right now, like many others, but I will try my best to be available during peak hours for you and your pets! When walking dogs in my care, I make sure to go out mostly during the daylight, but if I do go out at night I make sure I have my flashlight on so cars can see and I use a location app that sends emergency services to my precise location if something were to go wrong. I also keep all doors, windows, trash cans, cabinets, etc. closed while inside so no one gets into anything they’re not supposed to be in.


17. Alli D.
About: I have plenty of experience in dog sitting. I’ve dog sat for people around the area since I was 16. I would love to help out. I am a college student in dothan at Wallace Community College in the respiratory therapy program. I have an open schedule and a lot of down time. I am very easy going and accommodating to everyone’s needs. My home has a big fenced in back yard, so plenty of room for your babies to run wild :)r

“Very pleased”


19. Cassidy K.


“We were very happy with Cassidy! She sent me pictures the entire weekend of Kody and updated me on what was going on. I know he was taken care of very well. She also cleaned up the house so we had a nice clean house to come home to! I will be using her again for our next trip!”


20. Emma G.
“Emma is the best caregiver for Scout and Sandy when I'm out of town. She always sends adorable pictures and videos, takes them on extra-long walks, and plays endless games of ball. She loves snuggling my fur babies, and we fondly call her Mama #2. I couldn't ask for a more loving dog sitter for my girls! She is my GO TO!”
