Mollie saved our thanksgiving. We decided last minute to travel for the holidays and she was great at communicating as well as handling our big dogs.

I really think my cat Jesse is in love with Mallie. When I got home after 8 days away, Jesse told me all about the great time he had with Mallie. They have been together three times in the past year and I am certain they will get to spend more time together in the future. Mallie brushed Jesse because his fur was shiny and soft. His water dish was clean and plenty of food was in his bowl when I returned. Great job Mallie!!

Bekah was so wonderful with both of our cats! The pictures were adorable and I could tell both Ann (the usually hesitant older kitty) and George (the rambunctious young kitty) we’re both comfortable and happy during her visits! Wonderful care! Will definitely be asking Bekah to care for them again!

Karli took excellent care of our two dogs! We loved getting pictures of them during each visit. I sprained my wrist and she even opened an extra can of dog food and left it in the fridge for me since I had mentioned having trouble opening the cans. I've already booked her for a couple more drop in visits!

About: I own a large dog and small dog who are fun goofballs. Also, I care for 3 bunnies. I cared for my mother's cat till her age took her. Miss my kitties who passed years ago, but am a happy dog owner. I like to learn each pet's personality to better my care for them. I am a homeschool mom and can make pet visits and walks between lessons easily. I try to walk my dogs once or twice a day, depending on weather and their needs. I groom my own dogs because it keeps them calmer and happier. Their haircuts aren't perfect yet, but they feel the love. My kids' bunnies have daily run around play time daily as well. Usually most of my own pet playtime care is done in the morning and at night. My dogs are not crated. We have limited space for crates yet a long hallway. The fence is high and blocks view from pedestrians. Dogs have plenty of space to romp and explore. We do have a pool, which they avoid. Sometimes we gate off the room that has our main entrance to prevent dogs form escaping (if they saw a squirrel or cat). My both doors stay locked, pets feed in separate spaces. I allow animals on my couch with permission first. (Sometimes they don't ask, so we are working on that).

About: What truly sets me apart is my commitment to communication. I provide regular updates, photos, and detailed notes after each visit or walk, so you always feel connected to your pet. My background also includes volunteer work at a local animal shelter, where I gained hands-on experience handling dogs with special needs and anxiety. You can count on me to treat your pet and home with the same respect and care I’d expect for my own. Reliability, compassion, and peace of mind—that’s what I bring to every visit. Pet care is an integral part of my daily and weekly routine. I prioritize creating a consistent and safe environment for every pet in my care, whether that means early morning walks, timely feedings, or engaging play sessions throughout the day. I incorporate time each day to monitor health, behavior, and comfort, ensuring pets feel secure and loved while their owners are away. On a weekly basis, I plan for special outings, grooming (if needed), and ongoing communication with pet owners to provide updates and maintain trust. Caring for animals is more than a job—it’s a responsibility I take seriously, and I structure my schedule to reflect that commitment. I have a fenced in privacy fence back yard! As well as a temperature controlled garage if needed to separate! I have an extra crate if needed as well!

About: I've always had a cat. I've helped care for kitties through every life stage, and would take family and friends dog-walking or sitting gigs whenever I could. Building a rapport with an animal and earning their trust is something I take great pride in! I'm currently working part time, so I am very flexible. Weekends, evenings, mornings. Please reach out to let me know your situation - I'd love to make something work! My flexible schedule means house-sitting is totally up my alley! I'm happy to spend as much one-on-one time as needed, with lots of outdoor playtime/walks and an attentive presence inside to make sure they have everything they need.

About: My parents gave me a Cocker Spaniel while I was a toddler. My whole life I have had at least one dog and more often than not I have had two or three. I have pup sat for many friends and have fostered more than 100 dogs. That number is not exaggerated. I founded Cavalier Rescue of Florida and was their first Director of Rescue. I held that position for 8 years until we moved to Alabama, but that Group is still going strong. Because I have had so many foster dogs in and out of my home I gained more knowledge than most in caring for dogs: very sick dogs, very old dogs, puppies and many fur babies that required daily medical treatments. I know how to check and treat diabetes, ear and eye problems, and give dogs injections if needed. I love all breeds of dogs and have had experience with many breeds and mixes. I honestly become unhappy when I am not surrounded by canines. I also am an experienced dog trainer and would be glad to give you instructions if you’re trying to train your dog. I currently foster for Cavalier Rescue USA, another great rescue organization. I am retired and my husband who is also a dog lover is retired. We are at home most of the time and don't leave our dogs at home without crating them for safety reasons and for no more than five hours without having someone check on them. I can sit for your furbabies any weekday and on weekends. I always put caring for the dogs before anything else. We have a very large fenced back yard with shade trees and double fences where there are gates. We have double fences in case someone leaves a gate open. We have never had a dog escape from our yard.

About: Since I was a child, I've been raising and taking care of animals of all shapes and sizes. I've nursed plenty of bottle babies- kittens, puppies and even rodents and farm animals. I've worked at the Chattanooga Zoo and volunteered at shelters across the country, so there's nothing you can throw at me that I haven't seen before! I currently work full-time 5 days a week, 8-10 hour shifts, so I have to schedule around that. The rest of my day will be dedicated to your pet(s)! I love matching a pet's energy and I'm happy hanging out on the couch or running circles in the yard- whatever the situation calls for!

About: I have always had pets growing up and my love for them has grown into my adulthood even more. I have a passion for learning and understanding all different types of animals. My experience in Pet Care is from owning my own pets and caring for family, friends and volunteering over the years. My husband works nights and I work days so there is always someone home to make sure your fur baby is taken care of and loved on! Our residence features ample space in the garage, and a spacious fenced-in backyard. As pet owners ourselves, with two golden doodles and a cat, we understand the stress associated with leaving them behind. Consequently, we would provide a nurturing environment, treating boarded pets like our own, with generous playtime outside of their kennels and the attention and affection they are accustomed to receiving at home. ❤️

About: Follow us on Facebook at Doggone Good Pet Services located in Decatur, AL! You can book there as well. I’ve owned and cared for many fur babies in all shapes, sizes, breeds and I’ve enjoyed taking care of animals all of my life. My husband has always told me if I could have an animal sanctuary I would take in every single animal I came across. I worked as a veterinarian assistant before I became a full time stay at home mom. Since I am home all day so I will have plenty of time on my hands to give love to your babies. I am away from home each week day from 1:30 until 2:15 to pick kids up from school . Each and every fur baby will always be treated like family I have a fenced in back yard with lots of room to play and roam. Anytime I would have to leave the house, I always make sure all dogs are separated and /or in kennels to ensure nothing happens while I’m gone. No need to bring toys, blankets, crates, beds, bowls, etc, I have all on site and make sure they’re cleaned and sanitized every day.

About: I’ve had dogs my whole life that I have taken care all different breeds from corgis, dachshunds, basset hounds poodles, and even my rescue baby who’s a mutt. I also have volunteered at my local animal shelter which taught me a lot of skills about how to make a dog comfortable with you and gave me firsthand experience dealing with various different personalities and dog breeds. I have 2 dogs of my own that I care for one of which is a my rescue baby who I found on the street and nursed back to health. I’ve worked with senior dogs before bathing them, as well as helping them with the bathroom and with giving them their medications. I’ve also helped bottle feed newborn puppies who sadly lost their mother. I’m currently a college student and I have classes on Monday and Wednesday from 9 to 11:30 a class on Tuesday from 9:30 to 12. I will happily do early morning walks or check-in’s as long as they are before at least 30 minutes from when I have to be at my classes and walks and check-ins after 12 through the rest of the week. I am adapt at handling all kind of dogs and all with different personalities and am willing to able to do just about anything to make them the most comfortable they can be. When I’m in your house it’s your rules and I have no problems with be monitored if that makes you feel better. I’ll go at your pace
