“Alexandra gave excellent care to my boy, sent texts, and pics - it is nice to not have to worry when you are away from your fur-baby. I highly recommend Alexandra-I will be using her again!”


“Jennifer is a phenomenal people person and cat whisperer. Loved getting pictures from her playing with the kitties while I was away. Very easy to work with - I highly recommend her!”


About: My household has always had a furry friend in it since the day I was born from small ankle biters like Chihuahuas to hefty cuties like my current Bully Pit that I can safely wrestle in some horseplay. Puppies, seniors, we don't discriminate 'round here! I don't mind getting my hands dirty and have small experience in clicker training younger pups along with an energy to match whichever personality I'm given. A boundless Collie? We can play all day! A sleepy old Bassett? We can chill with some TV. I'm not above being put to work either. Give me a litter box to clean. Give me medicine and I'll make sure it's getting swallowed. Toss a cat my way as well why doncha? I worked as a cat caretaker during my fall and spring semesters in Auburn University, as well as own a lovely kitten named Autumn, so having a feline to shake things up would be a nice treat! Trust me, my hands have a good pain tolerance. Beyond that, I know it costs major bucks to look after your pets. Or pay someone ELSE too. Sometimes a week stay for a pet can run up to $500! That's why you come to me. I offer affordable rates because I'm more concerned with the passion than the money. I have multiple pets of my own and I know the chip they can put in my wallet just from vet visits! So I won't let it get in your way! 🤠 I've graduated happily from Auburn University with a degree in Animal Sciences and am settling into a new job. This means that while I'm happy to take on new clients, my schedule is sporadic as it's determined on a weekly basis. It also means I will be gone for many hours at a time. My current work schedule and thus how long I'd be busy for July 28-Aug 3 is: Mon: 5-9:30 pm Tue: 4-9:30 Wed: 5-9:30 Thurs: Free Fri: Free Sat: 1-9:30 pm Sun: 10 am-7 pm Safety is a non-negotiable when it comes to our furry friends. Just like I do with my own pals, I stay by them at all times when outside and encourage their attention with toys or loving scritches when they're not doing their business. If push comes to shove, I am capable of safely wrestling an overzealous dog into calming down or tightening the 'ol leash if need be. With cats, responsibly scruffing rarely fails. Inside, unless stated otherwise where they're allowed to park themselves, I stay with my little friends on the floor and can crate them if specified to do so when it's bedtime. If they're free roamers, I let them tag along where I go! Except the kitchen. I also welcome animals who require daily or periodic medication. Bear in mind I charge $10 per day of administering medication, and it would cover all required meds for that day. Rest assured your friend will be taken care of!

“Victoria was great @ our meet and greet. I felt very comfortable with her. She was always prompt for the times scheduled. She took lots of photos and did very thorough written updates each time. She even did a couple of extra things we asked her to do without hesitation! We will definitely use Victoria the next time we are in need of a sitter. The babies loved not having to be boarded in a strange facility again.”


“Aleigha was incredible!!! Super nice and friendly and was so patient with my fur babies! One of my dogs is super timid and scared and sometimes doesn’t eat when I’m not around. Aleigha was wonderful enough to try hand feeding to get him to eat and it worked! If you’re looking for a pet sitter she’s the one you want!!”


About: I’ve taken care of dogs of every kind since I was young. My dog, neighbors, and friends have relied on me to provide extensive care. I love all fur babies big & small! I have a flexible schedule and I’d love to fill my time by taking care of your sweet pets. I love to provide animals with quality time outside to get in their exercise. I will gladly play, feed, and love on your sweet pets.

“Maegan is an excellent sitter. She provided detailed messages on her drop in visits and multiple pics of my pups. She gave them their meds and treats as requested and even gave them back scratches that they loved!!! Hurricane Francine had come through the area during my absence and knocked over a couple of my potted plants on the front porch and back yard and she even picked those up which was way above and beyond. It was so nice knowing my babies were taken care of so well so I didn't worry about them. I highly recommend Maegan and will definitely use her again for my dog service needs.”


“Appreciate the updates today. Thank you”


“She was amazing! She took great care of my baby, and continuously sent updates and pictures! I will definitely be using her again in the future’”



“Atrisha was absolutely the best! She went above and beyond. We had never left the dogs with anyone before other than family. She was so wonderful to the dogs. They were comfortable with her. We were comfortable with her. She gave us complete peace of mind so we were able to enjoy our trip.”


“She did such a great job taking care of our cats! Would highly recommend!”


“Stephanie was fantastic with dropping in on our cat when we were out of town! She logged detailed notes about her visits, took pictures each visit, and was diligent and thorough. Would absolutely hire her again and would recommend her to anybody.”


About: I have many pets at home (10 to be exact) and they are the best part of each day. I would love to get to know yours as well! I just took a break from college, so I have a lot of free time. I am still available on weekends but not full time because of work. Weekdays are totally free! My main goal is to make your pets feel safe and comfortable with me. I will do what’s needed to make them feel as though they can trust me.

“2nd time booking with Jordan. Just top notch service. I’m so pleased with the level of patience and care Jordan consistently shows our little guy. I’m very picky about who I leave Jasper with, Jordan is very trustworthy and would highly recommend her services. Thanks again Jordan! See you again soon!”


About: I've raised several puppies into adulthood throughout my life and I have experience in dog sitting that I have done for friends and family through the years. I'm currently searching for a new career, so I have plenty of time to take care of animals. I'm looking forward to a new experience! I have a fenced yard, and two small dogs to keep your pets company. I can also crate dogs if necessary! I have one big dog that stays in the back yard and in his crate.

“Kaleigh is professional, courteous and punctual. She did a great job taking care of my 2 kitties on two separate occasions. I definitely recommend her.”


About: I've cared for puppies, senior dogs, heart worm positive dogs, escape artists, professional nappers, mouthy labs, big mountain dogs, small spaniels, dogs with a daily grooming need and dogs prone to needing bathed. I love dogs of all kinds and will follow care instructions to the T to ensure any dogs I watch are safe, loved, and given the best to maintain their health. I work part time and have a flexible schedule - even on my busiest days our six pups aren't locked up for more than 5 hours. My husband and I joke that one of our hobbies is dogs. With our large backyard, our dogs get about an hour or more in the morning, midday, and again in the evening to play, sniff, and lounge outside - not to mention any additional potty trips or sniff breaks they ask for throughout the day! We have a large fenced in backyard with a playset, outdoor furniture, and a kiddie pool set up for the dogs to use. Dogs are allowed on the furniture and bed, and we have a spare bedroom we turned into a dog lounge space. We have crates to keep our younger or more mischevious dogs safe when we leave the house and have additional crates for medium and large sized dogs that come stay with us. We can also set up your own dog(s) crate(s) in a separate room if your dog needs a quieter environment. We do have 6 dogs that range in size from 50-75 pounds - they loved cuddles, chasing each other around the yard, and stealing our spot when we leave the couch. None are toy or crate/bed posessive and we separate the dogs while the eat so the speedy eaters aren't tempted to steal the others food!

“Maitland is very responsive and prompt! Our dogs love her, and she’s done a great job with her drop in visits!”

About: I have had pets my whole life. Love all kinds. I have house sitted for a week recently with 2 dogs. Young or old, they'll be safe in my care. I have plenty of time. Work is slow and not stable. Hoping adding this to the list would supply an extra source of income but I clean for homeaglow and that's usually a couple hrs a day for maybe 2/3 days a week. I help a friend with his landscape business but everything I do is flexible and I would work around your schedules.. While in their home they would do what they normally are used to and as for mine, I would make them comfortable and safe as possible. Crate them if needed...

“La’kyerah has been looking after my dog, Mocha for almost 3 years and she is one of the best pet sitters I’ve personally every met! She goes above and beyond when she takes care of our mocha and she follows our every request with so much excitement even if it’s a little extra(such as dressing her (mocha) up in little outfits and sending us pictures of her just because we miss her! She’s also the only person mocha will take any form of medication from and we pet parents know how big of a deal that is!! She literally the perfect sitter!!!!!”

“Caleb has loved animals since he was a young child. Our family had dogs and cats while he was growing up. He has always been drawn to animals and loved our pets. Dogs, especially, have been important in his life. We have our second Goldendoodle now and have had Labs, a cocker, and a shepherd mix. He loves big dogs but he has a sweet cockapoo now. He has loved them all. He has experience taking care of animals and would take good care of your fur-babies”
