About: I had a Tibetan Terrier who lived to be 14 years old, so I've had plenty of senior pet care experience, as well as administering medications. I currently have a golden retriever who is about little over 1 year old who I got at 8 weeks so plenty of puppy experience as well. I've trained both of my dogs to do many tricks. I've never owned a cat but I've pet sit for plenty. I'm taking classes at the University of Alabama so whenver I'm not in class or taking care of my own dog, I'm free. Especially weekends, afternoons, and evening. I can take your dog on walks or if you have a fenced in yard I can go hang out with them in the backyard.
“Megan went above and beyond for our family and we felt totally safe and relaxed while we were gone! I would highly recommend Megan to anyone looking for a truly caring, thoughtful, intuitive sitter!”
“Leah was great!! She always showed up for drop-ins, and followed our feeding instructions perfectly. She took great care of our cat, played with her during visits, and sent pictures each time. I'd definitely choose Leah again!”
“Alex was great!! We did the meet and greet the day before and I knew I could trust her. I got pictures everyday which gave me peace of mind and showed my cat eating and playing so I knew she was happy and comfortable. I would gladly use her services in the future!”
“Wendy was awesome! She was punctual and was in touch with me frequently reporting my dog’s actions and responses to her. I felt very confident in her care. I will definitely use her again! Highly recommend.”

About: I’ve taken care of pets for over four years, longer including pet care for family dogs. During my time as a pet sitter, I have stuck to schedules, administered medication, and helped with training different dogs. I currently take one class for the month of June, it’s a morning class so I will have plenty of time in the afternoon and evening to make sure each pet gets adequate breaks and playtime. I keep a very close eye on each pet in my care. When trusted with the care of any pet, I believe that it is my responsibility to ensure the safety at all costs for each and every pet.

On the weekends I am available at any time! Depending on the week, I may be available more times! I am very mindful of dog’s behavior in the home.

“Catherine was amazing! She went above and beyond to make sure that my pups were well taken care of while my husband and I were away.

About: I was born into a pet loving home. In my life I have cared for animals in all shapes and sizes. I am currently a proud pet parent of 2 dogs and 3 cats. My youngest pet just turned a year old and we recently said goodbye to my 13 year old pit bull. (My little trick up the sleeve) I am married to a veterinary assistant that constantly encourages my love knowledge of pets. I am currently working full time at a bank. I work Monday- Friday 8-5. With this fixed schedule it is easy to build a pet itinerary that is best for you! I have a large fenced in yard with two friendly dogs to keep company. I am able to crate and separate if needed as well.
