“Whitney took great care of my fur baby!! She accepted willow into her home with loving and caring arms. She sent me videos and pictures of her and made sure she was well taken care of. Will definitely keep using Whitney in the future!”


“I could not have chosen a better person to take care of my puppy while I was out of town! Talhia is a truly caring and empathetic person who will take in your furry friends like they are her own family. I have not seen someone more qualified for their job in a long time and I am so happy that I found her! My anxious puppy was in amazing hands and very happy the whole time, I received so many pictures and vids every day! She even was more than happy to watch her an extra 3 nights when my plans changed. 100% recommend to anyone and would book with her again of course!”


“My family and our dog met Jennifer before my dog’s 2 night stay. I was confident that my dog would be well taken care of during my weekend trip. Jennifer also gave me some advice on some things I need to work on with my dog. She has been an only dog, so I was happy that she was able to be around other dogs during her stay. I highly recommend Jennifer. Thank you you for meeting with us before her visit and allowing her into your home.”


“Anna is always wonderful with my Nahla. This is my second time having Nahla board with her. She’s very accommodating and sends updates daily. I love that Nahla enjoys their fenced backyard!! She goes in happily every time seeing Anna!”


“I thank God that I chose Quadricka to book with. She made me feel very at ease about leaving my Bailey with her. She has the most welcoming spirit and her personality certainly matches her bio. Her home is very nice, comfy, and very clean which means a lot. She sent pics of Bailey, kept me updated,and she also was very responsive if I checked on him. He was happy and energetic when I dropped him off and when I picked up him up! She is definitely a 10/10 so book with her today because she is definitely my sitter from now on out.”


“Chelsea was amazing! She was available last minute to watch our dachshund and was very kind! She sent multiple updates including pictures and videos. Frank loved his time hanging out with her and her doggos!”


About: I have been an avid pet lover, owner, and caregiver my entire life! Throughout my teenage years I worked, and rode, for many top equestrian facilities in Georgia providing weekend barn care such as stall cleaning, feeding, and turnout. I have provided farm/pet sitting for numerous clients, friends, and families over the years, being solely responsible for up to 30 horses, as well as their pets, at one time. Most recently, I have 5 years of experience working in the veterinary industry. I currently have 2 dogs! A 4 year old Golden Retriever and a 7 year old Shepsky who both are my best friends! I currently do work full-time in Birmingham, however I am off every Friday and available on weekends as well! Mondays-Fridays I can provide afternoon and evening pet care services as well. At home, we have a fully fenced in yard and both of our dogs are friendly and love to play! I can also crate your pets if need be, and am comfortable administering oral/topical medications.

“She was great. House was clean, doggie updates were adorable and pups came home happy and bathed. Be really specific on pick up and drop off times well in advance and this is a perfect sitter”


About: I have 5+ years of experience in pet sitting and am a huge animal lover! I have two cats of my own, and have fostered about a dozen kittens and cats from shelters. I love interacting with dogs and cats of any size and personality, and enjoy dog walking as well. I have volunteered at the Humane Society cat house, as well as walk dogs through the Metro Animal Shelter happy hour. I would love to spend time with your pets and am committed to providing them a safe environment, as well as sending updates and pictures while you are away so you know they are in goods hands. I am currently a UAB medical student living in Tuscaloosa. I currently have a flexible schedule in my fourth year, and most of my weekends are completely open as well as some weekdays. I will ensure that my calendar stays updated routinely with availability. I am fully willing to tailor my pet-sitting for you and your pets needs! I am very flexible as far as needs for feeding, walking, etc and check ins at your home. Love going to the Tuscaloosa riverwalk for dog walking! Your pet can also stay in my home if needed! I live in a house with two adult cats so I prefer that your pet be cat-friendly, but I also have an extra bedroom where your furbaby can stay if separation is needed. My house has a walking trail and lake behind it which is perfect for dogs. My cats have been introduced to many foster pets over the years!

“Highly recommend!! Morgan sent me photos and videos throughout the entire weekend and my dog was always playing and having fun. Her dogs were playing with my lab all weekend. I felt very comfortable knowing he was in good hands and will absolutely book with Morgan again!”


About: I’ve loved animals for as long as I can remember. I grew up with a sweet collie and a tiny chihuahua, and now I’m lucky to share my life with two rescued pups, Blue and Syla. They’re goofy, full of personality, and always making me smile. I enjoy caring for pets of all sizes and personalities. I can help with walks, playtime, feeding, and keeping a regular potty schedule. I also have experience with minor training and grooming. I believe exercise, attention, and love are the keys to a happy, healthy pet. Along with dogs and cats, I have experience caring for farm animals like chickens, guinea fowl, and ducks. I make sure they have fresh food and water and a safe, clean place to live. I’ve been the go-to pet sitter for friends, family, and neighbors for years, and now I’m excited to offer the same care to pets in the Tuscaloosa area. Whether your pet has fur or feathers, I’ll treat them like my own. I can’t wait to meet your pets and give them the love and attention they deserve. I work full time from home, so I’m here all day to give your pets attention, love, and care. I can take breaks for walks, playtime, and potty breaks throughout the day, making sure your pet sticks to their normal routine. I’m available for boarding on weekends and for walks or drop-ins during weekday mornings, lunch breaks, and evenings. I have a fenced yard and two friendly dogs to keep your pet company. I can crate your dog if needed and always make sure they have fresh water, a safe space, and lots of affection. Whether in my home or yours, I’ll provide a clean, secure, and loving environment so your pet feels happy and comfortable.

“She is definitely the best!! She gave updates throughout the day/night and almond with Pictures of our fur baby!!! If you’re looking for a safe and loving home booked with Ainsley!!!!”


“Lauren took great care of our three fur babies. They were happy and healthy when we arrived back from our trip. Her little pup is a sweetheart and together they made our dogs a welcome part of their pack. She has a fabulous fenced yard. Highly recommended.”


“Julie did an amazing job taking care of my kitty! I needed someone on really short notice to take him for over a week and I was really nervous giving him to someone I didn’t know. My expectations were beyond exceeded. I got multiple pictures a day and didn’t have a single worry while I was away. I will definitely be booking again in the future!!”


“Monique was very responsive to all of my messages. My pup had anxiety and she did an amazing job of comforting her. She is kind and was very patient while we waited for our pup to feel comfortable. Highly recommend 🐾”
