About: I have a dog and 2 cats if my own so I consider myself experienced in pet care. I have dog sat for many years now for both neighbors and family. I don’t mind cleaning up after pets and I can give medicine to unwilling pets. I don’t currently have a job so I am free whenever! I am simply looking to make some money to help with college in the fall. I have a fenced backyard and my pets are friendly. I can easily crate your pet if that’s what they’re used to. I can also come to your house to take them out and give them plenty of love.
About: I love watching animals more than anything! Always know that your animal is loved and in great hands when I am in charge and responsible for them I am a full time student at The University of Alabama. This is my first year so I am still getting used to everything! I only have 2 classes max a day so have plenty of free time!! I know how to crate animals, as I have a puppy back home that is crate trained. If your yard is not fenced I will at all times keep your dog on a leash!!

About: I have experience with both puppies and senior pets, and I’m really good at picking up on their needs. I’m patient with training, gentle with older pets, and always go the extra mile to make sure they feel safe and loved. I treat every animal like family and take pride in being dependable and caring. Pet care is a central part of my daily and weekly routine. I plan my days around each pet’s needs to ensure they receive consistent, personalized attention. Mornings typically begin with feeding, walking, or checking in on pets who stay overnight or require morning visits. Midday is often dedicated to dog walks or drop-in visits, especially for pets who need a bathroom break, medication, or company while their owners are at work. Follow the pet’s regular feeding schedule, including any medications. Provide fresh water at all times. Take dogs on walks or let them out as needed. Keep cats’ litter boxes clean and odor-free. Stick to the pet’s normal routine to reduce stress. Spend quality time with pets through play, affection, and attention.

“Last minute booking and was happy to have found Fiona. Now, ecstatic that I did !!!! She did a meet a greet for about an hour a few days before we left to meet us and the pups.
