“We are very thankful to Michael for taking care of our not 1, not 2, but 5 pups!!! 3 of the 5 are complete wildlings but he patiently handled them with grace. He is very easy to work with in scheduling. Michael even showed up for a meet & greet and spent quite a while learning the most he could about our babies so he would be prepared to take care of them when needed. We look forward to building the relationship & being able to count on him to help us when we have plans that cause us to be away from them. Thank you Michael!!!”
About: I have been a lifelong lover and owner of multiple dogs. I became a cat lover & owner over 20 years ago. I own 2 cats that are 12 years plus and 2 dogs, a 12 year old lab and a 3 year old lab/anatolian mix who are all part of my family. I have cared for multiple animals for friends and family for many years now. I have done pet/house sitting etc. for dogs as large as a Great Dane and Great Pyrenees, simultaneously. Giving the very best care to my animals and seeing to their health care needs are my top priority. I believe that as a pet owner or caregiver, they deserve the best care possible, as they are totally dependent on us to have their needs met. Pet behavior and nutrition are one of my highest interests and I do constant research on how to improve both. I am open to working with pets who are loving and adapt well to new people caring for them. I would love the opportunity to work with and spoil your fur-baby! Cuddles and snuggles are always included! I have a flexible schedule with lots of room for daily drop-in visits and walks from 30 to 60 minutes per visit, & house sitting when planned in advance. I am not currently providing this service, so no need to describe the services performed here. I do not have this sitter option available whatsoever.
“Madeline did a great job with both my cats over a 2 week span. Highly recommend”
About: I am a senior at the University of South Alabama. I work flexible hours and take classes primarily online so I have availability throughout the day during the work week and weekend. I have had dogs my entire life. I currently live in a home with a large fenced yard, so the dogs could play as they pleased. I love animals and am looking to make some extra money while I am supporting myself through school. I have experience sitting dogs of all sizes, including less than 6 month old puppies to 150 pound Great Danes. I also love cats and have had a family cat since early childhood. My sitting experience has also previously included to guinea pigs, rabbits, and parakeets. I have two small to medium sized dogs that are currently fed three times per day (plus their much needed snacks). I love spending time with my animals. It is important to me that animals never go more than a few hours without access to outside and/or free play. All animals need love and attention! In your home, I would clean litter boxes upon every day worked. Brushing, bathing, and dispensing medication are all within the scope of my services. The dogs would all be able to play together or separated if need be. They are super sweet and non-aggressive. In your home, I would be able to let them out several times per day, play with them, as well as grooming tasks like bathing or taking to the groomers.
“Elizabeth was great with my cat, she worked with her and was patient with her the whole time she was there. Definitely recommend to other pet owners?”
About: I’ve taken care of cats and dogs both pretty much my whole life as far back as I can remember. I am 25 years old and have been surrounded by these animals and cared for them from newborn kittens on the side of the street to my current crazy dachshund, Daisy. I am currently a student in Occupational Therapy starting fieldwork. Pet care starts at 6 am in my household. I make sure she has play time and enrichment prior to me leaving. I also make sure she gets taken out on the middle of that day to go potty. She has a play pen and crate set up with some toys, food, water, and a puppy pad in case of accidents. Playtime is the first thing we do when we get home as well. I have a fenced in acre yard. Our back door had a doggy door for small animals to get in and out, as well as a glass door if we don’t want them going outside without us. We make sure everything is picked up off the floor that could potentially harm an animal. Cords and wires are tucked away and doors stay shut unless we are supervising as our dog is still potty training.
About: I have been around dogs my whole life and have taken care of them since I was old enough to. I currently have 4 dogs and I love each and every one of them! I have had some experience with cats and I do like them as well! I am much more available during the week. It would be preferable if I took care of the animals from between 9-2. It might change as I am thinking of quitting my part-time job but that is my availability at this time. I am willing to walk the animals, feed them, play with them, and just do pretty much what you would like. I do all of these things for my pets at home.
About: I’ve taken care of pets my whole life. Animals always make me smile. My family relies on me to take care of their pets while they are out of town. I work part time as a server. And will have plenty of time to walk or have a play date with your dog or cat. I will love any and every animal to cross me. I will take care of your pet however it pleases you. I always will have treats on hand as well.
About: I am very experienced with animal caretaking as I have had pets my entire time growing up. I have a 1 and a half year old golden retriever/lab mix with a lot of energy. I will graduate from the University of South Alabama in December of 2024 with a bachelor's in social work. I have much experience with taking care of children and seniors, and have completed many classes on the study of human behavior. With my compassion and patience learned from my social work experience, I will treat your pet with respect and kindness. I am great at following directions and giving full time attention to pets. I am very outgoing and get excited when I see dogs and cats. I always ask to pet peoples' dogs when they walk by. Overall, I enjoy petting, walking, and running around with dogs. I will provide attentive and kind care to your pet. With a puppy and two cats myself, I am used to regularly feeding them, petting them, and running around the yard while playing fetch with my puppy. I get along with strangers' pets very well and usually connect with animals quickly. I always keep an eye on my pets and never forget about them. I am constantly petting them or laying next to them if I am not actively playing with them.
About: *must have proof of vaccination to board* Hey y’all! Looking for someone to care for your fur babies? My name is Megan and I live on the outskirts of Lucedale MS. I have 3 kids between 9 and 14 that love animals just as much as I do. I work as a kennel technician/aspiring vet assistant in a vet clinic in Alabama and absolutely love my job! I started in animal care during my high school years by volunteering with a humane society. Over the years I have rescued and fostered animals thru my local shelter and have raised numerous fur babies. I currently have one rabbit(Ruby), a very rambunctious yellow lab(Sadie), a sassy corgi/weenie dog(Mama Dog), a blue tick beagle mix who is a big ball of love(Shadow), and 3 adventurous kitties(Kiara, Jackson and Squeaky). All who are shelter rescues or strays. My oldest pet Peanut was a 17 year old tuxedo cat who crossed the rainbow bridge a couple years ago. 💜🌈 My newest member of the pack is a dapple weenie puppy named Gracie, and we are currently getting ready for a Tennessee walker and chickens! Nobody leaves my home without being covered in fur and doggy kisses lol. My fur babies are my whole heart and I promise to care for yours just as I would my own! I am a full time kennel technician at a vet clinic in mobile, most Mondays and Fridays i am away for 10+ hours. However, most weekends & Wednesdays I am wide open, and some Tuesdays/thursdays. I am pretty flexible with availability so if you have any questions please feel free to ask! I have a large 4 bed/2 bath home on 7 acres. I will provide clean bedding and crating(if needed) unless you prefer to bring your own. i will accurately follow the instructions you provide on how to care for your pet. I will gladly walk your pet, clean up after them, check on them when you need(at work, out of town etc), as long as it is within my personal work schedule. I also offer a complimentary bath and nail trim when your pet stays with me.

Madison D.
“If you are looking for someone to treat your pet as family. Look no further! Madison Duncan is the girl for you. If there is one thing I can say about her that sets her apart, it would be that she has the skill to carry on any conversation with your animal to make them feel safe and loved. I trusted her with all of my pets and in all honesty I wonder if they like her a little more than me. You wont go wrong when you put your trust in her to take care of your fur baby.”

Megan G.
“If you’re looking for a responsible, loving, dog sitter, you’ve found her. Megan has 3 dogs, and 3 cats of her own. All rescues. They’re all very spoiled and happy. The dogs even go camping and boating with us. Your dogs would be loved and very well cared for. And there is a run in the backyard for exercise, and on nice days, she takes them to the park or soccer field, right down the road, for walks. Your precious fur babies would be in great hands.”
