“Peter took care of our 5 yr old Husky Mix and 8 month old Labrador while we were out of town. This included house sitting. The pets got great care and play time and the house was well taken care of. Highly recommend! I hope he can pet sit for us in the future.”

“Catherine is the best! She is so sweet and intentional, and my sweet Knox had the best time with her. She even offers crafts, homemade treats, and paw-decures!! 💅🏼 Will be booking again”

About: I have always loved animals and have taken care of one kind of animal or another for as long as I can remember. As a teen I volunteered at animal shelters, then as adult I became a foster for the Humane Society in Jacksonville Florida for years before moving to Birmingham last year. I miss having the opportunity to care for a variety of animals and getting to know them if only for a short while. I've taken care of very tiny newborns, sick, old, special needs and of course healthy animals. It would be my pleasure to welcome your fur babies with open arms into my home or yours. They will be treated like my own. If you are in the process of training, I will pick up where you left off with potty, leash training, etc. I can give baths and brushes if needed. I am a independent contractor and I make my own schedule. My work is very pet friendly so at the discretion of the parents, if they enjoy car rides, they can can either come with or I will stay home with them during their stay. I am very flexible. Whether my home or yours, I will follow your instructions / schedule down to the last detail. I always strive to provide a safe, loving, fun and learning environment that caters to your individual pet's needs.
About: I would love to walk/ hike with your pet, care for it at your home, or drop in to let them out. I have always loved animals ever since I was little. My first job was a pet sitting service, I was frequently asked to watch neighbors dogs, cats, bunnies, fish, etc. My friends often rely on me to take care of their animals while out of town and I have experience with older dogs as well as puppies. My dog passed away earlier this year and I won't be ready for anther dog anytime soon, but I would love to share love with your animals. I work seasonally and am currently off for my winter season. I would love to spend time with your animals either at your home or on walks/hikes! I can not watch pets in my own home but in my client's home I make sure to follow their rules and ask the important questions up front. I make sure to not leave pets alone too long and to be there for feeding times and to keep them company at night.
About: I have taken care of dogs as well as other pets for as long as I can remember. From walking dogs, to feeding mice I have done it all. I have had lots of dogs at my house before because of family events or people we know that have asked our family to take care of their dogs for them while they're gone. I really can do it all when it comes to pets. I can handle big dogs too since I'd say I am a bigger and stronger dude. I am currently a student at UAB and don't have classes on a few days and am available as of now. The weekends work great for me to pet sit, walk, feed, or do any other tasks for people's dogs as well. I take care of pets with extreme care as if they were my own. I always make sure my pets at home are well fed, taken care of, and overall just happy! I have lots of experience with pets and like I have said above I can do it all!
“Courtney is wonderful! My cat didn't miss me because Courtney took such good care of her. This meant a lot to me because it was one of the first times I left my cat in someone else's care. I would not hesitate to use Courtney again! Courtney is a caring, conscientious animal sitter. She clearly loves animals. She also left everything spotless! I highly recommend Courtney if you want an animal sitter you can count on to follow your instructions and is dependable, diligent and caring.”

“Alora did a great job housesitting for our two pups. She was available on short notice, and she even made time to come by for a meet and greet. One of our dogs has stranger danger, but she liked Alora immediately! Alora was communicative and sent lots of pictures. I was able to relax while traveling knowing my pups were in good hands. I definitely recommend booking with her!”

About: I can't remember a time in my life I did not have my own pets. I have taken care of my own pets all of my life and am a lifelong animal caregiver. I have experience as a foster mom for an animal rescue as well and I enjoyed taking care of so many different babies and helping them find their forever homes. I have always had both cat and dog companions and have advocated and helped friends and family with their pets as well. I currently have a senior dog, a senior cat, who have both been with me for over 13 years, three cats who are two years old and a leopard gecko! I would love to meet you and help with your pet care needs! I'm currently available part-time, on Monday- Friday from 9:00 am- 1:30 pm. I would be happy to work around your schedule as much as possible! I have a fenced in yard and pets of my own. I understand each pet has their own personality and needs tailored to them. I will be an active listener and always treat and care for your pets according to your wishes!

About: I’ve always loved animals and have years of hands-on experience caring for dogs of different sizes, breeds, and personalities, including my own 1 year old mini Goldendoodle. I’m patient, attentive, and reliable, and I understand how important it is to make pets feel safe, comfortable, and loved while their owners are away. I’m experienced with walks, feeding schedules, playtime, basic grooming, administering simple routines, and giving pets the attention they need to feel at ease. I’m especially good with energetic dogs, puppies who need consistency, and dogs who benefit from calm, gentle care. I treat every pet like they’re my own and always make sure they get plenty of love, exercise, and supervision. Pet care fits naturally into my weekly routine because I’m organized, active, and used to building my days around responsibilities. I’m great at sticking to schedules for walks, feedings, potty breaks, playtime, and check-ins. I enjoy being active, so regular walks and exercise are something I genuinely look forward to. I make sure every pet gets dependable care, attention, and consistency, and I’m committed to keeping owners updated so they feel confident while they’re away. Safety and trust are my top priorities with every pet. Whether I’m caring for pets in my home or in a client’s home, I always make sure the environment is clean, secure, and calm. I pay close attention to routines, feeding instructions, leash safety, and any special needs or behaviors so pets feel comfortable and stress-free. I never leave pets unsupervised in unsafe situations, and I always treat each home with respect. I know how important it is for pet parents to feel confident, so I focus on clear communication, reliability, and giving every pet patient, loving care.

About: I’ve been caring for dogs for over 7 years for some of my family, friends, and neighbors. I have tons of experience with pets of all sizes, ages, and energy levels. I’m a very active college student and athlete, so I love the opportunity to take long walks, playing fetch, and making sure pets get the attention and exercise they deserve. I’m currently a college student on summer break a more than flexible schedule, which allows me to dedicate quality time to pet care throughout the week. I’m more than willing able to do walks, drop-in visits, or overnight care. Moreover, I’m committed to being very communicative and reliable, your pet is a part of your family, and deserves to be treated that way. I can accommodate morning, afternoon, and evening visits depending on your needs and will always make sure your pet receives plenty of attention and care. Your pet’s safety and well-being are, of course, my top priorities. I will follow all instructions regarding feeding schedules, medications, exercise, and household routines to the letter, treating the pets as if they were my own. I strive to always maintain a clean and safe environment especially during walks and outdoor activities. I understand that every pet has a unique personality and comfort level, so I never rush the time to build that trust crucial to a healthy relationship.
“Corina was great! She took time to do a meet and greet with my dog at my house before keeping her for the weekend, and my dog, who is usually very shy/skittish, took to her right away! Corina was thorough with her questions and making sure my dog would keep her normal routine while we were gone.”

About: I grew up with dogs my entire life till i moved to college when I was 18. After that, I worked at a doggie daycare where I worked with large groups of dogs, helped socialize reactive dogs, exercised overactive dogs, and looked after boarded dogs for long periods. I'm currently a full-time student and looking for a part-time job. I am free early in the morning before class and in the afternoon to give all your pups the attention they need and deserve. I can't board in my apartment, but I can dog-sit in the comfort of their home base. I provide attentive, reliable care for every pet, focusing on safety, consistency, and making sure they feel comfortable in their own environment. In your home, I’m respectful of your space and keep everything clean and secure. I also provide regular photo updates so you can feel confident that your pet is safe, happy, and well cared for. Your pet’s well-being is always my top priority, and I treat every animal like they’re my own.
“Britney took very good care of my three dogs and sent me daily photos and text messages to let me know how they were doing. I will forsure use her again for any up coming trips in the future.”


“Sara is truly a great sitter. She took very good care of my senior dog. I told her and he showed her all of the issues that he has and she handled them with great care which put me at ease. I'll definitely be using her again.”

About: I have taken care of dogs for the past 5 years, including a chihuahua of my own and my family’s dogs. I have experience raising puppies and caring for senior dogs as well. Even though every dog is different, I am able to provide adequate care and attention to every fur baby that I have the privilege of looking after. I am currently a student and have plenty of down time when I am not at school. This includes Fridays and Weekends and I can be pretty flexible with time! I keep frequent communication with pet owners, I’m able to accommodate to a dog needs, and am pretty knowledgeable about dog behavior to know their needs.
