About: Hi. I'm a born caregiver and that includes pets. Until their passing recently, I was my housemates dog walker, caregiver, sitter and dog uncle since 2010. While they were her dogs she routinely joked she was jealous they were far more affectionate with me. :) They were fed regularly, walked, played with, I put proper meds in their food, and often they fall asleep next to me. I also was my friends first choice for dog sitting and even pet sit for a CEO and SVP. In this job, you're not doing this to get rich, you do this because you CARE for animals. Because I cannot have pets where I live at, this allows me to be around pets to enjoy their company as pets have a way of making me smile and enjoy life even a bit more. I will treat your pet as my own and send you lots of pics and updates so you know your furry family member is cared for like you would. I currently work as a video/film editor as well as animation and music production so doing this PT allows me to continue that dream while getting exercise and being around pets as I cannot really have them at my place. I listen to your directions and will treat your pet with the same care and love I would want with a pet if I had one. While others say one thing and do another, you really can trust that I'm honest, loving, caring. I can also help medicate if I'm placing meds inside their foods.
About: I have been training and taking care of dogs and cats since I was little. I love playing and caring for all types of my four legged friends. I am currently attending the University of Alabama, so my schedule is very flexible and open to all types of schedules! My schedule is completely open in summer. Please reach out for any questions! I have a big yard with two friendly outdoor labs. I also live on the lake if your dog likes to swim. Indoors, I have two cats that do not mind dogs or other cats.
“Harold was great at handling our St. Bernard, Lion. Lion can be a handful and we were transparent with Harold about his behavioral considerations. During our meet and greet he made sure to get Lion's attention right away and work with him on following commands. He easily shut down any negative behavior without struggle or hesitation. He updated us on how things were going while we were away and it gave us the peace of mind we needed to enjoy our vacation. 10/10 would recommend Harold and use his services again. Knowledgeable about how to handle big dogs and his demeanor lets your pup know someone is in charge even though you are away. Thanks again, Harold!”
About: I’ve been dog sitting for a long time, caring for chihuahuas all the way to Italian mastiffs. I am more than willing to adapt to the individual needs of the pet. I am a college student on summer break, so I am available anytime during the day. I am a very flexible and active person. I can take dogs out for walks, tire them out, or just sit with them. I can take your dog on a walk near your house, a trail, or park. I can keep them company and wear them out in the backyard or inside if needed. I can work wherever is convenient for the owner and the animal!
About: Lifelong animal lover with experience across the board—big dogs, small pups, cats, and even birds. I’ve had mastiffs, raised kittens, and now live with a pint-sized Papillon. I’m flexible, observant, and genuinely enjoy getting to know each pet’s unique personality. I am in the fortunate position to control my schedule, so when there is a furry friend that I have booked- I am able to make sure I will be there. I care for pets in their home environment to help them feel safe and relaxed while you’re away. I follow your instructions closely—whether that’s feeding, walks, meds, crate routines, or just keeping them company. My goal is to keep their routine consistent and stress-free, and I’m happy to send updates so you stay in the loop!

About: I grew up with cats and dogs, and currently have a cat of my own. I have been taking care of pets for friends and family (and the occasional job) for roughly 10 years now. I am most comfortable with cats and dogs, but I have experience with chickens, guinea pigs, and fish as well. I am comfortable taking care of just about any animal if given directions. Please don’t hesitate to reach out and ask :) I finished school, but do not start my professional job until the fall! Therefore I am very flexible and I can accommodate whatever schedule you need your pet to be on. I do not host pets because I have a cat of my own, but at a client’s house, I am more than happy to do whatever makes them feel comfortable in terms of safety, trust, etc. I will do any number of check in’s with you (ex. send a picture of your pet once a day, once a visit, text you updates only if needed). Unless explicitly stated by the client (ex. “you can help yourself to anything in the fridge”), I treat their home as I would a workplace- come in to do my job, dont interfere with anything that does not directly have to do with that. If there is anything else you have questions about in this area, please ask!
About: I've been taking care of dogs and cats since I was a kid. I used to take care of neighbor's pets when they would go out of town and have had my own animals for as long as I can remember. I make my own schedule, therefore, I can easily fit pet care into my day to day life. Whether it be in the morning before my appointments start, in between appointments, or at the end of the day, I can make it work. I give my personal pets lots of attention, taking them on many walks and giving them lots of love! I love going on walks and spending quality time with animals.

Michael W.
“Not the best at these things but here you go. I've used Mike or Dante what he prefers to be called for several years and for that time he was my dogs best friend. My dogs at first had to sort him out like they do everyone but by the second meeting they ran to him and even scratch at the door when he leaves. He use to scratch their backs and play with their toys and they loved that! He also fed them on time, sent pics and even fell asleep around them if they got nervous like around NYE. He alerted me of weird behavior one time and although it was actually something very small I liked he noticed. Dante is a big guy but trust me he also has a big heart and big personality. Sometimes I didn't know who's having more fun running around my yard playing haha I mean that as a compliment. I trusted him and with my house dogsitting and highly recommend him.”
Anna M.
“Anna is truly exceptional when it comes to caring for pets. I've seen firsthand how she goes above and beyond to ensure their happiness and well-being. Whether it's providing a balanced diet, ensuring they get plenty of exercise, or simply showering them with affection, Anna's dedication shines through. What sets Anna apart is her attention to detail. She notices even the slightest changes in their behavior or health, promptly addressing any concerns with a vet. Her home is always clean and safe, creating a comfortable environment for her furry friends. It's clear that she considers her pets as family members, and they, in turn, adore her. I wholeheartedly recommend Anna to anyone seeking a responsible and loving pet caregiver. Her passion, combined with her practical knowledge, makes her an ideal choice for ensuring your beloved companions receive the best possible care.”

“Ken was an absolutely amazing cat sitter for my two cats! We have hired him multiple times and he did a great job! He sent daily updates with photos of our cats and not only fed our cats but also stayed to play/ cuddle with them. He was also patient enough to get our super skittish to cuddle with him! Just an overall amazing person and pet sitter, 10/10 would recommend!!!”

I completely trust her...she even has a key to my house!”
