“Whitney treated Penny with care and kindness, and sent pictures throughout the day. Penny and her dogs got along and played well together. Whitney made Penny feel comfortable and we will be utilizing her services in the future when we go out of town.”


“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!”


“Anna watched BJ for us during the tornado scare while we were in LA. I was so worried not being able to be with my dog in such scary weather. Anna kept us updated and truly treated BJ as one of her own. That really let me know that we will probably never use another sitter unless she is unavailable because she really does love the animals she watches. We can’t thank you enough Anna, you rock!!”


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.

“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.”


“Chelsea was the best sitter! She was well prepared for Queen’s stay with her and even had extra bedding, toys, and supplies that would be needed for her stay if I had forgotten to pack something. Chelsea my mind at ease by sending me pictures and giving me updates about Queen throughout her stay. When we got home yesterday, Queen slept all night until I woke her up this morning. We will definitely use Chelsea’s services again!”


“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 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.

“Bailey’s stay with Morgan was FABULOUS! I volunteer for Lost Dogs Illinois so I know firsthand how many dogs are lost when with a sitter. Morgan was super patient with my many questions and happily allowed a meet and greet in advance of Bailey’s stay so I could see her home and yard. When we arrived for Bailey’s stay, Mason and Morgan had it planned very carefully for a safe introduction to another dog staying with them and their dog, Tug. During her stay, Bailey enjoyed playing with Tug and the other pup visiting. Morgan sent me photo and video updates and was always super speedy in her responses to my texts. I could not be happier with Bailey’s stay with Morgan, Mason, and Tug. I’m sure she’ll be back with Morgan when we visit our Bama student again in the future.”


“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!!!!”


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!

“Larissa took care of our dog Jace for three days. On the first day, she texted me to let me know that Jace was acting nervous around the other dogs. She told me that she is giving him all the extra love and attention that she can! She did this while caring for the other dogs and her newborn baby. Larissa even gave Jace a bath after he threw up on himself. Larissa sent me pictures of Jace cuddling with her and her mom during the trip and put me at ease about his anxiety. Jace finally felt comfortable and began to relax and started playing with the other dogs. I highly recommend Larissa and will book her again. THANK YOU LARISSA!!”


“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.”


About: I’ve been caring for dogs as long as I can remember. They were always my best friends and so loving. It just came natural to care for them. I give plenty of time for play, walks, and fun with your fur baby. I only work a few hours a day. I am available most weekends as well. I have a great neighborhood to take walks. The dog park is close by as well and easily accessible. Our family loves dogs so there would be lots of hugs and attention!

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.
