“Thank you Rover for Leah, she came to meet our outside ? and feed her, of course we knew they were not going to cross paths, because wild kitties are just that way, skiddish and shy, although our kitty is loving and allows us to pet her, Leah did much to try and lure kitty with her favorite food and water, not a chance?. But the elusive creature had Leah in her sight "?. We are sure she was eating every day?, because Leah was keeping us informed. Once we got home, the fluffy purring machine came lovingly? to greet us. So very thankful to Leah, she is caring! and we will be calling on ya'll and her again in the future. Mark & Irma”
About: I have over 13 years of experience caring for both dogs and cats. Growing up with pets, I developed a lifelong love for animals and have consistently provided pet-sitting services throughout the years. I treat every pet as if they were my own, ensuring they receive plenty of attention, affection, and care. Since moving to Florida, I haven’t had the space to have a pet of my own, which makes every opportunity to care for your furry family members especially meaningful to me. I truly enjoy spending time with animals and would love the chance to provide a safe, loving, and fun environment for your pets while you’re away. I am currently not working because I will be starting a welding program in Virginia at the end of July. Until then, I have a very flexible schedule and am available throughout the day, including mornings, afternoons, evenings, and weekends. This allows me to give your pets the time, attention, and care they deserve while you’re away. Your pet’s safety, comfort, and happiness are always my top priorities. Whether I am caring for your pet in my home or yours, I make sure they stick to their normal routine as closely as possible, including feeding schedules, walks, playtime, and any special care instructions you provide. I take the time to get to know each pet’s personality and needs so they feel comfortable and secure while you’re away. I maintain a clean and safe environment, keep a close eye on pets during walks and outdoor activities, and ensure they always have access to fresh water and plenty of attention. I also believe communication is important, so I provide regular updates, photos, and messages to give you peace of mind while your furry family member is in my care. I treat every pet as if they were my own and strive to make their time with me as stress-free and enjoyable as possible.
About: I currently have two cats so I have lots of experience with cats. I also have experience watching dogs, big or small. I’ve watched dogs on an off again for my friends and neighbors. I am very good an when it comes to strict schedules. I have experience giving medication as well. I would love to have the chance to care for you loved pets and give them just as much love as you have. I do work night shift of the weekends but I am free on weekdays all day. And I can also come during the day on weekends a couple times before I go into work. Due to me having cats at my home I will not be offering at home services because I do not want to stress your animal out as well as mine.
About: I have experience caring for dogs of all ages, from puppies to adults. I’ve had dogs of my own and regularly cared for my brother’s dogs while he was a breeder, giving me hands-on experience with puppies and adult dogs. Most of my experience is with French Bulldogs, Cane Corsos, and Boston Terriers. I’m patient, attentive, and treat every pet like my own. I am currently a full-time freshman at UAB, but my weekly schedule has consistent gaps that allow me to provide dependable and attentive care for your pets. I am experienced with maintaining pet routines and can easily accommodate drop-in visits, walks, and feedings during my regular availability: Mondays and Wednesdays from 1:30 PM to 2:30 PM and after 4:30 PM; Tuesdays and Thursdays from 10:00 AM to 12:00 PM and after 3:15 PM; Fridays from 12:15 PM to 2:15 PM and after 3:20 PM; and open availability all day on Saturdays and Sundays. I believe every pet is different, so I don’t treat every pet the same. I take the time to learn their personality, routines, and comfort level so they feel safe and cared for. I’m gentle, attentive, and respectful of each pet’s needs while making sure their environment stays clean and secure.
About: I have had 2 dogs for six years and have raised them and taken care of them since they were 12 weeks old. I rescued my cat, Casper, when he was 8 months old. I adore cats very much. I am equipped to handle whatever challenges your animals may have. I am not scared of dogs even if they growl, bark, or nip for most animals it is normal to be a little scared when introduced to new people. I am very gentle when approaching and getting to know new animals no matter what they may be. Animals have always been therapeutic and a safe place for me in many ways. Often I care about animals more than I care about myself and the same value will always go for your pet. When I am in charge of making sure your pet is well, that is my number 1 priority. I am a college student which does mean my schedule may be a little full/hectic sometimes but I will never commit to a responsibly that I know I can’t do to my absolute best ability. I feed my cat whenever his food bowl is empty since he does not overeat I do not have him on a strict eating schedule. I also refill his water bowl whenever empty. I clean his litter box every other day and change the litter every 2-3 weeks. I feed the dogs and give the dogs water as well as let them out. I walk the dogs in the evening. I cuddle with all of our animals through out the day to show them how loved they are. I will feed, water, and give as much affection as I can to whatever animal I am assigned to. I will play with them and care for them as if they are my own. I will hang out with them and just chill so they know they are not alone.

About: I’ve been around cats and dogs my entire life and have always enjoyed caring for animals. I regularly pet sit my friend Josh’s three cats when he’s away, making sure they’re fed, comfortable, and receiving plenty of attention. I also frequently care for my girlfriend’s dog, so I’m experienced with the day-to-day responsibilities that come with caring for dogs. Growing up with multiple cats and dogs has taught me how important patience, consistency, and attention to each pet’s individual personality can be. I understand that every animal has different routines and comfort levels, and I take the time to make sure they feel safe and relaxed. When your pet is in my care, my priority is providing a safe, comfortable, and welcoming environment where they can feel at home. I’ll treat your pet with the same care and attention I would want for my own. I’m trying to make Rover my main job. So my schedule is pretty open at all times! Besides Rover. I produce music for clients. I will follow your instructions while in your home! Make sure they are fed properly and taken out on time! In my home, I try to mirror how you prefer things done in your home! I can crate them if needed.

About: I’m an educator, dad, and lifelong pet owner with more than 20 years of experience caring for animals. Pets have always been part of my family, so I understand that trusting someone with yours is a big deal. I’m patient, attentive, dependable, and comfortable following established routines for feeding, walks, playtime, medications, and all the little things that help a pet feel safe and comfortable. As an early childhood professor, caregiving, observation, communication, and responsibility are quite literally part of what I do every day. I’ll care for your pet with the same attention and affection I expect for my own. As a university professor, my schedule offers more flexibility than a traditional 9-to-5, particularly on certain weekdays, evenings, and weekends. I’m also a dad, so planning, routines, and being dependable are already a big part of my life! I’m happy to coordinate care around your pet’s normal schedule whenever possible and will always be upfront about my availability before accepting a booking. I know pets are family, and I treat both your pet and your home with that level of care and respect. I follow your instructions closely, maintain established feeding, walking, medication, and bedtime routines, and pay attention to changes in behavior or appetite. I’m patient about letting pets warm up to me at their own pace and prioritize safety at all times. You can also expect dependable communication and updates while you’re away. I know how reassuring it is to know that someone you love is happy, safe, and well cared for.
About: My love for dogs started at age 7 when I got my first dog, and I've never looked back.

This can be helpful if you have a new pet or routine you want to go over with your sitter.
Meet & Greets can take place in person or virtually. If you are booking with a sitter for the first time, we recommend in-person Meet & Greets to get a clearer sense of how your sitter interacts with your pet or the new environment.
During the Meet & Greet, you will have a chance to walk through your pet's routine, medical needs, and unique quirks. Take the time to ask your sitter questions about their skills and expertise, and make sure the fit feels right for everyone.
