“I can’t say enough great things about Rachel! They took amazing care of our Miniature Dachshund, Ollie, while we were in town for the Supercross race. It was clear from the start that she truly loves and understands dogs. Ollie was happy, well-cared for, and I received regular updates, which gave me complete peace of mind. Finding someone you can trust with your pet is priceless, and I’m so grateful to have found Rachel. Wished we lived closer so I could continue to use her services. She has the sweetest little family too. We Highly recommend!!!”


“My little one is just 2 mos old. I was so happy to find Selena. Not only was she extremely loving to my Romeo but was also accommodating with adjustments needed to my booking. MOST OF ALL - Romeo loved her, I could tell he was in good care and in a safe environment. Thank you Selina.”


“Sarah was wonderful! She responded promptly and her home was perfect for Moose. She has a fenced yard, which I know Moose loved. He must have played with the other puppers a lot, because he slept the entire 5 hour drive back home. Thank you so much! Will definitely rebook if we are ever back in the area :)”


“Dave and his family (including his canine kiddos!) were AMAZING! I cannot speak highly enough or give enough kudos and praise! Dave was an excellent communicator; he was warm, welcoming, and caring. My little guy was happy and excited to see Dave’s pups and Dave, and to me, says everything I need to know!”


“Max had an awesome time at doggy day care with Daniel and Angela while I was working out of state! 🐾 Their home is so warm and welcoming—it’s the perfect pup retreat. They treated Max like one of their own and sent us thoughtful updates throughout the day (which totally made my day!). Max was all smiles when we picked him up and seemed pretty proud of himself for making new buddies—Barley and Greta, their two sweet terriers. They even let us know how much he ate, which this dog mom really appreciated. 10/10 would book again—Max gives them two paws up! 🐶💛”



“Thanks so much, Paul! What a life saver! I am extremely protective about my baby. Nevertheless, Paul gave me peace of mind. Thank you for the updates and pictures throughout the day. I know that Jade had a good time. I definitely recommend his services.”


About: I’m Jessica! Sitter and caregiver to your pets! I also do short term fostering and am a cat kennel assistant volunteer at the Greater Birmingham Humane Society. My husband and I have two dogs, Maki (Brindle Belgian Malinois mix) & Turbo (American Staffordshire Terrier/Black Lab mix) who are sweet, goofy, smart babies. Totally spoiled! Many of the pet pics are with my husband, Joe, bc I never get good ones of myself apparently ha. Not only did I grow up in a pet loving family that allowed me to get to know and love many different breeds and types of fur babies, but I have been trusted to pet sit by friends, neighbors, and relatives many many times over the years. Several of the photos up are of foster pups and of some I’ve rescued. Some of my skills include potty training, social training, aggression correction with puppies, recognizing early illness symptoms and care. I’m trained to watch, recommend and act when medical treatment is needed. I also have experience administering oral, topical, and injectable medications with dogs and cats. I live in a neighborhood perfect for walking your pup. I also enjoy hiking the trails at ruffner mountain. I offer cuddles and companionship for the pup or kitty that prefers laps and affection over walks or hikes. I don’t mind sitting at my home or yours. I stay home and have a very flexible schedule. This allows me to give a lot of attention to your pet and accommodate most plans! Respect to pets in their home is always given on my part. It’s your pets home and they should always feel safe! I will listen to the guidelines you give me and do my absolute best to be a trusted safe space person to your pet. I’ll spend as much time as your pet needs! I have a fenced back yard and two friendly pups that love to play. I also have indoor crates for mine and guests to be safely separated.

“Wonderful interaction with Aimee. She was incredibly nice and easy to communicate with. Our pup had a great time hanging with her. She sent us pics and updates. We'll definitely use Aimee's services again!”

I do not have any other jobs that would limit me and what I can do with your fur baby. When I care for pets in my home or someone else’s, I make sure they have fresh water, healthy food, and a clean, safe environment at all times. I always follow the owner’s instructions, including feeding schedules and any medical routines like giving medication.

I also pay close attention to their behavior and watch for any signs of stress or illness, and I communicate any concerns right away. Most importantly, I treat every pet with kindness and respect, just like I would with my own.

About: I'd love to care for your pet! While here, they will have access to their own room (away from my personal pets), which they will stay in overnight and any time I am out of the house. Otherwise, they can hang out with my pets as much (or as little) as they want - always with my supervision. My own dog is shy and nervous, so I am happy to accommodate your dog's particular needs if they also are nervous with new people. I am at home all day, other than stepping out to run errands/socialize. I can provide potty breaks as often as you'd like and build your pet's schedule into my day/week. I can do drop-in visits and walks any time of day and play with your pet as long as you'd like. I have a small, fenced in yard (but your pet will always be supervised outside). I have a 31 pound female dog who is good with cats and small dogs. I also have a cat, who mostly keeps to himself. Our neighborhood is quiet and safe, with sidewalks on all streets. While here, your pet will have access at all times to their own private room (normal bedroom with windows) if they want to have their own space away from my pets, or if I am not at home to supervise them.

I can take pets on potty breaks whenever needed, I can travel and take my work to other locations, and I have lots of time to entertain your sweet pets even when I’m working.

There’s never any issues if we have to drop off early or pick up a few minutes later. Her home is warm and dog happy and it’s so comforting to know our doggies are in such good hands.

As an overbearing pet owner, I always gave her a long list of instructions and she followed them all! I could tell from her texts and photos that she really loved my cat, and my cat always seemed content and not stressed out when I returned home. Tiffany is extremely sweet, conscientious, and trustworthy. I highly recommend her!”
