“I’m so thankful for the amazing care Elysa gave my dog, Roxy! 🐾 From the moment they met, I could tell Roxy felt comfortable and happy. Elysa didn’t just pet sit, she went above and beyond. She took Roxy on relaxing strolls, kept me updated with the cutest pictures 📸, and even gave her a little grooming session to keep her looking her best! ✨ I could really tell that Roxy was loved and well cared for the whole time. I highly recommend Elysa to anyone looking for a kind, responsible, and genuinely caring pet sitter. Thank you so much again, Elysa! 🐶💛”


“Amber did great with my Audrey. When I picked her up she was clean and happy. It was clear that Audrey had a good time with Amber and her family. If I’m looking for a Rover in this area again, I will definitely use her again.”


“My dog loves his time at Katherine's. We feel totally at ease knowing he is being well cared for. We love the photos and updates. Thank you Katherine and family!!!”


About: Hi & thank you so much for your consideration! ☺️ We are a family of four with two sweet pups- our Olde English Bulldogge, Diesel & our Goldendoodle, Love. 🐶🐾 We have 2 teenagers who also adore pets & have been great caretakers. My husband & I are home during the day & will be able to give your furry friend the attention & care he/she needs. Your furry friend will be shown lots of love during his/ her stay. We know & understand the importance of not only caring for/ owning a dog, but that dog becoming a part of our family. 🩵💜 We believe in creating a safe & comfortable environment not only for our children, but our dogs as well. Our home is welcoming, fun, laid back, respectful, engaging & full of love. 🩵 No two dogs are alike. While some may need space & others love to be nearby- we will respect what your pup needs to feel at his/ her best. We started dog sitting for friends/family around 14 years ago & have been around dogs our entire lives. Over the years we have gotten to know some pretty amazing pups! 🐾🐶 Our schedules allow us to be home throughout the day to care for/ play with your furry friend. We have experience in giving meds, taking care of older dogs, younger dogs, & basic grooming needs. We know how hard it is to leave our beloved pets when traveling. We are here to make that transition a little easier. The comfort & safety is a top priority. We recommend a meet & greet to ensure both parties feel at ease. ☺️ Our schedules allow us to be home throughout the day & are pretty flexible. Your dog wouldn’t be left alone for an extended period of time( if any at all). Our dogs love to play & go for walks however, are pretty laid back. Our home has low windows that are great for sight seeing. I can take your pup on one walk or multiple walks a day. We have a back deck that is great for the pups to go sunbathing. ☀️ As well as a hammock & covered patio/deck that is fantastic for lounging out of the sun. If your pup prefers to sunbathe indoors- we have French doors where the sun perfectly shines in. ☀️ Our dogs have an open feeding station, however the food can be moved to another location if needed. We are a non- smoking household. We live on several acres tucked away from major roads & our property has a fenced in back yard. Our pups love to sunbathe, cozy up near the couch, lay close to each other & come in for snuggles. They also enjoy playing in the front yard, catching some shade under the trampoline, playing catch, tug a war, or chasing after a cat laser. Our dogs are house trained & use the back door with a bell when they need/ want to go outside. Typically, we don’t allow our dogs on the couch, however, we take into consideration with certain circumstances. Your dog will have freedom to roam around our house & be where we are. We want your pet to feel comfortable & at home in a new space. 🩵 Sleeping arrangements can be discussed as we have a few options.

About: I have worked at a vets office going on 8 years now as a vet technician. I studied animal science at Auburn University. I have dog/cat sat for several years. I work 3rd shift as a supervisor at a processing facility. I work 11:30pm-~7:00am. With my schedule I would still be able to do any morning or night check in you would need. I have 4 dogs that love to have friends to play with. I have a fenced in yard, but walk mine daily. I am a few minutes from Albertville’s Dog Park where my dogs love to go run and play.

“Lindsey and John are fantastic. They went out of their way to send us many updates with pictures and videos while we were out of town! They treated our sweet puppy like she was their own. I recommend John and lindsey to anyone looking for someone to take care of the furry friend! Freya is already missing them!”


About: I started volunteering in animal shelters when I was 17. I was a vet tech and worked at an animal hospital for 5 years. For the last 10 years, I have worked with BHAM Boston Terrier Rescue, AL Boston Terrier Rescue, and now Huntsville Animal Services, fostering Bostons and other breeds of dogs. So, thank you for considering me! I'd be happy to be your pet's home away from home, and I'd take care of them as if they were my own. And believe me, I love my dogs. I do have 3 dogs (Bostons) but they are couch potatoes who also like to play sometimes, and would love to have new couch & play buddies. *Unfortunately at this time, I'm not able to accommodate large dogs / over 40~ lb* I work from home full-time, with the freedom and flexibility to give your pet(s) the attention they deserve. Your pets would not be left alone for more than an hour or two at most if I need to run errands. I also have a 16-year-old daughter in the home who assists me with the animals if needed. I have a fenced yard and plenty of room for your pets to roam. I have extra beds, plenty of toys, and crates if your pet requires them (one large, one medium). I have gated areas for pets to be kept separate if needed. My neighborhood has sidewalks for walks, plus I live near a dog park, and walking trail.

“We left our German Shepherd with Christa and her family over the 4th of July wknd for 5 days. We couldn’t have been more happy with how his stay went. We received pictures and updates daily. We know Kane had a great time with her & the kids. They were very kind and welcoming when we arrived, we knew as soon as we dropped him off that he was in great hands! Highly recommend :)”


About: I don’t know life without a dog (or multiple) and I wouldn’t have it any other way! I have 2 fur babies of my own and they are my best friends. I have lots of experience with younger dogs but can accommodate to any needs, breed, and age! I have lots of free time to give your baby the love and attention they need☺️ I’m a stay at home wife-soon to be mom-and full time student so most of my time is spent at home. I have plenty of free time for walks and play time! I have a large backyard for playing (although not fenced) and 2 pups of my own if your fur babe likes to socialize. I also have a spacious house than can accommodate any sized dog and plenty of room for an extra crate

“Amber was fantastic! My dog Nora really enjoyed her time with Amber and her family. Amber's communication was excellent—she was quick to respond and kept me updated with photos and messages throughout the stay. It's clear that Amber genuinely loves caring for animals, and I felt completely at ease knowing Nora was in such great hands. I will definitely be reaching out to Amber again the next time I need a dog sitter. Highly recommend!”


About: With years of hands-on experience caring for dogs of all shapes and sizes, I've turned my deep love for animals into something truly personal. From playful pups to seasoned seniors, I've mastered the art of tail wags, belly rubs, and understanding each pet's unique personality. Whether it's daily routine, special needs, or those little quirks only a true pet lover would notice-I treat every furry friend like family. I work Mon - Thurs 8am-4pm and Friday 8am-2pm. If you need boarding, check ins or walking during these times please message me and other arrangements can be made if necessary. I work within 10 mins of my home and take an hour lunch break daily. I have a fenced in backyard and 3 fur babies of my own to play with your pups. I can also offer crating if you would prefer, but in our house all pups are free to roam and get in the beds and on furniture.


“Bobby was terrific with our dog, Schatze. He was very good with caring, feeding him and taking daily photos of our lil guy. He even bathed him to ensure his cleanliness when we picked him up. Would strongly recommend Bobby for boarding, walking, caring for your pet (s).”

My dog absolutely loves to go over to her house and is always super excited when we arrive to see her. Carley also has a fenced in yard which makes it really nice when our dog needs to go to the bathroom. We highly recommend Carley and her dog sitting services!!”
