“Highly Professional! Everything was clean and my cats were well taken care of. She was great with exotics and very comfortable with animals many feel very intimidated by. Very easy going and followed instructions perfectly. Am excited to find someone I can count on!”
“Belinda was great! We are always hesitant to leave our cat. He’s terrified of everything and everyone but Belinda had him in her lap loving him by the 2nd day. We will definitely have her take care of our baby anytime we leave him.”

“Sarah is great! I am a repeat customer. I highly recommend her. My kitty is very well taken care of by Sarah when I travel, she is communicative, caring and trustworthy.”
About: I’m retired and have been a dog owner for over 25 years. Raised a kitten and puppies, as well as adopted our current golden retriever. When caring for friends dogs and yours it’s my priority to care for them as my own and better. I’m currently retired and just looking for a fun flexible activity for a little extra money. I’m very flexible with days and hours. Would love to meet you and your pet(s). We currently have a 5.6 year old female golden retriever. She is very friendly and loves to have a dog pal around. We also have an indoor male Siberian orange cat. He gets along well with dogs. We have a large enclosed lanai for outside time, but not a fenced yard. I take our dog out for potty breaks and 2 walks a day.
“Eric was very responsive; we needed help on short notice and she answered the bell. She is reliable and prompt. We got daily pictures each visit and coordination of changes mid-stream was easy. Would definitely recommend Erica.”
“Robin was the perfect petsitter for my cat! She sent me photos each time she dropped by and let me know how my kitty was doing -- whether she was eating well, being playful or cuddly, etc. I was nervous at first because this was my first time letting my baby be home alone for so long, but Robin's care quickly assuaged my nerves. I would definitely book her again! :)”
About: I’ve been around dogs my whole life - we’ve never not had a dog in our home!! I truly believe dogs make us better people, and I am passionate about helping make sure they have the best life possible! I also enjoy running, so if your dog enjoys some extra cardio, I’ve got you covered!! I have experience with puppies all the way up to senior dogs, and have administered medication (currently have to administer pill health medication for my dog). Rescues have a special place in my heart (we currently own a shepherd mix🩷) and have been around dogs that require a bit more care. I can’t wait to hang out with your pup soon!! I currently work part time as a volleyball coach during the evenings, so I have lots of time during the day to hang out with your fur babies!! I’m available between 8am-3pm Monday - Friday (after school drop off and before school pick ups). I am also available some weekends, depending on if we have any tournaments! If you need weekend care in addition to week days, feel free to message me and I can check my schedule! 🤗 Whatever schedule your pet follows, you can rest assured we will keep that same schedule/routine during the day! Whether it’s refilling water or food bowls, making sure leashes and collars are clean and put back in place, and disposing of poop bags properly, you will be able to come home to everything back in its place and a well exercised/rested pup!!
“Grayson was great with my cats. She fed them and made sure they had water as well as interacted with them. They are a bit shy and she was able to pet them and that really surprised me.”
“Emily did a great job taking care of my two cats while I was on vacation for the week. She kept me updated with pictures which put me at ease while I was away from my babies. She also brought in the mail : ) I appreciate your help Emily! Thank you!”
About: I have taken care of Cats and Dogs my whole life. I have done pet sitting and house sitting for family, friends, and friends of friends for many years. I have even done pet sitting for dogs with special medical needs, and special dietary needs. I work Monday - Thursday 9am to 4pm, however I do have flexibility to come and go during the day if need be. Friday - Monday I can provide 24/7 care for any housesitting, and pet care needs. I can provide around the clock care for your home, and pet Friday - Monday. Your pets, and home safety is my number one priority.
About: I have helped raise and train 4 dogs. I dog sit my parents golden retriever and Bernadoodle anytime they go out of town. I love all animals and would love to take care of them! I currently work the dinner shift at Oso in orange beach. I typically only work 3-9/10 and would be available anytime during the day and can even stop by after I get off for a night walk and treats. I live in an apartment so I am unable to bring in extra pets but can easily adapt to your pets routine in your home.
About: I have had dogs my entire life and would never be able to live without them. I have a very thorough knowledge in dog first aid, training, behavior, and grooming. I have worked at a vet office in the past and have taken of and cared for many special dogs. One of my best friends is a vet so would be able to get care quickly if something were to happen but they are completely safe in my care! You couldn't ask for better care :) I work from home and are able to stay at home with them all day and take them out frequently. I love being outside so whether they just need a short walk or to go on an adventure I'm your gal ! I work from home during the week so am here for any pets needs. I am able to take them outside as often as necessary. I can accommodate most needs a dog would have. I have a small 15 year old sweetheart of a dog. We welcome any non aggressive pet to the house (sorry no cats at this time at my house but happy to take care of them at the owners house.)
About: I have previous experience working as a dog carer/walker for a few years. I have worked with puppies, senior pups and dogs with high anxiety. I believe in giving your pets what they need based on their personalities and energy level. I enjoy observing animal behavior to see what they need and what they don't need. This helps me to train animals by seeing their personalities and what motivates them. With my own pets, I have taught many tricks and have corrected certain behaviors. I have my own dog that I love taking care of. If we are not hiking or going on walks, we are at the dog park! I make sure all pets are fed and given fresh water. I make sure to get their energy out through walks or play and of course lots of affection and love.
About: I will give your pet all the love and snuggles it Desires and playtime will be a blast. I will enjoy it as much as they will. My schedule is open. I am retired. I look forward to meeting you and your Pat and giving you the TLC that you expect from a pet sitter I am very flexible with my time. I have patience and I’m very attentive with your animals. I am very trustworthy. You can depend on me.
