“Beate watched our pets while we were out of town. She communicated well and sent pictures. I know my dog enjoyed the walks and excursions! I’d recommend her to anyone that needs pet services!”


“Sarah was great! She was on time and responds quickly. She communicated well and kept us up to date with how our pups were doing. Came home to a spotless home. We will book Sarah again! Thanks for everything.”

“Bethany provided amazing communication and took super good care of our Minnie! Our house was left clean with a very happy pup waiting for us when we got home. I would trust my home and pup in Bethany’s hands any day.”

“Hilary consistently takes excellent care of Diesel and my home. I travel frequently and she is my go-to first check for a sitter for my old man. The pictures she sends always make me smile when I'm away. Thanks for being so great Hilary!”

“We have two dogs and Joanne took great care of them. Banksy goes to boot camp in two weeks and isn’t the easiest. She stayed with them and made them feel comfortable while communicating with us consistently.”


“Gina was great to work with and did an awesome job. Our two for babies loved her. She is must-have if you bring your babies with you to the beach and need someone to take care of them very well. Thank you Gina.”

“Love, love love her! She took wonderful care of my boys while I was away. She gave me frequent updates on them to help me with my anxiety after leaving them. You won’t be displeased with her care.”

“Grayson was awesome! She truly cares about your pet as if they were her own. Grayson kept us updated with everything and how our Brink was doing. He is a senior dog that requires a lot of attention and care, and Grayson did an excellent job! We will use her anytime we need pet care in the future!”

“Jack did a great job during our Thanksgiving vacation to Idaho. He sent pictures of each time he visited with Ted, feeding, walking and playing fetch. There was daily conversation. He even waved to us through our ring doorbell. Ted was happy and well taken care of in our absence. We would have no problem using Jack again.”

About: Hello! My name is Rachel and I grew up with a cat and 2 dogs in my family. I fostered dogs from the local shelter all throughout college and pet sit for a few neighbors each month. I love animals and would love to help care for yours! Being active and attentive is important to me in caring for your animal. I can walk, play, dog sit, feed and let your furry friends out for you at an affordable price. I have a flexible schedule as well. I have been helping out with my neighbor’s dog for almost a year now so I have a credible reference if needed. I have lots of energy and love for animals so feel free to reach out anytime if you need some care for your pet. Since I work for myself, I have a flexible routine and can be available for regular drop-ins, walks, or extended care depending on what you need. I’m able to schedule visits consistently throughout the day and week, and I’m always focused on keeping pets on their usual routine. I’m based in Gulf Shores and I’m happy to travel to surrounding areas for pet care. I take safety and trust seriously and always care for pets based on their normal routine and your specific instructions. In a client’s home, I make sure doors and gates are securely closed, leashes and harnesses are properly fitted, and pets are supervised during potty breaks and playtime. I keep feeding schedules consistent, refresh water, and keep the space clean (including litter boxes). I’m also mindful of things like heat, sidewalks, and outdoor safety on walks. I’ll send regular updates and photos, and if anything seems off—like changes in appetite, behavior, or energy—I’ll reach out right away.
About: I grew up on a farm and have always had animals and especially dogs and cats. I am a retired nurse and have gone from caring for people to caring for pets. I will love and care for your babies while you are away. I am a retired nurse who has a lot of free time. I have friends who are pet/house sitters. I love animals and I have kept and cared for family and friends pets while owners were away. Never worry about your pets again when you need to be away. I have a golden retriever that has a super sweet disposition and he had been around other pets and plays well with others. I will only care for 1 pet at a time unless pets come from same family.
About: Hi!! I have had animals my WHOLE life, grew up on a farm so I’ve always been around animals. I have a cat that’s declawed and two kiddos in my home that love meeting new friends. I work from home and would love to help others by dog sitting and/or walking. I’m able to take the dogs out first thing in the morning, lunch time, and 2x in the evenings. I do have a fenced yard for the zoomies and a neighborhood with a sidewalk for walks. I look forward to getting to know your family pets and working together :) I take bookings only when I know I will have plenty of time during your pets stay to be sure they’re being walked and supervised while running around the yard. I have a fenced in yard for letting your pets outside and a crate, if your pet is crate trained. I am happy to follow any special instructions that you may have for your pets.
“Bo did a great job with my two dogs and a turtle when I had to go out of town for a few days. She treats them like they are her own pets. She is very kind. She left my house as clean or cleaner than when I left. She is great at communicating and giving updates. I will definitely be using her again!”
“Raylin was amazing! She sat our two pups in our house for almost a week. This was the first time we have left them alone at home this long and she took great care of them. They really took to her. We will definitely reach back out to Raylin when we need a sitter again!”

Graham is amazing! I am very particular about my baby. She exceeded all of my expectations. She arrived on time, sent several photos and took great care of my baby girl. I am so thankful to have found her. I will definitely use her again. I highly recommend her.
