House Sitting in Guntersville

About: My family and I have been raising dogs my entire life (mom was a vet assistant for 20 years), but I have also raised cats, rats, fish, birds, ferrets, bunnies, and even one gecko! I have previously worked at a canine services kennel that boarded pet dogs as well as specialty service dogs (ie. bomb sniffers). I currently have one fur-baby at home, she is a 3-legged dog I rescued who has a birth defect, was emaciated, and riddled with parasites, including heart worm. These days, though, she is perfectly healthy, happy, and weighs a solid 35 lbs. Her name is Dee Dee. We are always careful to lock doors, pick up items off the floor, and we never travel anywhere without our leash and (if possible) harness.

“Theresa is an exceptional sitter. I don’t trust My Athanasious with anyone else but Her. She takes care of My Baby by loving Him and playing with Him. I can check up on Him and I see how She loves Him. He really loves Her, She treats Him as Her own. I don’t like anyone touching Him. I trust Theresa with My baby because He Loves Her and animals know good people.”

“Morgan did an amazing job with my girls! She sent me updates with photos everyday! She allowed them to stay up way past their bedtimes to watch tv with her. Which they loved! I wouldn’t hesitate to book with Morgan again and would highly recommend her to anyone looking for someone to love their pet a little extra while they are out of town. I was always worried to leave my girls with someone in the past but Morgan completely set my mind at ease. I can’t thank her enough for being so sweet to them! My first experience with Morgan and Rover was a success! Mary Griffith”

“Daniel was awesome! Great communication and provided photos. This was our first time using Rover and we were nervous leaving our boy. Cash loved him and we got to enjoy our getaway a little less worried. We came home to a clean house and a happy boy. We will definitely use Daniel again.”

“I have known Annie for over 16 years during which she helped care for my beloved Harley cat. I have also observed her with her own pets and can attest to her loving and caring manner with animals. She is a trustworthy and reliable caretaker.”

“I suffer from anxiety and have always had a fear of leaving my dogs. I was totally at peace leaving my fur babies with Lucie, even the first visit. She absolutely listens and takes note when I explain my dog’s quirky behaviors. She actually got my skittish rescue to walk on a leash with her. (This is rare) Lucie’s combination of kind heart and talent for perfection makes a pet owner comfortable with leaving home. We already have her lined up for next week.”

“Debra stayed in my home and took care of our 5 year old Springer. She was easy to communicate with, sent us lots of updates and photos, and took great care of the dog and the house. By the time I came home, even the linens on the bed were washed and changed, and it was like she hadn't been there at all! I will definitely use Debra again and wouldn't hesitate to recommend her!”

About: Hi, my name is Halee! I am a Huntsville native- and have been pet sitting/house sitting for over 10 years. I began my business due to the flexibility in my schedule and my love for animals. I work as physical therapist but still want to serve my furry friends! I am available all day on weekends, all hours, in both in Grant and Madison. I can make visits in Madison M-F after 6 pm and before 9am. Part of my services is ensuring that both your pets and home are cared for. I often will check my clients mail, water plants, and always ensure all doors are locked. I care for my client’s homes/pets the way I would want mine taken care of!

“Brittany did a great job watching our dogs. They had so much fun. She sent us a lot of photos and updates. Will use again!”

“Makaylah has lots of experience with taking care of animals, including her own and others. She would be a great choice to watch your lovable pets. I trust her 100% to watch my dog and I assure you that she can be trusted with yours.”

“Really knows how to treat dogs! True pro! She has a gift. Knows how to treat a dog really well. Perfect for the job . I'm sure she'd do just fine. I used to trust her with mine!”

“Daisy was a pleasure; she was dependable and took good care of our puppies. It was amazing how the puppies took to her and her daughter when she first arrived. The dogs certainly know who they trusted. We are very happy and would recommend Daisy. We will certainly use her again. Thank you Daisy, we really appreciate you! .”

About: I have three dogs and two cats. I have raised different types of animals from birth and as adults such as puppies, kittens, chickens, and baby goats. I am a full time dog trainer so mornings are typically better and my days off from there are Monday and Thursday normally are my days off. I have a fenced in yard that my dogs can run in but they are also crate trained and I have 3 different size crates if ever needed to borrow or bring with me.

“Katie was fantastic! She took amazing care of our boys and kept us updated with photos l. She was communicative and was quick to let us know if things changed. Our boys were definitely spoiled and loved.”

“Melinda has always been very loving and responsible with all of my animals. Anytime I've needed her to watch my pets she's always been happy to help!”

“Quick response to request and goes above and beyond to accommodate the customer.”

About: I’m very proficient in animal husbandry and training as I’ve been around horses and dogs my whole life, I have also volunteered at many facilities including Veterinary offices and attended 4 years of Vet assisting in high school as well as participating in FFA and being exposed to all different kinds of animals. One of my previous jobs was at a dog daycare/ boarding and training facility where we not only ensured the dogs enjoyment and safety but aided in the training of client dogs as well as our rescues under our head dog trainer. About 2 years ago I worked in Grooming as a bather dealing with a variety of dogs daily and having to handle difficult cases while completing their grooming process. I currently own and run my own Dog Training Business, where I work with everything from puppy basics, to behavioral modification, to service dog training. My goal is to keep your safe but give them the exercise and socialization they need but the fun they crave. I myself have 3 dogs of different breeds, one is a Cannan mix, and 2 Belgian Malinois. I’m experienced with dogs at all stages of life and development, as well as dogs with behavioral issues and keeping everyone involved safe. I’m working to build my business after we recently moved to the Huntsville area so I can easily work around my current schedule to help with your pets needs. I give frequent updates to clients and try to answer any and all questions they have along with giving piece of mind and following their pets normal routines as closely as possible. I offer a lot of enrichment and mental stimulation as well as socialization when possible. I’m a dog groomer who works part time which allows me to make my own schedule and fit my clients pet care needs on a case by base basis. Safety and animal welfare is my number one priority. We operate so that every person and dog are as safe as possible in any given situation by utilizing double leashes, crating, continuous supervision, and any other safety tools needed.

“My daughter Whitney is a wonderful and caring person with animals she has watched my pets many times as I went out of town. She updates me and send photos of them I love it! She has always had such a passion for it.”

“So happy with the way Lisa took care of our puppies. She did a wonderful job. Felt very comfortable leaving them with her at our home. So much more relaxing for Dougal and Boo. Many thanks.”

About: I got my first pet at 10, and he recently passed. I’ve been looking for a job that I can enjoy. I’m great with all pets and currently have a cat too! I take care of my family pets when I need to and care for my cat daily. It’s no hassle for me to take care of someone else’s pet and I do not have to rush! I would meet any requirements that a client needs when offering an overnight service or just walking a dog without hesitating! I understand the standards people have for their pets.
