About: I'm the foster coordinator at an animal shelter and I have experience training and dog sitting senior dogs, puppies, and special needs/disabled dogs! I also have experience cat sitting underage kittens who needed to be bottle fed! I worked as a doggy daycare attendee for 7 months and have more than a year experience volunteering at New Hope Animal Rescue Center. I'm very passionate about dogs and cats and love to study their behavior, health and nutrition! ❤ I work full time as a foster coordinator but can check on your precious furbabies anytime before I go into work at 9:00AM or when I get done after 5:00PM! If you live nearby enough I may also be able to check on your furbabies during my lunch break, shoot me a message and we'll sort it out! ☺️💕💕 I always make sure to respect an animal's personal space and boundaries by reading their body language to understand how they're feeling. I will do everything I can to ensure your pet feels safe and comfortable with me. ❤
“Britt was amazing and patient with our senior, skittish, giant breed dogs! I cannot say enough nice things about her wonderful photos, updates, personality and obvious love and care for our animals and will be using her each and every time we need a dog sitter. We’re new to the area and were very nervous about finding a new “person” for our dogs but Britt really went above and beyond this Christmas for our old ladies. Love her to pieces!”

“Jasmine was great and available to help when we had to go out of town last minute. The pups loved her and she took great care of our fur babies and gave us updates on the pups!”

About: I've taken care of dogs & cats for as long as I can remember. We keep our pets until they pass that rainbow bridge. I am very reliable and will always send updated photos every time I am with your pet to remind you they are in good hands. I am also experienced with large breeds and the tiniest of pets! Located in Petal, near the Library area 😊 Early mornings before school, or in the evenings are great as well. I usually sit outside with a cup of coffee in the morning so they can run around, then in the evening the door is open with free roam to come in & out. If care is done in my home we have a fenced-in covered fence backyard and two of our own dogs to play with. I also have two playful children who can play fetch for hours! If care is done in your home depending on being watched in a fenced backyard or on a leash. Your dog will be watched and given the attention they deserve.
“Alexandra was great and kept our two pups happy, exercised and safe along with caring for home with care. We also appreciated the daily updates and “proof of life” pictures she shared.”

About: I have had animals my whole life including exotics such as birds and ferrets. I started rescuing an array of different breeds of dogs around 3 years ago and found that it suited me well. I have a special place in my heart for animals as they have no one to advocate for them! I am a single mother of two children and we have 3 dogs of our own. 1 is a rescue and 1 is special needs plus we have a new foster! I bought a small house here in Tuscaloosa to fix up overtime and I believe we have the yard ready to allow us to be pet sitters. Feel free to contact for more details and book a stay with us! Thank You Katherine A. This is a joint team between myself and my daughter Zoey. She is 15 and is the primary caretaker of our clients animals! Thanks in advance We treat any of our clients animals as we would we would love and treat our own! There is no exception to this rule! Thanks! I work 7am-3pm and can do routine visits,in home sitting,walks etc. all I need is a schedule from my fur parents and we are set! I’m going to treat your animals with the same care I treat my own to your specifications in all of your babies needs. You tell me how you care for them and I’ll do it just that way!

About: Pets tend to feel comfortable around me quickly, and I genuinely enjoy building trust with each animal I care for. I have a deep love for all animals and take the time to play with them, give them attention, and make sure they feel safe and cared for. I focus on understanding each pet’s personality and needs so I can provide patient, attentive, and loving care that feels like home. Pet care fits naturally into my weekly routine. I’m a student at USM with Mondays fully open and most of Wednesdays available, which allows me to dedicate quality time to pet care. While Tuesdays and Thursdays are busier due to school, I still plan my schedule carefully to ensure pets receive consistent attention and care. I stay active and work out 3–5 days a week, so walks, playtime, and light cardio with dogs fit perfectly into my lifestyle. When caring for pets in a client’s home, I focus on both engagement and safety. I make sure pets get plenty of playtime and activity while also keeping a close eye on them to ensure they are safe, comfortable, and stress-free. I follow the pet’s routine closely, provide attention and companionship, and make sure their needs are met at all times.
About: I was a dolphin trainer for 7 years and have had dogs my whole life! I have experience with training animals and boarding them as well. I am a stay at home mom of an adorable 14 month old baby so I have LOTS of time on my hands. I also have a one year old puppy that I take care of as well. I live 5 minutes from the dog park and try to take my dog there daily. If I can’t make it to the park I will walk him around my apartment complex. We are a very pet friendly home!
“Kirsten house sat and did so well with our pets! She was reliable and there when she said she would be there. She also seemed to be knowledgeable with the care given to the animals! Would use her again!”


About: I can't currently have a pet because I'm moving soon, but I love them so much. I technically have 5: 3 cats, 2 dogs. I am very active and I love hiking and walking and nature so this gives me another excuse to be outside AND with a buddy!! I have a very flexible schedule. I am currently between jobs and looking for part time. I'm independent, have a car, and am willing to drive the extra mile if people need. I understand being busy and needing a helping hand. As long as there is strong communication and set guidelines for how your pet needs to be cared I should always be able to deliver.
About: Volunteering in animal shelters, fostering, and independent animal rescue work has given me years of experience in animal behavior and care. I live on a 7 acre rural homestead with lots of room to walk dogs. We do not have a fence so visiting dogs will always be on leash. I have a large room set aside as my petsitting room so that your pet can move around freely and we can have plenty of room to play and snuggle. My personal pets love other animals and are always up to date on vetting, so if they are compatible, they are more than welcome to romp and play with my fun crew! I currently work from home as a part time tutor and homesteader, so I am available to give your pets all the attention they need. Pet care is personalized. I will discuss your animals’ needs with you and we will determine what will work best for them in the way of living and sleeping arrangements. I’m very flexible and want what is best for your fur baby. Pet care is already a staple in my daily life. I'm a nurturer by nature. I often drive transports with 40+ dogs and cats cross country to their adopters and have to care for them all! I have one rescue dog who is very timid and dog friendly. She sometimes comes with me when I dogsit and sometimes stays at home with my partner, just depending on the situation.
About: I love all pets like they are my own. My kids and dog love pets. We love outdoors and would love to give my kids more experience with other animals outside of our own. I am available almost everyday all day long. When I need to run out for usually no more than an hour. I am just a loving pet owner that would like to help bring in additional income while having fun and spending time with my family. I can not wait to meet your dog and love on them. All animals must show proof of vaccinations being up to date. As well as be on flea, tick, and heart worm prevention. I work from home right now with plenty of free time to come to play with your fur babies. I can house sit every other weekend. Willing to come to you or pet whenever needed to assist in all daily activities. Also willing to house sit in your home if needed.
About: I’ve cared for pets (dogs, cats & more!) for almost my entire life. I understand that pets are family & deserve the best! I am able to provide sitting/check-ins/walking/feeding/bathing and giving medication! I also have a relatively open schedule! I am available most days, my work schedule is pretty flexible! I mainly work weekends, but still have solid times during those days to help if any pets need check-ins, feedings, or walks! I have three indoor cats & a puppy! All are unique and have different needs, so I am familiar with most types of care! Routine is important in my pet’s lives, so I would take a client’s care schedule as serious as my own!
About: I’ve always had animals growing up. I was the one to take care of the family pets. I was the one in the neighborhood to ask to take care of their animals. I currently have animals of my own too. I have plenty of experience taking care of all kinds of animals. I currently stay at home full time, I can always take care of your pet's needs. I also do this with my girlfriend so there is always someone taking care of them. I have a fenced in yard, that they can freely play in. I have several cats if they need someone to play with or I can separate them if needed.
About: Hi!!! My name is Lauryn! I have always had a strong love and passion for animals— rather they’re inside pets, or a tiny creature outdoors! I became a dog mommy at 5 years old, and haven’t looked back since! 💓 I currently have three fur babies of my own. I would love to assist you for the care of your pets when needed! My hours are very flexible! 😊 I’m happy to help whenever I’m needed and will always do my best to fit you in as long as I have availability that day. 🐾 I’m patient and flexible with both young and senior dogs, with hands-on experience from my own. 🐾 I don’t mind cleaning up accidents, always keep pups safely leashed on walks, and make sure they have fresh water and plenty of belly rubs & cuddles! I’m happy to work around your needs — feel free to ask any questions. I’d love to help care for your fur baby/babies! 💕
About: I've owned dogs and cats since I was about 9 or 10. I have no problem with walking and cleaning up after animals. I've done it for years. I'm seeking to obtain a part-time job at a supermarket, so I'll be available throughout the week and sometimes on weekends to care for your animals. The dogs that I've had in the past normally had plenty of room in the yard to roam free. I also owned smaller dogs which were kept in the house which had to same opportunities as our bigger dogs.
