“Opa was perfect for my kitties. She spent time with them and loved on them tons. She helped clean up and take care of the little extra things as well. I would recommend her to anyone that wants that extra care you're looking for.”


About: I’ve taken care of animals for most of my life. I am certified in animal enrichment. I am a zookeeper. I have volunteered at animal shelters. Animals are a safe place for me, so I find ways to make it what I do the majority of the time. I do it for a living. Mental stimulation and physical activity are very important to me. I do have a fenced in yard, but just running isn’t enough for any animal, so I make sure they are getting the mental stimulation they require.

“Natalie was wonderful! Coco and Mav are 8 mos old and still very shy and anxious around new people. Natalie was extremely patient and went above and beyond to gain their trust. I highly recommend her and would definitely use again!”


“Excellent job with my cats. My little sick one is doing well under her care. I think my cats like Madison more than they like me. Food was full and little was maintained very well.”


“Leah was amazing! She did drop ins for my cat and dog while we were out of town. She was reliable and the best communicator. We got pictures of our fur babies and never worried once about them in her care! Would recommend and would definitely book again.”


About: I'm a member of one of those families who frames photos of our dogs and has Christmas gifts wrapped for them! Dogs fulfill my life, and I feel we can learn so much from their unconditional, giving love. I've never been without a dog! My husband, four children (ages 11-18), and I work together to ensure your pet’s happiness & comfort. I am very experienced in caring for dogs of all breeds and sizes. I'm most experienced with the Shih Tzu, Labrador & Golden Retriever breeds, but I love dogs of all shapes and sizes. Our house is clean and full of warmth and love. My Shih Tzu, Penny, is 8 years old and doesn't know a stranger. Your dog will be doted on, played with, fed according to your instruction, and given tons of attention. We have many repeat clients and “regulars.” We’d love to be your pets’ new home away from home! From the minute your pet arrives, we act in a way that ensures your pet gets the sense he/she is just another member of the family. Lots of special attention at first to make sure he settles in well, and soon he should feel right at home and a beloved member of our pack of humans and furry friends. We typically keep one dog at a time, sometimes two. Our sweet Shih Tzu, Penny, is always with us. We can't wait to meet you! I work as a Shipt shopper and substitute teacher, so I have a flexible schedule! My husband works from home, so he’s here all day for lots of potty breaks and treats. We offer experienced, loving care in a welcoming, low-stress environment for your pets. We will treat them as our own during their stay with us.

About: I understand how important it is for dogs to get the exercise they need, and understand how hard it might be for someone who works during the day to provide them with that. I’d love to include an animal on my daily walks and let them sniff to their hearts content! I have a pretty flexible job, and can do 30 minute drop ins between 8am - 5pm. Any time before or after that I can stay longer! Weekends I am available any time. I will make sure your pet gets the care they need! Making sure they are well fed, hydrated, and taking them on walks if needed. I love to play, and can modify the level of play based on the age/energy level of your pet.

“Our cats seemed happy when we got back and Kennedy made a sweet Fourth of July enrichment box for our cats to play in. Our cat, Ginger, in particular, looked like he was having so much fun with it in the photos. 🧡 I highly recommend Kennedy and will absolutely be booking with her again!”


About: I’m a responsible 30-year-old who absolutely adores dogs of all breeds, ages, and personalities. My husband and I absolutely adore dogs and have grown up taking care of our family pets. While we don’t have one of our own at the moment, loving on other dogs through Rover is our fix until the time comes! I have a great history of caring for dogs, having spent years as a trusted Rover sitter in Austin, TX while I was in grad school. I love going on walks and would love it even more to have a furry friend by my side. I have a flexible work schedule that allows me to take breaks to take care of your pet and am happy to work with what you need. Whether your pup needs a fun walk, cozy cuddle time, or a reliable companion while you're away, I’ll treat them like my own—with plenty of love, attention, and belly rubs! I’d love to help you keep your pet happy and cared for. Let’s chat and see how I can support you and your furry friend! 🐶💕 I have a flexible work schedule that allows me to work from home or take breaks from the office as needed to take care of any and all pets. Unfortunately, I am unable to host in our home due to restrictions in my lease. However, I am happy to do drop-ins to care for your pet in home as well as walks!

About: I rescued my dog Lucky in 2008 from Cabo MX. Took him back to Colorado to live in the mountains and now back home in Alabama. We averaged 2 walks a day every week and plenty of play time over the weekend. My family relies on me to take of their pets when they are away and I always gladly accept. I'm flexible during Friday and Saturday. I work Mon-Thursday from home. I have time early in the morning - later afternoon and early-late evenings to help visit and walk Whatever works for the animal, I can do. Specific feedings, walks around the block, cleaning up after them and lots of petting. They will look forward to my visits.

About: I’ve been an animal lover for as long as I can remember. Growing up, my family always had dogs, and I quickly became the go-to dog walker in the neighborhood. In college, I volunteered with the local humane society, where I spent time walking dogs and taking them on fun “puppy dates” every day. I’ve worked with dogs of all sizes, breeds, and temperaments—and animals tend to feel naturally safe and comfortable around me. More recently, I’ve also become a big cat person! I didn’t grow up with cats, but I adopted one two years ago and have absolutely fallen in love. Whether it’s a playful pup or a snuggly cat, I’m here to provide loving, attentive care while you’re away. I’m fully available all day, every day for walks, check-ins, or extended pet care. I’m going online school until August 26th and have a very flexible schedule! My home is very pet-friendly and a great environment for animals! I have one dog—an English Lab—who is sweet, well-behaved, and uses an electric fence. I also have a cat who gets along great with dogs. We live in a dog-loving neighborhood where people are always out walking their pets, and my dog has regular playdates with the neighborhood pups. It’s a fun, safe, and social environment for any visiting pets!

About: I have been a pet owner for several years and they are apart of my family. I would love the opportunity to help you care for your babies as well. My schedule is very flexible. I do work Monday through Friday from 9 to 5 but would be available to do drop ins before or after work and also available to board anytime during the weekend. I live in an apartment complex. I currently have one Lab that I love dearly. Her schedule is being walked three times a day and also lots of play time in the fenced in dog area. I will treat your babies the same way. If I come to stay in your home for care, I will follow any instructions you may have.

About: Strays were always welcome in my home growing up. Whether we kept them or found them a loving home I have always been surrounded by animals. From puppies to elderly dogs, all ages. I have worked with more reactive dogs but it is not my favorite. I have a cat in my apartment she loves dogs, but not all dogs love cats, so keep that in mind. No fenced in yard at the apartment, but plenty of grassy areas to frolic on a leash. I have a leadership role at a nonprofit that allows me to have a flexible hybrid (remote and on-site) schedule. I get outside everyday for a walk, come in and out of home for different work appointments or zoom meetings, and I would love to take care of your fur baby. Either walks, house sitting, overnights, etc. if you give me clear instructions on your fur baby I will be set. As far as how I care for animals in my environment— I have a huge cat tree in my living room, a little too many cat toys, plenty of space to go on walks. I often run through my neighborhood. My baby has automatic litter boxes and water fountains and a feeder that goes off at the same times everyday. She is a spoiled kitty and I wouldn’t have it any other way.

About: You might be a great pet sitter for several reasons: 1. Love for Animals: My passion for pets creates a warm and caring environment. 2. Reliability: I show up on time, keep to schedules, and ensure pets receive consistent care. 3. Experience: Past experiences with different types of pets equip me to handle various situations effectively. 4. Attention to Detail: I notice small changes in a pet’s behavior or health, which can be crucial. 5. Training Knowledge: Understanding pet behavior and commands helps me manage them well. 6. Flexibility: I adapt to different pets' needs, routines, and personalities. 7. Communication Skills: I keep pet owners updated and address any concerns they might have. 8. Trustworthiness: Being responsible with keys and personal items builds trust with pet owners. These qualities not only ensure the pets are well cared for, but also give pet owners peace of mind while they are away. I work full time but will always make sure the animals are well taken care of !! Their routine will always be fulfilled! Weekends I am free all day I will always ask how you treat your dogs and how you discipline your dogs so that i can portray the same as well ! I will make sure the routine is followed throughly and pictures and updates will be sent daily

“Brittney was very quick to respond, very sweet! She made me feel at ease about our puppies! She spent time with them, gave them belly rubs and sent us pictures! I would absolutely use her again! Thank you!”
