“Harold is awesome. He has kind, calm energy and Flo immediately felt comfortable in his home. He sends lots of pictures and Flo got plenty of love and attention. Will definitely call on Harold again!”


“Nancy was absolutely amazing. I boarded my dog with her for a week while I had to go out of state for the holidays. Nancy welcomed Cooper on with open arms, and sent me daily photos and videos of him interacting with her and the other dogs. She was very communicative and went out of her way to ensure that he was well taken care of in my absence. I would definitely use her again, and without question recommend her to others!”

About: I have a lifelong connection to caring for living beings—I've been doing it since I was a little girl. Our pets are truly our family, and I treat every dog in my care with the same love, patience, and attention I’d give my own. Whether it’s playful puppies or gentle senior dogs, I adjust to their unique needs. I offer a safe, loving home for boarding and daycare, with lots of affection, structure, and fun. My home is drug and smoke-free. My goal is to make you and your dog(s) feel comfortable, cared for, and genuinely happy while you’re away—because they deserve ALL good things! I work from home caring for a loved one while they're healing. Caring for dogs brings a loving healing energy into our home. As you know they nurture us as much as we nurture them, if not more! In my loving pet-friendly community, your dog will enjoy wide open spaces for safe walks, playtime, and potty breaks. I create a calm environment tailored to each pet’s needs. I'm experienced in administering medications—oral, intravenous, or topical—and can accommodate special diets with care. Crate-trained pups? I can easily crate your dog upon request. For everyone’s safety, all dogs are walked on-leash, so please bring your pooch with a secure collar or harness. Your pet’s well-being is always my priority.

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.

“Courtney made me feel so comfortable taking care of my fur baby. This was my first time leaving her for this long of a stretch, but I knew she was in good hands. Maple was so calm and sleepy when we got home that I know she had a great time!”


About: Loving, Reliable House & Pet Care — Special Needs & Senior Experience Hi! I’m Vanessa — a full-time pet owner and experienced caregiver. I’ve personally raised and cared for my own 3 dogs and 2 cats, all of whom have very different personalities, medical needs, and routines. From puppy training to senior care, special diets, medication schedules, and anxiety triggers — I’ve handled it all with patience and love. When I house sit, I bring that same level of care directly into your home. Your pets stay in their own safe, familiar environment while I handle everything: feeding, potty breaks, walks, playtime, medication, and cuddles. High-energy dogs will get plenty of outdoor time and exercise; low-energy pets can relax and hang out by my side for quiet comfort. Since I don’t work outside the home, I’m present most of the day to give your pets plenty of attention. I do step out for a few hours in the evening to go to the gym, but I always return to make sure everyone is settled in for the night. You’ll get regular updates, photos, and open communication so you can relax while you’re away knowing your pets — and your home — are in great hands. What sets me apart? Your pet will never be left alone for long hours — I’m home full-time, so their care isn’t squeezed in between a busy schedule. Whether it’s maintaining special routines, managing medical needs, or simply providing a calm, loving environment, I tailor my care to meet each pet’s unique personality and needs. My clients know that when their pets stay with me, they’re getting the same level of love and attention I give my own fur family. Since I don’t work outside the home, I’m able to offer constant supervision, regular potty breaks, and consistent routines to help your pet feel secure and loved while you’re away. I’m happy to provide frequent updates and photos for your peace of mind. When I care for your pets, my top priority is keeping them safe, comfortable, and happy in their own home environment. I maintain their usual routines, supervise them closely, and monitor for any changes in behavior, appetite, or health. I’m experienced with special needs, senior pets, medication administration, and pets who may require a little extra patience or care. While house sitting, your pets aren’t left alone for long hours. I’m home during the day to provide frequent potty breaks, meals, playtime, and companionship. In the evenings, I’m briefly away for a workout, but I return home at night to ensure your pets feel calm and secure before bedtime. Your home is treated with the same level of respect and responsibility — mail, plants, light cleaning, and security are all handled while you’re away. You can leave knowing both your pets and your home are in capable, trusted hands.

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

“Jennifer was so great with my boys! I had them stay for the weekend with her while I moved and I could easily tell how much she loved them. We will definitely be using her services again and highly recommend her!”


“Riley is our go-to sitter any time we need someone in the Birmingham area. Quick with communication, shares photos, and is willing to cater to our dog’s needs. Definitely recommend!”

“I can’t say enough about Vanessa—she’s truly one of the most caring and responsible pet owners I know. She personally has three dogs and two cats, all of whom are incredibly well cared for and deeply loved. It’s clear how much her pets mean to her, and the time, effort, and affection she puts into their care is unmatched. What sets her apart even more is the way she handles my own pets, especially since they have special needs. She takes the time to learn their routines, administer their medications exactly as needed, and ensures they feel safe and comfortable. I have two dogs and one cat, and I trust her completely to care for them just like I would. Anyone would be lucky to have her care for their animals—she’s not just reliable, she’s exceptional.”
