“Mary has been nothing but wonderful. We are forever grateful she allowed us to go out of the country to renew our vows and made it a stress free trip. Our baby loves her! Thank you so much Mary!!!”
“Allison took a great care of my 3 cats, while I was on a long vacation overseas. I came home to healthy and happy cats. She feed them well, had a lot play time, and cleaned their litter box. She is a very responsible and trusted person. I would highly recommend Allison as a pet sitter!”
“I have never used Rover and was very hesitant to leave our 7 cats for nearly 2 weeks. Upon meeting Jamie, I immediately felt that our cats would be in good hands. She always sent photos (even of the cats who were hiding) and responded timely if I had questions. Thank you so much for taking care of our babies!”
About: I have taken care of dogs of different breeds and ages. I love taking dogs for walks and playing fetch and of course for going to potty. For house sitting, I have house sat for months at a time for a couple who would go out of town several times through out the year. I am very careful to make sure that the house is kept the same way as when the owner left. I clean up after myself. I am available during the day and evenings if needed. My only unavailable day would be Sundays but Sunday evenings after 8 pm I am available. Also I'm not into football so I am available during football season. I just have the one cat and she is indoor only so I do not have a fenced in area so my house is not suitable for cat or dog sitting.
“Eliza took great care of our cat while we were away for the week. She always arrived on time, and followed our instructions to the letter. I think we got more pictures of our cat from her than we have taken ourselves, haha.”

I care for all pets I walk and board like our life depends on it, because it does - This is my full time career. I am fully licensed and rated as the premier dog walking co in Birmingham.
“Raegan was so great with my puppy, Mayer while he was recovering from his neutering surgery! She sent me updates and pictures and made me comfortable when I was nervous to leave him home for the first time while I was at work.

“Carson was amazing!! From the initial meet before our trip, our dog loved her! While we were gone, she made sure to send lots of pictures and videos, which made our day every time. She even went out of her way to take a pictures and videos of our cat (which she usually hides) because our cat loved her too! Thank you so so much Carson!!!”
About: Growing up we always had multiple pets so I’ve taken care of them my entire life. My senior dog recently passed, so I have experience with older pets as well. I have lots of patience! I work full time Tues-Fri, but if it’s in the area I can likely do lunchtime visits as well. My schedule Sat-Mon is very flexible! I live in an apartment complex with a fenced in doggy park as well as easy access to walking trails. My apartment also has a camera in the living room so I can check in when I’m not at home. I enjoy being outside and taking long walks, just as much as I like to sit around and lounge!
“Hannah is very sweet and professional. My cats love her. My cat, Cassie, was limping the first day she feed him and immediately sent me a video so I could arrange emergency vet care. I would 100% recommend her to anyone!”
About: I’ve always had animals in my life—dogs, cats, and fish to start, and for the last 5+ years, backyard egg-laying chickens. I’ve cared for senior dogs, grouchy cats, rabbits, turtles, and even hedgehogs. I’m not squeamish about feeding pets creepy crawlers if that’s part of their care. Most importantly, I’ll treat your pets like they’re my own—safe, loved, and well cared for. I’m available for pet care during the day up until 2 pm, which means plenty of time for walks, play, and check-ins before the busy evening rush with my kids. I also offer overnight boarding, so your pup can enjoy a safe and comfortable stay while you’re away. I have one very friendly husky mix (Zora) and a large fenced-in backyard that’s perfect for playtime. We’re conveniently located off Alford Ave in Bluff Park/Hoover. Inside, our home is kept safe and pet-friendly, with both dogs and cats used to sharing the space. My two boys love animals as much as I do, so your pets will have plenty of attention, play, and care while they’re here.
About: I love all animals! I have owned a chameleon, cat dog, hamster you name it I’ve had it. I enjoy animals so I can ensure your baby will be taken care of as my own! My availability is from Monday - Thursday 6:00am - 3:30pm! :) Friday I’m completely available! :) If needed I can also do 10:00pm - 1:00am I had for cats and they had their own room! They had plenty of cat toys and many cat trees. They are my children so there isn’t anything I wouldn’t do for them.
