About: With over 10 years of hands-on experience caring for a wide variety of animals from energetic puppies and curious kittens to exotic pets like birds, reptiles, and small mammals. I offer more than just pet sitting or walking: I offer peace of mind. I understand that every pet has a unique personality, routine, and needs, and I take pride in providing compassionate, personalized care tailored to each furry (or feathered or scaly!) family member while you are away! I am a remote worker with a flexible schedule and a lot of time to focus on your pets individually. I am yours when needed. Caring for your pets in your home or on a walk is all about keeping them comfortable, happy, and stress-free while you’re away. I follow your pet’s daily routine as closely as possible, including feeding schedules, walks, playtime, and cuddle sessions. Whether it’s a quiet senior cat who needs gentle companionship, a high-energy pup who loves long walks, or a shy pet that just needs patience and a calm presence. I tailor my care to each pet’s personality and needs.
“Rebekah is the best. I would highly recommend her to anyone. She is reliable, conscientious and personable. She treated our baby very well. We will use her again in the future.”
About: I love animals and have watched my friends pets on various weekends. I have a furry son who is a pit mix and he will NOT be meeting your animal(s.) I am visiting Alabama for most of August before my semester of college starts. I’m only doing Rover this month so I am pretty available:) I leave by the 31st of August. I can do day or night drop ins. I don’t stay the night as I have a fur baby of my own who prefers he not sleep alone :) I will not be able to care for pets at my home. If I was Pet sitting at your home I would walk regularly and snuggle often (if the pet is willing.)
“Morgan was amazing with my cat Rey! Rey is usually distant to new people, but from the looks of it she really liked Morgan. Morgan also sent me many pictures from each visit which definitely helped ease the anxiety of leaving my baby. She even brought in packages and notes that were left on our porch. I will definitely request Morgan next time!”
About: My partner and I have grown up taking care of pets. We have taken care of dogs and cats of all ages from puppy’s to seniors. We absolutely love spending time with all animals and will treat your fur babies like family. Both of us work part time, so one of us will almost always have the time to come see your pets. We prefer house sitting, to keep your pets comfortable in their own environment. We always have sundays completely free! In the clients home we try to keep the animals on the same schedule as if the client were still there. We love to play and give all the love to each pet.
About: I specialize in training your dog or cat, i also know how to take care of animals who are deaf, blind, or need a little bit of extra care I’m available anytime or the day or night for anyone who needs help with their pet. I know how sometimes a work schedule can get crazy and you need more time with your animals. I can do that for you! I take care of my animals like they are my kids, they definitely come first every day. Not only do my dogs go on walks but my cats do too.
About: I have been around and loved different breeds of dogs and cats all of my life. I dog and house sat for my uncle and aunt for years. I don't have a set schedule. I do prefer afternoons and evenings, however. I can fit my life around your pet’s schedule. *If your pet requires constant care for overnights. The kind of care that means I can only leave for 2 to 3 hours. For that kind of extensive care i will add a $30 fee per day.* When caring for your pets in your home I will care for them as you do. Any rules you have I will follow. I will follow the schedule and amount for meals. I will play with them and pet them as they let me. Since it’s important to know when pets need space I’ll pay attention to their behavior so I know when to stop. I am fine with the dog sleeping in bed with me or cuddling with me on the couch.
About: I’ve taken care of animals my whole life, my own animals and family and friends. I will treat and love them like they are my own! I currently work full-time as a teacher, but I’m available on the weekends to love and care for your babies. I am available Friday through Sunday. I have a love for all animals and will do whatever is needed to take care of your pets just like you were there yourself.
“This was the second time Katrina watched my cat while I was out of town and she did a great job. I got regular updates and my cat was happy and well cared for. It’s such a relief to know he's in great hands.”
About: I’ve taken care of pets for as long as I can remember. I had 3 family dogs that relied on me as a teenager. Still, 12 years later, I have 3 of my own dogs. I’m experienced in caring for small and large dogs, while also in young and old dogs. I can give your puppy the extra attention they require to be happy and healthy. I’m also aware that senior dogs require special care like administering medications and physical assistance. You can relax knowing your fur baby is in safe hands. I am currently a stay at home mom, homeschooling my 6 year old. I’m very flexible and can work around your schedule with ease. Typically homeschool from 8:30-1, so all other hours are available. Whether you have a fenced in yard or not, I am able to provide confident leashed walks or simply playing fetch in the back yard. Of course I’m at the discretion of the owner on what they are comfortable with, and will respect their choices. Boarded dogs can enjoy the large private yard with as many walks/play time they need. I have 2 XL crates to rest peacefully at night or as needed. I am home most hours of the day to keep your pet company.
About: I have had pets my entire life and I can't imagine life without them! I have had dogs cats, snakes, hamsters, and reptiles so I am very comfortable with all pets! Your pet will be treated just like my children and loved just as much! I will send you pictures and text every day of how much fun and loved your pet will be. There is nothing I won't do to make your pet happy!

I currently don’t offer care at my address . I do have access to a car and can provide all services you need at your home address.
“Tori was wonderful with my cats! She put my mind at ease, especially with my 17 year old cat who is on twice daily meds. My feral turned house cat did a good job at hiding from Tori ( typical for the cat) but she managed to take a couple pictures of him and monitored his food and potty breaks. She scooped the litter boxes, swept up the loose litter around the litter boxes, and played with my friendly cat. I loved the twice daily Rover cards. I highly recommend Tori for your pet sitting needs!”
About: I have pet care experience from my time spent working at Petsmart. I fed, cleaned up after, and cared for all kinds of animals while working there including chinchillas and cats. I have two dogs and one cat that I have taken care of for a total of 2 years! (Reese, Lottie, and Percy) Growing up I always had a dog so I am a fan of small, medium, and large dogs! I will have plenty of time to care for all pets! This is all I plan to do for work plus possibly running some errands so there will be plenty of care to go around! I have two small dogs and one cat to keep your fur baby company. They have played well with other dogs once getting to know them! Crates are definitely welcome and also recommended at my house especially for overnight care and since all animals may not be immediately used to each other. Pets at my house are taken out on leashes to use the bathroom regularly and watched diligently both outside and inside. They are allowed on the furniture and the bed. I only feed animals in my care when it is recommended by the pet parent but my pets usually receive treats and food that are suitable for their size and age group. Safety is the number one priority with fur babies at my house!

“This was the second time Katrina watched my cat while I was out of town and she did a great job. I got regular updates and my cat was happy and well cared for. It’s such a relief to know he's in great hands.”
Nealie M.
“We can't express how grateful we are to Nealie for the exceptional care that she provided for our 7 year old dog, Willow, while we were out of town for a long weekend. Willow suffers from separation anxiety, making it incredibly difficult to leave her with anyone she doesn’t know. Making matters more difficult, our family/friends were all busy and couldn’t be around to help. We were understandably nervous, but Nealie completely put our minds at ease. From our initial meeting, it was clear that Nealie was compassionate and patient. She took the time to understand Willow’s specific needs and anxieties, and she implemented her own strategies to keep Willow calm and comfortable. While we were away, Nealie sent regular updates, including photos and videos, which helped calm our worries (maybe WE are the ones with separation anxiety! Lol). I could tell Willow was happy and relaxed in her care. She used calm music, calming scent diffusers, surrounded Willow with blankets that have our scent, and frequently took Willow out and on walks to keep her mind busy. She even played tug of war with her to keep her occupied! Nealie went above and beyond, and we returned home to our happy, healthy fur baby. If you have a dog with separation anxiety, or any dog for that matter, I wholeheartedly recommend Nealie to take care of them. She will definitely have repeat business with us!”
Jennifer S.
