“Cam was fantastic with Cookie and Bizzy! She was communicative, attentive, and followed instructions perfectly. She handled all the usual cat antics with patience and humor, and it was clear she genuinely cared about their comfort and wellbeing. I felt completely at ease knowing they were in such good hands and would absolutely book her again.”

About: From the age of 12, I've been taking care of pets. My passion for providing pets with the utmost care and attention has grown over the years. Through my experience, I have not only developed a strong sense of compassion for all animals, but I have also developed the ability to handle any situation. I have a trio of furry friends, but what sets them apart is that I've taken it upon myself to raise, train, and deliver two of them. The third one was a gift, but they've all become an integral part of my life. Rest assured that your beloved pet will be treated with the same love and care that I give to my furry friends. You can trust me to provide your pet with the attention and affection they deserve. As an independent worker, I have the flexibility to be there for you and your furry friends whenever you need me. Count on me to provide reliable and attentive care for your pets. As such, please book accordingly so that I may be able to give your babies the attention and care they deserve. At the moment, I don't provide in-home pet services. However, I'm committed to adhering to all safety guidelines to guarantee your furry friend's well-being and an enjoyable experience.

About: I provide pet-sitting in your own home, and can also do dog walking. Pet-sitting can include bathing and light grooming. I am comfortable with all ages and breeds of dogs, and have experience with a full range of each. I am experienced with many types of behaviors within dogs, and can offer basic training as needed.

My current availability is mornings and evenings M-F, and all day weekends. My schedule does get filled quickly, but if given enough notice I should have flexibility! I work full-time, but I still have times during the week that I devote to my pets and yours. I make sure that each animal tended gets adequate exercise, attention, and even training as needed. I currently don’t offer in-house boarding at this time, but I often do house visits and dog walking. I have lots of experience and devote a lot of time ensuring that each person I work with is comfortable and feels safe with me in their home and/or with their pets. I have a set system that also ensures the safety of information such as addresses, keys, etc. so that it will never become a concern. I also take LOTS of photos and videos each time I visit, so that each client I work with can guarantee I do everything correctly and am being as safe as I can with their fur-babies:)

“Peter did great house sitting with both of our dogs. He was right on time for the meet and greet beforehand and asked good questions. He was very communicative and responsive while at our home, giving us updates. He took great care of the dogs and took them on daily walks which they loved. Would book again!”

About: Hi there! I've grown up with dogs, cats, birds, and rabbits my whole life, and I love taking care of fur babies. I have had my own little best friend for the past 3 years, and we are opening our home for others! I have a very flexible schedule, am an avid walker, keen on pet safety, and very loving! I am currently a pre-medical student at UAB and am hoping to supplement my income by taking care of your babies - a win-win! I have previous corporate professional experience, babysitting experience, hospital experience, and waitressing experience! I'm a well-rounded and responsible pet sitter, and I look forward to meeting your special friends! I work part-time from 9-1 as a clinical researcher and then 2-4 as a babysitter each weekday. I live 5 minutes from work and can always pop home to let your baby out. They will never be alone for more than 5 hours. When I'm gone, my friendly dachshund Frank will keep them company! I am adamant about pet safety. Having a dachshund has made me very wary of smaller dog injuries, so if you have a smaller dog, I am well-versed in making sure they're having safe fun! I have an unfenced park 1 minute from my house, and I am always happy to take the dogs to a fenced dog park so they can run around.

“Saskia was absolutely phenomenal caring for our dog and two cats while we were away. She kept us updated throughout our trip with messages and pictures, which gave us so much peace of mind. It was clear from the start that she genuinely cared for our pets and treated them as if they were her own. When we returned home, our pets were happy, well cared for, and our house was left in pristine condition. We couldn’t have asked for a better experience. We highly recommend Saskia to anyone looking for a trustworthy, caring, and reliable pet sitter. We will definitely be using her again!”

“This was my first experience with a pet sitter and let me tell you what- I am so grateful to have met Erica and for her to spend time with Amos. He had such a fantastic time, which I know from the pictures she sent ?. I don't even think he realized I was gone which is perfect because that's the point, right?! So, if I'm ever in Birmingham again, and I need a pet sitter, I would definitely look up Erica she is a sweetheart and an angel.”

Kristan D.

“Piper was fantastic! She sent so many pictures and we had no doubt our German shepherd and orange kitty were in great hands. We will definitely book her again when we go on vacation!! HIGHLY recommend booking her!”

“Caspar was incredible! He spent a lot of time with our pets, making sure they were happy and comfortable, and kept us in the loop with messages and pictures!”

About: I’ve always loved animals and have years of hands-on experience caring for dogs of different sizes, breeds, and personalities, including my own 1 year old mini Goldendoodle. I’m patient, attentive, and reliable, and I understand how important it is to make pets feel safe, comfortable, and loved while their owners are away. I’m experienced with walks, feeding schedules, playtime, basic grooming, administering simple routines, and giving pets the attention they need to feel at ease. I’m especially good with energetic dogs, puppies who need consistency, and dogs who benefit from calm, gentle care. I treat every pet like they’re my own and always make sure they get plenty of love, exercise, and supervision. Pet care fits naturally into my weekly routine because I’m organized, active, and used to building my days around responsibilities.

I make sure every pet gets dependable care, attention, and consistency, and I’m committed to keeping owners updated so they feel confident while they’re away. Safety and trust are my top priorities with every pet. Whether I’m caring for pets in my home or in a client’s home, I always make sure the environment is clean, secure, and calm. I pay close attention to routines, feeding instructions, leash safety, and any special needs or behaviors so pets feel comfortable and stress-free. I never leave pets unsupervised in unsafe situations, and I always treat each home with respect. I know how important it is for pet parents to feel confident, so I focus on clear communication, reliability, and giving every pet patient, loving care.

About: I would love to walk/ hike with your pet, care for it at your home, or drop in to let them out. I have always loved animals ever since I was little. My first job was a pet sitting service, I was frequently asked to watch neighbors dogs, cats, bunnies, fish, etc. My friends often rely on me to take care of their animals while out of town and I have experience with older dogs as well as puppies. My dog passed away earlier this year and I won't be ready for anther dog anytime soon, but I would love to share love with your animals. I work seasonally and am currently off for my winter season. I would love to spend time with your animals either at your home or on walks/hikes! I can not watch pets in my own home but in my client's home I make sure to follow their rules and ask the important questions up front. I make sure to not leave pets alone too long and to be there for feeding times and to keep them company at night.

“Alexis was great with my babies while I was gone! My dog does not take easily to new people, but she relaxed around Alexis pretty quickly in our pre-sitting meet up. I also didn't have to hunt down my cat like I usually do when sitters are over...which is a change. It's not them, but Xena doesn't like anyone...lol. She came in before I even had to look for her! Alexis is a good communicator and sent photos regularly to let me know how they were doing. I'll definitely hire her again.”

Pamela N.

“My dogs loved her and she was so sweet! Sent picture updates when we were gone and made sure they were well taken care of! Would definitely book again :)”
