“Fallon has sat for our dog more than once, and it has been great! You can tell that she cares a lot about the pets she sits for, and she is very knowledgeable about the needs of animals. Our dog has been excited for each visit, and we can tell that he has been well loved when we pick him up.”

“He took such great care of my little pup! When I picked up my dog after his first 4 day stay with Doug, he was happy and settled (he is a sensitive dog! So I know if hasn’t been well with someone). I’m so grateful, Doug was wonderful!”

“It was a pleasure to have Parris watch and take care of our almost 17 year old dog Vanilla for 5 days. Paris communicated very well, was prepared, and we highly recommend her! 👌”

“I came to Birmingham for a wedding during NYE weekend and Laderius and his family were so accommodating and helpful. I put in the request really last minute but while speaking with them they had no problem watching my little on Karter. I’m always nervous leaving him but they sent pictures and were extremely welcoming. Whenever I’m back in town, I most definitely will contact them again.”

About: Lifelong animal lover and trained veterinary nurse with experience caring for my own pets and providing trusted dog and house sitting for friends and family. I understand that pets are family and strive to provide loving, dependable care tailored to each pet’s needs. Pet care naturally fits into my daily routine, allowing me to provide regular walks, potty breaks, playtime, and plenty of companionship throughout the day. I enjoy creating a calm, loving environment where pets feel safe, comfortable, and right at home. Whether in my home or yours, I provide attentive, personalized care in a safe and loving environment. I maintain each pet’s routine with regular meals, walks, exercise, and plenty of affection. With ample yard space and a pet-free home, I offer a calm setting where pets feel comfortable and loved. As a trained veterinary nurse, I treat every pet like family and am attentive to their individual needs.
“Shelby is awesome. She took great care of our baby and even let us extend our booking another day when we found out our hotel check out wasnt until the following day. She sent us many updates, and even took Riley on play dates with other doggos. I would definitely reccomend Shelby to anyone that needs a pet sitter! We hope she will be able to baby sit Riley again in June. ? Thanks so much Shelby!”

“Jessica was great! We got pictures every day and a video too! We could tell she made our old girl comfortable and happy in a new environment. She also has a one level house with no stairs to the backyard which is great for dogs with arthritis. We will definitely use her again next time we go out of town!”

“If I could leave 10 out of 5 stars I would! Amanda was wonderful and we could not have asked for a better experience. Besides being kind, gentle, and thoughtful, she was very caring and gave our dog lots of attention. We had multiple pictures and videos, which were so nice. She took Oliver on walks every day, not down the street, but to a park every day. She also fed him home cooked chicken (with my approval) to try to get him to eat (picky eater!). I know Oliver had a great time and it was so nice not worrying about our little boy! We will definitely use her again! Thank you Amanda!”

“Wade & Morgan were fantastic hosts for our dog Boone over Memorial Day Weekend. Boone had a ball playing with their dog Atlas for 3 days. Wade and Morgan sent pictures and provided updates everyday. Would highly recommend!”

About: i have 5 years of dog grooming experience, 3 years veterinary technician experience, and 2 years kennel technician experience. I have worked with pets off all support needs: senior, special needs, nervous, aggressive, puppies, all kinds! I have had extremely hands on experience working in vets offices and seen any and everything! I can administer medications of all types (including injections). I have experience with dogs who have potty issues or need to use pee pads. Seriously I've seen it all. Pet sitting is my full-time job! My entire schedule revolves around these furry babies. I basically devote all my days to taking care of pups! I'm home 24/7 while your pet is there unless im out checking on other pets. Every single doorway in my home is dog gated. I have a gate blocking off my front door and I have a fully fenced in backyard. They will never have direct access to any exit of the home. I have cameras in everyroom a pet would be in. I'm never gone for more than about an hour MAYBE two hours if im checking on another pet :) I never feed any pets in view of each other or in the same room. I only allow group play if you are okay with them being around others. I have full view of all dogs at all times.
About: Having grown up with animals most my life…I pride myself in the ability to comfort and love your furry friend… Even from a distance. My special skills, are soft skills… Meaning that I work best with slow warm-ups for any anxious pets. But also, I’m ready for any high energy animals as well. I go to school, and work during the weekdays… But have a giant break in the middle of the day, for any pet care. Weekends work best for me. Making sure to adapt to whatever the pet owner, and pet need. Whether that means space, or extra attention… I can be that in-between person you request. I also pride myself on attention to detail… So will notice any change in behavior, or care necessary.
“Kordell was amazing! This was my first time ever using Rover and I was a nervous wreck, but Kordell communicated effectively and sent daily updates and pics! Definitely will book again.”

“Charlie was so sweet and flexible! Her and her girls took great care of my Milo. From the pictures she sent throughout the weekend, it seemed like he got plenty loving and had tons of fun!”

“This was my puppy’s first time ever being with anyone outside of me, and from the pictures and videos, I could tell my baby girl had an amazing time! She was so sweet, caring, and friendly with my puppy that my baby didn’t even want to leave by the end. I’m so grateful for the service and would definitely recommend her to anyone needing dog sitting services. I’ll absolutely be booking with her again😊”

“They did a great job caring for Rosemary!! I got updates every day, and Rosie seemed like a happy and healthy girl when she came back home. We have already booked again for another weekend!”

“Carson was absolutely wonderful! This was Nala’s first time to stay away from home without me. Carson went above and beyond for my baby girl and Nala adjusted there beautifully. I will definitely be using her again the next time I need a sitter!”

Jody was absolutely amazing with our pup! She was a great communicator sending consistent photos during her stay. And I could tell our pup was having a wonderful stay which gave such a peace of mind while we were away. Cannot say enough great things! Rosie is ready for her next stay!
