“As always, Cam took the best care of our kitties. She treats them as their own and it gives us the ultimate peace of mind. Milo & Ozzy look forward to seeing her next time <3”

“Piper is beyond amazing. She was able to start at the last minute and watching her with my puppy Casey, I could see how much she loves dogs and working with them. I was instantly put at ease. It makes our day to see all the photos she takes of Casey during their time together, and I know Casey is being loved. Working with Piper has been a dream, and I can’t recommend her enough.”

“Sarah helped us out for some drop ins over Thanksgiving. We had specific instructions because one of our dogs is dealing with Cushings and she followed everything as instructed. We received pictures and updates for each drop in and appreciated Sarah making herself available on a holiday. I will definitely keep her in mind for any future sitting needs with our pups!”
“Sarah was absolutely fantastic. My dog is extremely shy and she took the time to get to know Weller and make him as comfortable as possible. Sarah was also incredibly attentive and noticed Weller’s ear irritation which I’m so thankful for. This has been my first experience with Rover and Sarah is definitely my go to now!”

“Gage is so great with my pups. I feel so comfortable when I go out of town because of the peace of mind I have knowing they are in good hands. Appreciate his availability last minute this last time I needed him! I wish to use him everytime I go out of town if he is available! Can't say enough good things about him!”

About: With extensive experience living with dogs and cats in both small apartments and large farms, I’ve cared for various breeds, including dachshunds, labradors, mutts, and barn cats. With a flexible schedule due to school, I have several gaps throughout the day that allow me to provide consistent check-ins and care for your friendly pets. I require meet and greets with all new clients before booking. This helps ensure your pet and I are a good match and gives you enough time to find another sitter if needed. If your home does not have a keyless entry (electronic lock or lockbox), please have your key ready at the meet and greet, or arrange to leave it somewhere with clear instructions. (A photo of the location is appreciated.) For safety and liability reasons, I will not: - Leave your home unlocked after visits - Climb fences or enter through non-standard entrances Key pickup/drop-off is subject to a $10 fee, including for additional meet-and-greets outside the initial one. In your home, I prioritize creating a safe, loving environment for your pet or pets, ensuring they feel secure and well-cared for while you're away.
“So happy I have Mya to look after Sox. She is so great with her and is always letting me know how she is doing while I am away. Great communicator and so compassionate and caring. Thank you Mya.”

“Amber is amazing! She was so sweet with Sherlock even when he was unsure of the situation. She kept me updated on what was going on and sent some cute pics and a video to me. It was so nice to know what was going on with him during the visit. I would recommend her to everyone.”

About: I've been petsitting for both dogs and cats since I was 10. My first job was at a pet store where I cared for all kinds of animals big and small. I have experience administering medications to dogs, cats, and even pigs, and I've been told I'm a good pet photographer. I am also very comfortable caring for more exotic pets, including reptiles and arthropods! I've cared for several snakes in my time and worked with lizards, tarantulas, birds, and even centipedes. I'm self-employeed, so my schedule is very flexible and I have been taken all over the city for various jobs and gigs, thus I am avaliable throughout most of the week and I know the area very well. I am very familiar with which foods and plants are toxic to dogs and cats and preventing them from getting their paws on any of them. I am wary of the client's individual specifications and will know the location of the closest veterinarians, including emergency ones. I am also well-versed in what a medical emergency looks like in animals. I make sure that food and water dishes are not only full, but clean!! It's amazing how quickly biofilm can build up in these.
“Leah is so good at what she does. She always pays attention to the details and goes above and beyond to spend time with even my VERY shy cat. I absolutely recommend booking with Leah.”

“Louann did an great job, it made my vacation all the better knowing my kitties were in good hands. She kept me up to date with pictures. She spent time playing with them which was appreciated. Will definitely reach out again in the future”

About: I am a senior at UAB, and I have made a summer job the past few years dog sitting. I have a wide variety of experience including caring for three 60lbs+ dogs for a week. I love every animal like it is my own (smothered in love) and I make sure to take lots of pictures (I can’t help it!). I am currently finishing my senior year and have a very light semester. I have completely free days during the week and on the weekends. I have lots of experience with animals of many different needs and can easily adapt to instruction. I will be sure to love your baby and provide care above and beyond.
“Alyssa was great! She stopped by and checked on our two cats while we were out of town and she always provided a brief update and a picture or two. ❤️ would definitely book again!”

“Margaret was great! We were completely comfortable leaving our dogs at home with her checking in on them. She communicated well, and sent great pics of the dogs having fun! We definitely recommend and would rebook with her in a heartbeat!”

About: I’m lucky to share my home with three wonderful dogs and cats. Our pack (I refer to as the goof troop) keeps me experienced with different personalities and needs every day! I’ve cared for elderly dogs who require patience and gentle handling, as well as anxious pups who need extra reassurance to feel safe and comfortable. I understand that every pet is unique, and I’m happy to keep up with their usual routine and any training tricks you’ve been working on so there’s consistency while you’re away. Being home full time allows me to give your pets the attention and care they deserve. I have a flexible schedule, just let me know! During a drop in visit to your home, I follow your pet’s regular routine as specified, including feeding, walking, playtime, and any special care instructions.
“Leah was wonderful to our kitties! She’s a great communicator and really cares. She is detailed oriented and made me feel at ease. I know our kitties will be excited to see her again. Thanks Leah!”

About: I’m a military brat from Germany and Japan, therefore I’ve seen it all! I grew up with labs and bull terriers (yes, the target dog) and miss all the puppy lovin’!! More than ready to give your dog(s) all the love, care, and cuddles!!! Bring on all the pups! Camryn I’m currently finishing my degree at the University of Alabama and my availability is extremely flexible. I promise that putting your pet(s) needs first is my priority! My home is unavailable for pet care, however I’m able to travel and tend to your fur bubba needs! Photos and videos will always be a must!
