About: I have owned and cared for several dogs over the years, including my current Maltipoo. I’m experienced with daily care routines like feeding, walking, potty training, and providing attentive, loving companionship. My weekly schedule varies, but it’s very flexible, allowing me to accommodate your pet’s routine. I prioritize attentive, one-on-one care and can fully meet your pet’s needs without distractions I have a fenced-in yard that allows for safe, outdoor play time. I also live in a very walkable area so plenty of exercise can be achieved if needed. I have my own male maltipoo who loves to meet and play with other animals as well. Specific care routines will be attended to per request.
“Frankie did a fantastic job! Both of my cats seemed happy to see me when I got home, but I’d obvious they were will cared for in my absence! Frankie sent daily updates and pictures!”
About: I care for every pet like they’re my own—because I truly know what that means. I’ve spent the past 4 years raising a labradoodle, 3 years with a golden retriever, and 2 years with my cat, so I’m experienced with different personalities, energy levels, and needs. I’m especially passionate about rescue animals. I volunteer with shelters and rescues, which has given me hands-on experience working with pets who may be shy, anxious, or still learning to trust. I bring patience, calm energy, and a lot of kindness to every visit. I understand that no two pets are the same. Whether it’s a high-energy pup who needs structured play, a senior dog who needs a slower pace, or a cat who prefers quiet companionship, I adjust my care to fit their personality. Your pet will get more than just a sitter—they’ll get someone who genuinely loves and understands them. Pet care is a natural part of my everyday life. I recently moved to Alabama from Texas, where I was a teacher, and I’m now a full-time dog and cat mom. Because of this, I have a very flexible schedule and can easily adjust my day to meet your pet’s needs. I tailor my care based on each pet’s routine, personality, and comfort level. I aim to keep your pet’s routine as normal as possible. I follow all instructions carefully—feeding, walks, and any special preferences. I make sure they get lots of love, enrichment, and companionship while you’re away. I also respect your home and keep things clean and secure. I’m experienced with different energy levels and temperaments, including shy or rescue pets, and I approach every animal with patience and kindness. My goal is for your pet to feel safe, comfortable, and genuinely cared for at all times.
“Ms Sarah was so kind and attentive- you can truly tell she loves animals! My fur baby is FULL of energy and is so loving and Sarah soaked it up and seemed like the two of them had the best time. She even cared for our cat since he started crying for some attention too. One of the best sitters we've had- definitely adding her to my short list of MUST ASK FIRST when booking!”
About: I have experience caring for my now senior cat and my Chihuahua. As someone who loves animals, I enjoy offering attentive and loving care to furry companions! I am a current full-time doctoral student at the University of Alabama at Birmingham. As a student, I can easily work around my weekday schedule to incorporate pet care. I am also open to overnight pet sitting if requested. When caring for your pets in your home, I will ensure they are watched after and will provide them with affection and attention. I can walk your dog(s) around your neighborhood if the weather permits and will ensure that they are let outside to use the restroom throughout the day. For owners who use potty pads for dogs or litter boxes for cats, I have experience cleaning up after both and will ensure this is taken care of.
“Sass did an excellent job taking care of our 2 cats! She was able to get 3 meds into our cat with her creative food mixtures! We recommend her highly and will use her again!”

Kyra was absolutely wonderful keeping our doggo. She came a few days early to meet her, learn about her needs and our wants to watch her. She sent many pictures and was a great communicator about each visit. I would highly recommend her and we will use her again!
Leah was great. She was on time and sent us great pictures of Baxter. She sent an excellent report and was flexible with the times we needed. She responded quickly to all questions. My husband and I were not worried all day about Baxter. The next time we are in town we would book with Leah.
Alyssa was seriously amazing with my indoor cats, Stevie and Garfield. They are my babies, so I don’t trust just anyone…but she made me feel so comfortable the whole time I was away. Alyssa sent daily updates and pictures (one of the best pictures I have of my spicy Garfield!), which I loved. It made such a difference getting to see them and know they were happy and cared for while we were away. You could tell they were totally at ease with her, which means so much. She’s reliable and communicates well. I’d 100% use her again and would recommend her to anyone without hesitation!
Wow! Frankie is outstanding!!!! I’m talking 10/10 Instantly our pups were comfortable, wanting to play and get scratches! Our timid female usually takes some time to warm up and that was not the case here! Frankie is just so kind and thoughtful! Asked all the questions and even offered to water the plants! If you want your fur babies to be in the best hands look no further 👏
Stephanie is very personal and immediately got along with both of our babies. She took such great care of our cats while we were away and gave us complete peace of mind. She made sure they were fed on schedule, kept their litter boxes clean, and spent quality time playing and giving them attention so they didn’t feel lonely. We especially appreciated the updates and photos she sent — it was clear our cats were happy, comfortable, and well cared for. We will definitely be booking Stephanie again.
Jody treated my two kitties like they were her own! She gave such detailed updates each day and so many cute photos - it made it so much easier to be away knowing my cats were in such good hands! I would absolutely recommend Jody to anyone & hope I can use her again in the future!
Vy (Tyler) was an incredible sitter. We had absolutely no problems and were very happy with the care given to our two dogs. He would periodically send photos and videos of our dogs playing and made sure that we didn’t have to worry about them at all on our trip. We will definitely be booking with Vy again!
