About: I have taken care of dogs of every kind since I was 20. Neighbors, friends, and family have relied on me to walk, feed, and bathe their pets—and I treat each one like my own. I have experience with senior dogs, puppies, and those with special needs, and I know how to read body language and respond calmly and confidently in any situation. Your pet’s safety, happiness, and routine are my top priority. I work full-time but have plenty of availability for evening, weekend, and overnight care. I’m reliable, responsive, and committed to making sure your pet gets the love, attention, and routine they need—even with a busy schedule. I’m happy to coordinate pickup/drop-off times that work best for you. Your pet’s well-being is my top priority. I provide a calm, loving, and supervised environment where pets feel safe and at home. I have a fenced yard and two friendly dogs for built-in companionship, but I can also crate or separate as needed based on your pet’s comfort level. I always follow your care instructions closely and treat every pet like family.

About: I am SUCH an animal person. I have had pets my whole life, even more unique animals like hamsters, lizards, and even a tortoise! I love dogs of any size or age. I have experience with big dogs (my precious baby was a Cane Corso at 175 pounds), and I have also had little dogs (my Stella, the 3-pounds yorkie). I took care of both of my dogs until they passed, so I also have skills and patience with senior/elderly animal care. I also dog and cat sit quite frequently in my home town. I love walking and being outside and can’t wait to meet your fur babies! I moved to the Huntsville area for the summer and I have completely open availability. I’m looking to work, exercise, and get out of the house. I’m happy to help any time of the day and in any way I can! I will not be offering pet sitting in my home, however, I am open to all other services. I love going on walks and playing with all types of animals, so I am happy to help in any way I can.

About: My fur baby Ivey and I have been on our journey for close to 4 years now! I love dogs, and am very passionate about their well being! I am currently working Monday - Friday 8-5, but I have the capability to work completely remote, so I am available virtually at any time! I have a fenced in back yard that my fur baby loves to play around in! She loves a good stick, and fetch is her fave game!

About: I've grown up with many animals and have taken care of many friends and neighbors' pets over the years. I have the high energy to play with our more spirited furry friends or can easily relax in quiet and provide company to our more mellow companions. I am a nurse and my schedule is inconsistent. I only work 2-3 days a week (only weekdays). I also work night shift 7pm-7am so I am more than capable of checking in and caring for pets before and after shifts. I'm great with a variety of different animals. You know your pet best, if they need anything I am very capable of doing it. Clean up duty, medication administrations, snuggles, running out energy, you name it!

About: I have had animals in the home my entire life. They are family and are treated as such. I look forward to caretaking for you and your fur babies! I am currently available weekdays and most weekends for scheduling house sitting. If you need a dependable person to watch your fur family drop me a message. Let’s schedule it today. All pets are different and have varying needs. I can walk, cuddle, bathe, give medication, or just sit with your senior. I will care for your fur families needs however they need.

“Is there an option for 100 stars?!? Celeste is a gem! She stayed with our two Pyrenees for 8 days and we never worried about a thing. We got pictures/videos every day and could see that our puppers were happy and well cared for. Celeste kept the house clean and kept the puppers even cleaner! We could tell she had brushed and groomed them throughout the week. She is also a talented artist and left a drawing of the puppers on our fridge. We highly recommend Celeste to care for your fur babies ♡”


About: While in high school and for a few years after I worked as a veterinarian assistant/technician (non-certified). I currently volunteer with a shelter. I am well versed in senior dog care as well as pets with medical issues, including an e-tube. I no longer have pets of my own at this time, as my 2 best girls have recently crossed the Rainbow Bridge. I’m not yet ready for my own, but I absolutely love pets and volunteering with shelters and pet sitting will help! I do work full-time, 6AM - 3PM, Monday through Friday, however, I work remotely and as long as you have Internet access I am available in your pet's home 24/7. I prefer to care for your pet in their own home, as it provides the most comfort and reassurance for them while staying in their familiar environment. Since I work remotely, I can take your pet outside for a 15-minute break every hour between 6 a.m. and 3 p.m. Additionally, outside of those hours, I’m available to let your pet enjoy the outdoors as much as they’d like, for as long as they want! I also love walks on nice days and would be thrilled to take your furry friend along with me.

About: Hello! I have always had a passion for all animals, fish to horses and everything in between! Ever since I was little I have always had some sort of pet, and when I turned 10 years old, I started my own neighborhood pet sitting business because I could just never get enough! I have volunteered with animal rescues all through out school as well. After high school I worked at a dog hotel then later just did in home pet sitting and dog walking full time. I also worked as a vet tech. Key points: -I have over 10 years of experience working with so many different ages, breeds, sizes, temperaments, etc.! -Can administer medications. -Can be able to identify issues. Behavioral or medical. -I also LOVE taking pictures. I will be more than happy to send you pictures of your pet while you're away! -Can also help with basic obedience training. Your pet is my passion, not my paycheck. I take the time THEY need, not just the time slot! I’m home full time and devote all my time to my pets! Numerous daily walks on my farm to stretch their legs and enjoy being outside. I like to help pets feel as if they’re on vacation too! I like to keep them on their same routines with extra enrichment to help them out while their owner is away. I’m a full-time dog mom and my day to day life revolves around my own personal pets! Pets are like children, and deserve undivided attention around the clock. I try to gather as much detailed information from the pet parent on what their pet’s current daily routine is to keep them happy and less stressed as well as be able to notice any irregularities or concerns.

About: I worked in a Doggy Daycare and Boarding facility in my home town for the last two years, through which I gained experience in both basic animal care and handling and administering medicine, and basic medical emergencies such as seizures, heat-related illness, and bloat. Before that job, I spent several years pet-sitting for a family friend, who had 2 dogs, 3 cats, and 2 rats. I can certainly provide references for both. I also have my own dog right now, a 2 year old (very high energy) pit mix named Miller. I’m currently a student at Troy University but my classes are all in the morning. I also work part time at a restaurant but can work around that easily. I don’t work every day at the restaurant though, I have every Sunday completely free and have 1-2 weeknights off as well. While I can’t provide care in my own home due to my lease, I will provide lots of play time, love, and affection for your fur baby at your home, as well as feeding, walks, etc. I can adjust to whatever energy level your pet has- if they want to run laps around the yard, then run we shall.

“Jesse is fantastic. I completely trust her with my three dogs and know they will be taken care of. She does a great job communicating when I am gone and she is dog-sitting. Highly recommend.”


Alexis B.

“Alexis was a great sitter! She loved our pups and took great care of them, and our house!”


Olivia P.
“Olivia is a wonderful caretaker! She is always happy and quick to help anytime I’ve needed her. She loves animals and I believe she was pursuing veterinarian school at one point. She’s super sweet and communicative and absolutely does not mind going the extra mile for someone in need. She took care of my senior dog and mid-aged dog while I was on Christmas break out of the country. She follows instructions and doesn’t hesitate to reach out with concerns. Olivia is a trustworthy individual in all aspects, but especially with attending to people and animals. You will not be disappointed if you hire Olivia for any of your needed pet services.”
