“We couldn’t have asked for a better dog sitter than Grace! She took wonderful care of our dog Tilly while we were away for our engagement party. From the start, Grace was incredibly responsive and made sure she understood everything she needed to know about Tilly’s care. She checked in on her three times throughout the day and kept us updated with messages and adorable photos during each visit, which gave us such peace of mind. It was clear that Tilly was comfortable and happy in her care. We’re so grateful for Grace’s reliability and attentiveness—highly recommend her to anyone looking for a thoughtful and responsible sitter!”
“We love Megan! She provides amazing detail in her updates and lots of pictures, which gives us great peace of mind. She takes great care of our fur babies and we will definitely be using her services in the future. Highly recommended!”
About: I have taken care of and loved animals since early childhood, getting my first dog at 6 years old. My father goes on work trips several times a month and I am able to balance taking care of my dog with my college and work schedule. I take Abby, my current labrador, to the park and lake often, prioritizing her health and love for the outdoors. I am a college student, but have plenty of time to take care of your pets. I am free in the evenings on weekdays and on weekends. In my client's home, I will treat their pets and space with respect. On top of basic needs such as feeding them and giving them water, I will play with them outside ( if there is an area for that) and shower them with attention
“It was my first time using a pet sitter service and Jordan was just the best kitty sitter for my girl cat. Even when my cat is super shy and scary, she loved Jordan that much. She followed all my instructions and my baby was super happy with her. I will hire her again for sure. Thanks a lot Jordan!”
“Jordan has a great eye for detail and I can tell my babies miss her after her stay. Each visit is accompanied by little notes and cute pictures, I recommend Jordan to all my friends and neighborhood paws!”
“We booked Annika a second time & as before, she was fabulous in every way! She was very patient with our Senior little man, extremely dependable & sent great updates. We'll be reaching out again!”
“Kenzie was amazing! She communicated with us everyday ant videos and pictures. Kenzie went above and beyond making sure our boys were stressed. This was our first time using Rover & Kenzie so we will be a repeat customer.”
About: I have been an avid pet lover, owner, and caregiver my entire life! Throughout my teenage years I worked, and rode, for many top equestrian facilities in Georgia providing weekend barn care such as stall cleaning, feeding, and turnout. I have provided farm/pet sitting for numerous clients, friends, and families over the years, being solely responsible for up to 30 horses, as well as their pets, at one time. Most recently, I have 5 years of experience working in the veterinary industry. I currently have 2 dogs! A 4 year old Golden Retriever and a 7 year old Shepsky who both are my best friends! I currently do work full-time in Birmingham, however I am off every Friday and available on weekends as well! Mondays-Fridays I can provide afternoon and evening pet care services as well. At home, we have a fully fenced in yard and both of our dogs are friendly and love to play! I can also crate your pets if need be, and am comfortable administering oral/topical medications.
“Mallory was so sweet with our cats - she had one of them purring in her arms on her first visit, which never happens that quickly! She was also a trooper when one of our babies was unusually tricky about getting his insulin, and it was clear that she took their care very seriously. She was responsible, communicative, and friendly - and really couldn't have done a better job. Our cats are family members and we have high standards for their care, so that is saying a lot. :) We'd love to have her petsit for us again anytime and would definitely recommend her to anyone!”
About: Ive always lived with either dogs, cats, fish, or reptiles. Animals have always been apart of my life and they will continue to be so. I work full time during the week but I make my own schedule so I am flexible. I am primarily available for Friday- Sunday pet care. I own a german shepherd Harley who is 5 and has to have topical drops and medicine given orally daily. So I am decently experienced in giving medication and will treat you pet as my own while taking care of them.
