House Sitting Lake Purdy

“It was a pleasure having Joanne stay in my home with my two pups. She was great at sending pics and updates while I was away. The dogs were well taken care of and happy! I have already booked her again.”

Sheila D.

“Catherine is the best! She is so sweet and intentional, and my sweet Knox had the best time with her. She even offers crafts, homemade treats, and paw-decures!! 💅🏼 Will be booking again”

Kelsey P.

“Libby was great with all 3 of our pups! She was so communicative and accommodating with our travel changes. We will definitely book with her in the future!”

Laura S.

“Jessica is a caring and reliable sitter for us when we are out of town. She stays in contact with me as often as I send her messages and she kindly sends photos throughout the day. We will continue to book her services and we are thankful we met her.”

Deonna H.

“Evie did an outstanding job with our needy puppy. He has a liver issue (pending diagnosis) and it’s hard to get him to eat. Evie did her very best, and sent frequent updates and videos. It was hard being away from our boys, but we had a close family member get married in another city. And when our plane developed a mechanical issue mid air, and we got diverted and very delayed, Evie was able to stay several hours longer to help us. We appreciate all she did for us!”

About: I've grown up with dogs my entire life, always at least 2, sometimes even 3! I'm very comfortable around all types of dogs: sizes, breeds, and temperaments. I also have a scientific background in handling different types of animals so consider myself extremely comfortable with your dogs! I'm available any weekday before 8am and after 4pm! Weekends are also available. I would love to meet your furry friend! I'm looking to help! I am eager and able to care for your dogs in the comfort of their own home! Feel free to message me with any details to make sure your furry friend is well cared for!

About: Since 2016, I’ve provided loving, reliable care for dogs of every size and personality. Whether it’s overnight house sitting, medication support, long walks, or simply being a comforting presence, I make sure each animal feels safe, understood, and genuinely cared for. I communicate clearly and consistently, keeping you updated so you can relax while you’re away. My approach is gentle, attentive, and tailored to each dog’s routine and emotional needs. With references available and years of experience, I offer loving care when you can’t be there—because your dog deserves to feel at home, even when you’re not. I currently work part time and do online school part time. I am a hospitality coordinator at a business and then am working towards my ultrasound tech degree. I am gone for about 6 hours a day for work and then can spend the rest of the time at your house or dropping by to care for the dogs. I love movies and being a home body, so it is the perfect fit for me! I do not care for pets in my own home. I am available for overnight sitting in your home or drop in care. I care about safety and making sure it is secure and locked each time I leave. I wash the sheets if I stay overnight and make it seem like I was never there except for well-cared for pets.

About: I’ve loved dogs my whole life, starting with my childhood pup and later fostering for a local rescue until I became a happy foster fail! 🐾 While I’m not fostering anymore, I still volunteer with the rescue whenever I can. I also specialize in giving medication and following routines, so you can count on me to keep your pup’s care consistent and stress-free. Caring for dogs has always been a passion of mine, and I’d love to give your pup the same love, attention, and belly rubs I’ve given to all the dogs who’ve been part of my life. PLEASE READ ME: 30 minute walks are weather permitted. If you book a 30 minute walk and it is pouring outside, I will take your furbaby outside to potty but the remaining time will turn into an inside visitation. Consisting of belly rubs and throwing a toy around. HOUSE SITTING PLEASE READ ME: I do have a very friendly golden retriever who accompanies me on all my house sitting bookings. She’s friendly to all pets, dogs & cats. Please keep that in mind before booking, thank you! “I work part time, so I have a flexible schedule that allows me to fit pet care into my days with ease. I enjoy making time for walks, play, and routines it’s something I look forward to each week. While I don’t have the space to host dogs in my own home, I’d love to care for your pups in the comfort of theirs. I follow routines closely, give lots of love, and make sure they feel safe and happy while you’re away.

About: What sets me apart is my extensive hands-on experience caring for animals in both veterinary and everyday settings. I graduated from Auburn University with a degree in Animal Science Pre-Vet and have worked as a veterinary assistant and kennel technician, caring for up to 40 dogs and cats at a time. I’m comfortable with animals of all sizes and personalities and have experience administering medications, monitoring health and behavior, and recognizing when something may not be quite right. My love for animals goes far beyond work. I’ve volunteered walking and fostering dogs through the humane society and have run my own pet-care business caring for dogs, cats, and horses. I also have extensive veterinary experience with horses, including working at Hagyard Equine Medical Institute and Alabama Performance Horse Services. Animals have always been a huge part of my life, and I’ll treat your pets with the same attention, patience, and care I would want for my own. My schedule is flexible, which allows me to make time for walks, drop-in visits, feeding, playtime, and plenty of attention throughout the day. I’m also happy to work with each pet’s normal routine and schedule so they feel as comfortable as possible while you’re away. I know how important it is to trust the person caring for your pets because I feel the same way about my own! I have a cat, Edo, and a dog, Henderson, who are both very loved and have taught me that every animal has their own personality, routine, and needs. I always want pets in my care to feel as safe and comfortable as I would want Edo and Henderson to feel with someone else. When caring for pets in a client’s home, I’m respectful of both their space and their normal routine. I follow all feeding, walking, medication, and care instructions closely and make sure pets receive plenty of attention while also respecting their boundaries. With my veterinary and animal-care experience, safety is always a priority, and I pay close attention to changes in behavior, appetite, or overall well-being.

About: I have cared for a variety of animals and am comfortable caring for any pet (including exotic or uncommon), any age, any size, any level of care, and any personality! I have past experience caring for senior animals (including dogs, cats, and horses) as well as animals under age 1 (including dogs and cats). I often volunteer at the Birmingham Humane Society! Although I am not offering training services, I have experience training and am willing to uphold any training regimen. I have experience shadowing a household pet veterinarian as well as an equine veterinarian. I also have farm animal care experience. I love playtime and am very attentive! I am very excited to care for your pet! I am available to sit weekends and after 7 pm on weekdays. I can do daytime feedings or walks 2 or 3 times a day. I am available for boarding weekends and weekdays after 7 pm. My apartment is the perfect environment for boarding! I am available for boarding some weekdays all day, but I will need notice 5 days and to coordinate in advance for boarding on a weekday before 7 pm due to shifting schedule days. For walks, let me know an estimated average walk time for your pet so that they are comfortable and happy! For sitting, I will clean any pet messes if needed. Require a decently clean home and closer distance if overnight sitting is needed. Please, let me know of any concerns ahead of time. For boarding, I am in a one bedroom apartment with no other pets and decent play space. I have no toys, litter boxes, or cat trees so will need to provide their own. I live next to a large unfenced park. The apartment is clean and tidy and safe for pets. The apartment building also has a pet bathing station available if your pet needs cleaning. If you are concerned with a public bathing station, I am perfectly comfortable bathing your pet in the bath in my apartment. Please, let me know of any health or hygiene issues beforehand. Medications/allergies/health concerns are extremely important to me.

About: I have had dogs since I was 8 years old, from Shih Tzus to Goldens and from puppies to seniors! I am comfortable caring for dogs of all shapes, sizes, and temperaments. Whether it is keeping up with the energy of a new puppy, managing a multi-dog household, or providing the gentle and patient care that senior dogs need, I adapt my routine to what makes each pet feel safe, comfortable, happy, and loved. When staying overnight, I focus on maintaining your dog's regular schedule in the comfort of their own home. You can also have peace of mind knowing that your house is secure, your plants are watered, and everything is being looked after while you are away. House sitting is my primary pet-care focus and one of my main work priorities, so I keep my schedule flexible around the needs and routines of the animals I am staying with. I do not have a rigid daily schedule, which allows me to accommodate feeding times, walks, medications, playtime, and other routines as needed. These responsibilities come first while I am caring for a pet. I may step out for an hour or two at a time to run errands or grab food, but my personal hobbies and activities are planned around those responsibilities, not the other way around. I care for pets in their own home by following the routines and instructions their owners provide as closely as possible. I make sure feeding schedules, walks, medications, playtime, and household rules remain consistent so pets can stay comfortable in a familiar environment. I pay extremely close attention to doors, gates, leashes, food restrictions, and anything else that could affect their safety. I also keep the home secure and tidy, clean up after the pets, and communicate with the owner if I notice anything unusual in their behavior, appetite, routine, or environment. I am also happy to handle routine household tasks such as watering plants, retrieving mail, and keeping an eye on the property while you are away. My goal is to make the experience as normal and low-stress as possible for both the pets and their owners.

About: Although I don’t have any professional experience caring for dogs, I do have experience caring for family and friend pets, which included all the services offered here. On top of that, I also used to have a dog, so I also have experience there. I am also hoping to be a veterinarian one day, and while I also plan to go to animal hospitals and shelters, I want to use this app as yet a other opportunity to see if I am truly interested in my future profession. I hope you choose to solicit me and my services which include boarding, walking, check ins, and any other services needed to provide the best care for your animals. I hope you have a wonderful day :)

“So grateful for the care she provided. Penelope had a wonderful time with Emily and her family. She was happy, calm, and clearly loved. Couldn’t have asked for a better experience.”

“Aniya is amazing! Our Millie had just had surgery and Aniya was amazing with following all vet instructions and keeping us updated while we were away on vacation.”

About: Hi! My name is Adrian, and I've been around dogs and cats for most of my life. I grew up helping care for large dogs and have always been the person my family relies on to feed, play with, and look after our pets. I especially love large breeds and enjoy spending time outdoors, playing, and making sure dogs get the attention and exercise they need. Every pet has their own personality, and I take the time to earn their trust so they feel comfortable and safe while you're away. I'll treat your pets with the same care and respect I'd want someone to show mine. I'm currently very flexible and have plenty of availability throughout the week for house sitting, drop-in visits, and walks. Because my schedule is open, I can dedicate plenty of attention to your pets instead of rushing between commitments. I communicate regularly, send photo updates, and always make sure owners know their pets are happy and well cared for. For everyone's safety and comfort, I currently only offer care in my client's home. My family dog is not comfortable around unfamiliar animals, so I don't provide boarding in my own home. When caring for pets in your home, I carefully follow your routines, make sure fresh water is always available, maintain feeding and bathroom schedules, provide plenty of attention and exercise, and send regular photo updates so you can relax while you're away. I also treat every home with the same respect and care that I would expect for my own. My goal is for you to come home to a happy pet and a clean home

“Madison was great with Leia who can be a challenge. She was patient and professional. Always on time and took good care of our home as well. I highly recommend her.”

About: I’m the one your dog wants to stay with! Playful, I’m just as energetic as your pet😁 I love to give belly rubs 😁 I will treat your pet just like my own Im home evenings, weekends and overnights to care for your fur baby. We go for walks in the yard. Contact me if you have any questions about a schedule. I don’t house pets in crates although I do have them if needed. My home is pet friendly. It’s a safe environment. My doors are locked and I have a fenced in yard so they won’t escape.

“Brittany was GREAT! This is our first time using Rover and I have been skeptical, but I have no regrets now after using Brittany for a full weekend with our three dogs. We have a large breed dog and two dogs with special requirements and she had no issues bonding with them and walking them on their leashes. She spent lots of time with them during each visit and sent lots of pictures and updates for each visit. I always have very high anxiety when boarding my dogs or leaving them with a friend, but with her my mind was completely at ease the entire time. We will definitely be using Rover and Brittany again for our future needs!”

“I would book Kamryn to watch Diggs a thousand times over! She took extra time and care to make sure he was comfortable with her (he’s scan be pretty anxious with new people). She updated me several times a day about potties and feedings and took her time to hang out and play with him. I felt so comfortable leaving Diggs in her care!! I cannot thank her enough for the extra steps and reassurance she provided me that he was in the best care while I way away!!”

About: Since a young age, I have had dogs and a few cats in my household. We have had dogs ranging from newborn to 17 years old. I am versed in taking care of pets, whether they are sick, require extra care, or extra monitoring around your other pets. I have a flexible job, so I am able to work and not work when needed. I prefer to do Pet care over my regular job. I have several leashes and collars, and am very familiar with the Tuscaloosa and Birmingham surrounding areas. I am willing to guard your pet with my life.
