Maronda was very accommodating and fast to respond to my last-minute request. She was very diligent about her scheduled arrival time. I much appreciated the video updates she’d send after each visit. Our pup was very happy with Maronda’s care. We will absolutely use Maronda’s help again in the future.

Naila met with my cat and I prior to her first drop-in to get familiar with her. She was super sweet and did really well with my cat. She was on time for the drop-ins and sent plenty of pics of my kitty while I was gone ❤️ I will definitely book with her again.

This was our first time leaving our puppy overnight. We could not ask for a better person! Kayla was wonderful and helped us calm our anxious feelings about leaving him. The pictures gave me a sense of peace that he was in great hands. Will definitely be using Kayla soon!

About: Coming from a family who shares a love for animals, the passion I have for them has always been present. I have experience in walking, feeding, bathing, playing, and showing nothing but love to the animals I have had the joy of taking care of throughout the past 10 years. From taking care of our family dog who is now a senior dog, to doing check ins for my friends, I provide whatever care they may need. I am currently doing part-time work. My main availability is Monday-Friday 9am-8pm. Availability is less likely on weekends, however I can work something out if needed. I have a fenced in backyard with a ramp for our senior dog who can’t use stairs. There are plenty of toys for them to play with.

About: I have worked at an animal clinic for 10 years. I started out working in the kennels taking care of the animals boarding. I worked my way up to now assisting in surgeries and treatments. I also do some grooming like nail trims, anal glands, all over cuts, and baths. I can administer any medications needed. I am currently working on shifting my schedule into being a stay at home mom so I am available all throughout the week and the weekends. I have a fenced in yard with 2 playful pups of my own. I also live in a subdivision so any pup that needs a nice long walk I can do!

About: I have taken care of dogs big and small and of all ages! From little puppies all the way to the well loved senior fur babies, I’ve taken care of them all. I’ve trained my own two labradors and have been a caregiver for friends and families senior dogs who needed to be watched and given medication. I would love to gain another fur friend and take care of your fur baby :) I currently work from home and have several days a month where my whole day is almost completely open! My weekends are also normally wide open as well. Having dogs at my own home, I take care of them a majority of the day while working from home. I go to the gym daily in Birmingham in the afternoon which is a perfect time to check in on your babies for you. I take our animals on walks with leashes and harnesses. I Always make sure they are well fed and watered and get all their energy out to have the absolute best naps!

We are so thankful that we chose Marilyn to take care of our new puppy Nola while we were away for a week. We were apprehensive about leaving her but unfortunately, she could not travel with us. Marilyn sent photos and videos of her visits of Nola playing outside every day and it is clear she really spent a lot of time with her. We highly recommend anyone looking for a dog sitter to contact Marilyn as she is the best! We will definitely use her again.

About: I have taken care of dogs since I was 5 and have had all ages so I have had experience in how handle them all. i do not go to school until after 9am and I am able to be home by 11:30am Monday thru Friday. I can be home all day Saturday and Sundays. Monday-Wednesday I typically work but have a flexible schedule and can change it if needed. So this will allow me to be the only person caring for your animal. In my home we let our cats roam and have their bowls out so they can eat whenever. If you need me to keep your cat on a schedule I can also do that. We feed our dog morning and night. I let him out in the morning and let him stay outside in our backyard/deck until I or someone else get home.

Take care of friends and families animals all the time. I’m currently only working on Wednesday and maybe other days but I’m rarely busy so I would love to take care of any kind of furry friend that needs care and love when home alone. I do not have a fenced yard but I have leads in my yard that your furry friend can be hooked to by their collar or harness so they can play with my two friendly dogs who love making new friends

I assist friends, family, and neighbors with theirs pet care needs and advice as well. I am currently taking classes online for my associates degree so that does not interfere with my availability.

I have a large fenced in yard at my mom’s place and her two friendly medium sized dogs if your dog wants company. I am happy to stay at a clients home with their pet as much as needed.

About: I’ve been working with Pawms Pet Resort for almost 5 years. I manage the daycare, which has an average of 50 ish big dogs at a time; and I’ve bathed, fed, or walked every breed of dog you can think of. Walking, bathing and loving pets is all I know! I also can medicate them if your pups are sick. I have over 1000 hours of experience and you will have absolutely nothing to worry about. I give the best work possible for better prices than all of the big businesses around town. I have unconditional love for standard pets of all shapes and sizes. I’ve broken up plenty of dog fights and been bitten, but it doesn’t bother me anymore. If worse comes to worst I also know CPR for dogs. I am a kennel technician at the Pawms Pet Resort in Avondale and taking care of, bathing, feeding and making them feel loved is what I do for a living. I just moved out, however we had a Boston terrier and a beagle; and we would play with them in our fenced backyard or take them on walks around the block. I now live next to highland park and I also work at a doggy daycare.

Bernadette was the best pet sitter i’ve ever had. I was called out of town unexpectedly due to a family emergency and she was thankfully able to fit me into her schedule even on such a short notice. She kept me updated everyday with pictures of my pets. I felt my pets were in the safest hands. 10/10 would rebook with her again.
