“Katie is AMAZING. Took such good care of my fur child. All the kids and doggos spoiled my dog with cuddles and attention. She was easy to communicate with, sent lots of pictures, and allowed us to do a meet and greet first. Will absolutely use her in the future.”


“Opal was amazing! She took on our sweet guy for a last minute booking. We received constant updates throughout his stay. She was very detailed oriented in getting to know him and what made him comfortable. We felt like he was safe and loved in our absence. We will absolutely we booking with her in the future.”


“Savannah was great! She even sat down with my dog, who is terrified of grooming, and brushed through her ridiculously large amount of fur for 45 minutes! You can tell she has a love for animals.”


“Nancy was fantastic with our two pups! Our babies stayed for 3 nights and were so well loved and cared for. Nancy sent us pics of them snuggling and running around in her yard. She has an entire doggy room in her home! She’s stocked on kennels/bowls and has a little doggy door for the dogs to go out. It’s very clear she loves dogs and has put so much time and love into that room and her pet sitting business. She even sent our dogs home with little goody bags! We will definitely send our dogs back 🤍”

“Rachel was quick to respond, very communicative, and sent lots of pictures! You can tell she loves animals and that was shown as my sweet girl was truly spoiled. Would love to use her again the future.”


“Randy did an amazing job of watching my Suki. When I dropped her off he showed me around his house and yard, so I could see where she’d be living while I was away. His home is gorgeous with a really amazing backyard she can run around in. He sent me plenty of pictures and videos so I could see how she was doing. He really went above and beyond. He took her to the pet store and got her a new toy, took her to the dog park multiple times, even gave her a bath and got a special dog shampoo for her. I’ve used this app a lot and never had anyone do as much for my dog as he did. I couldn’t believe he’d been on the app so long and my dog was the first one he’d watched. I’d 10000% recommend Randy to watch your fur baby if you want the peace of mind of knowing they’ll be treated like family. I’d give him 10 stars if I could. ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ Thanks again Randy!”


“He was absolutely amazing with my baby! I highly recommend him!! I have an orange female cat. She's very, very feisty. She left a huge scratch on him and he wasn't upset at all. He calmly reached out to me and even though I offered to pick her up early, he told me that it was totally fine, that he recognized she was scared, and placed her in an area where she would feel more safe until I was able to come get her. If you need a wonderful, understanding, and compassionate sitter, this is your person. I love how he understood that she needed a higher level of care and took that on hands down, no questions asked. Thank you for being so amazing to my baby!!!”


“Laurel was amazing! I accidentally booked Finn’s pickup a day early, and she was super understanding and flexible about it. She took such great care of Finn and made sure he was comfortable and happy the whole time. She also sent us updates and cute photos, which really helped us relax while we were away. You can tell she genuinely loves animals and treats them like her own. We’re so grateful for everything she did—would 100% trust her with Finn again!”


“Raeann made me feel at ease about leaving my animals with her. She sent pictures and videos and texted me to let me know how they were doing. The bonus is that her family seems to love animals just as much as she does. So grateful that they could all give love and affection to my fur babies while I was gone. Would definitely book her again.”


“5 stars! Great communication from pre booking to drop off and continuing through pickup. Took great care of my 2 dogs, sent pictures and updates during their stay. Perfect sitter in a comfy home setting. Highly recommend”


About: Caring for pets is something I truly love to do. Animals have been a part of my life for as long as I can remember - dogs, cats, birds, and more! With over 15 years of hands-on experience, I understand how to meet the needs of pets of all ages, temperaments, and sizes. Whether it's snuggling on the couch, going for energetic walks, or providing gentle car to seniors, I treat EVERY pet like my own baby. **I, myself, am always anxious to leave my pets with someone else - especially a stranger. You WILL receive multiple daily photos of your pets while they are in my care, because I know what it's like to be away from them & miss them. :) One of my cats has HCM (heart condition) and has to take 3 medications daily. I am comfortable administering medication (liquid, pill, transdermal, etc.) if this is needed. I am patient and comfortable with pets who are wary of meeting new strangers. Please just let me know if they are allowed treats, toys, etc. while they are getting to know me. If allowed, I like to bring a treat with me for the first visit so we start off with a positive experience. Pet care is a full-time passion for me, not just a side gig! I'm available for drop-in visits, walks, and your baby can stay with me if need be. I absolutely love meeting new fury friends and giving them the attention and affection the deserve while you are away. I share my home with my husband, two Sphynx (hairless) cats, and two playful Maltipoos who loves making new friends! If your pet prefers solo time or does not like cats, no worries - my cats have their own bedroom and can stay there when needed. Your pet's comfort, safety, and happiness are always my top priority.

About: What sets us apart from other sitters? Our genuine love for all animals and firsthand experience as pet owners! As proud parents to a 7-year-old cat who adores cuddles and chasing her fishing pole toy, and a playful 1-year-old Golden Retriever who thrives on walks and canine companionship, we understand the unique needs of both cats and dogs. We've used Rover ourselves when traveling, so we know how crucial it is to find someone who'll shower your furry family members with love and attention. That's exactly what we aim to provide while you're away, whether for a vacation or just a day out. For dogs, we offer: Personalized walks Engaging play sessions (fetch, tug-of-war, you name it!) Whatever activities your pup enjoys most For cats, we provide: Stimulating entertainment with Cat TV Interactive play using our special fishing pole toy Enrichment activities tailored to your cat's preferences Gentle petting and affection for less active cats Meticulous litter box maintenance Our goal is simple: to care for your pets as if they were our own, ensuring they're happy, healthy, and thoroughly pampered in your absence. Let us give your beloved companions the love and attention they deserve! I work part time from home and in the office. I work from home on Tuesdays, Thursdays and Fridays. I would love for your pet to come join me or check in on your pet and take them on a walk or a potty break while you are gone during the day. I have a fenced in back yard for your dog to play with my super friendly dog. If your animal does not like cats or dogs a stay at my house may not be the right fit. But I can still do drop ins at your home.

About: I've been around dogs and horses my entire life, growing up on a farm where animal care was just part of daily life. We have raised and trained dogs and horses for years, and caring for animals isn’t just something we do but it’s who we are. Your dog will have plenty of space to run, a calm rural setting to relax in, and loving attention while you're away. Whether they’re used to the country life or not, they’ll feel right at home here. Animal care is a core part of our daily routine. Between my lifelong experience with dogs, horses, and all other farm animals, Dollie working from home, and our reliable farm help on-site every day, pet care is built into everything we do. Feeding, walking, playtime, and supervision are all part of our normal day and not something extra. Whether it's early morning or evening, your dog will get the attention and care they need in a calm, structured, and loving farm environment. When caring for pets at the farm, we make sure they’re comfortable, safe, and well-loved. We have a 10-run kennel setup that gives each dog more space than most homes—plenty of room to run, play, and relax in a calm, country setting. We can keep your dog in their own private run or pair them with a friendly companion if they enjoy socializing. Each day includes plenty of exercise, attention, and hands-on care. If you prefer, we can bring your dog into the house each night, or let them enjoy the large runs 24/7. During hot weather, we can also set up a fan for your dog’s comfort. We’re happy to adjust to your pet’s needs to make sure they feel right at home.

About: My sister and I fostered all types of dogs and cats through the Greater Birmingham Humane Society since 2020. Since I have moved to Calera, I now assist locally with CHILTON County TNR. As of now, I take care of 2 dogs and 2 cats, which were all rescues. Im currently working Mondays through Fridays, which allows for free weekends to help out with your fur babies! I also have availability in the evenings of the week, just ask me about specific times! I have a big fenced in backyard with some big trees that allow some good shade. There is also a back porch with an awesome fan because we all get hot in this Alabama heat. I have 2 friendly dogs that can help your dog get some energy out or they can be separated by crates which I can provide, depending on your preference.
