House Sitting in Maytown

About: I can't remember a time in my life I did not have my own pets. I have taken care of my own pets all of my life and am a lifelong animal caregiver. I have experience as a foster mom for an animal rescue as well and I enjoyed taking care of so many different babies and helping them find their forever homes. I have always had both cat and dog companions and have advocated and helped friends and family with their pets as well. I currently have a senior dog, a senior cat, who have both been with me for over 13 years, three cats who are two years old and a leopard gecko! I would love to meet you and help with your pet care needs! I'm currently available part-time, on Monday- Friday from 9:00 am- 1:30 pm. I would be happy to work around your schedule as much as possible! I have a fenced in yard and pets of my own. I understand each pet has their own personality and needs tailored to them. I will be an active listener and always treat and care for your pets according to your wishes!

About: I have always loved animals and have taken care of one kind of animal or another for as long as I can remember. As a teen I volunteered at animal shelters, then as adult I became a foster for the Humane Society in Jacksonville Florida for years before moving to Birmingham last year. I miss having the opportunity to care for a variety of animals and getting to know them if only for a short while. I've taken care of very tiny newborns, sick, old, special needs and of course healthy animals. It would be my pleasure to welcome your fur babies with open arms into my home or yours. They will be treated like my own. If you are in the process of training, I will pick up where you left off with potty, leash training, etc. I can give baths and brushes if needed. I am a independent contractor and I make my own schedule. My work is very pet friendly so at the discretion of the parents, if they enjoy car rides, they can can either come with or I will stay home with them during their stay. I am very flexible. Whether my home or yours, I will follow your instructions / schedule down to the last detail. I always strive to provide a safe, loving, fun and learning environment that caters to your individual pet's needs.

About: I would love to walk/ hike with your pet, care for it at your home, or drop in to let them out. I have always loved animals ever since I was little. My first job was a pet sitting service, I was frequently asked to watch neighbors dogs, cats, bunnies, fish, etc. My friends often rely on me to take care of their animals while out of town and I have experience with older dogs as well as puppies. My dog passed away earlier this year and I won't be ready for anther dog anytime soon, but I would love to share love with your animals. I work seasonally and am currently off for my winter season. I would love to spend time with your animals either at your home or on walks/hikes! I can not watch pets in my own home but in my client's home I make sure to follow their rules and ask the important questions up front. I make sure to not leave pets alone too long and to be there for feeding times and to keep them company at night.

“Sara is truly a great sitter. She took very good care of my senior dog. I told her and he showed her all of the issues that he has and she handled them with great care which put me at ease. I'll definitely be using her again.”

About: I’ve cared for dogs for family and friends, providing love, attention, daily walks, playtime, and supervision. I also have house-sitting experience, keeping pets and homes safe and happy. I work full-time during the week, but I’m able to provide walks, potty breaks, and check-ins for pets during mornings, evenings, or lunch hours. I have more flexibility and availability from Friday through Sunday, making it easy to offer extended care, walks, or overnight stays. I’m committed to creating a consistent, reliable routine that fits both the pet’s needs and their owner’s schedule. I’ve cared for dogs for family and close friends for years including Golden Retrievers, Schnauzers, Goldendoodles, and Corgis. Each one has their own personality, and I love getting to know what makes every dog special. Even though I don’t currently have a dog of my own, I absolutely love spending time with them and make sure every pet I watch gets plenty of love, attention, and care. I’m also experienced with house sitting, so I’ll treat your home with the same respect and reliability that I give to your pets. Whether you need daily check-ins, walks, or overnight care, I’m here to help you feel confident your pet is in great hands. I’m responsible, communicative, and always happy to send photo updates so you can relax while you’re away!

“Alora did a great job housesitting for our two pups. She was available on short notice, and she even made time to come by for a meet and greet. One of our dogs has stranger danger, but she liked Alora immediately! Alora was communicative and sent lots of pictures. I was able to relax while traveling knowing my pups were in good hands. I definitely recommend booking with her!”

About: I have owned two dogs, a cat, and a few fish back home in California. I have had experience with clipping nails, giving fluids, cleaning litter boxes, and the such. I am a medical student and have extra time throughout this semester! I have been missing having a pet of my own, so being able to take care of your precious animal would mean so much to me! I have an apartment of my own, there are several open green spaces that allow for dogs to play and use the restroom. I do not currently have any pets so any animal I board would have my full attention.

“Ari did an amazing job watching our home and our two dogs. Both dogs are temperamental and cannot be boarded and we had a lot of special requests for how to care for them and Ari was very accommodating and attentive to our pets. Would definitely recommend for in home dog sitting!!”

About: I’ve always loved animals and have years of hands-on experience caring for dogs of different sizes, breeds, and personalities, including my own 1 year old mini Goldendoodle. I’m patient, attentive, and reliable, and I understand how important it is to make pets feel safe, comfortable, and loved while their owners are away. I’m experienced with walks, feeding schedules, playtime, basic grooming, administering simple routines, and giving pets the attention they need to feel at ease. I’m especially good with energetic dogs, puppies who need consistency, and dogs who benefit from calm, gentle care. I treat every pet like they’re my own and always make sure they get plenty of love, exercise, and supervision. Pet care fits naturally into my weekly routine because I’m organized, active, and used to building my days around responsibilities. I’m great at sticking to schedules for walks, feedings, potty breaks, playtime, and check-ins. I enjoy being active, so regular walks and exercise are something I genuinely look forward to. I make sure every pet gets dependable care, attention, and consistency, and I’m committed to keeping owners updated so they feel confident while they’re away. Safety and trust are my top priorities with every pet. Whether I’m caring for pets in my home or in a client’s home, I always make sure the environment is clean, secure, and calm. I pay close attention to routines, feeding instructions, leash safety, and any special needs or behaviors so pets feel comfortable and stress-free. I never leave pets unsupervised in unsafe situations, and I always treat each home with respect. I know how important it is for pet parents to feel confident, so I focus on clear communication, reliability, and giving every pet patient, loving care.

“Absolute top notch! Thorough and attention to detail. Kept us up to date on the day to day. We were so happy to have Jessie take care of a pups and house. We hope she is available every time we go out of town on an extended vacation.”

About: I grew up with dogs my entire life till i moved to college when I was 18. After that, I worked at a doggie daycare where I worked with large groups of dogs, helped socialize reactive dogs, exercised overactive dogs, and looked after boarded dogs for long periods. I'm currently a full-time student and looking for a part-time job. I am free early in the morning before class and in the afternoon to give all your pups the attention they need and deserve. I can't board in my apartment, but I can dog-sit in the comfort of their home base. I provide attentive, reliable care for every pet, focusing on safety, consistency, and making sure they feel comfortable in their own environment. In your home, I’m respectful of your space and keep everything clean and secure. I also provide regular photo updates so you can feel confident that your pet is safe, happy, and well cared for. Your pet’s well-being is always my top priority, and I treat every animal like they’re my own.

“Sarah was beyond amazing! 10/10 I will always book her. She kept us updated about everything, sent videos, and was able to give one of my cats her daily medicine. Couldn’t have been a better experience.”

“Regan was an absolute blessing. My dog loved being able to spend time with her, and was really excited that she brought her dog Finn as well so he could have a buddy. She kept me up to date during their stay together, provided me plenty of pictures and made sure my dog was well taken care of while I was out of town. He especially loved the walks she would take him on with Finn and the extra attention he got from both of them.”

“I would highly recommend Riley. I used his services as a house sitter to take care of my Pekingese, who is very shy. She warmed up to Riley almost instantly, which is a testament to him. He left my house in the same condition as to when I left it: very clean. I greatly appreciate him taking care of my pet and my house. I would describe Riley as very friendly, honest and reliable. He's obviously a pet lover. What more can you ask for in someone to help you with your pet's needs?”
