About: As a dog owner myself, I know how important it is for your babies to have the best care they can. With over a year of experience taking care of fur babies, I do my best to do just that. I love being able to spend quality time with pets and giving them the love and attention they deserve! As a full time student at South Alabama, it’s very important that I find time to do something that I love, and taking care of animals is one of those things. Though I typically have classes all day on Mondays and Wednesdays, the other days of the week are mostly open for me to come in and spend some quality time with your pets! We can always discuss more details and what will work best for you and your baby! By coming in-home to take care of your pet, I offer them the safety and comfort of being in their own home, but I can also take them places like the park to get their energy out and let them have some fun!


“Courtney was 100% professional from the start. She was communicative, quick to respond (to initial request, questions, a change in the stay plan, etc.) and very clearly is a dog lover! Courtney made drop in visits for Molly while I was away for the weekend, and sent pictures throughout the time I was gone and updates. She also pulled my mail inside (THANKS COURTNEY!) and kept me informed of how things were going. When I returned home, Molly was happy and relaxed. I look forward to having Courtney care for Molly and her brother, Senna, in the future!”



“Great communication and send lots of pictures of my little one which I love. She actually plays with my girl and takes excellent care of her.”


About: I grew up with two dogs and now frequently take care of my sister’s pitbull, Squishy! I love taking dog’s for walks (long or short), playing fetch, or even just chilling with them in the house! I currently work full-time and my schedule can vary week-to-week. I would love nothing more than to take care of your pet during my time-off so please reach out! I will always be sure to respect your home and pet! I look forward to working with your pet’s needs to ensure they live the best life possible!

“Sophie was fantastic! She really cared about my cat and went above and beyond to make sure he was comfortable while I was away. She even offered to take him on walks since he loves going outside. I felt totally at ease knowing he was in such good hands, and I can tell my cat liked her too! Highly recommend!”


About: I’ve taken care of animals since I was 8. I’ve volunteered at the vet clinic my mom worked at I’ve also saved many strays and helped them find loving homes. I’ve trained my dog many things not saying I’m a trainer but do know some tips and tricks. I would love to help you with your babies when you need it and can’t bring your baby with you I’m currently in a welding class at AIDT from 8-12 and currently don’t have a job so I have plenty of time to play with your furry friend(s) I can board at my house on the weekends I do have 3 dogs that live at my house as well so plenty of fun and playmates. All are fixed and up to date on shots. I have a fenced yard and a pond in the back for the babies that can’t resist swimming. I have 3 dogs 1 being mine and the other two being my grandparents.

About: I have been a pet owner my whole life and love all animals! I also have been a pet caretaker on the side for many years for my neighbors and enjoy taking care of people’s pets while their away! I am a public school teacher and would love to take care of your fur babies! I have a flexible schedule since I’m off all holidays and summer. I have a fenced in yard as well as a screened in patio with a doggy door. My dogs enjoys playing in the yard and we love hanging outside with them. My dogs stay inside and are a big part of our family. We take them for walks in the adjoining neighborhood since they have a sidewalk. I live in a small one street neighborhood where all our neighbors are very close and look out of each other.

“Kaitlyn was our sweet angel who cared for our fur babies. We don’t leave them often so Maggie can be difficult, but she was so sweet and handled her with genuine care and love. We will definitely be asking her again to come over in the future. Thank you Kaitlyn”


“Kerrington takes good care of all our babies which includes a cat, dogs and fish. It makes leaving them much less stressful knowing they are in capable hands. Highly recommend.”


“Allison did drop-in visits for my dogs several times a day while I was out of town for a long weekend. From the meet and greet they instantly warmed to her and I knew they would be in good hands. Allison sent regular pictures and updated me on all their antics. It was great to know that they were happy and being well cared for!”


About: I have a deep love for dogs and years of hands-on experience caring for pups of all ages, from playful puppies to wise seniors. I have so much compassion in my approach to dogs who are grieving the loss of a sibling or companion. I understand the emotional needs of lonely dogs and provide gentle, attentive care to help them feel safe, comforted, and loved. Whether it’s quiet companionship, extra cuddles, or keeping their routine consistent, I’m here to support their healing with patience and heart. I’m a full time student during the fall and spring, but have an extremely flexible schedule and will be free all summer. During the fall, I’ll be free after 1:00 PM! I have a fenced in backyard, and two friendly and playful dogs. They are loved deeply and are only in a kennel when I’m out of the house.

About: I will provide care and love to your dog just like I do for my very own fur-children. Your dog will enjoy being able to be comfortable and relax on the couch while enjoying time with two other very friendly dogs. We go on lots of walks and stay as active as the weather will allow for. If you want your dog to run for their walk, I would be more than happy to provide that service as well! I’m a full time nursing student wanting to help out fellow pet owners while I have a little free time! I’ve also experienced the hassle of finding boarding for overnights, and I’d love to ease the stress of that. I’m currently earning my degree from home, so I have flexibility and availability for your furbabies and will be able to provide attention and regular potty breaks throughout the day. I have a fenced in large backyard with two playful friendly dogs of my own to keep your furbaby company. I can also easily separate or crate your dog if needed.
