“We were so relieved our whole trip leaving our two large babies with Talhia. They’re high energy and she made sure they walked and even went for runs outside. I had so many picture updates throughout the day so I was always happy knowing they looked comfortable. She even bought us a small bag of food cause I under-calc how much food to send. Definitely enjoyed having her watch our babies, will def be using her again!”


About: I have been an avid pet lover, owner, and caregiver my entire life! Throughout my teenage years I worked, and rode, for many top equestrian facilities in Georgia providing weekend barn care such as stall cleaning, feeding, and turnout. I have provided farm/pet sitting for numerous clients, friends, and families over the years, being solely responsible for up to 30 horses, as well as their pets, at one time. Most recently, I have 5 years of experience working in the veterinary industry. I currently have 2 dogs! A 4 year old Golden Retriever and a 7 year old Shepsky who both are my best friends! I currently do work full-time in Birmingham, however I am off every Friday and available on weekends as well! Mondays-Fridays I can provide afternoon and evening pet care services as well. At home, we have a fully fenced in yard and both of our dogs are friendly and love to play! I can also crate your pets if need be, and am comfortable administering oral/topical medications.

“She was great. House was clean, doggie updates were adorable and pups came home happy and bathed. Be really specific on pick up and drop off times well in advance and this is a perfect sitter”


“Chelsea was the best sitter! She was well prepared for Queen’s stay with her and even had extra bedding, toys, and supplies that would be needed for her stay if I had forgotten to pack something. Chelsea my mind at ease by sending me pictures and giving me updates about Queen throughout her stay. When we got home yesterday, Queen slept all night until I woke her up this morning. We will definitely use Chelsea’s services again!”


“Anna watched BJ for us during the tornado scare while we were in LA. I was so worried not being able to be with my dog in such scary weather. Anna kept us updated and truly treated BJ as one of her own. That really let me know that we will probably never use another sitter unless she is unavailable because she really does love the animals she watches. We can’t thank you enough Anna, you rock!!”


“We had a Wonderful experience with Morgan. Kateri ( dog) quickly assimilated into their home and other dog mates . We will definetly come back and refer to friends. Thank you Morgan and Mason for taking such great care of my girl! God bless you!!!! Sabrina & Kateri”


About: I have 5+ years of experience in pet sitting and am a huge animal lover! I have two cats of my own, and have fostered about a dozen kittens and cats from shelters. I love interacting with dogs and cats of any size and personality, and enjoy dog walking as well. I have volunteered at the Humane Society cat house, as well as walk dogs through the Metro Animal Shelter happy hour. I would love to spend time with your pets and am committed to providing them a safe environment, as well as sending updates and pictures while you are away so you know they are in goods hands. I am currently a UAB medical student living in Tuscaloosa. I currently have a flexible schedule in my fourth year, and most of my weekends are completely open as well as some weekdays. I will ensure that my calendar stays updated routinely with availability. I am fully willing to tailor my pet-sitting for you and your pets needs! I am very flexible as far as needs for feeding, walking, etc and check ins at your home. Love going to the Tuscaloosa riverwalk for dog walking! Your pet can also stay in my home if needed! I live in a house with two adult cats so I prefer that your pet be cat-friendly, but I also have an extra bedroom where your furbaby can stay if separation is needed. My house has a walking trail and lake behind it which is perfect for dogs. My cats have been introduced to many foster pets over the years!

“Our dog Toby stayed with Jennifer and her dogs for over two weeks and he had a great time! Jennifer sent us short videos so we could see how he was doing and she gave him his flea pill on time. In the past we’ve had Toby come home from a sitter seemingly traumatized, but he came back from Jennifer’s happy and in great shape. The only downside was I don’t think he wanted to leave, LOL!”


“She is definitely the best!! She gave updates throughout the day/night and almond with Pictures of our fur baby!!! If you’re looking for a safe and loving home booked with Ainsley!!!!”


About: I’ve loved animals for as long as I can remember. I grew up with a sweet collie and a tiny chihuahua, and now I’m lucky to share my life with two rescued pups, Blue and Syla. They’re goofy, full of personality, and always making me smile. I enjoy caring for pets of all sizes and personalities. I can help with walks, playtime, feeding, and keeping a regular potty schedule. I also have experience with minor training and grooming. I believe exercise, attention, and love are the keys to a happy, healthy pet. Along with dogs and cats, I have experience caring for farm animals like chickens, guinea fowl, and ducks. I make sure they have fresh food and water and a safe, clean place to live. I’ve been the go-to pet sitter for friends, family, and neighbors for years, and now I’m excited to offer the same care to pets in the Tuscaloosa area. Whether your pet has fur or feathers, I’ll treat them like my own. I can’t wait to meet your pets and give them the love and attention they deserve. I work full time from home, so I’m here all day to give your pets attention, love, and care. I can take breaks for walks, playtime, and potty breaks throughout the day, making sure your pet sticks to their normal routine. I’m available for boarding on weekends and for walks or drop-ins during weekday mornings, lunch breaks, and evenings. I have a fenced yard and two friendly dogs to keep your pet company. I can crate your dog if needed and always make sure they have fresh water, a safe space, and lots of affection. Whether in my home or yours, I’ll provide a clean, secure, and loving environment so your pet feels happy and comfortable.

“Lauren was the best! I had to make an emergency last minute booking and she was extremely flexible. Not only did she take great care of my dog, but she gave me status updates. I really appreciated her service and will most certainly be going straight to her if when I need to board my dog again. Thank you Lauren and your little dog Theo!”


“We had a great experience with Cassidy. We did a meet and greet before the weekend stay to see how Gabby did with her Millie and Poppy, which went well. Cassidy was accommodating to our schedule and we loved getting updates and pics on how Gabby was doing. We recommend Cassidy 💯 and will absolutely use her again.”


“Monique was very responsive to all of my messages. My pup had anxiety and she did an amazing job of comforting her. She is kind and was very patient while we waited for our pup to feel comfortable. Highly recommend 🐾”
