About: I love animals, growing up I wanted to be veterinarian and would get emotional at the sight of stray animals. I have years of experience sitting the pets of friends, family and neighbors! I will take care of your furry friend like they are one of my own. Right now I have a two kitties and a fish! I am currently in school, but after school- at around 5:30 pm I am available for pet care. I am also free on the weekends! In your home I will feed, play, and give attention to your pet. Let me know what you are most comfortable with boundary wise and I will happily accommodate.

“Madeline is a fantastic pupsitter! Great communication and loved all the pics of my babies while I was away. My dogs actually seemed kinda disappointed to see me when I got home so I know they absolutely loved their time with her!”


“Lizzy did a fantastic job with Sokka. She was very receptive to the care instructions and did frequent check-ins to keep me updated throughout her stay. Lizzy even took the time to straighten things back up around the house before leaving, which was very much appreciated! She is both kind and professional, I highly recommend her to anyone and will definitely book again!”


“Can’t be better! Outstanding Service ! I feel confident after leaving my doggy with her! Thanks”


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!

About: Hello, my name is Michael and I'm ready to care for your pets! I have many years of pet care experience but my main selling point is that I work from home and can offer round-the-clock care, attention, and love. I look forward to getting to know your furriest family members! Also, I'm very large so large dogs are more than welcome. I work from home so I am available pretty much anytime that my clients will need. I am also working on a personal project so I do not get out and party very much so I am happy to keep your pets company for as long as they like. As a long time pet sitter, I know how to handle all aspects of care including medicine, diets, exercise, and enrichment. I will be happy to care for them in your homes and will bring my own food and water so don't worry about me raiding your pantry.

About: I'm here to lend a helping hand in caring for your furbabies. Mine are my world! I don't know that I've ever been without pets. I'm that person that stops traffic to help a turtle cross the road. I've saved many strays. We've fostered multiple sets of pups from the local shelters & I have experience with bottle feed babies, both pups & kittens. I have & have had many pets throughout my life & that's where my experience comes from. Dogs of all sizes, young & old. I can give medications if needed. I would love to help you out when you need someone to step in & care for them for a bit. I will treat them as I would my own. I work a full time job M - F, 8:00 - 4:00, but my job is Hybrid, so I work from home 3 days a week. So aside from meetings, I can fit in drop-in visits most anytime. I can also, stop by prior to & after work as well. My schedule is pretty flexible. I have multiple pups & even more cats. I have a fenced in backyard that our babies thoroughly enjoy being able to roam & explore daily. During my visits, I will care for your baby however you've instructed because I know it's beneficial for them to stay on their own schedule. A couple of mine have high anxiety so I fully understand the benefits of staying home & keeping schedules as much as possible. If they don't have a fence & need walks, I will welcome the additional steps.

4. Jailene V.
“To Whom It May Concern, I am pleased to write this letter of recommendation for Jailene, who has cared for my cat, Star, while I was away on work trips. Jailene is an exceptional pet sitter—trustworthy, attentive, and genuinely caring. During my time away, Jailene ensured Star was not only fed and comforted but also consistently received her medication, which is a critical part of her daily routine. Administering medication to a cat isn’t always easy, but Jailene handled it with patience and care, keeping me updated throughout my trip. When I returned home, I could immediately tell that Star had been well taken care of. She was relaxed, healthy, and clearly had been given plenty of attention and love. Jailene even took extra steps to tidy up and leave things exactly as she found them, which I greatly appreciated. Jailene is someone I trust completely with my pet and my home, and I wholeheartedly recommend her for any pet sitting position. She will be a reliable and compassionate caregiver for any animal in her care. Sincerely, Jessica Wong Jessica.wong33351@gmail.com (954)-478-3247”
