“Alexandra gave excellent care to my boy, sent texts, and pics - it is nice to not have to worry when you are away from your fur-baby. I highly recommend Alexandra-I will be using her again!”


“Isabella did a wonderful job dropping in and checking on my 3 dogs and cat. She came by to meet them and me before the booking, which was great. Also, my kitty needs medication, and I felt confident knowing that Isabella would be able to administer it. I received updates and pictures, so I knew my babies were in good hands.”


“I have used Amelia’s services multiple times now. My cats are getting quite used to her. Normally they hide but they come out for her every time which makes me very happy. Everything is neat and tidy and taken care of while I’m gone and I know that my cats are in good hands. Thank you so much. I will definitely book you again!”


About: My household has always had a furry friend in it since the day I was born from small ankle biters like Chihuahuas to hefty cuties like my current Bully Pit that I can safely wrestle in some horseplay. Puppies, seniors, we don't discriminate 'round here! I don't mind getting my hands dirty and have small experience in clicker training younger pups along with an energy to match whichever personality I'm given. A boundless Collie? We can play all day! A sleepy old Bassett? We can chill with some TV. I'm not above being put to work either. Give me a litter box to clean. Give me medicine and I'll make sure it's getting swallowed. Toss a cat my way as well why doncha? I worked as a cat caretaker during my fall and spring semesters in Auburn University, as well as own a lovely kitten named Autumn, so having a feline to shake things up would be a nice treat! Trust me, my hands have a good pain tolerance. Beyond that, I know it costs major bucks to look after your pets. Or pay someone ELSE too. Sometimes a week stay for a pet can run up to $500! That's why you come to me. I offer affordable rates because I'm more concerned with the passion than the money. I have multiple pets of my own and I know the chip they can put in my wallet just from vet visits! So I won't let it get in your way! 🤠 I've graduated happily from Auburn University with a degree in Animal Sciences and am settling into a new job. This means that while I'm happy to take on new clients, my schedule is sporadic as it's determined on a weekly basis. It also means I will be gone for many hours at a time. My current work schedule and thus how long I'd be busy for July 28-Aug 3 is: Mon: 5-9:30 pm Tue: 4-9:30 Wed: 5-9:30 Thurs: Free Fri: Free Sat: 1-9:30 pm Sun: 10 am-7 pm Safety is a non-negotiable when it comes to our furry friends. Just like I do with my own pals, I stay by them at all times when outside and encourage their attention with toys or loving scritches when they're not doing their business. If push comes to shove, I am capable of safely wrestling an overzealous dog into calming down or tightening the 'ol leash if need be. With cats, responsibly scruffing rarely fails. Inside, unless stated otherwise where they're allowed to park themselves, I stay with my little friends on the floor and can crate them if specified to do so when it's bedtime. If they're free roamers, I let them tag along where I go! Except the kitchen. I also welcome animals who require daily or periodic medication. Bear in mind I charge $10 per day of administering medication, and it would cover all required meds for that day. Rest assured your friend will be taken care of!

“This is the second time Ann has checked in on Sweets, and she continues to be dependable and communicative! Will definitely book with her in the future!”


About: I have been taking care of animals for more than 20 years! From 150 racing pidgeons to racetrack horses, special needs dogs and even monkeys I have experienced just about everything! I am very flexible and can do mornings, lunch and night. I am self employed as a groomer so can work around pretty much any schedule. I am insured and take caring for pets in peoples home very seriously, I will have you fill out and sign a pet sitting contract that covers us both and always keep keys in a hidden purse using a color code with no addresses attached.

“Thank you so much for taking great care of my guys! It usually takes Max some time to warm up to men, he seemed to connect with Dalton almost instantly. Thank you again for taking care of them last minute while I was away at drill.”


About: I have taken care of pets my entire life and just love them, doggies especially! I have been trusted with keeping many of my friends pets over the years and taking care of homes. I am in and out of the house during the day working a couple of different jobs all of which allow me to swing by during the day or keep me here during the day. I am always home at night. I have a fully fenced unescapable yard. I have a doggy door so the pets can go in and out as they please. I have a small shitzu who is old and nearly blind and deaf. She loves other animals and keeps to herself mostly.

About: My Monday-Friday work-from-home routine perfectly aligns with pet care. I provide consistent attention, timely feedings, walks, playtime, and personalized care, ensuring happy, stress-free pets all day. My work-from-home schedule allows flexibility for feeding, walks, and play. Being active myself ensures pets get plenty of exercise, attention, and love throughout the day. I care for pets in my home as if they were my own, providing love, safety, and a cozy environment. In clients’ homes, I maintain routines, ensure comfort, and deliver personalized care tailored to each pet’s needs, just like their family.

“Montrez was great! He picked up poop and also vacuumed and followed all care instructions.”


“Lizzy was great with peanut and provided helpful updates to let me know that he is okay. She was very helpful in assuaging my fears about my dog staying home.”


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!

“She was awesome, I’m so happy to have found her. She took very good care of all my animals. Gracie my dog has a new best friend.”

I am available. Monday-Wednesday from 1:00PM-6:00PM. Saturday from 5:00PM-7:00PM. I am not available Thursday, Friday, or Saturday unless I know in advance.

“We are very thankful to Michael for taking care of our not 1, not 2, but 5 pups!!! 3 of the 5 are complete wildlings but he patiently handled them with grace. He is very easy to work with in scheduling. Michael even showed up for a meet & greet and spent quite a while learning the most he could about our babies so he would be prepared to take care of them when needed. We look forward to building the relationship & being able to count on him to help us when we have plans that cause us to be away from them. Thank you Michael!!!”


About: I have been a pet lover since birth. Very comfortable with almost all animals and treat them like a family member always. I have had a total of 5 dogs my entire life and have never been without one. I’ve had birds, fish, bunnies and cats as well. Love pets from tiny to giant. No breed frightens me. I like to rub, pet, brush, tug and throw toys. Slobber does not bother me and love dog kisses. I am very aware of the responsibility involved with care giving. It is like taking care of a baby. They need your undivided attention and time. I am organized. I pay attention to detail. However always flexible as well. This is something that brings me great joy in life I am semi retired and have an open schedule. My days and nights are pretty flexible. I have help with my own pet, so it allows me to be able to do overnight visits as well. My pets have always been my family members. They sleep in the bed with me, sit on the couch with me and watch TV. I like to take them for a long walks and also fun car rides.

“Very at ease and very pleased with Hannah. She treated my home and my cats as if they were her owned. She was always concerned that everything was done as requested. I consider her to be one of the best and she will always have my business. I have nothing but praise for her. That's what my friends will know about her as well!”


About: I love going on walks at least once a day so I'll love taking your dog(s) on walks along with playing with them. I also won't mind just taking them out for potty breaks, feeding them, socializing them, or anything that needs done. I grew up with dogs and unfortunately my apartment doesn't allow me to have them else I'd have my own. I'm up for traveling however far I need to in order to take care of your dog(s). I'm flexible with hours. I've always gotten along with all animals but I've definitely always been partial to puppies and dogs of all types. Any questions just let me know! I'm currently a nurse at Spring Hill Memorial, and only have 3-12 hour shifts a week. So I have free time to help with any pets needs. I have three friendly cats and a guest bedroom if need be. There's a dog park in my complex as well that I love going to.

About: Having grown up with dogs in the house, you could say I have a lifetime of experience with them. From adopting a puppy to handling senior healthcare; to living with husky fur machines; to growing up with dogs ranging in size from small scotties to large greyhounds; I am a seasoned dog owner and lover. Although I do not have my own at the moment, I love platforms like these that allow pet lovers like myself the ability to spend time and care for others’ companions while allowing owners a sense of relief that their pet is in good hands while being away. I currently work an 8-5 job. This allows me to have an hour for lunch that I can take to do a midday check or quick walk if needed. I am an active individual, so hyper dogs are not an issue. I live in a nice neighborhood where walking routes are convenient and enjoyable. I live in a 1br condo in midtown. For larger dogs, it may not be the most comfortable for longer term stays. If you typically crate your pet, please provide your own crate. For visiting pets in a client’s home, I am flexible and have no problem mimicking their pets’ typical routine. Please be aware that my job is an 8-5. Depending on how close their house is to my job, I can visit up to 3x a day (morning/afternoon/evening).

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.

Camari B.
“I cannot recommend Camari enough when it comes to taking care of your pets. From the very first visit, it was clear that this isn’t just a job to her. It’s a true passion. Camari takes the time to understand each pet’s unique personality, needs, and routines, and she goes above and beyond to make sure they feel safe, loved, and cared for. What sets her apart is her unwavering dedication and her ability to make every visit feel personal—not just for the pet, but for the owner as well. She communicates clearly, sends thoughtful updates, and always makes me feel confident that my pet is in the best hands. With her, you’re not just getting a pet sitter—you’re getting someone who truly cares, and that peace of mind is priceless.”
