“Where do I start? Ms. Kim is the absolute BEST! She was able to stay over and take care of our furbabies for a few days, including administering medicine to one of them. She took care of our pets as if they were her own. They loved her back just as much as she did them. Not only did she do an outstanding job by making sure then furbabies were taken care of, she even made sure our house was in perfect shape upon our return. We highly recommend Ms. Kim and will definitely be asking her again next time we go out of town. We truly found the best and appreciate Ms. Kim!”

“We had such a wonderful experience with Laura as our pet sitter! She took amazing care of our dog, Honey, who can be a little anxious at times. Laura was so patient and understanding, and she went above and beyond to make sure Honey felt comfortable while we were away. She sent lots of picture updates and check-ins, which gave us such peace of mind knowing Honey was happy and well cared for. We’re so grateful for her and would absolutely recommend her to anyone looking for a trustworthy, loving sitter!”

“Second time using Kaitlyn for dog sitting and again she blew it out of the water! Our pup loves her and we feel so comfortable going out of town with her as our sitter.”

About: I've volunteered at both my local shelter at home and worked at the vet school with various animals, both wild and domestic. I have also worked at zoos in the past and understand the level of care it takes to be there for animals! I am always ready and excited to handle all of your pets' needs! I am a grad student, and this provides me with a pretty flexible schedule! This allows me to be there whenever you need me to! Currently, I own one cat, but in the past, I have owned dogs. I am always ready to provide enrichment and care for all of the pets' needs!
“Mercy did a great job house/dog sitting while we were away for a month!! She kept us updated with pictures from their playtime and walks. I would definitely recommend her. Thank you Mercy!!”

About: I’ve cared for my two family dogs, Adonis & Asha, since I was 13, gaining hands-on experience with daily routines like feeding, walking, bathing, and providing lots of love and attention. While I haven’t done professional pet sitting yet, I understand how important it is to treat pets like family. I’m reliable, caring, and committed to making sure your pet feels safe and happy while you’re away. I’m currently working part-time, while getting my Master’s at Auburn online! So I’m free pretty much all day long to care for and love on your pups while you’re away! When caring for pets in a client’s home, I do my best to follow the pet’s normal routine so they feel safe and comfortable. I make sure they’re fed on time, get plenty of playtime or walks, and have a clean space. I also pay close attention to any special instructions—whether it’s medications, quirks, or favorite toys. I treat every pet like they’re my own, with patience, care, and love.
“This was our first time leaving ours dogs with a sitter. Would highly recommend Allison. Very sweet and dependable. She sent multiple photos keeping us updated throughout the day.”

“I left my 3 dogs with Abby(Mary) for a week. She did a great job of communicating with me, including sending photos. One dog had a bandage on her foot that came loose. Abby took care of the rebandaging and did a great job! I highly recommend Abby and will be calling on her again for my future travel needs.”

About: I’ve always had a passion for animals of all species and breeds! I do not have any dislike towards any animal and I feel they should be treated just like humans with respect and unconditional care and love. Every dog I’ve had I have trained personally and raised in my own I’m currently a stay at home mom so I do have a one year old daughter but to make some extra money I thought this would be perfect since I have an open schedule besides being home with my daughter If you would like your animal boarded in my home they will have a potty schedule every 2-4 hours and they will have open space inside the home and have plenty of toys to play with as well they will go on 1-2 walks a day I am currently a stay at home mom who has always had a passion for animals I love all breeds and sizes and will treat your fur babyw ith the upmost best care I will communicate daily and always send you photos and videos I love to have your pets schedule as close as possible to what you have at home for them so they are as comfortable as possible while in my care I always make sure that they have everything they need and have the best time
About: What sets me apart is my mix of professional experience and love for animals. I worked at a grooming facility for 2 years, where I learned how to safely handle dogs and cats of all sizes and personalities, keep them comfortable, and pay attention to little details that matter for their care. This past summer, I also had the chance to travel to Australia, where I got to experience wildlife and animal care from a whole new perspective. That experience strengthened my passion for working with animals and taught me how important patience and consistency are in giving them the best care. Whether it’s energetic puppies or older dogs that need extra gentleness, I bring both skill and heart to every pet I look after. I am a 4th year part-time Pre-Vet student at Tuskegee University so I am not available on Mondays and Thursday's. But I am available every other day in the afternoon and most mornings! I live in a pet-friendly apartment with two other pre-vet students, so your baby will always be surrounded by animal lovers! There’s plenty of space for walks and play, plus access to a pool if your pup enjoys swimming 🤿. And for cats, I create enrichment activities or give them cozy spots to relax 😎. Whether in my home or yours, I make sure pets stay safe, happy, and on their usual routine with plenty of love and attention.
“Selena was able to watch our fur babies on fairly short notice in our home. Our babies seemed to like her and they were in good spirits upon our return home. We would use Selena again!”

About: I’ve been caring for pets throughout my whole life. I adore animals with all of my heart (trust me - I would pet a wild grizzly bear if I could.) and couldn’t imagine life without my chihuahua, Sugar. Feel free to leave your pets with me throughout your summer vacation. You get a well-deserved break, and your pup will get lots of love and new adventures! I will always, always, ALWAYS treat your dog with kindness and respect. I am very familiar with anxiety and similar issues in animals. I can 100% assure you that I will do my very best to make your dog feel comfortable, happy, and safe. :)
About: It's fun side work for me! I'm an Ol' guy that is reliable and good with animals. I tend to take a lot of pictures and video to send to my clients. My availability, depending on location and time, is usually only in the evening due to work during the week. I try to keep my calendar up to date as possible to reflect immediate availability. My schedule adjusts each Auburn semester, so feel free to reach out for the latest availability to discuss your pet dog or cat care needs and wants. I follow the routine of pet owners. I'll administer medications when necessary. The more information I have about your pet needs and routine. The better I can accommodate your pet.
About: My parents always relied on me to take care of our dog when they would be gone for the day or go out of town. I also took care of my friends’ and families’ dogs when they were out of town. I have experience with puppies because my dog gave birth to 7 puppies when I was 13. I also have experience with giving medications. I always ensure the dogs I take care of have clean water and food before I leave. I also love to provide pictures of ur fur baby when we’re on a walk or playing. I’m working part-time which gives me time to show your dog some love, walk them, and play with them. I’m also going to school to be a vet tech. Since I am a traveling dog sitter, I won’t be caring for the dogs at my home. When I meet the owners of a dog (or dogs) I will discuss the details of the owners request for their particular dogs. I say this because many owners like their fur babies taken care of in different ways. My job is to simulate their care as much as possible.
About: I offer 12 years of experience, dependable care, attention to detail, and genuine love for dogs, ensuring every pet feels safe, comfortable, and cared for. I’m currently enrolled online at Southern Union and applying to nursing February 1st, which allows me a flexible schedule and reliable availability for pet care. My roommates are animal lovers who are comfortable around pets and help create a calm, welcoming environment. I remain fully responsible for all care, routines, and supervision at all times.
“Our girls enjoyed the walks and visit from Marcia. She was excellent and even sent us a few pictures to easy our minds. Marcia is great and our family would love to have her again.”
