Emily did a wonderful job looking after my cat while I was on vacation. She followed all the instructions perfectly and shared lots of photos daily - my furry baby felt very safe and happy in her care. Very grateful for Emily’s help and would highly recommend her to anyone looking for a trusted pet sitter :)

Linda was great! She was so sweet with our dog, he obviously liked her and he’s not very social. She was always timely and sent detailed reports along with plenty of photos. We will definitely enlist her in the future to care for our dog.

Allison is an absolute dream of a cat sitter! From our first communication, she was warm, responsive, and thoughtful. It was clear right away that she genuinely cares about animals, and my cat felt it too! While I was away, Allison sent me thorough updates with photos that put my mind at ease and made me smile. Allison went above and beyond in every way, and it’s such a gift to know my cat is in such capable, compassionate hands. Thank you, Allison!

About: I’ve had animals around the house my entire life, and I’ve been trusted to petsit and housesit for friends and neighbors since I was a teenager. I have two cats of my own, but I regularly care for others’ pets as well. This summer I have most of the week free, and evenings T/W/Th by request! I love all animals, no matter the energy level! Whether they need to play ‘til they drop, or just want to curl up and sit beside you, I’m happy to accommodate.

About: I've loved dogs my entire life and have experience caring for dogs of different sizes, ages, and energy levels. Whether your dog enjoys long walks, playtime, or simply having company throughout the day, I'm committed to making sure they feel comfortable, safe, and well cared for while you're away. I understand that every dog has their own personality and routine, so I take the time to follow your instructions and provide the care that works best for them. I'll treat your dog with the same attention, patience, and kindness that I would give my own pet, and I'll keep you updated so you can have peace of mind while they're in my care! I am currently in grad school at Auburn University, working towards my CPA. I am available on weekdays from 12 pm until 5 pm. My weekends are very flexible and I am free at any time! When caring for pets in a client's home, I prioritize maintaining their normal routine so they feel comfortable and secure while their owner is away. I carefully follow feeding schedules, walking routines, medication instructions, and any other specific care requests. I make sure pets receive plenty of attention, exercise, playtime, and companionship based on their individual needs and personality. I also respect my clients' homes by keeping everything clean, secure, and exactly as I found it. Communication is important to me, so I provide regular updates and photos to give owners peace of mind while they're away.

About: I have extensive experience in both animal welfare and veterinary clinic settings, giving me a strong foundation in pet care, behavior, and health. I’m comfortable with dogs and cats of all sizes, ages, and temperaments, from high-energy puppies to seniors and pets needing extra patience or structure. I also graduated from Auburn in 2017 with a degree in animal sciences Through my work, I’ve gained hands-on experience with safe handling, administering medications (oral, transdermal, subcutaneous and intramuscular injections, etc), recognizing signs of stress or illness, and supporting pets in new or unfamiliar environments. I’m calm, reliable, and very detail-oriented, and I take pride in keeping pets safe, comfortable, and on their normal routine while you’re away. I have a flexible schedule and work from home full time that allows me to prioritize pet care throughout the day. I’m available for drop-ins and walks, and I can accommodate morning, midday, and evening routines with boarding animals. I’m happy to adjust to your pet’s normal schedule to keep things consistent and low-stress. With my background in animal welfare and veterinary clinics, safety is always my top priority. I’m experienced in reading body language, handling pets safely, and recognizing early signs of stress or illness. In your home and mine, I make sure routines are followed closely and your pet stays comfortable in their environment. I’m respectful of your space, detail-oriented, and always prioritize clear communication so you feel confident while you’re away.

Not only has Regan taken excellent care of our dogs during multiple visits (drop-in, as well as house sitting), but when one of our dogs became ill through no fault of his own, he stayed with her past his designated departure time until someone could come pick her up and take her to the emergency vet. I can not recommend him highly enough.

So thankful we found Sam! We have one kitty that needs medication every 12 hours so this is always a concern for us. Sam was very comfortable with our cats, was prompt about the 12 hour timeline and gave us full reports afterwards. She was willing to play with the cats when the weather precluded them to go outside. Overall, all parties were very happy; look forward to having Sam watch the kitties again

I was out of town for the holidays and needed someone to walk and feed my dog and I’m so glad Alexxia was available. He was nervous but she was patient with him and got him a treat to warm up to her.I would definitely recommended her as a sitter! 🤗
