“This was our first time for Summer to take care of Tweed. Predict that we have a long future together. She was fabulous. Her experience is unparalleled and a great communicator too. We are thrilled.”


“Miss Jennifer was wonderful! I was glad she suggested a meet and greet before the stay. She was easy to communicate with and kept in touch during Gabby’s stay with pics and videos. Was understanding about medication. I felt like she spoiled my baby even more than me! I would highly recommend and will use her again for sure!”


“Larissa took care of our dog Jace for three days. On the first day, she texted me to let me know that Jace was acting nervous around the other dogs. She told me that she is giving him all the extra love and attention that she can! She did this while caring for the other dogs and her newborn baby. Larissa even gave Jace a bath after he threw up on himself. Larissa sent me pictures of Jace cuddling with her and her mom during the trip and put me at ease about his anxiety. Jace finally felt comfortable and began to relax and started playing with the other dogs. I highly recommend Larissa and will book her again. THANK YOU LARISSA!!”


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!

About: I've been training small puppies with basic dog commands and crate training since 2014. I started my petting-sitting services in Berkeley, California. I love to walk, feed, bathe, and love puppies. I recently bought a house in Reform, Alabama, and I welcome my fur friends to join my Havanese AKC Woody Ivy and me. I'm currently in my Ph.D. program at The University of Alabama. I mostly attend classes twice a week while I am on campus. On the days I am not attending class, I am at home spending quality time with my puppy, gardening, and doing fun things around my house. I believe in constantly transitioning and supervising my puppy, offering different activities day and night. We have a routine that starts at 6 am. He goes potty and has the liberty to sniff trees or go back to sleep. He eats breakfast at 7 am, goes for a walk at 8 am and 6 pm CT (4 pm CST), plays until nap at 11a, lunch/snack at 1p, plays with toys until he is ready to play fetch, and is obedient training outside, and then we people watch on our porch (which he loves to do) while I read. We do everything together! And when the night is young, he goes to bed inside his crate, next to my bed, at 9 (ish) to rest up for another day of play.

“Lauren took great care of our three fur babies. They were happy and healthy when we arrived back from our trip. Her little pup is a sweetheart and together they made our dogs a welcome part of their pack. She has a fabulous fenced yard. Highly recommended.”


“Ashlynd was amazing and Joy was very content with her. She went above and beyond to accommodate our travel change in schedule!! So grateful!! We will choose her when ever we need a sitter!!”


“Kattie was great with my 2 dogs. She was quick to respond, very accommodating for last minute booking and overall pleasant to work with. She took great care of my dogs and they left Kattie's house happy. Would recommend for your pet needs.”


“Julie did an amazing job taking care of my kitty! I needed someone on really short notice to take him for over a week and I was really nervous giving him to someone I didn’t know. My expectations were beyond exceeded. I got multiple pictures a day and didn’t have a single worry while I was away. I will definitely be booking again in the future!!”


“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 🐾”


“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.”


About: I’ve taken care of plenty of dogs and cats over the years. I have grown up with four dogs and two cats— and I love spending time with them! I’m currently working but have plenty of time for drop in and walks on Tuesday and Thursdays as well as over the weekends! Availability changes daily so feel free to ask for anything! I don’t have any dogs living with me but would probably prefer you to bring your dogs crate during the night. I have a nice area to walk your dog when they need to go out!

“I was traveling out of town and my schedule was hectic but Lauren was amazing to work with me and love on Marlee. She’s a great communicator, super sweet personality and I highly recommend her. I’ll be using her again when I’m in the area.”


About: Hi there! I’m Lauren, and I’m so excited to welcome your furry family member into my home! As a lifelong dog lover with lots of experience caring for dogs of all breeds and sizes, I understand how important it is to find a trustworthy and caring place for your dog when you’re away. I have a friendly, playful Staffy dog of my own who LOVES to make new friends. He great with all types of dogs, and I’ll ensure your pup has a fun time playing, socializing, and getting plenty of exercise. Whether it’s daily walks, playtime in the yard, or cozy naps inside, your dog will feel right at home. I also have experience administering medication, so if your dog needs specific care or treatment, I can handle that with ease and make sure they get the attention they need. Your dog's routine, diet, and special needs will always be a top priority. My goal is to make their stay as enjoyable and stress-free as possible, while giving them lots of love and care. I also have base access so if you are just needing a drop-in visit I would be more than happy to do so! I am available all day every Sunday through Wednesday, offering plenty of time for walks, playtime, and snuggles. I’ll make sure your dog gets all the attention and care they need during their stay. Unfortunately I work 12 hour shifts Thursday-Saturday so I will not be available on those days. I have a dog to keep your dog entertained throughout their say! I can easily create your dog if necessary, and I have separate spaces/rooms if you prefer your pup to be separated! There are plenty of beds and toys and treats all that is needed for you do bring your own food.

About: I have recent experience taking care of new Havanese puppies and I had a Shih Tzu for 12 years while growing up and I love taking walks by the nearby trails and having a furry friend would be an amazing addition. I am a registered dietitian at the University of Alabama. I work until around 5 Monday-Friday and then after work I get a workout in if I haven’t already in the morning. After work would be the best time to walk or take care of dogs. On the weekends I am open to talk care of your furry friends. I live in an apartment on my own in a small neighborhood in Northport where there are lots of sidewalks and a dog park where they can play.

“We were so impressed with the care, attention and engagement Victoria shared with our pup! We were confident from our first meeting it would be a great fit, and she proved us correct! We never had a worry or concern - everything she did was above and beyond and we thank her greatly!”
