About: I have been training and taking care of dogs and cats since I was little. I love playing and caring for all types of my four legged friends. I am currently attending the University of Alabama, so my schedule is very flexible and open to all types of schedules! My schedule is completely open in summer. Please reach out for any questions! I have a big yard with two friendly outdoor labs. I also live on the lake if your dog likes to swim. Indoors, I have two cats that do not mind dogs or other cats.
About: I’ve been dog sitting for a long time, caring for chihuahuas all the way to Italian mastiffs. I am more than willing to adapt to the individual needs of the pet. I am a college student on summer break, so I am available anytime during the day. I am a very flexible and active person. I can take dogs out for walks, tire them out, or just sit with them. I can take your dog on a walk near your house, a trail, or park. I can keep them company and wear them out in the backyard or inside if needed. I can work wherever is convenient for the owner and the animal!
About: I’ve had animals since I was five and when I was 10, I started doing dog walking and dog sitting for friends and neighbors I also started taking care of my grandmother whenever I was 16 I must spend my week playing video game watching. I’m just hanging out around the house with my animals. Sometimes I will go out on the town to do something. I take them out for walks feed them and make sure they’re comfortable in their house. Also ask questions about the animal if I need to know anything.

About: I grew up with cats and dogs, and currently have a cat of my own. I have been taking care of pets for friends and family (and the occasional job) for roughly 10 years now. I am most comfortable with cats and dogs, but I have experience with chickens, guinea pigs, and fish as well. I am comfortable taking care of just about any animal if given directions. Please don’t hesitate to reach out and ask :) I finished school, but do not start my professional job until the fall! Therefore I am very flexible and I can accommodate whatever schedule you need your pet to be on. I do not host pets because I have a cat of my own, but at a client’s house, I am more than happy to do whatever makes them feel comfortable in terms of safety, trust, etc. I will do any number of check in’s with you (ex. send a picture of your pet once a day, once a visit, text you updates only if needed). Unless explicitly stated by the client (ex. “you can help yourself to anything in the fridge”), I treat their home as I would a workplace- come in to do my job, dont interfere with anything that does not directly have to do with that. If there is anything else you have questions about in this area, please ask!

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.

I will develop a loving bond with your pet. I love to play with and care for them. I keep a journal, for you, which tells all about my time with your fur baby. Whatever your pet is accustomed to, I will provide. I will keep your pet safe and happy.
About: I've been taking care of dogs and cats since I was a kid. I used to take care of neighbor's pets when they would go out of town and have had my own animals for as long as I can remember. I make my own schedule, therefore, I can easily fit pet care into my day to day life. Whether it be in the morning before my appointments start, in between appointments, or at the end of the day, I can make it work. I give my personal pets lots of attention, taking them on many walks and giving them lots of love! I love going on walks and spending quality time with animals.
About: I’ve owned pets for my whole life, but I also have 4 fish and 2 gerbils and babysat ferrets! I will always be free to check on your furbaby no matter the time, even at midnight, or stay the night with them. I am completely free all day every day since I am home for summer break from college starting May through early August. Unless I get another job this will not change. I don’t offer pet care in my home but I do offer services at your home, I can send you updates of whenever I arrive at your home, send you pictures while I’m there, update you when they potty, eat, what they do throughout the day, etc. And of course update you whenever I leave and tell you when I plan on returning.
