Pet Boarding Pelham

About: I’ve always been an animal lover, and caring for pets is something that comes very naturally to me. I know how important it is to have someone you truly trust caring for your pets when you can’t be there, and I want you to feel completely comfortable knowing they’re being treated with the same love and attention I’d give my own. We currently have three cats—one outdoor cat and two indoor cats—as well as two bunnies who have their own separate space. Our cats are extremely well socialized and are accustomed to being around other cats, dogs, and our bunnies. We do not currently have a dog of our own. I’m comfortable with all the everyday things that make a big difference: feeding routines, fresh water, walks, playtime, litter boxes, keeping spaces clean, and, of course, plenty of attention and affection. I also understand that every animal has its own personality. Some want to be right beside you, while others need a little more patience and space before they feel comfortable. My goal is to make your pet feel safe, loved, and at home while they’re in my care. I’m happy to follow their normal routine as closely as possible and keep you updated along the way, so you can relax knowing your pet is being genuinely cared for. I am a stay-at-home/Homeschooling Mom to an 8 year old son. We offer boarding Monday-Friday and some holidays. We welcome all fur babies and truly enjoy the time we get to spend with each one of them. An area of my back yard is fenced while the other half is open. We have plenty of shaded space available for those hot days while enjoying the beautiful weather!

About: About Me 🐾 Hi! My name is Brianna, and I’ve been a dog lover for as long as I can remember. I’ve had dogs throughout my entire life, so caring for dogs has always been something that comes naturally to me. I currently have a small dog named Marshall, a Cavalier King Charles Spaniel, who is a very important part of our family. Having Marshall has given me even more experience with the love, patience, attention, and consistency that dogs need to feel comfortable and happy. I know that leaving your pet with someone else can be stressful, which is why I treat every dog in my care like they are part of my own family. My goal is to provide a safe, comfortable, loving environment where your dog can relax and enjoy their stay. I’m happy to follow your pet’s normal routine, including feeding schedules, walks, playtime, medications, and any special instructions you provide. I also understand that every dog has their own personality and needs, and I’ll take the time to get to know what makes your pup comfortable. Whether your dog loves to play, enjoys cuddling on the couch, or prefers a little quiet time, I’m happy to meet them where they are. 🐶❤️ I would love the opportunity to get to know you and your pup and become someone you can feel comfortable trusting with their care! I work during the day, but I’m available for boarding and can provide plenty of attention before and after work. I’m available most weekends and will make sure your pup gets plenty of playtime, potty breaks, cuddles, and care throughout their stay. Your pet’s safety and comfort are my top priorities. I have a safe, welcoming home and a fenced yard for supervised outdoor time. I have a friendly Cavalier King Charles Spaniel named Marshall who enjoys having other dogs around. I’m happy to follow your pet’s normal routine, including feeding, walks, playtime, crate time, and any special instructions.

“Holly did an excellent job caring for my dog, from beginning to end! She made sure my pup was comfortable in her home and with her dog, and based on the interactions I saw in person and via video/photos, I have no doubt she treated my dog just like her own! She was super conscientious about removing toys my dog would likely chew/eat, and followed my "rules" about treats and food! It's evident she loves dogs and has experience caring for them, and that made it easy for me to leave my pup in her care!”

“Jody was fantastic! Lots of pictures and my pup was spoiled with love the whole time. Really appreciate her taking such good care of our buddy.”

Lauren D.

“Riley took great care of our dog and kept us updated throughout the stay. She was reliable, communicative, and made us feel completely at ease. She is officially our go-to sitter, and we highly recommend her!”

James T.

“Amazing! The dogs loved being with Laderius and his family. I hesitated because they are on the opposite end of town from me (North Birmingham) but ultimately went with Laderius and I’m so glad I did! They are worth it! Great communication, BIG LOVE for our pets, and making sure they enjoyed their “vacation.” Just overall good people. We will be back.”

About: I honestly enjoy dogs and cats more than most people, sorry not sorry 😆. There’s just something about the trusting love of an animal that brings joy to life/my world. I’ve been a dog owner for over 15 years, first to my sweet Charlie - no longer with us; and now to our foster fail Maya. Charlie was a border collie who never ran out of energy. Like, ever 😆. Maya is a more settled gal, but she still loves a good walk/hike as long as a nap comes afterwards. I’ve also been a cat mom, and cat foster mom for over 20 years. Our Sophie & Evie keep us on our toes requesting frequent snuggles, play time, treats, and nap time in our laps 💜🐾 If it’s not already evident, I firmly believe: pets are family, and pets have rights to autonomy/boundaries with people and other animals. I fully expect pet owners to have the same standards of care for selecting someone to help with their pet as I believe they’d use to choose a babysitter for their human kiddos. I happily respect and help maintain people’s rules for their pets (but all y’all that say they can’t get on the couch need an intervention 🙃😉 I’m just saying). Let’s chat about how to help your pets live their best lives when you can’t be with them - whether that’s walks, stop in visits, boarding in my home or other care needs. I work from home and have a fair amount of flexibility in my schedule. I’m able to do drop in visits to feed, administer meds, let dogs out, attend to cat boxes etc. and during my visits I will also provide a bit of attention and interaction for your pets if they desire it - I’m not just a run in and run back out sitter ☺️ I provide in home boarding and doggy day care at my home, where they have access to our fully fenced backyard for potty visits and playtime (weather safety dependent). I will probably only offer cat care visits to your home, as I have our 2 girls here full time as well as often having a foster kitten/cat or 2. I will be happy to cater a care plan that best suits your requirements and your cat’s needs.

About: I’ve been an animal lover my entire life and have always had pets in my home. I currently have three dogs of my own, ranging from 9 to 65 lbs, and I’m also an experienced foster for both dogs and cats. Over the past three years, I’ve had the privilege of fostering and helping 24 animals find their forever homes. My fostering experience has given me hands-on experience with dogs and cats of all personalities, including those with anxiety, nervousness, and behavioral challenges. I’m patient, attentive, and committed to making every pet feel safe, comfortable, and loved while they’re in my care. All dogs in my care receive multiple leashed walks throughout the day, along with plenty of attention, playtime, and companionship. I treat every pet like they’re part of my own family! While I work full-time, my schedule allows flexibility during the day for walks and drop-ins, and I’m able to come home during lunch to let pets out. My own pets are let outside 2–3 times before I leave for work and spend the entire evening out and about with me. Dogs in my care will receive multiple leashed walks throughout the day, plenty of attention, and lots of companionship. I’ll treat your pets like they’re part of my own family! Safety and comfort are my top priorities when caring for pets. In my home, my pets have their own dedicated room, and each has their own crate for a safe, comfortable space to retreat to when needed. All pets are fed separately to help prevent food-related issues and ensure everyone stays safe and comfortable. The pet room is quiet and away from the regular activity and household noises, giving pets a calm place to relax. Dogs that get along well are welcome to spend time together throughout the home, while pets who prefer one-on-one attention can have individualized time with me. I’m also able to rotate pets as needed so everyone gets plenty of time out, exercise, attention, and companionship. Pets are welcome to roam throughout the home and relax on the furniture when that is allowed in their own home. I do my best to maintain their normal routines and boundaries while providing a safe, loving, and stress-free environment.

“Kellie took the best care of our dog, Murray! We never had to worry about how he was doing because we always had updates, and I knew he was being treated like family. The only worry I had was if he was going to want to come back home!! We highly recommend Kellie to take care of your fur babies!”

About: For as long as I can remember, there have always been pets in my life! Whether that was in my own home growing up, in a family member's home, at friends' houses, etc. I have often been the go-to person when it comes to caring for them when their owners are out of town. From walking, feeding, playing, administering medication, and more, I have absolutely loved getting to care for pets of all sizes and ages. As for my own pet experience, after moving to Birmingham in 2018 I applied to become a foster through Two by Two Rescue and began fostering (and quickly failed) with my sweet 13-year-old Pekingese, Max. He was truly the light of my life and we were the best of friends! He taught me a ton about how to care for senior dogs. Before his passing in 2021, I rescued my cat, Mews, and although she's a little hesitant around other pets she stays in her own space! At my own home, I do have stairs but have no issue helping any senior pups or dogs afraid of going upstairs feel comfortable. I used to have to carry Max all the time, haha. I'm also comfortable with pee pads as they used to be a staple in my apartment. I'm not particular about whether or not your pet is create trained and have no issue if they're not! As long as they'd be okay around my cat, I'm more than happy to let them roam around as they please. There are plenty of sidewalks around my apartment for walkies and we're close to a community park as well! Discussing my work schedule is something I do before my meet and greets just so we both have an understanding of expectations. However, my full-time job is a hybrid environment so I'm able to work remotely usually 2 days out of the week (Tuesdays and Thursdays) to care for your pet. On days I am in the office, I'm happy to run by your home during my lunch break if you're close to my office in Hoover. At my home, there is plenty of walking space to take your pup out and get some exercise. We can visit a local park near my house if that's something they'd enjoy. I'm also happy to crate your fur baby if needed.

“This was our second time having her watch our dogs & they had a great time. It was awesome knowing they were in good hands during our trip!”

Elizabeth M.

“I have used Angelika several times in the past for care during the day, and I have had nothing but good experiences. I needed to board my pup for several days for the first time, so naturally, Angelika was my first choice. When I dropped off my pup, she became super excited as soon she saw Angelika. I knew right away, she was in good hands.”

Jason M.

“Breanna was amazing - she sat my dogs last minute and was great about sending pictures with them, flexible with pick up and drop off, and helped me enjoy the weekend worry free knowing she had my pups. Will def be sitting with her again!”

About: I’ve taken care of pets since I was young. I’m new to Rover but have helped many neighbors, friends, and family with their animals over the years. I’d love to help you keep your pets and family at ease by looking after your pet while you’re away. I work during the day Mondays-Fridays but can easily take your dog out for walks in the morning and in the afternoon once I’m back home. Weekends are usually much more flexible with plenty of time for walks and playtime. I’m comfortable with pets in my home. I don’t currently have any pets of my own, but have a fenced backyard that’s great for your pet to get some fresh air when needed.

About: I love animals and I am looking forward to meeting lots of new animal friends this year. I’ve had a dog most of my life. I currently have a calm senior chihuahua. My heart is with senior dogs, but I love all types of dogs and to play with them. I watch my uncle’s dog ,a young poodle, often when he’s out of town and host numerous friends pups when they’re on short vacations or stop in to feed and check up on them. I love running and being outdoors and spend a good amount of my day being active outside. I’m looking forward to learning to care for different types of pets. I have my own chihuahua so I care for her every day. She’s also a senior dog with medication now so I’m really having to be intentional with her schedule. My dog is pretty free range. I let her out in the yard and walk her with a leash if we leave home. I can pretty much adjust with any things needed for your dog.

About: Growing up on a farm surrounded by dogs and various animals, I developed a deep love for pet care. Now, with three beloved cats of my own, I bring years of hands-on experience and genuine passion to every pet I care for. Your pet will be treated like family! I work until 4pm Monday through Friday. I can be available any time after that during the week, and am available any time on the weekends. In both my home and clients' homes, I prioritize safety and comfort. I maintain a pet-friendly, clean environment, always following any specific care instructions to ensure your pet's routine is uninterrupted. Building trust through clear communication and attentive care is my top priority, so you can have peace of mind knowing your pet is in loving, capable hands.

“My dogs loved Argentina! She was very good to them and communication was 10/10. Definitely recommend!”

About: I have cared for a variety of animals and am comfortable caring for any pet (including exotic or uncommon), any age, any size, any level of care, and any personality! I have past experience caring for senior animals (including dogs, cats, and horses) as well as animals under age 1 (including dogs and cats). I often volunteer at the Birmingham Humane Society! Although I am not offering training services, I have experience training and am willing to uphold any training regimen. I have experience shadowing a household pet veterinarian as well as an equine veterinarian. I also have farm animal care experience. I love playtime and am very attentive! I am very excited to care for your pet! I am available to sit weekends and after 7 pm on weekdays. I can do daytime feedings or walks 2 or 3 times a day. I am available for boarding weekends and weekdays after 7 pm. My apartment is the perfect environment for boarding! I am available for boarding some weekdays all day, but I will need notice 5 days and to coordinate in advance for boarding on a weekday before 7 pm due to shifting schedule days. For walks, let me know an estimated average walk time for your pet so that they are comfortable and happy! For sitting, I will clean any pet messes if needed. Require a decently clean home and closer distance if overnight sitting is needed. Please, let me know of any concerns ahead of time. For boarding, I am in a one bedroom apartment with no other pets and decent play space. I have no toys, litter boxes, or cat trees so will need to provide their own. I live next to a large unfenced park. The apartment is clean and tidy and safe for pets. The apartment building also has a pet bathing station available if your pet needs cleaning. If you are concerned with a public bathing station, I am perfectly comfortable bathing your pet in the bath in my apartment. Please, let me know of any health or hygiene issues beforehand. Medications/allergies/health concerns are extremely important to me.

“Joy has kept our puppy several times now, and he is always so happy when he arrives and sees her and her family! She sends so many updates and photos, and we truly have peace of mind while we are away. She goes above and beyond and we’re so appreciative! Would trust her with anything that we need for our pup.”

About: I have volunteered at my local humane society for about 3 or 4 years! I started after I brought in a puppy from the street and they loved that I loved a dog I’ve never even met so much to take her home and they signed me up for volunteer work! I love dogs so much I will always make time for them! Aghhh I can’t even put it into words how much I love dogs! I take great care of my pets! They all have had birthday parties as well as their own clothes for winter and things! I love all pets the same!
