“Whitney took great care of my fur baby!! She accepted willow into her home with loving and caring arms. She sent me videos and pictures of her and made sure she was well taken care of. Will definitely keep using Whitney in the future!”


“Absolutely amazing! She updated me the entire time my pup stayed and made everything so comfy and easy for my pup and me! Would recommend her to anyone it was an incredible experience!!”


“I thank God that I chose Quadricka to book with. She made me feel very at ease about leaving my Bailey with her. She has the most welcoming spirit and her personality certainly matches her bio. Her home is very nice, comfy, and very clean which means a lot. She sent pics of Bailey, kept me updated,and she also was very responsive if I checked on him. He was happy and energetic when I dropped him off and when I picked up him up! She is definitely a 10/10 so book with her today because she is definitely my sitter from now on out.”


“She was great. House was clean, doggie updates were adorable and pups came home happy and bathed. Be really specific on pick up and drop off times well in advance and this is a perfect sitter”


“Chelsea was amazing! She was available last minute to watch our dachshund and was very kind! She sent multiple updates including pictures and videos. Frank loved his time hanging out with her and her doggos!”


“Anna watched BJ for us during the tornado scare while we were in LA. I was so worried not being able to be with my dog in such scary weather. Anna kept us updated and truly treated BJ as one of her own. That really let me know that we will probably never use another sitter unless she is unavailable because she really does love the animals she watches. We can’t thank you enough Anna, you rock!!”


“Bailey’s stay with Morgan was FABULOUS! I volunteer for Lost Dogs Illinois so I know firsthand how many dogs are lost when with a sitter. Morgan was super patient with my many questions and happily allowed a meet and greet in advance of Bailey’s stay so I could see her home and yard. When we arrived for Bailey’s stay, Mason and Morgan had it planned very carefully for a safe introduction to another dog staying with them and their dog, Tug. During her stay, Bailey enjoyed playing with Tug and the other pup visiting. Morgan sent me photo and video updates and was always super speedy in her responses to my texts. I could not be happier with Bailey’s stay with Morgan, Mason, and Tug. I’m sure she’ll be back with Morgan when we visit our Bama student again in the future.”


About: I have worked at an animal clinic for 10 years. I started out working in the kennels taking care of the animals boarding. I worked my way up to now assisting in surgeries and treatments. I also do some grooming like nail trims, anal glands, all over cuts, and baths. I can administer any medications needed. I am currently working on shifting my schedule into being a stay at home mom so I am available all throughout the week and the weekends. I have a fenced in yard with 2 playful pups of my own. I also live in a subdivision so any pup that needs a nice long walk I can do!

About: I have been an avid pet lover, owner, and caregiver my entire life! Throughout my teenage years I worked, and rode, for many top equestrian facilities in Georgia providing weekend barn care such as stall cleaning, feeding, and turnout. I have provided farm/pet sitting for numerous clients, friends, and families over the years, being solely responsible for up to 30 horses, as well as their pets, at one time. Most recently, I have 5 years of experience working in the veterinary industry. I currently have 2 dogs! A 4 year old Golden Retriever and a 7 year old Shepsky who both are my best friends! I currently do work full-time in Birmingham, however I am off every Friday and available on weekends as well! Mondays-Fridays I can provide afternoon and evening pet care services as well. At home, we have a fully fenced in yard and both of our dogs are friendly and love to play! I can also crate your pets if need be, and am comfortable administering oral/topical medications.

About: I have experience with both puppies and senior pets, and I’m really good at picking up on their needs. I’m patient with training, gentle with older pets, and always go the extra mile to make sure they feel safe and loved. I treat every animal like family and take pride in being dependable and caring. Pet care is a central part of my daily and weekly routine. I plan my days around each pet’s needs to ensure they receive consistent, personalized attention. Mornings typically begin with feeding, walking, or checking in on pets who stay overnight or require morning visits. Midday is often dedicated to dog walks or drop-in visits, especially for pets who need a bathroom break, medication, or company while their owners are at work. Follow the pet’s regular feeding schedule, including any medications. Provide fresh water at all times. Take dogs on walks or let them out as needed. Keep cats’ litter boxes clean and odor-free. Stick to the pet’s normal routine to reduce stress. Spend quality time with pets through play, affection, and attention.

“She is definitely the best!! She gave updates throughout the day/night and almond with Pictures of our fur baby!!! If you’re looking for a safe and loving home booked with Ainsley!!!!”


“Our dog Toby stayed with Jennifer and her dogs for over two weeks and he had a great time! Jennifer sent us short videos so we could see how he was doing and she gave him his flea pill on time. In the past we’ve had Toby come home from a sitter seemingly traumatized, but he came back from Jennifer’s happy and in great shape. The only downside was I don’t think he wanted to leave, LOL!”


“Danielle was in every sense excellent. She was far more capable than myself of watching these guys and was so chilled out during their entire stay as if to say, “don’t worry, i’ve got it.” My guys, Robby and Zoe, would exceedingly recommend that you book her at once. Thank you.”


About: I’ve taken care of pets since I was a kid. Not only did my neighbors and friends entrust me with their fur babies, but I also grew up surrounded by animals, learning the responsibilities and joys of pet care firsthand. Over the years, I've developed a deep understanding of different species' needs, from feeding and grooming to administering medications and providing companionship. Whether it's dogs, cats, or more exotic animals, I approach every pet with the same love, patience, and attention to detail. My experience has not only made me a reliable caregiver but also a true animal lover, always eager to ensure that every pet feels safe, loved, and well-cared for. As a college student, pet care is an important part of my daily routine. I make sure to prioritize my pet’s needs alongside my studies and other commitments. In the mornings, I take time to feed and walk my dog before heading to class, and I make sure to set aside time between lectures for quick check-ins or play sessions. On busy days, I arrange my schedule so that I can either rely on a trusted friend or pet sitter or make sure my pet has everything they need, like food, water, and toys, to keep them comfortable while I’m away. In the evenings, after my coursework or study sessions, I spend quality time with my pet, whether that’s going for a walk or just relaxing together. I’ve learned to balance school and pet care by staying organized and making sure my pet's needs are always met, even during the busiest weeks. Living in an apartment, I make sure to create a pet-friendly environment that keeps both my own pets and any clients’ pets safe, comfortable, and happy. For my own pets, I ensure they have enough space to move around, with designated areas for eating, playing, and resting. I also make the most of the apartment’s layout by using pet-friendly furniture, toys, and scratch pads to keep them engaged. Since apartment living often means limited outdoor space, I prioritize regular walks and playtime at nearby parks or open areas. For my clients, I adapt my approach based on the pet’s specific needs. If I’m pet-sitting or providing care at their home, I follow their usual routine as closely as possible—whether it’s feeding, administering medication, or playing. I also make sure to pet-proof the space, ensuring there’s nothing harmful or dangerous within reach. For dogs, I take them for regular walks and provide enrichment through play and mental stimulation. For cats and other small pets, I ensure their litter boxes are clean, food and water are fresh, and that they have plenty of space to roam or rest. Overall, whether in my apartment or a client's home, I focus on maintaining a consistent routine and providing personalized care to ensure pets feel secure and content.

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!
