House Sitting Rock Creek

About: I can't remember a time in my life I did not have my own pets. I have taken care of my own pets all of my life and am a lifelong animal caregiver. I have experience as a foster mom for an animal rescue as well and I enjoyed taking care of so many different babies and helping them find their forever homes. I have always had both cat and dog companions and have advocated and helped friends and family with their pets as well. I currently have a senior dog, a senior cat, who have both been with me for over 13 years, three cats who are two years old and a leopard gecko! I would love to meet you and help with your pet care needs! I'm currently available part-time, on Monday- Friday from 9:00 am- 1:30 pm. I would be happy to work around your schedule as much as possible! I have a fenced in yard and pets of my own. I understand each pet has their own personality and needs tailored to them. I will be an active listener and always treat and care for your pets according to your wishes!

About: I have been taking care of my friends and families animals since I was a child. I currently have a 7 year old male Shiba Inu that I’ve raised from 9 weeks old. He’s very friendly, and potty trained. He gets tons of love all the time, along with our male 5 year old Staffordshire Pitbull Terrier named Skipper. I will be more than happy to take care of and play with your animals/babies. I keep the dogs on a close leash to me when walking. I would prefer a harness if they are not leash trained, to avoid tugging or pulling. I always keep a couple plastic bags handy for picking up poop when needed. I graduated in 2022 with a bachelors degree in Biochemistry from the University of North Florida. I am currently a full time veterinary technician at Avondale Animal Hospital and I am more than happy to help out. I keep my dogs on a daily schedule so I understand the need for routine. Currently just moved to the area and learning my way around, I’d be happy to fit you in. I prefer visits at the client’s home to ensure safety of the pet and to make sure they are not stressed from a new place.

“Caspar was incredible! He spent a lot of time with our pets, making sure they were happy and comfortable, and kept us in the loop with messages and pictures!”

About: I love dog. I’m a very out doors person. I play in college so with me I love taking them on walks the dog park. I’m currently a student-athlete playing volleyball at Birmingham, and I’m home all day after practice and have a flexible schedule. I’m very disciplined with my time, so I can reliably care for pets early mornings, evenings, or throughout the day. Pet care fits naturally into my routine, and I’m doing this to help support my schooling, so I take it seriously. I provide a safe, clean, and comfortable environment for every pet. I have a spacious apartment and a pet washing station so I can always give your pet a bath and a pet-friendly home where dogs can relax, play, and feel at ease. I also have experience being around other dogs, so I’m attentive to their behavior and make sure everyone is supervised and comfortable.

“Zaira was a lifesaver!! The day before she was scheduled to watch my dog, Darla (my dog) got super sick and had to go to the vet. Zaira was super flexible, helped pick her up from the vet for me along with her meds, and took great care of her while I was on a mandatory work trip!! She saved my butt and was so flexible and accomodating, turning a really anxious and scary situation around for me. Will totally book again, thank you Zaira for being awesome!!!”

“Kayla was great— very communicative, professional, the type of person who you trust will take good care of your pup. We had travel issues crop up while Kayla was slated to take care of our dog & she just rolled with it. We would be happy to work with her again!”

About: I have had many years of pet sitting my four legged family members, minus the pay; however, I enjoyed it every moment of those amazing opportunities! All my other jobs are very flexible, in other words I am self-employed. Therefore, I am looking for all long term families to work with! We will all have plenty of outdoor space to get great exercise, plus cool indoor space to cool off on those hot, fun days! Also, I would love to take them to any dog parks.

“I would highly recommend Riley. I used his services as a house sitter to take care of my Pekingese, who is very shy. She warmed up to Riley almost instantly, which is a testament to him. He left my house in the same condition as to when I left it: very clean. I greatly appreciate him taking care of my pet and my house. I would describe Riley as very friendly, honest and reliable. He's obviously a pet lover. What more can you ask for in someone to help you with your pet's needs?”

Neighbors, friends, and family rely on me because I’m patient, gentle, and really pay attention to what each dog needs. I’m great with shy or anxious pets, and I know how to keep energetic dogs active, happy, and safe. Whether it’s walking, feeding, playtime, or baths, I make sure every pet feels loved and cared for the entire time you’re away. Your fur baby will always be my priority. I’m a nursing student with a very flexible schedule, so it’s easy for me to fit pet care into my day. I plan my classes and study time around my bookings, which means your pet always gets my full attention. I love having animals as part of my daily routine, and I’m happy to adjust to whatever schedule your fur baby needs. Your pet’s safety and comfort mean everything to me. I take my time to learn what each fur baby needs so they always feel calm and cared for.

Whether I’m in your home or mine, you can trust that your pet will be loved, watched closely, and treated gently every moment they’re with me.

“Kari and Alex did an outstanding job of looking after my senior shepherd and puppy lab, despite the fact that this was their first visit with them and that I was stuck for the weekend with no way to respond to their frequent photos and updates of what was happening on the home front. They were thoughtful, kind, and effective and I really feel lucky they were there to deal with everything they were faced with that weekend! Whew.”

About: I have owned two dogs, a cat, and a few fish back home in California. I have had experience with clipping nails, giving fluids, cleaning litter boxes, and the such. I am a medical student and have extra time throughout this semester! I have been missing having a pet of my own, so being able to take care of your precious animal would mean so much to me! I have an apartment of my own, there are several open green spaces that allow for dogs to play and use the restroom. I do not currently have any pets so any animal I board would have my full attention.

“Deshun was a consummate professional. He showed up a week before the scheduled dog sit just to meet my dog and make sure there weren't any issues. He kept me updated with daily pics of him and Phoebe having a great time and left my apartment in perfect shape. Would definitely hire again.”

Steven M.

“Jessie did an excellent job of taking care of our house and our pup while we were out of town for the weekend. We received daily updates and photos and she was quick to respond to any messages. We will definitely use Jessie again if she is available!”

Each one has their own personality, and I love getting to know what makes every dog special.
