“Cindy is the best!! I couldn’t possibly say enough good things!! She is so gentle and caring towards my Molly. I feel so good in the knowledge that Molly is in the safe, loving hands. And Molly adores her!”


About: Hello! My name is Miya I have had many years of pet experience from puppies to elder dogs. I have only grew up with animals around. I am very active in my sports so i will be able to give much exercise while you are away. (i have had to administer pills through mouth as well and liquid in syringes). I truly love all animals super small to super big and would love to take care of yours while you’re away! (CONTACT FOR TIMES I DO WORK 2 JOBS) book with me for amazing, and loving pet care while you’re gone! 🐶🐱🐭🐹🐾 i have to take care of 4 animals every day. it plays a large role in my everyday life with work and vacation and now college starting, but i will make it work with them no matter what i have a privacy fence around the whole yard with a gate connecting and a glass door to help keep animals from running off. the fence is also very high so dogs can’t jump over and leave.

“Chelsea is the best dog sitter I have ever had. She is reliable and keeps me updated on how my pup is doing. She also send lots of pictures and my pup doesn’t want to leave her!”


About: I lived with a husky and a daschound for a couple of years recently with family and it was a lot of fun and great experience. I had small dogs growing up and I love large dogs too. I am very capable, reliable, and compassionate with both dogs and cats! I have extra time this summer, with more open availability than usual. I would love to help routinely (weekly or otherwise) with anyone that leaves their pets home alone a little bit more than they would prefer ideally! I have a larger space with an extra room, so I can temporarily take in at least two animals at my place if need be.

About: I am a new pet sitter ready to help families. I understand what it is like to need someone to watch animals for vacations, day trips, or long work days. I do not have the community to watch my dog, so I want to be the community to help watch your dog. I have a 15 year old dog and a 2 year old puppy. I have seen all stages of the dog experience and I am ready to help others out. I have a hybrid job that I can have the flexibility to check in on your animal throughout the day or even work from your house for a house sit. If needed, I can rearrange my in office days to work remote to best assist you. I am committed to giving your pet what they need. I am prepared to take your dog for a walk, taking them for a car ride, or ensuring their food bowl is around. I love playful dogs and will be happy to take them outside to burn some energy as well.

About: Hey everyone! I’m Becca and I have 10+ years in the pet care industry, and care for most species of animals! I have 3 fur babies of my own: a dog, a rabbit, and a cat. Animals are my life and I have spent the last few years working at several animal hospitals in the Tuscaloosa and Birmingham areas. I care for dogs, as well as anything from cats to reptiles to fish to rodents. I work remotely in high ticket sales, but I will have plenty of time to spend with your fur babies! I do pet care every day of my life with having animals of my own, and always make sure they living the best life possible! For drop-ins, I follow instructions given to me by the clients. I double check everything to make sure I am all set before I leave.

About: I have experience caring for puppies as well as senior dogs and administering medications; I helped care for my family dog - Buddy (a shih tzu) who, as he grew older, had many health issues and needed multiple medications. I have some experience with training puppies and, over time have taken care of various dogs whether it be to walk, feed or care for them. I am a soon-to-be registered nurse in December and am currently working minimal hours throughout the week. I have plenty of time at the moment to provide care, walks, visits, and more for your animals. I provide safe handling of pets and am committed to your pets well-being based on your input as I understand that each pet has different needs; nobody knows your pet like you! I adapt quickly to situations and am ready to care for your animals with all the love.

About: I've been raised with animal companions in our home my whole life. I am naturally comfortable around all species of animals & value them as the beautiful individuals they are. In my adult years I have rescued 7 cats and 1 dog and learned many medical techniques through caring for their various needs. I feel comfortable & have experience administering subcutaneous fluids, insulin injections, oral medication, eye/nose/ear drops, and food & medication through a feeding tube. I understand pets come with messes & I can handle messy cleanups. I have experience volunteering with the Space Coast Feline Network & assisting with care to the 70+ cats at their shelter. Over the years, many of my friends/neighbors have requested me to watch their cats, dogs, fish, birds, guinea pigs while they were out of town and it's always been a pleasure to love on other animal babies so I wanted to offer my services beyond my personal acquaintances. I work from home 4 days a week and only go into the office 1 day per week. My work schedule is pretty flexible for allowing me small interruptions through the day to tend to an animal's needs and to move my work time around as needed. I am available for affection/snuggles throughout the day. My husband is home with my daughters while I work. Apart from a few family outings throughout the week, someone is almost always home. It's an ideal situation for pet-sitting, dog-walking, etc. Your pet’s safety & well-being is my #1 priority when they are in my care. I have a fenced in yard for a dog to play and go potty. I have a nice neighborhood to take them on walks. The pets are welcome to lounge on our sofas/beds with us. I can offer a private room if desired. I have an older male cat with front paws declawed that is currently kept separated from our dog. Our dog is not friendly with cats but is with other dogs. I have two daughters (ages 3 & 6) that love animals and have been taught to be careful around them. We can offer lots of love, treats (if allowed), massages, snuggles, fetch & playtime.

About: I’ve had dogs my whole life. I have an Italian mastiff that has had dog training through K-9 Academy. Enjoy your time away from home knowing your pet is taken care of. I’ll enjoy keeping your pup busy on walks and playing fetch. I’ll have plenty of time to care for your pup, also special time arrangements can be made on weekends in advance. I enjoy watching, walking, and taking care of your fur baby. Your fur baby is my top priority. Their safety comes first. I’ll respect your home and give your pup the attention they need while you’re away.

About: I’ve had a pet my whole entire life from cats, dogs and more. My neighborhood is friendly and open for walks and fields for playing. I cherish animal love so much because they’re so innocent and cute. I love cuddling with them and running around in the backyard for fun. My siblings would love to have animals in my house everyday. Dogs are my absolute favorite and cats are just adorable !!♥️ I’m currently a stay at home mom with my 9 month old and my 2 siblings (7 & 10), who also LOVE animals (yes even the 9 month old..esp dogs). We can travel anywhere & they’ll be my little helpers throughout the week! I have a fenced in yard, leash’s, 2 amazing helpers who love animals just as much as i do! I’ve also taken care of animals all my life.

About: I have taken care of dogs for years now. I am very hands-on with training my pups. I am very active and reliable. I like being up early and getting the day started. I have experience with very large breeds and tea cup breeds! At home I have a Bernese Mountain Dog puppy, and a German Shepherd. I enjoy all animals and animals usually love me. I do not mind the weather conditions of Michigan and have never called off from any job. I am good at communicating and if there is ever any issues I would ensure you know right away. I love other people’s animals like they are my own and would not have any issues with high maintenance, or dogs with medical needs. You will not be disappointed if you choose me to look after your fur babies. I have 2 rabbits that I care for daily, they are free-range and at just like cats! I always ensure my pups at home are getting the right amount of activity weather it is just throwing the ball or going for a run. I do have a fenced in yard, with no dogs in the neighboring yards. With having the community center close, walks are a lot of fun and they love all the new smells!

“Absolutely amazing! I can always rely on Dawn for the very best care of my dog while I’m at work. I feel extremely comfortable and confident in her care. Reina adores Dawn! I could not have asked for a better, more caring woman to care for my dog.”


About: I’ve taken care of many dogs over the years like friends, family, neighbors or even anyone in need of a sitter. I’ve also owned a dog of my own. By owning 2 cats of my own I’m always playing with them, feeding them, and taking care of their litter box. I also do a good job of making them feel comfortable and loved. For cats I make sure they’re well fed, played with, and their litter box gets taken care of. For dogs I make sure they’re fed well, played with, and taken outside a good amount of times.

About: I've owned animals ever since I could remember. When I was a baby we had a cat named Pookie Bear. Around the time I turned 5 my parents bought me a dog I named Pumpkin. Around 7 years ago Pookie Bear unfortunatly passed away, but knowing we needed a cat we bought 4 more! Void, Cuddles, Peeper and Ci-Ci. Then in 2019 Pumpkin had to be put down, but I couldnt live without a dog, so that summer I went and bought a German Shepherd puppy that I named Gizmo. Gizmo is now 3 years old and I couldnt imagine life without him. He is truly part of the family now. I travel for work on some weekends but am mostly always free. I will make sure to always have my calendar updated to show when I wont be availible. If I am checking up on your animal I will make sure to follow all directions given and also give the animal the best care that it needs!


About: If you are looking for someone whose patient, caring, and loves animals you're in luck! I'll give your dogs a great time with doggie day care, dog walking, and or an overnight stay for those "ruff" times when you have a tight schedule and need someone else to care for your pet. At my house i have a more than willing play mate named Jackson. He's a senior medium sized dog who is pretty playful, excitable, and active for his age. I also have a Chihuahua mix breed dog named trouble who is friendly as well, around age 5. So for overnight stays and doggie daycare if your dog gets along with other dogs and is willing to meet this is your ideal sitter! I also do dog walking if you are interested, I always have treats available if your pet can have them☺️ I live in a house with my boyfriend and his parents. No kids here! My boyfriend and I live in the upstairs, his parents and his step dad's son(19yrs old) lives downstairs. However your dog(s) will have free reign on the whole house for the most part. I do have a fenced yard for the fur babies who need a fenced yard!😁 I hope you find this about me section helpful for picking me as your new dog sitter/walker. Thank you for your time!

About: I’ve been around dogs my whole life. As a kid, we always had at least 3 dogs! As an adult, I adopted my own dog, a miniature daschund, who lived to be 16.5 years old, and I also had a cocker spaniel, who lived to be 12 years old. So I have plenty of experience with elderly dogs. I now have a 9 month old Labrador retriever. He has so much energy, loves to walk and play in the yard, and would LOVE to meet your furry friend. I work 4 days, and then I have 4 days off, so I’ll be available to help you and your pet out with whatever you need! I work 4 12 hour shifts, and then I’m off for 4 days. I will be available most of the days that I’m off. I may be busy on weekends though. I do daily walks with my own dog and work on training with him whenever I can. And we love to play fetch! I have a fenced yard for the dogs to run and play. I have a baby pool for the hot days, my dog loves water! I also have plenty of toys to play with.
