From kittens, chickens, fish to senior dogs and bearded dragons. I have many years of experience with my own cats as well as a senior dog. I took care of her till her last days. I have sitted for several dogs and cats. I’ve even gone across the country to sit for someone’s dog! Animals give us so much and it is only right we give them the best love and care. It would be my honor to care for your furry family member. I will make sure they never feel alone and I’ll treat them like my own.

I've had many pets in my life, including many different breeds from rottweilers to shitzus. Im also extremely experienced with cats and even reptiles. I'm caring and just genuinely love animals. I'm also super friendly and good at communication. Excpect lots of photos of your pet while your away! I'm working part time hours and would love to care for your pet any other time I'm available. I'm looking forward to playing with your pets :) I have 2 years of experience working at a dog salon where the pets safety is our number one priority.

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 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've owned dogs for almost all my life. I absolutely adore them. I became a cat mum a few years ago and realized cats are very similar to dogs, endless love! Each animal has a very unique personality and I'm excited to meet yours! My friend works for a vets office and I frequently help with caring for dogs, cats, chickens, rabbits, birds and the occasional horse. When I go out of town I'm worried about my cats, getting picture updates helps so much. Know that I can update you and I will love your fur baby like my own! I'm comfortable with special needs and I feel communication between pet, parent and sitter are key. Know that I will value my time spent with them because their life is so precious!
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’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.
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’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: My family dog of 14 years just passed away 2 years ago. I helped care for him my whole life, and knew I was ready for my own! I now have my own pup named Blaze and he is my life. I love animals, and cant wait to meet so many more pups( and kitties) :) I’m currently working part time so I have plenty of time to go on long walks with dogs, or drop in several times a day to your home if that’s what your furry friend needs! I have a 6 month cavapoo pup who is full of energy. Long walks and lots of play time is a must for my pup! I can’t wait to offer other dogs the same.
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 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!

I went over there 3 times a dog to feed them take them out and take them for walks
About: I have been pet sitting almost every month for the past 4 years and it has been such an enjoyable and memorable experience and I appreciate everyone who has given me the opportunity to do so! I will make sure to communicate as frequently as you want, sharing pics and videos of your fur babies being adorable goofballs. I work from home four days a week, making it easy for me to spend quality time with your pets. I go on daily walks or runs and will happily bring them along. Since I work from home, your pets are never alone for too long! I will respect your home, take care of dishes, mail and trash, & ensure the place is cleaner than when I arrived.
About: Hi there! My name is Salina! (: Any dog I’ve met I have loved & treated like my own. I have taken care of dogs my whole life and growing up we always had a dog in the home. Unfortunately where I live now doesn’t allow for any pets so I get my fix through helping others take care of their pets! 🙂 I have taken care of dogs of all sizes & many different breeds! Dogs are family - really any pet you have is family & always deserve all the love & care! I am also very active & enjoy being outside, getting fresh air & exercising! I currently work a few days a week as a full time Nurse doing 12 hour shifts. However, I try my best to accommodate scheduling with your pets care & needs around my work schedule. If I can help in anyway to take care of your fur babies for you, I definitely will love to make it work! 😊 In your home, I can adapt & follow any routines your pups may have with detailed instructions. I will be sure to give them full quality interactions, making sure they have thier basic necessities & of course all the loves, belly rubs & words of praises! I would also love to know if they have any favorite snacks and/or toys!
About: From the second I entered this world I have been surrounded by pets in my animal loving home. I have been taking care of animals for as long as I can remember and understand the importance of giving every animal the love and care they deserve. Recent years away at school have left an empty space in my heart as there are no pets on a college campus. I am hoping to help fill this hole by helping others care for their pets! I am very active and can easily keep pets entertained while also balancing the responsibility of pet care tasks. I have almost full availability as it is the summer and would love to fill that time up with some animal love! I’m looking forward to caring for your pet in any way it needs! I have practically entirely full availability and am very flexible when working with scheduling. I am able to care for as long or as short of a time as you need. I will of course always listen to the instructions and wishes of the pet’s owner and am able to use anything provided such as leashes, harnesses, crates, toys, food/water items, etc.
