“Katie is an animal lover. She treated Victoria with the respect that I give her, and she was flexible in her care. She gets it. I will certainly ask for her help again.”
“Danielle is such a warm and friendly person; our two reserved kitties warmed up to her fairly quickly, judging by the photos she sent to us via the Rover app. I enjoyed reading how "their day" was going, even if it was only the portion of the day when Danielle visited. We will definitely ask her to care for our kitties on future trips, knowing they will be in loving hands. I highly recommend Danielle!”
“Ten was fantastic with my 2 fur babies who need to be fed 2x a day. Even my very shy cat came out to see her. Will absolutely be booking with REN again. Excellent visit notes as well.”
“We ask Allison to watch our animals every time we’re out of town!! She takes the best care of them, is always quick to respond, and sends the funniest pictures and updates. I can’t say enough good things about her!!”
“Mollie was very sweet and professional from the first time she text me to agree to watch my two cats. This is the first time I had used this service and she made it so easy. I love the updates I received each time she came that included pictures. I would recommend her to anyone in need of this service.”
“Suzanne was wonderful with Princess (my cat). I would highly recommend her to any of my friends or family. If we go on any more trips I will definitely try to rebook with her.”
“We’ve had Connor over so many times that even the babies expect to see him if they don’t see us. He is great with the babies, always good with communicating, and happy to accommodate requests.”
About: I've taken care of animals my whole life. I had 3 dogs growing up and I took a primary role in their care!

I am a recent college graduate from UAB trying to make some money while finding my place in the professional world with a job that fits my schedule. My schedule is currently very open!

About: I am a dog lover who is usually home full time, I like to take dogs for walks multiple times a day to make sure they are not always bored at home and to make their stay with me better (weather it’s an hour or a month) I have experience with any size dog, and I can provide them with special care if necessary (grooming, nail clipping, shower, etc) Dogs usually like me because I am energetic, patient and spoil them once in a while, I have taken care of puppies and senior dogs as well, so the dog’s age is not an issue. I’m sure your dog will enjoy my company because I always strive for the best and my goal is to make your pet feel at home.
About: I’ve been around dogs my entire life and have extensive experience in training and handling. I provide personalized, one-on-one attention to ensure every pup feels safe, happy, and well cared for. While you’re at work, your dog will enjoy a fun, engaging, and secure environment filled with playtime, companionship, and plenty of love! I currently have a flexible schedule and make it a priority to keep my calendar up to date with any times I’m unavailable. I don’t have many set plans at the moment, so I’m able to be highly reliable and responsive for bookings. Whether you need last-minute help or something scheduled in advance, I’ll do my best to accommodate your needs! Drop-In Visits & Dog Walking Services When you book me for a drop-in visit, your pets get more than just a quick check-in—they get genuine attention, love, and care. I’ll follow all your instructions carefully, whether that’s feeding, giving medication, letting them out for a potty break, cleaning up messes, or just offering some playtime and affection while you’re away. I make sure your pets feel safe and relaxed, and I always send updates and photos so you know how they’re doing. For dog walking, I tailor each walk to your dog’s needs—whether they’re full of energy and need a brisk walk or prefer a slower, sniff-filled stroll. Safety is my top priority, and I make sure your dog gets quality exercise, enrichment, and a calm return home. I always make sure water bowls are topped off before I leave and that your pup is settled and happy. Consistency, kindness, and communication are at the heart of how I care for every pet. 🐾

“My husband and I have 2 sweet baby girls! One of them has severe anxiety with other people and the other will be your BFF! ? We decided to go the beach last minute with my in-laws. This was the longest we have ever left them. From the first moment I communicated with Amanda, she was very detailed and put my mind at ease about leaving my babies. She came for drop-in visits and stayed over time caring for and loving on our dogs! She sent pictures and videos at every visit and ensured they had fresh water and food. She worked so hard to reach out anxious Remi girl and to my amazement, actually got her kind of close, and Remi wasn't even barking. ❤️ When we arrived home from our trip, Amanda had left a daily report detailing every visit and left a super sweet personalized note to us and the girls. The most special touch of all was the little basket of treats and toys she had on the counter! ??We will definitely use book with her again! Your babies will be in great care of you decide to book with her as well!”
