“Katie, we really appreciate the thoughtful attention and excellent care you provided our two dogs. It is not easy accommodating both a senior dog with health issues and a teenage pup who demands a lot of attention. We will ask for you when we need help in the future. If anyone reading this review is hesitating to leave their pet because of age and/or health issues, ask for Katie, she will do an exceptional job.”


“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!”



“Maria was great with our pups for a week while we were at the beach. Great communication and daily pics! One of our dogs got sick but she cleaned up after her and even went out and got some special food for her. Highly recommend using Maria!”


“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.”


About: I cared for my 2 sweet black Cocker Spaniels as a child and as a young adult I had a Coon Hound as well as a Chihuahua. I am retired and have plenty of time to care for your pet. I only leave for short grocery runs, but if asked, will not leave your precious pet alone. I have a medium sixed fenced back yard for exercise, sunshine, and lots of fetch games for you precious small dog and a cool home during the hot months.

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. 🐾

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 taken care of animals my whole life. I had 3 dogs growing up and I took a primary role in their care! I love animals and I frequently read articles on how to interpret their behavior and what foods to incorporate in their diet to promote longevity. I'm passionate about pet care and I assure you your animal will receive the best care from me <3. 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! I live in a housevwith 2 cats and 1 senior dog so I can only host friendly pets , but I am completely open to taking care of your babies in your own home!

We have helped birth and raised numerous dogs, numerous cats from birth, to include bottle feeding both dogs and cats. I have worked at horse ranch as well. My wife and I have grown up around and cared for animals all of our life. I currently work full time and I'm home by 5pm, but my wife is a stay at home mother, so someone will always be available for potty breaks, feeding, watering or play time! We are able to do drop in visits, boarding as well as dog sitting! We currently have 4 very friendly dogs that get along great with any animal we have had over or around, so plenty of friends for your pup to play with!

About: I started pet sitting and walking when I was a kid. I took my passion in animals and became a professional certified pet groomer. I’ve been grooming for 3 years now, with experience in EVERY breed, age, temperament, and special needs. I pride myself in giving your pet(s) the best quality care and comfort possible. I have a special place in my heart for senior pups, but even the young puppers steal my heart. I currently work Monday through Friday with some evenings that I am free. Saturday and Sunday are my free days where I have the most flexible time. I have two dogs of my own, who love meeting new friends. I have experience with crating pets, walking, feeding, giving medications as needed, working with reactive and temperamental pups, and doing whatever is necessary for the safety and comfort of your pet(s). Whatever they may need.

About: Through my time working in shelters, as a pet sitter/dog walker, and head trainer for multiple companies I have met and loved hundreds of dogs. My scientific background as well as extensive behavioral knowledge makes me extremely capable to take care of any breed and personality. I am an avid hiker and love to show dogs a good time. Whatever your pups preferred activities, I can accommodate and more! I love to add in mental exercise in the form of training and games to truly tire out your pup, not just physically, while working on valuable life skills as well. I have experience with reactivity, resource guarding, fearful/shy dogs, anxiety, medical issues, deaf/blind dogs, puppies and adolescents and more. My own three dogs- Flash, Capri, and Keller- are my best friends and best teachers. I can’t wait to meet your best friend too! Owning my own dog training company provides so much including a flexible schedule. My lessons are no longer than 2 hours at most and I typically only have 1-2 a day which gives me plenty of time morning, afternoon, and evening to continue to care for dogs in whatever capacity you need. I treat every client’s home and dog as my own. I respect privacy and security making sure to check and double check all gates, doors, and locks. Working at a professional pet sitting company for many years in the past has given me the experience to get in and out of your house safely while caring for your dog and providing you with peace of mind. Your dog is my top priority when I am with them. I value leash safety and carry my own safety equipment at all times including non-slip martingale collars, extra leashes, and carabiners. I am a pro at avoiding off leash dogs or other unwanted attention on walks depending on your dogs preferences. I pride myself on a deep understanding of canine body language allowing me to determine when and what your dog would like to do or avoid.

About: With years of pet care experience, I genuinely love working with animals of all sizes and ages. I’m skilled in feeding, grooming, and administering medication, always prioritizing their comfort and safety. Whatever I’m not experienced in, I’m eager to learn! What truly sets me apart is my ability to build meaningful connections with pets, making them feel loved and secure ensuring they receive the best care possible. I currently have flexible availability and can accommodate various scheduling needs. My goal is to ensure your pets receive the care they deserve, whenever you need it. During drop-in visits, I prioritize the comfort and well-being of pets by first assessing their behavior and environment to ensure they feel at ease. I provide fresh food and water according to the owner’s instructions and engage in playtime and walks tailored to each pet's energy levels and preferences. Basic grooming tasks, if requested. If medication is needed, I administer it as directed and keep a record of what was given. I make sure to spend quality time with the pets, offering companionship. Communication is very important so I ensure I provide frequent updates!

About: I've loved/cared for animals since I was born, but once I turned 16 I started house-sitting overnight as well as walking dogs for friends, family members, and neighbors. I currently have one dog, Ringo, who has special medications and allergy needs, so I am familiar with administering medication to animals if need be. My part-time freelance position gives me an abundance of time to help with your precious little fur babies and include them into my day to day schedule 💗 I care for pets specifically in their owner's home, whether that be specifically dropping in to take them out on walks, or keeping them company while their family is on vacation!

“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!”
