“Gracie is a fantastic Rover! She is very pleasant to work with and even helped me out last minute for a quick drop in to feed my four legged furry friend. Doesn’t disappoint with her walks either. She goes the distance to get your dog some good exercise! Will use as long as she around!”

About: I know how stressful it can be to choose someone to care for your pets, and I’ve totally been there. I have two small dogs myself, and I hate leaving them behind.

About: I have worked with various breeds from a Newfoundland to a Pomeranian. My family owns two dogs that have had two litters of puppies so I have experience with dogs from new born to seniors. I also have a two furbabies of my own. I’m highly motivated and energetic, I don’t mind taking high energy dogs for long walks/ runs or just snuggling up and comforting dogs with separation anxiety. I don’t mind taking your dog on field trips, weather it’s to the lake or the dog park or just playing inside on rainy days! I love all breeds of dogs even ones considered “bully breeds” those are the sweetest in my opinion. For dog boarding if you have your dogs trained a certain way (staying off furniture) I can certainly enforce that while they are at my house. I can also work with any other needs like that if it is needed. Such as if your dogs do not get along with other dogs I can always put mine up in their room. The dogs will always meet in a neutral area before brought in the house to make sure they get along! I am currently attending school online so my schedule is open and very flexible! Whether your dog just needs a walk midday, someone to feed them while you’re at work, or someone to come stay with them/ to come stay with me and my pup because they aren’t good alone at home! I am currently in an house it does not have a fenced in backyard but i do have a big backyard and tie outs. I also have 2 furbabies to keep your pup comapany! If your dog is reactive i will make sure to keep a close eye on our surroundings while on walks!

About: I am a dog lover through and through! I grew up with dogs my whole life and have helped out friends and neighbors with house sitting, dog walking, and generally caring for their babies! My own family dog, Barkley is a boxer who has severe epilepsy and is on a strict medication schedule, so I understand the importance of careful attentiveness, especially when an animal requires extra care or monitoring. I often help care for him and our 12 year old boxer, Rudy. I have cared for older dogs, puppies, cats, and both large and small dogs! I can’t wait to help make your life easier! I am a teacher, so my days and nights are wide open for summer! I have a large amount of availability and would love to be there when you need me.

About: As a professional zookeeper and passionate pet parent, I bring expert level care to animals of all shapes and sizes. From cats and dogs to reptiles, birds, and pocket pets, I have hands-on experience with a wide variety of species and their unique needs. Whether your pet has fur, feathers, or scales, I’ll provide reliable, compassionate care tailored to their routine and personality because every animal deserves the best. Animal care is a part of my everyday life—both personally and professionally. As a zookeeper, my daily routine revolves around meeting the needs of a wide variety of animals, from feeding and enrichment to health checks and habitat care. At home, I care for my two cats and a lizard, so pet care doesn’t just fit into my routine—it is my routine. I’m used to early mornings, detailed schedules, and adapting to each animal’s unique needs, which makes me reliable, consistent, and fully present when caring for pets of any kind. When pet sitting in a client’s home, I focus on maintaining your pet’s normal routine to reduce stress and keep them comfortable. I follow feeding schedules, provide playtime, clean litter boxes or enclosures, and ensure your pet has plenty of attention and affection. I also keep your home tidy and provide regular updates so you can feel at ease while you’re away. With training, I use positive reinforcement techniques tailored to your pet’s needs and personality. Whether it’s building confidence, teaching basic manners, or reinforcing good behavior. My goal is always to provide safe, reliable, and enriching care while you’re away.

About: My passion for dogs is out of this world and my services are to give you comfort and ease while you are a way on vacation! I have a friendly dog of my own that accompanies me and would love having you dog around just as much as I will. I am currently working but I am available to help anytime. If needed I can dog sit on weekends and also do grooming as well. I will always make sure the dog will have everything it needs and that it’s space and area is clean! Dogs are just humans with fur.
About: I’m 39 years old and there has been a pet in my life since I was 7. I’m an only child and my pets quickly became like siblings (we didn’t fight like them, promise). I became the primary caregiver for my mom’s two senior mini dachshunds a few years ago and was able to get them crate and pee-pad trained. One of them crossed the rainbow bridge sadly, but my other little old lady is doing well. I fall in love with every animal I see and I would love the chance to fall in love with yours. I’m currently working a full time second shift job (1pm-11pm) so I have the mornings completely open to check on your babies. I’m also a night owl and have no problem doing a nighttime check after work or begin an overnight stay. If you have a fenced yard, I will let them outside and let them do their business before tossing a ball or toy or running around with them to get the zoomies out. If no yard, then I will take them out on a leash for a walk then some playtime inside. Food and water will be checked and refilled; cuddles will be provided at will. :)
About: I had 3 cocker spaniels as a kid, separately, loved them, they loved me. Did everything together. Would love more time with dogs. Cats, too I work 5 evenings a week from 5pm-10, (shorter that overnight sleep), off Monday and Thursday. It has worked out great for both sides. Just a mile from home. There’s community property where pets do their business, we’re required to pick up poop. All dogs are leashed to avoid issues. Leashing required in Hoover.
