About: We currently have 3 big dogs and 4 cats, but we also have had farm animals, and other inside pets like fish and turtles. I've been around animals for so long, and I love dogs so much I'll stop strangers just to ask if I can pet them. I'd love to love on your fur babies the same way I do mine! I currently work retail part time, and am looking for something I'll enjoy to do with my off days! Scheduling will be based around that, unless a long term care plan is being sought out:) and it easier to do during slow season;) Because we have 7 animals at home (all inside), any care would be provided at your home. I'll come to you, for feeding/play time/walks or whatever you may need!

About: I have 2 labs that have been a member of our family for 15 years. I also volunteer at the shelby co. humane society and the birmngham zoo.

About: With over 16 years of experience in animal care, I bring a strong background in both small and large animals—including horses, livestock, and dogs. I’ve worked in veterinary clinics and dog boarding facilities, which gave me hands-on experience with animals of all temperaments and needs. While I value the structure of those settings, I believe in-home care is the most comfortable and stress-free option for most pets. I currently care for two dogs and two horses of my own, and I approach every client’s animal with the same level of respect, patience, and attentiveness I give my own. I’m pretty flexible and can easily fit pet care into my daily schedule. Whether it’s walks, feedings, or just some quality cuddle time, I make sure your pets get the attention they deserve without any hassle on your end! I prioritize safety and trust above all else when caring for pets in your home. Creating a calm, secure environment is essential to help your pets feel comfortable and relaxed while you’re away. I treat your home and pets with the same respect and care I would expect for my own!

Callie W.
“Callie is phenomenal with animals. She is reliable, trustworthy, and always on time. My dog, Skittles, is relatively high maintenance due to her anxiety. She is a rescue with a troubled past and sometimes has difficulties accepting new people into her life. Callie was so patient with her, and she never gave up on working to make sure my dog was comfortable. Now, it's unbelievable how excited Skittles gets whenever she sees Callie! Callie is very responsive, and she's helped to make sure my house looks better than when I left it when she comes over. I never have to worry if Skittles has food or water with Callie. She is a wonderful young woman, and any pet and pet owners would be lucky to have her!”
Carmen B.
“We actually went on vacation this year and asked Carmen to take care of our dogs for us. They were very well taken care of! Fresh food and water was available to them when we arrived home after our trip. A couple of days later we had Carmen over as an extra thank you for taking care of our babies and all of them were happy to see her one again! That was a true testimony of how they felt about Carmen after she had been away for a few days! Our pups love her and we do too!”
