About: Each animal has a soul that deserve caring love. They deserve high quality care and attention. I communicate frequently through text and emails. I have been a social worker for 20+ years.

I will be happy to send photos while caring for your pets! I am currently teaching part time at Montevallo. I am off during the summer. I have a few free days each week. My husband and I have a daughter who is in college. This gives me some available time to petsit for your furbabies! I can drive to your place and care for your animals as needed. I am an avid communicator through text/email. I will be happy to send pictures of your pets during my time with them.

I tailor each visit to meet your dog’s unique needs and personality. I currently work from home and have an open schedule to be as attentive as I need to for your four legged friends. I love walks and always am ready for potty breaks I have a fenced in yard and two very friendly friends that can wait to make new friends. I do have a crate in the home if that’s what your furry friends prefers for its safe space.

About: Growing up in a house with lots of animals has taught me how to care for animals with patience, love, and responsibility from a very young age meaning I’m very comfortable handling all kinds of personalities, energy levels, and needs! I truly believe every animal deserves quality time, genuine affection, and attentive care — not just the basics. As a dog mom myself to my sweet (and slightly crazy!) baby, I completely understand how important it is to trust someone with your furry family member. I know how much specific routines, instructions, and little details matter, and I will always make sure your pet feels safe, loved, and comfortable while in my care. Whether your pet needs playtime, cuddles, walks, patience, or extra attention, I’m here for it all. You can relax knowing your baby will be treated like family with me! Skills… - oral medications - any type of extra care - shy/quiet animals - comfortable with hyper, energetic animals - older animals - puppies of any kind - calm under pressure - Excellent communication with owner - pet safety awareness - long walks and active play - gentle handling technique I work at Starbucks so I go by shifts each week!

This isn’t just another job for me, it’s a way to help others in a genuine, kind way! From one parent to another, I understand and I would love to work with you!

About: Hi! I’m Connor. I am passionate about dogs and giving them the love and care they deserve. I have spent time volunteering for Shelby humane as well as adopting my two dogs. I have also both cared for and been around dogs my whole life. I would love to go above and beyond and treat your fur baby like I would my own! I am currently in school for real estate. this helps provide a flexible schedule for my potential clients. My dog is very active so we have lots of time to play! I am happy to follow any instructions you provide for your home, while making sure your dog is safe and taken care of! I am very diligent to ease your mind

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. House Sitting Availability: I’m available for overnight care only, providing feeding, walks, and supervision during the night hours. Drop-In Visits Availability: I can provide up to two drop-in visits per day, including feeding, potty breaks, and basic care. In home boarding : I live in an apartment with a fenced deck, have two friendly dogs, and kids aged 3 and 8. I provide plenty of walks, playtime, and attention. I never board more than one family at a time, so your pup gets all the care and attention they need while you’re away. 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!

About: I’ve taken care of dogs and cats for 10 plus years. You will not have to worry about your pet with me I will make sure to send you as many updates you want and by the end of the stay your fur baby will have a new best friend (: I’m currently helping clean houses during the week but I still have plenty of free time to help you with your fur baby, I will be able to rearrange my schedule as needed. I will make sure your fur baby has food and water, I go by the book when given instructions on how you want your fur baby taken care of, I don’t mind crating them but if you don’t crate them I am absolutely be okay with them cuddling up to me while we watch tv. I can do check ins so that way I can spend 30 minutes to an hour making sure your fur baby goes on a walk and has exercise.

About: I have had pets most of my life. My dogs have been small breeds but I love them all. My dog recently passed away (age) and I thought how great it would be to love on others pets. I have a part time job with a flexible schedule so would be able to care for your pet most days. I would love to be of service. I am able to take your pet on walks, play with them to burn energy & whatever your needs are. These will be done at your house/neighborhood.

About: Hi, I’m Laniee — a passionate, dependable pet care provider with years of hands-on experience caring for animals of all breeds, sizes, ages, and personalities. Animals have always been a huge part of my life, and turning that passion into a lifelong career is something I’m actively working toward every day. I’m currently taking classes to continue advancing my knowledge in animal behavior, pet care, and training so I can provide the highest quality care possible for every pet I meet. I’m also in the beginning stages of building my own pet service business, The Elite Pet Loungeeee, which will eventually offer a wide range of mobile pet services including grooming, pet photography sessions, pet taxi services, training sessions, and more. What sets me apart is the amount of genuine love, patience, attention, and care I give to every animal as if they were my own. I understand that every pet has their own personality, routine, comfort level, and needs, and I take the time to build trust with them at their pace. Even anxious or shy pets tend to warm up to me quickly. I live an active lifestyle, so I love spending time walking, playing, exploring, and keeping high-energy pets engaged and happy. I also enjoy slower-paced companionship for senior pets or animals who simply prefer cuddles and comfort. Whether your pet needs playtime, structure, patience, transportation assistance, or extra attention, I’m here to help make them feel safe, loved, and comfortable while you’re away. Pet care fits naturally into my daily life because caring for animals is genuinely what I love doing. My schedule is flexible, which allows me to give pets the time, attention, consistency, and companionship they deserve throughout the day. I’m currently continuing my education in the pet care field while also working toward building my future business, The Elite Pet Loungeeee. Gaining hands-on experience with different breeds, personalities, behaviors, and routines is extremely important to me because I want to continue growing long-term in this career. I truly enjoy getting to know each pet individually — their quirks, habits, energy levels, favorite activities, and comfort routines. Whether it’s daily walks, drop-ins, overnight care, playtime, medication routines, or simply keeping them company, I make sure every pet receives attentive and reliable care. Creating a safe, loving, low-stress environment for pets is always my top priority. I understand how important it is to trust someone with your furry family members, and I treat every animal in my care with the same patience, protection, and affection I give my own pets. I’m a proud dog mom to my sweet girl, Coco Chanel, who has taught me so much about companionship, routine, emotional connection, and attentive care. Because of my experience with animals of different personalities and temperaments, I pay close attention to body language, comfort levels, triggers, and routines to help pets feel secure and relaxed. Whether caring for pets in my home or in a client’s home, I focus on maintaining consistency, cleanliness, supervision, exercise, enrichment, hydration, feeding schedules, and emotional comfort. I also have reliable transportation available for park visits, walks, vet appointments, grooming appointments, or unexpected situations if needed. I believe pets thrive when they feel understood, comfortable, and genuinely cared for — not just watched. My goal is always to provide a calm, trustworthy, and positive experience for both pets and their owners. Feel free to message me with any questions. I’d love to meet you and your furry family members!
