“Thank you for taking care of of our boys!”

Callista D.

About: I have worked in animal care for close to four years now. I worked in an animal shelter for two years and I am now on my second year of working at a vet clinic. I have worked with all sorts of animals with all different types of needs! I am currently quite flexible. Only days that are weird for me are Tuesdays, Wednesdays, and Thursday mornings. I also fully get that certain meds are needed at certain times! I will completely respect your home and take the best of care of your fur baby! Any information and instructions I’m sent will be followed to a tee!

About: I worked 3 years in the kennel business and 1 as a manager. I have had a love for dogs and cats ever since I was young and love caring for all types of breeds regardless of age, size, or anything else! Right now I am in between jobs, so my availability varies. But with some notice, I should be able to accommodate your schedule! Whether that be drop ins or stays. I will mostly provide services at the clients house since I have 2 pups of my own! I am more than willing to follow instructions and comply with any safety measures that need to be taken!

About: I’ve owned any animal and am very passionate about what I do I work at an animal shelter no dog is to big or to small. Im usually off at 5 pm on weekdays but currently on leave for a short while so my schedule is pretty open for about a month. I will not be able to sit in my own home due to my animals not being aclimated towards other fur babies but I am happy to come and sit

“She does absolutely amazing with my super hyper nutjob of a lab and the communication is amazing”

About: I've grown up with dogs and have taken care of them since I was in high school. I'm currently a graduate student studying Clinical Psychology at UA and have open availability to dog sit or walk/care for your fur baby! I do have a small (16lb.) King Charles Cavalier in my home. She is sweet and gets along well with other dogs! I have open availability, as I'm a graduate student at the University of Alabama ! I only have research tasks to complete so my schedule is wide open. I live in a spacious, 2-bedroom, 2-bathroom apartment that has a deck. The local dog park in Tuscaloosa is approximately five minutes away as well!

About: I’ve taken care of pets my whole life, have had dogs since I was a baby. And have consistently pet sat for neighbors and friends. I’ve also volunteered at vet clinics. Right now I’m back on campus as a college student. And I’m looking for some work! I don’t have many other commitments besides school and am very flexible with pet care! Since I live in a dorm, all care is provided in the client’s home so pets can stay comfortable in their own environment. I follow your pet’s normal routine for feeding, walks, and playtime, and always prioritize safety, cleanliness, and respect for your home. I’m also happy to send updates and photos while you’re away!

About: I’ve been around many dogs since I was little. Even viscous ones. But no type of dog scares me. Having a cane corso for about 4-5 years got me to be aware of any type of pets. Being around cats dosent worry me. Just as long as I pay attention to signs on what to and not to do. I work full time with kids and I love pet sitting for one of my friends. But usually after work I love to be around lovely pets. I will walk your dog personally. To be honest, letting a dog out in a yard doesn’t seem like they have much freedom. Taking them on an adventure is the way to do it so they have options. Treat them the way you would want to be treated is my motto.

About: I have a cat named Fiona who I have had for 5 years now and she is the definition of spoiled. I also grew up helping take care of two dogs back home. Caring for animals is a natural instinct for me because I think it is important to help those who can’t help themselves. Pets provide undeniable loyalty and companionship and it’s only right to return the favor to our furry friends. 💛 I am looking to spend time caring for pets in my free time, which I can dedicate around 30 hours to a week. I have a lot of downtime that I would love spending checking on and walking pups! I can easily board any type of smaller animal at my house, excluding cats and dogs. I live in a pet-friendly house that I share with my cat, Fiona. That being said Fiona is old so I do not want to overwhelm her with other cats or dogs at my house, unfortunately.

About: Hi! I'm Jenna. The "Me every time I see a dog. Do you share this reaction?" meme with Andy from Parks & Recreation is literally me every time I see a dog. I LOVE dogs, cats, sloths, sea otters and pretty much all animals in general. I have a huge heart and SO much love to give! I am very energetic, bubbly, and outgoing...I would love to meet some doggies (and maybe some humans in the process too) and give them some lovins' and exercise :) I work part time and my schedule is pretty flexible. I would love to walk your pups or play with them outside of my job. I am available for house sitting dogs and cats. I’m generally available in mornings or afternoons around 4 pm. Since I do work a variety of jobs I just need a days notice but I can usually work around your schedule for the most part! I have experience pet sitting in the home and have done jobs where pet parents are out of town for the weekends or for work trips and I am happy to watch the house as well. I have a kitty cat so I wouldn’t be able to fully board but I’m able to take your doggo on walks, to the park, to a patio, etc etc. I can watch the dog at my house in the backyard but wouldn’t be able to take them inside the home.

About: Hi! My name is Amanda. I have worked in doggie daycare, worked as a bather and in the sales department! At work I got to experience different breeds, temperaments and personalities! My favorite part of my job is building strong relationships with the owners and their dogs! I also have experience dropping in homes while their owners are at work, school or out of town. When I do drop ins I have taken them on walks, picked up after them and fed them. I absolutely love working with all animals! I am known to have great communication skills, I am compassionate , and I am responsible. I pride myself in those traits and look forward to building a relationship with you and your family member! I do have a full time job working with adults with intellectual disabilities. Mon-Fri I do work from 730am-4pm. I am still available during the weekends and can also do house sitting during the days that I work! I will follow their daily routine and make them as comfortable as possible while you are away. While walking them I will keep distance from other animals to ensure their safety. I will also follow all dietary needs and feeding schedules.

About: Sierra has over 20 years of pet care experience between having a range of personal animals and then going into an animal career. Sierra worked as a kennel and vet assistant for a shelter for 3 years before grooming for 9 years. She still is grooming from home. Sierra is experienced in animal CPR and first aid. Very experienced with administering medications and working with nursing animals up to senior special needs animals. Sierra has had chinchillas, rabbits, birds, bearded dragons, snakes but of course dogs and cats as well. Lucas is an avid animal lover. His animal experience comes from his own personal animals as well as he has been pet sitting for a few years. He is very active and works their energy out through long walks, hiking, and playing with toys. Lucas has had bearded dragons, snakes, dogs and cats as personal animals and loved every second of it! We believe having someone do it from Rover provides a more personalized quality of care. They recieve a lot more attention and affection through private sitters than they do in large facilities. We work together so that we can accommodate everyone's wishes. We have super high expectations of care for our animals and we like to give those same standards to those we do pet care for. We are an all around animal fanatic. We love them all furry, fuzzy, hairy, feathery, and scaley. We believe when Pet parents are on vacation their pets should be too. We fully believe in spoiling and going above and beyond. We love taking dogs to the dog park and walking in all different parts of town. We have a cat room set up in our house with tons of toys and furniture to fully satisfy their needs. We believe in animals having a lot of love and affection, especially when they are already experiencing distance from their favorite people. Animals are not only something we are very passionate about but what we have revolved our lives around. Lucas is home all day and would be available to do 24 hour care. Sierra grooms Monday through Friday 8am until 12pm-1pm. If your pet care ends on the weekend and you want your pet to be groomed, arrangements can be made. I keep all dogs leashed when outside to guarantee their safety. I recently got a fenced in dog run that I monitor dogs in so they can be off leash. I never leave pets unattended. I can kennel dogs to keep separate if needed. I am also trained in animal first aid.

About: Hi I very caring, calm & pet smart – 7 years of experience with dogs, cats, puppies & seniors. Reliable, playful, and always on time. I’m available any day and time, except when I’m on vacation. I’m flexible and happy to stay overnight or adjust to whatever your pet needs! I do create a calm, safe space and follow all pet routines closely—whether at my home or yours. Pets are loved, watched, and always comfortable.

About: *NOW OFFERING DISCOUNTED RATES!* *I am currently on hiatus from house sitting! I will offer that service again soon!* After a brief break due to adjusting to a new, full-time job, I’m back to doing what I love: caring for your furry family members! With 50+ 5-star reviews and years of experience, I’m here to offer dependable, loving care again. I've had pets of my own my entire life and have cared for pets of friends, family, and neighbors for years! I love being around animals and have 3 babies of my own. I'll love your best friend as much as I love my own! I am reliable, punctual, and energetic and always willing to do what I can to help out! I have an anxious, aggressive, and arthritic Chihuahua of my own, so I have experience with more "neurotic" pets as well as experience with medication. One of my cats is 13 years old, so I also have experience with senior care (as well as cat medication, too!). I also recently adopted a guinea pig and am getting a second one very soon, so have experience with “exotic” animals as well! I just moved to the Galesburg area and am currently unemployed, so have wide availability to care for your pets! If I am house sitting, I can typically spend overnight and the majority of the day there! *Note: I am currently on hiatus from house sitting services! I currently do not offer house sitting/boarding in my own home, as my 3 pets aren't comfortable with new animals in their environment. Eventually, I hope to be able to set up a system where I can provide that service! I do have a playpen and door fences that I use for my own dog, so could potentially provide temporary boarding if the circumstance is right! When I come into a home for sitting, I am always acknowledging that I am not only in another person's space but the pet's space as well. I do everything I can to be respectful and aware of boundaries. Following routines to keep the pet comfortable is essential in building the bond!

About: Grew up with all kinds of animals. Tons of experience babysitting animals for family, friends, and neighbors. Open to care for any pet any size/age! I’m currently working part time over night so I’m usually always available and have always had a passion working with all types of animals any age/size! I provide a safe space for your pet in a pet free and smoke free home. With years of experience there hasn’t been an animal I couldn’t handle!
