“Tracy did an excellent job! He was very attentive and caring with my dog, provided regular updates to let me know how the visits went, and was very responsive whenever I needed to reach out. I will absolute book with him again”

About: I have experience with administering medicine like insulin or salve. I have worked kennels for a veterinary clinic for two years. I was the main employee chosen because of my work ethic. I’m currently a full time student but I have time after my classes. I am also willing to wake up early to care for any pets. I am willing to do whatever your dog needs to have a great time. I have 3 dogs and 2 cats at home so I know what a pet needs.
“I love how accommodating she was. She came and met Powder. I showed her the routine and she was kind to me. She sent pictures and I love that. She also was the most affordable person I found. 10/10 highly recommend”

About: I’ve been around animals my entire life and have always had a deep love for their care and well-being. I worked in a veterinary clinic for nearly two years, where I gained hands-on experience with animals of all ages—from playful puppies to sweet senior pets. I’m currently a veterinary student at Tuskegee University, so I bring both professional training and real-world experience to every pet I care for. I’m confident in administering medications, monitoring health needs, and making sure your furry family member feels safe, happy, and loved while you’re away. As a veterinary student, I’ve built a routine that’s structured yet flexible enough to include pet care. Most of my classes are in the mornings and early afternoons, with free time in the evenings and weekends. I also have long breaks between classes on certain days and a lighter schedule on Fridays. This allows me to provide attentive, consistent care—whether it’s walks, check-ins, or overnight stays. I’m reliable, responsive, and passionate about making sure your pet feels safe and loved while you’re away. When caring for pets in my home, safety and comfort come first. I have a securely fenced yard with cameras for supervised outdoor playtime, and pets get at least 30 minutes of exercise and enrichment outside at least 2-3 times each day. I share my home with two friendly pets, but visiting animals are never left unsupervised with them—I always monitor all interactions carefully. I also have a large crate available if a pet needs their own space or downtime. Whether I’m caring for pets in my home or at a client’s, I aim to provide a calm, structured, and loving environment where every animal feels safe and at ease.
“Kailyn was such a professional! We used her services while traveling to Auburn, AL. She took such good care of our guy and gave updates throughout. It was so nice to know that our little doggo was looked after while at the Iron Bowl and post game major traffic! A+”


About: I have taken care of any type of animal you could think of! dogs, cats, etc. I am a gentle kind loving person and think every animal should be shown the same kindness we want to receive ourselves!

About: I’ve taken care of dogs of every size, shape, and breed since I was roughly 8. What sets me apart from other sitters is that I’m very reasonably priced, and as a veterinary technician of 5+ years and a graduate of Jefferson State’s Veterinary Technology program, I have the specialized training for giving medications and what to do should an emergency arise! I am familiar with emergency medicine and have worked in an ER setting for almost a year. I’m currently taking a break from veterinary medicine to study for my state licensing exam to become a licensed veterinary technician! This has freed my schedule up to provide more care for pets! My weekends are considerably more free but I can provide morning or afternoon/evening drop ins! I have a large yard that is completely fenced! I crate my own pets when I am not home so I am happy to stop in and let your crated pets out for potty breaks! I adhere to feeding/bathroom/medication schedules to a T.
“Bri really listened and understood the needs of my social kitty. She went above and beyond to communicate with me after each visit, giving me peace of mind while I was away. My cat loved her and was happy when I got home! Thanks Bri!”

About: I am thrilled to spend time with as many furry and fluffy friends as possible. This summer I am going to be very active and engaged with a lot of outside activities. I have two adorable dogs and they enjoy running with my family. We have a fun dog park and a pet spa where all the cleaning and grooming magic happens. I often take my dogs around the city to bigger parks and we have a lot of toys for them. I have been taking care of pets since 2010. I took some time off, but now I'm available again for the summer. I am available mostly weekdays, but if I am really needed I can extend my availability to the weekends. Please let me know in advance.
“After my first meeting with Morgan, I was totally at ease with her taking care of Hank and Dolly Purrton! The daily check-ins and the pictures were amazing. I had to extend my trip to NYC because I was snowed in! Morgan did not hesitate to tell me she would continue to take care of my babies until I could return. Thank Heaven for amazing women like Morgan!”
“Greer was absolutely amazing!! Anyone's pets would be in the best hands with her! She followed instructions exceptionally well and went above and beyond what I asked/expected of her! Greer communicated well and helped me feel at ease away from my cats! She very quickly proved that safety and comfort were her upmost priorities! I feel very lucky to have had her and cannot say enough great things!!”
