“This was our first time with Mollie and we absolutely loved her! She did a phenomenal job caring for our inside fur herd of 7 cats and even managed to find our newest stray baby outside which made my hubby so happy. We love that we have found the perfect person to trust our babies with and we look forward to leaving them with her every time now. She’s the best”



“Katie was amazing! She visited three times a day, walked my dog each time, made sure she was well-fed, and even administered her medication perfectly. I came home to a happy, healthy pup and couldn’t be more grateful. Katie is reliable, caring, and clearly loves what she does. Highly recommend and will definitely rebook her again!”

“INCREDIBLE PET SITTER! I've lived in multiple states and she's the best I've had by far. She went above and beyond to take care of my floof! I'm so grateful. Just the best!”


About: From raising puppies and kittens, to keeping chinchillas and sugar gliders, I have been around all sorts of animals for most of my life. Some required medications and others wanted to be left alone. I'm not shy or timid around any types of pets and I would love to meet yours! I am self employed as a gig worker in the music industry, so I am available anytime while not on the road. My only obligation is making it to the gym most days so other than that, I can be full time focused on your home/pets! Would love to help you keep your pets in their routine, in their home and the environment they're most familiar with. I am able to stop by whenever you need me, crash on your couch while you're away, or even stay in my campervan in your driveway! I'm reliable, trustworthy, and aim to provide you with peace of mind.

About: Hello neighbors and strangers, my name is Devin; but, you can call me Devo! I love animals, especially the kind, soft-furred, emotionally supporting ones. You can trust that I will not mistreat any animal in my care and protect them with my life. I live in the SW side of Decatur, AL. We have a decent fenced in back yard where your pets can run, jump, and have all the exploring adventure that they desire. I am currently not a pet owner but my roommate has a small dog. He's kind to children and if he meets another dog properly . Thinks he's bigger than he is. I have experience caring for cats, and lizards as well. I have worked with many animals and am comfortable grooming, walking, feeding, playing with and caring for pets. Working for myself currently so I have a pretty flexible schedule. Please feel free to contact me to discuss my services. It is fenced in back yard where the pets can run around and play. Clean house ... Really don't allow dogs on the furniture or in my personal room . I can play with your pet and give the necessary attention. I am available for whatever your needs are, rather it be short term or long term, cold or hot I am the man with the plan to care for your dog. Well I live in a nice, beautiful, quiet neighborhood where its normal to see a bunch of pet owners, so Rover fits right in. I work for myself and am a on call handyman and lawn service provider. I'm usually close to house all day with frequent check ins. Within a every 4 hour period. I am easy going with animals. I may have to hug an pet to show support, may have to conversate with them, play tag, tug of war.

“Lauren did an awesome job taking care of our 6 fur babies! She asked questions, communicated and took pictures of every pet at each visit! She cleaned up any potty accidents, clean litter boxes and even brought in our trash can without being asked! We would definitely recommend her! We will be using her again!!!”


About: I have owned pets all my life! I grew up on a working farm with cows, pigs, horses, dogs and cats. I pet sit for neighbors and friends all the time. I am a home based baker of wedding cakes and specialty desserts along with pet treats. I have a good bit of available time between projects. I have a fenced in yard with a pet door. My animals are allowed to go out as often as needed. I am at home the majority of the day and evenings.

About: I’m deeply empathetic, detail-oriented, and have years of experience in caregiving—which makes me especially attuned to the needs of pets who need a little extra love, patience, or routine. I’m not just a sitter or a walker; I care for your pets like they’re part of my family. I have a soft spot for senior dogs and anxious pups, and I genuinely love creating a calm, comforting environment that helps them feel safe and happy while you’re away. Pet care fits naturally into my routine because I have a flexible schedule and enjoy spending time with animals as part of my day. Whether it’s a midday walk, a morning or evening drop-in, or helping out while you're at work or away, I’m reliable, attentive, and happy to show up when your pet needs care and company. It’s a meaningful way for me to stay active and connect with animals—something I genuinely enjoy. I treat every client’s home with the same respect I would want for my own. I follow all instructions carefully, stick to your pet’s routine, and double-check that doors, gates, and crates are secure before I leave. I’m very mindful of creating a calm, safe environment—especially for pets who are shy, anxious, or need a little extra reassurance. Building trust is important to me, so I always communicate clearly, provide updates, and do my best to make sure both you and your pet feel comfortable while you’re apart.

kattie y.
“I have a Great Dane and a Great Dane mix that Kattie used to care for while I was away for work or business trips. Although they were bigger dogs, Kattie did great with them! She gave them around the clock care when needed and never once "forgot" or "accidentally" missed an appointment to be at the house to get them/care for them. I would recommend her to any and everyone! She has a caring soul for animals and has a very positive upbeat attitude which is hard to find these days.”

Cameron R.
“Cam had watched every animal l’ve ever known! He’s never met an animal he hasn’t absolutely loved, and hasn’t loved him. He was always there to take care of and love up on my senior pitbull but she passed. If he sees dogs or cats or anything for that matter while he’s out he instantly turns his attention to them. It’s actually adorable. I’d trust Cam with any of my animals!”

“Allison was amazing with my dog. She treated him just like he was her own. I will definitely be using her again.”


Devin H.

“Devin gets a 5/5. Not only did he provide TLC to my dogs while I was away, He also bathed them when they got messy in mud going potty in his backyard. sent pics before and after to reassure me that they were okay during this tornado weather. His tornado shelter is a plus. Since this was my first time away from my animals in over a year, I was nervous. But he was able to keep in touch with me on the status of them and send a daily picture or two of the dogs. Thanks again!”


Stephen N.

“Stephen was awesome. Took care of our cat while we were gone for a week. Kept us updated with pictures. Highly recommended and would use him in the future again!”

Christy R.
“Christy has always had the biggest heart for any animal! She grew up on a farm where she first learned all about the responsibility of caring for animals! She has had many dogs and a couple of cats in her life time that she has been a more than excellent mama to! Christy had also always taken care of her neighbors pets and my two cats when I am out of town! She would be a great fit caring for your fur babies!”


April J.
“April is one of the most passionate dog lovers I have ever met. When she sees a dog she wants to love it. She treats all dogs as if they were her own personal fur babies. She has even brought me into the world of loving dogs. If you don’t love a dog then you don’t know how much it can change your life until it does. She brought that into my life and I will forever be grateful for that. I would trust no one else but her with my dog.”


Hannah C.

“She was wonderful! Our pack was happy and healthy when we got back. Got plenty of photos and updates, and she was always on time. Quick initial response was awesome, too.”
