About: I am a CMA, and have worked in 4 vets offices over the years. I can give medication (oral, topicals or shots). I have been a groomer for 9ish years (traveling to homes and in grooming shops). I also come packing a huge heart ready to love whatever babies you have. I have cared for them all and really to care for yours!💜 I recently had surgery in March but have been cleared for work. I am a mobile groomer for myself so my schedule is very flexible. Working with vets/in hospitals, I have learned the best way to keep your animals safe and happy is to stay in their own home. Cars and new environments can cause a lot of stress or anxiety. Drop in visits and house sitting keeps your pet in a safe and comfortable place without the exposure to others or their pets.
“Melanie was absolutely lovely to work with - very sweet with my highly anxious rescue dog, taking the time to make friends with her. Melanie also sent lots of photos and even went above and beyond by doing little extras around the house. I was worried about having a new person look after my dog but after meeting Melanie, I felt so much better about it. I travel a lot for work and am already rebooking her again!”

“Kristen was very flexible in discussions concerning care options and dates, and provided updates from the visits. I will definitely be using her services again for my precious pups.”

“I could not have asked for better care for my cat while I was gone. Juyne took great care of him and communicated so well that I never had to wonder about the big fluffball. Thank you so much to you both, Juyne!”

About: I love others pets like I love my own. I’ve had my own dog since I was 17 and took care of her in any way needed. I’m knowledgeable on a lot of things dealing with dogs as well as cats. I would sit with my friends cat when she would be gone to make sure she didn’t get into anything she wasn’t supposed to. I trained both of my dogs myself to sit, shake, and listen to basic commands. I currently am not employed. So I have all the time to take care of your pets throughout the week (Monday-Friday). Early mornings for when you need to drop off before work/ school and late evenings to give you some time to get home and ready for your fur baby! I have a fenced in back yard where my dog stays. So if you would like your dog to have some doggie playtime she would enjoy that! If not that is completely fine and if you have a crate that you would like your pet to stay in I will use that! Whatever works for you!
About: I've always had a cat. I've helped care for kitties through every life stage, and would take family and friends dog-walking or sitting gigs whenever I could. Building a rapport with an animal and earning their trust is something I take great pride in! I'm currently working afternoon shifts at a restaurant, typically anywhere from 12pm - 8pm. While my schedule varies, I can spend plenty of quality time with them and come and go straight from work to make sure they get as much attention as possible. Please reach out to let me know your situation - I'd love to work something out! My flexible schedule means house-sitting is totally up my alley! I'm happy to spend as much one-on-one time as needed, with lots of outdoor playtime/walks and an attentive presence inside to make sure they have everything they need. Anything you are / are not comfortable with I am happy to accommodate.
“We were very impressed with Tonya. She had great communication and sent pics of our babies we missed. We had a sitter drop out and we're very happy to find someone that made us feel very comfortable our babies were in good care. : )”

About: I have always had pets growing up and my love for them has grown into my adulthood even more. I have a passion for learning and understanding all different types of animals. My experience in Pet Care is from owning my own pets and caring for family, friends and volunteering over the years. My husband works nights and I work days so there is always someone home to make sure your fur baby is taken care of and loved on! Our residence features ample space in the garage, and a spacious fenced-in backyard. As pet owners ourselves, with two golden doodles and a cat, we understand the stress associated with leaving them behind. Consequently, we would provide a nurturing environment, treating boarded pets like our own, with generous playtime outside of their kennels and the attention and affection they are accustomed to receiving at home. ❤️
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.
About: Since I was a child, I've been raising and taking care of animals of all shapes and sizes. I've nursed plenty of bottle babies- kittens, puppies and even rodents and farm animals. I've worked at the Chattanooga Zoo and volunteered at shelters across the country, so there's nothing you can throw at me that I haven't seen before! I currently work full-time 5 days a week, 8-10 hour shifts, so I have to schedule around that. The rest of my day will be dedicated to your pet(s)! I love matching a pet's energy and I'm happy hanging out on the couch or running circles in the yard- whatever the situation calls for!
About: Have been a pet owner all of my life, and experience with all types of animals. I just recently moved to the Huntsville area and have a fenced in backyard on 10 acres of land, toys and a dog of my own who loves playtime and friends. I will have an open schedule and will be home full-time. My schedule will be very flexible, I am looking for one time sitter needs or ongoing scheduled needs. I have a large house with plenty of space for indoor relaxing, and a fenced backyard for exercise & playtime. I have one medium sized dog (Labrador Retriever mix) who is very friendly, both to people and dogs.
About: Hey y’all! I was raised on a farm responsible for taking care of all animals shapes and sizes since I was young.

I pay attention to details and very communicative. Can and will send pictures and updates of your pet(s) Making sure they get a lot of love an attention and earning trust.

About: I have had a German Shepard growing up. I had the responsibility of feeding, walking, grooming and teaching him basic tricks and commands. My sister has a corgi who I have cared for, and loved for many years now. We love to go on walks together and play fetch. I follow directions very well and dogs really do love me. I have experience with new born puppies and dogs less then one year. I know about puppy tendencies and handle them well. I am comfortable around big dogs, small dogs, three legged dogs, all the pups are my favorites. I am free all days Tuesday and Wednesday, and Mondays evenings. I am visiting the area for the entire month with family and would love to spend some time with some lovely pets!! And make some money 😉 I cannot take care of pets in my own home, but would feel comfortable being in their usually space with them, hopefully having stuff to play with them with!
About: I am a 30 year old female who loves all animals. I have grown up with animals all my life and have owned many of my own pets. I very much like spending time walking around or just sitting and gaming and cuddling with my pets. I am able to train puppies as i have owned a 3 time grand champion vizsla, though I am no professional I was just taught so i could show my dog. I enjoy spending time in the woods and or in the ocean just being about in the beauty of nature. I hope and pray to be able to meet your little or big angel because that is what a pet is an ANGEL and a beloved family member. please enjoy your day! it is my life. i do this for my job, but i do love all animals so i am more than happy to do this. im very patient and willing to just let them get to know me. i follow things to a tee that way your pet gets the care it needs
About: I have been the designated dog and cat sitter in my family since I was 13 years old and have loved it! I’ve always had a deep love for animals and will be going to Auburn for their College of Veterinary Medicine in the Fall of this year. I currently work as a veterinary technician and have four years of experience. If any of your pets have needs such as medicating, or any special behavioral instructions I should be able to handle them. Pet sitting and dog walking would be a great way for me to earn a couple extra dollars a month, and be able to help out the animals who need walks throughout the day and daily care when their owners are away. I’m working part time at my current job and a full time student. I’m completely free during the weekends to do daily walks and play dates, but during the week I’m limited to morning check ins and evening only play time. With my own dog at home I crate him while there is no one home due his tendency to get into things he shouldn’t. If you prefer your dog to be crated while no one is home I’m perfectly okay with doing so as long as I’m allowed to take off any collars they may have on to prevent snagging while away. I also like to provide a bowl of water with the dog inside of the crate to allow them to hydrate while I’m away. If you would prefer your dog to not be crated then I’m okay with that as well.
