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: 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.

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. ❤️

Kristen was very kind with me and Marley! She was punctual and took time and dedication to walk Marley because he was in training and I just had surgery. I will definitely use again and my furbaby was very comfortable with her.

About: I worked at a vet for two years and have had experience with boarding pets there, I’ve pet sat for many friends and family in their homes, and I worked with dogs on a daily basis at my former job as a dog bather. I have three dogs and a cat of my own and have many years of experience with cats since we owned several kitties back home. I’ve worked with dogs of all age, breed, and size so I am familiar with many different situations and quirks of the different breeds. My schedule is flexible! While I work full-time Monday through Friday, I’m available for morning, evening, and weekend care, and I can often adjust my schedule to meet your pet’s needs. Feel free to reach out, I’m happy to discuss what works best for you and your pet! I will spend as much time as needed with your fur babies and will make sure all of your requests and expectations are met! I am trustworthy and understand that your pets are part of your family so they will be taken care of like they were my own. I will make sure your pets have an enjoyable time while their parents are away!

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’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: Hi! My name is Aunya. Growing up I’ve always had pets and I’ve cared for other family members pets. I have been a caregiver for over two years now and I believe those responsibility traits will set me apart from others. From being dedicated to giving the best possible care, having patience and reliability, time management and organizational skills, to showing empathy and compassion. I have a rescue dog myself that I consider part of the family. I look forward to meeting and spoiling your Furbabies! I work three 12-hour night shifts each week, so my days and off-days are very flexible. I plan my bookings around my schedule to make sure each pet gets my full attention and care. While caring for pets in the client’s home I will stick to the owner's routine for feeding, walks and keep the dogs mentally and physically stimulated with playtime and affection. In addition to maintaining their routine, ensure the pets have access to fresh water at all times, also giving them plenty of attention and affection to help ease any anxiety they may feel while their owner is away.

About: I have taken care of dogs my whole life. Friends, family and neighbors. My dad was an animal trainer in the circus when he was younger and had dogs, monkeys and lions. He taught me how to care, love and train them. I feel as though animals listen to me very well and love me as much as I love them! I am currently working remotely so I can work from anywhere! I have a lot of free time and love to play and walk dogs. I will give them as much attention as they need/want. I love to walk so if they do that’s a plus. I love playing with them and being by their side.

About: What truly sets me apart is my commitment to communication. I provide regular updates, photos, and detailed notes after each visit or walk, so you always feel connected to your pet. My background also includes volunteer work at a local animal shelter, where I gained hands-on experience handling dogs with special needs and anxiety. You can count on me to treat your pet and home with the same respect and care I’d expect for my own. Reliability, compassion, and peace of mind—that’s what I bring to every visit. Pet care is an integral part of my daily and weekly routine. I prioritize creating a consistent and safe environment for every pet in my care, whether that means early morning walks, timely feedings, or engaging play sessions throughout the day. I incorporate time each day to monitor health, behavior, and comfort, ensuring pets feel secure and loved while their owners are away. On a weekly basis, I plan for special outings, grooming (if needed), and ongoing communication with pet owners to provide updates and maintain trust. Caring for animals is more than a job—it’s a responsibility I take seriously, and I structure my schedule to reflect that commitment. I have a fenced in privacy fence back yard! As well as a temperature controlled garage if needed to separate! I have an extra crate if needed as well!
