“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.”
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.
“Mollie is fantastic and I would recommend to anyone that she was absolutely perfect for my Chow Chow! Mollie, thank you so much and I will definitely use you next time!”
“Juyne is a great sitter, very dependable and my cats seem to love her visits. My cats have been showing signs of stress when we go away for the weekend and so far using Juyne they are doing a lot better.”
“I can't say enough good things about Melanie! She's been watching my rescue dog for over a year now - a dog that's terrified of everyone and everything, but warmed right up to Melanie. She takes such good care of her and provides excellent updates.”
About: I’ve taken care of dogs since I was 15. I love playing and taking care of all animals! I love dog sitting at my friends house! I am available 24/7 to take care of your babies! I stay with them or check on them whenever is needed! I am always available. I have a fenced in backyard and 5 dogs that can keep your dogs company. If your dog doesn’t do well with others, then I can easily keep mine away and separated!
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.
