I’m so thankful we found Robin to keep our puppy and cats while we were away! I’m always so nervous leaving them but the frequent picture updates really gave me peace of mind to be able to enjoy my vacation. It was so nice to come home and everything already be taken care of. I could tell all our babies were happy and had all been well cared for. She has our full recommendation!

Kiri watched out 2 dogs over the weekend and our German Shepherd and Beagle both were happy and not stressed at all when we got home. We attribute this to how well Kiri treats them. We will be asking Kiri back 100%. She is great!

About: With over a decade of experience in animal husbandry, I care for pets of all ages and species. I’ve provided reliable pet sitting through college and now as a biology professor, handling everything from daily routines to medications and special needs. My goal is to keep your pets comfortable, happy, and cared for just as if you were home. Flexible for mornings, nights, and extended stays. I teach from morning to midday on weekdays. I usually wake up early to spend time with client’s pets or my own and have plenty of time to work in enrichment time and meals in the evening. It’s very important to me to provide a sense of normalcy to your pet. I may start out as a stranger but your pet and I will soon become best buds. I keep a strict schedule for check ins and they very quickly pick up that I’m keeping with the program and this eliminates a lot of their stress. I prefer to stay in your home and stick to your walk schedule (unless you’d like a field trip to a walking trail) so that the only change they have to deal with is missing you!

Ciara was excellent with our dogs. She was easy to communicate with and the dogs seemed to get along well with her. She sent several photos while watching them. We don’t usually travel without our dogs, but we would definitely rebook with Ciara if we were not able to take them with us.

About: I have lived in Alabama my entire life and have the biggest heart for animals, especially dogs! I love teaching an old dog new tricks and also loving on any size animals! I have experienced being around and taking care of all kinds of dog breeds! I’m working part time for children’s music classes, So I will have plenty of down time to play and take care of your furry friends! I care for pets by knowing exactly what the owners need or want from me for their special furry friend! I always want to make sure that the dog is comfortable with me and his/her surroundings! Whether we are indoors or outdoors! I try to always be mindful and weary if my dog or someone else’s dog is starting to feel sick or if there is anything suspicious in their waste matter or throw up as well!

Garrison was amazing! Our dog got hurt before we left and he was so caring and patient with her. He played so much with our cat that I think he will find us boring now that we’re home. He kept the house so clean and updated us so much. I will definitely use him in the future and so should YOU!

About: I’ve been caring for dogs and cats since I was 10 years old. Growing up with pets taught me how to handle all kinds of breeds, personalities, and needs from feeding and walking to bath time and snuggles. Friends, neighbors, and family have always trusted me to love on their fur babies like they were my own. Whether it’s playful pups or older pets who need extra patience, I show up with love, reliability, and experience. I work full-time, but I’m still available for evening walks, drop ins, and weekend care. My schedule stays consistent, and I always make time to give your pet the attention and care they need. Whether it’s playtime after work or overnight boarding on weekends, I’ve got you cover I don’t have a fenced yard, but I live near a big open field and have a dog park right in my complex plenty of space for safe outdoor play. I’m mindful, attentive, and follow your pet’s routine closely. Your dog’s safety, comfort, and happiness always come first.

About: I have had multiple dogs for decades. Dogs just seem to love me. I guess it's because they can tell I love them so much. I'm really good at taking care of things for your dog. I love walking them and playing. I don't even mind picking up the poop. I'm currently working part-time as a house cleaner. So I have flexibility in my schedule to take care of fur babies. Evenings and weekends are almost always open. I treat all dogs with kindness and respect. I would want others to take care of my babies that way. I always double check the food and water. If there are extra things needed, I make sure to get those done as well.

I always have the spare time throughout my off days and will be able to take good care of your fur babies at all times. I have a huge yard with one fur baby that could keep yours company. My fur baby is friendly and would love to have a play date. I also can easily crate your animal if i ever needed to do so.

About: I understand how much pets mean to their owners, and I treat every animal with the same care and attention I'd want for my own. I'm patient, reliable, and mindful of each pet's unique needs, making sure they always feel safe and comfortable while you're away!! I'm currently in school Wednesday through Friday, but I'm available for pet care from Friday night through Tuesday night. This gives me plenty of time to provide attentive care for your pets while you're gone. When caring for pets, I follow their usual routine to keep them comfortable and stress-free. I make sure they're fed on schedule, have fresh water, and get plenty of exercise and attention. I keep the home clean, respect house rules, and provide updates so owners can feel at ease.

Hannah did an amazing job looking after my farm while I was away. The house was spotless and the pups were so happy when I got home. She kept everything on the property in great shape and even checked on the Highland cows, giving them some extra treats and affection. The dogs were well fed, had plenty of water, and were totally relaxed when I returned. Usually there’s a bit of pouting after I’ve been gone, but it was clear Hannah gave everyone lots of love and attention. I’d absolutely recommend her to anyone looking for a reliable, caring sitter!

Jeremy was great with Fitzgerald! He gave updates, sent pictures and was so friendly during our meet and greet. He walked him, hung out with him, and played with him. I’d definitely book again and trust him with any pup!
