“I needed a last minute sitter for a holiday weekend and Ashlyn was available and excited to help. She was so good with my senior dogs and all of their quirks. I would highly recommend her services.”
“Catherine is the best! She is so sweet and intentional, and my sweet Knox had the best time with her. She even offers crafts, homemade treats, and paw-decures!! 💅🏼 Will be booking again”


“Sara did a terrific job taking care of our dog and cat. She kept us updated on how they were doing and didn’t hesitate to ask questions if she needed information on how to provide the best care. Thank you, Sara.”

“Bernadette was fantastic! She saved us from a last minute cancellation from our regular dog sitter and did amazing. She stayed took great care of our big girl and left our house super clean. She kept us updated with text and photos. We will 100% be using Bernadette again in the future.”

About: I have been taking care of my friends and families animals since I was a child. I currently have a 7 year old male Shiba Inu that I’ve raised from 9 weeks old. He’s very friendly, and potty trained. He gets tons of love all the time, along with our male 5 year old Staffordshire Pitbull Terrier named Skipper. I will be more than happy to take care of and play with your animals/babies. I keep the dogs on a close leash to me when walking. I would prefer a harness if they are not leash trained, to avoid tugging or pulling. I always keep a couple plastic bags handy for picking up poop when needed. I graduated in 2022 with a bachelors degree in Biochemistry from the University of North Florida. I am currently a full time veterinary technician at Avondale Animal Hospital and I am more than happy to help out. I keep my dogs on a daily schedule so I understand the need for routine. Currently just moved to the area and learning my way around, I’d be happy to fit you in. I prefer visits at the client’s home to ensure safety of the pet and to make sure they are not stressed from a new place.
“Jessie did an excellent job of taking care of our house and our pup while we were out of town for the weekend. We received daily updates and photos and she was quick to respond to any messages. We will definitely use Jessie again if she is available!”

About: I can't remember a time in my life I did not have my own pets. I have taken care of my own pets all of my life and am a lifelong animal caregiver. I have experience as a foster mom for an animal rescue as well and I enjoyed taking care of so many different babies and helping them find their forever homes. I have always had both cat and dog companions and have advocated and helped friends and family with their pets as well. I currently have a senior dog, a senior cat, who have both been with me for over 13 years, three cats who are two years old and a leopard gecko! I would love to meet you and help with your pet care needs! I'm currently available part-time, on Monday- Friday from 9:00 am- 1:30 pm. I would be happy to work around your schedule as much as possible! I have a fenced in yard and pets of my own. I understand each pet has their own personality and needs tailored to them. I will be an active listener and always treat and care for your pets according to your wishes!
“Emma was AMAZING! One of our dogs has a hard time being away from us but he took right to Emma. He ate his food and was very relaxed when we came home. She also took lots of pictures and videos of our dogs while we were away!”

About: I have always loved animals and have taken care of one kind of animal or another for as long as I can remember. As a teen I volunteered at animal shelters, then as adult I became a foster for the Humane Society in Jacksonville Florida for years before moving to Birmingham last year. I miss having the opportunity to care for a variety of animals and getting to know them if only for a short while. I've taken care of very tiny newborns, sick, old, special needs and of course healthy animals. It would be my pleasure to welcome your fur babies with open arms into my home or yours. They will be treated like my own. If you are in the process of training, I will pick up where you left off with potty, leash training, etc. I can give baths and brushes if needed. I am a independent contractor and I make my own schedule. My work is very pet friendly so at the discretion of the parents, if they enjoy car rides, they can can either come with or I will stay home with them during their stay. I am very flexible. Whether my home or yours, I will follow your instructions / schedule down to the last detail. I always strive to provide a safe, loving, fun and learning environment that caters to your individual pet's needs.

About: I've taken care of dogs and cats since I was 13 years old. I have my own pup named Benji, he is a Springer Spaniel, and a cat named Maizy. I will go above and beyond to ensure your baby is well taken care of. I also love to take and send pictures!! I currently work part time and have availability for check ins Thursday-Sunday. Whether your dog or cat needs to be fed, a potty break, or a quick play date I am available. I also can stay for extended periods of time and am willing to stay for a couple hours in the home if necessary and if you are comfortable! In your home I will of course ensure your pet has their basic needs met, including food, water, and pottying. But I also would love to take your dog on a walk or play fetch outside! As for cats I would love to play with them with their toys and keep them entertained! I will never let a dog outside their home or yard without a leash and I will only work with dogs of a size I can safely manage.
“Alora did a great job housesitting for our two pups. She was available on short notice, and she even made time to come by for a meet and greet. One of our dogs has stranger danger, but she liked Alora immediately! Alora was communicative and sent lots of pictures. I was able to relax while traveling knowing my pups were in good hands. I definitely recommend booking with her!”

About: I recently graduated from University of Alabama at Birmingham with a degree in Biomedical Sciences, and I’ve always loved being around animals. I volunteer frequently at the Humane Society of Birmingham and have years of experience caring for pets through friends, family, and pet sitting for other college students. I’ve had pets since I was around 10 years old, so caring for animals has always been a huge part of my life. I’m also a cat parent myself, so I fully understand how important pets are to their families and how much trust goes into leaving them with someone else. I’m very responsible, dependable, and genuinely love animals. As the oldest of 3 siblings, I’ve always been someone people rely on, and I carry that into pet care too. I work different jobs like waitressing, babysitting, grocery delivery, and dental assisting based on my availability, so I’m used to balancing responsibilities and adapting quickly. I treat every pet the same way I’d want someone to treat my own pet: with patience, attention, love, and care. I know pets are family, and I take that seriously. As a pet parent myself, I know how important it is for all animals to feel comfortable, safe, and relaxed in their environment. I understand that every animal has a different personality, whether they’re playful, shy, cuddly, or independent. I’m patient with nervous pets and make sure to respect their routines and boundaries while still giving them attention and affection. I’m comfortable with litter box cleaning, multiple walks, feeding schedules, playtime, brushing, and making sure they feel cared for while their owner is away.
“Ari did an amazing job watching our home and our two dogs. Both dogs are temperamental and cannot be boarded and we had a lot of special requests for how to care for them and Ari was very accommodating and attentive to our pets. Would definitely recommend for in home dog sitting!!”


About: I’ve always loved animals and have years of hands-on experience caring for dogs of different sizes, breeds, and personalities, including my own 1 year old mini Goldendoodle. I’m patient, attentive, and reliable, and I understand how important it is to make pets feel safe, comfortable, and loved while their owners are away. I’m experienced with walks, feeding schedules, playtime, basic grooming, administering simple routines, and giving pets the attention they need to feel at ease. I’m especially good with energetic dogs, puppies who need consistency, and dogs who benefit from calm, gentle care. I treat every pet like they’re my own and always make sure they get plenty of love, exercise, and supervision. Pet care fits naturally into my weekly routine because I’m organized, active, and used to building my days around responsibilities. I’m great at sticking to schedules for walks, feedings, potty breaks, playtime, and check-ins. I enjoy being active, so regular walks and exercise are something I genuinely look forward to. I make sure every pet gets dependable care, attention, and consistency, and I’m committed to keeping owners updated so they feel confident while they’re away. Safety and trust are my top priorities with every pet. Whether I’m caring for pets in my home or in a client’s home, I always make sure the environment is clean, secure, and calm. I pay close attention to routines, feeding instructions, leash safety, and any special needs or behaviors so pets feel comfortable and stress-free. I never leave pets unsupervised in unsafe situations, and I always treat each home with respect. I know how important it is for pet parents to feel confident, so I focus on clear communication, reliability, and giving every pet patient, loving care.
“Although Kelli was not feeling well, she fulfilled her sitting duties for Koby. By all accounts, she didn’t miss a beat. Her dog and mine got along great. She updated us with pictures. I plan to use her again.”
