1. Brittney T.

“Brittney is fantastic with pets! She has 7 cats that are ridicoulsy spoiled. Her pup, Pumpkin is very well behaved and protective of her. Whenever I need to know ANYTHING about pet care or veterinary medicine I talk to her. She can tell you just about anything you need to know about cats and their behavior. Her face always lights up when she talks about animals plus she's an all around great person to be around. ”

3. Allison B.
About: Hi! My name is Allison and I’m 23. I have previously worked professionally with dogs in a doggy daycare setting for almost 2 years and many customers trusted me with their fur babies when they were out of town as well. I have a pup of my own who is 3 years old now and completely hard headed and always makes things complicated, so it’s safe to say I know how to handle stubborn animals. I have no issues on breeds or size of animal as they all have love to give. Currently I am at home full-time so anytime during the day is available for others’ animal care needs. Weekends and evenings are dependent on scheduling. I have professional experience not only exercising and wearing dogs out, but also ensuring their safety and kenneling dogs when necessary. I am also able to cater to different dogs needs in regards to energy levels and their trust levels.

“Hailey was awesome! She is great with all animals and had no problem walking my big dogs that can sometimes be a handful. I am so grateful to have her caring for my animals, and it gives me great peace of mind knowing that she will be there. I would definitely recommend her if you are looking for someone that you can rely on to care for your fur babies.”

About: Animals have been a part of my heart and home for as long as I can remember! I cherish every moment spent caring for, playing with, and connecting with pets of all kinds—whether they have fur, scales, feathers, or even tiny legs! From dogs and cats to snakes and lizards (yes, even bugs!), I believe every creature deserves love, respect, and the absolute best care. I’m the proud mom of two senior dachshunds, Buddy (15) and Casey (13), who have been my world since birth. I understand the deep bond we share with our pets, and I care for every animal as if they were my own. Whether it’s feeding, walking, administering medication, or simply giving them belly rubs and playtime, I ensure each pet gets the attention, love, and care they need. I also specialize in accommodating special requests and needs—so whether your pet requires extra patience, specific routines, or special care, I’m here to help. A Little About Me: I work full-time in healthcare, but my passion for animals keeps me available before and after work, as well as on weekends. I’m happy to make special arrangements to fit your schedule! Tailored In-Home Care for Your Furry (or Scaly) Friends I come to you, providing care in the comfort of your pet’s familiar surroundings, following your exact instructions and preferences. Your peace of mind is my priority! Let’s chat about how I can help care for your beloved pets—because they deserve nothing but the best! I work full time in health care - I am available before work and after as well as weekends.

About: I have been dog and house sitting for 10years now and I absolutely love it!!! I grew up with dogs primarily big dogs like English Mastiffs and German Shepards, but my mom also bred English and French bulldogs as well! I also lived on a farm while travel nursing for a year and a half so I also have experience with horses and chickens! At this point in my personal life I am a single mother to my amazing daughter so pet sitting has actually been my full time income for the last year but I do bring her along and she absolutely LOVES animals and thinks they are so funny! I am available ANYTIME and I will take care of and spoil your fur baby’s like crazy! My schedule is very flexible as pet sitting is my full time income at the moment. You need me? Contact me and I will make it work around your needs. I do a lot of last minute request as well! Your fur babies are safe with me as I love and treat them as my own! I make sure my house, clients homes, walks, park outings etc are done in safe areas around town.


9. Brenli T.
“Brenli is amazing with animals! She always makes sure the animal she’s caring for comes first. The dogs she’s taken care of in the past, including mine always love having her as a pet sitter. She loves on my baby like she is her own! I cannot think of anyone better.”


10. Avery C.
About: I worked in a Doggy Daycare and Boarding facility in my home town for the last two years, through which I gained experience in both basic animal care and handling and administering medicine, and basic medical emergencies such as seizures, heat-related illness, and bloat. Before that job, I spent several years pet-sitting for a family friend, who had 2 dogs, 3 cats, and 2 rats. I can certainly provide references for both. I also have my own dog right now, a 2 year old (very high energy) pit mix named Miller. I’m currently a student at Troy University but my classes are all in the morning. I also work part time at a restaurant but can work around that easily. I don’t work every day at the restaurant though, I have every Sunday completely free and have 1-2 weeknights off as well. While I can’t provide care in my own home due to my lease, I will provide lots of play time, love, and affection for your fur baby at your home, as well as feeding, walks, etc. I can adjust to whatever energy level your pet has- if they want to run laps around the yard, then run we shall.
