Sydney was so sweet to our dog! I booked her for a drop in visit so that he could be loved on and spend time with a person, walked, and mentally stimulated. Sydney did exactly that. So happy to have found her and can’t wait to call her again!

I've worked as a sitter, but never been a client before! April was wonderful with my cats, and was great at following my hectic instructions last minute for my trip.

We came back as a repeat client but with an additional pet and Alex was great yet again! We had a tornado scare while we were traveling and she went the extra mile to ensure our cats’ safety. We would use her again in a heartbeat!

About: I have taken care of many different animals growing up with my main focus being on dogs, cats, goats, and chickens! I currently have a senior cat and have previously taken care of ill/injured dogs. I have also worked at a vet! I’m currently working full time at 3 nights a week but am available all day and any night that aren’t those three. I attempt to travel often if I am not busy :) I have a fenced in yard, two hyper but friendly dogs and two cats who stay to their selves. I always keep a leash in my car rather it’s if I find a baby walking down the road of if I need to walk someone else’s baby!

About: I have had two cats since I was nine years old and have been walking my grandparents dog on weekends for about the same amount of time. I have a lot of experience with different kinds of dogs and cats because majority of my friends have pets! I have experience leash training puppies and luring out shy cats to eat their food. I am responsible and ready to give your pet affection and love! I’m free most of this summer before I go off to college to pet sit and walk dogs! Pretty much any hours and days work for me. In my clients home, I will of course respect their belongings and rules. I’ll be happy to crate their animal if needed and I will feed them the exact portion assigned at the correct time!

About: My family and I grew up with 3 dogs of our own. I also foster dogs from local shelters and have hands on experience with everything from playful puppies to sweet seniors. I understand how important it is to have someone you trust with your pet, and I’m here to help with calm, dependable care. I’m currently a student at the University of Alabama with a light class load, just about 2 hours a day. This gives me plenty of flexibility to dedicate time to pet care, whether it’s walks, dropins, or extended stays. Being from Birmingham, I’m familiar with the area and love spending time with pets when I’m not in class Whether I’m caring for pets in my home or yours, their safety and comfort always come first. I follow any routines or instructions you provide and take time to get to know each pet’s personality and needs. I keep a calm, clean environment and never leave pets unattended during visits. You can count on me to treat your pets like my own with patience, attention, and respect.

About: I have experience with administering medicine like insulin or salve. I have worked kennels for a veterinary clinic for two years. I was the main employee chosen because of my work ethic. I’m currently a full time student but I have time after my classes. I am also willing to wake up early to care for any pets. I am willing to do whatever your dog needs to have a great time. I have 3 dogs and 2 cats at home so I know what a pet needs.

About: I have had cats my entire life and currently have a dog and a cat. Experience caring for kitties with various medical needs, including eye drops, pills, wipes, diets and subcutaneous fluid administration. Experience volunteering in four different animal shelters with both dogs and cats, doing basic animal care as well as specializing in dog enrichment activities. I currently work full-time which is why my services are limited to dog walking and drop ins. I am able to drop in during my lunch break so long as your home is within Tuscaloosa or Northport and can make earlier morning and early to late evenings work. I am flexible on weekends. I will follow your instructions exactly and ask any necessary clarifying questions as soon as they come to me. I am happy to love on any pets who desire it but will always be conscious that I am a stranger to them. I'm very aware of animal body language signs and always try to respect pets the way I'd want mine to be treated.

About: Hi! I’m Raney Corcoran! I am from North East Texas and a freshman at the University of Alabama! I have a soft spot for furry friends as I personally have 4 of my own back home and a cat! Each dog ranges in different breeds and sizes so I have no limits! I understand that sometimes, as much as you love your furry friends, it’s hard to make time for both you and them. As someone with a mom that runs her own business, some days you just can’t do it all, and thats okay! This is where I can help! Walks, cuddle, fetch, you name it! I’d be happy to help! My class schedule is pretty flexible, which means I’m available for walks, drop ins, house sitting, and overnight stays! I plan to use my breaks between classes and weekends to spend time with furry friends! I treat every pet and home like my own with care, respect, and attention to detail. I follow routines, prioritize safety, and make sure your furry ones get lots of love while you’re away. You’ll always get updates for peace of mind!

About: College student with flexible hours. I’ve loved and cared for dogs my whole life, including growing up with an American Bully and a Boxer, and now my own French Bulldog at home. I'm curently at college and miss the joy of my dog. I understand that every dog has its own personality and needs, and I enjoy providing love, attention, and care to match. From walks and playtime to feeding and cuddles, I make sure every pup feels safe, happy, and well cared for. I’m comfortable with dogs of all breeds and energy levels, and I treat every dog like part of the family. I am a full-time student at the University of Alabama, but I have complete availability on Thursdays and weekends. I am also currently looking for a part-time position and would love the opportunity to care for your pets during these times. I treat every pet like part of my family. In a client’s home, I follow their instructions carefully, maintain the pet’s routine, and give them the same care, attention, and affection I would for my own dog. I also make sure to give updates so owners feel confident their pets are happy and well cared for.

Anna was very sweet and patient with our three animals. One dog was a bit hesitant the first day but Anna was incredibly patient and got the dog to love her. She stayed to play with the dogs even if it went over the 30 mins that we paid for. The pictures she sent were adorable and we will definitely use her for our next trip.
