April was great to work with. She reassured us that our cat would be well taken care of while we were out of town, and she sent photos and videos during each visit, which gave us a lot of peace of mind. We would absolutely trust her to pet sit again anytime.

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: I have owned pets my entire life and have had the privilege of walking beside them through their entire time on this earth. Throughout my years, I have raised several cats from birth to adulthood, puppy trained, and have learned how to give medication to assist in the aging process. I am on summer break from my doctoral program so I have a lot of flexibility. I will be teaching on class this summer but it is just 2hours a day. I am very detail oriented. So when I am in a clients home I often spend some time checking in on their fur children to make sure they are set on behavior/emotional needs as well as their basics. I want to make sure that they are not stressed, getting the proper attention and that I am being attentive to catch potential problems as early as possible. I make sure to leave the place in better shape than I found it. My own cat is spoiled with enrichment and love. I strive to make sure your pets see me as an auntie rather than a random soul who checks in.

About: With 13 years of dog care experience and 5 years on Rover, I know a thing or two about keeping dogs happy. Working remotely gives me the flexibility to be there for your fur baby all week long. If you've got specific questions or special requests, feel free to reach out. During the weekdays, I can offer plenty of attention, play sessions, and walks to keep your pet active and engaged. I love having dogs around to go on a walk during my breaks! I’ve built a strong reputation over the years for being reliable and responsible. You can count on me to create a safe environment and send a lot of photos and be fast at communicating if you want to check in.

I have experience taking care of seniors, special needs pets, puppies, and kittens. Animals are everything to me and would love to make your pets feel comfortable if you need to be away for any given time! I currently have a dog and cat whom I both adore dearly. Feel free to contact me if interested in my services! I look forward to hearing from you I work part time, mostly at nights, so my availability is very open! I can do weekend mornings and all day during weekdays. My part time schedule changes so my availability may open up more depending the times I work! My dog has a crate that helps her feel like she has a little den to herself. Moose also has a harness she wears to keep her from pulling.

Alex did a genuinely outstanding job for my guys. She even did little things such as turning on the backyard porch light for them. It was evident that she loved them beyond that which was asked.

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.
