About: I have a dog and 2 cats if my own so I consider myself experienced in pet care. I have dog sat for many years now for both neighbors and family. I don’t mind cleaning up after pets and I can give medicine to unwilling pets. I don’t currently have a job so I am free whenever! I am simply looking to make some money to help with college in the fall. I have a fenced backyard and my pets are friendly. I can easily crate your pet if that’s what they’re used to. I can also come to your house to take them out and give them plenty of love.

“Samantha did a fantastic job keeping our lab while we were on a long vacation! She sent regular updates and pictures. She even stayed with him and kept him calm in the midst of a tornado warning! I would absolutely recommend her for all of your pet sitting needs!”


About: I love watching animals more than anything! Always know that your animal is loved and in great hands when I am in charge and responsible for them I am a full time student at The University of Alabama. This is my first year so I am still getting used to everything! I only have 2 classes max a day so have plenty of free time!! I know how to crate animals, as I have a puppy back home that is crate trained. If your yard is not fenced I will at all times keep your dog on a leash!!

About: I’ve had my own dog for 8 years and moving away from home for college definitely made me miss him very much! I love looking after other people’s dogs and enjoy getting to know them and their habits and I love spending quality time with them. I don’t have any experience specifically training dogs but I love teaching them fun little tricks and am always excited to take on new challenges I’m currently working part-time and semi-remotely so I am very flexible on timing! I’m open to adapting to people’s needs and am always happy to move things around1 I’d always be happy to meet the pup in advance to learn more about routine, feeding, walk schedule and any medication information that is needed. I’m great at staying with a routine and know that it’s always best not to change this suddenly. I like knowing that the dog is comfortable and I’m always happy to send updates

About: Ive always lived with either dogs, cats, fish, or reptiles. Animals have always been apart of my life and they will continue to be so. I work full time during the week but I make my own schedule so I am flexible. I am primarily available for Friday- Sunday pet care. I own a german shepherd Harley who is 5 and has to have topical drops and medicine given orally daily. So I am decently experienced in giving medication and will treat you pet as my own while taking care of them.

“Cadie was very sweet and my pups loved her! She was able to stay at my home day and night. I have a old pup in diapers. I am very happy she was there for them in all of there needs! She is the best!”


“Melanie was WONDERFUL! She cared about our fur babies like they were her own. We have two rescues, one who is recovering from separation anxiety and another who is a senior dog losing his hearing. It was such a relief to get regular reports from Melanie that assured us that our dogs were safe, loved, and cared for. I would book with her again in a heartbeat!”

“Last minute booking and was happy to have found Fiona. Now, ecstatic that I did !!!! She did a meet a greet for about an hour a few days before we left to meet us and the pups. Showed up on time on the start date, stayed in touch to make sure we were comfortable and was waiting at our home on our return date. Pups were excited to see us, but we could tell they had been just fine without us. Our home was clean and in order. Fiona....Thank You, Connie and I truly appreciate it.”


About: What sets me apart is my deep understanding and love for dogs of all ages and needs. I’m not just a sitter – I’m a trusted companion who tailors every visit to your dog's unique personality. Whether it’s playful puppies needing extra training and attention, or senior dogs requiring gentle care and medication reminders, I’ve got the experience to make sure they’re comfortable, happy, and safe. I specialize in helping pups with basic training, reinforcing good habits, and ensuring they feel loved and secure when you’re away. You can trust that your dog will always be treated like family! I have a very flexible schedule so I am able to work around your pet care needs. I can accommodate to your schedule and your pet! I understand that every pet has unique needs—whether it’s medication, specific feeding times, or extra attention for training—and I’m happy to work around that. My priority is making sure your pet feels comfortable and loved, no matter what your schedule looks like. Whether I’m caring for your pet in my home or yours, my approach is all about creating a familiar, comfortable environment for your dog. If they’re staying with me, they’ll enjoy a cozy, dog-friendly space where they’re treated like family—lots of playtime, regular walks, and plenty of cuddles. I always keep routines consistent, from meal times to nap schedules, to ensure they feel at ease. If I’m visiting your home, I make sure to follow your pet’s daily routine, keeping everything as normal as possible. I offer regular updates, so you can relax knowing your dog is happy, safe, and well cared for.

About: I have taken care of dogs going on 13 years since I was younger. I have a 13 year old shitzu who I have had since she was a baby so I raised her up. A few years ago we got a pit-bull who I also raised up since a baby. I also occasionally watch my family's dogs, mostly pit-bulls. I care for all sizes and personalities of dogs! I am currently freshly out of school for the summer so I have an extremely flexible schedule with notice! I can watch the pets at my residence or house sit, whichever is best for you! I have parks and a lot of yard area in my apartment complex. I have no dog with me currently so your pet would not feel uncomfortable. I can follow whatever schedule or whatever you provide for your pet. Also I love to play so they will be entertained.

About: I have experience with both puppies and senior pets, and I’m really good at picking up on their needs. I’m patient with training, gentle with older pets, and always go the extra mile to make sure they feel safe and loved. I treat every animal like family and take pride in being dependable and caring. Pet care is a central part of my daily and weekly routine. I plan my days around each pet’s needs to ensure they receive consistent, personalized attention. Mornings typically begin with feeding, walking, or checking in on pets who stay overnight or require morning visits. Midday is often dedicated to dog walks or drop-in visits, especially for pets who need a bathroom break, medication, or company while their owners are at work. Follow the pet’s regular feeding schedule, including any medications. Provide fresh water at all times. Take dogs on walks or let them out as needed. Keep cats’ litter boxes clean and odor-free. Stick to the pet’s normal routine to reduce stress. Spend quality time with pets through play, affection, and attention.

About: I’ve taken care of all age dogs since I was young. I love walking them and can bathe them as well if needed. Very flexible schedule and so their schedule can be maintained. I pride myself on tailoring each experience to suit your furry friend's unique personality. Safety always comes first as I navigate walks and playtime, drawing from years of experience handling dogs of all sizes and temperaments. Rest assured, your furry companion will receive abundant love and affection, just like they do at home. Plus, you'll stay connected every step of the way with regular updates and adorable photos. I’m currently working part time so I will still have plenty of time to take care of your pets. I have very flexible hours and will make it work. I have a dog and 2 cats. We have a big yard and definitely do daily walks at least 3 times a day. Really depends on the pet and the environment.

Highly highly recommended Abby to anyone looking for a dog lover to spoil their baby.
