“Jessica was great! We got pictures every day and a video too! We could tell she made our old girl comfortable and happy in a new environment. She also has a one level house with no stairs to the backyard which is great for dogs with arthritis. We will definitely use her again next time we go out of town!”

“Chyna was absolutely amazing with our babies, Hampton and Willow! She cared for them overnight and gave us such peace of mind while we were away. She was attentive, loving, and made sure both dogs were comfortable and well cared for. It’s clear that she genuinely loves animals and treats them like her own. Hampton and Willow were happy and relaxed when we returned, which says everything. We are so grateful for Chyna and highly recommend her to anyone looking for a trustworthy, caring, and dependable pet sitter!”
“Absolutely amazing! She updated me the entire time my pup stayed and made everything so comfy and easy for my pup and me! Would recommend her to anyone it was an incredible experience!!”

“I have left my dogs with Lauren twice and have been more than happy. Nothing is better than knowing my babies are getting love and care while I am away. One of my dogs is very selective with people and I can tell she really likes being with Lauren. Definitely the first sitter I contact when Im going out of town!”
“Buddy obviously had an amazing time this weekend. He seemed excited to be home, but after the initial excitement died down, he stood by the door wanting to go back. :)”
“Carli was a huge help taking our pup on a last minute request! She has great communication and was able to work with a couple changes in our travel plans to work out best for everyone. She stuck to our dogs schedule to keep him happy and comfortable and we didn’t have to worry about him at all for the duration of his stay.”
“Kimberley was awesome! She was very accommodating and understanding of our older dog’s transition to a new area and home. Maddie loved her spacious backyard and her new friends, Sampson and Stokely. Maddie can’t wait for us to need Kimberley’s services again!”
“If I could leave 10 out of 5 stars I would! Amanda was wonderful and we could not have asked for a better experience. Besides being kind, gentle, and thoughtful, she was very caring and gave our dog lots of attention. We had multiple pictures and videos, which were so nice. She took Oliver on walks every day, not down the street, but to a park every day. She also fed him home cooked chicken (with my approval) to try to get him to eat (picky eater!). I know Oliver had a great time and it was so nice not worrying about our little boy! We will definitely use her again! Thank you Amanda!”

Thirdly, it is crucial to maintain good hygiene by keeping their living space clean and grooming them regularly.

“We were planning to leave our pups in a large kennel outside because we were only taking a day trip. Last minute, I feel that it is going to be too cold for me to be comfortable leaving them outside. David agreed to take them last minute, easing my concerns. We felt our pups were well cared for during their time with David. He kept us updated on them settling in. He sent us a video of our pups outside, behaving as they would if they were home. All of David's interactions with us during their stay allowed us to enjoy time with our family without concern. We are also sitters so, the fact that I would highly recommend David should speak volumes.”

About: Not only have I been dog sitting for the last 15 years, but I also have a lot of other experience with pet care! I have worked in a pet store as well as in veterinary offices when I used to live back in Indiana so I have learned a lot about caring for animals. I attended veterinary nursing school too before I moved, but I didn’t get to finish before moving down here and am currently looking to re start schooling here in Alabama. While I there I gained even more knowledge on animal health and care. I was the kennel manager for the shelter pets that we had at the school, where I was in charge of administering oral and IV/IM pet medication. I have experience working with elderly pets with medical issues as my own fur baby who passed in 2025 suffered from CHF and she required a lot of extra care towards the end. I love all types of animals and have experience caring for not only just dogs and cats. Over the years I have owned reptiles, turtles, and currently own 2 rabbits as well as 2 cats and 1 dog! If you book with me I will treat your pet as though they were my own so you can rest easy knowing they are loved and taken care of! I only work part time, so I have a very flexible schedule. I will have plenty of time to spend time with your pet! I am not typically away from home for very long, so I will be able to regularly come to check on your pet. I have a large fenced in yard and a dog door that my two dogs go in and out of freely. I will walk or run with your dog daily. There is usually always someone in my house at home at all times, who all love to interact with dogs. I have one other dogs. She is typically nice with other dogs but can be very skittish, so they would need to be introduced prior to being watched. The safety and comfort of all of the dogs including my own are my priority, so it needs to be a good fit. My dog does love to play a lot so they usually enjoy having another furry friend to play with. My 2 cats and 2 rabbits also live in the home, but the layout of the house allows them to stay in the upstairs portion of the house and it is blocked off to allow them to be separated. They all get along, but I feel more comfortable to allow them to have their own spaces.

About: With over 16 years of experience in animal care, I bring a strong background in both small and large animals, including horses, livestock, and dogs. I’ve worked in veterinary clinics and dog boarding facilities, which gave me hands-on experience with animals of all temperaments and needs. While I value the structure of those settings, I believe in-home care is the most comfortable and stress-free option for most pets. I currently care for two dogs and two horses of my own, and I approach every client’s animal with the same level of respect, patience, and attentiveness I give my own. House Sitting Availability: I’m available for overnight care only, providing feeding, walks, and supervision during the night hours. Drop-In Visits Availability: I can provide up to two drop-in visits per day, including feeding, potty breaks, and basic care. In home boarding : I live in an apartment with a fenced deck, have two friendly dogs, and kids aged 3 and 8. I provide plenty of walks, playtime, and attention. I never board more than one family at a time, so your pup gets all the care and attention they need while you’re away. I prioritize safety and trust above all else when caring for pets in your home. Creating a calm, secure environment is essential to help your pets feel comfortable and relaxed while you’re away. I treat your home and pets with the same respect and care I would expect for my own!

“Carli was a huge help taking our pup on a last minute request! She has great communication and was able to work with a couple changes in our travel plans to work out best for everyone. She stuck to our dogs schedule to keep him happy and comfortable and we didn’t have to worry about him at all for the duration of his stay.”
“If I could leave 10 out of 5 stars I would! Amanda was wonderful and we could not have asked for a better experience. Besides being kind, gentle, and thoughtful, she was very caring and gave our dog lots of attention. We had multiple pictures and videos, which were so nice. She took Oliver on walks every day, not down the street, but to a park every day. She also fed him home cooked chicken (with my approval) to try to get him to eat (picky eater!). I know Oliver had a great time and it was so nice not worrying about our little boy! We will definitely use her again! Thank you Amanda!”

Jonathan and his family were kind and welcoming, and it was clear my dog was well cared for and loved!”
