“Donna was so good with my dog Rico. She was able to connect with Rico and relax him when I dropped him off and she sent me pictures of his progress throughout the day. I will use her again!”
“We could not be happier with our experience using Meaghan and Johnny to care for our pup, Grayson. They welcomed him into their home and made him part of their family. They made us feel very comfortable leaving him there and kept us updated with pictures and videos of his adventures while we were away. Grayson had so much fun there that we were afraid he would not want to come home :). If you are looking for a compassionate and caring family to care for you pet, look no further.”
“Kelly took extremely good care of our two pugs. One is 5 and the other is not quite 2. She has a yard where they could run and play which I am sure they loved because we do not have a yard they can play off leash on (more like a tick farm). The boys came home very happy and have collapsed on our laps to recuperate for their next adventure. I will book Kelly & Brian again when the need arises.”
“I would highly reccomend for anyone who needs a dog sitter to use Colleen. She was very friendly and made us feel comfotable when we arrived. Her house is dog friendly. This was tge first rime I ever used a dog sitter and I was very pleased. She sent several pics of our dog happily enjoying herself and a fun video of my German Shepherd puppy playing with her dog. When I needed to extend the time she allowed us to extend a whold day. It was a great experience and I will use her again.”
“Alex was an outstanding pet sitter. We feel so lucky to have met her and chosen her to take care of our dog. She sent updates and photos often and let us know our dog was in good hands.”
“I couldn’t have asked for a better sitter for our Kano. It was our first time leaving him with a stranger. From our first communication, I felt a sense of calm and professionalism and she didn’t disappoint. When we dropped him off I knew he was in good hands. We received daily updates with photos. He really had a great time. She also gave us some great insight on ways to help Kano’s growth and development (boundaries). He’s a puppy and has never been around anyone except my family. I highly recommend Dalia.”
“She was amazing in her service as my dog is a medical service dog. I was so happy to see that my girl was left in good hands and treated like a part of their family. Also, the sitter was extremely flexible with my travel, inconveniences and insured that my girl was taking care of the entire time. I can’t recommend her highly enough for her wonderful work and the fact that she is fantastic at sharing the daily activities While your animal is in her care so you can rest assured that they aren’t being just left in a kennel and not loved. I will be using her services moving forward as much as I can for my travel issues as I am very particular for where my dog goes and to be offered the country experience alongside the family love that her home offers is topped to your service for an affordable price.”
“I've left my baby Mojo at his vet for boarding and with family always needed some meds to get him through not with Melanie wonderful videos and pics to prove it Mojo and Stella played so well together Melanie did so much for us I will be using her for all my times away Thank you Melanie and Stella”
“During the introduction, her dogs were a little aggressive and snipped a few times, but we both thought that we'd give it a try and agreed that they did not get along she could drop him off at my house and could routinely drop by and care for him there. Kristen and her family were great. I was a little nervous about leaving my dog with someone new, but Kristen did such a good job those concerns went away pretty quick. They introduced their dogs with mine at a park beforehand and then routinely followed up with me with how he was doing while I was traveling. Definitely recommend.”
“Our pet sitter had an emergency 24hrs before our trip, leaving us in a bind. Brett’s response time was less than 8hrs. We received picture updates and Brett was extremely responsive via text. We will definitely be back!”
“Jessica was great! We had a last minute trip and she was able to accommodate us and worked with our schedule. We knew from the meet and great that Gus would be in good hands. We received pictures and videos and Gus looked happy and like he was having a fantastic time’ Gus was comfortable and made himself right at home! Definitely recommend them and will use again!”
“Auburn was absolutely the best possible person we could have found to care for my mom's dog. She was kind, flexible, understanding, and totally amazing. My mom had to accompany her partner to an out of town medical facility, immediately after he received a surprise terminal diagnosis. She was very worried about her dog. Auburn picked Ginger up, took great care of her, sent regular pictures and updates, and dropped Ginger off after my mom got home, late at night. She was beyond accommodating and I would recommend her to anyone. If we ever have another need for service, we hope and pray Auburn will be available.”
“Kira was amazing with our Mylo. This was our first time boarding him and I was very scared and had no idea what to expect. I felt much better as soon as I met Kira. She was very sweet and Mylo went right to her. I received daily pictures and updates of Mylo.”
“My Piper had a great time with Diane and her fur babies. She has an overall very pet-friendly house/backyard/neighborhood. She treated my fur baby just like her own, and we’ll definitely come back to her in the future.”

“This was our first time with Mollie and we absolutely loved her! She did a phenomenal job caring for our inside fur herd of 7 cats and even managed to find our newest stray baby outside which made my hubby so happy. We love that we have found the perfect person to trust our babies with and we look forward to leaving them with her every time now. She’s the best”
“Karli did a great job with Demi, spending time with her during the drop-ins to make sure she didn't get too lonely. Good communication and updates, and made sure to take care of all of our cat's needs. We will definitely reach out to Karli the next time we are going away. Thanks Karli.”
“I really think my cat Jesse is in love with Mallie. When I got home after 8 days away, Jesse told me all about the great time he had with Mallie. They have been together three times in the past year and I am certain they will get to spend more time together in the future. Mallie brushed Jesse because his fur was shiny and soft. His water dish was clean and plenty of food was in his bowl when I returned. Great job Mallie!!”

“We loved having Valerie stay with our pets while we were on vacation. She was so good with our cat and it was so nice knowing they were in good hands while we were away. I will definitely book with her again for our next vacation!”
About: Since I was a child, I've been raising and taking care of animals of all shapes and sizes. I've nursed plenty of bottle babies- kittens, puppies and even rodents and farm animals. I've worked at the Chattanooga Zoo and volunteered at shelters across the country, so there's nothing you can throw at me that I haven't seen before! I currently work full-time 5 days a week, 8-10 hour shifts, so I have to schedule around that. The rest of my day will be dedicated to your pet(s)! I love matching a pet's energy and I'm happy hanging out on the couch or running circles in the yard- whatever the situation calls for!

I very much like spending time walking around or just sitting and gaming and cuddling with my pets. I am able to train puppies as i have owned a 3 time grand champion vizsla, though I am no professional I was just taught so i could show my dog. I enjoy spending time in the woods and or in the ocean just being about in the beauty of nature. I hope and pray to be able to meet your little or big angel because that is what a pet is an ANGEL and a beloved family member. please enjoy your day! it is my life. i do this for my job, but i do love all animals so i am more than happy to do this. im very patient and willing to just let them get to know me. i follow things to a tee that way your pet gets the care it needs
“Alex was wonderful! My cat’s stay ended up being shorter than expected, and she was super understanding and accommodating! She was very attentive and caring towards my cat and provided consistent updates every single day. I would book with her again.”
About: I’m not just a cat sitter — I’m a lifelong animal lover with a soft spot for spooky vibes and a deep understanding of feline personalities. I bring calm hands, patience, and medical awareness to every visit. I grew up around animals, have a cat of my own named Callista, and I know how important it is to keep pets feeling safe, seen, and loved while their humans are away. Whether your cat is shy, sassy, or a full‑time cuddle monster, I tailor my care to their comfort and routine, so they feel completely at home.
“Meaghan and Johnny kept our sweet kitty Ozzy while we went on vacation. I received multiple pictures and videos letting me know he was doing well. I trusted them 100% with our little guy and they allowed us to have a wonderful vacation without any worries!”
“I have to say ... We found a JEWEL when we found Sarah!!!! She is THE BEST! We have two little kitties and when she came to meet them they fell in love with her! She take care of them as they were hers. We can't wait to use your from now on. If you want someone that will love your fur babies, look no further & Book Sarah ❤️❤️❤️”
“Jennifer was great with my kitties! They can sometimes be skittish with new people, but they clearly loved her. I could also tell she had a lot of fun checking in on them. She also went the extra mile to check around our house for any damage the cold may have caused while we were out of town.”

“Meaghan and her family did such a great job with Kylo! He had the best day playing with the kids and their pets. It was so good to know he was having a blast and being taken care of while we were gone for a long day at the ball field!”

“Hope was great! She sent several updates during the day and made sure my dog was comfortable. She was also very flexible and was able to book us last minute. I’ll definitely be using her again!”

“Auburn and her beautiful daughter took my baby, Mocha, on a last-minute request, and they were wonderful! Kind people, clean home, and I know they took care of my sweet pea🌸. Thank you, Rover, for having wonderful people like Auburn on your team! I will be back♥️ and thank you!!”
About: What truly sets me apart is my commitment to communication. I provide regular updates, photos, and detailed notes after each visit or walk, so you always feel connected to your pet. My background also includes volunteer work at a local animal shelter, where I gained hands-on experience handling dogs with special needs and anxiety. You can count on me to treat your pet and home with the same respect and care I’d expect for my own. Reliability, compassion, and peace of mind—that’s what I bring to every visit. Pet care is an integral part of my daily and weekly routine. I prioritize creating a consistent and safe environment for every pet in my care, whether that means early morning walks, timely feedings, or engaging play sessions throughout the day. I incorporate time each day to monitor health, behavior, and comfort, ensuring pets feel secure and loved while their owners are away. On a weekly basis, I plan for special outings, grooming (if needed), and ongoing communication with pet owners to provide updates and maintain trust. Caring for animals is more than a job—it’s a responsibility I take seriously, and I structure my schedule to reflect that commitment. I have a fenced in privacy fence back yard! As well as a temperature controlled garage if needed to separate! I have an extra crate if needed as well!

About: With years of hands-on experience caring for dogs of all breeds, ages, and temperaments, I offer more than just sitting — I provide personalized attention tailored to your pet’s unique needs. Whether it’s gentle care for seniors, extra patience and playtime for high-energy pups, or basic training for young dogs, I’ve got the skills and heart to make sure your pet feels safe, happy, and loved while you’re away. I treat every dog like family — because they are. As a stay-at-home mom, I integrate pet care seamlessly into our daily and weekly routines. Each morning begins with feeding and checking on our pets, ensuring they have fresh water and a clean space. Throughout the day, I include walks, playtime, and interaction as part of our family activities—helping pets stay active and engaged. Grooming, cleaning litter boxes or cages, and maintaining their living areas are handled regularly, typically during nap times or quieter parts of the day. I also schedule weekly tasks such as bathing, or vet visits as needed. Caring for our pets is a natural part of our home life. As a stay-at-home mom, creating a safe, trustworthy, and nurturing environment is at the heart of my daily routine. I prioritize cleanliness, consistency, and attentiveness to ensure every member of the household—whether child, adult, or pet—feels secure and cared for. I understand how important it is to build trust through reliability and open communication, and I maintain a calm, structured environment that promotes comfort and peace of mind.
“Ben is one of the best dog sitters Lamby’s met! He was available last minute and even helped us with transport as we only had our RV and finding a pet friendly taxi in town was challenging. Lamb Chop almost wanted to stay with Ben he had such a good day, and he was perfectly tuckered out and content after a fun time.”
“I wish I could use Amber over and over again! I live in Indiana and came to Alabama for a quick visit. Amber was accommodating to the difficulty that comes with timing when traveling. She is so kind and warm. She made me feel so reassured about dropping off my two boys and it looks like three of them had a blast. If I lived nearby she would 100% be my go to for all my trips. LOVED her!!!!”
About: We have raised and take care of all three of our dogs! We also pet sit my sister’s Golden Retriever sometimes! This includes feeding, walking, playing, exercising, bathing, etc. We have crate and potty trained all three of our personal pets. Our dogs sleep with us at night and are allowed on our furniture. Any dog we keep is treated like our own! My husband and I both work full time jobs, but my husband Brandon is a school teacher so he is home all summer. Your dogs are rarely ever crated… only if we have an errand to run. Our typical weekend is spent at the dog park, in the drive thru at Dunkin’ for pup cups, and lounging on the couch! My husband is home during the summer, and we have a fenced in backyard, so the dogs are let out to play and potty multiple times during the day. We feed our dogs twice a day- once in the morning & once at night, but let us know if you have a different schedule and we will keep your dog on it! We have three dogs of our own that sleep with us at night and are allowed on our furniture. Blu is three and loves to play with new friends! Ellie is four and would prefer to lay on her bed and chew her bone! Any dog we keep is treated like our own!

About: I have always had pets growing up and my love for them has grown into my adulthood even more. I have a passion for learning and understanding all different types of animals. My experience in Pet Care is from owning my own pets and caring for family, friends and volunteering over the years. My husband works nights and I work days so there is always someone home to make sure your fur baby is taken care of and loved on! Our residence features ample space in the garage, and a spacious fenced-in backyard. As pet owners ourselves, with two golden doodles and a cat, we understand the stress associated with leaving them behind. Consequently, we would provide a nurturing environment, treating boarded pets like our own, with generous playtime outside of their kennels and the attention and affection they are accustomed to receiving at home. ❤️

With experience working with rescue animals and multi-pet households, she understands that every pet deserves patience, attention, and a safe environment.

Known for being reliable, observant, and calm under pressure, Miss Majesty ensures pets stay happy, healthy, and loved while their humans are away. Because pets deserve more than a sitter, they deserve someone who genuinely cares. I am a retired teacher with a very flexible schedule to make sure your pet is cared for while you are on vacation or have to work late hours. My own animals are part of the family so they spend time inside with us and have good sized yard to play in. To make sure they get all the attention they need and deserve they have scheduled walks and playtime.
About: I worked at a vet for two years and have had experience with boarding pets there, I’ve pet sat for many friends and family in their homes, and I worked with dogs on a daily basis at my former job as a dog bather. I have three dogs and a cat of my own and have many years of experience with cats since we owned several kitties back home. I’ve worked with dogs of all age, breed, and size so I am familiar with many different situations and quirks of the different breeds. My schedule is flexible! While I work full-time Monday through Friday, I’m available for morning, evening, and weekend care, and I can often adjust my schedule to meet your pet’s needs. Feel free to reach out, I’m happy to discuss what works best for you and your pet! I will spend as much time as needed with your fur babies and will make sure all of your requests and expectations are met! I am trustworthy and understand that your pets are part of your family so they will be taken care of like they were my own. I will make sure your pets have an enjoyable time while their parents are away!
About: I've grown up with dogs my entire life, and in the last five years, have raised three puppies into well-behaved, mature dogs, and cared for my two senior dogs until they passed. I personally trained my youngest dog and she is the best-behaved pup in public! I have experience with administering medication, grooming, training, feeding routines, and overall handling, especially dogs that are skittish or fearful. All of these skills helped me excel in both of my kennel assistant positions. I am patient and fully willing to provide care for senior or injured pets, as they hold a special place in my heart. I'm currently a full-time student at MSU, and will share my schedule when a booking request is made. I have gaps between my classes, and am generally done with school around 12 pm on T/TH and around 2-3pm on M/W/F. Again, I have gaps between classes so I am available at different times of day. I am fully free on the weekends! I have three dogs and two cats currently living at home, while I have my third car with me at college. My college car is also blind and one of my home dogs has a torn CCL, but they both are adored all the same. I wouldn't change it for the world! My dogs are on radio collars on occasion (generally when strays begin to appear), but more often than not, they are inside-outside dogs and are let out on average 4-6x a day. My own dog, Felix, has the torn CCL and gets leashwalked 4-6x a day as well. All of my cats are free-fed dry food, and my blind kitty gets fed a special dry food. My oldest cat (13 yrs) is also fed wet food as an additional food, 1-2x a day. Their litter box is cleaned weekly, as we do not scoop, but I do scoop my blind cat's litter box daily, as she is the only cat in the dorm and the box is suited specifically for her. In my clients home, I will follow any and all rules and regulations laid out of me. I love "excessive details" as they give me a better idea of how to properly care for the pets. I follow feeding times and amounts to a T, and double, triple, sometimes quadruple-checking amounts of everything, whether it be food, medications, or the amount of excrement I find. If anything looks off (behavior, excrement, appetite, etc.) the owner is immediately notified with a mentality of "what do you want me to do next?" My goal is to treat the pet as good as the owner does, in the time I am around them. On walks, I encourage proper walking skills (heeling, low reactivity), and try to help teach dogs as I do so. If allowed by the owner, I'd use low-calorie, high-reward treats with a clicker tool to help refine walking skills. This way the pet gets mental and physical stimulation, while being able to still be themself.
About: I bring extensive experience from working at both an animal boarding facility and a veterinary clinic, with knowledge of many different species. I can help with everything from starting potty training to ensuring your pets get the best care possible. I work full-time at a veterinary clinic that also specializes in boarding. Before becoming a vet technician, I spent two years as a full-time animal caregiver. I truly respect your wishes and always put your pet’s safety first. I’ve cared for pets in their own homes, making sure they feel loved, comfortable, and safe no matter who they are with.
About: hi! my name is jaylyn! I have always had dogs and one cat growing up so i am a huge animal lover. i got my first pet, a dog, when i was in middle school and have had pets every since. I have personally trained all of my dogs growing up, and i love animals almost more than people ;) i love animals very much and love a good cuddler! i really want to spread my love and joy of animals while taking care of others precious babies! i am very flexible and any service i am willing to tweak in whatever way works for both of us. life is crazy and times are hard..so i am very open to anything that might be needed! I currently work a full-time job but i do get days off which gives me time to take care of your babies. i am almost always free on weekends! i can crate your pet if that is needed, no yard but plenty of dogs parks to let them run around and roam which is fenced.
About: I am a CMA, and have worked in 4 vets offices over the years. I can give medication (oral, topicals or shots). I have been a groomer for 9ish years (traveling to homes and in grooming shops). I also come packing a huge heart ready to love whatever babies you have. I have cared for them all and really to care for yours!💜 I recently had surgery in March but have been cleared for work. I am a mobile groomer for myself so my schedule is very flexible. Working with vets/in hospitals, I have learned the best way to keep your animals safe and happy is to stay in their own home. Cars and new environments can cause a lot of stress or anxiety. Drop in visits and house sitting keeps your pet in a safe and comfortable place without the exposure to others or their pets.

“We could not be happier with our experience using Meaghan and Johnny to care for our pup, Grayson. They welcomed him into their home and made him part of their family. They made us feel very comfortable leaving him there and kept us updated with pictures and videos of his adventures while we were away. Grayson had so much fun there that we were afraid he would not want to come home :). If you are looking for a compassionate and caring family to care for you pet, look no further.”
“I would highly reccomend for anyone who needs a dog sitter to use Colleen. She was very friendly and made us feel comfotable when we arrived. Her house is dog friendly. This was tge first rime I ever used a dog sitter and I was very pleased. She sent several pics of our dog happily enjoying herself and a fun video of my German Shepherd puppy playing with her dog. When I needed to extend the time she allowed us to extend a whold day. It was a great experience and I will use her again.”
“Alex was an outstanding pet sitter. We feel so lucky to have met her and chosen her to take care of our dog. She sent updates and photos often and let us know our dog was in good hands.”
“I couldn’t have asked for a better sitter for our Kano. It was our first time leaving him with a stranger. From our first communication, I felt a sense of calm and professionalism and she didn’t disappoint. When we dropped him off I knew he was in good hands. We received daily updates with photos. He really had a great time. She also gave us some great insight on ways to help Kano’s growth and development (boundaries). He’s a puppy and has never been around anyone except my family. I highly recommend Dalia.”
“She was amazing in her service as my dog is a medical service dog. I was so happy to see that my girl was left in good hands and treated like a part of their family. Also, the sitter was extremely flexible with my travel, inconveniences and insured that my girl was taking care of the entire time. I can’t recommend her highly enough for her wonderful work and the fact that she is fantastic at sharing the daily activities While your animal is in her care so you can rest assured that they aren’t being just left in a kennel and not loved. I will be using her services moving forward as much as I can for my travel issues as I am very particular for where my dog goes and to be offered the country experience alongside the family love that her home offers is topped to your service for an affordable price.”
“During the introduction, her dogs were a little aggressive and snipped a few times, but we both thought that we'd give it a try and agreed that they did not get along she could drop him off at my house and could routinely drop by and care for him there. Kristen and her family were great. I was a little nervous about leaving my dog with someone new, but Kristen did such a good job those concerns went away pretty quick. They introduced their dogs with mine at a park beforehand and then routinely followed up with me with how he was doing while I was traveling. Definitely recommend.”
“Our pet sitter had an emergency 24hrs before our trip, leaving us in a bind. Brett’s response time was less than 8hrs. We received picture updates and Brett was extremely responsive via text. We will definitely be back!”
“Jessica was great! We had a last minute trip and she was able to accommodate us and worked with our schedule. We knew from the meet and great that Gus would be in good hands. We received pictures and videos and Gus looked happy and like he was having a fantastic time’ Gus was comfortable and made himself right at home! Definitely recommend them and will use again!”
“Kira was amazing with our Mylo. This was our first time boarding him and I was very scared and had no idea what to expect. I felt much better as soon as I met Kira. She was very sweet and Mylo went right to her. I received daily pictures and updates of Mylo.”
“Becky was great. She worked with us and was flexible when we needed to change drop off times and was quick to communicate when we messaged her. We felt confident during Sandy’s stay that she was well taken care of and we enjoyed daily pictures and updates while we were gone. Sandy come home acting happy and content!”
About: We have raised and take care of all three of our dogs! We also pet sit my sister’s Golden Retriever sometimes! This includes feeding, walking, playing, exercising, bathing, etc. We have crate and potty trained all three of our personal pets. Our dogs sleep with us at night and are allowed on our furniture. Any dog we keep is treated like our own! My husband and I both work full time jobs, but my husband Brandon is a school teacher so he is home all summer. Your dogs are rarely ever crated… only if we have an errand to run. Our typical weekend is spent at the dog park, in the drive thru at Dunkin’ for pup cups, and lounging on the couch! My husband is home during the summer, and we have a fenced in backyard, so the dogs are let out to play and potty multiple times during the day. We feed our dogs twice a day- once in the morning & once at night, but let us know if you have a different schedule and we will keep your dog on it! We have three dogs of our own that sleep with us at night and are allowed on our furniture. Blu is three and loves to play with new friends! Ellie is four and would prefer to lay on her bed and chew her bone! Any dog we keep is treated like our own!
“Always an amazing experience! My Tillie couldn’t wait to get out of the car when she saw shaquita’s house again. She is so good at sending pictures and updates. I would recommend her to anyone. 💗”
“Ben did a wonderful job watching our two dogs. He has a beautiful property with plenty of space and was great about sending us pictures and keeping us updated. Both our dogs loved Ben. They kept running back to him to say bye when we picked them up. We will definitely use Ben again in the future and highly recommend him.”
About: Experienced Pet Care for All Kinds of Animals! I’ve always loved animals, and over the years, I’ve had the opportunity to care for a wide variety. I’ve farm-sat for a property with 5 dogs, 16 horses, chickens, and a cat. I’ve also looked after homes with aquariums, koi ponds, ferrets, hedgehogs, and turtles. I even have experience working with parrots and parakeets. With over a decade of dog-sitting experience for both small and large breeds, I’m dedicated to following every pet’s unique routine—whether that means daily walks, special diets, or administering medications. Your pets will get all the outdoor time, care, and attention they need while you’re away. I have multiple references available, and I’m happy to provide them to give you peace of mind. My goal is to make sure you can enjoy your time away, knowing your pets are in good hands. I’m dedicated to providing exceptional care for your pets, offering a range of services including house sitting, drop-in visits, boarding, and dog walks. My schedule is designed to accommodate your needs. Whether you need someone to stay overnight, check in on your pets during the day, or take them for a walk, I’m here to provide loving and reliable care. Feel free to reach out if you have any questions or specific requests! When caring for pets in your home, I prioritize following any specific instructions you provide to ensure your pets receive the best possible care. I will maintain their routine and comfort by adhering to their feeding schedules, exercise needs, and any special care requirements. In addition to pet care, I’m happy to help with small tasks around your home, such as collecting mail, taking out the trash on designated days, and ensuring everything is in order while you’re away. My goal is to provide peace of mind, knowing that your pets are loved and your home is well cared for. For pets in my home, I create a safe and welcoming environment tailored to their needs. I ensure they have plenty of playtime, social interaction, and a cozy place to relax. Each pet is treated as part of the family, with plenty of attention and affection. If your pet is not a fan of cats or other dogs my house has the space for me to place my own pets into half the house providing everyone comfort and safety if needed.
“Return customer and very happy with the outstanding boarding Kristin provides to our two fur babies! Our pups are happy, healthy and exhausted from all the playtime they get when we pick them up. Highly recommended!!”
“Deborah was beyond phenomenal. I received multiple pictures and detailed updates every day my sweet Elle was away from home. I felt so relieved and there was no stress at all with Elle in her care. She is attentive to my dog and her dogs playing and is very consistent with commands when feeding and playing. She even brought the pups inside for rest breaks so they wouldn’t overheat. I will book every time I can with Deborah. 6 out of 5 stars.”
