“We are so thankful for the sweet care that Norma gave. We could tell our dog was happy and rested when we picked him up. Norma's house was very near where the graduation was held, so it was easy to drop him off and pick him up. We would definitely use Norma again- she is so sweet! We are very grateful to her for being so kind and sweet to our little one. We are looking forward to using Norma again!”

“Kattie was great with my 2 dogs. She was quick to respond, very accommodating for last minute booking and overall pleasant to work with. She took great care of my dogs and they left Kattie's house happy. Would recommend for your pet needs.”


“Catherine is phenomenal. We are rather intense when it comes to our furbaby and Catherine handled all of our requests with a smile. She has a lengthy history working with animals and a sincere love for them. We were out of town for 10 days and had a lot of anxiety about leaving our little guy for so long. However, Catherine sent regular updates and lots of photos to help alleviate our worries. When I went to pick him up he was clean, happy, and wearing the cutest little bowtie I've ever seen. We recommend Catherine without any reservations.”

“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: What sets me different from others is the genuine connections I have with Dogs. A Dog is a man bestfriend and I love that quote. I single handedly trained all my dogs and others. Took time out to build that trust, connection, and loyalty to make sure we trust each other and be there for each other. I currently just graduated school. I went to Troy University out of high school and transferred to the University of Mississippi for my final year. Right now I have alot of free time on my hands and can work around any schedule. I care for pets the same way I care for a human. But also with the understanding the dog has to know your the “Top Dog” in a sense so it knows to respect you and not turn against you.
About: Since a young age, I have had dogs and a few cats in my household. We have had dogs ranging from newborn to 17 years old. I am versed in taking care of pets, whether they are sick, require extra care, or extra monitoring around your other pets. I have a flexible job, so I am able to work and not work when needed. I prefer to do Pet care over my regular job. I have several leashes and collars, and am very familiar with the Tuscaloosa and Birmingham surrounding areas. I am willing to guard your pet with my life.

About: I have had and loved dogs for more than 20 years. I specialize in small to medium size. I only care for one to three dogs. Keeping it small allows for more attention and a great experience. Se habla espanol. I'm a "stay-at-home." My schedule is flexible and caring for pets really fulfills my day. I can board on weekends and possibly holidays. My home is cozy and your dog stays on a soft bed right in the family room. Cages are not used unless you request and provide. Outside, I have a large fenced yard with plenty of room to play fetch or chase the occasional butterfly. I enjoy gardening and dogs love to be outside.
About: Unfortunately, my services are temporarily on pause while I care for a family member. I will update when I'm able to accept clients again! My dog Lucy and I love to play. We go for 30-minute walks (at least) every day, run around and play fetch in the backyard, and play tug of war with her toys throughout the day. We would love for your pet to join us! When I was little, I was the hired pet sitter in the neighborhood, plus I also had my own pets growing up. As an adult, I've had my own pets and have been hired to pet-sit for several friends' dogs and cats, both short- and long-term gigs, over the years. I have experience administering oral medication to both dogs and cats and some dog grooming experience (although grooming is not my passion, ha). Weekends are when I consistently have the most time to focus on your pet, but I sometimes have some availability on weekdays. Just ask and I'll see what I can do! We have a fenced-in backyard (tall wooden fence) that is the size of an additional lot. The yard has a few shade trees and is mostly open grass. We have several toys to play with, both in the backyard and inside, including a water sprinkler. Your dog will not be left unattended in my care unless I need to run an errand briefly and they are secured according to your instructions (crated, etc.) We have a large dog crate your dog can use if you'd like so you don't have to bring yours back and forth. There are several safe places to go for walks nearby with lots of grassy areas.

About: I’ve had many pets growing up, from cats to dogs! I love all animals, I used to be a barrel racer so I’ve ridden horses! And, my entire family has also been animal lovers from one having 4 dogs in one household to another having a pet tortoise! I’ve been around it all, small or big, chill or excited, so I love all! I’m currently a Student at the University of Alabama. I also am a member of the university’s Million Dollar Band! This being said I do have an availability that of a student. But, this should not limit my abilities of caring for your pet! I am very open and flexible with my schedule and we can find a way to make it work that is best comfortable for you! If you were wanting to have me care for your pet at home, they would have to be house trained as well as being okay around cats. My cat is very sweet she’s been around other cats and dogs, so she is very well acquainted to other animals! If I am to care for your animal at your home, I can assure you that I will do my best to follow your exact daily schedule your animals are accustomed to, that way they don’t have any extra stresses! As well as, you will not have to worry in the slightest bit about coming back and finding your place a mess! When you return not only will you return to happy pets but also a place that hopefully looks better than how you left!

About: I’ve taken care of dogs and cats since I was 10 years old, from the neighborhoods dog to good friends. I also breed French bulldogs and very knowledgeable on welping litters. I currently work remotely from home, so I'll be at home majority of the day with your fur baby to give them 100% of my attention. I prioritize pet care by meeting their needs. Daily picture and video updates are sent of your fur baby. Trust is key—I maintain a safe environment free of harmful substances. Additionally, I promote exercise and mental stimulation for their well-being.
About: I have always loved and cared for all animals, my family has consistently kept at least 1 dog and 1 cat in the household, and I became an active caretaker of our animals around age 9. Although I began with my family pets, I have consistently taken care of others animals for 2 years. In that time I have worked with many dog sizes and their resulting personalities. Additionally I have experience handling multiple animals at once. I enjoy getting to know each animal and finding what they like and need. I keep things calm and consistent so they feel comfortable while you’re away. I am in college, so my schedule is subject to change—please check my calendar for the most up-to-date availability. I will be traveling between Starkville and Laurel areas in Mississippi. I live in town and like to keep dogs (and myself) active with regular walks and time outside. I pay attention to how each pet behaves so I can adjust to what they’re comfortable with, whether that’s pace, distance, or time. I will follow your instructions closely and make sure your pet stays safe and your home is respected. I will also keep communication clear to ensure you are aware of any events.
