“This was an absolute great experience! Lauren, a long with her husband and precious little girls gave my pups the best care possible! Definitely recommend Lauren!”
“We left our German Shepherd with Christa and her family over the 4th of July wknd for 5 days. We couldn’t have been more happy with how his stay went. We received pictures and updates daily. We know Kane had a great time with her & the kids. They were very kind and welcoming when we arrived, we knew as soon as we dropped him off that he was in great hands! Highly recommend :)”

“Amazing. First time we have boarded our tribe and could not be more pleased. They had a great time with his pack. Secure and safe. Updates we daily with videos. Definitely would recommend.”

“I cannot say enough good things about Stephanie! Our dog was SO well taken care of while she was with Stephanie and her family. We got lots of pictures, videos and updates and felt completely at ease the whole time we were on vacation. We would 100% recommend using Stephanie!”

“Amber went out of her way to make Snowflake feel at home. She even went to the store and bought her some chicken to boil because she didn’t want to eat her dog food. She was good to keep in touch and answer my questions soon after I asked them. She is a great sitter for my girl! I hope to book her to keep Snowflake again soon. Thank you, Amber!”

“Parker took my dog in the same day I asked and took care of her for five days. My lab is very energetic and loving and I could tell she was well taken care of. I would book with him again, amazing job and great communication!”

“Sarra was very accommodating for a last minute get away. She sent frequent updates with pictures and was very friendly at drop off and pick up. It was such a pleasure meeting her and I am really glad I found a loving sitter for our fur baby. I highly recommend her for your pet sitting needs and I will definitely be a repeat customer!”

“Elyssa was so so so great!! Updates with pictures the whole time she had my puppy! The sweetest soul and really passionate for what she does. I 100% recommend for her to watch y’all’s fur babies!!🥰🥰🥰🥰”

About: Dedicated and trusted dog professional with 20+ years of experience offering knowledgeable, structured, attentive, and reliable care for dogs of all ages, behaviors, and routines. Pet care isn’t an add-on to my schedule—it is my schedule. I structure my days around walks, feedings, training, and enrichment so dogs get consistent care, calm handling, and predictable routines. Each visit is planned, not rushed, and adjusted to the dog’s needs, energy level, and household expectations. Weekly, I build in flexibility for longer stays, special needs, and last-minute requests while maintaining reliability and communication. Dogs thrive on consistency, and my routine is built to provide exactly that. I provide structured, attentive care tailored to each pet and household—whether in my home or a client’s. In a client’s home, I follow the pet’s established routine for feeding, walks, medications, and enrichment to minimize stress. I focus on calm, confident handling, safety, and clear communication, with updates after each visit. In my home, pets receive a quiet, controlled environment with supervised interactions, structured rest, exercise, and individualized attention. I don’t do chaos or overcrowding—safety, cleanliness, and consistency come first. Across all services, I prioritize reliability, observation, and proactive care so issues are addressed early, not after they become problems.
“Dustin was absolutely amazing! He took such great care of Juno. I didn’t worry one second about her. He kept me informed throughout her stay, let her run and play, and pampered her better than I do! I can’t recommend Dustin for pet sitting and boarding highly enough.”

About: I have worked at a vets office going on 8 years now as a vet technician. I studied animal science at Auburn University. I have dog/cat sat for several years. I work an early shift as a superintendent. With my schedule I would still be able to do early early morning around 3/3:30 and mid afternoon check ins. I have 4 dogs that love to have friends to play with. I have a fenced in yard, but walk mine daily. I am a few minutes from Albertville’s Dog Park where my dogs love to go run and play.
About: I’ve taken care of animals since the young age of 10 and have always been an animal lover of all animals and have owned several dogs. I have always trained my own from potty training, crate training, to shaking hands, and have always done amazing with them. I’ve rescued several animals and strays. I absolutely love all fur babies and enjoy taking them on hikes and would love to take your fur baby on a hike or to play fetch. I work a full time job Monday-Wednesday with having a very short work day on Thursdays. I always have the spare time throughout my off days and will be able to take good care of your fur babies at all times. I have a huge yard with one fur baby that could keep yours company. My fur baby is friendly and would love to have a play date. I also can easily crate your animal if i ever needed to do so.
About: With over 10 years in pet sitting experience and 5 training and handling working dogs, I am confident in my ability to responsibly care for your loved one. I’ve centred my life around dogs and would love to have yours join! I have a special interest in animal husbandry, I am skilled in nail cuts, coat maintenance, and teeth cleans. I can accommodate nutrition needs. Skilled puppy raiser! Specializing in proper socialization, crate training, house training, and potty training. I have trained and worked with security dogs on patrol and in detection profiles. We currently train and compete in the German protection sport, Schutzhund. Very competent with working breeds. I work from home so the dogs fit into my daily routine. My dogs and I enjoy morning walks of the property, afternoon play time, and evening family activities. Your dogs will fit right in with our daily lifestyle as if they are part of our family. I have a small fenced yard, secure outdoor kennels, and about 2 acres of open property for dogs to enjoy. Dogs are always fully supervised when not in secure areas. I offer recall training with guest dogs in order to allow them full use of the property safely. Boarding dogs will sleep inside my house in their designated crate and then be included in family life and activities during the days. My personal dogs also sleep in crates. I believe this is important for dogs to have their own personal space to relax and feel safe enough to spend the night. Temperament dependent, dogs will be rotated in and out of daily life with the use of crates. However no dog will spend hours on end in crates. There is a rotation system ensuring everyone gets attention and exercise with time to be out and stretch.
About: I’ve had several different kinds of animals over my almost 30 years of life, and I consider myself a HUGE animal lover. I’ll take care of your babies as if they were my own… I’d own them all if I could! I work full time during the week, but I am available Friday-Sunday for boarding, or walks any time of the day! I’d love to get to know your fur babies! I have a fenced in backyard, with a doggy door to my back door- that can easily be closed off/shut. I have a spare bedroom so your baby could have its own room while visiting, or can easily spend the night in my room & share each other’s company!
About: Hi! My name is Sammi and I have 12+ years of taking care of all varieties of animals. I currently own 2 dogs (1 aussie and 1 recently rescued great pyreneese) , 2 cats, 4 horses and 2 reptiles of my own. I have worked with rescues, shelters and non-profits in the past so I am skilled in caring for animals with all kinds of needs. I also work from home with a flexible schedule so I am able to accommodate special requests and special needs animals during the week for those that need more attention. I look forward to speaking with you about how I can best help you and your animals! I currently work from home with flexible hours so am available usually from 8am to 8pm each day, with flexibility where needed. I currently walk my own dogs a mile or two every other day, with them being walked on the property every 4 hours for exercise. I live on 8 acres with woods so plenty of room for dogs to run around and play. I currently do not have a fenced in yard, but have multiple tether setups and/or long line leashes to walk dogs on and let them roam a bit while controlled. My 2 dogs are males who are friendly with others and love to play outside in the backyard. Since I am home during the day, all animals get lots of cuddles in my house (allowed on furniture) and constant interaction of bones, toys, tug of war, toys etc. I do have separate areas that dogs can be crated in alone if preferred. I do also have 2 cats that are dog friendly but have their own room they can be closed off in if needed.
About: I got my first dog when I was 10. Since then, I’ve never been dog free. They are a part of me and my family. I work remote and have three dogs and two cats of my own. I also have a dog door and at least half an acre that is fenced in. I have a separate room for the dogs at night but they can free roam during the day. They have free range of the back yard.

I live in a 4/2/2, with almost two acres of unfenced land. I do own one female, Toy Australian Shepherd, and she has been spayed and vaccinated. My two older children have moved out, so I only have my two toddlers half the time. I work remotely, so I'm able to be with your fur babies almost all the time! I can walk them every few hours and keep them fed/watered throughout the day. Lots of time for play and cuddles, too! I live on almost two acres, that is unfenced. I will walk your pup on a leash at all times. If he/she is crate trained, please be sure to bring their crate with them.

“Brianna was amazing! She was very responsible, knowledgeable about cats, and communicated quickly. She also followed all instructions. Brianna was hired for drop-ins yet went above and beyond by also spending time interacting with the kitties, petting, holding them so they felt safe and comfortable while we were away for a week. It was so nice to have that peace of mind while on our trip out of the country!! Highly recommended! I have no doubt we will hire her again!! Thank you Brianna!”


About: I've had cats all my life, and I'm not kidding (much!) when I say I was a cat myself in a former life. I get cats. I adore cats. Cats dig me. I have tamed feral kitties, taken care of special needs kitties, and catered to the needs of cats of all stripes. I currently live with three feline friends: Witzy, Faygo (my familiar, in the picture above), and Berry, a special needs kitten with cerebellar hypoplasia ("wobbly cat syndrome")

“She was awesome! We needed someone super last minute to help check on our babies during a trip we were taking like 4 days from looking in rover. She sent us pictures and even took cute polaroids of the cats and left them for us to see. We loved having her! Thank you again!”


“Brianna is outstanding! She is professional, dedicated, knowledgeable and executed all instructions with care and respect. Our 2 skid-dish cats warmed up to her instantly which gave me peace of mind and I am thoroughly impressed with the level of excellence she provided.”


About: I’ve took in stray cats and have owned serval cats growing up since the young age of 10. I’ve had several litter of kittens and have had to hand feed them before. I do well with cleaning out litter boxes and i enjoy playing with them as well.

About: To comfort any animal brings comfort to myself. I have experience with all kinds of pets and love all animals but cats are what you’d find in my home. It’s a common misconception that cats don’t require much attention but as a domesticated animal they thrive on human companionship while also having many natural instincts to accommodate. Some require more attention than others depending on their personality. One of the most important instincts to satisfy is the need to hunt/play. There are some automatic or interactive toys that work well but for the most part the best toy is something on the end of a string attached to a wand/rod and their human’s participation. This way you can mimic the evasive movements of an actual prey for your cat to hunt. This provides exercise and stimulation and I would be happy to play with your cat(s) I’m very good at befriending anxious or less trusting cats and identifying the things that exacerbate their anxiety and finding solutions to comfort them. I also have experience administering medications. With a cat the easiest route of administration is a liquid solution mixed in with some wet food or treat or squirted into the back side of the mouth with an oral syringe. Giving a cat a pill can be more difficult but it can be done. I would wrap them in a towel or blanket, lubricate pill so it doesn’t stick to fingers or tongue, tilt head back and insert pill into back of the mouth, return head to level position and rub their throat and/or slightly blow on the nose to stimulate swallowing reflexes, then give them a treat and love them! When possible I scoop our 3 cats’ boxes after every use. I’m happy to clean and scoop your cat’s box(es) with the same vigilance. A clean litter box is one factor in ensuring a healthy and happy cat!

“Perri is so kind and professional! I was skeptical about using this service (first time user) and she made me a very comfotable by meeting up with me before-hand! She was very helpful and did a great job with my puppy!”

“Sadie’s friends Beau and Bella (black labs) we’re visiting and we needed day care for the week. Bobbie Jo was the perfect solution. She took such care of them and her property was the absolute dream place for the pups. They were tired and happy when I picked them up. She spoiled them so much I was worried they would want to stay!! Plus Bobbie Jo is a wonderful delight. I will always depend on her for taking care of my fur babies. Thank you Bobbie Jo!!!!”

“Stephanie was absolutely amazing!!!!!!! She sent pics throughout the time she had them and I just knew they were so loved. Thank you again! You are our new sitter!!! Love, Claire & Izzy”
“WOW!!!! I was blown away by the level of care and love my dog received in Lauren's care!! The property is a dog's dream come true! It's fully fenced, and there were other friendly dogs for my dog to play with all day. I cannot say enough good things about my experience with Lauren! I will most definitely take my dog back to her if I need a sitter again!”

“Ace had the best time. Was very eager and willing to answer any and all questions. Very comfortable and peaceful environment for our pup. Plenty of room and great facilities. Will definitely be a repeat customer.”

“This was Jays first visit with Dustin. Jay loved it and we are looking forward to his next visit. Dustin was very responsive to questions, communicated with us during the visit and overall made the process very easy. 5 starts.”

About: Hugh L. III (nickname Trey) To comfort any animal brings comfort to me. I will do anything to ensure health and happiness for your pets even if it is merely sitting with them and providing company and love. I have experience with administering medication, dog walks, continuing a training regimen set by owner or introducing new behavioral solutions, caring for high anxiety animals with patience and gentleness. Also I have experience in caring for geriatric and special needs animals: diaper changing, getting pets in and out of wheelchairs, and care and cleaning for incontinence. I’m currently working Monday through Friday 6:00am to 2:00pm, I get an hour lunch from 11:00 to 12:00pm so I could check on animals during lunch and then of course be with them at all times outside of this work schedule, I’m off Saturday and Sunday. I will be offering all services except for boarding in my own home because present circumstances prevent me from doing so. If I sit for you in your home I will treat it with the utmost respect and abide by any and all guidelines you provide including cleaning up after any pet incident, bathing, playtime, etc.

About: Professional, Empathic Petcare 🥰🐾 From an Expert who worked with veterinarians for 3 years and has been grooming dogs for 11 years (that's me ❤️) and special interest in holistic medicine and nutrition. My petsitting and grooming focuses on the health and emotional well-being of your baby. They'll be having a fun vacation in my home or have their fun pet nanny come to them🥰 🐾 Pet care fits into my daily schedule very well, as I make my own hours, leaving me more time to prioritize your fur baby 🥰 They'll be staying in my comfortable, 2 bed 1 bath home on 1/2 acre with fenced in backyard. Not to be left unattended in the yard since it is made from garden fencing, and small dogs unable to climb fencing is preferred. Fence climbing dogs should not come here because there is a fast road adjacent to the slower road that I live on. When I leave to run errands I will sequester my cats in another room from the dogs. I go with the flow, and understand every animal will behave differently so please let me know if your baby has any special needs or habits!

About: Dedicated and trusted dog professional with 20+ years of experience offering knowledgeable, structured, attentive, and reliable care for dogs of all ages, behaviors, and routines. Pet care isn’t an add-on to my schedule—it is my schedule. I structure my days around walks, feedings, training, and enrichment so dogs get consistent care, calm handling, and predictable routines. Each visit is planned, not rushed, and adjusted to the dog’s needs, energy level, and household expectations. Weekly, I build in flexibility for longer stays, special needs, and last-minute requests while maintaining reliability and communication. Dogs thrive on consistency, and my routine is built to provide exactly that. I provide structured, attentive care tailored to each pet and household—whether in my home or a client’s. In a client’s home, I follow the pet’s established routine for feeding, walks, medications, and enrichment to minimize stress. I focus on calm, confident handling, safety, and clear communication, with updates after each visit. In my home, pets receive a quiet, controlled environment with supervised interactions, structured rest, exercise, and individualized attention. I don’t do chaos or overcrowding—safety, cleanliness, and consistency come first. Across all services, I prioritize reliability, observation, and proactive care so issues are addressed early, not after they become problems.
“Dustin was absolutely amazing! He took such great care of Juno. I didn’t worry one second about her. He kept me informed throughout her stay, let her run and play, and pampered her better than I do! I can’t recommend Dustin for pet sitting and boarding highly enough.”

About: I have worked at a vets office going on 8 years now as a vet technician. I studied animal science at Auburn University. I have dog/cat sat for several years. I work an early shift as a superintendent. With my schedule I would still be able to do early early morning around 3/3:30 and mid afternoon check ins. I have 4 dogs that love to have friends to play with. I have a fenced in yard, but walk mine daily. I am a few minutes from Albertville’s Dog Park where my dogs love to go run and play.
About: I’ve taken care of animals since the young age of 10 and have always been an animal lover of all animals and have owned several dogs. I have always trained my own from potty training, crate training, to shaking hands, and have always done amazing with them. I’ve rescued several animals and strays. I absolutely love all fur babies and enjoy taking them on hikes and would love to take your fur baby on a hike or to play fetch. I work a full time job Monday-Wednesday with having a very short work day on Thursdays. I always have the spare time throughout my off days and will be able to take good care of your fur babies at all times. I have a huge yard with one fur baby that could keep yours company. My fur baby is friendly and would love to have a play date. I also can easily crate your animal if i ever needed to do so.
About: With over 10 years in pet sitting experience and 5 training and handling working dogs, I am confident in my ability to responsibly care for your loved one. I’ve centred my life around dogs and would love to have yours join! I have a special interest in animal husbandry, I am skilled in nail cuts, coat maintenance, and teeth cleans. I can accommodate nutrition needs. Skilled puppy raiser! Specializing in proper socialization, crate training, house training, and potty training. I have trained and worked with security dogs on patrol and in detection profiles. We currently train and compete in the German protection sport, Schutzhund. Very competent with working breeds. I work from home so the dogs fit into my daily routine. My dogs and I enjoy morning walks of the property, afternoon play time, and evening family activities. Your dogs will fit right in with our daily lifestyle as if they are part of our family. I have a small fenced yard, secure outdoor kennels, and about 2 acres of open property for dogs to enjoy. Dogs are always fully supervised when not in secure areas. I offer recall training with guest dogs in order to allow them full use of the property safely. Boarding dogs will sleep inside my house in their designated crate and then be included in family life and activities during the days. My personal dogs also sleep in crates. I believe this is important for dogs to have their own personal space to relax and feel safe enough to spend the night. Temperament dependent, dogs will be rotated in and out of daily life with the use of crates. However no dog will spend hours on end in crates. There is a rotation system ensuring everyone gets attention and exercise with time to be out and stretch.
About: I’ve had several different kinds of animals over my almost 30 years of life, and I consider myself a HUGE animal lover. I’ll take care of your babies as if they were my own… I’d own them all if I could! I work full time during the week, but I am available Friday-Sunday for boarding, or walks any time of the day! I’d love to get to know your fur babies! I have a fenced in backyard, with a doggy door to my back door- that can easily be closed off/shut. I have a spare bedroom so your baby could have its own room while visiting, or can easily spend the night in my room & share each other’s company!
About: Hi! My name is Sammi and I have 12+ years of taking care of all varieties of animals. I currently own 2 dogs (1 aussie and 1 recently rescued great pyreneese) , 2 cats, 4 horses and 2 reptiles of my own. I have worked with rescues, shelters and non-profits in the past so I am skilled in caring for animals with all kinds of needs. I also work from home with a flexible schedule so I am able to accommodate special requests and special needs animals during the week for those that need more attention. I look forward to speaking with you about how I can best help you and your animals! I currently work from home with flexible hours so am available usually from 8am to 8pm each day, with flexibility where needed. I currently walk my own dogs a mile or two every other day, with them being walked on the property every 4 hours for exercise. I live on 8 acres with woods so plenty of room for dogs to run around and play. I currently do not have a fenced in yard, but have multiple tether setups and/or long line leashes to walk dogs on and let them roam a bit while controlled. My 2 dogs are males who are friendly with others and love to play outside in the backyard. Since I am home during the day, all animals get lots of cuddles in my house (allowed on furniture) and constant interaction of bones, toys, tug of war, toys etc. I do have separate areas that dogs can be crated in alone if preferred. I do also have 2 cats that are dog friendly but have their own room they can be closed off in if needed.
