“Hailie was awesome with Whiskey! She was communicative and sent us pics while we were out of town, and worked with us on pickup times. We'll def be coming back to her if we need someone to sit our girl again!”
“Kelsey and her family were so great watching our dog during our extended vacation! Our dog came home happy and exhausted! They were very communicative throughout the stay and sent pictures. They also promptly dropped off and picked up our dog to the minute they said they would. Would definitely trust and leave our dog with Kelsey again!”
“Our boys became an extension to Sean and Dianna from the start. They loved playing in the pool and making new friends so much that I don’t think they missed us at all! And I wouldn’t want it any other way!!! We were provided updates of their happenings throughout the day by pictures, videos, and messages. It was so comforting to have absolute peace of mind that my pups were happy. I will 100% be booking with them again.”
“Amber was a sweet, patient and caring sitter for our senior dog with lots of special needs. She cared for Ellie as if she was her own and was happy to accommodate all of Ellie's needs. Amber kept us updated on how she was doing through out the stay. We would definitely use Amber again as it was clear Ellie was comfortable there.”
“Dasha (and her little lady) were fantastic! Not only did she take great care of my 150-lb beast of a lapdog, she also took great care of my home. My house and my pup…both were like I hadn’t been gone at all. It’s obvious she treats the dogs in her care with lots of love and laughter. I can’t recommend her strongly enough!”
“Erin kept both of my dogs while I was on a trip. She sent me pictures and updates on them which I really appreciated. My girls seemed super happy when I picked them up. They were definitely well taken care of!”
“Kelly took such great care of our little girl over the weekend. She sent plenty of pics. Abby looked happy and comfortable in spite of her separation anxiety. Thank you, Kellly!”
“Haley was so accommodating to our dog. She sent frequent updates with pictures and videos. It was our dogs first time getting boarded so I was a little nervous , but my anxiety went away with Haley.”
“Steven welcomed our two sister mini-dachshunds into his house for a week while my family went on vacation. As these are senior dogs (15+), they do have some special needs, but Steven handled both with care and attention while sending us daily updates with pictures. We are so grateful for Steven and his family for the care they gave to our babies.”
“Shume did a wonderful job taking care of Sophie! We picked her up after having a bath, and she was warn out from playing with friends so much! I would not only recommend Shume, but I would also use her for all my future doggie needs!”
“Brittany took exceptional care of our 2 Cavalier King Charles. They loved playing with her dogs and it was comforting to know they had a safe yard with plenty of playtime. She was able to accommodate my early drop off and late pick up. I felt very comfortable leaving my girls with Brittany and I highly recommend her services.”
“From the moment I contacted them they got right back to me and we're very responsive. That is important to me. They kept us updated the entire time with pictures comments and even a couple of video clips. This was our first time but we will definitely use them again in the future. We felt our dog was truly being cared for and loved and taken care of which is the most important part.”
“Wonderful dog sitter! She is very reliable, clear with communication and attentive to my dog. Penny was happy in every photo that was sent, it was clear she was well cared for, and comfortable in the home. Highly recommend!”
About: I’m an animal person through and through. I’ve been around dogs since I was a little boy at the age of 5. I’ve taken care of family, neighbor, and even stray pets/animals and take pride in my ability to get on the good side of any creature. Firm believer that there is no such thing in a bad dog, only misunderstood ones. I have one dog (the handsome black lab), but sometimes have my mother in law’s two dogs over. They’re all well behaved and sociable. I work from home and typically have a lot of spare time in my day to take care of pets. I make sure to take my dog to the park everyday and see to it that he gets proper exercise and will be sure to make sure your dogs get the same. I don’t go anywhere most weekends so I’m available for boarding and anything else more or less all the time. I live in a 4 bedroom house with a big yard and sunroom so plenty of space for play. I have several parks located within ten minutes of me and walking trails nearby too so your pup will never be bored.
“Brett did a great job with Emmett! He was well cared for, got to walk, and play with other dogs. Brett responded to messages quickly and was easy to reach. Will definitely use Brett again!”
“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”
“Belinda and James went the extra mile to make our anxious dog feel comfortable. We truley felt like they treated her as one of there own. We looked forward to all of the messages and pictures they sent to us while we were away.”
“My Mila Jean had a great time, especially getting lots of outside time to play, and was well taken care of. Annie is a kind and wonderful sitter with great accommodations for your fur baby’s stay!”

“Debbie helped us out with our cat while we were out of town. She followed all of our instructions and I felt at ease knowing she was coming to the house and checking on her.”

Always made sure they had food, clean water and that their litter was clean. She took pictures of them everyday. I knew my fur babies were in good hands from the first day I met her. I will definitely be using her again in the future.”
About: Hi I’m Hailie, I have 2 ferrets who have their own room in my home. I also have a fur baby named flounder! I’m a dog lover with 4+ years of hands-on experience in doggy daycares and grooming salons, and I currently work part-time at a daycare. Basically—I speak dog fluently 🐶 I’m used to all kinds of pups, from high-energy goofballs to shy or anxious dogs who need a calm, patient approach. Whether your dog is staying in my home or heading out for a walk, they’ll get lots of attention, structure, and love! What you can expect: • 🐾 A safe, comfy home environment • 🐾 Walks, playtime, and plenty of affection • 🐾 Someone who understands dog behavior and body language • 🐾 Updates & photos so you can relax while you’re away I treat every dog like they’re my own (yes, that includes talking to them like a best friend). Can’t wait to meet your pup! 🐾 Pet care is already a big part of my daily routine. I currently work part-time at a dog daycare, so my day naturally revolves around caring for dogs, understanding their needs, and making sure they’re safe and happy. On days I’m home, I structure my schedule around the pets in my care—making time for walks, playtime, feeding, and lots of attention. For boarding, dogs in my home get a consistent routine with regular potty breaks, exercise, and a calm, comfortable environment. My home is a calm, clean, dog-friendly space where your pup can relax and be themselves. I stick to their normal routine as much as possible—feeding, potty breaks, walks, all of it—so they feel comfortable and settled!
About: Who better to cat sit than someone who owns cats and truly understands how much they are a part of your family? I have 2 myself that I adopted from the pet hospital I worked at and I cat sit frequently for coworkers because they have seen the love and care that I give to their pets is just the same as I would treat mine!
“Daisy has taken care of our fur babies for us on two different vacations. It is so nice to be able to leave them in our home and have them not be stressed and exhausted from boarding. Daisy does a great job!”

“Cassandra was awesome dropping in for home visits with our two big and energetic dogs for a long weekend. We always have a little anxiety leaving them at home for more than a day, but Cassandra took such good care of them and kept us updated with pictures during each visit. We really appreciated the constant communication and will definitely choose Cassandra to take care of our dogs in the future.”

About: I’ve had dogs most of my life, and I love meeting new ones and learning their quirks. I will treat your babies as if they were my own. I have experience pet sitting growing up as well as working 5 months full time at a kennel before going to college. My home is 1 story with a flat fenced in yard. This is perfect for young dogs through senior dogs. This is my only job, so I have lots of time to dedicate to caring for your pets! I also have a reliable vehicle which makes it easier to get to and from your home or to the vet in case of emergency. I have a single story home with a fenced in yard. We have one very sweet, friendly, senior cat. I can follow your wishes to the best of my ability. And I’m happy to discuss any questions. My pets have always been allowed on furniture and in my bed. But if you prefer them not to, I will do my best to meet your needs.
“Emma had a great time at daycare at Makaylah’s home yesterday. She was well taken care of and played with Makaylah’s pups ,happily expending some of her energy. Emma even slept in this morning! A rarity! Thank you for taking such good care of her. We will be back!”
About: I’m 31 years old, a single mom, and the owner of Daisy’s Creative Cuts & Colors LLC, as well as a REALTOR and photography business owner. I have a genuine love for animals, and because I spend a lot of time at home, I’m able to be with them almost all of the time. I can groom the dogs in my care so they go home fresh and clean, and I also work on light training while they’re with me. This is my career, and I take great pride in the work I do. I’m willing to care for dogs that others may turn away, because I truly believe dogs are incredibly intelligent and intuitive animals. I see dogs and cats as very special, and I treat every fur baby as if they were my own. If you choose me to care for your pet, you won’t regret it. I also love meeting my dogs’ families, I’ve met some amazing people and formed long-term friendships through this journey. I spend plenty of time with my animals I keep since I work from home a lot. I update you on how they are through the day as well. I have a fenced in yard. We will be outside most of the time. We go for walks and to the park. I also send pictures everyday so you can feel closer to your fur babies.
About: What sets me apart from other sitters is my background in healthcare and my natural attention to detail. As a nursing student and soon-to-be hospital worker, I’m very experienced in providing attentive, compassionate care — which easily carries over to how I care for pets. I’m patient, reliable, and comfortable following detailed care instructions, including administering medications if needed. I also have experience with both young, energetic pets and senior pets who may need a little extra gentleness and support. I genuinely love building a bond with every animal I care for, treating them like family while keeping their safety, happiness, and well-being my top priority. Pet care fits naturally into my daily and weekly routine because I truly enjoy spending time with animals. I am a nursing student who will be starting a hospital job on May 12, working from 3 PM to 11:30 PM. Until then, I have open availability to care for pets. Even after I begin work, I’ll be available during mornings, early afternoons, and late nights for check-ins, walks, and pet sitting. I start classes on May 27, but I only have one in-person class from 12–1 PM on Tuesdays and Thursdays, leaving plenty of time to dedicate to caring for pets. I’m responsible, nurturing, and attentive—qualities that come naturally from my healthcare background—and I will treat your pets like they are my own. When caring for pets in my home or a client’s home, I make sure to follow any specific instructions provided by the owner, including feeding schedules, walk times, medication administration, and any special routines or preferences. I pay close attention to each pet’s behavior to make sure they are happy, comfortable, and safe. I also love giving pets plenty of playtime, affection, and exercise based on their energy level. Cleanliness and safety are important to me, so I always make sure their space stays clean, and I update owners regularly with messages and photos for peace of mind. With my nursing background, I’m very detail-oriented and comfortable providing extra care if needed.

“This morning I dropped off a wild child (my pup Emma), she was so excited to be at daycare today! This afternoon I picked up a calm, happy, and totally cared for pup. Emma had a great time at Fortune’s home playing with her pups and really enjoyed playing with her son and his friend. Thank you for watching Emma!”

“Juyne was so kind and loving to my puppy. It was my first time trying someone watching my puppy in their home so I was nervous. They treated her like she was their own puppy and loved on her all day. I appreciated all the photos Juyne sent me through the day so I could see how much fun they were having.”
“Ashley was the best sitter imaginable for our GSD puppy. She sent tons of photos and most importantly, she knew exactly how to care for our pup. GSD’s are special, and Ashley was well-versed of his natural tendencies especially prey drive and protection. We are so grateful for the wonderful time for our sweet pup and she gave us total peace of mind knowing he was in very capable hands. Will re-book with Ashley next time we come to Huntsville!”

“First time using Colleen for daycare, she did a wonderful job with our little picky guy. Teddy had a great time playing and snuggling each day. Communication each day went smoothly. Colleen made drop off and pickup a breeze. We will definitely use her again.”

About: I have owned and taken care of pets ever since I was 9 years old. I have trained my last 3 dogs that I have and two of them live with me now. I also make homemade dog treats for my two babies so I know exactly what it is they are consuming. I am a part time baker and work mostly during the mornings so I would be able to see your pet in the morning before i have work and be able to come home a little after lunchtime to take them out, take them on walks/runs. I can also be there overnight to insure their safety and keep them from making a mess. I have a fenced in back yard and two very friendly dogs. one is 3 years old and the other is almost 1. I have a big back yard so enough room for the dogs to run around and have fun playing with one another! I love taking dogs out for walks. I know not everyone has a fenced in back yard or one in general so taking dogs on walks and allowing them to get out there and blow off some energy. I also make homemade dog treats for my animals so I know they aren't consuming things that can cause health problems down the road. I also have allergy tested both my dogs so that way I know what treats I am making them are for their consumption.

About: Hi! 🐾 I’m a lifelong animal lover with 6+ years of hands-on experience caring for dogs and cats! I started my career in animal care as a veterinary receptionist, eventually working my way into kennel care and hands-on animal handling. I wanted to take my experience even further, so I went back to school and graduated as an Approved Veterinary Assistant in January 2025. I’m also a Certified Professional Groom Technician, giving me experience with everything from everyday pet care to grooming and handling. Over the years, I’ve worked with dogs of all sizes, personalities, and energy levels — from tiny couch potatoes to giant breeds and everything in between. Shy, nervous, or rescue dogs are absolutely no problem for me! I’m patient and comfortable letting pets warm up to me at their own pace. High-energy pups, timid dogs, counter surfers, goofy troublemakers… I’ve probably met one like them! 😂 I’ve also cared for plenty of cats, including the sweet ones and the spicy kitties who prefer to keep their humans on their toes. 😹 I understand that every pet has their own personality and needs, and I take their safety, comfort, and routine seriously. I genuinely love what I do and feel incredibly lucky that caring for animals is something I get to do for a living. When your pets are with me, they’ll get plenty of attention, patience, love, and care — and probably a few extra treats and belly rubs along the way. 💕🐾 Pet care is a big part of my life, and I’m fortunate to have a very flexible schedule! I’m generally available throughout the week and am happy to work with your pet’s individual routine and needs. Whether you need regular visits, occasional care, or help while you’re out of town, I’m happy to be there for your pets. 🐾 I love being able to make pet care part of my everyday routine, and I’m always excited to meet a new furry friend! Your pet’s safety and comfort always come first! 🐾 With 6+ years of hands-on animal-care experience, including veterinary medicine, boarding, daycare, grooming, and pet sitting, I’m comfortable caring for pets with all kinds of personalities and needs. When caring for pets in their home, I follow their normal routines as closely as possible, including feeding, medications or special instructions, walks, playtime, and plenty of attention. I’m respectful of your home and treat it with the same care I would my own. I also make sure doors, gates, and other areas are secure so pets stay safe while I’m there. I know that some pets are nervous around new people, so I never force interaction. I’m patient and allow them to warm up to me at their own pace. I pay close attention to their behavior and will communicate with you if I notice anything unusual or concerning. My goal is for your pets to feel safe, comfortable, loved, and cared for while you’re away — and for you to have peace of mind knowing they’re in good hands. 💕🐶🐱
About: I’ve cared for birds, chickens, ducks, and dogs—there’s nothing I can’t handle! I’ve wanted to be a vet since Kindergarten, and pet sitting is the closest I’ve gotten so far. I am a college student so I might be out of your house for 2 hours or so but I’ll always let you know. I’m always available to watch the babies. I make sure to take the dogs out frequently and mostly love on the pups if I can’t cuddle your dog/dogs please don’t book me.
About: I’ve been around dogs my entire life and can’t imagine a home without them. With over 25 years of experience, I’ve cared for dogs of all ages, from energetic puppies learning their manners to senior pets who need a little extra love and patience. I’m comfortable with training, daily routines, and making sure every dog feels safe, happy, and cared for. To me, pets are family, and I’ll treat yours with the same love and attention as my own. I’m home full-time with plenty of flexibility and reliable transportation, making it easy to provide dependable care whenever it’s needed. I genuinely enjoy helping both people and pets, and I love taking breaks for belly rubs, walks, and plenty of snuggles. I have a spacious fenced yard where pets can safely play and explore, along with a friendly dog companion for those who enjoy company (or quiet time if they prefer being on their own). I can also crate pets if needed. My priority is making sure every pet feels comfortable, cared for, and loved while having a fun, positive experience.
“Our dog Tyson has never been boarded without his companion who passed away a few years ago so we opt for him to stay home when we need care. Jacqueline did an excellent job caring for and loving on our senior dog while we were away. We will definitely book with her again in the future!”
“Melanie is wonderful! Prompt, polite, and so kind-hearted! I will definitely ask her to walk our big dog again. I’m always nervous meeting new dog-sitters, but I’m so glad I took a chance! :)”
About: I’m 31 years old, a single mom, and the owner of Daisy’s Creative Cuts & Colors LLC, as well as a REALTOR and photography business owner. I have a genuine love for animals, and because I spend a lot of time at home, I’m able to be with them almost all of the time. I can groom the dogs in my care so they go home fresh and clean, and I also work on light training while they’re with me. This is my career, and I take great pride in the work I do. I’m willing to care for dogs that others may turn away, because I truly believe dogs are incredibly intelligent and intuitive animals. I see dogs and cats as very special, and I treat every fur baby as if they were my own. If you choose me to care for your pet, you won’t regret it. I also love meeting my dogs’ families, I’ve met some amazing people and formed long-term friendships through this journey. I spend plenty of time with my animals I keep since I work from home a lot. I update you on how they are through the day as well. I have a fenced in yard. We will be outside most of the time. We go for walks and to the park. I also send pictures everyday so you can feel closer to your fur babies.

“Our boys became an extension to Sean and Dianna from the start. They loved playing in the pool and making new friends so much that I don’t think they missed us at all! And I wouldn’t want it any other way!!! We were provided updates of their happenings throughout the day by pictures, videos, and messages. It was so comforting to have absolute peace of mind that my pups were happy. I will 100% be booking with them again.”

They kept us updated the entire time with pictures comments and even a couple of video clips. This was our first time but we will definitely use them again in the future. We felt our dog was truly being cared for and loved and taken care of which is the most important part.”

About: I’m an animal person through and through. I’ve been around dogs since I was a little boy at the age of 5. I’ve taken care of family, neighbor, and even stray pets/animals and take pride in my ability to get on the good side of any creature. Firm believer that there is no such thing in a bad dog, only misunderstood ones. I have one dog (the handsome black lab), but sometimes have my mother in law’s two dogs over. They’re all well behaved and sociable. I work from home and typically have a lot of spare time in my day to take care of pets. I make sure to take my dog to the park everyday and see to it that he gets proper exercise and will be sure to make sure your dogs get the same. I don’t go anywhere most weekends so I’m available for boarding and anything else more or less all the time. I live in a 4 bedroom house with a big yard and sunroom so plenty of space for play. I have several parks located within ten minutes of me and walking trails nearby too so your pup will never be bored.
“Brett did a great job with Emmett! He was well cared for, got to walk, and play with other dogs. Brett responded to messages quickly and was easy to reach. Will definitely use Brett again!”
“Belinda and James went the extra mile to make our anxious dog feel comfortable. We truley felt like they treated her as one of there own. We looked forward to all of the messages and pictures they sent to us while we were away.”

“Jamie was a wonderful sitter! She kept in touch with pictures and updates while we were away. Our dog seemed much happier and calmer when we picked her up. We feel an in-their-home boarder is the way to go! Highly recommend Jamie!”
About: I’ve had dogs most of my life, and I love meeting new ones and learning their quirks. I will treat your babies as if they were my own. I have experience pet sitting growing up as well as working 5 months full time at a kennel before going to college. My home is 1 story with a flat fenced in yard. This is perfect for young dogs through senior dogs. This is my only job, so I have lots of time to dedicate to caring for your pets! I also have a reliable vehicle which makes it easier to get to and from your home or to the vet in case of emergency. I have a single story home with a fenced in yard. We have one very sweet, friendly, senior cat. I can follow your wishes to the best of my ability. And I’m happy to discuss any questions. My pets have always been allowed on furniture and in my bed. But if you prefer them not to, I will do my best to meet your needs.
“My dog had a blast with Kristy. If you want your dog to be tired out, she is the one to book. Very flexible and communicative. She sent many pictures of my dog while I was away. Will definitely book her again!”
“I came into town later than intended and could not drop my dog at the doggie hotel. I contacted Holly and she was very accommodating. I truly appreciate the care and love she provided to Skye. She made a stressful situation less stressful.”
“James & Emily were great with our Honey Jo! They sent us pictures, had great communication, and walked Honey during her stay with them. We were traveling by plane so our trip timing was up in the air, but James & Emily were flexible with our drop off & pick up times. Would love to use them again!”
