Krystal sent us updates and photos the whole time we were away which we loved! It was wonderful not having to worry about our dog while we were away as we knew she was in such great care with Krystal. I highly recommend Krystal!”

I was updated daily, however much I requested. I only had to provide food and anything else I specifically wanted to bring. Charlie had an extra kennel and plenty of toys. He did walks with Ryder and made sure he got all that lab energy out. We’re back home now and Ryder’s going to sleep for a few days. He’s worn out from his great weekend!! I’m looking forward to using Charlie and his family again.”

About: I have been around dogs my entire life. My passion and love for dogs inspired me to start a dog rescue a few years ago. Since starting the rescue, I have gained experience with dogs of all different ages, breeds, and sizes. I have also learned to handle a variety of different behavior and health issues. I have experience with aggressive, fearful, and anxious dogs. I am confident in handling just about any type of dog. I can be available most days of the week. My schedule is flexible for the most part, so I will do my best to accommodate you. While caring for your pet, I will do my best to treat them as you would. I will give them plenty of love and attention, but also be sure to set the same boundaries for them as you do. For example, if you don't allow them on the couch then I will do the same. I will also send you plenty of updates on how they are doing while I am with them.

About: I have cared for animals of all kinds, dogs, cats, horses, cows, you name it, since I was little on my grandparent’s farm. I can get along with them all, from high energy to couch nappers. Going on walks or runs is something I do often with my pit mix, so I welcome that as well! I am currently a senior at Troy and interning at a school. I am free on weekdays after school hours and some weekends. On weekends I am not in Troy, I will be around the Dothan area. With an extensive pet care background, I am big on doing whatever your pet feels comfortable with. I know personalities can vary, so I try to accommodate how I interact with them based on that.
“Ariel was super nice to work with and took great care of my cats while we were out of town. She provided pictures and updates so I always knew how they were doing during her drop-in visits. I will definitely be booking with her again!”
About: Over 10 years of experience has taught me the ins and outs of keeping your furry friend happy and healthy. I can ensure a stress-free experience for both you and your pet! My pets are a cherished part of my daily and weekly routine! Each morning starts with a walk or playtime session, keeping them happy and energized. Throughout the day, I sprinkle in quick check-ins to ensure they have fresh water, a clean litter box (if applicable), and maybe even a quick cuddle session. Evenings often involve another walk or playtime, followed by feeding and quality bonding time. Weekends can be filled with longer adventures like hikes or trips to the dog park. Your pet's comfort is my top priority! When caring for your furry friend in their own home, I seamlessly integrate into their daily routine. Mornings begin with fresh food, water refills, and a walk or playtime session to keep them energized. Throughout the day, I provide potty breaks, playtime, and cuddles (of course!), ensuring they feel loved and secure. Evenings involve another walk or playtime, followed by feeding and quality bonding time. This consistent schedule minimizes stress for your pet while you're away.

About: My name is Lexie and I’m a huge animal lover. I’ve been around animals my whole life and have always had pets in my home. Currently I have 2 dogs and 2 cats and I consider them my babies. I also have 2 children who love animals. We will treat your baby like our own. I’ve hired pet sitters to take care of my animals while I’m away so I know just how important it is to find the right person to care for your fur babies. They will be in good hands with me. Going on walks, playing fetch & giving a good tummy rub are some of my specialties. My dogs are older so I’m well trained in the art of hiding medicine in treats if needed. Also, during each visit with your pet, I’d be happy to text a picture or video to keep you updated on your pets happiness :)
“Allie is super caring and our fur babies love her. She took great care of them. She kept on schedule with the drop ins and communicated every day. Give her a call you won't be disappointed. Thank you Allie!”

Perfect for high energy dogs - Houstonville
About: I grew up on a farm and have always had animals and especially dogs and cats. I am a retired nurse and have gone from caring for people to caring for pets. I will love and care for your babies while you are away. I am a retired nurse who has a lot of free time. I have friends who are pet/house sitters. I love animals and I have kept and cared for family and friends pets while owners were away. Never worry about your pets again when you need to be away. I have a golden retriever that has a super sweet disposition and he had been around other pets and plays well with others. I will only care for 1 pet at a time unless pets come from same family.
“This was my first time using rover and not gonna lie I was kinda nervous with the idea of leaving cooper with someone I didn’t really know but Jennifer was so nice and communicated amazing from the very beginning. Cooper had the most amazing day and has been asleep since I picked him up, which as a puppy owner many of you can agree is the most amazing time to be a puppy owner lol but over all 10/10 experience.”
About: I have had a dog for as long as I can remember. I grew up taking care of our family dogs and would occasionally dog sit for others. I am able to give your dog the care they need in order to be comfortable and enjoy their time while you are away. I am currently a student at USA. I am home most of the day, when I am not in class. I live 4 minutes from campus so your dog will never be left alone for more than 2 hours at a time. I only have class once a day. I have a fenced in back yard and a golden doodle of my own that is very playful and gets along with other dogs very well. We go on walks daily and have lots of playtime.
“What a wonderful person. Came through for us last minute, sent so many photos, treated my baby like her own. It was my first time leaving him and she made it so pleasant.”
“Amber and her precious family welcomed Tucker and were so attentive. Amber sent me a few pictures and had him all ready for pick up. He seemed to have had a great time:). I will definitely book with Amber again!”
“Highly recommend! Chance had a great time the last three days with Samantha and her family. He was exhausted each afternoon from all the play and exercise. We wish we could come every day! Will be back!!”
About: Former veterinary technician and practice manager of 10 years, I have obtained a large amount of experience with multiple species and needs of animals. I’ve spent a lot of time pet sitting, working with rescues / fosters, and giving my own furry crew love & care. My husband and I relocated with the USCG down to Mobile in 2023 and since then I’ve been spending my free time working at HopHounds dog park downtown, as well as, volunteering with a few local rescues. With my experience and overwhelming big heart for animals, I promise to ensure that your pet feels right at home and gets the love and attention they deserve while you're away. My husband and I have recently relocated back Typically, I work only a few days per week with the ability to take time off when needed for fur baby care! I can fit house sitting, boarding, and drop in's into my daily routine easily to ensure that the times you feel your pet needs care the most, happen on schedule. I'm available most weekends and holidays, as well as, early mornings and late evening care. My booking settings do advise a 3 day notice-but please feel free to reach out with anything last minute and I will do my best to help! I offer pet transportation and grooming in addition to boarding/drop in services. This includes but is not limited to nail trims, bathing, and basic hair/fur trimming, Please let me know any questions you have regarding either. I live in a pet friendly neighborhood with lots of areas to walk and play, as well as, having a home with a large fenced in backyard, screened porch with fans, and toys galore! My husband and I have three, very social, doggos who love visitors. However, if your pet feels anxious around others, I do have 4 bedrooms available to provide them their own space and security. I am always happy to provide a meet & greet beforehand. If you're interested in boarding services and would also like to schedule a meet & greet with my fur kids-please let me know! Boarding can be stressful for pets-especially meeting new friends. I'm happy to help make that process easier in any way I can.
About: Dogs have been a part of my life since I was born, and I can’t imagine life without them. I currently have two dogs of my own and have spent years caring for family dogs as well. Providing excellent care for dogs is something I genuinely enjoy, and I take pride in making sure they feel safe, loved, and well attended to. Whether it’s playtime, walks, cuddles, or simply keeping them company, I treat every dog like a member of the family. I am comfortable caring for dogs of all ages, from energetic puppies to senior dogs who may need a little extra patience and attention. I am also comfortable administering medications and caring for dogs who may be recovering from illness or injury. I understand the importance of following care instructions closely and paying attention to each dog’s unique needs, routine, and personality. My goal is to provide reliable, attentive care so you can feel confident that your dog is in good hands while you’re away. As a stay-at-home mom, I am home throughout most of the day and able to dedicate plenty of time, attention, and care to the pets in my home. Whether your pet enjoys playtime, walks, cuddles, or simply having someone nearby, I strive to make them feel comfortable, safe, and loved while you’re away. With a flexible schedule, I am able to accommodate feeding routines, medication administration, and other special care needs to ensure your pet receives the individualized care they deserve. Your pet’s safety and comfort are my top priorities. I have a securely fenced yard for supervised outdoor time and two friendly pets of my own. I understand that not every pet enjoys socializing, so I have the ability to separate pets and provide their own quiet space when needed. I am also comfortable using kennels or following your pet’s normal routine and preferences. Pets in my care are treated like family and will receive plenty of love, attention, playtime, and snuggles while staying in a safe, welcoming environment.
About: Hi, I’m a lifelong animal lover and recently retired, which means I have the time, energy, and heart to dedicate to your pet’s needs. Whether it’s a leisurely walk, a check-in while you’re at work, or keeping your pet company while you’re away, I’m here to help. I’ve always had dogs and cats in my life and truly understand the importance of patience, care, and attention—especially for pets who are a little shy or take time to warm up. I’m pet-centric in my approach, which means I prioritize your furry friend’s comfort, routines, and happiness. Based in Fairhope, Alabama, I offer dog walking, drop-ins, and house sitting with open availability. If you’re looking for someone reliable, kind, and experienced, I’d love to meet you and your pet! Following the lead of your dog, and your wishes, we will create a fun routine of walking, exploring and play throughout the day to maximize our time together. I will care for your pet as if it were my own: with love and respect, and lots of fun. I will walk with your pet at their pace, stopping for smells or running full speed ahead.
“Cheyenne is such a jewel! Very welcoming to my pup and I. Dallas enjoyed her and her family! It made me feel good that I could leave him with such a lovable family. Thank you so much!”
“Kristin's care is like home away from home. We could tell that it was a good experience as Bella had a very waggy tail :) Will reach out again when we need daycare or an overnight stay!”
About: 🐾 Welcome to Our Home Away From Home! 🐾 I believe every pet deserves to be treated like family. When your furry friend stays with me, they’ll receive the same love, patience, and attention that I give my own dogs. Building trust with both pets and their owners is the most important part of what I do, and I strive to make every visit safe, fun, and stress-free. I encourage meet-and-greets for new clients whenever possible so we can get to know each other, discuss your pet’s routine, answer any questions, and make sure everyone is comfortable before their stay. Boarding Boarding takes place in my home, where your pet will be part of our daily life not left alone in a kennel. I stay home full-time, so your dog will have plenty of supervision, playtime, potty breaks, cuddles, and companionship throughout the day. I have a fully fenced yard where dogs can safely run, explore, and burn off energy. My own two dogs love making new friends: * Pumpkin is my “teenager who acts like a senior.” She’s laid-back, sweet, and enjoys relaxing just as much as playing. * Molly is a six-month-old puppy with lots of energy who loves to play and make new friends. Whether your pet enjoys zoomies in the yard or curling up for a nap, I’ll do my best to match their comfort level and routine. Personalized Care Every pet is different, and every family has different expectations. I’ll happily follow your feeding schedule, medication instructions, exercise preferences, and any special routines that help your pet feel at home. My goal is to keep their experience as familiar and comfortable as possible while you’re away. You’ll also receive updates and photos, because I know how important it is to know your pet is happy and well cared for. My Experience Animals have always been a huge part of my life. Along with professional experience caring for pets, I grew up helping care for neighborhood pets and family animals. Those experiences taught me that patience, consistency, and genuine love make all the difference. When you book with me, you’re not just finding someone to watch your pet, you’re choosing someone who will welcome them into the family and treat them with the love and care they deserve. I can’t wait to meet you and your furry family member! 🐶❤️ Pet care fits naturally into my daily routine, allowing me to provide consistent attention, walks, feeding, playtime, and plenty of affection. I plan my schedule to ensure every pet receives the time and care they deserve. Your pet’s safety and comfort are my top priorities. I carefully follow your instructions for feeding, medications, routines, and exercise while maintaining a clean, secure environment. I have a fully fenced-in yard for safe outdoor play, and my two friendly dogs adore other fur babies and enjoy making new friends. I believe in building trust with both pets and their owners through reliable care, patience, and regular updates. 🐾
About: “Unlike many sitters, I’m home all day which means your dog gets consistent attention, care, and companionship. I maintain a peaceful, structured home environment and only take a limited number of dogs to ensure each one receives personalized love and supervision.” “Being home full-time allows me to easily incorporate pet care into my daily routine. Your dog will be included in our day with regular walks, playtime, and constant supervision in a relaxed, loving home environment “Dogs in my care enjoy a spacious, fully fenced backyard for safe outdoor play and exercise. I live in a quiet, safe neighborhood ideal for stress-free walks, and I’m located less than a mile from Loxley Municipal Park for extra activity and enrichment opportunities.”

“Alyssa is fantastic! She has walked my dog multiple times in the past couple weeks and I cannot complain. I have requested that she come around lunch to walk Andi and she does her best even though it can be a super inconvenient time. Some of my friends who have happened to see Alyssa and Andi have always commented that Andi seems so happy with her. I definitely recommend Alyssa!”
About: Between my 10 month old & 14 year old pups, I can pretty much do everything! With my 14 year old pup being a senior, I have learned to be very patient and understanding with him so I would say I have excellent senior care. My 10 month old pup has had me revisiting the puppy stages, so I’m used to all different ages, personalities, and energies. I’m currently getting my veterinary technician associates degree. I am a college student doing online classes so my schedule is pretty flexible. I can do walks on weekdays from 9 a.m. to sunset. I have a fenced yard with 2 dogs but my senior dog will just stay inside. I have a puppy who would love a friend!

About: Caring for animals isn’t just something I do—it’s something I truly love. I have experience with pets of all ages, sizes, and personalities, from energetic puppies who need structure and training to senior pets who deserve gentle, attentive care. I’m comfortable with administering basic medications, maintaining consistent routines, and recognizing changes in behavior or health. Pet care is a regular and important part of my daily routine, not something I squeeze in last minute. I plan my schedule around the pets I’m caring for to ensure they get consistent attention, timely feedings, walks, and playtime. I’m available for morning, midday, and evening visits, and I make sure each pet gets the time and care they need without feeling rushed. Whether it’s daily drop-ins or extended stays, I stay organized and committed so your pet’s routine stays as normal and stress-free as possible.

I handle feeding, walks, playtime, litter box or yard clean-up, and any special care needs like medications. I also respect your home by keeping things tidy and secure, and I provide regular updates so you can feel confident your pet is happy and well cared for while you’re away.
“Christina is amazing! I can’t say it enough. We had to leave town short notice for a death in the family, and she saved our booties. It was her first time meeting our pups and even though the cat was set up and didn’t need anything, she still gave her attention too. I will definitely book her again. She is super attentive and sweet. I’d give her 100 stars if I could!”
About: I have a dog that I love more than anything and I have been pet sitting for neighbors and and family for a couple of years. I also have my own reliable transportation. I am currently out of school for summer break so I am free now. Once school is back, I will be available in the morning before school, afternoons, and evenings. I feed and walk my dog, take her to the dog park, and give her lots of love. I’d love to get to know your pets and treat them just like my own!
About: With a passion ignited since before I could even drive, my pet care journey began with walking miles to neighbors' homes to tend to their senior dogs. Over the years, I've traversed town, from cats to dogs, nurturing furry companions with a blend of love and expertise. What sets me apart is my background in EMS and firefighting, instilling a sense of calm and preparedness in any situation. Specializing in both puppy and senior care, I provide tailored solutions, ensuring each pet receives the attention and care they deserve. Pet care seamlessly integrates into my daily and weekly routine, especially during the summer when I'm off and have more flexibility. With ample free time and the ability to accommodate short notice requests, I prioritize the well-being of furry companions, ensuring they receive the attention and care they need. Whether it's scheduled walks, playtime, or last-minute sitting gigs, I adapt my schedule to meet the needs of the pets entrusted to my care. This flexibility allows me to provide reliable and attentive service, giving pet owners peace of mind knowing their beloved animals are in good hands. When caring for pets in my client's home, I prioritize their comfort, safety, and well-being above all else. This includes adhering to their regular feeding and exercise routines, providing plenty of love and attention, and maintaining a clean and tidy environment. For dogs, I ensure they get their daily walks or outdoor playtime, and for cats, I engage in interactive play sessions or simply spend quality time cuddling and grooming. Additionally, I handle any necessary tasks such as administering medication, cleaning litter boxes, or watering plants, ensuring that both the pets and the home receive the utmost care and attention while the owners are away.

About: I have experience taking care of many kinds of animals since I was born. My family, friends, and neighbors have relied on me to walk, feed, and bathe their pets over the years. I have experience with both large and small dogs of different breeds. I have also taken care of many cats, both my own and those of family, friends, and neighbors. Along with that, I also have two loving and friendly cats myself. My family and I have a sweet and playful puppy too. I’m currently attending college. Some of my classes are in person, while others are done virtually, so I’m able to be home or at a client’s house whenever I need to be. This might change given things such as finals, but I will be available to travel most of the time. I will be available everyday of the week unless I already have someone scheduled. If I have something scheduled or planned for the week you need me to take care of your pet(s), you will be informed before anything is set up. I have a friendly puppy and two sweet cats to keep your pet company. My cats are friendly but also very shy and will hide in my bedroom if a pet they don’t recognize is brought into my home. Our puppy is very friendly and playful. She loves playing with other animals, but she can become too excited while playing at times. I will be watching all the animals at all times and your pet will be my main focus, but if you think this might be a problem, then it’s best to inform me beforehand so we can plan ahead. Most of the time, at least one member of my family is home with me, so they will be able to help keep an eye on the animals. So, if your pet needs to be separated from the others, then I will be able to take care of your pet individually while my family takes care of the pets. I have a crate available to use for either of our dog(s) if needed. The backyard is fenced and any animal that is let outback will have an eye kept on them until they are ready to go back inside. We have plenty of supplies, but it would be best if everything your pet needs is brought along. We have supplies such as puppy pads if your pet isn’t potty trained. Dogs will be let out every hour unless you have a different schedule for potty breaks and outdoor playtime. I will need all information on your pet, especially those concerning vaccinations and other medical information. It’s best if we plan everything ahead of time, including emergency and medical situations. When it comes to taking care of animals outside my house, I have a pretty flexible schedule, so I can visit/stay at your house to take care of your pets as long as you need me to. As long as I have my computer to work on school and a charger, I can stay for long periods of time. I will follow whatever schedule set for your pet. I might ask questions for specifics on taking care of your animal(s) if needed, such as how long (time and distance) should walks be for your pet as to not overexert them. It would be best to tell me what your pet’s daily life is like so I can stick to their normal schedule as closely as possible. I am unable to stay nights to watch over your pets as of right now, so we will need to work this part out if needed beforehand. If an emergency occurs, I will call you as soon as I am able to once I know the situation is handled on my end. It’s best to check to make sure nothing like food will run out while I’m taking care of your pet, but if this does occur, please remember to leave some extra money so I can buy more. The extra money won’t be used and/or taken if this doesn’t happen and I will leave it where it was left by you.
About: I’ve grown up with Fur babies my whole life. I’ve worked at a dog groomers, a vet hospital, and I’ve also dog sat on this website about 7 years ago and had dog boarded for multiple people I tried to log into my old account for the reviews but it would no longer let me. This is my dream job and I want it to grow and I will care for your fur babies like they are my own. I will provide food and water bowls while they are here and toys, of course you can bring your babies favorites and anything you think might help them being away from you 💗 I am currently stay at home and I will be able to spend and play with your pup plenty. They will never be alone ! I have a fenced in back yard so plenty of room to play & we can go on walks in the neighborhood or we can go to the walking trail/dog park 15 minutes away!
“My wife and I are so grateful to have Jaclyn as Lola’s dog walker. Jaclyn provides a level of care that feels like a family member whenever she’s with Lola. Jaclyn is very patient and gentle with Lola. My wife and I can tell from the photos. Lola is always happy to see Jaclyn. If you want a dog walker who will treat your pet with the same love and attention you do. I highly recommend Jaclyn”

“This was my third time to board my pup in Natalie’s home. Natalie and her family are amazing and go above and beyond to meet my pup’s needs.

“My dog, Ryder, enjoyed his stay with Charlie and his dogs. Charlie was very accommodating. We set up a meet and greet for our dogs and they ended up playing for 2 hours! I was updated daily, however much I requested. I only had to provide food and anything else I specifically wanted to bring. Charlie had an extra kennel and plenty of toys. He did walks with Ryder and made sure he got all that lab energy out. We’re back home now and Ryder’s going to sleep for a few days. He’s worn out from his great weekend!! I’m looking forward to using Charlie and his family again.”

“Sofia was an absolute godsend. She's incredibly dependable, professional and kind. And it's a bonus that she's a vet tech. I had never left my dog with a stranger before, so I was nervous about leaving her for a weekend. But Sofia was so communicative and responsive that my anxiety quickly vanished. I will 100% user her again.”
“Gabrielle went way above and beyond while looking after my two dogs! They enjoyed at least two walks per day and frequent visits and lots of TLC, as well as some unexpected perks regarding behavior modification, i.e. she got one of my dogs to bark less! She was an absolute gem and frequently sent videos and photos of my dogs when I was away for three nights. I highly recommend using Gabrielle for your next special friend sitter!”
