“Shaquita was amazing! Our sitter for thanksgiving backed out last minute, and she responded back so fast to help us. We got pictures and videos of our dogs, and it looks like they were well loved and taken care of. Will definitely use her again!!!”
“Lisa took great care of our pup! So happy that we can enjoy time away because we know Roxanne is being safely and lovingly cared for. Lisa was always quick to respond to our inquiries and sent pictures every day. Five Stars!”
“Absolutely wonderful service, took my dog LITERALLY last notice (booked 10pm on sunday and took him)! Made my dog feel at home. I cannot recommend Meleah and her family enough, they know what they are doing.”
About: While, I don't have experience taking care of other people's pets, I've had my own since I was a little girl. My first dog was Cosmo, a Yorkshire Terrier. I miss him so much! Now my family and I have 2 dogs named Honey and Baby Girl (my kids couldn't agree on a name so her nickname just stuck!). Honey is 110lb Border Collie/Great Pyrenees/Lab mix, and BG is a 70lb "Australian Boxherd", or Australian Shepherd/Boxer mix. We also have 2 cats named Athena and Nike. Plus, 3 hens and 1 rooster: Sandy, Patrick, Bob and Mr. Crabs.. Spongebob, of course! Lol Our animals are our babies, I don't know what we'd do without them! I am not currently working, but I do have children and my father that I care for, so I have a busy schedule at times. I'm pretty flexible though for the most part, other than Wednesdays. I'm not going to provide home services at this time. I live on a lot of land but we don't have a fence and our neighbor isn't the friendliest towards dogs. We just got him used to ours, but I don't allow mine out of the yard, anyway. They've been trained to stay.

“Haley was fantastic with our cats. Gave me true peace of mind that they were being well taken care of while we were on vacation. She definitely has the magic touch because our cat who usually hides from strangers took to her right away. Highly recommend her services!”
About: I have cared for cats for as long as I can remember and have experience with both indoor cats and outdoor barn cats. Through years of hands-on care, I have become comfortable with a wide range of responsibilities, including feeding, providing fresh water, cleaning litter boxes, and ensuring cats are safe, comfortable, and well cared for. I also enjoy spending time playing with and giving attention to cats, understanding the importance of companionship and affection in their daily routine. My experience has helped me become patient, dependable, and attentive to the individual needs and personalities of each cat.
“Tiffany is the absolute best! She is reliable, communicates so clearly about her care, and loves on your pets as if they were her own! You cannot go wrong asking her to sit for your fur babies!”
“Lisa took great care of my house and was very sweet with my pets. One of my cats is very shy and high-strung - she even hides from my family - but she let Lisa pet her.”
“Presleigh was wonderful! We had last minute change of Thanksgiving plans and she didng hesitate to pick us up and come feed our sweet kitty. She even went the extra mile and fed the strays we take care of that live outside and filled our water bowls that were low when she absolutely did not have to! If you want someone who can be asked to do one thing and she helps out with extra stuff, this is your girl!”
“Mallory took great care of our dog, Nell, during her drop-in visits. She walked Nell, made sure she always had fresh water, and kept me updated after each visit with details about her bathroom breaks, attitude, and activity level. Mallory was also incredibly flexible and accommodating by meeting with us early in the morning before I left for work so she could do a meet-and-greet and get to know Nell beforehand. I really appreciated her reliability, communication, and genuine care for my dog. I would absolutely recommend her and would be happy to book with her again.”
“Hannah did a great job with my cat Maisie! I didn’t have to worry a bit that she was being well cared for and I could tell from the photos that Maisie looked forward to Hannah’s visits!”
“Angie did an awesome job taking care of our cats, fish, reptiles, and chickens. She communicated with us while we were gone, which was comforting. Will definitely use her again.”
“Bre did a great job taking care of our three cats! very friendly, good communication and thorough, it’s nice to know we have someone who cares taking care of our babies while we’re out of town!”
About: I grew up around cats and have never been without one for long. I've been filling food bowls and scooping litter nearly as long as I've known how to read. I've also worked at two veterinary clinics that offer animal boarding, so I'm experienced in dealing with more difficult cats, administering medication, and following stricter diets. I've even cared for disabled cats, such as cats without eyes or cats with paralyzed back legs.
About: I've taken care of my neighborhoods animals since I was younger. With the dogs, I would walk them, play ball with them in the back yard, to bathing them if they needed it to cuddling them if it was a storm night. Hi guy! I just graduated school, so how pet care fits into my dailey routine is that i’m available majority of the time even holidays! How I would keep your pets safe is when we are going on a walk I would make sure they were leased. And then if I was playing ball with them I would make sure the gates where closed. And then during the night if they stayed in a crate I would make sure I had one.
“Quianna is super nice and really does love pets. My pups liked her on their first meeting. She took pictures and movies for me which made my day. I will absolutely be going to her first next time I need a sitter!”
About: I am an owner of two Jack Russell Terriers who make my life incredibly entertaining. Both of them are rescue pets. The relationship I've built with them has introduced me to a whole new part of myself. I love to dote on others' fur babies as well. I'm a professional musician who does this as a way of supplementing my income, so my schedule is *usually* accommodating to almost any pet owner's needs. I prefer to do drop ins and some house sitting. I don't typically want to bring my own pups along with me until I know your dog's temperament. Even then, it is rare. They are beginning to show that they’re senior pups. If you think I'll fit your needs, don't hesitate to call. I'f I'm available, your pups will be well cared for and smothered with affection.

About: My love for animals began as early as I can remember. I have always had a deep reverence for all life around me. I'm currently a student at UNA studying environmental science and sustainability. I hope to one day have my own farm. I've had a wide variety of pets over the years; gerbils, Guinea pigs, a box turtle, and many of my friends growing up had dogs as well. My first true animal companion was our family dog, Logan, who was a rescued Golden Retriever/ German Shepard mix. He passed away at age 15 when I was 13 on Christmas morning (no joke- of all days..). My family took a long time to get another dog because we felt that no dog could ever top Logan. My parents did get another dog since, a rambunctious and loving beagle mix named Molly. I have also had an orange tabby cat named Señor Platáno of which whom I allowed to be indoor and outdoor while I went to school at Kent State University, but he was tragically hit by a car. To this day I still think of him more as a dog the way we were so close. I haven’t been in the right place financially to have a dog of my own but at my most recent job I was able to interact with dogs on a daily basis and it always made my day. I decided to sign up for Rover because I am currently unemployed and enrolled at UNA so I thought what better way to earn some side money than to become a dog walker/sitter. I look forward to meeting as many furry friends as I can and I will truly cherish every encounter I am fortunate enough to have. Thank you. I am currently unemployed so my schedule is practically wide open. I will be resuming my education at UNA in the Fall, but all of my classes will be online so my schedule shouldn't change much. I live in Florence and I like to stay local with my hobbies so I’m not usually ever far from the Shoals area. Dog and cat care will fit well with my schedule. Pet care at a clients home will always be carried out with honor and reverence towards the clients, their home and their pets. I was a boyscout growing up and my loving parents taught me well to respect people and animals so when I leave a home I will leave it in the same condition or better than when I arrived. Your pet will get my undivided attention and care as I will treat them like I would my own, with love and respect.

Perfect for high energy dogs - Killen
“Auburn and her family are very kind and loving with Mumford. It's a beautiful environment, he clearly feels very comfortable with them. They are gentle and relaxed and attentive to him and clearly care for him. I feel safe and thankful leaving him in their care.”
“Haley & her husband were great!! We got wonderful updates of the boys playing fetch, getting lots of love and attention. Absolutely, use them again and highly recommend for fur babies needing a good safe place to stay.”
“Maryann and Ronnie are both so sweet and caring! While they are a second sitter for us, we still love them just as much as our other! They both made sure I was kept up to date with snoopy and what he was doing and how he was doing. I also got plenty of pictures! Snoop got to play with their babies along with one of their regulars (which it was communicated their regular would be there) he came home and took a nap immediately! Would definitely reccomend them to anyone!”
About: I have been a dog owner for over 10 years. I grew up with a large dog and have a huge desire to train and give love and attention to all dogs. I have a flexible schedule so I can drop in on your dog 2-3x a day and work with them on training, and take them on walks to wear them out mentally and physically. No care provided in my home at this time. I can come to your house and provide walking, attention, and training there during times that are best.
“Mumford had a lovely time at Meleah's, he loves hanging out with other dogs and Malia and her husband were very kind. She was amazingly flexible and patient with my changing schedule and her communication was great. We are glad to have found her!”
About: I come from a home who owed/bred dogs. I’ve always had a pet. I’ve dealt with puppies, kittens, raccoons, birds, iguanas, and fish. I do crate train as that’s what we do with our own puppies. We provide a safe home for your fur babies, with lots of love and play. I already care for my one fur baby. We have a routine we like to follow, it helps with the pets and children in the home. I have a fenced in yard and generally crate train in my home. We have a routine for walks, feeding, and playtime.... lots of playtime.

About: I love all animals like they are my own. Your animals will be in the best care possible while you are enjoying your away time. I work from home so watching your animals would be my pleasure. I love sitting around enjoying time with my animals while I work so why not include others. I have friendly dogs of my own that love company and I live out in the country on 5 acres. My dogs love showing off their space.
“Absolutely perfect! When meeting with Hannah she was very polite and welcoming. She did a really good job at making sure her babies kept personal space with Snoopy and always watched them in the backyard. Communication was great and instructions on what she needed were very clear. She was so understanding when it came to my pickup time possibly changing due to my job. Hannah also made sure she asked all the important questions and was amazing with communication! I was nervous leaving my baby with someone new, but Hannah did a great job making me feel comfortable leaving Snoopy in her care. We will absolutely be using services anytime we need help! (Bonus points for sharing pictures even while I was at work)”

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.
About: My availability is very flexible. I currently have a Cane in my home who loves to play! I grew up with various pets and dogs of all sizes, health conditions and ages! I believe in giving treats for a great reward after a walk and some play time. Ive always said dogs are family, any pups that stay with us are treated as our own. SCHEDULE Pick up and drop off hours are between 6am-6pm. I am flexible on pick up/drop offs during the day. To keep my family time a priority, pick ups need to be before 6pm unless otherwise discussed. An overnight fee will be placed if they are not picked up by that time. Pick ups after hours and Sundays will be approved on case by case basis. Please message me with details of your stay. I have two dogs and two children, working from my home, so my schedule is flexible. Pups will rarely be without someone around to hang out, play and have fun with. I’m able to provide additional care to pups that may have separation anxiety, health concerns or need additional potty breaks. I have a fenced in yard, gates within my home and experience with kennels, leashes and safety walks. My dogs are social and great with other dogs. They have boundaries and are rewarded and given special attention daily and dog snacks.
About: I will ensure your animal is well taken care of and spoiled the entire time here. I can provide pictures at any time per request. I guarantee they will have a blast with me and my family! I am a stay at home mom. I hardly leave the house unless I go to the grocery store. I will be able to be with your pet 95% of the time. I have dogs and cats in my home. My dogs are located in crates and play outside in my fenced in back yard. I will keep the animals separate and allow them to run free in my back yard and will actively play and nap with them!
About: I have a special place in my heart for animals. Where I live they have plenty of room to run and play and be safe. I'm currently working part time and have ample amount of free time to take care of your pet's. My husband has shed/duck dogs, so I am well versed in caring for different breeds. I have a giant yard in a small neighborhood back in the woods with plenty of space to roam and have a good ole time.
About: I’ve taken care of large dogs, small dogs, cats, ferrets, ducks and basically any pet you can think of. Everyone deserves to have someone care for their pet properly while they are away. I will keep your furry family member safe and happy while you are! I also take photos while they are with me that I can send to you with updates. I can’t wait to meet your fur friend!!! I am currently in college online. When needed I substitute teach for my primary income but it is a very flexible schedule. I care for animals more often than subbing and devote my workdays towards your pets. I have one very friendly dog, but if your pet is not into socializing they can stay separated. I want to make sure you come back home to a pet that is as happy as when you left. My hope is that whether you're on vacation or business trip your furry family member will be treated like they are part of my own family.

About: I am so excited for the opportunity to care for your baby! I’ve had a dog, cat, or both since I was little, so I know what it means for fur babies to be family and to want them loved, safe, and well cared for when you’re away. Please shoot me a message if you have any questions at all before booking. I can’t wait to meet and take good care of your pet! I have taken care of pets, including dogs, cats, goats, chickens, sheep, cows, and horses for 25+ years. I have always had a pet of my own who I was responsible for since I was in first grade. I’ve had to provide medical care to a lame prior racing horse— cleaning, washing, and applying bandages and medicine to his foot while his owner was out of the country. I’ve also cared long-term for my elderly chihuahua, Bungee, who took medication for congestive heart failure and for my elderly cat, Jaq, with renal failure who had to be hand-fed for a few months before she passed. I currently have a large white dog, Caliber (Lab/Pyrenees mix), who was a rescue, a Pyrenees puppy who stays with and guards my chickens, a sweet, black collie-like rescue named Sirius, and outdoor cats and kittens which have been strays we have not turned away. Caliber and Sirius are in and out of the house dog and stay wherever they want— in our temperature controlled garage with a fence-less perimeter around our home due to the road and creek proximity, the living room, or the back deck overlooking the creek. Caliber has his own tempurpedic mattress and enjoys long days snuggling daddy’s feet in his office (my husband works remotely). The cats are used to animals of all kinds and know to keep distance on days I board a potentially cat-aggressive pup. I currently have a lot of flexibility as a mostly stay-at-home mom and I work PRN (as needed). Because I’m typically at am home with my children, I am very available to care for your babies well and give them all the love they need. I do enjoy trips with my family out of town and occasionally have busy seasons with local engagements, but I communicate well and will be very clear about my availabilities to make sure it work with your needs and that of your pet(s). As long as the pet isn’t aggressive, I am very comfortable caring for your baby for you in the comfort of your own home. I always enjoy meeting my new friends before their human(s) leave to make sure to give them time to get to know me and feel comfortable with my presence. It’s a joy to drop in and see how excited some pets get for a little company while their humans are gone. I enjoy walking, so I’m always up for a peppy (or slow) walk with your baby. My pup adores other dogs and loves having friends over, but can also be kept in the office or temperature controlled attached 2-car garage to provide ample space for your pet as we come outside if need be. I have space to crate your pup or cat if that works best for your needs as well. On my property I have a large, unfenced yard and can take your pet for wonderful walks in the grass and alongside the creek with me.
About: I have exp in puppy training, limited service dog training, administering oral and topical meds, bandage changes, post op care as well as senior care. Tender Love and Care is the upmost importance in the care of your pet I currently work part time with a very flexible schedule. That way I have plenty of time to attend to your pets needs as they may arise unpredictably In my home your dog would be treated better than family and would have to be cat friendly, potty trained, fully vetted and with flea tick preventative , Leash trained or well minded. I do not have a fenced yard but I do have 5 acres and a very dog friendly neighborhood. In your home… as you wish.
About: I have grown up with and cared for animals since I was a child. I am most experienced with medium to small dogs. I have owned and cared for Irish Setters, Golden Retrievers and English Shepherd mix. I have sat for dogs and horses of friends and family. I have experience working at an Equestrian farm as a ranch hand. I am available during the week for all of your pets needs. Whether that be a hike along the trail, walking downtown, grooming/vet appointment, or just a lazy day at the house. My weekend may be limited. Given advance notice I could be available for weekend services. Currently, I do not own any dogs. Pets will board indoors. I will provide care according to your specifications and pets needs.

About: I have been petsitting for more than 15 years all over the Shoals area! I am extremely reliable and highly educated! Can't wait to meet your sweet pet friends! I work full-time.

About: I grew up on a 100-acre farm and have spent my entire life caring for animals of all kinds. My experience includes both everyday and medical care for livestock and household pets, giving me a strong understanding of animal health, behavior, and individual needs. I have implemented treat based training as well as clicker training with my own pet. Over the years, my family bred and raised both small and large dog breeds, ranging from Beagles to Great Pyrenees. This hands-on experience has given me confidence working with animals of all temperaments, sizes, and energy levels — from high-energy working dogs to elderly and disabled pets requiring extra patience and specialized care. Animal care has always been a true passion of mine. I believe animals are a gift to everyone they meet, and I am committed to providing compassionate, reliable, and attentive care to every pet as if they were my own. Pet care is my full-time profession, allowing me to provide reliable, flexible, and attentive care for every animal I work with. I also attend school virtually while completing my degree in therapy, which gives me the ability to maintain a consistent schedule dedicated to pet care. My long-term goal is to open a therapy practice incorporating equine-assisted therapy to help support and heal others through the connection between humans and animals. I prioritize providing care in my clients’ homes, where pets are most comfortable and able to maintain their normal routines and environment. I believe staying in a familiar space helps reduce stress and anxiety while allowing pets to feel safe and secure. I take the time to follow each owner’s care instructions closely, including feeding schedules, exercise routines, medication administration, and any special needs. My goal is to provide dependable, compassionate care while treating both your pets and your home with the highest level of respect and professionalism.

About: I have mostly dog sat in the past, but love cats just as much! I have assisted some dogs with health conditions take their medicine. Will strictly follow your preferred pet care according to dogs' or cats' needs. I work M-F, 8-5 but have flexibility. Sometimes I travel or work remotely.

About: I have had pets and cared for animals since I was a child, giving me years of hands-on experience with both indoor and outdoor animals.

Whether your pet needs high-energy playtime or calm companionship, I’ll make sure they feel safe, comfortable, and cared for. Currently I am a college student and I work at barktown part time when school is in and full time when school is out. So I do maintain a busy schedule, but always have time to stop in and love on your sweet fur babies! I have been around pets with a wide range of temperament. This means I know how to enter and exit your home safely if you have a fur baby who likes to run, I wake up daily at 6am to give my babies their breakfast and they get their dinner at 8pm. This also sets me up to be able to adapt to your feeding schedule for your babies. I also adore getting to know the anxious babies. Taking my time and letting them warm up to me is something I pride myself on. Theres something so rewarding about gaining their trust!
About: I have been a dog owner for over 10 years. I grew up with a large dog and have a huge desire to train and give love and attention to all dogs. I have a flexible schedule so I can drop in on your dog 2-3x a day and work with them on training, and take them on walks to wear them out mentally and physically. No care provided in my home at this time. I can come to your house and provide walking, attention, and training there during times that are best.
About: My love for animals began as early as I can remember. I have always had a deep reverence for all life around me. I'm currently a student at UNA studying environmental science and sustainability. I hope to one day have my own farm. I've had a wide variety of pets over the years; gerbils, Guinea pigs, a box turtle, and many of my friends growing up had dogs as well. My first true animal companion was our family dog, Logan, who was a rescued Golden Retriever/ German Shepard mix. He passed away at age 15 when I was 13 on Christmas morning (no joke- of all days..). My family took a long time to get another dog because we felt that no dog could ever top Logan. My parents did get another dog since, a rambunctious and loving beagle mix named Molly. I have also had an orange tabby cat named Señor Platáno of which whom I allowed to be indoor and outdoor while I went to school at Kent State University, but he was tragically hit by a car. To this day I still think of him more as a dog the way we were so close. I haven’t been in the right place financially to have a dog of my own but at my most recent job I was able to interact with dogs on a daily basis and it always made my day. I decided to sign up for Rover because I am currently unemployed and enrolled at UNA so I thought what better way to earn some side money than to become a dog walker/sitter. I look forward to meeting as many furry friends as I can and I will truly cherish every encounter I am fortunate enough to have. Thank you. I am currently unemployed so my schedule is practically wide open. I will be resuming my education at UNA in the Fall, but all of my classes will be online so my schedule shouldn't change much. I live in Florence and I like to stay local with my hobbies so I’m not usually ever far from the Shoals area. Dog and cat care will fit well with my schedule. Pet care at a clients home will always be carried out with honor and reverence towards the clients, their home and their pets. I was a boyscout growing up and my loving parents taught me well to respect people and animals so when I leave a home I will leave it in the same condition or better than when I arrived. Your pet will get my undivided attention and care as I will treat them like I would my own, with love and respect.

“Shaquita was amazing! Our sitter for thanksgiving backed out last minute, and she responded back so fast to help us. We got pictures and videos of our dogs, and it looks like they were well loved and taken care of. Will definitely use her again!!!”
“Absolutely wonderful service, took my dog LITERALLY last notice (booked 10pm on sunday and took him)! Made my dog feel at home. I cannot recommend Meleah and her family enough, they know what they are doing.”
About: While, I don't have experience taking care of other people's pets, I've had my own since I was a little girl. My first dog was Cosmo, a Yorkshire Terrier. I miss him so much! Now my family and I have 2 dogs named Honey and Baby Girl (my kids couldn't agree on a name so her nickname just stuck!). Honey is 110lb Border Collie/Great Pyrenees/Lab mix, and BG is a 70lb "Australian Boxherd", or Australian Shepherd/Boxer mix. We also have 2 cats named Athena and Nike. Plus, 3 hens and 1 rooster: Sandy, Patrick, Bob and Mr. Crabs.. Spongebob, of course! Lol Our animals are our babies, I don't know what we'd do without them! I am not currently working, but I do have children and my father that I care for, so I have a busy schedule at times. I'm pretty flexible though for the most part, other than Wednesdays. I'm not going to provide home services at this time. I live on a lot of land but we don't have a fence and our neighbor isn't the friendliest towards dogs. We just got him used to ours, but I don't allow mine out of the yard, anyway. They've been trained to stay.

About: I have one Aussiedoodle and one furrry cat. I would love to host your fur babies and make them feel at home while they’re away from home. I let my animals roam freely in the house as they please. Let us build a relationship with you and provide them with companionship in safe loving environment whenever you need.
