“Kordell was gracious and patient. Smokey and I have never been away from each other. I had the separation anxiety. Smokey was just fine. Kordell gained his trust and the rest is history. Kordell sent pictures which reassured me Smokey aa was fine.. He was happy and energetic when I picked him up. I was almost jealous. Kordell”

“If I could leave 10 out of 5 stars I would! Amanda was wonderful and we could not have asked for a better experience. Besides being kind, gentle, and thoughtful, she was very caring and gave our dog lots of attention. We had multiple pictures and videos, which were so nice. She took Oliver on walks every day, not down the street, but to a park every day. She also fed him home cooked chicken (with my approval) to try to get him to eat (picky eater!). I know Oliver had a great time and it was so nice not worrying about our little boy! We will definitely use her again! Thank you Amanda!”

About: Growing up we always had dogs in our family. My Experience in pet care is from having my own pets and caring for friends and families. I love animals and have over a decade of experience in caring for dogs, cats, horses, mules, donkey's and pigs. Now I just have my two dogs but the are like our family. I have 5 years experience caring for elderly dog (my own) that needed special care and medications. I am currently not working any other jobs at this time and will have plenty of time to spend with you sweet fur baby or babies. I have a fenced in back yard with 2 of my own fur babies. I love spending time with them in the back yard, going for walks and playing fetch. I live close to a nature trail with a lake and love to take the dogs for walks there. We love that outside time. Inside I have room to play with toys and chill with your buddies.
About: I’ve been an animal lover my whole life and have always grown up with cats, so I’m especially comfortable with them and understand their little personalities and quirks. I truly love spending time with cats and making sure they feel safe, happy, and loved. Over the past 5 years, I’ve also pet sat for friends and family, caring for both cats and dogs. I have experience with feeding, litter box cleaning, walks, playtime, and of course giving lots of attention and cuddles. I’m very patient, gentle, and reliable, and I treat every pet like they’re my own. Whether your pet loves to play or just wants a cozy companion, I’m happy to be there for them
About: I’ve had cats since the age of six. I’ve always loved cats and had a special connection with most! My friends know me as a cat lady- only because the distribution system decided I needed more cats than dogs! Almost every one of my cats is a rescue as well as my pups being rescues. I’ve always had a love for animals!
“Addison was so wonderful! She communicated well and sent lots of pictures of my baby. My cat is super weird but Addison did her best to get on her good side and eventually they bonded a lot. Super grateful and would use Addison again any time.”

I am not able to host dogs in my own home, but am more than happy to spend quality time with your dog in the pleasure and convenience of yours! I love to be outside and love to go on walks, and I am sure your pup is too! I am more than skilled to work with dogs who are prone to getting loose/breaking out of their kennel and am always up for a new learning challenge!

“Jenny is puppysitting my new little girl and taking great care of her! She has been prompt in responding to me and sends pictures to ease any nervousness I have about leaving my new pup with someone.”
About: I have been pet sitting for friends, family and neighbors for 30 years. When it comes to pet care, I don’t just “watch” animals, I learn them. I pay attention to the tiny tells, the tail angles, the side glances, the way they circle twice instead of three times before settling in. That means your pet isn’t getting a generic routine, they’re getting care shaped around their personality, quirks, and comfort. I communicate clearly and consistently, so you’re never left wondering how things are going. With me, your pets feel safe, understood, and genuinely cared for, and you feel confident know they're in capable, attentive hands. I'm currently a homemaker and would be able to accommodate your schedule through the week and on the weekends with pet care in your home or ours. Both of our boys are rescues and have been enjoying their furever homes. Kevin (dog) found us and hasn't left our sides since coming into our lives. Uncle Ricky (cat) was adopted from a shelter and has become the most loving cat we've ever had. They are loved and spoiled beyond belief.
About: I have over three years experience of volunteering at a pet clinic, as well as owning everything from a Standard poodle to tea cup Chihuahua! I am a stay at home wife, working primarily from home within Odenville AL. Therefore my schedule is always flexible and open! This also means I will always be with your pup or cat during boarding! I have a fenced in yard, harnesses, and daily walks. We always keep the TV on so they do not feel lonely while we’re at work, along with constant trips to the dog park.
“Poppy is special, not just to me, but to everyone she meets so traveling with her can be a challenge. I always want to make sure she is cared for in a loving, safe, and comfortable environment. After a last-minute confirmation that I needed to be in Talladega for three days, I was extremely lucky to find Cassandra and her husband. They took wonderful care of Poppy during the day while I worked, and I was still able to have her with me overnight, which made the whole trip so much easier. Cassandra was responsive, communicative, and sent great photo updates, which gave me total peace of mind. I highly recommend her for any pet-sitting needs in the Birmingham area especially if you’re traveling between Birmingham and Talladega. Great experience all around!”
About: As a husband and wife team, your pet gets double the love and supervision. We’re attentive, patient, and committed to following your pet’s routine the best we can to make them feel comfortable, just like at home My wife Sore works from home, so she’s here most days. You can be at peace knowing your pet(s) will get lots of attention, cuddles, potty breaks, and playtime! We have a big fenced yard for security and a nice deck for sunbathing! There’s plenty of room for exercise, if your pup enjoys the outdoors.
“Flash had a great day in Doggie Daycare with Emily and her family! They played with him and took him for a walk. They were very accommodating in setting times for Flash and me to meet them and for dropping him off and picking him up. They followed the feeding instructions and made room for his dog bed and toys in their home. I really liked it that they lived in a beautiful neighborhood with sidewalks and that they had a nice fenced in back yard. You can tell they love dogs and it made me happy that Flash was comfortable with them. I recommend them as dog sitters and plan to book with them again!”
About: I currently work with a local rescue and have worked with rescues for two years now due to my love for animals! I foster dogs of any age as well. I am currently a stay at home mom so I would be able to spend endless amounts of time with your babies!! I have two small children as well who are well versed with dogs and are used to being around them. I have one furry baby of my own and almost always have a foster dog in my home as well. Your pet is welcome to stay in our home the same as they do in yours, whether that’s crated at night, on their dog bed, etc.
About: We love dogs! But right now with 7 kids in the throws of school and all the extracurriculars, it’s just not the right time for us to have our own furry family member, so let us love on yours! My husband and I each had dogs growing up and we had a family dog until he passed away a few years ago. We have been boarding, walking, and doing drop-ins since that time. From puppies to senior dogs, we can take care of them all. I am a stay-at-home mom who homeschools my 7 children, so we’re home the majority of the time and will be able to fit in your dog’s regular schedule into our every day routine. When pets stay at our house we do our best to keep the same schedule and expectations the dogs have come to know at their homes. I enjoy going for walks at the park and visiting the dog park with dogs who are accustomed to it. We do not have a fenced yard, so I make sure each pet gets adequate exercise each day on a leash. When I come to your home, I will follow your directions exactly as you desire and provide pictures and GPS “walking time cards” via Rover so you can be assured your pet is receiving the high quality care you paid for!
About: I've taken care of pets for friends and family when needed and have experience giving medication to elderly and sick dogs. We have three female dogs of our own (pug & pug mix) and they would love to have friends over to play ball. I look forward to helping you with all your boarding and care needs. We love our fur babies and yours will be treated like another member of our family. I currently work 8am to 4:30pm during the weekday but my wife is home all day & can take care of your pets. For house-sitting requests, my wife will be the one staying over and we require a meet & greet prior to accepting. I have a fenced backyard for potty breaks and play time. My dogs will be fed separately from guest dogs. Clients will have full access to water and toys all the time. We have a medium kennel suited with small pillow and blankets that are washed before and after. I will ensure that at all times your pet is on a leash. I would prefer you bring a harness of your own, but we do have extra small sized ones here. If your dog needs special food or medication; I would like a detailed list of instructions of the times and types of medication needed. I will also do daily photos of your dog sent through text messages if requested.

Every pet is unique, and I tailor my care to meet their individual needs; whether it's a hike in the woods or cuddles on the couch, following their specific feeding schedule, administering medication, or engaging in their favorite playtime activities.

About: I care for every pet like they’re my own—because I truly know what that means. I’ve spent the past 4 years raising a labradoodle, 3 years with a golden retriever, and 2 years with my cat, so I’m experienced with different personalities, energy levels, and needs. I’m especially passionate about rescue animals. I volunteer with shelters and rescues, which has given me hands-on experience working with pets who may be shy, anxious, or still learning to trust. I bring patience, calm energy, and a lot of kindness to every visit. I understand that no two pets are the same. Whether it’s a high-energy pup who needs structured play, a senior dog who needs a slower pace, or a cat who prefers quiet companionship, I adjust my care to fit their personality. Your pet will get more than just a sitter—they’ll get someone who genuinely loves and understands them. Pet care is a natural part of my everyday life. I recently moved to Alabama from Texas, where I was a teacher, and I’m now a full-time dog and cat mom. Because of this, I have a very flexible schedule and can easily adjust my day to meet your pet’s needs. I tailor my care based on each pet’s routine, personality, and comfort level. I aim to keep your pet’s routine as normal as possible. I follow all instructions carefully—feeding, walks, and any special preferences. I make sure they get lots of love, enrichment, and companionship while you’re away. I also respect your home and keep things clean and secure. I’m experienced with different energy levels and temperaments, including shy or rescue pets, and I approach every animal with patience and kindness. My goal is for your pet to feel safe, comfortable, and genuinely cared for at all times.

About: I’m an animal lover and enthusiast who has grown up taking care of all types of pets and worked in the veterinary medicine industry since I was 17 years old. I’m comfortable with pets of all kinds, and because of my job I am comfortable administering medication of all types, including injections. I’m also very willing to work with the more “troublesome” pets. I’m currently in school getting my veterinary technician certification and need help making some extra money on the side. I hope you consider me to take care of and love your fur babies❤️ I currently work part time at a vet clinic and my Classes are usually done by early afternoon so I will have more than enough time to take care of your fur babies as needed. With my working background I am comfortable with any food restrictions, medications, walking, crating, and care your pet may need to be happy and comfortable. I will make sure to give meds, food, and specific care instructions extra attention as needed.

About: What sets me apart from other sitters? I don’t just “watch” your pets—I care for them like they’re my own. With years of hands-on pet sitting experience, I focus on building real trust with both pets and their owners so you can feel confident while you’re away. I’ve trained several puppies and understand the patience, consistency, and attention they need, and I also have experience caring for senior pets and their specific needs—whether that’s slower routines, extra comfort, or medication reminders. I pay attention to the little things—your pet’s habits, personality, and favorite routines—so they feel safe, loved, and right at home. My goal is simple: spoiled pets and completely stress-free owners. I’m currently building my life coaching business, which only requires about 2–3 hours of work per day—and it’s all done from my laptop. Because of this, I’m home and available most of the time, which allows me to give your pets plenty of attention, care, and supervision throughout the day. My schedule is very flexible, and I’m available for drop-ins, boarding, house sitting, and overnight care as needed. Your pet’s safety and comfort are always my top priorities. In my home, I have a fully fenced-in yard where dogs can play safely and get fresh air. I also have an extremely loving 3-year-old cat who is very friendly, gentle, and used to being around other animals. I tailor care to each pet’s needs and personality. For larger dogs who need extra exercise and stimulation, I provide fun, exercise-based games and active playtime to keep them happy and engaged. For smaller dogs—or pets who simply want more affection—I’m always happy to slow things down with snuggles, lap time, and relaxing together (TV time included!). If I’m caring for your pet in your home, I make sure to follow their normal routines closely so they feel safe, secure, and stress-free while you’re away. My goal is to create a loving, calm environment wherever your pet is staying.

About: Hello! I’m a stay-home-mom to an 8-year-old human, 17-year-old Border Collie, and a kitty under 1. Our family moved to the area in2017, and I’ve built strong friendships with neighbors while caring for their pets while they are away. I have a lifetime of experience with both dogs and cats; canine recall training, socialization and behavioral training. My (our) love for animals makes this sort of “work” easy and fun. I know how important it is to leave your pets in the care of someone that you trust, and I love an opportunity to spend time with them. I would love to meet your pets! I’m home for the majority of the day everyday. Our son goes to elementary school on weekdays, so I have plenty of time to spend with your pets! In our home, we promote a calm environment indoors. To play, we go outside to our backyard where we have plenty of space! We also have a dog park nearby if you’d like.
About: I have always had multiple dogs and cats as family members throughout my life. My parents raised me to be surrounded by animals and as an adult now, my life has not changed. I love cats and dogs equally and all of mine get along with each other. They are my family. I have raised puppies and kittens from birth, helped nurse any furry family member back to health, and I properly take care of my little furry ones by putting their needs before my own. Did I mention that I love animals? =) My mom will be at home all day every day, in case I need to leave the house. She is part of the reason why I have such a love for animals, so I know she will love any new visitor to our home as much as I will! My two dogs, Jake and Honey, are super sweet and calm around new friends. They may want to take a few sniffs...but what dog doesn't? Jake is a Blue Heeler mix and is very social and compassionate to others. Honey is a Husky mix and still has that playful personality just like a puppy. She is always ready to play! During the school year, I work full-time as a preschool teacher in an early learning center near my home. I will be able to spend all afternoon and night with your furry loved one as soon as I get home from work. There will be plenty of potty breaks during the day because my mom will be able to handle it...she is responsible for giving potty breaks to my furry babies so I know she will do a great job. During the summer, I will be available to give love and attention all day! During potty breaks and times spent outside in the back yard, there will be someone visiting with them. This may be my mom during the day or myself during the afternoons and nights. We will have food offered to them three times a day, unless you prefer another option. I chose to become a sitter because I love visiting with my furry family members and understand what it is like when I need to travel out of town. I worry and I stress about what my babies are going through when I am not there. I would love to be that factor in your life that calms that worry while you are out of town!
About: I have a lot of knowledge on animals. Between the amount of research I have done and my experience with my bunnies, dogs, and kitty cats, I am fairly experienced as well! You can be sure I will give your lovable fur babies much love and kindness! Currently studying to be a home inspector, so I am very flexible! My dogs and I walk 3+ miles each morning. Beyond that and study time, I’m open for business! I try to cater to each clients’ specific needs and adhere to already established schedules. I have large crates and pins set up in the house as well as a backyard. Also provided: frequent walks, lots of treats, belly rubs, and all the things!

About: I’ve taken care of dogs both full time and part time since I was around 14. I was the sole caregiver for my previous dog (American Staffy) for 4 years as well as pet sitting for family. I’m currently home from college and work from home, so I am able to give your pets plenty of attention and care. I’m also an active person who loves outside. I have a fenced in backyard as well as a very walkable neighborhood with ponds and trails. If needed, I also have a crate available.
“Barrie loved my dog so well! He had lots of love and attention and was so happy when I came to pick him up. Will definitely rebook when I am in Birmingham again.”
“Did a great job with our crazy Milo! He watched Milo for the weekend while I was out of town and sent pictures and updates! He helped us out tremendously at the last minute by watching him for those few days! He also has a puppy that Milo seemed to thoroughly enjoy playing with!”
About: I’ve taken care of dogs since I was a child! From growing up with them, to helping friends and family, to fostering for shelters and rescues! I work full time, but do have allotted time to run home to let pets out/feed! My boyfriend is also a huge help to filling any gaps! I ensure all pets receive the best care! From food choice (if not provided), to toys, to play time w/ my pups (if wanted)! I provide a safe but fun environment!
“Harold was fantastic with my two girls! He helped me out when I needed daycare last minute and I loved the pictures I got throughout the day. Would absolutely book again!”
“Whitney was wonderful with my pups for our last minute getaway! She was quick to respond and sent us lots of pics and videos from their stay with her. We will definitely be using Whitney as our sitter for future vacations!!”
“If I could leave 10 out of 5 stars I would! Amanda was wonderful and we could not have asked for a better experience. Besides being kind, gentle, and thoughtful, she was very caring and gave our dog lots of attention. We had multiple pictures and videos, which were so nice. She took Oliver on walks every day, not down the street, but to a park every day. She also fed him home cooked chicken (with my approval) to try to get him to eat (picky eater!). I know Oliver had a great time and it was so nice not worrying about our little boy! We will definitely use her again! Thank you Amanda!”
“Tatiana was a great host for Wallace! She was so kind and came to the rescue in short notice. Would highly recommend her to anyone with a dog who loves kids and would definitely repeat.”
“Jessica was great! We got pictures every day and a video too! We could tell she made our old girl comfortable and happy in a new environment. She also has a one level house with no stairs to the backyard which is great for dogs with arthritis. We will definitely use her again next time we go out of town!”
“Cody was excellent keeping Leo while i went on vacation. Really appreciated the updates and could tell how happy my pup was. Thanks for the fun time, walks and new friends for Leo!”
