“Cassie was very loving and caring with our three dogs. She gave us updates and pictures throughout the week. It is easy to see she is an animal lover! We could not have asked for a better caregiver for Josie, Snickers and Tempe and we will definitely use Cassie again!”
“Brittany is fantastic! She kept both of our pups. One has really bad anxiety and warmed right up. Brittany also sent pictures and videos while we were gone. We are so thankful we found her, because we know our fur babies are very well taken care of in her hands.”
“Jamie was excellent with our Foxy. She sent us several pictures throughout our trip which reassured us she was happy and well taken care of. We felt like she was taken care of like her own.”
“Lorraine is our new Rover sitter. She should be called the "Dog Whisperess"! I was a little hesitant to book with Lorraine because she has quite a few dogs herself. But when I saw how much of her house is dedicated to dogs, I felt good leaving Maggie. Lorraine even helped me with some of Maggie's eating issues. We've already talked about Maggie's next stay. Thanks Lorraine!!”
“Kristy was amazing! This was our first time using her but will definitely rebook with her when needed! I ended up running late on our drop off time & she was so understanding & accommodating. She sent me lots of pictures & videos, Ollie had a great time staying with them!”
“Danielle was an absolute lifesaver for us! My senior dog has anxiety, and has never stayed with a non-family member, so leaving her for 5 days was initially a bit daunting. However, Danielle was incredibly patient and understanding, and her calm demeanor really helped my pup settle in. Daily text updates and photos provided peace of mind. The photos clearly showed that she was comfortable and captured adorable moments of her relaxing. It was evident how well my dog was cared for. Danielle followed all instructions, and the home was clean. Booking is highly recommended!”
“Kelly took extremely good care of our two pugs. One is 5 and the other is not quite 2. She has a yard where they could run and play which I am sure they loved because we do not have a yard they can play off leash on (more like a tick farm). The boys came home very happy and have collapsed on our laps to recuperate for their next adventure. I will book Kelly & Brian again when the need arises.”
“Kira was fantastic. She kept me updated with pictures every day of my pup playing and smiling. Very quick to respond to any messages. I will definitely be going to her for an future needs!”
“We had Melanie keep our little man for the first time while we were out of town for 7 days. She sent us several pictures every day with an update on his wellbeing. The peace of mind we had while away was immeasurable and we cannot thank Melanie enough for taking wonderful care of our sweet baby! 🐾 Thank you again! 🩷🐾”
“Return customer and very happy with the outstanding boarding Kristin provides to our two fur babies! Our pups are happy, healthy and exhausted from all the playtime they get when we pick them up. Highly recommended!!”
“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!”
“Peyton was absolutely amazing! Gave check ins and was super responsive to all of my messages. I highly recommend her for anyone needing to board and I’ll definitely be booking with her again in the future!”
“Very good experience! Kim was very informative and kept Oscar engaged. She gave him plenty of love, care, and exercise throughout his stay with her. She gave me lots of photos and videos to keep me updated. 10/10 would recommend!”
“Allison is an awesome pup sitter! Very professional, and has such a love for dogs. Her dog Mingo is very friendly as well. Clean area for the dogs to stay, along with an extra crate and food bowls, which was very convenient. I felt safe and content with leaving my baby with her and the puppy pictures during the stay were a plus too! Highly recommend”
“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!”

I’m especially passionate about providing personalized care, keeping pets on their normal routines, and making sure they feel safe, comfortable, and loved while their owners are away.

I want your pet to feel safe and comfortable whether they’re staying with me or relaxing in the familiarity of their own home. 🐾
“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.”

“Our kitties enjoy their time with Madeline. She is trustworthy and somehow leaves the space even cleaner when we return than when we had left! She's great with updates and shares cute playtime pics.”
“Alexis cared for our 3 cats over Thanksgiving week, with twice daily visits. She was responsive and thorough, and did a great job with the cats, including our elderly kitty who needs multiple meds. Good visit reports, too. It was great to have found someone so dependable and good with the cats, and took a lot of stress out of the holiday for us. Will definitely look for her again on our next trip!”
“Our kitties were in good spirits after being taken care of by Kai. I appreciated Kai's honesty when a small mistake was made, this helps build trust which is important to us. Thank you Kai!”
“Amy was great! She was able to accommodate my fur kids medication schedule abd had no problems administering the meds. I received pictures every day. Communicating with Amy was easy and she is super responsive. I would recommend Amy to anyone looking for a pet sitter.”
“August was great! She made time quickly to come meet our cats before she watched them and communicated well while we were gone! The cats warmed up to her well and we will for sure be using her for cat/dog care in the future!”

“Shadow and Frankie loved Chantelle! Frankie is a shy cat but came out to greet her everyday she watched them. The pictures we received were so great as well!(:”
“Ella dropped in for cat care daily for almost 2 weeks. She is reliable and very responsive as well as attentive. Her professional approach to her job is admirable. Hope we can work together again one day. Thank you Ella.”
“Elizabeth was such a great cat sitter for our girlies! She went above and beyond to keep them company and also keeping us up to date on how everything was going. We are excited to have found such a great cat sitter!”
“Austin was great at the meet and greet. He took notes and ask good questions. He has performed several drop ins and is learning how to work with my dogs. They can be difficult because they are afraid of new people but he is patient with them. We really appreciate his time and effort.”
“We recently had the pleasure of having our kitties taken care of by Mackenzie while we were away on vacation. Once again, she did an excellent job! Our cats were well taken care of, and we could tell they were happy and content upon our return. The litter box/pet areas were kept clean, and they had plenty of food and water. It's such a relief to know that we can rely on her taking care of them while we are away. We have booked with her before, and we'll definitely be booking with her again in the future. Highly recommended!”

WHAT I OFFER • a calm, clean, dog-friendly home • lots of presence, warmth, comfort and gentle attention • individual care (I host a limited number of dogs) • regular walks adjusted to your dog's energy and needs • continuous communication (photos, videos, updates) • safety, responsibility and a loving atmosphere BEFORE CONFIRMING THE BOOKING, PLEASE SHARE: - your dog's age, breed and personality - how they handle separation and new environments - allergies, medications, special needs - how they react to other dogs and people - daily routine (meals, walks, habits) - likes and dislikes - whether they can stay home alone - any house rules (e.g., do we need to hide the shoes? A little bit about me.. I grew up surrounded by animals from horses, pigs, bunnies, chickens, turtles, and many stray dogs. My family often rescued them from the street, and that’s where I learned how to care for them and, most importantly, how to truly love them. As a child, I dreamed of becoming a veterinarian, but I soon realized I’m too sensitive to handle see them in pain or saying goodbyes. That’s why I’ve poured my heart into this work, because every dog deserves to be safe, loved, and treated like family. We can’t wait to meet your fur baby and welcome them into our little dog loving family! Thank you for trusting us 💛🐶 Pet care is my daily routine. I spend most of my day with the dogs, making sure they’re safe, comfortable, having fun and well-loved. I occasionally teach online yoga classes, but during that time, my husband is home and helps care for them. Between the two of us, your pup will always have someone nearby to supervise, play, or just relax with. I care for dogs in my home as if they were my own. Dogs have access to both indoor and outdoor spaces throughout the day, they’re free to relax inside or play in our large, fully fenced backyard under supervision. I maintain a clean, calm, and safe environment with plenty of water, rest, affection, and playtime. Since I’m home 24/7, I provide constant attention and adapt to each dog’s personality, energy level, and routine. For dogs who need extra care, such as those with medical or emotional needs, I offer gentle, individualized support. My husband also assists during the day, especially when I’m briefly teaching a yoga class. Our goal is always to make your dog feel secure, loved, and part of our family.

“We were grateful to have Emerald care for our dogs on both short notice AND during a holiday. I feel like she went above and beyond with our dogs. While we were gone, I could tell they were well loved on and that they loved their time with their new pal Emerald!”

About: My first job was working at a veterinary clinic bathing, grooming, feeding, and caring for dogs and cats. My family had a farm, so I was around pigs, chickens, cows, and horses and I feel very comfortable around all animals. I have had dogs and cats throughout the years and loving on animals makes me happy. I currently dog sit for a friend of mine when she goes out of town and her dog seems to love me. I have recently moved back to Alabama from TN and am interested in establishing some regular clients. When I was in Nashville and worked from home I had a few regular drop in visit clients who I worked with regularly (3 dogs and 1 cat). I own my own business so my office hours are flexible. I live in an apartment, so I prefer to pet-sit in a client's home. This generally allows the animal to feel more comfortable in his or her own surroundings. I can do much of my work remotely, so I can bring my laptop and be able to spend time with your pet and take frequent walks.

About: I’ve taken care of animals my whole life. From having turtles, cats, dogs, hamsters, guinea pigs, and fish over the years I’ve learned so much about so many different animals! every animal is different just like humans so i strive to make sure they are comfortable with me and trust me how i am with them ! Many friends and family have asked me to watch or take care of their 4 legged babies, so i hope to keep doing it with yalls ! i’m currently working part-time, so that leaves me free from 1pm to anytime. My off days are Wednesday and Fridays, they don’t change! I’m willing to walk, sit, let them out to potty, just run to go check on them, and if they need some extra loving i’m there! Of course if you need anything else i’m here and very flexible! I live in an apartment, so i wouldn’t accept nightly stays at my place, but i’m more than capable over staying at yours ! i know most of the time animals feel more comfortable and safe in their own homes ! I do have a 80 pound dog who i take out 5-6 times a day when i get home, i take him out to the dog area and play with him for hours so he can get some sunshine on him, he’s crate and potty trained, and he LOVES to be cuddled up on anyone !

WHAT I OFFER • a calm, clean, dog-friendly home • lots of presence, warmth, comfort and gentle attention • individual care (I host a limited number of dogs) • regular walks adjusted to your dog's energy and needs • continuous communication (photos, videos, updates) • safety, responsibility and a loving atmosphere BEFORE CONFIRMING THE BOOKING, PLEASE SHARE: - your dog's age, breed and personality - how they handle separation and new environments - allergies, medications, special needs - how they react to other dogs and people - daily routine (meals, walks, habits) - likes and dislikes - whether they can stay home alone - any house rules (e.g., do we need to hide the shoes? A little bit about me.. I grew up surrounded by animals from horses, pigs, bunnies, chickens, turtles, and many stray dogs. My family often rescued them from the street, and that’s where I learned how to care for them and, most importantly, how to truly love them. As a child, I dreamed of becoming a veterinarian, but I soon realized I’m too sensitive to handle see them in pain or saying goodbyes. That’s why I’ve poured my heart into this work, because every dog deserves to be safe, loved, and treated like family. We can’t wait to meet your fur baby and welcome them into our little dog loving family! Thank you for trusting us 💛🐶 Pet care is my daily routine. I spend most of my day with the dogs, making sure they’re safe, comfortable, having fun and well-loved. I occasionally teach online yoga classes, but during that time, my husband is home and helps care for them. Between the two of us, your pup will always have someone nearby to supervise, play, or just relax with. I care for dogs in my home as if they were my own. Dogs have access to both indoor and outdoor spaces throughout the day, they’re free to relax inside or play in our large, fully fenced backyard under supervision. I maintain a clean, calm, and safe environment with plenty of water, rest, affection, and playtime. Since I’m home 24/7, I provide constant attention and adapt to each dog’s personality, energy level, and routine. For dogs who need extra care, such as those with medical or emotional needs, I offer gentle, individualized support. My husband also assists during the day, especially when I’m briefly teaching a yoga class. Our goal is always to make your dog feel secure, loved, and part of our family.
About: I have been a pet owner since my growing up years, but have raised kittens, a puppy, rescue dogs and helped my seniors live out their final years comfortably spoiled. At one point, we had 3 senior cats and 2 rescue Chihuahuas all at one time. Now, we have our 12-year old rescue Chihuahua and our almost 2 year old Chihuahua puppy. I'm currently available most anytime for pet care! I have 2 spoiled rotten Chihuahuas of my own and would love to spoil your pets, too! I live in North Huntsville and can get anywhere in town in 10 minutes or less. I have a fenced in yard that is approximately 3/4 of an acre with lots of shade and a covered porch. I have 2 Chihuahuas that are very friendly and love to keep their friends company. I have a finished basement and plenty of space and have several sizes of crates and playpens if needed. I treat other's pets like my own, with love and care and lots of attention!

“Cassie was very loving and caring with our three dogs. She gave us updates and pictures throughout the week. It is easy to see she is an animal lover! We could not have asked for a better caregiver for Josie, Snickers and Tempe and we will definitely use Cassie again!”
“Jamie was excellent with our Foxy. She sent us several pictures throughout our trip which reassured us she was happy and well taken care of. We felt like she was taken care of like her own.”
“Kristy was amazing! This was our first time using her but will definitely rebook with her when needed! I ended up running late on our drop off time & she was so understanding & accommodating. She sent me lots of pictures & videos, Ollie had a great time staying with them!”
“Danielle was an absolute lifesaver for us! My senior dog has anxiety, and has never stayed with a non-family member, so leaving her for 5 days was initially a bit daunting. However, Danielle was incredibly patient and understanding, and her calm demeanor really helped my pup settle in. Daily text updates and photos provided peace of mind. The photos clearly showed that she was comfortable and captured adorable moments of her relaxing. It was evident how well my dog was cared for. Danielle followed all instructions, and the home was clean. Booking is highly recommended!”

“Allison is an awesome pup sitter! Very professional, and has such a love for dogs. Her dog Mingo is very friendly as well. Clean area for the dogs to stay, along with an extra crate and food bowls, which was very convenient. I felt safe and content with leaving my baby with her and the puppy pictures during the stay were a plus too! Highly recommend”
“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!”
About: I’m an experienced and dependable pet sitter who truly treats every pet like family. I have hands-on experience caring for dogs of different ages, personalities, and energy levels, and I understand that every pet has their own routine and needs. I’m comfortable with puppies, senior dogs, energetic pups, and pets who need a little extra patience and attention. I’m especially passionate about providing personalized care, keeping pets on their normal routines, and making sure they feel safe, comfortable, and loved while their owners are away. I’m also attentive to feeding schedules, walks, playtime, medication routines, and any special instructions you provide. Most importantly, I’ll keep you updated with photos and messages so you can have peace of mind knowing your pet is in good hands! I work from 11:30 AM–8:00 PM Monday through Friday, but I’m available for pet care before and after work. I’m able to provide morning walks, drop-ins, feeding, playtime, and potty breaks before my shift, then spend time with pets again in the evenings. I’m also available on my days off for longer visits and more dedicated care. I’m committed to keeping your pet’s routine consistent and making sure they get plenty of attention, exercise, and love throughout the day. If your pet stays in my home, I have a fully fenced-in yard where they can safely enjoy outdoor time, play, and exercise. My poodle is very social and loves furry friends! If your dog is dog-selective or prefers their own space, I can easily separate the dogs and provide them with their own comfortable areas. I’m also happy to care for pets in their own home. I’ll follow their normal routine, including meals, walks, potty breaks, playtime, and any special instructions you provide. I want your pet to feel safe and comfortable whether they’re staying with me or relaxing in the familiarity of their own home. 🐾
“Erin really saved our bacon this time. We had a death in the family and needed to go out of town over a weekend in three days. Erin was able to take not one but both of our dogs on very short notice. We felt very relieved. As usual Erin provided photos and updates throughout the stay. Her communication is nothing short of excellent. When we picked the dogs up they were happy to see us but I am sure they would have been happy staying longer. Erin us our go to care giver for our pups which is especially important given that we can now spend more time traveling. We have complete confidence in Erin providing a safe and fun environment for our two pugs.”
“Laura has been amazing for our Leo! He had a scary incident the day of boarding and she was still up for having him. He loved it there and could be his own self, relaxed and playful. She takes amazing care of all the dogs she has and respects if some dogs need a little calmer start or whatever they needs might be that day! 10/10”
“Sidney takes such good care of Charlie, it gives us peace of mind. He gets plenty of outdoor time in her big back yard and he enjoys the company of her dog. We will definitely check with her first the next time we have to board Charlie!”
