“Brittany is such a dog lover that cared for our Bailey as if he were part of her own family which includes 3 well behaved and adorable dogs. Brittany takes one client at a time so you can feel peace of mind knowing your dog will be well cared for in a space that is just right. Thank you Brittany! Helen & Dan”
“We couldn’t be happier with the care our dog received! From the moment we met, it was clear how much love and experience they have with animals. They were incredibly reliable, communicative, and truly treated our pup like part of their own family. We received regular updates and photos, which gave us total peace of mind while we were away. Our dog came home happy, relaxed, and clearly well cared for. Highly recommend to anyone looking for a trustworthy and compassionate sitter!”
“Pope had a great time with Cassie! A weekend full of playing. This was my first time boarding him and she made me feel very confident that he was well taken care of! Highly recommended and will be using her again.”
“Jamie provided excellent care for our black lab, Zora. She sent lots of pictures and updates throughout her stay. At the last minute we took Zora to the vet and found she had an ear infection and Jamie agreed to still keep Zora for the week and administer her ear drops. Jamie made me feel very comfortable leaving my baby girl and I would recommend her to anyone wanting to make sure their fur baby is well taken care of. I will use her again.”
“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!”
“My dog had a blast with Kristy. If you want your dog to be tired out, she is the one to book. Very flexible and communicative. She sent many pictures of my dog while I was away. Will definitely book her again!”
“This was my 2nd time having Keith watch over my husky. He sent me a couple photos during the week of watching her while I was out of state. Keith was very accomadating when I requested an earlier pick up time. I will be reaching out to him again for future needs.”
“Steven and his family were the best! We had never left our pups at anyone else’s house before and they had the best time. He took several pictures every day so we could see our babies. Our one Aussie is very shy and he warmed right up. I feel like they had a vacation right along with us. They were definitely spoiled. 😂 I will be using Steven again no doubt.”
“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.”
“Lorraine helped us to take care of our little fur baby when we were away from home for several days. She is very professional as keeping us posted frequently. Our pup is a spoiled one as he is the only pup, however, Lorraine has her own techniques to keep him safe and feel comfortable at her place. Definitely will rebook her when we will travel again in the future.”
“Very reliable. As a new mom of two, I have forgotten about my first baby and Kira has been so understanding about accepting last minute bookings. I appreciate her so much!!!!”

“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!”
“Barbara and Keith took excellent care of our dog, Joey! They shared many sweet photos over the weekend and made sure it was a safe and comfortable space for her. Joey really enjoyed playing with Indy, and needed a nap day to recover from all of the fun when we brought her home. We would highly recommend them to anyone!”
“My old girl was WELL taken care of during her time with this family. The pics made me happy and when she was returned to us she was calm. Always a good sign. Thank you!”
“I've left my baby Mojo at his vet for boarding and with family always needed some meds to get him through not with Melanie wonderful videos and pics to prove it Mojo and Stella played so well together Melanie did so much for us I will be using her for all my times away Thank you Melanie and Stella”
“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!”
“Diane’s a natural at caring for pets. She’s compassionate, sympathetic and earnest. She’s also professional and is ready to do what it takes to make sure my dog is her happy herself. It’s wonderful to come home to a joyful pet.”
“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!”
“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!!”

“Colleen did an incredible job taking care of my cats on our recent trip. She spent time getting to know their personalities and made sure they were fed and happy every visit. Thank you Colleen!”

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.

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.
“Ann is an amazing person sitter. She really takes the time to get to know each of your pets and loves on each one. She also writes the most fantastic reports after each visit. You can really tell that she cares.”
“Madelyn was great with our 2 kitties. We came back from our trip to very happy and peppy cats. She was reliable, arrived when expected, and provide very cute photos from each visit. She cleaned the bowls which was very nice. This was our first time booking with Madelyn and will be sure to book with her again in the future.”
“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.”
“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!”
About: Hi! I’m Emma! Dogs have been a huge part of my life since I was 4 years old. I grew up with a German Shepherd mix and a Pit Bull mix, so I have experience with big and small, high-energy dogs and understand the attention and exercise they need. I also have experience caring for senior dogs, and they have a special place in my heart. Whether your pup is young and playful or older and prefers a slower pace, I’ll make sure they feel safe, comfortable, loved, and well cared for. I genuinely love being around dogs and would be thrilled to spend time with yours! I’m a full time touring musician, but I have multiple months in the year where I’m at home and don’t have much to do. I’m almost always available on weekdays, and sometimes weekends. I’m also usually available anytime between 8am-8pm I know how important it is to trust someone with both your pet and your home. ☺️ I carefully follow each pet’s routine, make sure they get plenty of attention and exercise, and always prioritize their safety and comfort. I keep a clean environment, doublecheck doors and gates, and communicate regularly with owners through updates and photos. My goal is to make your pet feel as comfortable as possible while giving you peace of mind while you’re away! 🐾
“Janet took care of my two diva girls for the first time a couple of days this week. I knew pretty quickly during the meet and greet visit that Janet would be a good substitute servant for my diva girls. It was no surprise at all that she never saw Diva Niki, but I know she had plenty of food and water. And Diva Candice was quite pleased with the substitute servant😻. So I certainly can recommend Janet to take care of your cats. I’m sure I’ll be using her again in the future.”
“Having Cayley sit my two cats gave me peace of mind when I was away. My cats are very skittish yet she found their hidey-holes and gave me photo updates. Hopefully they will become more friendly for future bookings!”
“Dorisa was absolutely wonderful!! She watched our 4 cats when we had to go out of town for a week. She went above and beyond too! Staying longer to hang out with the cats, brought in our mail, took trash out, litter boxes, etc. Our cats loved her! We’ll except for our elderly cat, but even she came out and showed her face after awhile. She was so great at giving one of our cats topical anxiety medicine every morning too. She didn’t blink an eye to having to deal with special needs cats, she was so great with them! We will definitely ask her to watch our kitties again when the need arises!”
“Mackenzie was professional and very easy to work with. We loved getting updates for our pet. It took a lot of the anxiety away as this was our first time away from our kitten.”
“Chantelle was great. She made the effort to come and meet our dogs ahead of time so they would be comfortable with each other. She took the time to actually play with them for a while when she visited them as well as feeding and making sure their physical needs were being met! We were actually able to relax and know that our ‘babies’ were happy! We would highly recommend her!”

“Morgan was amazing! Great communication, very friendly, and provided regular updates. I was nervous having someone watching my dog, but I could tell she made him and myself at ease. Absolutely recommend!”
“Honey had a great visit at Jeslynn's house. Jeslynn was super accommodating with Honey's disability and sent pictures and videos throughout the day. I would happily recommend others to book with Jeslynn!”
About: As a dog mom myself I know it’s nerve wracking having to leave your fur baby in someone else’s care.. That’s why I make it priority to give every pet parent the same peace of mind I’d want for my own dogs. When your fur-baby is with me, they’re treated like one of my own. I know no two pets are alike, so I take the time to learn their routine, personality, and preferences. So whether they love to play, need extra enrichment, enjoy quiet companionship, or do better with structure, I’ll make sure they receive the individualized care they’re used to at home so they feel comfortable! I also love keeping pet parents involved, so you can expect lots of photos, videos, and updates throughout their stay or visit! Pet care is already a part of my everyday life. Outside of caring for client pets, you’ll usually find me spending time with my own dogs, going on walks and hikes, working on training, and socializing. Caring for animals isn’t just my job, it’s something I genuinely enjoy every single day. All pup’s safety and comfort are always my top priorities. My home is fully fenced for safe outdoor play, and dogs enjoy plenty of supervised playtime, enrichment activities, toys, and opportunities to relax throughout the day. Every dog is different, so I do my best to match their energy level and personality, whether they love to play with friends or prefer a little 1-on-1 attention. To keep everyone safe and comfortable, meals and treats are enjoyed separately, followed by a quiet rest break in their own cozy crate. I use crates as a positive, comfortable space to relax after meals as downtime which helps support healthy digestion before everyone is back to playing and exploring together.
“Kristy was a great sitter for our very high energy Boxer! I was able to make a reservation on short notice. Drop off and pick up were quick and easy. Our pup slept GREAT after a day of play with Kristy's dog. Will book again in the future!”
“Ashley was the best sitter imaginable for our GSD puppy. She sent tons of photos and most importantly, she knew exactly how to care for our pup. GSD’s are special, and Ashley was well-versed of his natural tendencies especially prey drive and protection. We are so grateful for the wonderful time for our sweet pup and she gave us total peace of mind knowing he was in very capable hands. Will re-book with Ashley next time we come to Huntsville!”
“Great communication. Flexible timing. August was so warm and welcoming to our girls. Accepted our last minute request and allowed us a dog-free day of adventure along our road trip.”
About: I've been caring for dogs since I was 13 years old and have always had a love for them! My experience includes volunteering at an animal shelter, dog walking, and providing pet check-ins for neighbors and friends. During visits, I make sure pets are fed, exercised, and given plenty of attention and playtime so they feel comfortable and cared for while their owners are away. Every dog has a unique personality and needs, and I take pride in being patient, reliable, and attentive. I treat every dog as if they were my own. I’d love the opportunity to care for your pets! Since I work remotely part-time, I'll be home most of the day and have plenty of time to play, cuddle, and keep your pup company during their stay. When you schedule boarding with me, I’ll add in a complimentary bath! 🐶 Your fur baby will have plenty of space to play in my fully fenced yard! They’re welcome to join the family on the furniture and get comfortable during their stay.
“Annie was great at communicating and was super responsive. Our dog was tired out when we picked him up, which was great! She'd a great dog-sitting option in the Vail/Beaver Creek area!”
About: I have always had a love for animals of all kinds and have taken care of dogs for about 10 years now. With me your fur babies will be in a happy playful environment with lots of space to run around I am currently a stay at home momma to my 5 month old, so my available is always open for whatever is most convenient for you. With me your dog will get to run around in a fenced in back yard and I also have 2 dogs of my own who would love to meet new friends.
“Mrs. Barbara and Mr. Keith were wonderful! Mrs. Barbara’s training skills were impressive, and she created a very nice space for Tokyo and Indy, introducing them little by little. Tokyo had a great time, and I highly recommend them! 🐶 ❤️”
About: Hello! My name is Sydney. I gained a variety of pet care experience while living on a farm in Kansas, working at a veterinary hospital for four years and dog sitting for years prior. I have a sweet, docile older pup of my own who lays around and gets along with everyone. Especially my two cats! She just loves making friends. However, depending on client’s preferences I also have the space in my home to comfortably separate their pets from any combination of mine depending on your/your pet’s comfort level. My home allows for walking opportunities at the Monte Sano Land Trust as well as Chapman Mountain Nature Preserve, and a fenced in dog yard to play in. My goal is to provide the most knowledgeable and experienced service possible for dog owners like myself who want to take great care of their pets! I work from home all of the time and have a very flexible schedule. I already keep track of my own pets and have the space to do so with much more. Safety is of the utmost concern to me for your pets. I will most likely never mix two families’ pets together in my home in a boarding situation as I wouldn’t be able to properly vet the two animals together prior to them being in my home. My dog is a scavenger and she’s done a really great job of forcing me to dog-proof this place so there’s absolutely nothing to possibly get into. Like I mentioned in my bio, I do have the space available to prevent any interaction between a client’s dog and mine if they feel that would be a risk at all, or if I sensed at any point that it would be. They don’t get a kennel, they get a whole spare bedroom and the living room! And just take turns in the yard. I’m willing to go to lengths to ensure clients feel comfortable with the safety of their animal in my home.
“My fur babies loved Kira the moment they met. They didn’t bark or shy away which was unusual. They enjoyed their day with this wonderful family and can’t wait to return. I strongly recommend this family business!”
About: I am very familiar with dogs of all ages. I have been a pet sitter for 5+ years and it brings me so much joy! I believe that pets are family and should treated with phenomenal care and love. I’m currently at home full time, so I have plenty of time to provide your pup with playtime, walks, cuddles, and more. I am available for boarding throughout the week as well as drop ins. I have two little ones that will also love on your pup. I have a fenced in yard with plenty of room to play! I go on daily walks and would love to have a friend to take along as well.
“Kayla was fantastic with my pup Myra during her stay for daycare. Myra got to play with Kayla’s pups, sit outside and enjoy the weather, and even did some fun training for treats. She kept in touch during the day and took some great pictures so I could see what Myra’s day looked like. I would absolutely recommend using her services, and if we weren’t moving we would totally use her again!”
“My pups really enjoyed their stay. They had lots of room to roam around and made a new friend, the family pet Georgie the Corgi. Lindsey gave me updates on how they were doing throughout the day. We will definitely be bringing them back and would highly recommend!”
“Milo loves going to Ms. Becky’s house! I’m pretty picky when it comes to our dog child and I knew he was in good hands (and was going to have fun) at her home! The initial meet and greet was great to get me and Milo comfortable before leaving him. He loves water so having the option to cool off and play in her pond was perfect while playing with the other dogs. Definitely coming back to Ms. Becky’s in the near future and would highly recommend her to others!”
About: Loving home and pet owner myself, excited about welcoming your pet into our home and family. My husband and I have over 40 years of experience caring and loving for dogs. We currently have a furry friend for your loved one to play with and little ones that will keep them loved and active. I am a stay at home mom with two boys, so pet care is the perfect fit for our lifestyle and gives me the ability to be home and interact with your loved when you cannot. Our home has a fully fenced back yard for your loved one to play and take potty breaks often. The main area of the home is open to your loved one to play, snack and lounge around. We don’t like to keep animals unattended in the back yard so feel safe knowing that they will be warm in the winter and cool in the summer with the rest of the family.
“Willow didn’t want to leave and followed him. That tells me all I need to know. She had a great time on their field trip and play date. He will be seeing Willow again if he is willing🤘❤️”

I won’t hesitate to book with Cynthia again, she was super sweet to our 3 dogs and I was surprised how well they took to her right off the bat! Perfect first time experience!!”
About: I’ve had dogs my entire life and love taking care of them. I’m able to go for long walks or just snuggle on the couch, whatever your dog needs. I’m currently a stay at home mom to 2 kids so I’ll have plenty of time to take care of your pets. I’ll be home with your pets the majority of the day when they stay with us. I don’t currently have a fenced in yard so the dogs will have to be leash trained when they stay at my house. We’ll go for long walks around the neighborhood.

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!
About: Hi there! I’m August! I’m a stay-at-home mom to my sweet 3 month old, which gives me a flexible schedule and plenty of time to provide attentive care for your pets. Animals have always been a huge part of my life. I recently lost my beloved dog, so while my heart is healing, I’d love the opportunity to spend time caring for other dogs and cats. I currently have two cats of my own and have experience caring for pets with different personalities, energy levels, and needs. Whether your pet loves playtime, cuddles, walks, or simply having a calm companion around, I’ll make sure they feel safe, loved, and comfortable while you’re away. I’m also comfortable caring for senior pets and those with special needs, including administering medications and following detailed care instructions. I understand that every pet is unique, and I’m committed to providing the same level of care and attention I’d want for my own animals. I understand how important it is to trust someone with your furry family member, and I promise to care for your pets as if they were my own. I’m happy to provide updates, photos, and plenty of communication so you can have peace of mind while you’re apart. I look forward to meeting you and your pets! ❤️🐶🐱 As a SAHM, I have a flexible, home-centered schedule that allows me to integrate pet care seamlessly into my day. I enjoy having pets as part of my routine and making sure they get steady attention, comfort, and care throughout the day. I provide care either in my home or my client’s home, depending on the service. In either setting, I focus on keeping pets comfortable, safe, and on their normal routine. This includes feeding, fresh water, litter box or potty care, playtime, and attention based on each pet’s personality.
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.
“Mackenzie did an amazing job with my pups and they both loved having her visit to walk them. One of my pups can be difficult about taking her medication but Mackenzie did great. I will definitely hire her again for my next trip.”
About: My passion for pets and their mental well-being started early. Since 2019, my dad and I have volunteered at animal shelters, walking dogs and house training them to help them find loving homes. Now, as a college freshman, I’m continuing my mission to give back to the community and support animals as they grow. With two dogs of my own I trained and experience raising a litter of puppies, I understand how important it is for pets to feel safe, loved, and engaged. When your pets are with me, they’ll get more than just care—they’ll enjoy fun agility activities, positive interaction, and, most importantly, safety. I am currently a fully time student, along with involved into on campus clubs and volunteers at the Hospital, but, I still make time to take care of animals at my local animal shelter. Your pet’s safety is my top priority. My home provides a secure, pet-friendly environment where your furry friend can relax, play, and feel at ease. I ensure all spaces are free from hazards, with secure fencing and locked gates for outdoor activities.

“Wonderful experience with Elise! She’s so gentle and kind, and our Mabel (dog) and Grits (cat) were delighted with their time with her! We never worried a moment for their safety. Will definitely ask Elise for help next time we need to leave our fur babies at home while we are away!”

“We couldn’t be happier with the care our dog received! From the moment we met, it was clear how much love and experience they have with animals. They were incredibly reliable, communicative, and truly treated our pup like part of their own family. We received regular updates and photos, which gave us total peace of mind while we were away. Our dog came home happy, relaxed, and clearly well cared for. Highly recommend to anyone looking for a trustworthy and compassionate sitter!”
“Pope had a great time with Cassie! A weekend full of playing. This was my first time boarding him and she made me feel very confident that he was well taken care of! Highly recommended and will be using her again.”
“Jamie provided excellent care for our black lab, Zora. She sent lots of pictures and updates throughout her stay. At the last minute we took Zora to the vet and found she had an ear infection and Jamie agreed to still keep Zora for the week and administer her ear drops. Jamie made me feel very comfortable leaving my baby girl and I would recommend her to anyone wanting to make sure their fur baby is well taken care of. I will use her again.”
“My dog had a blast with Kristy. If you want your dog to be tired out, she is the one to book. Very flexible and communicative. She sent many pictures of my dog while I was away. Will definitely book her again!”
“Very reliable. As a new mom of two, I have forgotten about my first baby and Kira has been so understanding about accepting last minute bookings. I appreciate her so much!!!!”

“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!”
“Barbara and Keith took excellent care of our dog, Joey! They shared many sweet photos over the weekend and made sure it was a safe and comfortable space for her. Joey really enjoyed playing with Indy, and needed a nap day to recover from all of the fun when we brought her home. We would highly recommend them to anyone!”
“My old girl was WELL taken care of during her time with this family. The pics made me happy and when she was returned to us she was calm. Always a good sign. Thank you!”
“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!”

“I just moved to the area and was a little worried about finding a reliable dog sitter. I no longer have to worry about that thanks to Jennifer. She sent me updates and pictures at least once or twice a day. I will definitely be back!”

“Toya is AMAZING. Our baby loves spending time with Auntie Toya and is very comfortable (even for being a shelter dog). She has nervous tendencies but don’t come up when Auntie Toya is around… Toya spoils her and loves on her and I have no worries because I know she being spoiled while I’m away. Love knowing she’s in loving hands. Brings me such peace of mind while I’m away. 🫶🏼”
