“Jennifer was great! I just moved to the area and was in need of a dog sitter for a few days. She was responsive, provided regular updates and gave them a lot of love. I plan to use her again in the future. Thank you again!!”
“Whitney treated Penny with care and kindness, and sent pictures throughout the day. Penny and her dogs got along and played well together. Whitney made Penny feel comfortable and we will be utilizing her services in the future when we go out of town.”
“I am so happy with the care that Graci Jo received from Talhia! Talhia obviously loves dogs and loves what she does! I love receiving pictures, and Talhia is so good about that. I highly recommend Talhia!”
“I can’t give Anna enough good reviews she is literally my go to every time I need a sitter for BJ and she never lets me down! BJ absolutely loves being with Anna and he always comes home happy and tired from a fun day. Thank you Anna you’re the best!”
“I thank God that I chose Quadricka to book with. She made me feel very at ease about leaving my Bailey with her. She has the most welcoming spirit and her personality certainly matches her bio. Her home is very nice, comfy, and very clean which means a lot. She sent pics of Bailey, kept me updated,and she also was very responsive if I checked on him. He was happy and energetic when I dropped him off and when I picked up him up! She is definitely a 10/10 so book with her today because she is definitely my sitter from now on out.”
“Bailey’s stay with Morgan was FABULOUS! I volunteer for Lost Dogs Illinois so I know firsthand how many dogs are lost when with a sitter. Morgan was super patient with my many questions and happily allowed a meet and greet in advance of Bailey’s stay so I could see her home and yard. When we arrived for Bailey’s stay, Mason and Morgan had it planned very carefully for a safe introduction to another dog staying with them and their dog, Tug. During her stay, Bailey enjoyed playing with Tug and the other pup visiting. Morgan sent me photo and video updates and was always super speedy in her responses to my texts. I could not be happier with Bailey’s stay with Morgan, Mason, and Tug. I’m sure she’ll be back with Morgan when we visit our Bama student again in the future.”
“Second stay with Catherine and he loves it there! I love the peace of mind that he is well cared for while I am gone and get regular updates to keep me updated. Thanks again!”
“She was great. House was clean, doggie updates were adorable and pups came home happy and bathed. Be really specific on pick up and drop off times well in advance and this is a perfect sitter”
About: I’ve cared for a variety of pets, including a friend’s cat on multiple occasions and a newborn-to-toddler pug throughout high school. I’m patient, attentive, and genuinely love animals of all ages and temperaments. As a Division 1 college athlete, I bring discipline, responsibility, and high energy—perfect for keeping up with active pets or providing calm, consistent care for older ones. I’m super flexible this summer and happy to work around your schedule! Whether your pet needs walks, playtime, or overnight care, I’ve got the time and energy to be there. I’m reliable, love animals, and will treat your pet like my own. I’m happy to care for pets in their own home, where they’re most comfortable and familiar with their surroundings. I’ll stick to your routine and make sure your pet feels safe, loved, and well cared for. I’m also able to host calm, well-behaved dogs in my home with advance notice. Whether in your space or mine, your pet will receive attentive and responsible care at all times.
About: I’m a long time animal lover. I have been a trusted pet sitter for years through friends and referrals, now I’d like to offer reliable, professional care to my neighbors and community. My schedule is extremely flexible. I can board, I can go to you as needed, I have the time to take your pet out often and make sure they get all the zoomies out before they return home. I provide a clean, safe, and calm environment where your dog can relax and feel at home. I’m attentive, reliable, and prioritize safety, structure, and clear communication at all times.
About: Over the past six years, I have provided reliable, dedicated care for dogs of various sizes and needs, including managing multi-day house sittings and extended week-long stays. Most recently, I successfully provided a private, two-week boarding experience for a 50-pound dog, handling all daily feeding, exercise, and companionship routines flawlessly. I am a highly organized, detailed, and punctual person, meaning I prioritize consistency, safety, and communication. Whether your pup needs active playtime, strict medication schedules, or just a comfortable place to lounge, I am motivated to assist and support your family by providing top-tier care. As a dedicated college student, my routine is highly organized and structured, allowing me to easily fit premium pet care into my daily life. I balance my time efficiently and am fully available for overnight boarding on weekends. During weekdays, I have excellent availability to dedicate my afternoons and evenings to your dog, ensuring they receive plenty of focused attention, long walks, and regular potty breaks. Because I maintain a consistent schedule, you can count on me to be exceptionally punctual with feedings, check-ins, and updates. I live full-time in Tuscaloosa with my own friendly, well-behaved mini Bernedoodle, who is almost three years old. He loves company and provides great socialization for guest pets! When hosting dogs in my home, safety is my absolute top priority. I ensure a clean, calm, and secure environment where your pet will be treated like family. I am highly attentive to behavioral cues and comfortable managing medium-to-large breeds. I can easily accommodate crating or specific separation needs if required to keep everyone safe, happy, and relaxed.
“Thank you for caring for Dante ! He came back home a happy baby ! Amber definitely took good care of him and I couldn’t of been more pleased 😃 definitely will book with her again in the future”
About: I’ve been around dogs my whole life—since I was 5 years old. My mom is a dog groomer, and I worked with her for years, which gave me hands-on experience with dogs of all sizes, temperaments, and needs. I currently have three of my own, ranging from 40 to 190 lbs, so I’m very comfortable handling large breeds and high-energy pups. I’m confident with everything from basic care to reading dog body language and managing senior or anxious dogs with patience and calm energy. I work from home, so I’m home all day and able to give your pet plenty of attention, playtime, and potty breaks. My flexible schedule means I can easily stick to your dog’s routine and be available for walks, feedings, and cuddle time throughout the day. Whether I’m caring for pets in my home or yours, safety and comfort are always my top priorities. I take the time to understand each pet’s routine, personality, and any special needs or quirks. I follow instructions closely, keep a clean and calm environment, and never leave pets unattended in unsafe situations. I also give regular updates so you always know how your pet is doing. My goal is to make sure they feel secure, happy, and at home—wherever they are.
About: I have always had a fur baby in my life. My husband and I recently lost both of our dogs and cat. I love walking, playing, snuggling and all other activities with pups. I will work with you on what your needs are for your fur family member while you are away. My ultimate goal is to have my own full time doggie care. I live in a neighborhood that’s great for walking or going to dog park at Sokol Park. I provide pickup and drop-off within a 10 miles. Above all, I will treat your pet like a member of my family & love on them while you’re away. I’m a PreK teacher so I’m free during the summer and most holidays. Even during the school year I am still able to stay at a client’s house if pet can be let alone during the day. My husband works from home so your pet will have someone with them during the day. However, your pet must not be very needy so that it doesn’t interfere with his work. He does take several breaks and your pet will have availability to be outside several times a day. I enjoy sitting outside enjoying the sunshine or going for walks is also fun activities for mine. We keep a large bed for your pet, toys, and a few treats. I love taking “paw” trips to the park or pet store. I am open to most anything your dog(s) needs.
“Audrey is fantastic! She took such great care of Mylo and even stayed with him overnight. My fur baby loves being with her, and she’s always so thoughtful and attentive to his needs. Thank you, Audrey!”

“April was great to work with. She reassured us that our cat would be well taken care of while we were out of town, and she sent photos and videos during each visit, which gave us a lot of peace of mind. We would absolutely trust her to pet sit again anytime.”
About: I have worked professionally with animals for over 12 years. I am a vet tech and can provide any type of care from your average house pets to your more exotic household pets such as rodents, reptiles and fish. I come with a plethora of references and would love to be your go to pet sitter while your out of town, working late or your pets desire some extra attention. I am a Tuscaloosa local so I will be available during all holidays, university breaks etc. I do own one dog names Snooki who is turning 10 this year. She is use to new dogs staying at our home because we perviously fostered for local area rescues. Please feel free to send me a message with any questions you may have.
“Wendy was awesome! She was punctual and was in touch with me frequently reporting my dog’s actions and responses to her. I felt very confident in her care. I will definitely use her again! Highly recommend.”
About: Animals are an absolute passion for me. With my compassion, caring nature, and familiarity with the basic needs of animals, I have the ability to care for pets perfectly. I have been passionate about animals since I was a child and this love for animals has grown over the years. I own 3 dog and a ferret – all are extremely well taken care of. Therefore, I am able to provide the same amount of love and care for your dogs as I do it for my own pets. My comprehension of the needs of pets, especially those of dogs, is outstanding – from feeding them food with the right nutrients to walking them, I know it all. I hope you will allow me to give your furry friend the best service! I currently work part-time. My availability is in the mornings and evenings during the week. On the weekends I am available at any time! Depending on the week, I may be available more times! I am very mindful of dog’s behavior in the home. I take my time when meeting a new dog and building trust. I also engage in providing positive reinforcement!
“Leah was absolutely incredible, took such good care of our fur babies and made sure to keep me updated every single day with tons of pictures! We definitely recommend using Leah to take care of your babies as well, you won’t be disappointed in any way. Our cats all seemed so happy, Leah even brought our cats toys for a Christmas present which was so nice and shows how much Leah really cares about your animals. We will definitely be booking again when we need a sitter again! ☺️”
About: I have experience with many animals, ranging from dogs to horses. I have been responsible for animal care for the last 7 years. I have experience with reactive dogs as well as seniors and puppies. I can handle the energetic pullers, but can also train them to stop pulling. I can train a few basic commands. I also have experience with senior and disabled animals. I am a student and a part-time employee! With no summer classes and short shifts ranging from 4-6 hours, I will have lots of free time this summer! I am very flexible and would love to accommodate your pet's schedule! I am very attentive to all animals under my care. I will always have my eyes on them and I love to provide enrichment activities.
“Alex was great!! We did the meet and greet the day before and I knew I could trust her. I got pictures everyday which gave me peace of mind and showed my cat eating and playing so I knew she was happy and comfortable. I would gladly use her services in the future!”
About: I have a dog at home, Grissom, who is 5 years old. I have had him and trained him from a puppy. I also have years of experience with larger dogs as well. I work Monday - Friday 7:15-4:15. I would be available early mornings before that or evenings nights after. During the weekends I have flexible availability. I’m a dog parent with years of loving experience. I am a teacher by day, with time in the afternoons and evenings to spend loving on my dog and others.
About: I have always loved cats, I have one of my own! Her name is Zelda and I love her like she’s my baby. I will change their water, feed them, love on them, play with them, and even change their litter! Whatever your cats needs are, I’m on it!
“Picked up my check-in request on short notice and met up the next day to go over everything and get the key. Was communicative and made sure my 9 month old cat got through the few days I was gone. Stinky Pete approved”
About: I got my first pet at 10, and he recently passed. I’ve been looking for a job that I can enjoy. I’m great with all pets and currently have a cat too! I used to take care of my family pets when I need to and care for my cat daily until I recently moved to college. It’s no hassle for me to take care of someone else’s pet and I do not have to rush. I would meet any requirements that a client needs when offering an overnight service or just walking a dog without hesitating! I understand the standards people have for their pets.
“Anna was very sweet and patient with our three animals. One dog was a bit hesitant the first day but Anna was incredibly patient and got the dog to love her. She stayed to play with the dogs even if it went over the 30 mins that we paid for. The pictures she sent were adorable and we will definitely use her for our next trip.”
About: I can remember every pet I’ve ever encountered. My family owns a small farm in Alabama, and I have been taking care of animals my entire life. Living in the city, I miss the animals, and I think this is a good way to help others while getting to play with and take care of your babies. <3 I’m a freelance writer and actress, so I’m home A LOT. I need a companion just as much as your pet when you’re out of town/working/cannot give the attention they require! :) There’s a courtyard here that is fenced in, but I’d prefer to walk pets over to Queens City park for a little nature. Pet babies always have water, iced when it’s hot out, and I recommend bringing their favorite toys! I like to play and snuggle, so hopefully they won’t miss you too much. Also, bring their snacks!!! I’m happy to go over tricks they’re learning as well.
“Catherine was amazing! She went above and beyond to make sure that my pups were well taken care of while my husband and I were away. Both of my dogs suffer from separation anxiety, and she did everything she could to make the both of them feel comfortable. She sent daily updates with photos at each drop in to let me know how they were doing!”
About: I have grown up always having a pet in the house so I very quickly found a love for animals, specifically dogs. I understand that dogs can differ in personality and I have a good idea on how to deal with certain behaviors, especially being a pet owner myself. P.S. I had to leave my fur baby while away at school so I would love to take care of yours! I'm currently working part-time as well as attending The University of Alabama but I will have plenty of time for your fur babies! I will be providing services primarily in the mornings as that is what works best for my schedule. I will be available between the hours of 6am-11am. I am focusing on dog-walking but I will occasionally provide drop in services as well, so I will follow any instructions I am given regarding caring for a pet in the client's home.

“I really appreciate Morgan. My schedule unfortunately almost caused a conflict with hers and she still went above and beyond to make sure Max enjoyed himself. Even as I picked Max up he continued to attempt to leave the car to go back with her, I could tell he enjoyed himself with her dog as well. Very appreciative! Definitely reach out to her about your fur baby.”
About: Hi furbaby parents! 🐕❤️ I know having to get sitter service, drop-in's or walks scheduled for your baby can be stressful nowadays. It's also hard to know who is the best fit, until you try. Life can be busy & demanding at times, & I understand the importance of finding the right one who will take great care of your baby. 🐶♥️ Being raised in the country with several furbabies, of various sizes with my grandma who was also an absolute furbaby-lover! So it just comes natural to me. Bc to me, they are our babies, our children & I have 30+ years experience of caring for them. Like us, they each have their own likes, dislikes, quirks & personalities. I have furkids myself & my house is setup for them- I just do the feeding, loving, treating, playing, replenish supplies & cleaning!🐶🥰 I have furbaby beds in several rooms, gates between doorways so in case someone wants to be alone, I can accommodate, or if your baby needs time to warm up to a new place, thats another reason to have gates, for them to meet & greet at their own pace. I just don't like the idea of having to stay in kennels, like at the vet! I have a whole playroom for furbaby friends with plenty of toys, beds & a fenced in backyard for supervised potty & play! My babies love everyone, but I know not everyone else's pups love the same things. I do understand how important the care for your baby is! Its important for them all feel safe & comfortable. I have kennels if needed, which we rarely use, with a spare room if needed. So if one wants to nap quietly & another wants to run & play, its no problem at all. *I can do boarding in my home, sitter service, stop by for drop-in visit & feed/water, potty & play, or stop by & take them for a walk. I can stop by for kitty care, but cant board Ms/Mr Kitty at my house, sorry. *Ater hours pickup/drop off is no problem. My furkids are neutered/ spayed, fully vaccinated & get monthly heartworm/hookwork flea/tick prevention 💊 Prevention & good health is very important to me, as I would hope yours is taken care of also. They love to play, & get along great with other furbabies! Your baby is in good hands here, & will have plenty of playtime & treats; OR if we just want to nap, we love that too! 😊 ✨️Message me & let me know what days/times you need. Lots of love to go around here. As mentioned, after hours is no problem for me, just let me know the Correct Dates/Times.🥰 ***FIRST TIME CLIENTS: Safety for all in important. Let's set up a quick meet & greet Prior to your baby's stay/care- especially for those "last minute needs"- emergencies happen. That way, I can get better acquainted with your baby & you, and so your baby isn't meeting me as a stranger on our first day of stay. **We will meet in a Public/Safe place. Thanks & hope to see you & your babies soon! 🥰UPDATE: Rover makes 20% of all earnings, I offer discounted or locked in rates for my Repeat clients or Regulars; I even do some private pay clients. I take care of furkids a little more "extra" than many furparents, I've been told! But to me that's a compliment! Bc being furbaby lover, I believe in real loving care, not just meeting basic needs. 🐕 🐈 🦮 🐈⬛️ **[PLEASE READ ALL- Including note under "A Typical Day".] Thanks!🐶❤️ I work locally & have recent changes in my schedule which gives me more availability. I also have my own precious furbabies at home, so it's not a new task. I would manage the same way I do for my own. So let me know what you need & I will get you on my calendar! And Thank you for inquiring with me. And much thanks to my current Regulars & for all the wonderful comments & reviews! I appreciate you all so much & I'm always here, so book early, as I only keep a few babies at a time, for adequate, attentive care! I have a treated fenced in back yard for our Supervised play & potty & security cameras in & outside my home for safety. Update: Please ensure your furbabies are up to date on vaccines. Cameras on and within property for safety. *I thought this should go in the safety area: I'm no stranger to the area. I'm originally from Fayette County. I have family here in Northport, Coker & Tuscaloosa. So, I am a lifelong local to the area, and have a complete background attached to my profile & also have updated Government Clearance. So rest assured, your baby is safe with me.
About: I’m a long time animal lover. I have been a trusted pet sitter for years through friends and referrals, now I’d like to offer reliable, professional care to my neighbors and community. My schedule is extremely flexible. I can board, I can go to you as needed, I have the time to take your pet out often and make sure they get all the zoomies out before they return home.

About: I have many years of experience with dogs and other pets of all kinds. I was a sitter for many local families and their pets were always taken care of and loved. I understand how important it is for pets to feel safe and comfortable while their owners are away, and I always treat every animal like my own. I am a college student completing my work online. I am home full time spend most of my dog spending time with my dog polar. I have a quiet house for dogs who prefer a more peaceful environment but I also have a fenced in park area where I sometimes spend the day at for more high energy pets. The environment is very safe and your pets will be watched and safe at all time.
“Zoe has a level of care for pets and for people that makes her stand out from the rest. She puts in so much time and love into making sure you AND your pet is comfortable. By far one of the best communicators I’ve encountered on Rover. Cannot say enough great things. 100/10”
About: I’ve been an animal lover for as long as I can remember, and caring for pets has always come naturally to me. Growing up, I regularly pet sat for neighbors, caring for dogs, cats, and even exotic animals, and over time I built a loyal client base in my hometown that turned pet sitting into a consistent job. I have experience with pets of all ages and sizes from training and keeping up with energetic puppies to providing gentle, attentive care for senior dogs. Having had dogs my entire life, including rescues from shelters, I’m very comfortable working with a wide range of personalities and temperaments. I can also administer medications and follow specific care routines, and I always prioritize creating a safe, calm, and loving environment so pets feel comfortable while their owners are away. I also make it a point to be highly responsive, so owners can count on me to quickly answer any calls or texts and provide updates for peace of mind. Pet sitting fits seamlessly into my weekly routine, especially during the summer. As a current senior at UA, I have a very flexible schedule and am looking to pet sit full time, which allows me to be fully available for boarding, walks, and regular potty breaks throughout the day. Because I’m not tied to a strict 9–5 schedule, I can give pets consistent attention, maintain their routines, and be present for their needs at all hours. This flexibility also means I can easily accommodate specific requests from owners and ensure their pets get the time, care, and supervision they deserve. I tailor my care based on each pet’s routine and the service requested, whether in my home or a client’s home. In my home, I create a safe, clean, and calm environment where pets can feel comfortable and relaxed, keeping to their usual feeding schedules, exercise needs, and any specific instructions provided. I make sure they get plenty of attention, playtime, and supervision throughout the day. In a client’s home, I focus on maintaining the pet’s normal routine as closely as possible so they feel secure in their familiar space. This includes feeding, walks, potty breaks, playtime, and any special care like administering medication or following training guidelines. I’m respectful of the home, keep everything tidy, and provide regular updates so owners know their pets are happy and well cared for.
“Alicia is so sweet! She was so good with my two pups. We used her for daycare and she sent me so many pics! She has a backyard which is great for our more energetic dog. Her dog and her kids were super friendly and gentle with our dogs. I could tell my babies were exhausted from when we got in the car.”
“Talhia was absolutely wonderful! this was my first time leaving my baby with someone else and she made me feel so much comfort. She sent pictures to me throughout the whole entire day , gave me updates on how she was doing, and loved my baby like it was her own. She will most definitely be my number one contact when I have to leave my baby.”
About: I am currently a student at UA and am the proud owner of a dog named Raymond, a sweet boxer/hound mix who is friendly with all other dogs. Having grown up surrounded by both dogs and cats, animals hold a special place in my heart. I am committed to providing open communication, sending regular updates and photos, so you can enjoy peace of mind while you’re away! I take the time to understand each pet’s unique personality, preferences, and routines, allowing me to provide the best care possible—whether it’s playtime, walks, or quiet companionship! I understand that pet owners need to trust the person caring for their loved ones. I have a history of being reliable and punctual, with positive references from clients who can attest to my dedication and integrity. My flexible nature allows me to adapt to different situations and the needs of various pets. Whether it's accommodating last-minute requests or adjusting care routines based on a pet's mood or energy level, I’m always ready to help. In my home, I provide a safe, spacious environment with designated areas for play, rest, and feeding. I ensure all pet-proofing measures are in place and maintain a routine that includes regular exercise, socialization, and mental stimulation through games and training. At a client’s home, I follow their established routines and guidelines closely, ensuring their pet feels comfortable and secure.
About: I understand what it means to leave your dog in someone else's care. That’s why your furry friend won’t just be a guest—they’ll be treated like family, with personalized care and lots of love. I currently don’t have pets at home, which allows me to provide exclusive attention to the dogs I care for. My furry family is in Mexico, my home country, and since I travel frequently, I can’t have them with me. This has only strengthened my dedication to care for other people’s pets with love, respect, and responsibility. I mostly work with repeat clients throughout the year. This helps me truly get to know each dog—their routines, their likes and dislikes—and make them feel calm and at home. Even though I’m still learning English, I always find ways to communicate clearly—using tools or translation support when needed. I’m committed to making every family feel heard, safe, and confident. If you're looking for someone to care for your dog as if they were their own—with love, respect, and dedication—I'm here to help! 💕 Pet care fits perfectly into my routine because I am passionate about their well-being. I plan my days flexibly to meet their needs, ensuring they get plenty of playtime, exercise, and companionship. Additionally, I organize my schedule to provide them with a safe and comfortable environment. I make sure each pet feels safe, comfortable, and well cared for according to their individual needs. In my clients' homes, I follow their usual routines to minimize stress for the pet, ensuring they receive the attention and companionship they need. Additionally, I maintain constant communication with the owners to give them peace of mind while they are away.
“Ansley and her fur baby, Koda have been amazing! Solo has had a blast 3 different play dates while we’ve been in Tuscaloosa! We received lots of pictures and videos of Solo having a wonderful time! Communication was awesome! We look forward to our next trip to Alabama so Solo can visit his friends again!”
About: I got my first family dog at the age of 12 and he was a 100 pound chocolate Labrador named Max. When I moved to Germany, I was not allowed to take him so he currently lives with my brother. After moving back to the US, I got my own toy poodle at the age of 16 named Eymber and was completely responsible for her. Once I moved to college, I got her a puppy named Koko and they absolutely love eachother. Eymber is now 5 years old and koko is 1. Occasionally, I stop by the Tuscaloosa animal shelter to volunteer and I love being the reason a pup was happy that day. I love my babies and all fur babies more than anything in the world!!💛 I graduated from the University of Alabama in December of 2024. I’m a stay at home wife while my spouse works at the Alberta elementary school of performing arts so I’ll have plenty of time to cafe for your pups. I have a small fenced in backyard and 2 adult toy poodles who are very sweet to everyone. I live in a small neighborhood with tons of space to take walks/runs. I also prefer a gentle approach when correcting behavior and I believe crates should be a safe space rather than punishment.
“Alysse was very accommodating, communicated consistently, and sent updates with photos. I had a last minute need for my pups to have some supervision and company and she was super understanding. Thanks so much. Would definitely book again :)”

All animals in my home or the clients themselves will be fed on the schedule i am given, It will be made sure of that water is always out for the animals and that they get the right amount of time to spend outside!!
About: Hi, I’m Aly! My house was never empty growing up—I was raised in a home full of cats, which taught me how to respect and care for even the pickiest feline personalities. At the same time, I’ve always been the go-to dog walker for my friends and family, and I've recently taken that passion professional. Currently, I’m active on Wag!, where I’ve completed multiple successful walks and have already secured a repeat client who trusts me with their dog’s daily exercise. I’m excited to expand to Rover to offer that same high level of care to both dog and cat owners in the Tuscaloosa area! As a flexible independent worker, my schedule is my own, which means I can easily prioritize your pet’s routine! Whether it’s a mid-day check-in or a last-minute visit, I have the freedom to be there when you can’t. When I’m not hanging out with your pets, you’ll usually find me curled up with a book or learning a new skill. Since I value a calm and relaxed environment, I’m the perfect match for your pet who enjoy a peaceful presence or a quiet companion to sit with them while they nap. I focus on providing personalized care that matches your pet’s unique energy level. Whether I’m visiting for a drop-in or staying overnight, my priority is maintaining the routine that makes them feel safe and happy.
About: What sets me different from others is the genuine connections I have with Dogs. A Dog is a man bestfriend and I love that quote. I single handedly trained all my dogs and others. Took time out to build that trust, connection, and loyalty to make sure we trust each other and be there for each other. I currently just graduated school. I went to Troy University out of high school and transferred to the University of Mississippi for my final year. Right now I have alot of free time on my hands and can work around any schedule. I care for pets the same way I care for a human. But also with the understanding the dog has to know your the “Top Dog” in a sense so it knows to respect you and not turn against you.

I am a full-time student at the University of Alabama, but I have a flexible schedule that allows me to care for pets throughout the week. I’m available for walks, feeding, playtime, and check-ins for both dogs and cats. I always make sure pets get the attention and care they need while their owners are away.

About: Animals are an absolute passion for me. With my compassion, caring nature, and familiarity with the basic needs of animals, I have the ability to care for pets perfectly. I have been passionate about animals since I was a child and this love for animals has grown over the years. I own 3 dog and a ferret – all are extremely well taken care of. Therefore, I am able to provide the same amount of love and care for your dogs as I do it for my own pets. My comprehension of the needs of pets, especially those of dogs, is outstanding – from feeding them food with the right nutrients to walking them, I know it all. I hope you will allow me to give your furry friend the best service! I currently work part-time. My availability is in the mornings and evenings during the week. On the weekends I am available at any time! Depending on the week, I may be available more times! I am very mindful of dog’s behavior in the home. I take my time when meeting a new dog and building trust. I also engage in providing positive reinforcement!
About: I’ve taken care of dogs and cats since I was 10 years old, from the neighborhoods dog to good friends. I also breed French bulldogs and very knowledgeable on welping litters. I currently work remotely from home, so I'll be at home majority of the day with your fur baby to give them 100% of my attention. I prioritize pet care by meeting their needs. Daily picture and video updates are sent of your fur baby. Trust is key—I maintain a safe environment free of harmful substances. Additionally, I promote exercise and mental stimulation for their well-being.
About: I have worked professionally with animals for over 12 years. I am a vet tech and can provide any type of care from your average house pets to your more exotic household pets such as rodents, reptiles and fish. I come with a plethora of references and would love to be your go to pet sitter while your out of town, working late or your pets desire some extra attention. I am a Tuscaloosa local so I will be available during all holidays, university breaks etc. I do own one dog names Snooki who is turning 10 this year. She is use to new dogs staying at our home because we perviously fostered for local area rescues. Please feel free to send me a message with any questions you may have.
About: I am a loving dog mom who views pet care as a privilege rather than a job. I have three dogs of my own and have been taking care of pets basically my whole life. I want people to feel they can be absent without being missed while I keep their pets happy, healthy, and entertained at their home or mine. I am currently working part-time so I have plenty of time to keep your pups entertained and cared for whether it be house sitting, walking, stop-ins, or boarding. Can board anytime of the week as long as pet is crate trained (crate is provided by me). I have a fenced in back yard with 3 friendly dogs to keep your furry friend entertained. Dogs are more the welcome to run around and play inside my home as well. I have lots of toys and lots of energy. My dogs and I love going on walks just as much as we love cuddling on the couch watching movies.
“I contacted Catherine at the very last minute because Wag canceled 30 minutes prior to a scheduled walk. Catherine was awesome. She came right over and took Stella on a walk for me. She sent me pictures and kept me updated. I won’t be booking a walk with Wag ever again... I will be using Catherine instead!”
About: I can remember every pet I’ve ever encountered. My family owns a small farm in Alabama, and I have been taking care of animals my entire life. Living in the city, I miss the animals, and I think this is a good way to help others while getting to play with and take care of your babies. <3 I’m a freelance writer and actress, so I’m home A LOT. I need a companion just as much as your pet when you’re out of town/working/cannot give the attention they require! :) There’s a courtyard here that is fenced in, but I’d prefer to walk pets over to Queens City park for a little nature. Pet babies always have water, iced when it’s hot out, and I recommend bringing their favorite toys! I like to play and snuggle, so hopefully they won’t miss you too much. Also, bring their snacks!!! I’m happy to go over tricks they’re learning as well.
About: Hey everyone! I’m Becca and I have 10+ years in the pet care industry, and care for most species of animals! I have 3 fur babies of my own: a dog, a rabbit, and a cat. Animals are my life and I have spent the last few years working at several animal hospitals in the Tuscaloosa and Birmingham areas. I care for dogs, as well as anything from cats to reptiles to fish to rodents. I work remotely in high ticket sales, but I will have plenty of time to spend with your fur babies! I do pet care every day of my life with having animals of my own, and always make sure they living the best life possible! For drop-ins, I follow instructions given to me by the clients. I double check everything to make sure I am all set before I leave.
About: I’ve been caring for animals since I was 10, my family trains hunting dogs and I have been dog sitting since middle school. I love older dogs! I work remote and have a lot of free time to walk your dog, take it to the dog park, or let it play with my dog in the house. I live in an apartment near downtown but am extremely careful about where I walk dogs. I prefer the dog to have a harness so it is easier/safer to walk if it pulls on the leash.
About: I have a dog and 2 cats of my own so I consider myself experienced in pet care. I have dog sat for many years now for both neighbors and family. Since I have owned many cats over the years I also consider myself experienced in cat care. I don’t mind cleaning up after pets and I can give medicine to unwilling pets. I don’t currently have a job so I my schedule is very flexible. I also don’t mind getting up early if necessary for your pet. I have a fenced backyard and my pets are friendly. I can easily crate your pet if that’s what they’re used to. I can also come to your house to take them out and give them plenty of love.
About: I have a strong love for all dogs. They have a special place in my heart and will treat them as my own. I may live in an apartment, but I’ll make sure your pup(s) have a great time. I will do a potty break or a nice walk/play time every 3-4hrs. I’ll make sure your pup will feel at home! I currently work two jobs. M-F my days are usually 8-4:30.

I’ll make sure your pup has fresh food and water each day. If they get along with other dogs, I’ll take them to the dog park! Make sure they have great time outside and inside!
About: I’ve been an animal lover for as long as I can remember, and caring for pets has always come naturally to me. Growing up, I regularly pet sat for neighbors, caring for dogs, cats, and even exotic animals, and over time I built a loyal client base in my hometown that turned pet sitting into a consistent job. I have experience with pets of all ages and sizes from training and keeping up with energetic puppies to providing gentle, attentive care for senior dogs. Having had dogs my entire life, including rescues from shelters, I’m very comfortable working with a wide range of personalities and temperaments. I can also administer medications and follow specific care routines, and I always prioritize creating a safe, calm, and loving environment so pets feel comfortable while their owners are away. I also make it a point to be highly responsive, so owners can count on me to quickly answer any calls or texts and provide updates for peace of mind. Pet sitting fits seamlessly into my weekly routine, especially during the summer. As a current senior at UA, I have a very flexible schedule and am looking to pet sit full time, which allows me to be fully available for boarding, walks, and regular potty breaks throughout the day. Because I’m not tied to a strict 9–5 schedule, I can give pets consistent attention, maintain their routines, and be present for their needs at all hours. This flexibility also means I can easily accommodate specific requests from owners and ensure their pets get the time, care, and supervision they deserve. I tailor my care based on each pet’s routine and the service requested, whether in my home or a client’s home. In my home, I create a safe, clean, and calm environment where pets can feel comfortable and relaxed, keeping to their usual feeding schedules, exercise needs, and any specific instructions provided. I make sure they get plenty of attention, playtime, and supervision throughout the day. In a client’s home, I focus on maintaining the pet’s normal routine as closely as possible so they feel secure in their familiar space. This includes feeding, walks, potty breaks, playtime, and any special care like administering medication or following training guidelines. I’m respectful of the home, keep everything tidy, and provide regular updates so owners know their pets are happy and well cared for.

“I am so happy with the care that Graci Jo received from Talhia! Talhia obviously loves dogs and loves what she does! I love receiving pictures, and Talhia is so good about that. I highly recommend Talhia!”
“I can’t give Anna enough good reviews she is literally my go to every time I need a sitter for BJ and she never lets me down! BJ absolutely loves being with Anna and he always comes home happy and tired from a fun day. Thank you Anna you’re the best!”
“Bailey’s stay with Morgan was FABULOUS! I volunteer for Lost Dogs Illinois so I know firsthand how many dogs are lost when with a sitter. Morgan was super patient with my many questions and happily allowed a meet and greet in advance of Bailey’s stay so I could see her home and yard. When we arrived for Bailey’s stay, Mason and Morgan had it planned very carefully for a safe introduction to another dog staying with them and their dog, Tug. During her stay, Bailey enjoyed playing with Tug and the other pup visiting. Morgan sent me photo and video updates and was always super speedy in her responses to my texts. I could not be happier with Bailey’s stay with Morgan, Mason, and Tug. I’m sure she’ll be back with Morgan when we visit our Bama student again in the future.”
“Second stay with Catherine and he loves it there! I love the peace of mind that he is well cared for while I am gone and get regular updates to keep me updated. Thanks again!”
“She was great. House was clean, doggie updates were adorable and pups came home happy and bathed. Be really specific on pick up and drop off times well in advance and this is a perfect sitter”
About: I’m a long time animal lover. I have been a trusted pet sitter for years through friends and referrals, now I’d like to offer reliable, professional care to my neighbors and community. My schedule is extremely flexible. I can board, I can go to you as needed, I have the time to take your pet out often and make sure they get all the zoomies out before they return home. I provide a clean, safe, and calm environment where your dog can relax and feel at home. I’m attentive, reliable, and prioritize safety, structure, and clear communication at all times.
About: Over the past six years, I have provided reliable, dedicated care for dogs of various sizes and needs, including managing multi-day house sittings and extended week-long stays. Most recently, I successfully provided a private, two-week boarding experience for a 50-pound dog, handling all daily feeding, exercise, and companionship routines flawlessly. I am a highly organized, detailed, and punctual person, meaning I prioritize consistency, safety, and communication. Whether your pup needs active playtime, strict medication schedules, or just a comfortable place to lounge, I am motivated to assist and support your family by providing top-tier care.

Because I maintain a consistent schedule, you can count on me to be exceptionally punctual with feedings, check-ins, and updates. I live full-time in Tuscaloosa with my own friendly, well-behaved mini Bernedoodle, who is almost three years old. He loves company and provides great socialization for guest pets! When hosting dogs in my home, safety is my absolute top priority. I ensure a clean, calm, and secure environment where your pet will be treated like family. I am highly attentive to behavioral cues and comfortable managing medium-to-large breeds.

About: I have always had a fur baby in my life. My husband and I recently lost both of our dogs and cat. I love walking, playing, snuggling and all other activities with pups. I will work with you on what your needs are for your fur family member while you are away. My ultimate goal is to have my own full time doggie care. I live in a neighborhood that’s great for walking or going to dog park at Sokol Park. I provide pickup and drop-off within a 10 miles. Above all, I will treat your pet like a member of my family & love on them while you’re away. I’m a PreK teacher so I’m free during the summer and most holidays. Even during the school year I am still able to stay at a client’s house if pet can be let alone during the day. My husband works from home so your pet will have someone with them during the day. However, your pet must not be very needy so that it doesn’t interfere with his work. He does take several breaks and your pet will have availability to be outside several times a day. I enjoy sitting outside enjoying the sunshine or going for walks is also fun activities for mine. We keep a large bed for your pet, toys, and a few treats. I love taking “paw” trips to the park or pet store. I am open to most anything your dog(s) needs.
“Audrey is fantastic! She took such great care of Mylo and even stayed with him overnight. My fur baby loves being with her, and she’s always so thoughtful and attentive to his needs. Thank you, Audrey!”
“Danielle was in every sense excellent. She was far more capable than myself of watching these guys and was so chilled out during their entire stay as if to say, “don’t worry, i’ve got it.” My guys, Robby and Zoe, would exceedingly recommend that you book her at once. Thank you.”
“Our 2 Aussies had so much fun with Stephanie and her 2 dogs! She sent me daily pictures and updates. She was so accommodating with our travel plans. I would definitely book again!”
About: Every dog is treated like family and cared for in a quiet, low-stress (300 acre) farm environment designed around their comfort and routine. With over 15 years of experience, I specialize in small-scale, boutique boarding with a very limited number of dogs at a time, ensuring close attention, consistency, and a calm atmosphere. Dogs follow a steady, predictable routine that includes outdoor time in a large fenced play area with partial shade for running and play, daily leash walks around the property, enrichment activities, and rest tailored to each dog’s individual needs and energy level. Dogs are thoughtfully matched by temperament to support a safe, comfortable environment. I have two well-socialized dogs of my own who enjoy other dogs, but interaction is always based on each visiting dog’s comfort level. If a dog prefers space or does best without other dogs, they can have a calm, low-traffic stay with minimal or no interaction. For dogs who enjoy socializing, my dogs provide friendly companionship in a supervised, relaxed setting. For dogs who do best on their own, I also offer the option of exclusive care—meaning no other client dogs will be booked during their stay. This allows for a fully personalized experience with my full attention. Dogs stay in a clean, climate-controlled indoor suite with indoor rest areas and direct access to a private fenced outdoor space. The focus is on individualized, attentive care where each dog can relax, feel secure, and settle in quickly. Caring for your dog is part of my daily routine since I’m home full-time on the 300 acre farm with the dogs throughout the day. Dogs enjoy a consistent schedule that includes outdoor play, walks, enrichment, meals, and rest, all tailored to their individual needs and energy levels. I stay hands-on with their care and provide regular updates so you feel comfortable while you're away. I provide structured, attentive care in a calm farm setting designed to help dogs feel safe and comfortable. Dogs enjoy outdoor play, leash walks, enrichment activities, meals, and rest breaks tailored to their individual needs and energy levels. I provide regular up-dates with photos and videos, and you can check in any time to see how your pup is doing. Dogs have access to a clean, climate-controlled indoors, which is especially helpful for dogs who need their own space or do best with limited interaction. Since I also have two dogs of my own, I carefully manage introductions and can provide fully separate accommodations with no direct contact with other dogs if needed. There’s also a separate large fenced and partially shaded outdoor area where dogs can safely play, explore, and relax throughout the day.
