“Katie and her family was so accommodating and wonderful to work with. I got daily updates and made me feel at ease while we were on vacation. Our weimerainer is an old girl and was t sure how’d she be but she ended up feeling right at home with Katie. 10 outta 10 recommend”
“Kayte and crew did a fantastic job of having our big puppy Cosmo for 3 nights! Her and her husband are super friendly and sent us daily updates and pics of our boy’s first time sleep over! We will happily hire her services again!”
“Savannah and her family were wonderful! She provided frequent updates and plenty of photos during Ellie’s stay, which gave me great peace of mind. Drop-off and pick-up were smooth and efficient, and communication was excellent—she was always responsive and easy to reach. I highly recommend her!”
“If I could leave 10 out of 5 stars I would! Amanda was wonderful and we could not have asked for a better experience. Besides being kind, gentle, and thoughtful, she was very caring and gave our dog lots of attention. We had multiple pictures and videos, which were so nice. She took Oliver on walks every day, not down the street, but to a park every day. She also fed him home cooked chicken (with my approval) to try to get him to eat (picky eater!). I know Oliver had a great time and it was so nice not worrying about our little boy! We will definitely use her again! Thank you Amanda!”
“Jessica was great! We got pictures every day and a video too! We could tell she made our old girl comfortable and happy in a new environment. She also has a one level house with no stairs to the backyard which is great for dogs with arthritis. We will definitely use her again next time we go out of town!”
“Very nice couple. Our Shih-tzu was wore out from playing with other pups her size. Kristen kept us updated throughout the stay with pictures and videos. Will use again.”
“Doug is a very thoughtful and kind sitter. He took excellent care of my elderly puppy and kept me updated on how she was doing. I am very thankful that he was able to take care of her while we were away!”
“Carli was a huge help taking our pup on a last minute request! She has great communication and was able to work with a couple changes in our travel plans to work out best for everyone. She stuck to our dogs schedule to keep him happy and comfortable and we didn’t have to worry about him at all for the duration of his stay.”
“Brittney was awesome! She sent lots of photos and kept me updated on how my dog was doing throughout her stay! Remi came home tired and happy! Brittney even got her to eat most of her food which Remi can be weird about in new places! Would definitely recommend her to a friend and will definitely be using again!”
“Buddy obviously had an amazing time this weekend. He seemed excited to be home, but after the initial excitement died down, he stood by the door wanting to go back. :)”
“Cava and Mimosa stayed with Anthony for 4 days and we were always updated on how they were doing and got pictures. I felt comfortable with my babies staying with him and would definitely use him again in the future.”
“Randy did an amazing job of watching my Suki. When I dropped her off he showed me around his house and yard, so I could see where she’d be living while I was away. His home is gorgeous with a really amazing backyard she can run around in. He sent me plenty of pictures and videos so I could see how she was doing. He really went above and beyond. He took her to the pet store and got her a new toy, took her to the dog park multiple times, even gave her a bath and got a special dog shampoo for her. I’ve used this app a lot and never had anyone do as much for my dog as he did. I couldn’t believe he’d been on the app so long and my dog was the first one he’d watched. I’d 10000% recommend Randy to watch your fur baby if you want the peace of mind of knowing they’ll be treated like family. I’d give him 10 stars if I could. ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ Thanks again Randy!”
“Opal was amazing! She took on our sweet guy for a last minute booking. We received constant updates throughout his stay. She was very detailed oriented in getting to know him and what made him comfortable. We felt like he was safe and loved in our absence. We will absolutely we booking with her in the future.”
“Tatiana was WONDERFUL! She walked Harley a ton which I know Harley enjoyed, especially after a long car ride the day before. I could tell immediately that Harley was comfortable with Tatiana and her family and that’s saying a lot because Harley can be very timid and shy around new people. Thank you for sending plenty of picture updates too, I’ll definitely be booking again when I’m in the area!!!”
“Stephanie did a great job with our boy Bodhi. She was sweet, caring and we can tell Bodhi enjoyed his stay. Highly recommend her. She will be our go to in the future.”

Whether it’s playtime, feeding routines, litter box care, or simply providing a comforting presence, I take the time to ensure each cat feels safe, secure, and understood. Our own cat is leash-trained, reflecting the care and patience we bring to every aspect of feline responsibility. I know how important your cat’s health, comfort, and emotional well-being are, especially when your schedule keeps you busy or you’re away from home.

“We were extremely pleased with how well Stephanie took care of our cat. He needed insulin shots twice a day on a 12 hour schedule and we were nervous leaving this to a pet sitter.

“Davonna did a great job with Sly. He's a very shy cat. She was very good with that and was able to keep him as comfortable about us being gone as she could. Love that she was punctual, communicated well with us, and was reliable. Thanks Davonna... we will definitely be back in touch when we need a sitter again.”

“My babies came home fully intact! No parts missing lol! Jessica was a great host for my children. She sent updates throughout the day along with photographs.

Yep, my babies came home just as I dropped them off, happy and all parts intact! Thank you Jessica!”
“Wren had a great tume with Jennifer. I had to make thos booking last mi ute because of an urgent work thing. I was glad she was able to accomodate. This was Wren's second time and he was immediately comfortable seeing her. She is gentle with him, followed all our instructions. We'd be happy to have him do day care again”
“We were planning to leave our pups in a large kennel outside because we were only taking a day trip. Last minute, I feel that it is going to be too cold for me to be comfortable leaving them outside. David agreed to take them last minute, easing my concerns. We felt our pups were well cared for during their time with David. He kept us updated on them settling in. He sent us a video of our pups outside, behaving as they would if they were home. All of David's interactions with us during their stay allowed us to enjoy time with our family without concern. We are also sitters so, the fact that I would highly recommend David should speak volumes.”

About: I have over nine years of experience caring for dogs, including one year as a boarder. Growing up, I fostered dogs and cared for pets of all sizes and temperaments. I genuinely love spending time with dogs, but since I can’t have one where I live, getting to walk and care for them every day brings me so much joy! Whether your pup needs extra playtime, careful attention, or a dependable walker, I’m here to help. As an online student at UAB, I have a flexible schedule and can accommodate walks and pet care throughout any day of the week. I’m usually up by 6 AM, so I’m available for early morning walks if needed. However, I prefer not to do nighttime walks for safety reasons. Whether your pup needs a midday walk or an afternoon play session, I’m happy to be there! I provide pet care in clients’ homes, following all given instructions to ensure consistency and comfort for your dog. Whether it’s walking, exercise, feeding schedules, or crate time, I follow routines closely to keep pets happy and stress-free. I prioritize safety, trust, and personalized care to make sure your pet feels comfortable while you’re away.
About: With over 16 years of experience in animal care, I bring a strong background in both small and large animals, including horses, livestock, and dogs. I’ve worked in veterinary clinics and dog boarding facilities, which gave me hands-on experience with animals of all temperaments and needs. While I value the structure of those settings, I believe in-home care is the most comfortable and stress-free option for most pets. I currently care for two dogs and two horses of my own, and I approach every client’s animal with the same level of respect, patience, and attentiveness I give my own. House Sitting Availability: I’m available for overnight care only, providing feeding, walks, and supervision during the night hours. Drop-In Visits Availability: I can provide up to two drop-in visits per day, including feeding, potty breaks, and basic care. In home boarding : I live in an apartment with a fenced deck, have two friendly dogs, and kids aged 3 and 8. I provide plenty of walks, playtime, and attention. I never board more than one family at a time, so your pup gets all the care and attention they need while you’re away. I prioritize safety and trust above all else when caring for pets in your home. Creating a calm, secure environment is essential to help your pets feel comfortable and relaxed while you’re away. I treat your home and pets with the same respect and care I would expect for my own!
About: Hi, I am Jamie and I’ve taken care of animals since I can remember. I have experience caring for a lot of different animals from horses, cats, a Greyhound, a family Frenchie, hermit crabs, a bearded dragon, and even working at a vets office for some time as a teenager. To now training and raising our Labrador Retriever and offering farm sitting services.

About: Growing up, I always had several dogs in my home, and have even adopted two of my own. Over the years I’ve gained a lot of experience working with hundreds of animals with a wide range of breeds and pets of all ages and sizes. I have experience taking care of dogs anywhere from feeding to walking to playing (etc) for any age range and any size. As mentioned in the title, I have experience working at Birmingham’s local Humane Society and in that time learned a lot about animal behavior. This will help me ensure an animal’s comfort level, safety and trust during my time caring for them. I believe the key to taking care of animals is showing them genuine love and patience. I love animals and do this work to make some money on the side, but also because it brings me so much joy! All pets are considered family, so it’s guaranteed to treat them as such. Your pet’s happiness and safety are top priority so I aim to create a fun and stress free environment for everyone. I’m currently working side hustle jobs that give me the benefit of working with a very flexible schedule. Whatever your needs will be for me to properly care for for animals will be easily catered to during my time caring for your pet/pets. During my stay at a client’s home, I will be able to cater to the pet’s regular routine. I also am comfortable and experienced giving dogs medication if they are on a vet prescribed medicine. I am happy to discuss any needs of the household and go over any expectations of my tile in your space.

I’m used to being on the move and keeping up with each pet’s schedule. This isn’t just a side gig — it’s a big part of my life, and I’m fully committed to giving every pet the time and attention they deserve. I provide care in my clients’ homes where pets are most comfortable and relaxed. I stick to their usual routine as much as possible — whether that means feeding, walks, playtime, or giving medication. I’m big on building trust with each animal and making sure they feel safe while their person is away. I always leave things clean, double-check food and water, and send updates so you know your pet is in good hands.
About: Just a girl who loves all animals. I currently have 3 dogs (Colie, Sargie and Frankie baby), 4 cats (Eddy boy, Mae Mae, Mookie, Mama girl) and One adorable pot bellied pig (Pancake aka Bubba). 😊 I am currently available Monday thru Sunday. Early mornings are fine. I am available evenings as well, but 7pm would be the latest that I would be available. At the moment I wouldn't be boarding my clients pets at my home. I am available to come to their home and I will care for them there.
About: I love fur babies! I have had pets all of my life and from cats and dogs to even dwarf frogs. Big, tall, short, and small- I will love them all! I understand the stress of leaving town and worrying about your fur babies! I am more than happy to send cute photos for you to archive while you are away to let you know your baby is happy, healthy, and safe! I have an extremely open schedule. I would love to make pet sitting my full time job! Regular clients are welcome! Give me all of the dates you think you might need me and I will clear my calendar! I often take my pup out with me! I feel brain stimulation of any kind keeps them happy and healthy! Walks are important! Enrichment time along with gentle training: treats to sit or lay down.
About: I’ve grown up with all types of pets and even farm animals! I love all dog and cat breeds- and bunnies! I know how to give pets medicine and clean a litter box! I am a college student so my schedule varies a lot but I have lots of free time in the mornings, lunch and late afternoons! I have a fenced in yard! I love to go on walks and playing with dogs, or just chilling with your pet if they need company!

“Katie and her family was so accommodating and wonderful to work with. I got daily updates and made me feel at ease while we were on vacation. Our weimerainer is an old girl and was t sure how’d she be but she ended up feeling right at home with Katie. 10 outta 10 recommend”
“Kayte and crew did a fantastic job of having our big puppy Cosmo for 3 nights! Her and her husband are super friendly and sent us daily updates and pics of our boy’s first time sleep over! We will happily hire her services again!”
“Savannah and her family were wonderful! She provided frequent updates and plenty of photos during Ellie’s stay, which gave me great peace of mind. Drop-off and pick-up were smooth and efficient, and communication was excellent—she was always responsive and easy to reach. I highly recommend her!”
“If I could leave 10 out of 5 stars I would! Amanda was wonderful and we could not have asked for a better experience. Besides being kind, gentle, and thoughtful, she was very caring and gave our dog lots of attention. We had multiple pictures and videos, which were so nice. She took Oliver on walks every day, not down the street, but to a park every day. She also fed him home cooked chicken (with my approval) to try to get him to eat (picky eater!). I know Oliver had a great time and it was so nice not worrying about our little boy! We will definitely use her again! Thank you Amanda!”
“Jessica was great! We got pictures every day and a video too! We could tell she made our old girl comfortable and happy in a new environment. She also has a one level house with no stairs to the backyard which is great for dogs with arthritis. We will definitely use her again next time we go out of town!”
“Carli was a huge help taking our pup on a last minute request! She has great communication and was able to work with a couple changes in our travel plans to work out best for everyone. She stuck to our dogs schedule to keep him happy and comfortable and we didn’t have to worry about him at all for the duration of his stay.”
“Brittney was awesome! She sent lots of photos and kept me updated on how my dog was doing throughout her stay! Remi came home tired and happy! Brittney even got her to eat most of her food which Remi can be weird about in new places! Would definitely recommend her to a friend and will definitely be using again!”

She was very detailed oriented in getting to know him and what made him comfortable. We felt like he was safe and loved in our absence. We will absolutely we booking with her in the future.”
“Tatiana was WONDERFUL! She walked Harley a ton which I know Harley enjoyed, especially after a long car ride the day before. I could tell immediately that Harley was comfortable with Tatiana and her family and that’s saying a lot because Harley can be very timid and shy around new people. Thank you for sending plenty of picture updates too, I’ll definitely be booking again when I’m in the area!!!”

“⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Sac was wonderful with my dog, April! She took great care of him and kept me updated with messages and photos, which gave me peace of mind while I was away. April came home happy, healthy, and well cared for. It was clear that Sac treated him like her own dog. I highly recommend her to anyone looking for a reliable, caring, and trustworthy pet sitter. Thank you, Sac, for taking such great care of April!”
“Jonathan was fantastic! He accepted my booking request on short notice, which was a huge help. He kept me updated throughout my dog’s stay with pictures, giving me peace of mind while I was away.

Jonathan and his family were kind and welcoming, and it was clear my dog was well cared for and loved!”
