“Savannah was great! She even sat down with my dog, who is terrified of grooming, and brushed through her ridiculously large amount of fur for 45 minutes! You can tell she has a love for animals.”
“Bama 🐶 had a great first time boarding stay with Kristen and her family. Kristen communicated during his stay and sent pics which eased my mind that he was doing well. He felt loved and right at home with them. I would definitely book with them again and i know he would love to come back!”
“⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ 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!”
“Danielle was great in providing pictures of our pet and taking care of him while we were out of town. Would definitely ask her to watch our pet again in the future!”
“Kyler was very responsive and made us feel so comfortable leaving our two German Shepard with her for the first time. I appreciated how she received the dogs and helped them get acclimated before introducing them to the other sweet pups in her care. She was great with updates and we loved all the pictures she sent. She even provided some special treats for our pups on their last morning which pictures proved they thoroughly enjoyed! We had a great experience with Kyler and will definitely be using her services again in the future.”
“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!”

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.”
“They took great care of my Aussiedoodle. He looked so happy in every photo. She sent plenty of photos and him and each photo had a little blurb of how he was doing. It was very cute! I would totally trust them again with him. It makes it more enjoyable for him that they have their own dogs as well. I know he enjoyed playing with them.”
“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.

I highly recommend Nancy for your dog sitter and you will not have to worry about their happiness or safety.”

“Felicity took care of our two cats over Xmas and did a fantastic job! She’s super thorough and communicative, plus she sends great pictures 😊 We felt very comfortable leaving our kitties in her care and will definitely use her again in the future. Highly recommended!”
“Ashlyn provided drop in visits for our 2 dogs while we were away. She was wonderful & took such great care of them. They warmed up to her very quickly & were in great spirits when we got home. Would highly recommend!”
“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.”
“Jessie was amazing!! She was very dependable and took great care of our cat, Luna, while were on vacation. Our shy cat warmed up to her very quickly and was happy to see Jessie each day. We loved that Jessie sent us pictures and videos with daily updates. I could tell that Luna was in great hands and much less stressed. Jessie treated Luna just like her own fur baby and gave her all the love and attention she is used to getting while we are home. Overall, this was such a great experience, and I would recommend Jessie to anyone. We will definitely book again next time.”

About: Ive taken care of animals since I was a child, I volunteer at pet shelters and have training as a vet tech from a vet clinic. I am a mama bear when it comes to all animals, they are treated with respect and love. I am a receptionist and mother of 2 boys, and my husband works from home as an accountant. Your dog or cat will be in great hands, I will walk them and take potty breaks. When I am away at work or the store they will be separated from other animals and given toys and water until I get home. I keep an eye on them with a baby monitor. My husband works from home and will also be helping me take care of the fur babies. When we are home they will be out and monitored and loved on. They sleep in crates at night on occasion or in our bed. They get healthy treats and tons of toys. They have a fenced yard to play and run in.

“This Riley's first stay with Breanna and Jason and it was a big hit 😀 Riley came home happy and tired 🤗 I will say that Breanna and Jason have a very handsome Golden of their own that might have influenced Riley's attitude 😉 Both of the hoomans were kind, courteous and flexible with my plans and took time to properly introduce my Riley to their home and see that she was well cared for. We look forward to seeing Breanna and Jason and family again soon 😊”
About: I have taken care of pets, not only cats and dogs, since I was a young child. I thoroughly enjoy seeing to their needs and providing them the love and care they need! I currently work part time, and my schedule is very flexible, so I am happy to work around your schedule. Early mornings are okay with me too since I’m an early riser! I am very intuitive and will make sure that your pets are well taken care of. I take pride in making sure that your pet gets the care it needs.
About: I have had the privilege of always having dogs. For me, there’s no greater joy! I was actually nicknamed at a young age “the dog whisperer” and I promise you it fits! I regard a dog’s care and routine with the utmost respect. I see the value in both physical and mental stimulation for your dog. Whether it’s playing games, learning commands, an agility course, or scent work, there are so many ways to introduce enrichment. Two of my own dogs have disabilities, one who is deaf and has seizures and one who had a leg amputated due to cancer (but he’s in remission and he’s loving life as a tripod!). So I am very familiar and comfortable with administering medication, following a specific care routine, and most importantly, giving all the belly rubs and kisses needed! I want your dog to feel secure with me and want me around, so I’m happy to do a meet and greet to get our journey together started! I work from home during the week and I’m off on weekends. I am usually available even with little notice. I am happy to provide whatever help you need that is best for your dog. Walks, playing, snuggles, and anything else needed! I take safety very seriously! I do not allow on leash greetings (unless you let me know who your pup’s neighborhood friends are and then I’m happy to let them say hi). I carry pet corrector in case an off leash dog approaches. I am very observant to dog behaviors and body language and I will quickly become in tune with your dog. I know how stressful it can be trusting someone with your dog so I’m happy to provide as many updates and photos as you like. I have a 2 acre fenced in yard (8’ high fence) that is secure and safe. The perfect space for playing, sniffs, or just being lazy! I have 3 friendly Great Danes that love animals! They are used to having their furry friends come over and play.
“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 adore dogs and would love to take care of your family members. I work from home so I’m able to be a consistent companion during the day, have a fenced yard for play, am active and love to take walks (if your pup likes). My old gal was with us for 17 years so I have elderly dog experience. I’m so excited to love on your dogs. I work from home, so during the week I am here most of the time apart from going to the gym or running errands. On weekends if your pet can’t be left alone for a couple of hours just check in with me at booking! I have a fenced yard, no pets currently, and a son (17) who is super sweet but usually at school or soccer training. I’m able to provide frequent breaks and walks.
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: First off, I love dogs! The relationship we share with them is unbreakable. I’ve always had dogs in my life, ever since I was a little girl. I have experienced dogs ranging from toy poodles to roitweilers. I have gained knowledge on the diffeeent personalities of dogs and not one is the same, which makes dogs so interesting. My personality, nevertheless, is kind. I enjoy making people’s day and helping others out through volunteering. I am currently a student at the University of South Alabama and majoring in accounting. With this being my major it is clear I like a challenge. It allows for no dull moments and to keep me very well organized with my day-to-day life. I am dedicated to strive and succeed in life.

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 have 5 years experience pet sitting for friends and family as well. They are the support system that told me about this app. Work from home but it’s not very demanding. Extremely flexible schedule. Pets need routines just as much as humans do for a sense of calm and safety. To continue to keep your (our) fur baby safe I will keep trash cans covered or inside a latched cabinet. Move all chemicals to high shelves or behind secure doors. Keep cords, chargers, and other potentially harmful items out of reach.

About: I've cared for animals ever since I was able to. When my family is away, I look after five dogs, one cat, two guinea pigs, & a fish. I've also cared for goats & chickens. We also have a homemade natural dog treat business that is made with real ingredients with no preservatives, called "Furryheartsbarkery". I currently work a full time job so as long as your fur baby will be okay for a few hours during the days/times i am scheduled to work, i will still have plenty of time to dedicate to their care while you are gone. If your dog needs 24 hour care, I will spend the time with them and take pictures to show you how your fur babies are doing. I can also do a meet and greet with you and your fur babies to see if we get along.
About: I have a profound love for all animals. I have taken care of dogs and cats of every kind since I was young. Neighbors, friends, and family have relied on me to walk, feed, and bathe their pets. I have 2 dogs and 1 cat of my own, and I will treat all animals with as much love as I do my own. I am a stay at home mom with one child. I have all day to devote to playing and watching after every dog. I can tend to any needs that the dog may have. I have experience giving elderly dogs medication and being very attentive. I’m also very patient and do well with young and hyper pups! I have a fenced in back yard and plenty of land for pups to run and play! We have a loving and cozy home that dogs love to sleep in.
About: I've always been a dog lover ever since I got my first dog when I was younger. I like to nurture and run with dogs. I also like to play with dogs as well as (sometimes) wash them. A typical day for me with a dog would be for both of us to get familiar with each other first. Then once we get familiar, I would take the dog for a walk (if it's okay with owner) just to get some exercise in. Then come back and feed the dog. Then nurture him and relax for the rest of the day. Taking care of let's is something I love to do! I currently do this part time, but ensure I care and take care of the animals! By petting, greetings, going to their eye level, taking your time, ensuring dog and owner is comfortable. Also keep a smile on your face and be happy to see them!
About: Growing up in a house with lots of animals has taught me how to care for animals with patience, love, and responsibility from a very young age meaning I’m very comfortable handling all kinds of personalities, energy levels, and needs! I truly believe every animal deserves quality time, genuine affection, and attentive care — not just the basics. As a dog mom myself to my sweet (and slightly crazy!) baby, I completely understand how important it is to trust someone with your furry family member. I know how much specific routines, instructions, and little details matter, and I will always make sure your pet feels safe, loved, and comfortable while in my care. Whether your pet needs playtime, cuddles, walks, patience, or extra attention, I’m here for it all. You can relax knowing your baby will be treated like family with me! Skills… - oral medications - any type of extra care - shy/quiet animals - comfortable with hyper, energetic animals - older animals - puppies of any kind - calm under pressure - Excellent communication with owner - pet safety awareness - long walks and active play - gentle handling technique I work at Starbucks so I go by shifts each week! Each week is the exact same shifts so it makes to easy on me and the owner! When can I visit?… (please remember I can be flexible and visit before or after shifts if communicated with!)

I understand the need for communication, specific instructions, and genuine care for your animal. I know that if I left my pet in someone else’s care, I would want the utmost respect, patience, gentle-hands, and skills to be applied. And I am more than happy to give that same experience to your baby! I love all types of animals and each personality is different and beautiful. This isn’t just another job for me, it’s a way to help others in a genuine, kind way! From one parent to another, I understand and I would love to work with you! Just communicate what you need me to do and consider it done!
About: I love dog. I’m a very out doors person. I play in college so with me I love taking them on walks the dog park. I’m currently a student-athlete playing volleyball at Birmingham, and I’m home all day after practice and have a flexible schedule. I’m very disciplined with my time, so I can reliably care for pets early mornings, evenings, or throughout the day. Pet care fits naturally into my routine, and I’m doing this to help support my schooling, so I take it seriously. I provide a safe, clean, and comfortable environment for every pet. I have a spacious apartment and a pet washing station so I can always give your pet a bath and a pet-friendly home where dogs can relax, play, and feel at ease. I also have experience being around other dogs, so I’m attentive to their behavior and make sure everyone is supervised and comfortable.

“Katie and her family were absolutely amazing! They are were so kind and gave my pup all the extra attention he loves. Will absolutely be coming to her for future bookings 😊”
“Savannah was great! She even sat down with my dog, who is terrified of grooming, and brushed through her ridiculously large amount of fur for 45 minutes! You can tell she has a love for animals.”
“⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ 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!”
“Danielle was great in providing pictures of our pet and taking care of him while we were out of town. Would definitely ask her to watch our pet again in the future!”
“Kyler was very responsive and made us feel so comfortable leaving our two German Shepard with her for the first time. I appreciated how she received the dogs and helped them get acclimated before introducing them to the other sweet pups in her care. She was great with updates and we loved all the pictures she sent. She even provided some special treats for our pups on their last morning which pictures proved they thoroughly enjoyed! We had a great experience with Kyler and will definitely be using her services again in the future.”
“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!”

I am a stay at home mom and will spoil your fur babies as I do my own! I have references I can provide from vets, personal references and can pass any background or drug check.

“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.”
“They took great care of my Aussiedoodle. He looked so happy in every photo. She sent plenty of photos and him and each photo had a little blurb of how he was doing. It was very cute! I would totally trust them again with him. It makes it more enjoyable for him that they have their own dogs as well. I know he enjoyed playing with them.”
“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.”
“Jessie was wonderful to my boys :) At the last minute, one of my boys had a medical issue and would need medication applied to his eye and Jessie didn’t miss a step. By the time we returned, my boy was doing so well! Both were happy and healthy and Jessie communicated effectively. Will absolutely use again!”

About: I have had the privilege of always having dogs. For me, there’s no greater joy! I was actually nicknamed at a young age “the dog whisperer” and I promise you it fits! I regard a dog’s care and routine with the utmost respect. I see the value in both physical and mental stimulation for your dog. Whether it’s playing games, learning commands, an agility course, or scent work, there are so many ways to introduce enrichment. Two of my own dogs have disabilities, one who is deaf and has seizures and one who had a leg amputated due to cancer (but he’s in remission and he’s loving life as a tripod!). So I am very familiar and comfortable with administering medication, following a specific care routine, and most importantly, giving all the belly rubs and kisses needed! I want your dog to feel secure with me and want me around, so I’m happy to do a meet and greet to get our journey together started! I work from home during the week and I’m off on weekends. I am usually available even with little notice. I am happy to provide whatever help you need that is best for your dog. Walks, playing, snuggles, and anything else needed! I take safety very seriously! I do not allow on leash greetings (unless you let me know who your pup’s neighborhood friends are and then I’m happy to let them say hi). I carry pet corrector in case an off leash dog approaches. I am very observant to dog behaviors and body language and I will quickly become in tune with your dog. I know how stressful it can be trusting someone with your dog so I’m happy to provide as many updates and photos as you like. I have a 2 acre fenced in yard (8’ high fence) that is secure and safe. The perfect space for playing, sniffs, or just being lazy! I have 3 friendly Great Danes that love animals! They are used to having their furry friends come over and play.
“Alex and her family were absolutely incredible and I cannot begin to thank them enough. Our regular sitter cancelled on us last minute and we needed to find someone ASAP to watch our two boys for 8 nights over Christmas. Not only was Alex available on such short notice, but she invited me and the dogs to come visit her before our stay which completely reassured me and helped alleviate my fears that the dogs would be somewhere new for such a long stay. She sent pictures and videos every day and was wonderful to communicate with. It was so nice knowing my dogs were being loved on and taken care. Thank you SO much Alex!! ❤️🥰”
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.
