“Tatiana was absolutely wonderful with our Charlie! It was our first time leaving him with a sitter while we went out of town for a week and we were extremely nervous not knowing how things would go. Tatiana kept us updated every day with messages as well as pictures and videos. We will be repeat clients!”
“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!”
“Another wonderful stay with Jessica! She treats my puppy like her own. We are so grateful for her updates throughout our trip and the detailed report she provides when we return home. She’s the best and has a lovely home full of love and toys.”
“Amy was wonderful with our two dogs! She very clearly spoiled them. I can tell by the pictures that they had a great time. Especially out in the back yard! She was also very accommodating with our schedule which was very much appreciated!”
“Wonderful experience! He took great care of our 3 dogs and attended to all of their needs as well as administering medication to our senior golden retriever. We will use Harold again in the future!”
“Christopher and Sore were amazing! They provided great care for our lab with many updates and pictures. We booked with them last minute for a holiday weekend and they were so accommodating. Our lab can be high energy and anxious at times and we felt like they managed her well while we were gone. We would use them again if we need services in the future. Highly recommend.”
“Ashley was awesome with our two Boxer girls! Mags and Su had a blast playing in the big fenced back yard & with her pup and senior Boxer. I honestly think Su is going to have separation anxiety from Freya, she loved playing with her so much!! Ashley sent daily updates with photos/videos. We would highly recommend, especially if you have a Boxer, trusting Ashley with your fur babes!”
“Ollie had a great time! He had other dogs to play with and a big back yard to run in. Amy sent pictures and videos of our sweet dog every day since this was our first time leaving him with anyone! He came home and immediately went to sleep- which means he played hard! Thanks Amy!”
“I will never board our dog at a vet or kennel again! Jessica was amazing! Friendly, responsive, accomodating, and took great care of our Australian Shepherd. Our pup came home clean and happy, and it was clear her experience was pleasant and fun! Even when I ruined Jessica's plans by arriving late to pick up our pup, she was forgiving and courteous. Thank you, Jessica. I give you my highest recommendation!!!”
“I booked my two cats for boarding over six nights. My Mamacat is 17+ years old. Patch is 11+, diabetic and requires a daily insulin injections. They are 100% indoor cats. Mamacat is terribly nervous with new people, Patch not so much, but cautious. But I think I was more nervous for my babies, than any of us. I was so pleased with the reality of their stay. Due to all their existing issues, Teri housed them in a more isolated area of her home, by her master bedroom. So their contact was basically limited to Teri and her husband. Photos and updates came daily showing evidence of my kitties' progressive relaxation and adjustment. My heart was breathing a sigh of relief. One note. Due to the need of a more isolated & protected area, there was cigarette smoking in the farthest area where they were housed. For me this wasn't an issue at all. I only mention it since, in a similarly limiting need as mine, it might make a difference in decisions. It protected my "nervous nellies"; they were at ease, and I was pleased. In fact, I've already made a second booking!! I'm so grateful to have found Teri for watching my somewhat special needs furry family members. P.S. I saw a beautiful, healthy horse in the adjacent pasture. Then her personal cat came walking across the yard. As a cat lover I'm compelled to attempt petting all that I see. He was friendly, healthy and obviously happy. My nervousness immediately lowered a couple notches. I absolutely recommend Teri to look after your furbearing loved ones.”
“Kordell was gracious and patient. Smokey and I have never been away from each other. I had the separation anxiety. Smokey was just fine. Kordell gained his trust and the rest is history. Kordell sent pictures which reassured me Smokey aa was fine.. He was happy and energetic when I picked him up. I was almost jealous. Kordell”
“My dog loves spending the weekend here with Collins and the other dogs. She’s always worn out worn out when I get her back and I’m never worried about her when we’re away. That’s important.”
“Katie and her family did a wonderful job of making our Stella feel at home. She kept us updated with pictures and texts the entire time. It made us feel good that they said they would miss her when she left. Would definitely recommend and use again!”
“Laura was absolutely wonderful! She helped us out with a last-minute booking, was very responsive, and sent lots of pictures and updates. She and her pups are so friendly and have a wonderful home. Oakley had so much fun! We will definitely be using Laura again.”
“Tony took very great care of my doggie. He actually spoiled him rotten!! LOL. He can watch him anytime. I will continue to book with Tony for upcoming boarding and drop-in services.”

“We cannot speak highly enough about Madison. She was so thorough and did everything we asked exactly as we asked her to. Excellent communication and always right on time. It is such a relief to know our babies are in good hands when we have to be away. We’d give her 10 🌟 if we could.”
“Stephanie did such a great job! She communicated with me and sent pictures of my kitties. I felt very relaxed knowing that she was going to check on them and make sure they had everything they needed. I highly recommend Stephanie and will happily request her again in the future.”
“Olivia was great! Our dog was being a little difficult and timid (which is normal for her with strangers) but Olivia was super helpful and kept in touch asking what she could do to help. She was willing to go above and beyond to make our dog feel comfortable around her. We will definitely use her again if needed.”
“Katelynn was wonderful with our multi-cat household. The kitties really liked her: even our skittish indoor-outdoor cat would come in for the night when she arrived. She gave them excellent care, including medicating our senior cat. And she gave each one some attention on each visit. We are so happy! We'll call on Katelynn again!”
“I couldn’t be happier with the care my cat received during their stay! From the moment we arrived, I felt confident that my furry family member was in loving, capable hands. Kordell was kind, attentive, and kept me updated, which gave me complete peace of mind while I was away. When I picked my cat up, he was relaxed, happy, and clearly well cared for. It’s obvious he genuinely love animals and go above and beyond to make each pet feel safe and comfortable. I highly recommend him to anyone looking for a trustworthy, caring place for their cat. Thank you for treating my baby like one of your own I will definitely be back!”
“Truett loves Catherine! She was very responsive, timely, and loved on him during drop ins ! She came in when we lost our reoccurring sitter unexpectedly and she was flexible and quick to step in. So grateful for her! 10/10!”

If you need help with behavior issues such as leash walking Im your gal. I love wet kisses from sloppy fur babies. I havnt found anything yet that has changed my mind about these sweet creatures and if I could have 10 of my own I would. Since that is not possible the next best thing is to help others take care of their fur babies. I work from home and am available to be with your fur babies the majority of the time. Besides running errands and I usually have my husband or daughter watch over them during those few times. Or I will bring them with me 🤗 Fur babies in my home are treated as family yes they allowed on the furniture unless you specifically do not want this .

About: I’ve been handling animals ever since I was 13, this includes cats, dogs, and even bunnies! (I had one that I let free roam). Cats and Bigger dogs are always a personal favorite but I truly love animals and even considered going into veterinary sciences! I can assure you, your animal is in great hands seeing as I have a cat and two dogs myself!
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 at Birmingham 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.
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.
“Rachel & Justin took great care of my fur baby! They sent me tons of photos and every detail about the check in. They even changed out the whole litter box and I didn’t ask them to do that at all! 10/10 recommend!”
About: I was raised with cats and grown to love them I ended up with 5 at one point. A mom & her babies we rescued. They lived a long and happy life. The only sad part of loving these babies is they don’t live long enough.
About: I am the biggest cat lady ever! I’ve grown up with cats, and now have two of my own. My kitties are my whole world so I know how stressful it can be to leave them & trust someone else with them. I will be there to keep them fed, entertained, and purring happily while you’re away!

“Amy has been watching Greta, my very active GSP puppy, these past couple of weeks and so far it has been great. She has a dog and a toddler that gets plenty of interaction with our puppy and Greta is always happy to go back to see her new friends. I am very appreciative of Amy’s willingness to work with our busy schedules that fluctuate for drop off and pick up.”
About: Hey there, my name is Holly and I love working with dogs. I have spent the last 10 plus years working with dogs at a local doggie day care facility. While working there I obtained a lot of knowledge and eventually earned a position as a supervisor and managed new hires on how to work dog day care yards. During my time I gained a lot of valuable insight on dog behavior while working in the dog day care yard. I also have owned as many as three dogs at one time. I have hosted several of my friend's dogs for overnight stays along with my own dogs and I would just love the opportunity to give them the best care and love a dog could desire. I have a passion for fur babies and treat them as if they are my own. I have a special relationship with my veterinarian and I have experience in giving dog medication if necessary. I am conveniently located to my personal veterinarian and other veterinarians as well as a emergency vet in the event your fur baby suddenly becomes ill. Having owned numerous dogs over my lifetime I am keenly aware of what it takes to attend to senior dogs. I have a lot of green space in my neighborhood for a comfortable walk on a leash and potty breaks. I am currently retired and available to baby sit your fur baby anytime including weekdays/nights, weekends, and holidays. I am flexible and willing to accommodate your fur baby's needs along side my own fur baby, Pinkie. I have a lot of green space in my neighborhood for a comfortable walk on a leash and potty breaks along with my fur baby, Pinkie for company and companionship. I am all about creature comforts and whatever your baby is used to for the best experience. Your baby is more than welcome to lay on the couch, sleep in my bed or can be crated if that is what they enjoy the most. I also offer Dog TV for viewing pleasure. You can expect lot's of cuddle time, potty breaks, walks, treats and toys to play with but most of all LOVE. I also have a habit of sending video's and pictures of your baby while you are away.
“Poppy is special, not just to me, but to everyone she meets so traveling with her can be a challenge. I always want to make sure she is cared for in a loving, safe, and comfortable environment. After a last-minute confirmation that I needed to be in Talladega for three days, I was extremely lucky to find Cassandra and her husband. They took wonderful care of Poppy during the day while I worked, and I was still able to have her with me overnight, which made the whole trip so much easier. Cassandra was responsive, communicative, and sent great photo updates, which gave me total peace of mind. I highly recommend her for any pet-sitting needs in the Birmingham area especially if you’re traveling between Birmingham and Talladega. Great experience all around!”
“Merelee is awesome! She was so seeet with Smokey! Sent pics and kept us updated on how things were going. We were very last minute in booking and she was so accommodating. Would highly recommend!”
About: I own a small kennel,Small Paws Kennel, for small to medium sized dogs in Sterrett. I currently have a few empty kennels,to be used for dog boarding and daytime care. Dogs will not be around cats,and will remain away from children if nervous or aggressive. They will be homed in a kennel with plenty of food,water,treats,and an outdoor run of their own. They will not have to interact with other dogs. I have pet sitter in the past,and try to make sure to follow notes about a dog's preference of what makes them nervous,what treats they like,any meds needed,and so forth. I'm currently staying at home to take care of and homeschool my two girls,as well as running a small kennel,so your dog will get plenty of care and attention. I make sure to check on boarded dogs daily,so that they have plenty of fresh water,food,and get a chewbone or treat daily...as well as some petting and attention. I have a small kennel. There are separate indoor kennels,with dog doors that lead out to 4*8 separated runs,so dogs are separate and safe. These runs are surrounded by a larger cattle fence,that fence in all the runs together and allows for a play yard for exercise outside of the runs. That way each dog can get out daily for some play time with toys and a small pool,for hot days.
“I LOVE JESSICA! She is so sweet and very informative! I think Jojo and I both look forward to seeing her every morning. I will definitely book with her every chance we can.”
“Vanilla, our dog, and I had a excellent experience with Angelika. She was very tentative to Vanilla right away, communicated with me throughout the day, sent me pictures, and I know that Vanilla, our senior dog, was in awesome hands. 👌”
“Laura is great! I will definitely book again. She was able to keep my fur baby on short notice with no hesitation. Her home was clean and welcoming with fenced in back yard perfect for pets. My pup is usually very shy, but immediately warmed up to Laura and her husband. Laura kept me up to date on how he was doing throughout the stay and sent pictures as well. She's a great sitter!”
“Kendall was amazing, kind, and so accommodating! I am so thankful we chose her home for Baskin’s daycare needs. I would highly suggest others to use Kendall and we definitely will be using her again!”
About: I have a special gift for noticing the emotions and personalities in pets that people often overlook. Whether your dog is playful, shy, independent, or simply needs a little extra love, I take the time to understand what makes them feel comfortable and happy. I’ve been around dogs since the age of 7. My specialty is dogs, but I happily welcome my feline friends too! :) When your pet is with me, they’re not just being watched. I want to make sure they feel comfortable, safe, and joyful during every visit—so much so that they remember me when I return! My goal is to make sure your pet has a great day, because they give us so much in return: security, joy, companionship, and unconditional love. I want them to feel that same care and connection while they’re with me. 🐾 I don’t have a full time or part time job, I don’t own any pets of my own, no kids. My only exceptions would be my personal daily task that come with general life. I do not board more than one dog at a time just to keep things safe. I also live in an apartment complex with two other roommates who are my best friends. With this set up, I can ensure both your fur baby and my roommates are comfortable.

About: With over 20+ years of experience in the veterinary profession, I understand many concerns that pet parents have about leaving the care of their pets in someone else’s hands. I’m well versed in caring for dogs and cats of all age ranges. If you need someone to give your pet its medication, I’ve got you covered! If I see anything that concerns me about their health, I’ll bring that to your attention, so you can talk to your vet about that. A trusting relationship with a pet caretaker starts with good communication and attention to detail, and those are just two of my strong points. I’m committed to making sure your pets are well taken care of and doing what I can to put your mind at ease. I recently moved back to Alabama, so my schedule is very flexible. I’m available seven days a week from 7:00am-6:00pm, including holidays. How much time I can spend with your pet will be dependent on how many other appointments are scheduled on the same day, and what travel time is required. Your pet’s safety is my highest priority; therefore, I require that all dogs are leash walked, unless you have a fenced yard, and your only expectation is that they have free time in the yard. I can take care of four pets maximum per household, but if there are extenuating circumstances, we can discuss this. If your pet requires medication, all medication must be labeled and set out in an obvious location. If there are any specific instructions you have that aren’t on the label, those instructions must be written out clearly.
About: I treat every dog like family—patient with seniors, playful with pups, and always focused on love, safety, and making tails wag with joy. I tailor each visit to meet your dog’s unique needs and personality. I currently work from home and have an open schedule to be as attentive as I need to for your four legged friends. I love walks and always am ready for potty breaks I have a fenced in yard and two very friendly friends that can wait to make new friends. I do have a crate in the home if that’s what your furry friends prefers for its safe space.

You will not have to worry about your pet with me I will make sure to send you as many updates you want and by the end of the stay your fur baby will have a new best friend (: I’m currently helping clean houses during the week but I still have plenty of free time to help you with your fur baby, I will be able to rearrange my schedule as needed. I will make sure your fur baby has food and water, I go by the book when given instructions on how you want your fur baby taken care of, I don’t mind crating them but if you don’t crate them I am absolutely be okay with them cuddling up to me while we watch tv.

I’m available during the day, evenings, overnight and on weekends, making it easy to accommodate your pet care needs. Whether I’m caring for pets in my home or yours, my priority is making them feel safe, comfortable, and loved. I follow each pet’s regular routine as closely as possible, including feeding schedules, walks, potty breaks, playtime, medications (if needed), and plenty of affection. I take the time to get to know each pet’s personality and needs so they feel relaxed while you’re away. In a client’s home I respect your space, keep everything clean and tidy, and provide regular updates with photos so you can have peace of mind. If pets stay in my home, they’ll receive lots of attention, exercise, and a calm, family-friendly environment where they’re treated like one of the family. My goal is to make every pet feel happy, safe, and well cared for until you’re back home.

I will provide the greatest care for your furbabies and make sure they are loved as my own. I volunteered with local humane societies and I also worked as an animal cruelty investigator for years. Animals live shorter lives than us humans so we have to make sure everyday is great. I have fostered numerous dogs and puppies that I found in abusive situations so providing a little extra care is no biggie to me. I would be happy to drop in and check on your animals, take them for walks or board them at my house. I have a ten year old child that knows how to treat animals. Your animal would be in great hands with us. Thanks for reading my profile. Hope to hear from you soon. My schedule is super flexible so just let me know what your needs are and I can help.

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.

“Tatiana was absolutely wonderful with our Charlie! It was our first time leaving him with a sitter while we went out of town for a week and we were extremely nervous not knowing how things would go. Tatiana kept us updated every day with messages as well as pictures and videos. We will be repeat clients!”
“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!”
“Another wonderful stay with Jessica! She treats my puppy like her own. We are so grateful for her updates throughout our trip and the detailed report she provides when we return home. She’s the best and has a lovely home full of love and toys.”
“Amy was wonderful with our two dogs! She very clearly spoiled them. I can tell by the pictures that they had a great time. Especially out in the back yard! She was also very accommodating with our schedule which was very much appreciated!”
“Wonderful experience! He took great care of our 3 dogs and attended to all of their needs as well as administering medication to our senior golden retriever. We will use Harold again in the future!”
“Christopher and Sore were amazing! They provided great care for our lab with many updates and pictures. We booked with them last minute for a holiday weekend and they were so accommodating. Our lab can be high energy and anxious at times and we felt like they managed her well while we were gone. We would use them again if we need services in the future. Highly recommend.”
“Ashley was awesome with our two Boxer girls! Mags and Su had a blast playing in the big fenced back yard & with her pup and senior Boxer. I honestly think Su is going to have separation anxiety from Freya, she loved playing with her so much!! Ashley sent daily updates with photos/videos. We would highly recommend, especially if you have a Boxer, trusting Ashley with your fur babes!”
“Ollie had a great time! He had other dogs to play with and a big back yard to run in. Amy sent pictures and videos of our sweet dog every day since this was our first time leaving him with anyone! He came home and immediately went to sleep- which means he played hard! Thanks Amy!”
“I booked my two cats for boarding over six nights. My Mamacat is 17+ years old. Patch is 11+, diabetic and requires a daily insulin injections. They are 100% indoor cats. Mamacat is terribly nervous with new people, Patch not so much, but cautious. But I think I was more nervous for my babies, than any of us. I was so pleased with the reality of their stay. Due to all their existing issues, Teri housed them in a more isolated area of her home, by her master bedroom. So their contact was basically limited to Teri and her husband. Photos and updates came daily showing evidence of my kitties' progressive relaxation and adjustment. My heart was breathing a sigh of relief. One note. Due to the need of a more isolated & protected area, there was cigarette smoking in the farthest area where they were housed. For me this wasn't an issue at all. I only mention it since, in a similarly limiting need as mine, it might make a difference in decisions. It protected my "nervous nellies"; they were at ease, and I was pleased. In fact, I've already made a second booking!! I'm so grateful to have found Teri for watching my somewhat special needs furry family members. P.S. I saw a beautiful, healthy horse in the adjacent pasture. Then her personal cat came walking across the yard. As a cat lover I'm compelled to attempt petting all that I see. He was friendly, healthy and obviously happy. My nervousness immediately lowered a couple notches. I absolutely recommend Teri to look after your furbearing loved ones.”
“My dog loves spending the weekend here with Collins and the other dogs. She’s always worn out worn out when I get her back and I’m never worried about her when we’re away. That’s important.”
“Katie and her family did a wonderful job of making our Stella feel at home. She kept us updated with pictures and texts the entire time. It made us feel good that they said they would miss her when she left. Would definitely recommend and use again!”
“Laura was absolutely wonderful! She helped us out with a last-minute booking, was very responsive, and sent lots of pictures and updates. She and her pups are so friendly and have a wonderful home. Oakley had so much fun! We will definitely be using Laura again.”
“Tony took very great care of my doggie. He actually spoiled him rotten!! LOL. He can watch him anytime. I will continue to book with Tony for upcoming boarding and drop-in services.”
“Brittney was so excellent for Belle and made her weekend a wonderful one! She sent many photos during Belle’s stay which soothed my nerves while I was on vacation and was able to give me a wonderfully concise report card upon pickup. I’ll no doubt be using Brittney again in the future!”
“Corlaeja really came through for me and Billy. It was a very last minute booking, and she was not only able to do it, she did it exceptionally well. My boy—who is a brat—looked happy and healthy in every photograph she sent (and she sent regular photographs). And, of course, he came back to me the same way I left him. I will definitely look to rebook with her the next time there is an opportunity. Thanks again!”
“Our golden retriever absolutely loved his visit with Jonathan and his family. He could not have been a more perfect host and it was really nice to have a previous golden retriever owner as a Rover host.”
“Our pup loves spending the day at Barrie’s! Her tail wags when we hop out of the car and she sees where we are. Barrie often has other dogs but stays attentive to them and ensures everyone is getting along. She keeps us updated with pictures. Would suggest her for overnight boarding to anyone with a pup.”
“Ray J. is an exceptional dog babysitter! I entrusted him with the care of my beloved Henry-Pickles and Albert, and I couldn't be happier with the experience. Ray J. not only provided excellent care but also showed genuine love and affection towards my dogs. He went above and beyond to ensure they were comfortable, happy, and well-exercised during his time with them. Ray J. is incredibly responsible and reliable. He followed all instructions diligently and kept me updated with regular photos and messages, which I greatly appreciated. It was evident that he genuinely cared for Henry-Pickles and Albert's well-being, and I felt at ease knowing they were in such capable hands. I highly recommend Ray J. to anyone looking for a trustworthy and caring dog babysitter. He exceeded my expectations in every aspect, and I will definitely be reaching out to him again for future pet-sitting needs. Thank you, Ray J., for taking such wonderful care of Henry-Pickles and Albert!”
