“Rebecca was amazing with Brooklyn. They connected instantly! She kept us updated during Brooklyn’s stay and was very accommodating when we had to pickup later than planned. Totally appreciated her!”

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!”

I would recommend them to anyone who asks and I will definitely be booking with them again in the future! Thank you so so much Wade and Morgan I appreciate you guys more than you know!”

About: I first fell in love with cats when I was a little girl. I have a pit bull and Labrador , and the rest is history. I believe my calm demeanor puts most cats at ease, even the ones I have been told are shy around new people. Even though I grew up with dogs, cats now have a special place in my heart and I adore caring for them. I now have my own cat thanks to the Cat Distribution System named shadow

I make sure to not leave pets alone too long and to be there for feeding times and to keep them company at night.

About: • Lots Of Playtime • 24/7 Supervision (We Work From Home) • A Loving Home Environment • 2 Best Friends: Two Pet Pals For Your Fur Friend Our routine is designed to provide the utmost care and attention to your furry family member while accommodating our work-from-home schedule. We kickstart the day with a morning walk or play session with our own fur friends. We would love to do the same for yours! This ensures your pet is active, happy, and ready for the day ahead. Working from home is a blessing. It allows us to check in on all furry best friends to ensure the pets stay well-hydrated, have bathroom breaks, and receive love and companionship. This helps alleviate any separation anxiety! We love playing with them to keep your pet mentally and physically stimulated. This helps prevent boredom and restlessness. No matter how many times your pet requires feeding during the day, we will make sure they receive their meals, following any dietary guidelines you've provided. Before calling it a night, we perform a final check to ensure your pet is comfortable and secure. This includes making sure they have access to water and are settled for a good night's sleep. We have a fenced house where our own dogs run and play freely. We never leave them fully unsupervised, especially when they are sick, or they are too young or too old. We will maintain open communication with you, providing updates on your pet's activities, well-being, and any special moments or concerns. We are happy to send as many pictures/videos & updates as you'd like to make sure you feel comfortable. Our goal is to give you peace of mind knowing your beloved companion is in good hands.
“Sarah was so great!!! Needed a very last minute dog sitter and she came through for me! She could not have been any sweeter or more accommodating! Will definitely be calling her again!”
“Dave and his family (including his canine kiddos!) were AMAZING! I cannot speak highly enough or give enough kudos and praise! Dave was an excellent communicator; he was warm, welcoming, and caring. My little guy was happy and excited to see Dave’s pups and Dave, and to me, says everything I need to know!”
About: Hi! I’m Jenn — a lifelong animal lover with years of experience caring for both dogs and cats of all sizes and personalities. I have two fur babies of my own — Moxxi, a sweet lab mix, and Obi, a gentle Staffordshire terrier mix — both rescues with big hearts and friendly personalities. I offer boarding and daycare in my home so your pets can feel safe, loved, and relaxed in their own familiar space. I’m able to provide frequent potty breaks and can tailor visits around your pet’s unique routine. Whether your pet needs extra playtime, medication, or just a little extra TLC, I’ll be there to care for them like one of my own. You’ll receive regular photo updates and quick responses while you’re away — I know how important peace of mind is when it comes to our furry family members. If your pet has special needs, training cues, or specific routines, I’m happy to follow them closely to help your pet feel at ease. Your fur baby will be treated with patience, love, and a little extra spoiling 🐾 My schedule is flexible, which allows me to offer consistent care throughout the day. I’m available for potty breaks, walks, check-ins, and overnight stays depending on what your pet needs. When caring for pets in their own home, I prioritize keeping their routine consistent, their environment calm, and their safety top of mind. I always follow your instructions closely — whether it’s feeding, medications, potty breaks, or playtime — and make sure doors, gates, and crates are secure before I leave. I approach each pet with patience, respect, and lots of love, tuning into their unique personality and needs. Whether your pet is energetic, shy, or somewhere in between, I aim to create a peaceful, predictable experience that helps them feel safe and cared for while you’re away. You’ll also receive regular updates so you always know how your pet is doing — because trust and communication matter just as much as belly rubs. 🐶💛

My dog passed away earlier this year and I won't be ready for anther dog anytime soon, but I would love to share love with your animals. I work seasonally and am currently off for my winter season. I would love to spend time with your animals either at your home or on walks/hikes! I can not watch pets in my own home but in my client's home I make sure to follow their rules and ask the important questions up front. I make sure to not leave pets alone too long and to be there for feeding times and to keep them company at night.
About: I’ve been caring for dogs most of my life, ever since I was first introduced to them at nine years old. I’ve spent the most time with American and European bloodline Great Danes — a breed I absolutely adore, though I love all dogs deeply. In 2022, I worked for a professional dog care business, where I was responsible for four European Great Danes daily — all in the same home. I walked each dog three times a day, fed them individually twice a day, and made sure they had plenty of playtime and enrichment outside of their crates. I also assisted with the birth of a litter of puppies, helping weigh them, check their temperatures, and feed them a blended diet as they grew. It was one of the most rewarding experiences I’ve ever had. If you’re considering booking with me, feel free to text me — I’d be happy to share photos of my experience. Looking forward to meeting your fur baby! 🐾 I’m currently on summer break from college which gives me complete flexibility to schedule any days needed I’m available Sun-Sat so feel free to reach out. In my home, your pet will be treated like family. I stick to a consistent feeding schedule, offer walks three times a day, and provide regular potty breaks. If allowed, I also work on basic training using treats. I make sure your pup gets plenty of playtime, cuddles, and affection throughout the day. I usually let dogs roam freely, but at bedtime they’ll sleep in my room so I can keep a close, loving eye on them through the night. 🐾
“Ashlyn is the BEST. Flexible, kind, and plays with our puppy until puppy is tired. Ashlyn also walks her and gives obedience treats. We are very happy with her in our home and will keep booking her services.”
About: I'm from Tuscaloosa, Alabama, and I graduated from Pinson Valley high. I attend Lawson State Community college, where I'm currently majoring in Veterinary Medicine. While participating in the Agricultural Science program at Tuscaloosa Career and Technology Center, I gained experience in fish reproduction and animal handling. A lifelong pet lover, I have raised ten animals since childhood. My part-time schedule ensures I have ample time to provide attentive care for your pets I'm energetic, vigilant, and playful, so we’re bound to have tons of fun together! I also keep the doors closed at home, so you won't have to worry about anyone wandering off.
About: I am an extremely caring and loving individual, who has owned two dogs, two cats, and dozens of other pets. Therefore I know how to accommodate whatever needs your pet might have. Having lost my oldest dog recently, being around other animals is fun and therapeutic for me as well. I am looking for work to supplement playing gigs on the weekend. Since I spend much time writing music at home, I will have plenty of time to spend with your pet. I have an easy going schedule being a teacher and musician. I have plenty of time to meet with your pet to attend to whatever needs they might have. I have plenty of space for pets to roam around my house. I also have a fenced in back yard where I like to spend time with my dog or friends dogs when the warmer weather is here.
About: I’ve had dogs since I was a kid, but I’ve been actively caring for my pup since I was 17. From going on walks to playing in the living room or just cuddling and watching TV, I can assure you I’m definitely someone who will care for your pet with their best interest at heart! I’m currently a physical therapy student out on winter break, so I have a lot of time on my hands! I do like to have my weekends free to spend time with my own pets, however. I have a fenced in area of my yard that your dog would be able to use the bathroom in, however, I can also take your dogs on walks if they prefer it! I have two sweet dogs, though one is a little older so I would most likely keep them separate. I also have one younger dog that is very high energy and would love a play mate!
About: I have had pets my whole life, and I have gained experience in caring for pets as I have gotten older. I have experience in feeding and walks. I am home from college for the summer, so this works well with my schedule as long as I am not out of town, which will be put in my schedule. I strive to ensure that the pets I take care of feel safe and comfortable with me as their caregiver. Making them feel safe in their environment helps their nerves.
About: I’ve worked at a vet clinic from high school until I graduated college in 2024. I’ve own 3 dogs and would be an excellent host for yours! I’m a current Masters student and have online classes so I have a flexible and open and schedule. I love to exercise so taking your dog on a long walk is always available with me! I live in a gated apartment with a fenced in dog park so your pet will have all the space to roam and play as he/she wants! Plus I stay right next to railroad park in cases your dog needs long walks.
About: I have always been a dog lover, growing up i have had plenty of experience with all types of breeds to husky's down to Chihuahuas. Dogs have always had a special place in my heart along with all other animals. I will be able to walk, play, bathe and give back scratches and kisses any time to your sweet doggy. I am very flexible and am mostly free each day. Also we will take special trips to dog parks, veterans park, and any where else your dog would like to play and have fun. if you have any questions or concerns please dont hesitate to text or call me anytime, also during my dog visits i will make sure i keep you updated along with pictures of your furry friends. Thank you and cant wait to meet your best friend! I currently work at a bakery in Pelham 10-6 I’m happy to help before and after work and on the weekends. I’m very flexible as well and happy to accommodate as much as possible! I will make sure the animals are taking care of everyday. I will send updates and pictures daily. I will also stick to their day to day routines for their eating times and when they like to go outside.

I would recommend them to anyone who asks and I will definitely be booking with them again in the future! Thank you so so much Wade and Morgan I appreciate you guys more than you know!”
