About: I‘ve had pets as long as I can remember. I have a cat and a dog who love to play! My family bred cats growing up, so I have dealt with MANY different situations and know the proper responses in emergency situations. I have experience training, walking, socializing, and showing dogs and cats. I love pets and would be thrilled to take care of your furry friend. Spending time with pets brings me joy. I know each pet has a unique personality, and love learning and adapting to each one’s! I look forward to meeting your precious pet and taking care of it as if it were my own. Thanks for checking out my profile! I’m a stay-at-home mom to a toddler, so my schedule is fairly flexible! Whether it’s an early morning walk or a late night check-in, I’m here to help care for your pets. I have a cat and a dog at home, both of whom are high energy. I love to play tug and fetch and use wand toys to entertain, but am just as comfortable giving snuggles or taking your furry friends on a walk.

“Haley is wonderful and our 2 small dogs had the best time with her! They seemed happy and playful when we picked them up. Haley sent photos and even a video during their time with her, which really helped make it easier to get through being away from them. I highly recommend her, and next time we are in the area we will definitely check her availability if I’m needing a great dog sitter. Thank you Haley!”

About: I’m a lifelong dog lover and proud owner of a 2½-year-old Cavapoo. Throughout college, I fostered small-breed dogs from very young ages and have regularly pet sat for friends and family. I’m experienced with dogs of all ages, from puppies to seniors, and will treat your pet with the same love, attention, and care I give my own. I come home for lunch for an hour and have weekends open as well. I have a doggie door with a fenced in backyard for playtime and can always close it while I’m gone. My office is nearby so I am happy to go check on them periodically! When pets stay in my home, they become part of the family. I provide a safe, clean, and loving environment where they receive plenty of attention, playtime, exercise, and cuddles. I do my best to maintain their normal routine, including feeding schedules, walks, and any special care instructions, so they feel comfortable and at ease while you’re away. With approval, a night time pup cup is a standard in our home!

About: I am a 34-year-old veteran who is searching for something to do with my time since I work from home. I have one dog and two cats who of which are rescues. Nola is a beagle/bull terrier mix and has the "hunter" trait and constantly tracking down critters in the yard. Our two cats are Siamese and an unknown Mix. I believe their attitudes show they know after being rescued they get a renewed lease on life and are enjoying every second. Working from home I have full access to letting them out and go for walks often. We have a spare bedroom so they can be separated from other animals if they need a break, or feeding. Two cats and one dog. We do not have a fenced yard but will ensure they remain on leashes at all times when they are outside for everyone’s safety!

About: I have grown up with animals my entire life. My first pet was a stray cat I named Smokey when I was 3 years old. We rescued my first dog, Lucky, from the pound for my fourth Christmas. I was gifted my first chocolate lab, Wesson, for my 6th birthday. I rescued a litter of kittens who’s mom got ran over by a car when I was 10. I still have two of those cats to this day - Prince and Tiggy (14 years old, happy, and spoiled rotten). When I went off to college I adopted my soul dog, a black lab I named Enzo, from the Humane Society. Unfortunately, he passed away in November of last year. The point is, I’m a genuine animal lover who will treat your pets like my own - because that’s what they’ll be in my care. Nothing brings me more joy than a dog licking my face or a cat rubbing against my leg. I promise your babies are safe with me. Not only will they be safe, they’ll be happy :) I’m currently working full time Monday through Friday 8-5. I can walk dogs, check on pets, play with them, etc. before 8 AM, during my lunch break 12-1, and after work (5 PM). I am completely open and free on Saturdays and Sundays. My apartment has a fenced in dog park right across from my apartment building that is very rarely used, but in good condition. I have two cats that I can keep locked on one side of the house if your animals prefer no company :). I am very flexible and can adjust to most needs your babies might have!

About: To me, our pets are like family. They deserve to have the best care available since they are dependent on us to provide for them. I enjoy spending time with animals and will follow their routines so they feel comfortable and safe. I am a detail-oriented person — I will make sure your pets are cared for according to your directions, with a lot of cuddles sprinkled in (if they are snugglers). I am a freelance writer, semi-retired, so I have a lot of time on my hands to devote to animals in my care. I enjoy playing fetch or tug-of-war or providing whatever other stimulation your pet needs. For those who prefer to be alone or sleep all day, I'll respect their space and keep watch from a distance. I try to follow the routines of the pet parents, so the pets have some consistency while their family is away. That's also why I prefer to stay in the home, so they are in a place they already know and feel comfortable with. I feed at the designated times and am vigilant about potty breaks or cleaning litter boxes, taking walks or whatever else the pet does in the course of a typical day. I don't give table food or snacks to pets, and I will handle any type of emergency per your instructions. I love to take pictures and videos of your pets throughout the day and will send them to you, so you know your babies are doing great. I don't mind running errands or collecting the mail and other small tasks that may be needed while you are away.

About: I've always had dogs. I work with rescues and have experience fostering. I treat animals as if they were my own. The price for overnight (8 hours) is different than 24 hours. Prices can vary and are negotiable, let's talk! I'm home all day and have an open schedule. I can help you at anytime day, night or overnight. I can't offer boarding due to our 5 furbabies at home. With my dogs, I'm always aware of where they are and their needs in the moments, because they don't all get along. I'm great at preventing and stopping a dog fight before they can even start. I was attacked as a child and still love dogs, it's not their fault. I'm great at reading animals once I know them. Seeing my dogs so happy while on walks makes me so happy. I always check the pavement with my hand before letting my pups walk on it in the summer. I'll follow your animals dietary routine, and if allowed they will always get treats from me. I'm also always sitting and laying on the floor to be at our dogs level, so you can expect the same.

About: I have had animals my whole life including exotics such as birds and ferrets. I started rescuing an array of different breeds of dogs around 3 years ago and found that it suited me well. I have a special place in my heart for animals as they have no one to advocate for them! I am a single mother of two children and we have 3 dogs of our own. 1 is a rescue and 1 is special needs plus we have a new foster! I bought a small house here in Tuscaloosa to fix up overtime and I believe we have the yard ready to allow us to be pet sitters. Feel free to contact for more details and book a stay with us! Thank You Katherine A. This is a joint team between myself and my daughter Zoey. She is 15 and is the primary caretaker of our clients animals! Thanks in advance We treat any of our clients animals as we would we would love and treat our own! There is no exception to this rule! Thanks! I work 7am-3pm and can do routine visits,in home sitting,walks etc. all I need is a schedule from my fur parents and we are set! I’m going to treat your animals with the same care I treat my own to your specifications in all of your babies needs. You tell me how you care for them and I’ll do it just that way!

About: Although my family has never owned a dog, I have always loved taking care of my aunts, neighbors, and family friends dogs. I always make sure to pay attention to detail when watching a dog and meet each dogs needs whether that be a walk, playing with a toy, belly rubs, or even just relaxing. As a graduate student at USM, I will have time during the day for a dog walk, or to check-in on your pup! I will be available on most weekends for house and dog sitting. I am available to come to your dog and stay with him/her so they do not have to move out of their comfortable environment and stay at a new space with new people.

About: I have grown up with animals my entire life. My first pet was a stray cat I named Smokey when I was 3 years old. We rescued my first dog, Lucky, from the pound for my fourth Christmas. I was gifted my first chocolate lab, Wesson, for my 6th birthday. I rescued a litter of kittens who’s mom got ran over by a car when I was 10. I still have two of those cats to this day - Prince and Tiggy (14 years old, happy, and spoiled rotten). When I went off to college I adopted my soul dog, a black lab I named Enzo, from the Humane Society. Unfortunately, he passed away in November of last year. The point is, I’m a genuine animal lover who will treat your pets like my own - because that’s what they’ll be in my care. Nothing brings me more joy than a dog licking my face or a cat rubbing against my leg. I promise your babies are safe with me. Not only will they be safe, they’ll be happy :) I’m currently working full time Monday through Friday 8-5. I can walk dogs, check on pets, play with them, etc. before 8 AM, during my lunch break 12-1, and after work (5 PM). I am completely open and free on Saturdays and Sundays. My apartment has a fenced in dog park right across from my apartment building that is very rarely used, but in good condition. I have two cats that I can keep locked on one side of the house if your animals prefer no company :). I am very flexible and can adjust to most needs your babies might have!

About: I‘ve had pets as long as I can remember. I have a cat and a dog who love to play! My family bred cats growing up, so I have dealt with MANY different situations and know the proper responses in emergency situations. I have experience training, walking, socializing, and showing dogs and cats. I love pets and would be thrilled to take care of your furry friend. Spending time with pets brings me joy. I know each pet has a unique personality, and love learning and adapting to each one’s! I look forward to meeting your precious pet and taking care of it as if it were my own. Thanks for checking out my profile! I’m a stay-at-home mom to a toddler, so my schedule is fairly flexible!

I love to play tug and fetch and use wand toys to entertain, but am just as comfortable giving snuggles or taking your furry friends on a walk.

“Haley is wonderful and our 2 small dogs had the best time with her! They seemed happy and playful when we picked them up. Haley sent photos and even a video during their time with her, which really helped make it easier to get through being away from them. I highly recommend her, and next time we are in the area we will definitely check her availability if I’m needing a great dog sitter. Thank you Haley!”
