“Callie was incredible, 10/10 would recommend using her for your sitting needs. She was prompt on the meet and greet and sent me pictures while I was away which I didn’t ask for but greatly appreciated!”


“Savannah took excellent care of our dog while we were out of town. Her being here so that he could be home was such a relief. I did not want to leave him or stress him out by boarding him for that many days. She sent us pics every day, which kept my separation anxiety down, too!! We came home to a happy pup!! We greatky appreciate her taking time to walk him and give him lots of love while we were away.”


“Justyce did a great job with our pets. They seemed tired out when we got home. Even with a small scheduling mistake they were willing to work with us to take care of all of our animals.”


About: With over 10 years of hands-on experience caring for a wide variety of animals from energetic puppies and curious kittens to exotic pets like birds, reptiles, and small mammals. I offer more than just pet sitting or walking: I offer peace of mind. I understand that every pet has a unique personality, routine, and needs, and I take pride in providing compassionate, personalized care tailored to each furry (or feathered or scaly!) family member while you are away! I am a remote worker with a flexible schedule and a lot of time to focus on your pets individually. I am yours when needed. Caring for your pets in your home or on a walk is all about keeping them comfortable, happy, and stress-free while you’re away. I follow your pet’s daily routine as closely as possible, including feeding schedules, walks, playtime, and cuddle sessions. Whether it’s a quiet senior cat who needs gentle companionship, a high-energy pup who loves long walks, or a shy pet that just needs patience and a calm presence. I tailor my care to each pet’s personality and needs.

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. I’m pretty flexible and can easily fit pet care into my daily schedule. Whether it’s walks, feedings, or just some quality cuddle time, I make sure your pets get the attention they deserve without any hassle on your end! 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!

“Excellent sitter! Will be hiring again. She is organized, attentive to detail, and attuned to my dogs' needs. She did an excellent job caring for my senior dogs--highly recommend her! Thank you, Alicia!!!”

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.

About: I’ve been working with animals for over 5 years now and I don’t think I can ever get tired of it. I first started working at an animal clinic in my home town called Pate’s Animal Clinic at the age of 17 and now it has become a passion of mines to start my own business pet sitting and grooming. I love what I do so much and I can honestly say I don’t look at it as a job but more so a fun experience where I can do what I love while bringing joy to pets and pet owners. I am currently still working at the clinic part time but I’ve informed my boss about my pet sitting/ daycare job through rover and he has agreed to work around my schedule. On days I have bookings I will not be working at the clinic but I will still help him on my off days. I’ve set my profile to accept booking 2 days in advance so I will be able to notify Dr.Pate when I am busy. I have a fenced in yard so that they can play outdoors and I also will have areas set up indoors as well for small dogs and for when it is too cold or hot outside for your pet. The yard is fenced in from the front yard all the way to the back yard and the fence is in good shape but I will be keeping a close eye on them at all times to make sure they are safe and comfortable. When the pet first arrives I like to let them get comfortable with me before anything. I like to give them a chance to sniff me and warm up to me then I allow them to get comfortable with they’re surroundings such as being inside the house and the front yard. Once they are comfortable and they trust me I like to find fun activities which I like to call P.E for pets. Lol I just find this good for daily exercise for your pets such as playing fetch, swimming, going on walks, finding treats in the yard that I hide to see how well they’re senses are and etc. I picked up these exercises while working at Taylor crossing Animal Clinic in Montgomery a few months ago and I find them very helpful and fun for your pet. They will also have a feeding schedule provided by the owner that will tell me how often they eat, how much and if they have any medication that will need to be given to them.

About: Ive been working with cats/dogs since 2018. I’ve worked under a pet trainer as an assistant. I also worked for a dog boarding, daycare, and grooms. I’m available 7 days a week for pet walking, drop in, and house sitting. I offer a flexible appointment procedure for furbabies and there parents. I care for clients babies like there my own. I will go above and beyond for my clients. Ensuring they have a good experience and their babies are having a blast.

“Melisha is wonderful!! She stayed at our house for a week with our senior dog and he was in the best hands! Melisha sent daily updates and pics and we could tell our pup was right at ease and loving all the snuggles! I cannot recommend Melisha enough and we look forward to having her back soon!”

About: I’ve taken care of a variety of animals for over 15 years. In the past, I have volunteered at The Birmingham Zoo as well as the Humane Society. I have experience with a variety of pets. I have experience in administering medications, feeding, bathing, walking, and grooming. I currently volunteer with Little Star Chihuahua Rescue, providing transportation. I currently work full-time from 0700-1930 three days a week. This schedule is ever-changing. I am a remote employee, so this doesn’t affect my ability to pet sit.
