“Leaving for any extended amount of time always has me worrying about my fur kids. Morgan has left me at ease, relieved every time I arrive back home. She tends to them, loves them like her own, sends me the greatest updates and photos. 💚💚🐈‍⬛🐈‍⬛ Highly recommend. 💯”

“Ashley dropped in on our kitties while we were out of town and they were well looked-after. Our one cranky old man cat can be a real jerk, not using the box, and she kindly cleaned up after him and gave him love anyway. She was a great communicator and even brought some packages inside for us when she visited.”

About: Throughout my life I have cared for two cats and a Bichon-Frise/Poodle Mix. I was involved in caring for my dog from the day he came to us: showing him how to use stairs within those first couple of days and teaching commands for the next couple of years. Inevitably he aged, and over time I developed a familiarity with handling the many facets of caring for an aging dog: arthritis, anxiety, mobility challenges, and mood shifts. I learned the tricks for keeping him calm in the car, and those for getting him to take his medications. In all those years I consistently played with him in our fields, took him for walks, and ignored his grouching when I bumped him in his sleep. I love all animals very much, but as an innately energetic person, and as someone who is convinced (like most) that I had the best dog in the world, I find I bond most quickly and most deeply with dogs. I would be thrilled to meet yours. I am a recent college graduate looking for work while I job search. I do have a part time job, but with enough notice I am happy to arrange my shifts to suit your animal’s needs. I typically work evenings. In general I do my best to follow the pet's pace/lead, prioritizing the animal's comfort whenever possible. I follow provided schedules in a regimented manner, and if a schedule is not provided, then I will develop one myself. I take things like medication management and potty breaks very seriously, aware that when an owner is gone, pets are often stressed, and this stress can exacerbate pain and/or behavioral struggles. Regardless of the weather I am always happy to move and be active, so regular walks/exercise with pets is no trouble. As a pet lover, quality time is never an inconvenience either. I am more than thrilled, if your pet is more of a lounger than a runner, to just sit with them and relax.

About: I've taken care of family and friends pets, participated in 4-H, raised my own pets, and am currently working as a pet groomer. I am also certified in pet CPR! I currently work full-time as a pet groomer from 8 to 4 Monday-Friday! I am able to provide pet care after work and on weekends! My services for each client depend on what each pet needs as well! I can provide anything from walks and car rides to treats and cuddles!

About: I have had cats all of my life, ranging from young kittens to elderly cats (fun fact: my oldest cat lived into her 20’s). I respect their space, play with them, and give them all of the love I can. While I currently don’t own a dog, I am comfortable with them as well. When offering services in home, I am available to grab your packages, do light cleaning, water your plants, and send you cute photos of your babies. I work full time at an 8-4 job. I can come in before or after work plus full availability on the weekends to come care for your pets. I will always respect the animal’s space and make them feel as comfortable as possible. I would wait for them to warm up to me rather than forcing them into an uncomfortable situation.

About: I have trained and taken care of puppies older and younger puppies also have taken care of Senior dogs making sure they get all the nutrients and tender loving care that they deserve I work part time at a job and have most of my days available and work during the nights meaning that I am a night shifter so I am available during days I care for pets how I would care for my children making sure they have plenty of food and water and make sure they feel safe and loved

About: I have always loved taking care of animals of every kind and I have been doing it for forever. If you let me take care of your pet, they will be loved and cherished and you will have a trustworthy and respectful person in your home. I am currently a college student so I am hoping to work with your pets on my breaks at home. On breaks or weekends I will be over to see your pet regularly and I will make sure each pet is well taken care of. That means working them into my daily routine. At your home, I am putting your pet and your house first. I will clean, take care of and watch anything you need me to while you give me permission to be at your home with your pet. No matter what I will make sure your house is taken care of and your pet is comfortable around me.

About: I grew up around dogs and have often been tasked with dog sitting, walking, playing, basically anything. Most of my family are dog people, and I was in charge of a lot for my childhood dog. I work nights, so I’m available during those busy days when you can’t find the time! I’m the perfect flexible carer during this hectic summer. I am incredibly respectful in spaces that aren’t my own, and while I can’t currently welcome your fur babies into my home, I’m comfortable in new environments and taking the pups for a walk anywhere!

About: I have taken care of my household dogs, cats, and bird since I was 6 years old. I started watching family members animals when I was about 13 years old, giving me 5 years of experience with pet care. I grew up on a saddlebred farm, so I am very used to taking care of all types of animals. I am also very used to giving medication to dogs. I am a current college student at the University of Alabama and take classes from 10 am to 2 pm. However, I am dedicated to taking care of your animals and will prioritize them after my classes are over. During pet sitting I will walk, feed, and make sure your dog has water before I leave for class, and then come straight back to the house to walk your dog again. When I am pet/house sitting I will follow your guidelines on feeding times and rules. When it comes to walking I will ensure they will get a lot of outside time whether that includes letting them outside to play in the backyard, or taking them on several walks throughout the day. When I am overnight pet sitting I walk them at least once at night.

About: I’ve had dogs my whole life, at one point we had 10. I’ve taken dog sat for many people in my church and in our neighborhood. I am currently a freshman at Trine University, so afternoons are best for me! I typically get out of class at 1 pm Monday-Friday. Thursdays I am completely free. I have a wood fenced yard that my two dogs play in and have plenty of space to roam. I can easily care for your dog if they have any special needs that need to be met.

About: For as long as I can remember, I have always had an animal in my life. I got a puppy at a young age and cared for him up until the day he passed. Since becoming an adult, I adopted a kitten and continue to care for him. He is now 6 and the light of my life! I have an extremely flexible schedule! I currently work part time with a lot of availability. I’m available at almost any hour of the day. I currently have a cat but he has his own space if tensions were to rise. I have a mid sized unfenced yard, but I know of multiple dog parks. I’m available to cuddle up with animals or wear out some energy!

About: The majority of my dog sitting caring experiance is for medium-large sized dogs such as Heelers, Huskies, Golden Doodles, and Corgies to name a few. I dog sat for family, friends, neighbors in high school then split my time childcare once I began college. I love all animals truly. I have two cats (an orange tabby and a Maine Coon mix) and a gorgeous Blue Heeler mix. So everything from overnight to quick walks I am at your disposal. I am currently working part-time in the mornings, so afternnoons and night stays work for me. This applies for both week days and weekends. My availablity is very flexible so I look to work around your schedule. My care is completely dependent on the need of each animal. If your baby needs to be hand fed every hour or just a pre-walk snuggle, I'm on it. Regardless giving them love and meeting your expectations is the priority.

“Judith did a fantastic job taking care of my cats. She really loves animals and it shows. I wouldn’t hesitate to ask her again to watch my cats.”

“Leah did a wonderful job making sure Munchie and Oreo were fed and watered daily per our request. Munchie enjoyed having some extra pets while we were on vacation. Over all we are very pleased with the service Leah provided. We will use again for our next extended vacation”

About: From a young age, I've always been happier with a dog around. I've had years of experience owning and caring for dogs. Our family is currently run by 3 giant German Shepherds, and we wouldn't have it any other way ☺️ Over the last 3 years we have had the incredible experience of bringing two of Nala and Koda's litters into the world... hence our newest addition Lucy! That being said I have plenty of experience with puppy care and cleaning. While I do work a full time job, I always have weekends and weekly afternoons available for dog walks and pet care. *available for sitting/dog walking Pet care in my own home would unfortunately not be available. I am open to pet care in a client's home as needed. I am a reliable dog mom of three and boy mom so I believe I would be able to handle any requests or environment.

“Barbara was FANTASTIC!! I strongly recommend her. My fiance and I went to Florida for our spring break and I was scrambling to find someone to watch my dog and chickens. When I reached out to Barbara, she was quick to respond and set up a meet and greet right away. She took care of Lester AND my chickens (she let the chickens out in the morning and closed the coop at night). She came to my house twice a day. Her price per visit is very reasonable and she does more than what's expected. Most importantly, she takes a ton of pictures!! Seeing pictures morning and afternoon of my dog and chickens eased my mind and made me happy. She's GREAT with animals and is very experienced. She knows what she's doing and has a kind/loving personality. Next time I go out of the state, I will definitely use her as my sitter. Hands-down. Thanks Barbara!! Hope you'll continue doing this.”
