Isabella was a life saver for us for our trip! We had never used Rover before and were a bit nervous to entrust our pets to someone, but she made us feel very comfortable with them and sent detailed updates each day along with pictures. I would 100% recommend her to watch your animals! Thank you Isabella! :)

I'm very happy with how my two dogs were cared for. One has a persistent problem with one of his ears, and she was very consistent with looking after it and giving him his medication when needed. Probably more consistent than I am normally. Usually by the time I get home his infection has gotten worse and requires a lot of attention to get it back under control. But this time he was his usual self when we got home!

About: I’ve been a proud dog lover and caretaker since I was 10 years old. Whether it’s walking an energetic pup, cuddling with a senior dog, or giving a shy rescue some extra patience, I treat every pet like they’re my own. I currently attend Bishop State as a student athlete, with all my classes being online, which gives me plenty of availability to care for your pets. I’m happy to work around your schedule to make sure your pets are happy and comfortable. I have a safe, fenced yard for dogs to play and explore, along with cozy indoor spaces where cats can relax. I prioritize clean water, proper feeding, and plenty of attention so your pets feel secure and loved.

About: Throughout my whole life, I have been surrounded by dogs and cats in the household. I’ve also had reptiles, so I have a well-rounded experience with taking care of many animals. I’ve taken many babysitting jobs from people I know, and am very good at following the specific instructions given. I have also assisted my dog while she had given birth. I’m a full time student, my average day schedule start around 9 and ends around 1. In the afternoons, nights, and weekends i am free. I live in a gated community, and have a house with 4 other animal loving roommates. My floors are wood, so any possible messes are easy to clean. They are free to roam around the house and in my room, but if given specific instructions I can also keep them in my room while taking care of them. I have room for a crate as well.

About: As a dog owner myself, I know how important it is for your babies to have the best care they can. With over a year of experience taking care of fur babies, I do my best to do just that. I love being able to spend quality time with pets and giving them the love and attention they deserve! As a full time student at South Alabama, it’s very important that I find time to do something that I love, and taking care of animals is one of those things. Though I typically have classes all day on Mondays and Wednesdays, the other days of the week are mostly open for me to come in and spend some quality time with your pets! We can always discuss more details and what will work best for you and your baby! By coming in-home to take care of your pet, I offer them the safety and comfort of being in their own home, but I can also take them places like the park to get their energy out and let them have some fun!

About: Pets have always been apart of my life! I grew up with a variety of breeds of dogs. I have even had a few pet birds! As a teenager & young adult, pet sitting has been a frequent side gig of mine that has brought me joy and a way to help support my growing family. I am a stay at home mom so my schedule can be very flexible. I am home the majority of the time and able to give your pet lots of attention and love. I would love to make your needs work around my schedule! I have a large backyard that is fully fenced. For your pets safety, they will always be supervised and not left alone outside or be exposed to extreme heat or cold. I take daily walks with my children and your pet, always leashed for safety.  I keep a large crate with comfortable bedding for sleeping. I do have 2 toddlers who adore animals & the entertainment that often comes along with them. Because of this, I can only accept pets that are known to be good with children.

I cannot recommend Camari enough when it comes to taking care of your pets. From the very first visit, it was clear that this isn’t just a job to her. It’s a true passion. Camari takes the time to understand each pet’s unique personality, needs, and routines, and she goes above and beyond to make sure they feel safe, loved, and cared for. What sets her apart is her unwavering dedication and her ability to make every visit feel personal—not just for the pet, but for the owner as well. She communicates clearly, sends thoughtful updates, and always makes me feel confident that my pet is in the best hands. With her, you’re not just getting a pet sitter—you’re getting someone who truly cares, and that peace of mind is priceless.
