Doggy Day Care in Wood Villas

“Thank you so much for taking care of our Pikey!! You showed up last minute when we didn’t know what we were going to do with her when we were both at work. She has come a long way in her puppy development thanks to you. We highly recommend you to anyone who is thinking of booking you as a sitter!”

“I am so pleased with the arrangement that we had while I was in Tuscaloosa for work. Lighting walked in and immediately wanted to be her best friend. Her dogs kept my dog from being lonely. She was super flexible working with my hectic work schedule and long days. I know my dog was well cared for and was so happy to be dropped off and she was relaxed and happy when I picked her up. I would use her again in a heartbeat”

Soda M.

“I really appreciate Morgan. My schedule unfortunately almost caused a conflict with hers and she still went above and beyond to make sure Max enjoyed himself. Even as I picked Max up he continued to attempt to leave the car to go back with her, I could tell he enjoyed himself with her dog as well. Very appreciative! Definitely reach out to her about your fur baby.”

About: I have had multiple dogs growing up and I am very good with them very fun and playful. I have one fur baby. At my home your baby will be spoiled. I can’t wait to confirm your booking. I’m honored to serve you! Since I work from home full time I’ll be able to attend to your baby all day. Naps, treats, frequent bathroom breaks, routine food schedules. I have a fenced in yard that gets treated for bugs and other harmful insects. Water provided to the dog will be filtered and fresh.

About: I understand what it means to leave your dog in someone else's care. That’s why your furry friend won’t just be a guest—they’ll be treated like family, with personalized care and lots of love. I currently don’t have pets at home, which allows me to provide exclusive attention to the dogs I care for. My furry family is in Mexico, my home country, and since I travel frequently, I can’t have them with me. This has only strengthened my dedication to care for other people’s pets with love, respect, and responsibility. I mostly work with repeat clients throughout the year. This helps me truly get to know each dog—their routines, their likes and dislikes—and make them feel calm and at home. Even though I’m still learning English, I always find ways to communicate clearly—using tools or translation support when needed. I’m committed to making every family feel heard, safe, and confident. If you're looking for someone to care for your dog as if they were their own—with love, respect, and dedication—I'm here to help! 💕 Pet care fits perfectly into my routine because I am passionate about their well-being. I plan my days flexibly to meet their needs, ensuring they get plenty of playtime, exercise, and companionship. Additionally, I organize my schedule to provide them with a safe and comfortable environment. I make sure each pet feels safe, comfortable, and well cared for according to their individual needs. In my clients' homes, I follow their usual routines to minimize stress for the pet, ensuring they receive the attention and companionship they need. Additionally, I maintain constant communication with the owners to give them peace of mind while they are away.

About: Hi furbaby parents! 🐕❤️ (Due to last minute inquiries & some that were questionable, PLEASE SEE BELOW FOR 1ST TIME CLIENTS. Safety for all is important, thats why (when possible) I ask for a week notice of New Clients in order to have time for us to schedule a meet&greet for those who may have behavior or severe anxiety issues. I have an updated availability, so just let me know what you need & will try to accommodate. Please understand the safety needs these days for everyone, even on this app.🐶😊 I know having to get sitter service, drop-ins or walks scheduled for your baby can be stressful nowadays. It's also hard to know who is the best fit, until you try. Life can be busy & demanding at times, & I understand the importance of finding the right one who will take great care of your baby. 🐶♥️ I was raised in the country with several furbabies, of various sizes with my grandma who was also an absolute furbaby-lover! So it just comes natural to me. Bc to me, they are our babies, our children. I have 30+ years experience of many furbabies. Like us, they each have their own likes, dislikes, quirks & personalities. I have furkids myself (ChiChi-10yr old Beagle mix, who i raised from a pup, my Beagle pups are mths old & are in training school. My babies love everyone, but I know not everyone else's pups love the same things. I do understand how important the care for your baby is! My entire house is setup for furbabies & their individual care, with gates between many of the rooms & areas throughout the house, so if one needs a little more time to adjust to a new place, or others, it really makes it better for them all, to make them all feel safe & comfortable. I have several nap areas, toys & an entire playroom just for furbabies, with a spare room if needed. So if one wants to nap quietly & another wants to run & play, its no problem at all. *I can do boarding in my home, sitter service, stop by for drop-in visit & feed/water, potty & play, or stop by & take them for a walk. I can stop by for kitty care, but cant board Ms/Mr Kitty at my house, sorry. I work locally in healthcare & so after hours pickup/drop off is no problem. My furkids are neutered/spayed, fully vaccinated & get monthly heartworm/hookwork flea & tick prevention 💊 Prevention & good health is very important to me, as I would hope yours is taken care of that well also. They love to play, & get along Great with other furbabies! Your baby is in good hands here, & will have plenty of playtime & treats; OR if we just want to nap, we love that too! 😊 I have some small/med sized, & 1 large kennel [IF Needed] & my back yard is treated & fenced in, for supervised potty & play. I usually don't kennel, unless you prefer, so let me know YOUR preference. ✨️Message me & let me know what days/times you need - from boarding, to drop-in visit, to taking a walk, & more, just reach out to me. Lots of love to go around here. As mentioned, after hours drop-off or pickup is no problem for me, just let me know the Correct Dates/Times as I often do an alt work patterns & can work with you on that.🥰 ***FIRST TIME CLIENTS: Let's set up a quick meet & greet Prior to your baby's stay/care- especially for those "last minute needs"- emergencies happen. That way, I can get better acquainted with your baby & you, and so your baby isn't meeting me as a stranger on our first care day. This way we can both know if I can accommodate to your furbaby's needs. **We will meet in a Public/Safe place. Thanks & hope to see you & your babies soon! 🥰UPDATE: Rover makes 20% of all earnings, I can/will offer discounted or locked in rates for my Repeat clients or Regulars; I even do some private pay clients. I take care of furkids a little more "extra" than many furparents, I've been told! But to me that's a compliment! Bc between being a mom/nana, caregiver & furbaby lover, I believe in holistic care, not just meeting basic needs. I just want you & your baby to be happy to have me as your person! **In the future I plan on expanding my area & availability, with the possibility/option of private owner sitter service. Stay tuned... hope to see you soon! 🐕 🐈 🦮 🐈‍⬛️ Updated: I work locally & have recent changes in my schedule which gives me more availability. I also have my own precious furbabies at home, so it's not a new task. I would manage the same way I do for my own. So let me know what you need & I will get you on my calendar! And Thank you for inquiring with me. And much thanks to my current Regulars & for all the wonderful comments & reviews! I appreciate you all so much & I'm always here, so book early, as I only keep a couple babies at a time, for adequate, attentive care! I have a treated fenced in back yard for our Supervised play & potty. Update: Please ensure your furbabies are up to date on vaccines. Cameras on and within property for safety. *I thought this should go in the safety area: I'm no stranger to the area. I'm originally from Fayette County. I have family here in Northport, Coker & Tuscaloosa. So, I am a lifelong local to the area, and have a complete background attached to my profile & also have updated Government Clearance. So rest assured, your baby is safe with me.

About: I’ve taken care of pets for over four years, longer including pet care for family dogs. During my time as a pet sitter, I have stuck to schedules, administered medication, and helped with training different dogs. I currently take one class for the month of June, it’s a morning class so I will have plenty of time in the afternoon and evening to make sure each pet gets adequate breaks and playtime. I keep a very close eye on each pet in my care. When trusted with the care of any pet, I believe that it is my responsibility to ensure the safety at all costs for each and every pet.

About: I’ve fostered over 40 dogs, from newborn puppies to senior rescues, and every single one has left a pawprint on my heart. I’m the go-to person in our foster network for giving first baths to new rescues, and I specialize in helping puppies transition from chaos to comfort—through gentle training, structure, and tons of love. Animals have always been a central part of my life. When people ask if I have kids, I proudly say, “I have dogs.” My dogs are my family, and any animal that stays with me is treated like one of my own—spoiled, safe, and deeply loved. What sets me apart is not just my experience, but my commitment. I don’t just watch animals—I nurture them. Whether it’s helping a nervous pup learn to trust or making sure a senior dog has the comfort and care they deserve, I pour my heart into every animal I meet. My home is calm, cozy, and designed with pets in mind, and I’m dedicated to making sure every dog that boards here feels like they’ve found a second home. Pet care is my daily and weekly routine. When I’m not at work, I’m with my dogs—whether that’s going for walks, playing outside, or snuggling on the couch. Every night when I get home, they are my first priority. I plan my evenings around their needs to make sure they’re exercised, mentally stimulated, and, most importantly, loved. Weekends are fully dedicated to them. We spend lots of time outside, staying active and enjoying fresh air together. I’ve created a home environment where animals feel safe, comfortable, and part of the family. Whether it’s my own dogs or ones I’m caring for, they’re never an afterthought—they’re the heart of my routine. When pets stay in my home, they become part of the family. I provide a safe, loving, and structured environment where they can relax, play, and feel at home. I follow their routine as closely as possible—whether that means specific feeding times, walks, medication, or cuddle preferences. I make sure each pet gets plenty of attention, outdoor time, and stimulation throughout the day. I’m also experienced with crate training, puppy routines, and senior care, so I tailor my care to each dog’s age, energy level, and needs. Whether they love fetch or just want to nap in a sunny spot, I make sure they’re comfortable and happy from the moment they arrive.

About: I love animals and have been around them my whole life. I have taken care of many dogs throughout my years of all different ages. I love meeting new animals and getting to know new breeds! I am a full time student so I have classes everyday but feel free to reach out and we can work with scheduling! I’m pretty flexible and would love to move things around to help! I would love to do various things. Like running, walks, training! If I were to go to the owners home it’s very important that I am given specific instructions just so I know I am prepared and ready!

“Larissa was excellent. She took great care of our dogs and was very friendly to us. Her large fenced in back yard is great for our dogs. I will definitely use her services again.”

Mark T.

About: I have grown up with a dog, have a 3 year old goldendoodle and a 2 year old mix! I've watched numerous pets for my friends and family over the years. I am currently a doctoral student and am home doing remote research so I will be home almost 24/7 to watch your pets! There are some days where I am gone from the house but never longer than 3 hours! I have a fenced in yard for animals that come to my home and am careful and friendly when coming to your home for your baby!

“Ansley and her fur baby, Koda have been amazing! Solo has had a blast 3 different play dates while we’ve been in Tuscaloosa! We received lots of pictures and videos of Solo having a wonderful time! Communication was awesome! We look forward to our next trip to Alabama so Solo can visit his friends again!”

Kelly N.

About: I’ve taken care of pets since I was a kid. Not only did my neighbors and friends entrust me with their fur babies, but I also grew up surrounded by animals, learning the responsibilities and joys of pet care firsthand. Over the years, I've developed a deep understanding of different species' needs, from feeding and grooming to administering medications and providing companionship. Whether it's dogs, cats, or more exotic animals, I approach every pet with the same love, patience, and attention to detail. My experience has not only made me a reliable caregiver but also a true animal lover, always eager to ensure that every pet feels safe, loved, and well-cared for. As a college student, pet care is an important part of my daily routine. I make sure to prioritize my pet’s needs alongside my studies and other commitments. In the mornings, I take time to feed and walk my dog before heading to class, and I make sure to set aside time between lectures for quick check-ins or play sessions. On busy days, I arrange my schedule so that I can either rely on a trusted friend or pet sitter or make sure my pet has everything they need, like food, water, and toys, to keep them comfortable while I’m away. In the evenings, after my coursework or study sessions, I spend quality time with my pet, whether that’s going for a walk or just relaxing together. I’ve learned to balance school and pet care by staying organized and making sure my pet's needs are always met, even during the busiest weeks. Living in an apartment, I make sure to create a pet-friendly environment that keeps both my own pets and any clients’ pets safe, comfortable, and happy. For my own pets, I ensure they have enough space to move around, with designated areas for eating, playing, and resting. I also make the most of the apartment’s layout by using pet-friendly furniture, toys, and scratch pads to keep them engaged. Since apartment living often means limited outdoor space, I prioritize regular walks and playtime at nearby parks or open areas. For my clients, I adapt my approach based on the pet’s specific needs. If I’m pet-sitting or providing care at their home, I follow their usual routine as closely as possible—whether it’s feeding, administering medication, or playing. I also make sure to pet-proof the space, ensuring there’s nothing harmful or dangerous within reach. For dogs, I take them for regular walks and provide enrichment through play and mental stimulation. For cats and other small pets, I ensure their litter boxes are clean, food and water are fresh, and that they have plenty of space to roam or rest. Overall, whether in my apartment or a client's home, I focus on maintaining a consistent routine and providing personalized care to ensure pets feel secure and content.

About: I got my first family dog at the age of 12 and he was a 100 pound chocolate Labrador named Max. When I moved to Germany, I was not allowed to take him so he currently lives with my brother. After moving back to the US, I got my own toy poodle at the age of 16 named Eymber and was completely responsible for her. Once I moved to college, I got her a puppy named Koko and they absolutely love eachother. Eymber is now 5 years old and koko is 1. Occasionally, I stop by the Tuscaloosa animal shelter to volunteer and I love being the reason a pup was happy that day. I love my babies and all fur babies more than anything in the world!!💛 I graduated from the University of Alabama in December of 2024. I’m a stay at home wife while my spouse works at the Alberta elementary school of performing arts so I’ll have plenty of time to cafe for your pups. I have a small fenced in backyard and 2 adult toy poodles who are very sweet to everyone. I live in a small neighborhood with tons of space to take walks/runs. I also prefer a gentle approach when correcting behavior and I believe crates should be a safe space rather than punishment.

“Great communication! April was flexible when I had a problem with the plan and she did great at keeping up with me during the day with pictures!”

Julianne H.

About: I’ve taken care of all types of dogs since I was the age of 11. My first pup was a chihuahua. I’ve also cared for German shepherds, pitbulls, bullies, Great Danes, Rottweiler to many others and smaller. Pet care fits my schedule because I am a stay at home girlie. I’m currently working free lance so I have plenty of time and attention to give. I do not have a fenced in yard, however there is plenty of space to walk around and I will keep all pets on a leash. Also willing to go to dog parks and things as such.

“Alysse was very accommodating, communicated consistently, and sent updates with photos. I had a last minute need for my pups to have some supervision and company and she was super understanding. Thanks so much. Would definitely book again :)”

Martineja C.

About: I am currently a student at UA and am the proud owner of a dog named Raymond, a sweet boxer/hound mix who is friendly with all other dogs. Having grown up surrounded by both dogs and cats, animals hold a special place in my heart. I am committed to providing open communication, sending regular updates and photos, so you can enjoy peace of mind while you’re away! I take the time to understand each pet’s unique personality, preferences, and routines, allowing me to provide the best care possible—whether it’s playtime, walks, or quiet companionship! I understand that pet owners need to trust the person caring for their loved ones. I have a history of being reliable and punctual, with positive references from clients who can attest to my dedication and integrity. My flexible nature allows me to adapt to different situations and the needs of various pets. Whether it's accommodating last-minute requests or adjusting care routines based on a pet's mood or energy level, I’m always ready to help. In my home, I provide a safe, spacious environment with designated areas for play, rest, and feeding. I ensure all pet-proofing measures are in place and maintain a routine that includes regular exercise, socialization, and mental stimulation through games and training. At a client’s home, I follow their established routines and guidelines closely, ensuring their pet feels comfortable and secure.

“James took great care of Annie! Quickly responded to messages. Would easily recommend!”
