House Sitting in Wood Villas

About: I have experience caring for a variety of pets for a couple of years, and will make sure your pet stays comfortable in their own environment. I am someone who loves routines and I am very dependable. What sets me apart is my patience and my attention to detail. I will take time to get to know your pet, because they deserve to feel comfortable while their favorite person is away. I have a set schedule at my part-time job as a runner for a local firm, and college classes, but everything is the same week by week, so my schedule is very consistent. For this summer, I will be able to drop by anytime before 9 am and after 5 pm on Monday and Tuesday, or anytime before 9:00 am or after 11:30 pm Wednesday and Thursday! Friday-Sunday is completely free, and nights are always open unless I’m out of town! I will try my best to be there. I want your pet to feel as comfortable as possible! Any feeding schedule, walk routine, house rules, or fun personalities will be accommodated to my best effort. I know that pets can often get stressed when things change, and I will try my hardest to keep their usual habit and routine flowing smoothly. I’m happy to send updates of how much fun we’ll be having!

“Megan was wonderful! She sent lots of pictures and took Jax for a walk every day. Jinx, our cat also loved her and got plenty of cuddles and attention from Megan. She communicated with us our entire trip and made us feel comfortable with leaving our babies in her care. We will definitely have Megan back for our next trip. Thank you Megan!”

“We are so glad we found Zaria to watch our two dogs. She stayed at the house and not only took great care of the dogs but also our home. The dogs loved her. We can’t recommend Zaria enough.”

About: I have owned pets my entire life and have had the privilege of walking beside them through their entire time on this earth. Throughout my years, I have raised several cats from birth to adulthood, puppy trained, and have learned how to give medication to assist in the aging process. I am on summer break from my doctoral program so I have a lot of flexibility. I will be teaching on class this summer but it is just 2hours a day. I am very detail oriented. So when I am in a clients home I often spend some time checking in on their fur children to make sure they are set on behavior/emotional needs as well as their basics. I want to make sure that they are not stressed, getting the proper attention and that I am being attentive to catch potential problems as early as possible. I make sure to leave the place in better shape than I found it. My own cat is spoiled with enrichment and love. I strive to make sure your pets see me as an auntie rather than a random soul who checks in.

“Ella was wonderful! She stayed in our home and watched our 2 dogs for 4 nights. I recommend her services and will use her again!”

“Manisha did an excellent job dog sitting during Thanksgiving week when no one else could. We had full trust in her after our initial meeting. She’s very responsible and our two dogs were in excellent hands while we were away. We were very fortunate to find her. Scott W.”

About: I have many years of experience with dogs and other pets of all kinds. I was a sitter for many local families and their pets were always taken care of and loved. I understand how important it is for pets to feel safe and comfortable while their owners are away, and I always treat every animal like my own. I am a college student completing my work online. I am home full time spend most of my dog spending time with my dog polar. I have a quiet house for dogs who prefer a more peaceful environment but I also have a fenced in park area where I sometimes spend the day at for more high energy pets. The environment is very safe and your pets will be watched and safe at all time.

“Deshun was THE ABSOLUTE BEST. We had him take care of our little Squishy who recently had ACL surgery and was recently diagnosed with a neurological condition. He took care of our Squishy for a whole week and was absolutely fantastic. Consistent photo snd video updates throughout the stay. Made our vacation 100% worry free. Would absolutely recommend to anyone! Thanks Deshun!”

“Alyssa was awesome! Took great care of our pets and the house while we were gone. Super easy to communicate with and sent us updates that made us feel totally at ease. Came home to happy animals and everything in perfect shape. Would definitely book again!”

“Jake was a pleasure to work with—communicative, responsible, and highly respectful of our home and pets. We returned to happy dogs and a well-cared-for home, which gave us great peace of mind while we were away. We would absolutely work with him again and highly recommend him to anyone looking for a trustworthy pet and house sitter.”

“Zoe is exceptional. She has the experience and confidence to handle big dogs, and she shows them a lot of love. She visited us before the booking, and clearly understood our needs and those of the dogs. When she returned right before we left, she repeated the instructions back to confirm she knew exactly what we wanted. Then Zoe sent plenty of texts and pics to help us stay comfortable with being away. A bonus…the dogs love her!”

About: Hi, I’m Aly! My house was never empty growing up—I was raised in a home full of cats, which taught me how to respect and care for even the pickiest feline personalities. At the same time, I’ve always been the go-to dog walker for my friends and family, and I've recently taken that passion professional. Currently, I’m active on Wag!, where I’ve completed multiple successful walks and have already secured a repeat client who trusts me with their dog’s daily exercise. I’m excited to expand to Rover to offer that same high level of care to both dog and cat owners in the Tuscaloosa area! As a flexible independent worker, my schedule is my own, which means I can easily prioritize your pet’s routine! Whether it’s a mid-day check-in or a last-minute visit, I have the freedom to be there when you can’t. When I’m not hanging out with your pets, you’ll usually find me curled up with a book or learning a new skill. Since I value a calm and relaxed environment, I’m the perfect match for your pet who enjoy a peaceful presence or a quiet companion to sit with them while they nap. I focus on providing personalized care that matches your pet’s unique energy level. Whether I’m visiting for a drop-in or staying overnight, my priority is maintaining the routine that makes them feel safe and happy.

I will follow all instructions given and am very responsible. I prefer to keep all living areas clean and will ensure the safety of all pets under my care.
