Andy was wonderful with our dog Harley. I would highly recommend him for dog sitting. Glad to have found a sitter nearby for our next trip out of town.

Athqiya did such a great job with our pup! He was even sad to leave her when we picked him up from his two night boarding! She sent us pictures and videos throughout his boarding to let us know he was okay and she was very interested in the things that she needed to know about him. She was very kind upon our meeting and we will be using her again in the future! Our pup is very exhausted now and has slept ever since being home! His fun stay wore him out!

Pooches On The Porch

Head over to nearby Tuscaloosa, Alabama for a great event and some delicious food! Jason's Deli is hosting this pawsitively wonderful event and there is no admission!  Simply pay for your food, as you would any other time. You and your pooch are welcome to hang out on the patio, enjoy your meal, chat with friends, and help to support the Alabama SPCA. You'll be glad you did and your furry buddy will be proud of you, resulting in plenty of wags!


While you're there, be sure to check out the University of Alabama Arboretum where you and your four-legged comrade can enjoy 60-acres of pure beauty. Just remember to show your manners by cleaning up after your pet and leash their enthusiasm out of respect for the wildlife.

Hand In Paw's Annual Mutt Strut

The annual Mutt Strut is an event that happens all across the country and Birmingham is proud to be one of the locations that host it! All proceeds go to supporting Hand in Paw, an outstanding organization dedicated to helping homeless pets everywhere. Head down to the UAB Campus Green and prepare for a great race.


Be sure to stop in at the after party, too! Good People Brewing Company will have music and a variety of food trucks available. They'd love to see you and your furry friend! Get out and have a great run, then fill up on pawsome food and some interesting drinks before heading home to brag and wag about your day.

Do Dah Eve

This lovely event kicks off the Do Dah weekend events in Birmingham, Alabama and is a long-standing tradition in the city. What began as a simple backyard get-together nearly four decades ago has grown into a pawsome event that is sure to be a hit. Get together with your fellow pet-lovers and enjoy the Do Dah Eve festivities! The evening will feature a variety of contestants for the Do Dah Royalty lines. Pets are always welcome at the events, bearing costumes and appropriate manners, of course!


The event supports a host of local shelters who have been fighting to find homes for the many homeless furbabies of the area. What better reason to come out and enjoy the party?

Do Dah Day

Do Dah Day is the official day of the dogs! Birmingham is teeming with pet lovers and this event has taken a very serious lean towards promoting owner education and animal awareness throughout the region. There are volunteers that even fly in from other states just to continue supporting the event, which has nearly four decades of history.


The mini-events of Do Dah Day will have you and your furbabies rolling in the fun. From the parade to the kids' area and the live bands, there is something for everyone to enjoy.  Don't forget to stop in at one of the many t-shirt stands and grab yourself a piece of memorabilia!

Turkey Creek Nature Preserve

For those who prefer a bit more of a laid back and scenic activity, the Turkey Creek Nature Preserve offers 5 miles of lovely trails to enjoy.  Get some fun in the sun with your four-legged jogging companion and take a nice, relaxing walk along the trails, then kick it up a notch and jog back!


What better way to get some exercise, enjoy time with your pet, and see some of the most lovely scenery in the country?  Don't forget a camera for your waist pack, as there is plenty of wildlife to provide great photo opportunities!  Just remember to show your manners and clean up after yourself in order to provide the same great experience for other trail-goers.
