Dog Walking Acton

About: I have had experience with dogs of every kind since I was born. I have cared for dogs of all ages between eight weeks and eighteen years old. My family had no less than four dogs and two cats when I was growing up. I got to care for large golden labs and for elderly yorkies and I love them all! I have extensive experience with all kinds of dogs, and I would love the opportunity to love on your pet. I am a college student here in Birmingham and my schedule is flexible! I can easily customize my availability and accommodate my clients as needed. Due to dorm living I am unable to have pets in my home. Due to dorm living I am unable to have pets in my home.

“Kristine checks in on my dog weekly. She is so kind and patient with him, especially when he was nervous at first. I know my dog is in good hands with Kristine and I don’t have to worry about my dog on my long work days.”

“Jessica was amazing with our blind dog. She took great care of her on walks and potty breaks. I highly recommend her for any type of dog.”

About: I believe every dog deserves more than just a sitter, they deserve a friend. I take time to build trust, understand their unique personality, and provide patient, attentive care so you can have peace of mind knowing your pup is in good hands. My schedule is flexible. I am available for daily walking, check-ins, playtime, anything needed to help your pets feel safe and comfortable! I can pet sit on the weekends and certain days of the week. I understand how important it is to have someone reliable in your home caring for your furry family members. I’ll follow your instructions carefully, maintain your pet’s normal routine, provide updates, and make sure they receive the love, attention, and care they deserve while you’re away.

About: I’ve always been the friend people call when they need someone to care for their pets! I’ve raised a dog from puppyhood and adopted and cared for a senior dog, so I’m comfortable with every stage of life. Over the years, I’ve been a repeat dog and cat sitter and walker for countless friends and family—including house sitting for over a month. I am also a Doctor (resident physician) at Baptist Health, so responsibility, attention to detail, and caring for others are a big part of my everyday life. I specifically offer Rover during lighter months when I’m home most of the day; when I do go into work, I’m typically only away for 2–3 hours at a time. I’m comfortable with medications and detailed care instructions, attentive to when something seems off, and calm in unexpected situations. One of my closest friends is also a veterinarian, giving me a trusted resource when needed. Most importantly, I genuinely love animals and treat other people’s pets the way I’d want someone to treat my own. If you furry friend stays with me, they will also meet Zeus, my 10-year-old neutered pug and professional co-pet-sitter. He’s incredibly laid-back, patient, and unfazed by just about everything—I have never even heard him bark! He loves dogs and cats, has helped me host many pets over the years, and mostly just does his own thing while providing some quiet companionship. Whether you have an energetic puppy, a laid-back dog, or a cat who runs the household, I’m at your bark and call! 🐾 As I mentioned, I’m a doctor at Baptist Health. I specifically offer Rover during lighter months when I am at home most of the day. When I do go into work during these months, I’m typically only away for 2–3 hours at a time. I want your pet to feel as comfortable and secure as possible, so I’m happy to follow whatever routine they’re used to—feeding schedules, walks, medications, crate time, sleeping habits, and all their little quirks! I’m attentive and responsible, and I never take the trust of caring for someone’s pet or home lightly. If you’re hiring me to host your doggo, I live in a condo right by Railroad Park and just a block from Rotary Trail, so there are plenty of opportunities for walks and outdoor time throughout the day. My mom also lives only five minutes away and has a large, beautiful fenced-in yard that we can visit for some extra space to play and explore. At home, my calm senior pug Zeus is around for company but is very content to do his own thing. When caring for pets in their own home, I’m respectful of their space and prioritize keeping their normal routine. I will also send plenty of photos and updates so you always know how they’re doing!

About: I was trained how to train dogs at an early age after our first dog was trained by our breeder. Since then I trained 2 golden retrievers and an Australian Cattle dog (red heeler). Both breeds are strong willed and have high energy. I work from home and so have a lot of freedom to break away to take care of dogs. I enjoy taking care of dogs and sharing the knowledge from my experience of training and raising dogs. I have a large beautiful fenced yard, have multiple crates for use and live within walking distance of a dog park. I have kids that will make sure your dog gets lots of love while being boarded.

“Simply, Alliyah is great! She’s kind, responsive, asks smart and relevant questions, follows directions thoroughly, and punctual. Super responsible and trustworthy! I highly recommend her!”

F S.

“Ashley was very attentive to my requests and directions. She followed through and sent pictures throughout the walk/visit. She accommodated a meet and greet prior to the walk so we could all be comfortable with the arrangements. If I find myself needing this service again I will absolutely contact her first!”

Amy A.

“Christina is simply THE BEST! I would not trust or be content with anyone else walking our dogs.”

About: I have grown up with dogs my entire life and have taken care of everything from great pyrenees to Shih Tzu’s and even sugar gliders. I love volunteering at the Birmingham Humane Society and I know how to take care of puppies and seniors, how to give medication, and how to do basic emergency care like the Heimlich. I am a college student and have a couple labs/classes but I am typically free all weekends and Tuesdays. I can also stay when I am not in class. Other than that I am free to take care of all animals and make sure they are not lonely while you are away! In my home I have two cats. I rescued one as a kitten and have another older cat that came to me with asthma. Because of this I know how to administer medicine. I also grew up with dogs in my house as their primary caregiver and frequently visited my grandmothers farm. I have experience pet sitting and love every animal.

About: I’m a lifelong animal lover with 6+ years of professional veterinary experience and several years of professional pet-sitting experience. I’m comfortable caring for pets of all ages, personalities, and needs, including senior pets, medication administration, special diets, and pets who need extra patience and attention. I’m dependable, attentive, and committed to keeping your pets happy, comfortable, and on their normal routine while you’re away. I’ll treat your pets like my own and provide plenty of love, care, and updates along the way! I’m a full-time veterinary assistant, so my availability varies around my work schedule. I have an allotted lunch break that I can use for midday visits when location and timing allow. I’m upfront about my availability and will work with you to find a schedule that best fits your pet’s needs. Your pet’s safety and comfort are my top priorities. I carefully follow all instructions provided by owners and make sure pets stay in a safe, secure, and familiar environment. My veterinary experience also allows me to confidently recognize changes in behavior or health. Clear communication is important to me, and I’m happy to provide updates and photos throughout each visit.

“As always, Nichole is amazing. She sends thorough reports. She’s so prompt. You literally never have to wonder when you book with her. She cared for our pups while we were staying in the hospital for labor and delivery and the peace of mind I had about our pups at home was truly unmatched.”

About: I’ve been a lifelong dog lover and have years of hands-on experience caring for dogs of different breeds, sizes, and personalities. I grew up with my own dogs, including a German Shepherd named Brownie and a Pitbull named Peanut, who both lived long, happy lives to 12 years old. Taking care of them taught me the importance of patience, routine, exercise, and lots of love. In addition to caring for my own pets, I have experience dog sitting for multiple dogs at once. I’ve cared for up to six dogs at the same time, managing different breeds, energy levels, and needs while making sure each dog gets attention, supervision, and proper care. I understand how important it is to trust someone with your pet, so I focus on keeping dogs safe, comfortable, and happy while their owners are away. Whether it’s walks, playtime, feeding, or just keeping them company, I treat every dog like they’re part of my family. Please Note: I Travel With My Children If you are interested in Housesits. Pet care fits naturally into my daily routine because I genuinely enjoy being around dogs and staying active. I work from home with a flexible schedule, which allows me to plan my day around walks, feeding times, playtime, and check-ins. This flexibility helps me give pets consistent attention and make sure they stay on their normal routine. Whether it’s daily walks or overnight sitting, I focus on keeping dogs safe, comfortable, and well cared for while their owners are away. When caring for pets, I focus on keeping them comfortable by following their normal routine as closely as possible. In a client’s home, I make sure pets are fed on schedule, have fresh water, get plenty of exercise through walks and playtime, and receive lots of attention so they feel safe while their owner is away. I also keep the home tidy and respect the pet’s space and habits. For walks and drop-ins, I make sure dogs get safe, enjoyable exercise while paying attention to their energy level, behavior, and surroundings. I always prioritize safety, including secure leashes, awareness of other animals, and making sure pets return home happy and relaxed. I treat every pet like they’re my own and aim to create a calm, caring environment where they feel comfortable and well looked after.

About: Growing up I had experience with a lot of types of animals, from cats, dogs, sheep, pigs, cows and horses. In my adult life, I have had a lab mix and have had 4 boxers (3 currently still in the home) and a siamese mixed cat. I learned a lot about dog behavior when I got my first boxer through training, and feel like that has helped me with other dogs too. Two of my current boxers are seniors and they take meds so I am familiar with those types of things and my other one is 8 months old so I am currently also in the puppy phases as well. I do have a full-time job. Evenings and weekends are the best time for me on some days. I often work from home later in the week so I can be flexible those days. I am definitely open to chatting about options. I will keep my calendar up to date based on my availability. If your pups are coming to my house, I have a fenced in yard. I do have a pool, but I go outside with all pups for safety reasons. If your dog loves to swim let me know! I also have a quiet neighborhood for a nice leashed walk. I do have a lot of stairs so if you have a senior dog that has mobility issues my house might not be the best option. If they go out on a leash this would be less of an issue b/c I can take them for a walk out front. I crate my puppy when I am gone, and can crate your dog when/if you would like me too. I would like any special instructions about medications/food/behavior etc that are specific to your pets. I would need any specific instructions for your in home stays with your pets.

About: I’ve always enjoyed being around animals and have experience caring for dogs and cats with different personalities and needs. For the past two years, I’ve regularly helped family and friends with pet care, including dog walking and looking after pets. I’m patient, dependable, and pay attention to each pet’s individual needs. I always make sure they’re safe, comfortable, and well cared for. I’m retired, so I have a flexible schedule and plenty of time to spend with your pets. I’m available for walks, drop-in visits, and pet sitting during the week and on weekends. I’m happy to work around your schedule and your pet’s needs. I always put your pet’s safety and comfort first. I’ll follow your instructions carefully and make sure your pet feels safe and comfortable while you’re away. I’m patient, responsible, and treat every pet like they’re my own.

About: I have experience as a Kennel Tech and I am used to handling 30+ dogs at one time. I am comfortable pet sitting all size dogs and breeds. I have experience administrating oral medication. I have a flexible schedule and love what I do! I’m usually available to play with your pups and will do my best to match my availability with yours. 🐾 During drop-in visits, I’ll ensure your pet is not only safe but also comfortable and happy. I’ll give them plenty of love and attention, while also making sure their environment is secure and cozy. If your dog prefers to be crated, I’m more than happy to follow that routine. I’ll also handle any cleanup, from feeding bowls to little messes, leaving your home tidy and secure when I leave.
