Dog Walkers in Ardilla, AL

About: I've taken care of animals since I was a child. I have 6 years of experience working as a Veterinary Assistant, so I'm comfortable around animals regardless of size. My family and friends have entrusted me to care for their young pets as well as their older ones. I have a Rottweiler, a Yorkie, and 4 cats, so I don't shy away from many animals! My schedule is currently very flexible, allowing me to provide pet care throughout the week. I make sure to keep my calendar up to date! NOTE: I am currently unavailable for house-sitting services. I understand feeling anxious entrusting your pet to a stranger, but I'll do everything I can to make your pet feel as loved as possible. I'll make sure your pet gets their steps in (if dog walking). The water bowl will never run dry, and I will diligently handle client requests to make sure their pet is as comfortable as possible.

“Shelley took great care of Stuart during their walk. She walked him until he was a tired little pup and he was perfectly content when I got home that afternoon!”

About: I’m a nurse, mom, and wife, and I love all animals. I changed my availability to reflect my work schedule. I work 3 days a week. I grew up taking care of horses, dogs, and cats. I treat all animals with the kind of care and attention they require to be happy! We have two dogs, Brando and Mila, a large fenced yard for them to run, and a 2 story house with plenty of space. Our dogs are spayed and neutered. My husband and I have three crates, but we never keep our dogs locked in the crates. They stay in the kitchen with food and water when we aren’t home. On my available days, I will be home unless I have to run to the store. Please consider reaching out to me to take care of your pets!

About: I’ve spent the last 22 years rescuing and rehabbing abandoned cats and dogs. I’ve also provided reliable, loving pet sitting and boarding for 19 years. That depth of experience has taught me one thing above all: every animal is different—and every one deserves care that honors who they are. From high-energy pups to anxious seniors, from playful kittens to quiet, special-needs cats—I meet them where they are. I learn their rhythms, their unique needs, and what makes them feel safe. Whether it’s a calm brushing session, an energetic walk, or just giving them space to warm up, I offer a steady, attentive presence. I’m experienced with administering oral and topical medications, and yes—I take deep-cleaning litter boxes seriously. I don’t just show up. I build trust. I believe great pet care is rooted in connection, consistency, and showing each pet that they’re loved and valued. And while you’re away, I’ll keep you in the loop with updates that feel like they’re from a trusted friend. I work full-time in dog and cat care, which means your pets get my full attention, time, and heart every day that you need it. I currently don’t offer care in my home, but I’m happy to come to yours—where your pets feel safest and most comfortable. I follow your routines closely, keep things calm and familiar, and always respect your space. Whether it’s locking up securely, cleaning up thoroughly, or taking notes on your pet’s preferences, I treat your home and animals with the same care I’d want for my own. Safety and trust are everything to me, and I’m committed to providing a peaceful, dependable presence you and your pets can count on.

About: I have taken care of all animals since I was young. I have worked at a doggy day care for a year where I provide the animals a stress free and relaxed environment. I have also volunteered at numerous animal shelters over the years. I am currently working a part-time job and am in school, but I am free any day to check up on your fur babies. I have classes Tuesdays and Wednesday, and my work schedule varies weekly. I have a fenced in yard where I keep my two animals during the day and they sleep inside during the night. I work with the clients to understand their pets daily routine including feeding times, exercise routines, medications, and any special requirements there may be.

About: I’ve taken care of all types of animals ranging from dogs, cats, chickens, and lizards! We’ve had animals in my own family for as long as i can remember we currently have a dog and chickens and maybe cows soon! I have a personal love for animals! If for some reason my dog Oliver doesn’t get along with your pet I live in a separated part of the house so it will be very easy for me to keep them out of contact. I’m currently working full time but i’m off most saturdays and mondays, and then just whenever else they do not schedule me! I’m very communicative and will work with you as best I can! I care for my own pets with love and care making sure they always have what they need and definitely things they want too lol! In others homes I would show them the same love as my own pets and follow whatever instructions left to a T.

About: I enjoy playing with the pets whether its fetch with a dog or sliding a mouse for a cat. I have experience with older dogs. I have completed school for obedience training an currently enrolled in canine specialist training Pet care fits into my daily and weekly routine because pets are family and they are a priority, and I would treat your pets as if they are my own If I am at a clients home, taking care of their pet, I will make sure they get lots of exercise outside sunshine plenty of water, one on one interaction feeding if required

About: Animal advocate since the age of 5. I have had snakes, turtles, birds, cats and dogs my entire life. I have delivered, raised and trained many litters of kittens since I was 10. My family owned Wet Pets where I spent every summer growing up. It was a little girl’s paradise. I have helped many turtles cross the road and our most recent fur baby jumped in my car at the Dollar General and I really think he was trying to rescue me because a wasp flew in the car. The workers in DG said people moved and just left him 😢 wasn’t sure how he and our German would get along but it’s like he has always been here! So we have a 100 pound German Shepherd (Fitz) and a brindle pit mix (Saber) so when my daughter walked in with a 2 pound kitten….sure why not. We absolutely love our fur babies and promise to treat yours no different! I am in education, so I can’t leave during the day but my pups walk me every morning. They are way to rotten to stay outside so they are definitely inside all day in their bedroom which has a full size bed, sectional, and they have their own TV. My son come home at lunch to check on them. I get home around 3 and we go outside. Then when my daughter gets home they get to play again. I really feel like i am describing how I would care for one of my kids because they are treated no differently. I would prefer to care for your babies in your home. My pups are VERY sweet and love to play at the dog park with other dogs but I would rather not chance bringing new friends in. But with that being said once we all get to know each other and maybe a few trips together to the dog park. I would have absolutely no problem bringing them over. If there is ever situation and you need to bring them here like I said mine have the whole end of the house and we have a fenced in backyard so keeping them separate would not be a problem!

About: I grew up with two dogs one being a Rottweiler and a Yorkie Terrior & 5 cats and I took care of my pets for as long I can even start to remember until now I moved from Jersey and they’re with my family. Responsibilities includes walking, making special meals as instructed, bathing your pets, giving your babies food and water, enjoy play time, cleaning liter boxes/cages and more! I moved here to Dothan Alabama by myself from New Jersey and currently staying at home and have so much free time to play and hang out with your pets. My house has a fenced in and spacious yard. I live in a safe and pet friendly neighborhood. Can’t wait to meet you and your fur babies!

About: My goal is to create a safe and loving environment for your fur baby. My own dog Roxy is like one of my children. I understand the importance of entrusting her to a loving family. I will provide walks every two hours, we will have soft bedding for your baby, and unless you insist we do not require crates. We work from home so we will be with your fur baby the entire day. Our dog Roxy is 7 years old (Human years). She's easygoing and loves being around other animals. I will send pictures and updates of your pet's time with our family. I look forward to meeting you and your pup!! Since we work from home, we are available at all times to care for Pet needs. We let Roxy, our seven-year-old pup outside several times a day. She's potty trained, so she alerts us when she's ready to go out for a break and she alerts us when she's ready to come back in. We understand not all pups are at this level, Therefore, with watching new pets we will keep a close eye on your baby and will ensure all their needs are met and that their time with us is enjoyable. Pets are allowed in our home, we have plenty of space and are a loving pet family. We also have a fenced-in yard and a screened-in back porch for pets to get outside time in a comfortable and safe environment.

About: Recently moved to Dothan to be with family. I’ve had pets all my life whether it was a dog, cat, bird, I’ve even babysat a bunny! It’s never a dull moment with me as I’m always ready to play with my furry friends. Having taken care of my first (solo) pet, a cat who’s now 4 years old has challenged me so much, I am ready for just about anything! I love walking and going on hikes. Can’t wait to meet you and your bestie! I currently am working with Rover full time. On my days off I enjoy maintaining an active lifestyle to counteract my unofficial job of eating food 24/7! (I used to be a chef so I am very adaptable and have lots of energy). I will care for your pets as I do my own, with love and compassion. Although I will not tolerate scratching the couch, peeing on the floor, ect I understand animals make mistakes too and will be considerate- clean up the mess and try to assist correcting the problem by showing them where to pee or playing with them to release extra energy or tension they might have. Sometimes pets just want company and I’m more than happy to do just that as well.
