Dog Walking in Bayside, Mobile, AL

About: My household has always had a furry friend in it since the day I was born from small ankle biters like Chihuahuas to hefty cuties like my current Bully Pit that I can safely wrestle in some horseplay. Puppies, seniors, we don't discriminate 'round here! I don't mind getting my hands dirty and have small experience in clicker training younger pups along with an energy to match whichever personality I'm given. A boundless Collie? We can play all day! A sleepy old Bassett? We can chill with some TV. I'm not above being put to work either. Give me a litter box to clean. Give me medicine and I'll make sure it's getting swallowed. Toss a cat my way as well why doncha? I worked as a cat caretaker during my fall and spring semesters in Auburn University, as well as own a lovely kitten named Autumn, so having a feline to shake things up would be a nice treat! Trust me, my hands have a good pain tolerance. Beyond that, I know it costs major bucks to look after your pets. Or pay someone ELSE too. Sometimes a week stay for a pet can run up to $500! That's why you come to me. I offer affordable rates because I'm more concerned with the passion than the money. I have multiple pets of my own and I know the chip they can put in my wallet just from vet visits! So I won't let it get in your way! 🤠 I've graduated happily from Auburn University with a degree in Animal Sciences and am settling into a new job. This means that while I'm happy to take on new clients, my schedule is sporadic as it's determined on a weekly basis. It also means I will be gone for many hours at a time. My current work schedule and thus how long I'd be busy for Aug 11-17 is: Mon: Free Tue: 4-9:30 pm Wed: 5-9:30 pm Thurs: 5-9:30 pm Fri: 3-9:30 pm Sat: 4-9:30 pm Sun: Free Safety is a non-negotiable when it comes to our furry friends. Just like I do with my own pals, I stay by them at all times when outside and encourage their attention with toys or loving scritches when they're not doing their business. If push comes to shove, I am capable of safely wrestling an overzealous dog into calming down or tightening the 'ol leash if need be. With cats, responsibly scruffing rarely fails. Inside, unless stated otherwise where they're allowed to park themselves, I stay with my little friends on the floor and can crate them if specified to do so when it's bedtime. If they're free roamers, I let them tag along where I go! Except the kitchen. I also welcome animals who require daily or periodic medication. Bear in mind I charge $10 per day of administering medication, and it would cover all required meds for that day. Rest assured your friend will be taken care of!

“Victoria was so sweet and attentive with my dogs! She made sure they got more than just a walk with lots of cuddles and playtime. She’s great about sending pictures and a good summary! Will definitely use again. Thank you!!”

“Valarie did such a great job taking care of Pongo while we were out of town. Not only was he supper happy when we got home but the photos, videos and updates were wonderful to have. She even vacuumed up all the dog hair, that was a nice surprise to come home to a clean floor.”

About: Growing up on a farm meant loving and caring for all animals. As an adult, I have had animals on the smaller side including rabbits, dogs, and cats. I often pet sit for family, friends, and neighbors when they need a helping hand. I genuinely believe in creating a safe and caring environment for these beautiful creatures. I work from home and get to decide my schedule. This allows me to schedule as many drop-ins and walks, or board your fur babies. For a drop-in or walk I will ensure your pet is provided care and love. I am happy to collect mail and water plants if needed. For boarding your canine friends, I offer a cozy and loving home. I have my own medium sized dog that is a sweetie and loves other animals. I also own two cats that are used to dogs but I can also separate them if needed since they have their own room to escape to.

“Amelia did a great job! Will use her again!”

“I gave Deanna a key to my place to walk my dog. She walked her for an hour, dropped her off and left the key. My dog seems like really life her. She was on time and everything was so smooth.”

About: I have been a genuine animal lover my entire life! Since I was young I was quick to bond with any animal, no matter how ornery they were. For years, I have been the trusted sitter for my family's, friend's, and coworker's furry friends. My main passion in sitting is giving your fur babies all the love, companionship, and structure they need to keep their stress down and stay on routine. I also have a passion for animal photography, so there is a good chance you will be left with a cute little memento to welcome you back home. I'm excited and look forward to watching your tail-wagging sidekicks! I strive to be available for your pet whenever I am needed! I'm passionate about keeping your pets on routine as much as I can, and am willing to adapt my schedule as much as possible to achieve that. My experience revolves around pet sitting in the client's homes. I'm a "by the book" personality, so I will follow all pet care instructions to the tee. So I will care for your pets in the exact same way that you care for your pets.

About: I have worked in the pet industry for almost 8 years and have enjoyed every single minute of it! At my current position, I have been working directly with dogs for 5+ years and plan to work with dogs for years to come! I am currently working part time(mon-fri after 4pm), so that leaves plenty of time during your work day for me to visit with your pet! For morning/afternoon visits, I can drop in any time before 4pm(latest drop in 3:15p), so I would be perfect for those lunch time pick-me-ups that pets love! If you work night shift and need a late night drop in, I'm your choice! I am available all week after 8pm(earliest pm drop in would be 8:15pm) for walks, potty breaks, or late night snacks! I am confident in my leash walking skills and care abilities. I am also well versed in containment and different types of behavior styles in dogs. Whether they are grumpy or happy-go-lucky, I am confident in my ability to provide excellent care.

About: I have many pets at home (10 to be exact) and they are the best part of each day. I would love to get to know yours as well! I just took a break from college, so I have a lot of free time. I am still available on weekends but not full time because of work. Weekdays are totally free! My main goal is to make your pets feel safe and comfortable with me. I will do what’s needed to make them feel as though they can trust me.

About: I've raised several puppies into adulthood throughout my life and I have experience in dog sitting that I have done for friends and family through the years. I'm currently searching for a new career, so I have plenty of time to take care of animals. I'm looking forward to a new experience! I have a fenced yard, and two small dogs to keep your pets company. I can also crate dogs if necessary! I have one big dog that stays in the back yard and in his crate.

About: I love to watch pets! I grew up having pets and they bring such joy and comfort to anyone they are around. I had dogs growing up, but when I got my own place I decided to get cats. Every pet is amazing, and I enjoy taking them on walks, going to the park, and giving them extra cuddles. I treat every pet the same, no matter the size or age. I welcome all and I am excited to spend time with your pet, and learn more about them. I’m easy-going and flexible pricing. I promise to take the best care of your pets, and treat them like they are my own. I look forward to hearing from you and meeting your pet. Thank you! I am a stay at home mom, so I am home almost all day with the pets! I am available for weekends, and most of the time on short notice if you’re visiting and need someone to watch your pet/pets for a few hours! I make sure they are comfortable with me, and I let them walk around my home to get a sense of the area. If it’s in your home I do the same thing with making sure they are comfortable with me. Once they are comfortable I will give them the best care, and make sure they gets lots of love!

About: I have had dogs, sometimes multiple ones, all my life. I am an animal lover, and advocate, of all kinds of animals. I just lost my Maltese of 13 years old which traveled the world with me literally. I was only away from him for two nights his whole life, and that was bc he spent the night at the vets one night, and I spent the night at the hospital one night. He went everywhere with me. From restaurants to Walmart. If I went he went. I have no children, so he was my child. I will treat your baby with the same love, and care. I have a newly build house with an acre that is fenced in. So, if your dog is large and likes to run outside, it can. I also have a screened in back porch. You baby will be safe and loved in my home. I am retired and spend most of my time at home. So your dog will be supervised, as per hour request. I am flexible and will listen to the owners request, as much as possible. I have a fenced in acre of land. I also have a screen in back porch. If you have small dogs, they can run freely, and I would stay outside to watch them. If you have large dogs they can stay out all they want. Dogs love me! They know if you are of good character, or not.

About: I have taken care of pets since I was in middle school. I have had pets (cats and dogs) of my own since elementary school! I work from home and it’s very easy going. Lots of time to do extra things like take care of pets! I can make drop ins at anytime! I would prefer to do drop ins in homes instead of having pets come into our home for the time being but I have no problem stopping by multiple times a day for walks and feedings!

About: I’ve always lived in a household with dogs for my entire life, ranging from a chow chow to a husky mix to a cat and hamster. I I always felt that I had a special connection with animals and feel as if they really are another child in a family. I would take upmost responsibility in caring for whatever animal I’m charged with, since I would want someone to do the same with my own animals. I would make sure your pet will feel as loved and cared for as possible, as if they were mine. Animals really are a mans best friend, and they deserve to be treated as such. You don’t have to worry about leaving your animals with me, they will be in responsible and loving hands!! I'm currently an independent artist, so I have lots of time in between projects to check on and or stay with your pet. I love the art that I do, but it keeps me in the house a lot, and having a job that allows me to get out of the house and care for an animal sounds not only rewarding, but helpful on my end as well! I'll want to ensure any needs the animals may have - aka any allergies or triggers that would need to be avoided. I'll also want to know any house rules that the dogs need to follow and that I need to follow as well. Some folks are more lax than others, it all depends on the client.
