Dog Walking in Bayview, 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!

“We have used Victoria for a 30 minute walk and an all day doggie daycare for our 7 month old lab / golden retriever mix. It was overall a 10/10 experience. Victoria was very responsive and had the perfect, doggie friendly space to take care of our puppy. Victoria even schedule a meet and greet session with us before our first booking to make sure we were comfortable with the set up. We will be using Victoria again!!”

“Dalton was absolutely amazing! We need a sitter for several weeks in a few months and I was very anxious about leaving my furbabies to be taken care of by someone else. I scheduled two dog walking sessions so the boys could get familiar with Dalton and it could not have gone better! They were beyond excited to see Dalton when he arrived for their second walk. I am so happy to have found Dalton and feel completely at ease with him watching my pups while we’re out of town.”

Heather L.

“Couldn’t ask for anyone better for my pup! Justin & Jasmine were flexible with my last minute requests which gave me such peace of mind. I received thorough reports with plenty of photos. I know Prince was well taken care of and had an amazing time walking with Jasmine :)”

Jamie C.

“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.”

Ashley & Weston H.

“Punctual and very nice”

Eli & Erin C.

“Michael was very friendly and attentive to dogs. The dogs enjoyed their walk. I tried to can cel the secon walk but could not.”

June H.

“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.”

Joe D.

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

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.

About: I have taken care of all types of pet my entire life I would love to provide on the go families an opportunity to work or relax. I’m available at any time to take care and or play with your pet I’m also available for walks and grooming.I love spending time with all types of animals getting to know their personality I have a play are in the home for your pet to be inside with plenty of doggie toys. I have a big back yard for the pet to have fresh air and personal time

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 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.

“Kaleigh was great. She was there each time we requested and took our fur baby for her walks. She was a great communicator. I will use her again!!”

“Jordan was a pleasure to work with! She sent us updates on the walks and when i get back home my fur baby was his same happy self. Thank you for caring for him! Will definitely use again in the future!”

“Maitland is very accommodating. She has helped me work around my new work schedule for Rosa. She met Rosa and myself for an introduction for all of us. Rosa really enjoys the time when Maitland comes to hang out with her. I would recommend to friends and family that have needs to be met.”

About: Thanks for checking out my profile! I've had a variety animals all my life, and my parents instilled in me that animals deserve the best care possible. Animals are too good for us, and I always want to make them feel loved and well taken care of whenever I can- gimme all the cuddles! I have almost 9 years of paid experience as a puppy-sitter, and I absolutely LOVE it! It's a big thing to let a stranger into you home to watch your family members, so I am more than happy to do a FaceTime/Zoom call or we can meet up at a coffee shop to get to know each other! When I watch your babies, I request a written list of all items/food times needed for each animal so that I can make sure everything is taken care of and all babies are happy and healthy while you're away! I'm working part-time right now, so I have lots of time to be with your babies and to make sure they have all the love they need. The longest I ever plan to be gone from your babies is 6 hours. As per my request, I will follow the written list to a T. I want to make sure your babies are taken care of while you're away, and realize that that can be a scary thing for animals. I always strive to make sure that your animals are comfortable and that they feel loved!

About: I'm new to pet sitting but have taken care of my furry friend a few times and really liked it. I’m calm, responsible, and make sure pets feel safe and comfortable while their owners are away. I'm home most of the time, so I have a very open schedule. I can give pets lots of attention, playtime, and care throughout the day. At my home, visiting dogs have their own space away from my dog. I have two cats who are used to dogs, too. Since our yard isn’t fenced, dogs will be on a leash whenever we’re outside. I make sure every pet feels safe, comfortable, and well cared for while they’re here.

“Brenna was so amazing with Kenney and Sean, they had such a great experience with her and I’m so happy we were able to find her with such short notice! Thank you so much Brenna we are so grateful!!”

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.
