Dog Walking Birmingham

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.

“We highly recommend hiring Sarah for pet care! She showed interest in our dog's unique personality, paid alot of attention to detail, was very organized, and an excellent communicator. It's great to be able to hire such a reliable and considerate person. Thanks Sarah!”

About: Growing up I was the girl on the street who preferred petsitting to babysitting, and as soon I could in my 20s, I adopted the sickest oldest cats in the facilities and loved them until their deaths. In my 30s I’ve mixed it up and have two big rescue dogs, and we’ve been at the dog park nearly every day for 6 years now. Wow they grow fast! I’d love to share a moment of your lives with a walk or overnight, and I’ll treat them like family — only better. :) I am available Monday-Sunday. There are many parks and we walk several times a day and play on- and off-leash. Basically, my two dogs are my life right now so I thought I’d try this to have something to do! I have a two-bedroom apartment but one is devoted to the dogs and there is extra space in my master room if dogs don’t need to sleep together. While I only have a balcony, it is good enough for my dogs to sunbathe on and stare at passersby. Additionally, there are many parks nearby and we walk several times a day and play, off- and on-leash available. I’m open for questions. I’d love to have your pet to add to my life while I pursue stand up comedy.

About: I’m an educator, dad, and lifelong pet owner with more than 20 years of experience caring for animals. Pets have always been part of my family, so I understand that trusting someone with yours is a big deal. I’m patient, attentive, dependable, and comfortable following established routines for feeding, walks, playtime, medications, and all the little things that help a pet feel safe and comfortable. As an early childhood professor, caregiving, observation, communication, and responsibility are quite literally part of what I do every day. I’ll care for your pet with the same attention and affection I expect for my own. As a university professor, my schedule offers more flexibility than a traditional 9-to-5, particularly on certain weekdays, evenings, and weekends. I’m also a dad, so planning, routines, and being dependable are already a big part of my life! I’m happy to coordinate care around your pet’s normal schedule whenever possible and will always be upfront about my availability before accepting a booking. I know pets are family, and I treat both your pet and your home with that level of care and respect. I follow your instructions closely, maintain established feeding, walking, medication, and bedtime routines, and pay attention to changes in behavior or appetite. I’m patient about letting pets warm up to me at their own pace and prioritize safety at all times. You can also expect dependable communication and updates while you’re away. I know how reassuring it is to know that someone you love is happy, safe, and well cared for.

About: Having grown up with animals most my life…I pride myself in the ability to comfort and love your furry friend… Even from a distance. My special skills, are soft skills… Meaning that I work best with slow warm-ups for any anxious pets. But also, I’m ready for any high energy animals as well. I go to school, and work during the weekdays… But have a giant break in the middle of the day, for any pet care. Weekends work best for me. Making sure to adapt to whatever the pet owner, and pet need. Whether that means space, or extra attention… I can be that in-between person you request. I also pride myself on attention to detail… So will notice any change in behavior, or care necessary.

“Aniya did an amazing job with Max and Milo with taking them out and sending me pictures while they were out on their walk. Anyia was very informative and I truly appreciate the fact that she took the time to be informative. I will use her again to take care of my fur babies.”

About: I have two cats of my own and have been a foster mom of big dogs, small dogs, and senior dogs as well as a sitter for friends with big dogs! Before medical school, I volunteered with Shelby Animal and Adopt a Golden. I’m a runner and love to take the dogs I sit on runs with me if they tolerate exercise well :) I’m a medical student at UAB with some flexibility before clinicals and am excited to meet your pet! Currently I am on dedicated study time for medical school so my schedule is completely flexible! I like to stay active so I go for a run once a day or go to the gym but can otherwise drop in for care or pet sit at any time! In my home I have a crate, toys, and a dedicated dog park that I can take pups to! In my clients home I would treat their pets just as I treat my own with lots of love and attention.

About: For as long as I can remember, there have always been pets in my life! Whether that was in my own home growing up, in a family member's home, at friends' houses, etc. I have often been the go-to person when it comes to caring for them when their owners are out of town. From walking, feeding, playing, administering medication, and more, I have absolutely loved getting to care for pets of all sizes and ages. As for my own pet experience, after moving to Birmingham in 2018 I applied to become a foster through Two by Two Rescue and began fostering (and quickly failed) with my sweet 13-year-old Pekingese, Max. He was truly the light of my life and we were the best of friends! He taught me a ton about how to care for senior dogs. Before his passing in 2021, I rescued my cat, Mews, and although she's a little hesitant around other pets she stays in her own space! At my own home, I do have stairs but have no issue helping any senior pups or dogs afraid of going upstairs feel comfortable. I used to have to carry Max all the time, haha. I'm also comfortable with pee pads as they used to be a staple in my apartment. I'm not particular about whether or not your pet is create trained and have no issue if they're not! As long as they'd be okay around my cat, I'm more than happy to let them roam around as they please. There are plenty of sidewalks around my apartment for walkies and we're close to a community park as well! Discussing my work schedule is something I do before my meet and greets just so we both have an understanding of expectations. However, my full-time job is a hybrid environment so I'm able to work remotely usually 2 days out of the week (Tuesdays and Thursdays) to care for your pet. On days I am in the office, I'm happy to run by your home during my lunch break if you're close to my office in Hoover. At my home, there is plenty of walking space to take your pup out and get some exercise. We can visit a local park near my house if that's something they'd enjoy. I'm also happy to crate your fur baby if needed.

“Clara did a great job walking our dogs! We have a 3 mo. old puppy and a senior dog and she handled their varying needs tremendously! She is very pleasant to deal with as she is kind, communicative, and she was punctual! Will definitely use her services again.”

About: Hey! I'm Emily and I love all animals. I believe they should all be treated equal, I'm thankful for the stress free environment they provide and how they are also great conversation starters. Who doesn't want to talk about how amazing their pet is and how they have THE best dog. But let's be real- all dogs are the best dogs. I am a part-time worker so I have a lot of free time and am willing to spend all of it with your animals. I work at a doggy daycare center here in Birmingham and have been trained in how to professionally handle dogs of all sizes in any situation. I have my own dog so if you're dog or cat is okay with other dogs, they can be friends :))) I'm currently working part-time so I'll have plenty of time to play with your animals! I can house sit or walk your dogs any time during the week, but most likely would only be able to board during the weekends. If I'm in a clients home, respect of you and your animals space is the first most important thing, allowing them to take their time getting used to me and comfortable with me. Once comfortable with me then we can do all their favorite things to distract them from missing their parents!

About: I look forward to spending time with every animal that I care for! Ever since losing my own dog in 2020, nothing brings me more joy than being able to care for and love on others' pets! I love going for walks or just sitting and spending quality time with pets. I am a college student so my schedule tends to fluctuate! However, I usually have availability that those with other jobs may not! I tend to do lunch time visits or overnight visits for pet care. I am open to any and all of your pet care needs! I care for pets as if they were my own. If I stay at someone's house, I abide by their household rules and make sure to keep their pets on schedule. Pets are my priority!

“Julithza is new to us but we love her already! She came to meet Norbert before the first walk and was very communicative during the whole process. She sent great pictures from the walk. We will definitely be using her again!”

About: I’ve taken care of pets my entire life, and I absolutely adore ALL animals! I’ve been on Rover for some time now, and I’m happy to help YOU and your baby! 🥹💛 At my house, I have two dogs (Phoebe and Coco) and a cat (Chandler)! I’m currently a student at UAB, and I would love to spend time with your sweet pets when I can! I can work around your schedule! Trust is the most important thing when it comes to our babies, which is why I would love to meet you, the client, prior to taking care of your babies! Whether it’s virtually or in-person, I want to make sure you know that I am committed to keeping your fur-baby safe!

About: I am an extremely caring and loving individual, who has owned two dogs, two cats, and dozens of other pets. Therefore I know how to accommodate whatever needs your pet might have. Having lost my oldest dog recently, being around other animals is fun and therapeutic for me as well. I am looking for work to supplement playing gigs on the weekend. Since I spend much time writing music at home, I will have plenty of time to spend with your pet. I have an easy going schedule being a teacher and musician. I have plenty of time to meet with your pet to attend to whatever needs they might have. I have plenty of space for pets to roam around my house. I also have a fenced in back yard where I like to spend time with my dog or friends dogs when the warmer weather is here.

“Super friendly, easy booking and great with my dog :)”

“I felt so comfortable with Leah looking after my pups when I was out of town. I knew they were in good hands and her communication was stellar. I will use Leah again.”

About: From a young age, I’ve had a deep connection with animals, understanding their needs and respecting their unique personalities. My earliest memories include befriending all kinds of creatures, which taught me that every living being deserves care and compassion. As your pet sitter, I bring this lifelong love and respect to ensure your fur baby is not only well-cared for but also truly comfortable and happy. With years of experience in pet sitting for both dogs and cats, I understand how important it is for your pet to feel at ease in your absence. You can rest assured that your beloved companion will receive attentive, loving care in a safe environment. I am committed to providing the best possible experience for your pet, leaving them as happy and content as when you left them in my care. Pet care fits into my routine seamlessly because I have the flexibility to set my own hours with my cleaning business. This allows me to dedicate specific times to ensure each pet receives the care and attention they need, whether it’s feeding, exercise, or playtime. In caring for pets, I prioritize safety, trust, and a comfortable environment. Building trust is crucial, so I get to know each pet’s routines and preferences, keeping owners updated. I ensure a welcoming environment in the client’s home by maintaining clean and comfortable spaces, and providing tailored care to meet each pet’s needs—whether it’s exercise and play for dogs or cozy spots and enrichment for cats.

About: I’m a pediatric nurse and lifelong animal lover who understands the importance of being dependable, attentive, and patient. I have experience caring for dogs and am comfortable with feeding, walks, playtime, medications, and following specific routines and instructions. I’ll treat your pet like my own and make sure they receive plenty of attention, love, and care while you’re away. I work as a pediatric nurse, so my schedule varies throughout the week and gives me availability on many weekdays and weekends. On my days off, I have plenty of time to dedicate to walks, drop-in visits, playtime, and keeping your pet company. Your pet’s safety and comfort are my top priorities. I’m very attentive to changes in behavior and will carefully follow all feeding, medication, exercise, and household instructions you provide. I respect each pet’s individual routine and personality and will make sure they receive safe, loving, and dependable care in their own environment.

“Christina is the best petsitter. My experience with her for the past 4 months have been amazing. I was never worried about my dog and she took care of Kai so well. 1000% recommended”

About: I have grown up around dogs and absolutely love them. I got my first dog when I was 6 years old, and I took him to college with me when he was 13 years old. I took care of him as his health began to decline and truly loved him so much. After he passed away, I got my rescue, Viv. She is a pitbull / lab mix and I have had her since 2023! She has been with me through it all! I cannot wait to work with your dogs and help you take care of them. I know how tough it can be for a dog to change their routine and I'm here to help make those changes as minimal and smooth as possible. I'm currently looking for a job while applying to law school, so I have plenty of free time to care for your pups! I can do drop-in visits and walks regularly. I can feed your dogs wet or dry food (I'm used to that with my dog and my family's dogs) and take them on walks or runs (I am training for a half marathon)! I will make sure they constantly have enough water and have been taken potty enough.
