Dog Walking in Carlen, 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 July 14-20 is: Mon: 4-9:30 pm Tue: Free Wed: Free Thurs: 9 am-5 pm Fri: 5-9:30 pm Sat: 1-9:30 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!

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 pets my entire life and just love them, doggies especially! I have been trusted with keeping many of my friends pets over the years and taking care of homes. I am in and out of the house during the day working a couple of different jobs all of which allow me to swing by during the day or keep me here during the day. I am always home at night. I have a fully fenced unescapable yard. I have a doggy door so the pets can go in and out as they please. I have a small shitzu who is old and nearly blind and deaf. She loves other animals and keeps to herself mostly.

“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 :)”

About: Hello, my name is Michael and I'm ready to care for your pets! I have many years of pet care experience but my main selling point is that I work from home and can offer round-the-clock care, attention, and love. I look forward to getting to know your furriest family members! Also, I'm very large so large dogs are more than welcome. I work from home so I am available pretty much anytime that my clients will need. I am also working on a personal project so I do not get out and party very much so I am happy to keep your pets company for as long as they like. As a long time pet sitter, I know how to handle all aspects of care including medicine, diets, exercise, and enrichment. I will be happy to care for them in your homes and will bring my own food and water so don't worry about me raiding your pantry.

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.

“Ann keeps being wonderful to use! 2 weeks in a row that I have needed her daily and she always shows up and even an extra visit at the last minute.”

About: A little about me: I am retired from AT&T, live next door to my son and his family and have a life long love of all animals. I’ve had experience with aging pets of my own and I’m able to give oral and topical medications. I’ve also had a lot of experience with pets with anxiety. Being retired allows me plenty of time to care for your pets. My routine will be adjusted to fit caring for your pet; not having your pet adjust to my routine. I can only board pets who get along with cats because I have one that means a lot to me. So, please understand if I don’t take your booking if you’re unsure how your pet will react to cats. I have a large fenced backyard for your pet to run and play in. If I’m house sitting in your home, I will follow your routine pet care.

“Priya was AMAZING! She took such good care of Scout and always sent us the cutest pictures. She was always on time and kept Scouts routine the same every day. 10/10 would recommend Priya!”

About: I have been a pet lover since birth. Very comfortable with almost all animals and treat them like a family member always. I have had a total of 5 dogs my entire life and have never been without one. I’ve had birds, fish, bunnies and cats as well. Love pets from tiny to giant. No breed frightens me. I like to rub, pet, brush, tug and throw toys. Slobber does not bother me and love dog kisses. I am very aware of the responsibility involved with care giving. It is like taking care of a baby. They need your undivided attention and time. I am organized. I pay attention to detail. However always flexible as well. This is something that brings me great joy in life I am semi retired and have an open schedule. My days and nights are pretty flexible. I have help with my own pet, so it allows me to be able to do overnight visits as well. My pets have always been my family members. They sleep in the bed with me, sit on the couch with me and watch TV. I like to take them for a long walks and also fun car rides.

“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.

About: I started off as a bather at PetSmart and realized the immediate connection and adoration I have for fur babies. I completed grooming school and when Covid hit I started my own mobile pet grooming and boarding service since the world was shut down. I currently own a mobile pet grooming service which allows me the flexibility to make my own schedule. I don’t have set days that I work and base my schedule off of my customer's needs. I speak at length with the pet parent to get information regarding the pet’s routines at home. Mimicking at home routines allows the pet to get used to being in a different environment. I also make sure when I take the fur baby outside of my home to use the restroom or transport them that they are secured by a leash so they won’t get away.
