Dog Walkers in Coker, AL

About: Hi furbaby parents! 🐕❤️ I know having to get sitter service, drop-in's or walks scheduled for your baby can be stressful nowadays. It's also hard to know who is the best fit, until you try. Life can be busy & demanding at times, & I understand the importance of finding the right one who will take great care of your baby. 🐶♥️ Being raised in the country with several furbabies, of various sizes with my grandma who was also an absolute furbaby-lover! So it just comes natural to me. Bc to me, they are our babies, our children & I have 30+ years experience of caring for them. Like us, they each have their own likes, dislikes, quirks & personalities. I have furkids myself & my house is setup for them- I just do the feeding, loving, treating, playing, replenish supplies & cleaning!🐶🥰 I have furbaby beds in several rooms, gates between doorways so in case someone wants to be alone, I can accommodate, or if your baby needs time to warm up to a new place, thats another reason to have gates, for them to meet & greet at their own pace. I just don't like the idea of having to stay in kennels, like at the vet! I have a whole playroom for furbaby friends with plenty of toys, beds & a fenced in backyard for supervised potty & play! My babies love everyone, but I know not everyone else's pups love the same things. I do understand how important the care for your baby is! Its important for them all feel safe & comfortable. I have kennels if needed, which we rarely use, with a spare room if needed. So if one wants to nap quietly & another wants to run & play, its no problem at all. *I can do boarding in my home, sitter service, stop by for drop-in visit & feed/water, potty & play, or stop by & take them for a walk. I can stop by for kitty care, but cant board Ms/Mr Kitty at my house, sorry. *Ater hours pickup/drop off is no problem. My furkids are neutered/ spayed, fully vaccinated & get monthly heartworm/hookwork flea/tick prevention 💊 Prevention & good health is very important to me, as I would hope yours is taken care of also. They love to play, & get along great with other furbabies! Your baby is in good hands here, & will have plenty of playtime & treats; OR if we just want to nap, we love that too! 😊 ✨️Message me & let me know what days/times you need. Lots of love to go around here. As mentioned, after hours is no problem for me, just let me know the Correct Dates/Times.🥰 ***FIRST TIME CLIENTS: Safety for all in important. Let's set up a quick meet & greet Prior to your baby's stay/care- especially for those "last minute needs"- emergencies happen. That way, I can get better acquainted with your baby & you, and so your baby isn't meeting me as a stranger on our first day of stay. **We will meet in a Public/Safe place. Thanks & hope to see you & your babies soon! 🥰UPDATE: Rover makes 20% of all earnings, I offer discounted or locked in rates for my Repeat clients or Regulars; I even do some private pay clients. I take care of furkids a little more "extra" than many furparents, I've been told! But to me that's a compliment! Bc being furbaby lover, I believe in real loving care, not just meeting basic needs. 🐕 🐈 🦮 🐈‍⬛️ I work locally & have recent changes in my schedule which gives me more availability. I also have my own precious furbabies at home, so it's not a new task. I would manage the same way I do for my own. So let me know what you need & I will get you on my calendar! And Thank you for inquiring with me. And much thanks to my current Regulars & for all the wonderful comments & reviews! I appreciate you all so much & I'm always here, so book early, as I only keep a few babies at a time, for adequate, attentive care! I have a treated fenced in back yard for our Supervised play & potty & security cameras in & outside my home for safety. Update: Please ensure your furbabies are up to date on vaccines. Cameras on and within property for safety. *I thought this should go in the safety area: I'm no stranger to the area. I'm originally from Fayette County. I have family here in Northport, Coker & Tuscaloosa. So, I am a lifelong local to the area, and have a complete background attached to my profile & also have updated Government Clearance. So rest assured, your baby is safe with me.

About: Animals are an absolute passion for me. With my compassion, caring nature, and familiarity with the basic needs of animals, I have the ability to care for pets perfectly. I have been passionate about animals since I was a child and this love for animals has grown over the years. I own 3 dog and a ferret – all are extremely well taken care of. Therefore, I am able to provide the same amount of love and care for your dogs as I do it for my own pets. My comprehension of the needs of pets, especially those of dogs, is outstanding – from feeding them food with the right nutrients to walking them, I know it all. I hope you will allow me to give your furry friend the best service! I currently work part-time. My availability is in the mornings and evenings during the week. On the weekends I am available at any time! Depending on the week, I may be available more times! I am very mindful of dog’s behavior in the home. I take my time when meeting a new dog and building trust. I also engage in providing positive reinforcement!

About: I have experience with many animals, ranging from dogs to horses. I have been responsible for animal care for the last 6 years. I have experience with reactive dogs as well as seniors and puppies. I can handle the energetic pullers, but can also train them to stop pulling. I can train a few basic commands. I also have experience with senior and disabled animals. I am a student, so I am typically busy from 10:30 a.m. to 4 p.m. I also work about 30 hours a week. I work morning and afternoon shifts for about 6 hours, but I am happy to accommodate your schedule and needs as best I can. I am very attentive to all animals under my care. I will always have my eyes on them and I love to provide enrichment activities.

About: Dogs have always been a huge part of my life, and caring for them doesn’t feel like work to me. I used to volunteer at a dog shelter at home where I saw all types of different dogs with different personalities and backgrounds. I got my very first pup, Ozzy (named after Ozzy Osbourne of course) when I was just 10 years old, and he's still healthy and kickin' it today! We currently have 2 boxers and 1 miniature schnauzer at home, and my roommate at college has a doberman. My family had a boxer named Belle who was hit by a car when she was just 9 months old, shattering her spine and hip, and dislocating the other. It was recommended to us by the vet that we amputate her leg, but we opted to rehab her to give her a fighting chance of having all 4 legs, especially since she was just a pup. Miraculously, after around-the-clock care, Belle regained full use of both of her hind legs and lived a happy, spoiled life :) In my mind, dogs are basically people too. They have such big emotions and amazing little personalities and deserve all the love! I love getting to know each dog’s personality and making sure they feel happy, safe, and loved while their parents are away. I currently have classes only on Tuesdays and Thursdays and am free MWF and occasionally weekends as well. On Tuesdays and Thursdays, my classes are done at 1:45 pm. I have a quick after-school pickup job for some teenagers during the week, but it never takes too long! I have experience with all types of dogs, including timid and territorial dogs. I used to volunteer at a dog shelter, where I was exposed to every type of dog there is! Seeing as I will be in your home to visit the dogs, I always allow the dog to sniff me and warm up to me before we start anything too overwhelming like a walk.

About: I have worked professionally with animals for over 12 years. I am a vet tech and can provide any type of care from your average house pets to your more exotic household pets such as rodents, reptiles and fish. I come with a plethora of references and would love to be your go to pet sitter while your out of town, working late or your pets desire some extra attention. I am a Tuscaloosa local so I will be available during all holidays, university breaks etc. I do own one dog names Snooki who is turning 10 this year. She is use to new dogs staying at our home because we perviously fostered for local area rescues. Please feel free to send me a message with any questions you may have.

“Alex is so great! Will definitely be booking with her again!”

About: I have taken care of my own dog now for 4 years including training and daily care. I have dog sat for multiple family members as well as daily dog walked. I’m currently home from college for summer break with a very flexible with my schedule and ability to take care of your pet whenever needed! I have a vehicle able to take your dog to and from dog parks as well as activities as well as the ability to be a reliable dog sitter.

About: I am a loving dog mom who views pet care as a privilege rather than a job. I have three dogs of my own and have been taking care of pets basically my whole life. I want people to feel they can be absent without being missed while I keep their pets happy, healthy, and entertained at their home or mine. I am currently working part-time so I have plenty of time to keep your pups entertained and cared for whether it be house sitting, walking, stop-ins, or boarding. Can board anytime of the week as long as pet is crate trained (crate is provided by me). I have a fenced in back yard with 3 friendly dogs to keep your furry friend entertained. Dogs are more the welcome to run around and play inside my home as well. I have lots of toys and lots of energy. My dogs and I love going on walks just as much as we love cuddling on the couch watching movies.

“Taylor is great! My puppy loves her and I feel so much better knowing someone we can trust is watching him when he stays with her!”

About: My whole life I’ve always owned rescues. Dogs and cats, you name it. I’ve also ridden horses my entire life as well. And as of currently I own 3 cats. About 5 years ago was when I actually started profiting of of my ‘babysitting’. I’ve taken care of all sorts of dogs, small to large. No breed scares me, and large animals do not scare me either. I have walked, bathed, fed, played, and have cleaned up after pets. As of right now, my schedule is very much cleared. I’m working part time and thought that a little side income from what I do regardless would be a good idea. Working with horses, I’ve developed a patient and calm disposition towards aggressive or scared behaviors. I try not to overwhelm any animal, and allow them to grow accustomed to my presence before I take part in whatever needs to be done.

About: My passion for pets and their mental well-being started early. Since 2019, my dad and I have volunteered at animal shelters, walking dogs and house training them to help them find loving homes. Now, as a college freshman, I’m continuing my mission to give back to the community and support animals as they grow. With two dogs of my own I trained and experience raising a litter of puppies, I understand how important it is for pets to feel safe, loved, and engaged. When your pets are with me, they’ll get more than just care—they’ll enjoy fun agility activities, positive interaction, and, most importantly, safety. I am currently a fully time student, along with involved into on campus clubs and volunteers at the Hospital, but, I still make time to take care of animals at my local animal shelter. Your pet’s safety is my top priority. My home provides a secure, pet-friendly environment where your furry friend can relax, play, and feel at ease. I ensure all spaces are free from hazards, with secure fencing and locked gates for outdoor activities.

About: I have had my own cat since i was 10 years old and been the only one caring for her in all ways. We also have a dog and have had several fosters pets!

We have a big yard for your dogs to run and play in with another doggie to keep them company! We also have a cat and can cage your dog ONLY IF NEEDED

About: I’ve had four dogs in my house since I was a kid and have grown up caring for all kinds of pets. Not only do I care for my own family’s pets, but I dog-sit and cat-sit often! I’ve cared for all kinds of dogs that have come in different sizes and attitudes. I am currently a full time student studying at UA, but I have more than enough time before, in between, and after my classes to watch and care for your pet! I currently have two dogs, one is an old man and the other is a puppy. I have experience taking care of every age dog and have been raised with dogs my whole life. I am willing to walk, feed, bathe, and play with your pet!

About: Hi, I'm Ryann, and I've been pet sitting for four years for various family’s. I'm currently in my junior year at the University of Alabama working towards a economics degree. I am available in the evenings and would be delighted to watch your fur babies. I have experience preparing meals for animals with dietary restrictions, and I am comfortable with doing any kind of work necessary for the pet to feel comfortable and safe while you are away. When I'm not in school or dog sitting, I enjoy reading, spending time with my family, and going on hikes with my dogs. I'd love the opportunity to get to know your family and would be happy to provide references if requested. I have had pets my whole life and I understand the need for proper care and love. I have a very flexible schedule, so checking on pets is never a problem for me. I enjoy being active and pets promote that lifestyle for me. I am able to do any service needed for the pets while you are away because I understand the importance of the fur babies and want them to feel as safe and comfortable as possible. I will do any service that an owner asks of me while caring for their pets. I ensure that the pets will be given the same amount of care and love while their owners are gone and that is important to me as a pet sitter. This may include going for walks, feeding, taking medicine, and honestly anything that is normal for their needs.

“Grace was wonderful! I needed someone to walk my dogs last minute after a different arrangement fell through and Grace was able to do so. She is clearly very responsible and the dogs loved her. I’m sure we’ll be using her services again!”
