Dog Sitting in Daphne

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!

“Rachel was very attentive to Punk and Jasmine. She always kept us informed of what was happening. Not only giving us status of how they were doing while she was there but letting us know when she was heading over to visit, loving on our dogs while she was there and letting us know how they were doing.”

About: I've owned a Rhodesian Ridgeback, a Shi-poo, and now a Bernie Doodle. The Bernie doodle is three years old and kind and welcoming. The cat will hang out at a distance. I am retired and "working" from home. I have the time to commit to taking care of your pets' needs during the early mornings, daytime, and evening. Overnight if needed. My home has a fenced back yard. I am home all day so they will be let out often if staying here and am available during day for walks and check ins. Our house is calm and quiet. If at your home, your pet will be taken care of per your instructions. I love to play fetch, run them in backyard, walk them, and certainly love on them to make them feel loved, exercised, and relaxed.

About: I’ve been around dogs since the day I was born, and love taking care of them. I have watched and walked dogs for friends and family off and on since I was 15. I’ve watched sweet senior dogs to energetic puppies. I have potty trained and leased trained my dogs and provided medications for dogs. I am available most days of the week. I have lots of free time midafternoons for your pet. I have school on Tuesday at 8 to 10:30 then 12:30 to 2 and Thursday 12:30 to 2 I can work around most schedules. Having been around dogs all my life, I enjoy their company. I think dogs are our best friends and should be treated as such. I realize some dogs need lots of energy released and others not so much!

“Will definitely have her come babysit my dogs again! Alyssa did drop in visits with my two high energy big dogs! She let them play outside for as long as they wanted and she interacted with them for her entire visit! She did great capturing pictures to show their playtime together! Alyssa was great at communicating with me and left me with a well detailed report card of the dogs which I appreciated!”

About: Big dog lover and would love to help you with your sitting needs from weekend overnight care, daily dog walking services, and daily check in’s. I currently work from home Monday-Friday. It’s very flexible so I’m available nearly everyday. The only time I will be unavailable is when I go out of town occasionally. I am able to drop in to walk, feed, and play with your pet during the early mornings and evenings. Typically available everyday of the week.

About: Raised in a household passionate about animals, I have cherished a lifelong love for pets. Growing up amidst a family devoted to breeding cats and dogs, our home was always filled with furry companions. As a child, I delighted in participating in junior dog shows, creating enduring memories of those early experiences. Presently, our household is graced by the presence of a delightful poodle mix who brings immense joy to our lives. I would be honored to provide loving care for your beloved pet while you're away. Having recently been laid off from my corporate position, I am now eagerly dedicating myself to this new career path. With no young children to care for, I have the flexibility to fully commit to this endeavor. I provide a safe, cozy environment filled with cuddles, walks, and games for my buddy, and I plan to offer the same for yours. Known for my calming effect on animals, many approach me without hesitation. Your companion will find the same welcoming atmosphere in my care.

“Ariana was outstanding!! Very communicative, attentive, and punctual. She always kept me updated with pictures & videos! I would most definitely use Ariana again in the future!! Thank you again :)”

About: I’ve taken care of our dog for the past 4 years. Friends, family and neighbors have relied on myself and family to help feed, walk and bathe their pets when out of town or during the week when busy. I will take and treat your dog/dogs like their apart of our family ❤️ I currently stay at home with our 2 year old son who has cerebral palsy and absolutely loves being around animals. We have plenty of time during the day to love on other sweet dogs and go on many walks. I have a fenced yard with a large amount of playing and running area. I can crate your dog also if needed! We have a nice large neighborhood with sidewalks for walks during the day.

About: Thank you for visiting my profile! After more than 20 years of touring as a classical musician - as well as managing my own music company - I decided to retire in 2015 and a more tranquil pace in my life. I started traveling around the world and was blessed with the loving company of animals along the way during more than 50 house and farm sits. While traveling I started writing and publishing books, which means I'm spending a lot of time home writing, so your fur babies will get a lot of love and attention. I'm very experienced with dogs of all sizes and absolutely LOVE cats. Had many sits with large numbers of animals - 6-7 frequently, on a farm sit even 17 once - so larger numbers are no problem. You will get daily pictures and videos of your babies and my response time is usually within minutes. Can't wait to hear from you & meet your furry friends! Thank you for reading my profile! Very flexible schedule. I work from home, writing books, running a blog and creating online courses, so will give plenty of company to your fur babies :) While working on my laptop there is usually a kitty or 2 next to me or on my lap. Love cuddling, playing and enjoying precious fur baby time. Cats are my passion.

About: Hi I’m James— a lifelong animal lover with a soft spot for pups of all shapes and sizes. Whether your dog loves long walks, snuggles on the couch, or playtime in the yard, I’m here to make sure they feel loved and safe while you’re away. I treat every pet like my own and always keep you updated with pictures and messages. Let’s make tails wag together! I am currently working part time. I have more than enough time and would love to take care of you all your pets whenever you need it. I love taking care and playing with all types of animals especially dogs. I personally have one dog named Rigatoni who I just love and is part of my family.

“Meghan was fantastic!! Our babies were well taken care of and very happy when we got back in town! She has excellent communication, and I loved reading her check-in messages with each visit! We will definitely book with Meghan again and highly recommend you do too!!”

About: I have had dogs ever since I was a kid, and currently have 2 dogs (4.5 and 2.5 years old). I take it very seriously when it comes to who takes care of them, so I know what it’s like when researching for a sitter or caretaker. I have watched friends dogs inside their homes and my own, for weeks at a time. I just moved back to the area and currently have open availability for going over to your home and checking on your pet, and for walking. I can come over to your home and feed your pet as needed, as well as let them out and/or walk them. If they need medication, we can go over that as well.

About: I have been a lover of animals since a small child. I have taken care of several of my own over the years and also many of my friends. Many times housesitting along with caring for their dogs. Currently have one dog but I’m available for most jobs. I currently work part time but I am available most hours of the day. I mostly work a few hours in the evening and on the weekend. I cannot care for pets at my home because I live in an apartment and am only allowed to house my pet. I could come and do drop and visits and walking.

“Brooklyn did an absolute incredible job taking care of our senior husky, who requires special care! It looked like she cleaned the house before we arrived back home! I’d 100% recommend her and will have her care for our dog again!”

About: I have had my own personal dogs for 15 years, size ranging from great dane to chihuahua. Size is not an issue. I can ensure your pet is taken care of and loved while you are away. I did work 2 years for a groomer. I am comfortable giving simple baths if your animal is in need. I am currently venturing the stay at home mom role. I will have a lot of time to love and cuddle your animals from morning to night. I can even do evenings. No care in MY home currently. I will come to your home, I will walk your pets throughout the day to tire them out for tons of love on your return home.

“Alyssa is amazing!! This is the first time we’ve left our kitties for an extended period of time, and she’s been so great with them. Very communicative, knows what she’s doing, and accommodating! I will definitely be hiring her again!”

About: I’ve taken care of animals since I was 7. I have also fostered dogs in the past, so I have dealt with animals that need extra care. I want you and your animal to be comfortable while you are away, and will treat your animal as if they were my own. I am honest, hard working, and a dedicated individual. I currently have open availability to work with your fur babies. I am a pilot who is time building, and can work my schedule as needed. Feel free to reach out in advance to book a slot. I have a fenced in yard at my home with a back room where they can have their own space. I can do whatever you feel comfortable with in your home. I will obviously respect your instructions regarding your home

“Steely was incredible! I was so busy the day I left town I never got to send my typical welcome message, but Steely never missed a beat and, to my knowledge, had no issues! 5 stars across the board! We highly recommend him to take care of your fur babies and can’t wait to book him again!!”
