Dog Walkers in Doster, AL

About: Hi! I'm now available after a short hiatus. (Hence the gaps in the reviews) Recently married, my name is now Brittney Tyson Sporman. I have been caring for all sorts of animals for the majority of my life. I am owner to three wonderful doggos, four charismatic kitties, a grumpy hedgie (Nugget), and a little dinosaur (gecko) named Mochi. Since I developed such a love and joy for animal caregiving it seemed only right to pursue a career in the veterinary field. I started off as a kennel tech at my local humane society which eventually lead to me managing the cat section of the shelter. This was when I realized I am first and foremost a crazy cat lady. I gained experience in learning how to evaluate and treat illness as well as properly care for felines and canines. Once I mastered the basics of venipuncture, medication administration, and vaccines I had enough experience to get a job at a local veterinary clinic. There I acted as a receptionist, client care coordinator, and veterinary assistant. I counseled clients regarding nutrition, behavioral problems, obesity, parasite problems, geriatric, flea problems, pre- and post-operative care, treatment instructions, etc. as well as assisting veterinarians and technicians with pets and diagnostics as necessary. After doing this for a few years I became familiar with veterinary medical terminology and procedures, how to perform wellness examinations, and how to recognize significant changes in health and mentation. This led to me being able to get a job at Auburn University College of Veterinary Medicine. I worked as an unlicensed veterinary technician in immediate and intensive care in Auburn’s emergency and critical care department for most of my career before going back to general practice. After working in general practice for one year I realized my passion was in emergency medicine and I started working at an emergency clinic as an overnight ICU nurse. After my grandmother got diagnosed with cancer I decided to take a step back from full time veterinary medicine as I was facing compassion fatigue and burn out. That’s when I decided not to let my 10+ years of experience go to waste and I started my “business”, Lemon’s Aid. "Lemon's Aid" was founded in honor of my special needs puppy, Lemon. It is my hope and ambition at Lemon's Aid to provide exceptional healthcare and pet sitting experiences for your pets with skilled nursing treatments, specialty care, convenient home-based visits, as well as home to hospital transportation. Nursing house calls and in home sitting help alleviate the stress and anxiety that pets, and their families can experience during traditional vet clinic or boarding facility visits. This business helps bring in income as well as gives me the flexibility needed to care for my family. I am veterinary CPR certified and have experience performing CPR on canines and felines. I also have completed other programs in the veterinary field including my Fear Free Certification in small animals and exotics as well as The AAFP's Cat Friendly Practice program. I have quit my full time job in order to assist my grandmother who is recovering from surgery and cancer which leaves me with a very open schedule I am not currently equipped to house animals in my home as I have my own mini zoo (lol). While my fiancé stays home to care for my kiddos I can help take care of yours in the comfort of your own home from check in visits, walks, and/or overnight stays in your home.

About: I have been taking care of animals for most of my life. I treat any animal like they are a member of the family. They will get plenty of attention I only work part time from home so I am free to give your fur baby all the loves they need. My Great Dane loves all animals and will be happy for compaionship I have a fenced yard and plenty of land for your pets exercise. Dogs allowed on furniture and bed potty breaks every 2 hours. No children in the home.

About: Hi, my name is Cat. I've been a lifelong Dog Mom and animal lover. I love how pets all have their own unique personalities. I know firsthand how much joy that they bring to our lives. I definitely consider mine to be part of the family. I have a Shiba Inu named Amaya who's 13. I'm comfortable with any breed/ages of dogs. I am competent in Puppy and Senior care. I can administer meds and reinforce training. I love taking long walks and engaging in play. I make organic dog treats for my pup and she loves them. I'll bring the treats. I'm looking to do this full-time. If you do something you love you'll never work a day in your life. I know as a working Mom how hard it is to find quality care for our dogs. I'm available M-F for all services and I'm available on the weekends to do at home care. So relax, book that vacation. I've got you. I was a Pet Sitter for my neighbors for over 10 years when they went out of town for events. I know this can be stressful for animals. I'll check on your pups, give fresh water and food per your instructions, clean up any accidents and give them some love and quality play time.

About: I am SUCH an animal person. I have had pets my whole life, even more unique animals like hamsters, lizards, chickens, GIANT rabbits, and even a tortoise! I love dogs of any size or age. I have experience with big dogs (my precious baby was a Cane Corso at 175 pounds), and I have also had little dogs (my Stella, the 3-pounds yorkie). I took care of both of my dogs until they passed, so I also have skills and patience with senior/elderly animal care. I also dog and cat sit quite frequently in my home town. I love walking and being outside and can’t wait to meet your fur babies! I’m a college student here at Troy so I’m in town every day including the weekends! I have lunch breaks everyday and am always home in the afternoon and evenings. Please reach out if I can be of assistance! I am so excited to be able to host all Rover services! I live in an apartment with lots of different areas outside for your dog to potty/just sniff around and get some fresh air. I also have lots of cat-friendly furniture so your fur baby will feel safe, comfortable, and relaxed in my home!

About: I’m excited to apply what I’ve learned about my pets to others. Every pet has their own personality I want to get to know them. Pet car fits perfectly into my schedule as I complete college online and am home majority of the day they always have my undivided attention. I have a semi fenced yard but so much for them to run in the back. I have a fur baby of my own who loves to play, he’s gentle and sweet. He treats other dogs with respect and knows to set a boundary if they want to play or not.

About: I’ve had my dog since I was 8 and taken care of her from that age I’ve also volunteered at shelters and pet sat for many people. I’m currently not working waiting to go to college and I have always had a passion for animals and my dream is to be a vet I will treat your dogs like I would treat someone else’s children because that’s basically what they are. Dogs should receive the same respect everyone else gets

“Sophia was absolutely wonderful and responded quickly to my dog walking request. She took care of my two Large dogs and kept me up to date on all her visits. I highly recommend Sophia and would re-book her in the future.”

About: I've had pets since i was 4, and I've taken care of friends and family's pets since I was 11. I can get most pets to take their medicine and I have experience with elderly pets. I am able to pet sit every weekend and overnights. I work every weekday from 1 to 5pm. I am able to walk dogs all day on the weekends. For dog walks, I can offer treats and a length of walk that is suitable for your baby. With pet sitting in someone's home, over the weekends I can offer 24 hours with your fur baby, and on weekdays I can be with them or let them out when I am not in work.

“Thank you so much for coming in a pinch.”
