About: With eight years of experience as the sole care provider for dogs and a lifetime of living with them, I bring a wealth of knowledge and love to pet care! What sets me apart is my passion for working with dogs of all kinds, from energetic puppies to seasoned seniors. I have a special knack for handling unique situations, like caring for my Yorkshire terrier with diabetes, which taught me how to manage medications with love and patience. Training my border collie from a hyperactive puppy to an eight-year-old with arthritis has given me valuable experience in adapting care to meet the changing needs of dogs as they age. I'm thrilled to share my enthusiasm and experience with your pets, ensuring they receive the best care and plenty of belly rubs! I currently work part-time and have the flexibility to make my own schedule, which allows me to prioritize pet care and accommodate my clients' needs. This flexibility means I can easily work around the customer's schedule, ensuring that their pets receive the care and attention they need at the most convenient times. Whether it's daily walks or drop-in visits, I am committed to providing reliable and personalized care that fits seamlessly into my routine. When caring for pets in my client's home, safety and trust are my top priorities. During drop-in visits, I ensure that pets are in a secure environment by checking doors, gates, and any potential hazards to keep them safe. I also follow any specific instructions from the owners regarding feeding, medication, or special care routines. For dog walking, I use secure leashes and harnesses to ensure pets are safely guided during our walks. I always stay aware of our surroundings to avoid potential dangers, such as traffic or other animals, and I tailor each walk to meet the individual needs and energy levels of the dog. Building trust with both pets and their owners is important to me, and I always communicate clearly and promptly to keep everyone informed and comfortable.

About: Growing up we always had dogs in our family. My Experience in pet care is from having my own pets and caring for friends and families. I love animals and have over a decade of experience in caring for dogs, cats, horses, mules, donkey's and pigs. Now I just have my two dogs but the are like our family. I have 5 years experience caring for elderly dog (my own) that needed special care and medications. I am currently not working any other jobs at this time and will have plenty of time to spend with you sweet fur baby or babies. I have a fenced in back yard with 2 of my own fur babies. I love spending time with them in the back yard, going for walks and playing fetch. I live close to a nature trail with a lake and love to take the dogs for walks there. We love that outside time. Inside I have room to play with toys and chill with your buddies.

About: As someone who has had pets in the home for as long as I can remember, I know it is important for them to be in a loving, patient, and attentive environment and I thrive in providing environments that are such! While I’m currently a full-time college student at Samford University, during the summer months when school is not in session, I find myself having more free-time than usual to care for pets I have a large fenced in backyard and only two cats inside the home. I make sure that the pets that I care for have enough space of their own but are also attended to closely.


“Abbie is absolutely amazing! I can not thank her or sing her praises enough for how much she has helped me out with Black. She is always quick to respond and confirm a walk even if it’s last minute which really puts me at ease. She spends extra time with him and really takes care of him as if he were her own. She even spent two hours trying to remove a tick, driving him to the emergency vet and back home one afternoon. I can not thank her enough for being such a kind, reliable, awesome dog walker!! Abbie is the best!!”


About: I have had dogs my entire life, starting to seriously take care of my first dog when I was 10.

I have experience with dogs of all ages, sizes, breeds, and temperaments. I love dogs deeply and know how to work well with them.

About: I have grown up with animals my entire life. Caring for animals has been my life long ambition. I understand the importance of trusting someone to care for your fur babies. My fiancé And I love training and exercising with them every day and they push us to be the best we can be. They bring so much joy and happiness to our life. I have 5 years experience pet sitting for friends and family as well. They are the support system that told me about this app. Work from home but it’s not very demanding. Extremely flexible schedule. Pets need routines just as much as humans do for a sense of calm and safety. To continue to keep your (our) fur baby safe I will keep trash cans covered or inside a latched cabinet. Move all chemicals to high shelves or behind secure doors. Keep cords, chargers, and other potentially harmful items out of reach.
