About: I’ve had dogs my entire life and provide patient, attentive care focused on routines, communication, exercise, cuddles, and keeping your dog happy, safe, and comfortable. I work as a restaurant manager, with availability mornings, afternoons, and some evenings. I also have two full days off for flexible, all-day pet care. I follow each pet’s routine, provide fresh food and water, walks or playtime, litter or potty care, medications if needed, and plenty of attention daily.

About: I’ve been a teacher/artist for 25 years. I enjoy walking dogs and consider it the best way to exercise! During school breaks and summer I am 100% available to love on your pet! During the school year I can walk/visit before and after school hours and again before bedtime. I love animals but I’m too scared to get attached to one of my own so I’ve come here to help others take care of theirs. As an artist, most of my commissions are pet portraits and it absolutely feeds my soul...they are definitely members of the family and not just pets. I would love the opportunity to help with your pet to keep from having to board them at a vet...no fear of kennel cough from me! Just send me a message with your requests and we will work something out. Before school, after school and in the evening I am available I follow your instructions for care to the letter. I talk to your animals like they are little people and treat them like they are mine.

About: Hi there! I have taken care of many different animals throughout the years. I focus on individualized care and clear communication with pet parents. I’m patient, attentive, and careful with feeding, medications, and routines. I always prioritize safety, comfort, and consistency. I treat every pet as if they are my own! I work 12-hour shifts but only about 14 days out of the month, which gives me plenty of availability on my days off. I schedule pet care thoughtfully so every pet receives reliable, attentive care without feeling rushed. I follow each pet’s routine closely whether caring for them in my home or in a client’s home. I prioritize feeding schedules, exercise, enrichment, and safety while providing plenty of affection and calm companionship.

About: I’ve taken care of dogs since I was eight years old. 14 years later, I am still doing just that, except this time to support myself in college. I also have 2+ years of experience with Wag! and have walked over 70 dogs. I walk dogs every other day and play with them in my school’s lawn. As long as I’m done with my school assignments, I’m happy to play with your pup! I will always keep the dog on the leash unless otherwise indicated. I take extra caution to see that they don’t eat anything off the street.

About: I have over a year of experience caring for dogs of all sizes and temperaments, from playful, high-energy pups to gentle senior dogs. I previously worked for a small dog walking business in the Birmingham area, where I provided both daily walks and drop-in visits. During walks, I made sure each pup was safe, happy, and exercised. I understand every dog has a unique personality and routine, and I always tailor my care to make sure they feel comfortable and loved. As a college student, I am able to fit pet care into my weekly routine at times most sitters can’t. I’m able to do morning and midday walks and drop-ins, and I will work with my clients to find the best times for their pup’s needs. I provide care in my client’s homes to keep pets comfortable in their own environment. During walks, I make sure the dogs get a balance between exercise and safety. For drop in visits, I handle feeding, potty breaks, and playtime to make sure each pet keeps their normal routine.

About: I've cared fpr animals since my first pet found me at 5 years old. I've mostly owned cats so walking dogs lets me balance my time out with the pups. I'd love to check in on or take your dog for a stroll. I currently have a very flexible schedule and prefer to walk during daylight hours. I am.an early riser and can swing by after my morning run to take your pup for a stroll or drop by at lunch to make sure they have midday attention. I choose safe waking routes that ensure your pet will get a good, safe walk in without fear of traffic. I care for your dog as if they were my own.

About: I know how stressful it can be to choose someone to care for your pets, and I’ve totally been there. I have two small dogs myself, and I hate leaving them behind. My goal is to give you peace of mind, knowing your pets are safe, happy, and loved while you’re away. I’ve cared for animals my whole life, from cats, and dogs, to even an abandoned deer for two days. I’d love to be your best friend’s new best friend! Currently, I’m a stay at home dog mom. I take my boys to the Red Mountain or Vestavia Hills Dog Park almost everyday, and they couldn’t be happier! Whether your pet stays with me or I come to you, they’ll be cared for just like my own. In my home, they’ll enjoy our fully fenced, backyard, walks, playtime, and plenty of snuggles. In your home, I’ll stick to their routine so they feel happy, safe, and loved
