Dog Walkers in Irondale, AL

“Sarah has been walking my dog and 3 different foster dogs over the last (almost) year and I would be completely lost without her. It’s hard to find someone who is experienced with a strong & reactive dog that I can trust. She’s experienced in reactive dogs, is patient, and incredibly flexible with all the different dogs and scenarios and my lack of memory that I have thrown at her. She also follows any training I’m working on at the time in order to remain consistent to our dog. I can’t recommend her enough and my dog(s) are obsessed with her.”

I can do cat visits (once a day) on Fri, Sat, Sun, and Mondays. I live in 3b/2b house with my 2 dogs who are highly socialized and trained. There is a small dog park at my house for exercise and many walking locations near by.

“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’m a dependable and flexible person who is big on spatial and social awareness when taking care of any animal inside or outside of a home. I do work full time, but am hybrid so I am often working from home and have some flexibility. I walk multiple times a day and would love to include your fur baby on those walks too! I live in the crestwood/mountain brook area and have access to many safe areas to walk. I always allow pets to approach me first in any circumstance to promote a feeling of safety and building trust. I am incredibly active and looking to adopt a dog in the next year or so, but would love to help your fur babies in the time being.

About: I’m Jessica! Sitter and caregiver to your pets! I also do short term fostering and am a cat kennel assistant volunteer at the Greater Birmingham Humane Society. My husband and I have two dogs, Maki (Brindle Belgian Malinois mix) & Turbo (American Staffordshire Terrier/Black Lab mix) who are sweet, goofy, smart babies. Totally spoiled! Many of the pet pics are with my husband, Joe, bc I never get good ones of myself apparently ha. Not only did I grow up in a pet loving family that allowed me to get to know and love many different breeds and types of fur babies, but I have been trusted to pet sit by friends, neighbors, and relatives many many times over the years. Several of the photos up are of foster pups and of some I’ve rescued. Some of my skills include potty training, social training, aggression correction with puppies, recognizing early illness symptoms and care. I’m trained to watch, recommend and act when medical treatment is needed. I also have experience administering oral, topical, and injectable medications with dogs and cats. I live in a neighborhood perfect for walking your pup. I also enjoy hiking the trails at ruffner mountain. I offer cuddles and companionship for the pup or kitty that prefers laps and affection over walks or hikes. I don’t mind sitting at my home or yours. I stay home and have a very flexible schedule. This allows me to give a lot of attention to your pet and accommodate most plans! Respect to pets in their home is always given on my part. It’s your pets home and they should always feel safe! I will listen to the guidelines you give me and do my absolute best to be a trusted safe space person to your pet. I’ll spend as much time as your pet needs! I have a fenced back yard and two friendly pups that love to play. I also have indoor crates for mine and guests to be safely separated.

About: Growing up I had experience with a lot of types of animals, from cats, dogs, sheep, pigs, cows and horses. In my adult life, I have had a lab mix and have had 4 boxers (3 currently still in the home) and a siamese mixed cat. I learned a lot about dog behavior when I got my first boxer through training, and feel like that has helped me with other dogs too. Two of my current boxers are seniors and they take meds so I am familiar with those types of things and my other one is 8 months old so I am currently also in the puppy phases as well. I do have a full-time job. Evenings and weekends are the best time for me on some days. I often work from home later in the week so I can be flexible those days. I am definitely open to chatting about options. I will keep my calendar up to date based on my availability. If your pups are coming to my house, I have a fenced in yard. I do have a pool, but I go outside with all pups for safety reasons. If your dog loves to swim let me know! I also have a quiet neighborhood for a nice leashed walk. I do have a lot of stairs so if you have a senior dog that has mobility issues my house might not be the best option. If they go out on a leash this would be less of an issue b/c I can take them for a walk out front. I crate my puppy when I am gone, and can crate your dog when/if you would like me too. I would like any special instructions about medications/food/behavior etc that are specific to your pets. I would need any specific instructions for your in home stays with your pets.

About: I’m a work-from-home librarian who absolutely loves spending time with dogs and cats alike. I grew up with dogs of all sizes up to 100 pounds, and currently have a cat myself who is my best friend! I have had a golden retriever, a soft coated wheaten terrier, and a Schnoodle, and my cat is a Siberian. I love working with pets on their training goals, playing and exercising with them during the day, and making sure that they get as much love and attention as possible from their pet sitters and walkers while their owners are away. I’m also comfortable working with pets with special needs who may need additional service or medication, as well as families with multiple pets. I can’t wait to meet you and your pets!

About: I have been a pet owner my entire life. My parents had cats from when I was born until the present. I had my first dog at 12 years old and am currently raising a beautiful Lab mix I have had since a puppy. She is very well trained and is in great shape. She may be 11 but still acts like she is 3. I love playing with all sizes of cats and dogs and have no trouble with the overly excited or really big(I have helped a friend raise Great Danes). Even really shy dogs warm up to me quite quickly. Cats are also very fond of me, and you would be surprised how quick a new cat will let me rub its belly. I really look forward to taking care of your special furry friend!
