Dog Walking Irondale

“Frankie goes above and beyond when carrying for my fur babies. I was out of town when Frankie came to care for my dogs and not only were my dogs completely taken care of, but Frankie also made sure my house was secured after each visit. I was always well informed of my dogs care and needs after each house visit / dog walk. Frankie followed all of my directions completely and even applied hotshot spray to my dogs backs because of their seasonal allergies. While I was away on travel, I had absolutely no worries about my fur babies! Frankie will always be my number 1 choice for dog walking and house visits!”

About: Hi! I’m Danielle. I’ve been taking care of animals for most of my life and have been pet-sitting for about 17 years. I also grew up on a farm, so being around animals has always just been part of my day-to-day life. I’ve worked long-term with a family who has four senior beagles (one is blind), so I’m very comfortable with medications, routines, and dogs that need a little extra patience and care. Your dog will stay in my home and be treated like part of the family. I have a large fenced yard where they can run and play, plus a covered area for shade when it’s hot (which, realistically, is often). I also live about a mile from a dog park if your dog enjoys getting out and exploring. I try to keep things as close to your dog’s normal routine as possible—whether that’s lots of playtime or just a calm place to relax. Every dog is different, and I adjust to what they need. I’ll keep you updated while you’re away, and you can trust that your dog is safe, cared for, and getting plenty of attention. I work a typical Monday–Friday 9–5 schedule, but I’m able to stop by during the day for potty breaks, medications, and check-ins. Before and after work, your pet will get plenty of attention, time outside, and interaction. Weekends are more flexible, so I’m able to spend more extended time with pets in my care. Every other weekend, my 5-year-old is with me—she’s grown up around animals and is very gentle and comfortable with them. My home is very pet-friendly and pretty relaxed. Dogs are welcome on furniture if that’s what they’re used to, and I try to keep their routine as close to home as possible. I have a large fenced yard where dogs can run and play, plus a covered area for shade when it’s hot. I keep a close eye on pets when they’re outside and make sure they’re always safe and comfortable.

About: As a loving and dedicated pet sitter, parent, advocate & guardian, I bring a wealth of experience, dedication, and genuine love for animals to every pet I care for. I have had the pleasure of caring for and training a variety of pets, from playful puppies and kittens to senior dogs and cats with special needs. My passion for animals drives me to provide the best care possible, ensuring your pets feel loved and secure while you're away. Every pet is unique, and I tailor my care to meet their individual needs; whether it's a hike in the woods or cuddles on the couch, following their specific feeding schedule, administering medication, or engaging in their favorite playtime activities. For training, my approach is rooted in positive reinforcement, ensuring that your furry friend learns in a supportive and nurturing environment. Whether it's basic obedience, advanced tricks, or behavior modification, I am dedicated to helping your dog become a well-mannered and happy companion. For day care & visits at your home, you can count on me to be punctual, reliable, and trustworthy. I provide regular updates and photos, so you can have peace of mind knowing your pets are happy and well-cared for. For overnight guests, my goal is to provide a home away from home for your four-legged children, where they can thrive and enjoy their time while you're away. I look forward to meeting you and your furry friends! Feel free to reach out with any questions or to schedule a meet-and-greet. I am available for both drop-in visits and overnight pet guests at any time, ensuring your pets receive the care and attention they need while you're away.

“Tatiana is amazing! Zeus is in love. He recognizes her car and runs to the door to greet her, excited for his walk. She tires him out enough for him to settle down so I can work without having a bored puppy underfoot. Will request her again.”

About: As someone who grew up on a farm, I have experience caring for a variety of animals. I also volunteered in a vet clinic so I am comfortable with administering medications if needed. I work as a full time in-home social worker but my schedule is flexible. My days consist of driving around town so if I need to stop by your home midday, that’s an option. I can also flex my work hours which would allow me to stop by in the mornings or evenings as well. I’m often fully available on weekends. I live in a medium sized home with a lot of open space for play. I do not own a crate, but I do have a large spare bathroom and this is where my own rescue pets have stayed after surgeries or while adjusting to their new home. There are several barn/sliding doors in my home which allow me to section it off and allow more space/privacy as needed. I also have a fenced in backyard and live near a nature preserve so there is ample space for roaming and play.

I am comfortable administering medications, including injections. **Depending on your needs, I may not be able to provide constant care on Wednesday nights, as I have an 2.5hr evening class, but this is my only other commitment I am self-employed, so my schedule is extremely flexible and I am avaliable for constant care for an additional rate. Most of my exercise comes from walking dogs, so I am more than happy to take the long route if your pooch is up for it! I am very careful with your pets, avoiding encounters with unfamiliar dogs or people to avoid conflicts. My food is never within reach, and I pride myself on keeping your home clean and ready for your return.

About: Having grown up with animals most my life…I pride myself in the ability to comfort and love your furry friend… Even from a distance. My special skills, are soft skills… Meaning that I work best with slow warm-ups for any anxious pets. But also, I’m ready for any high energy animals as well. I go to school, and work during the weekdays… But have a giant break in the middle of the day, for any pet care. Weekends work best for me. Making sure to adapt to whatever the pet owner, and pet need. Whether that means space, or extra attention… I can be that in-between person you request. I also pride myself on attention to detail… So will notice any change in behavior, or care necessary.

“Catherine was responsive and quick to pick up my last minute booking. Bode absolutely loved her visit. Thank you so much for helping us out! Will be rebooking!!”

About: I’ve been around and loved dogs quite literally all 27 years of my life. From a teacup Chihuahua to a Rottweiler/German Shepherd mix, I have owned and loved dogs of all shapes and sizes. I truly believe they are man’s best friend and should be treated as such! My living situation does not allow for pets at this time, so I am happy to interact with pets as much as I can.

About: I’ve been around cats and dogs my entire life and have always enjoyed caring for animals. I regularly pet sit my friend Josh’s three cats when he’s away, making sure they’re fed, comfortable, and receiving plenty of attention. I also frequently care for my girlfriend’s dog, so I’m experienced with the day-to-day responsibilities that come with caring for dogs. Growing up with multiple cats and dogs has taught me how important patience, consistency, and attention to each pet’s individual personality can be. I understand that every animal has different routines and comfort levels, and I take the time to make sure they feel safe and relaxed. When your pet is in my care, my priority is providing a safe, comfortable, and welcoming environment where they can feel at home.

About: From a young age, I’ve had a deep connection with animals, understanding their needs and respecting their unique personalities. My earliest memories include befriending all kinds of creatures, which taught me that every living being deserves care and compassion. As your pet sitter, I bring this lifelong love and respect to ensure your fur baby is not only well-cared for but also truly comfortable and happy. With years of experience in pet sitting for both dogs and cats, I understand how important it is for your pet to feel at ease in your absence. You can rest assured that your beloved companion will receive attentive, loving care in a safe environment. I am committed to providing the best possible experience for your pet, leaving them as happy and content as when you left them in my care. Pet care fits into my routine seamlessly because I have the flexibility to set my own hours with my cleaning business. This allows me to dedicate specific times to ensure each pet receives the care and attention they need, whether it’s feeding, exercise, or playtime. In caring for pets, I prioritize safety, trust, and a comfortable environment. Building trust is crucial, so I get to know each pet’s routines and preferences, keeping owners updated. I ensure a welcoming environment in the client’s home by maintaining clean and comfortable spaces, and providing tailored care to meet each pet’s needs—whether it’s exercise and play for dogs or cozy spots and enrichment for cats.
