Pet Sitting & Drop Ins in Irvington, Mobile, AL

About: I've cared for puppies, senior dogs, heart worm positive dogs, escape artists, professional nappers, mouthy labs, big mountain dogs, small spaniels, dogs with a daily grooming need and dogs prone to needing bathed. I love dogs of all kinds and will follow care instructions to the T to ensure any dogs I watch are safe, loved, and given the best to maintain their health. I work part time and have a flexible schedule - even on my busiest days our six pups aren't locked up for more than 5 hours. My husband and I joke that one of our hobbies is dogs. With our large backyard, our dogs get about an hour or more in the morning, midday, and again in the evening to play, sniff, and lounge outside - not to mention any additional potty trips or sniff breaks they ask for throughout the day! We have a large fenced in backyard with a playset, outdoor furniture, and a kiddie pool set up for the dogs to use. Dogs are allowed on the furniture and bed, and we have a spare bedroom we turned into a dog lounge space. We have crates to keep our younger or more mischevious dogs safe when we leave the house and have additional crates for medium and large sized dogs that come stay with us. We can also set up your own dog(s) crate(s) in a separate room if your dog needs a quieter environment. We do have 6 dogs that range in size from 50-75 pounds - they loved cuddles, chasing each other around the yard, and stealing our spot when we leave the couch. None are toy or crate/bed posessive and we separate the dogs while the eat so the speedy eaters aren't tempted to steal the others food!

“Atrisha was absolutely the best! She went above and beyond. We had never left the dogs with anyone before other than family. She was so wonderful to the dogs. They were comfortable with her. We were comfortable with her. She gave us complete peace of mind so we were able to enjoy our trip.”

“This was my first experience using rover. I was worried as I was out of the country for a week. However, Maegan exceeded my expectations. She was great with communication and updates. I knew my cat was in good hands and I didn’t have to worry. I will definitely be using her in the future. Thanks again!”

About: Big dog lovers and would love to help you with your sitting needs from overnight care in my home or yours, daily dog walking services, and daily check in’s. I'm currently working part-time, so I have plenty of time and flexibility to watch your doggies. I can do drop-in visits, dog walking, overnight care in my home, house-sitting, or daily daycare. I am able to drop in to walk, feed, and play with your pet during the early mornings and evenings. Typically available everyday of the week.

“Great sitters! Our dogs aren’t easy to work with, but glad they got along so well! Would love to work with again”

About: I have had pets my whole life. Love all kinds. I have house sitted for a week recently with 2 dogs. Young or old, they'll be safe in my care. I have plenty of time. Work is slow and not stable. Hoping adding this to the list would supply an extra source of income but I clean for homeaglow and that's usually a couple hrs a day for maybe 2/3 days a week. I help a friend with his landscape business but everything I do is flexible and I would work around your schedules.. While in their home they would do what they normally are used to and as for mine, I would make them comfortable and safe as possible. Crate them if needed...

“London was great. I worked the entire week of Thanksgiving and she was there to help every single day. She was punctual and very respectful, but most importantly was Daisy. She is a little standoffish but warmed up to London faster than anybody I’ve seen. That was worth it all. Definitely recommend her.”

About: I’ve raised and been around dogs my entire life. I can train minor skills to puppies along with potty training. I also have experience administering medicine to even the most stubborn of dogs. I fully aim to make sure your babies are left healthy, fed and enriched. I’m fully available day or night. I’m also willing to spend extra time for slower dogs or for dogs who have more energy than most. I’ll wrestle em. I love dogs more than people most of the time. I understand that no two dogs are the same and they all come with different sets of needs. I personally have an ACD and Newfoundland, I can handle just about anything. I love the giant teddy bears and tiny terrors all the same! I’m willing to play, cuddle, and just love your babies like they’re my own dogs.

About: Hi! I'm an animal lover with 2 years of pet sitting experience, along with all necessary certifications working with animals. All I need is a chance to express that I can be a patient, sensitive, and reliable pet caregiver. I currently have full time availability to pet sit your pet(s)! Please reach out ahead of time for upcoming holidays. My goal is to become a full time pet sitter w my own pet sitting business. *Indoors in my home I can assure that any harmful items will not be in sight, I don't have children nor do I have pets of my own at the moment, and I'm pretty neat. Front and patio door remains closed and locked unless going out with the pet. There is central cooling, of course there's going to be playtime indoors and outdoors, and soon I can provide extra pet supplies, but do feel free to bring your own. *Indoors in your home will be the same and I will apply your preferred schedule/routine while you're away! I believe in respecting other people's home, so if I make a mess, I'm cleaning up after myself! Also security of the home is important to me, so I do prefer to be knowledgeable of your home security system if you have one. Outdoors/ In Vehicle Leashes will be used as it is required by local guidelines, I prefer to take your pet out early mornings or evenings (7:00p.m) for potty time, but if you request them to be taken out a time of day where the sun is scorching hot, I will keep the out time very short. Feeding bowls or trays will be brought in my vehicle once I purchase another one, so your pet(s) can have nutrition on the go too!

With my compassion and patience learned from my social work experience, I will treat your pet with respect and kindness. I am great at following directions and giving full time attention to pets. I am very outgoing and get excited when I see dogs and cats. I always ask to pet peoples' dogs when they walk by. Overall, I enjoy petting, walking, and running around with dogs. I will provide attentive and kind care to your pet. With a puppy and two cats myself, I am used to regularly feeding them, petting them, and running around the yard while playing fetch with my puppy. I get along with strangers' pets very well and usually connect with animals quickly. I always keep an eye on my pets and never forget about them. I am constantly petting them or laying next to them if I am not actively playing with them.

I have two little dogs and a cat to keep your pets company and they are very mild tempered aside from my female dog who loves to bark a lot lol! Her bark is bigger than her bite as they say.

About: I grew up on a ranch in Montana, we had dogs, cats, chickens, cows, basically our own petting zoo. I love animals and I believe they deserve love and attention. I’d be happy to provide that for your pets! Reach out regarding schedule. I can be relatively flexible with check ins 2-3 times per day.

“We are very thankful to Michael for taking care of our not 1, not 2, but 5 pups!!! 3 of the 5 are complete wildlings but he patiently handled them with grace. He is very easy to work with in scheduling. Michael even showed up for a meet & greet and spent quite a while learning the most he could about our babies so he would be prepared to take care of them when needed. We look forward to building the relationship & being able to count on him to help us when we have plans that cause us to be away from them. Thank you Michael!!!”
