Dog Walkers in Key, AL

About: Welcome! I can’t wait to provide top-notch care for your beloved furry family members while you enjoy a well deserved vacation. With a reputation for reliability, excellent communication skills, and a deep sense of responsibility, I will ensure that your pets receive the attention and care that they deserve. I have a Bachelor’s degree in Animal Science and experience working as a veterinary assistant and kennel technician. I have just recently completed fostering two stray puppies for a local shelter. I am comfortable providing oral medications and anything else that your pet may need. My farm family consists two German shorthaired pointers, 1 indoor cat, 3 outdoor cats, a herd of 40 sheep, and 2 Great Pyrenees that protect my sheep. I have extensive experience caring for a variety of different animals and personalities. You can rest assured that your pets will be treated as if they were my own. You’re furry friends are welcome to sleep on my couches, beds, or cuddle up with one of my furry friends. However, if you’re pet prefers a crate or needs their own area to decompress, I have multiple rooms and crates in my house to accommodate their needs. You will receive daily updates and pictures of your pets. I’m committed to maintaining their routines and keeping them happy. I currently work away from home 7-3pm Monday-Thursday and 7-12pm on Fridays. I am open for boarding starting Friday afternoon through Sunday evening. I am willing to make accommodations for weekday stays as well. I have a fenced in backyard as well as a 15 acre pasture that your pet will be welcome to enjoy and explore if desired. Having 2 high energy dogs of my own, I am able to provide the additional stimulation and exercise required to keep them happy and healthy.

About: I have been rescuing since childhood. I have raised a little bit everything from dogs to reptiles to raccoons and have enjoyed them all. I now have 4 dogs and 10 acres of land with a creek and lake. I have experience to care for senior dogs as well as puppies. I can administer meds if needed. I look forward to meeting you and your pets, giving them amazing care and you peace of mind knowing they are well cared for. I am retired, so critters get all the love they want and need. I spend my extra time in my art studio that is housed in the building with my kennels. I have 3 large 5 x 10 kennels in a large private room that is heated and cooled. I have crates, 60 x 80 fenced in play area and of course the house and shop. Our critters are never left unsupervised. We also have a doggie cam to check on them at night. It is a posh vacation for all critters who visit us.

About: I have had pets since day one. I have three dogs of my own ranging in ages from 6-17. I have had all of my dogs since they were puppies and helped my dad train them. I love spending time outdoors and being active. As a full-time teacher, I am available after 4 PM on weekdays and have open availability on weekends. During school breaks (holidays and summer vacation) my schedule is much more flexible, allowing for open availability throughout the day. I strive to accommodate my clients’ needs whenever possible and am happy to discuss scheduling options to ensure the best care for your pets. I am a very respectable person, when invited to your home, your property will be treated with the upmost respect. I’m good at following directions/instructions. Your furry friend’s health and safety is my number one concern.

“Great experience with my two labs! Nicki was flexible with scheduling, kept me updated with photos and messages, and treated my dogs like family. My dogs are always excited to see her. She was reliable, communicative, and clearly cared about both dogs. The girls loved their walks and were always happy and tired afterwards. Highly recommended!”

About: I can’t remember a time in my life I haven’t had at least 4 or 5 dogs around me. My family calls me a dog whisperer. Me and dogs just.. understand each other… I think they read the “grandparent” energy I have for them! Every dog loves me because I take care of them and listen to them. I have a beautiful 5 acres and the house for them to stay in and also a 1,200 square foot air conditioned clean garage for them to play in as well as a good yard and a perfect place to walk them if anyone likes their dogs to have extra walks. I’d love to take care of your babies for any reason! I’m pretty flexible so just let me know what you have in mind. I’m available all day every day pick up or drop off. Anytime any day. Dog boarding and grooming and training is what I do and no one does it better! I care for all animals as if they were my own babies. Animals have this pure energy that comes from them and we just understand each other. I love playing with and being around the animals and they love to be around me the same way. I make sure to be careful about leaving dogs unattended I always assure safety first. But a close second to safety is freedom. They love feeling free. And I offer them that safely.

“Came over last minute to walk my dogs when my other babysitter fell through. I was so grateful and she did such a great job!”

About: I’m a compassionate animal lover dedicated to the well-being of our furry friends! I take pride in being able to bring you and your pet comfort and convenience. I’m currently working at my mothers shop and will be doing rover on the side, I can and will work 7 days a week 24 hours a day.

About: I was raised in an animal shelter, one that my father was the director of for more than a decade. As I grew into my teenage years, I began pet sitting for family friends. As I grew into a young adult, I continued sitting and working as a veterinary assistant. I’ve been a full time veterinary assistant at one of Rome’s top veterinary clinics for almost 5 years now. I am constantly training, handling, and observing pets. My top interests are behavior and training. I’ve taken care of the small animals including dogs and cats, but also farm animals. I believe that providing stimulation and enrichment is a powerful tool for high drive breeds. I am very well educated on breed specific needs. I also have some experience with farm animals (chickens, goats, etc). My services include: training, midday walks, daily check ins, and overnight stays. I’ve been expanding my clientele, and would love for your fur family to join my pack! I am a full time veterinary assistant with an allotted hour for lunch. This hour varies based on my schedule. If your pets are out of range for me to travel during my lunch, a second check in can be arranged later in the evening. My hours range from 7a-6p during the weekdays. I have Thursdays and have Sundays off. Instructions provided by owners are strictly followed. Details of how they are cared for in your home depends on the service chosen by owner. Communication is key between owner and sitter! Meetings are usually scheduled before a booking begins.

About: I've worked with several Bully breeds and a few cattle dogs Puppies ,with leash walking , basics like sit,stay, "name" and heel , I help with "in home" routines to help get control of your doggos as well ! I'm available in the evenings or if we have an appointment scheduled ahead of time I do client training as well . I have 2 other jobs, I'm a touring musician, and the other is a local part time gig I'm very patient and very watchful of dogs under my care never letting them out of my sight I'd rather hang with a bunch of dogs any day than pretty much anybody else

“Garrison was great with my Winnie! He was prompt, a good communicator, and she took to him right away!”

About: Professional, Empathic Petcare 🥰🐾 From an Expert who worked with veterinarians for 3 years and has been grooming dogs for 11 years (that's me ❤️) and special interest in holistic medicine and nutrition. My petsitting and grooming focuses on the health and emotional well-being of your baby. They'll be having a fun vacation in my home or have their fun pet nanny come to them🥰 🐾 Pet care fits into my daily schedule very well, as I make my own hours, leaving me more time to prioritize your fur baby 🥰 They'll be staying in my comfortable, 2 bed 1 bath home on 1/2 acre with fenced in backyard. Not to be left unattended in the yard since it is made from garden fencing, and small dogs unable to climb fencing is preferred. Fence climbing dogs should not come here because there is a fast road adjacent to the slower road that I live on. When I leave to run errands I will sequester my cats in another room from the dogs. I go with the flow, and understand every animal will behave differently so please let me know if your baby has any special needs or habits!
