House Sitting in Lake View

“Marilyn did an amazing job taking care of our 3 pups while we were away on our honeymoon. She went above and beyond to make sure our pups and home were taken care of and I can’t recommend her enough for anyone who’s looking for an excellent dog sitter. If it were possible to give 6 stars I would. 100% recommended!”

About: I’ve taken care of every kind of dog since I was around the age of 9. I’ve also been trusted by many family and friends to take care of their pets. I would love to care for your pet like my own! I’m a stay at home mom, so i’m free any day of any week to keep your animals! I have plenty of time to play with your pets! I have a okay sized yard for your pet to run and play, I can create if needed. I’m more than happy to travel to you to care for them!

About: I have been taking care of my friends and families animals since I was a child. I currently have a 7 year old male Shiba Inu that I’ve raised from 9 weeks old. He’s very friendly, and potty trained. He gets tons of love all the time, along with our male 5 year old Staffordshire Pitbull Terrier named Skipper. I will be more than happy to take care of and play with your animals/babies. I keep the dogs on a close leash to me when walking. I would prefer a harness if they are not leash trained, to avoid tugging or pulling. I always keep a couple plastic bags handy for picking up poop when needed. I graduated in 2022 with a bachelors degree in Biochemistry from the University of North Florida. I am currently a full time veterinary technician at Avondale Animal Hospital and I am more than happy to help out. I keep my dogs on a daily schedule so I understand the need for routine. Currently just moved to the area and learning my way around, I’d be happy to fit you in. I prefer visits at the client’s home to ensure safety of the pet and to make sure they are not stressed from a new place.

About: I have worked at an animal clinic for 10 years. I started out working in the kennels taking care of the animals boarding. I worked my way up to now assisting in surgeries and treatments. I also do some grooming like nail trims, anal glands, all over cuts, and baths. I can administer any medications needed. I am currently working on shifting my schedule into being a stay at home mom so I am available all throughout the week and the weekends. I have a fenced in yard with 2 playful pups of my own. I also live in a subdivision so any pup that needs a nice long walk I can do!

About: My pitt-boxer has been my best friend since I was in the 10th grade. I love dogs of all breeds and sizes and am excited to get to know your sweet pups! (I like the old fellas too!) trusting your dogs safety and wellbeing to me will definitely ease some of the stress of leaving your babies for extended time! I work an 8-4 during the week but have all weekends off! I love furry friends of all types and seek to make your life easier when finding someone to care for yours! I have 2 cats that live in my apartment who are no stranger to other animals, and have a childhood dog who stays with my parents so he’ll have a big open yard to play in. I do live in an apartment so sadly I’m not suited to board the bigger guys. Your wish is my command, just let me know how to best accommodate your pets! Detailed lists are some of my favorite to follow to ensure that I am providing your pets with the best quality care possible.

“Bernadette was fantastic! She saved us from a last minute cancellation from our regular dog sitter and did amazing. She stayed took great care of our big girl and left our house super clean. She kept us updated with text and photos. We will 100% be using Bernadette again in the future.”

About: I’ve taken care of neighborhood dogs of all shapes and sizes for 9+ years! I keep active dogs playing and active and will cuddle with your cuddle bug! I’m currently a student at UA with a very flexible schedule that allows me to be available short notice and often! I work as a Certified Nursing Assistant outside of my class schedule. I will ensure pet safety in all measures possible, actively communicate with you and send photos if you miss your pets! I cater to each pet as they are their own individuals.

About: I've taken care of animals my entire life growing up on a farm twice now, I worked at a vet as well and was personal all day/over night pet sitter for over a year, I've rescued several animals recently and taken them to get life saving medical care and gotten them properly adopted, I come from a very animal loving family and hope to open my own boarding/ rescue and adoption clinic one day along with a pet cafe I'm usually always available, if I'm not available it's once in a very rare occasion, I have a very flexible schedule accommodating for any customer scheduling needs or last minute bookings I live on a small farm without a fenced yard but I have a massive half shaded fenced section of it I used to let my German shepherd stay in while I was away since he had anxiety about being in doors being a high energy dog, he passed recently so the space is open now, with a kitty pool that can be removed if needed, perfect for outside play time grooming or just chilling out, I do have 2 cats inside my home that mean the world to me so please keep that in mind, they work amazing with smaller dogs and did with my german shepherd but im unsure about larger dogs other then that so if your uncomfortable with them around cats the inside of the pen outside as mentioned before is shaded and has a tarp over part of the walls like a large dog house. As for going to the clients house I'm very good with timed medicated or specifically dieted animals, and animals of all kinds, just make me little list of things there allowed to do and not allowed to do I don't accidentally reward bad behavior or tell them no to going on the furniture or something that there usually allowed to do, I don't mind staying in a clients house over night but I will get my husband or my sister to stay with me for my own safety and depending on the booking there can be extra fees for it, I don't mind cameras being all over just none in the bathroom ofc and none where I'll be sleeping over night ofc, I'm good at taking animals out on walks to and pet grooming

About: What sets me apart is my genuine love for dogs and hands-on experience with all ages—from playful puppies to senior dogs needing extra care. I’m patient, attentive, and great at reading dog behavior. I’ve helped with basic training, administered medications, and created calm, structured routines that keep dogs happy and stress-free. Your dog isn’t just being watched—they’re being cared for like family. Pet care is naturally woven into my daily routine. I plan my day around feeding times, walks, play sessions, and rest, making sure each dog feels safe, seen, and engaged. Whether it’s early morning potty breaks or winding down with calm evening routines, I’m consistent and dependable. Your pet becomes part of my rhythm, not just a task on my list. In my home, I create a safe, clean, and welcoming environment where pets can relax and feel at home. I stick to their familiar routines—feeding schedules, potty breaks, walks, playtime, and rest—while giving them plenty of love and attention. I keep a close eye on behavior, ensuring they’re comfortable and adjusting well.

About: I have owned two dogs, a cat, and a few fish back home in California. I have had experience with clipping nails, giving fluids, cleaning litter boxes, and the such. I am a medical student and have extra time throughout this semester! I have been missing having a pet of my own, so being able to take care of your precious animal would mean so much to me! I have an apartment of my own, there are several open green spaces that allow for dogs to play and use the restroom. I do not currently have any pets so any animal I board would have my full attention.

About: I've been caring for animals since I was 10 years old, and my passion has only grown stronger over the years. Currently, I share my home with two small rescue dogs and a senior dog, giving me firsthand experience in managing diverse needs—from energetic pups to more mature companions. What sets me apart is my deep understanding of rescue dog behaviors and senior pet care. I approach each pet with patience and empathy, ensuring they feel safe and loved. Whether it's maintaining a consistent routine, administering medications, or providing gentle companionship, I tailor my care to meet the individual needs of each animal. I also offer in-home pet visits, allowing your pet to remain in the comfort of their own environment. This minimizes stress and anxiety, as they can stick to their regular routines and stay surrounded by familiar sights, sounds, and smells . Whether it's a quick drop-in or a longer visit, I ensure your pet receives the attention and care they deserve while you're away. With a fenced yard and a heart full of love, your pet will feel right at home. I'm committed to offering the highest standard of care, treating your pet as if they were my own. As a dedicated pet sitter with a swing shift schedule, I understand the importance of flexibility and clear communication in providing exceptional care for your pets. My work hours vary between 8-hour morning and evening shifts, allowing me to offer a range of pet care services that fit seamlessly into your pet's routine. I prioritize open communication with clients to ensure that your pet's needs are met without compromise. By discussing schedules in advance, I can accommodate your pet's care requirements, whether it's during the day, evening, or weekend. This flexibility ensures that your pet receives consistent attention and care, even when your schedule changes. Whether it's a midday walk, evening playtime, or weekend companionship, I'm here to provide the care your pet deserves. Let's work together to create a schedule that keeps your pet happy and well-cared-for! In-Home Visits: During my visits, I focus on maintaining your pet's daily schedule to minimize stress. This includes feeding, administering medications if needed, and providing companionship. I also ensure that your home remains secure by locking doors and windows and adhering to any specific instructions you provide. Dog Walking: For dog walks, I prioritize safety and enjoyment. I use appropriate leashes and harnesses, choose routes that suit your dog's energy level, and ensure they have time to explore and relieve themselves. Post-walk, I clean up after your dog and offer fresh water to keep them hydrated. I am committed to clear communication and will discuss my schedule with you to ensure it aligns with your pet's needs. Your pet's well-being and comfort are my top priorities, and I aim to provide care that feels like a trusted friend is looking after them.

About: I’ve been working with Pawms Pet Resort for almost 5 years. I manage the daycare, which has an average of 50 ish big dogs at a time; and I’ve bathed, fed, or walked every breed of dog you can think of. Walking, bathing and loving pets is all I know! I also can medicate them if your pups are sick. I have over 1000 hours of experience and you will have absolutely nothing to worry about. I give the best work possible for better prices than all of the big businesses around town. I have unconditional love for standard pets of all shapes and sizes. I’ve broken up plenty of dog fights and been bitten, but it doesn’t bother me anymore. If worse comes to worst I also know CPR for dogs. I am a kennel technician at the Pawms Pet Resort in Avondale and taking care of, bathing, feeding and making them feel loved is what I do for a living. I just moved out, however we had a Boston terrier and a beagle; and we would play with them in our fenced backyard or take them on walks around the block. I now live next to highland park and I also work at a doggy daycare.

“This was the first time we used Kathleen. She did a great job. It gave us peace of mind while we were visiting our son and daughter. To be at the birth of our first grandson. Thank you, Kathleen.”

About: I have been training and taking care of dogs and cats since I was little. I love playing and caring for all types of my four legged friends. I am currently attending the University of Alabama, so my schedule is very flexible and open to all types of schedules! My schedule is completely open in summer. Please reach out for any questions! I have a big yard with two friendly outdoor labs. I also live on the lake if your dog likes to swim. Indoors, I have two cats that do not mind dogs or other cats.

About: My love for animals manifested in the third grade and ever since the love was never lost. I recently worked at the Birmingham Zoo in which I worked with a plethora of exotic animals mainly being giraffes and lorikeets. As well as a Pet Daycare and Boarding facility where I worked full time! In my free time I figured this is something I’d really enjoy! I am currently working nights, 3 12hr shifts, but any days I’m not scheduled I would love to take on any jobs and provide the best care I can. Since I have worked at a dog daycare and boarding facility I have a good amount of knowledge on how to read their behavior and what’s good and bad for dogs. I also have a good bit of training on getting them in and out of crates, and properly applying harnesses. I will also ensure anything of toxicity is always out of their reach.
