Dog Walking in Lourdes, Mobile, AL

About: My household has always had a furry friend in it since the day I was born from small ankle biters like Chihuahuas to hefty cuties like my current Bully Pit that I can safely wrestle in some horseplay. Puppies, seniors, we don't discriminate 'round here! I don't mind getting my hands dirty and have small experience in clicker training younger pups along with an energy to match whichever personality I'm given. A boundless Collie? We can play all day! A sleepy old Bassett? We can chill with some TV. I'm not above being put to work either. Give me a litter box to clean. Give me medicine and I'll make sure it's getting swallowed. Toss a cat my way as well why doncha? I worked as a cat caretaker during my fall and spring semesters in Auburn University, as well as own a lovely kitten named Autumn, so having a feline to shake things up would be a nice treat! Trust me, my hands have a good pain tolerance. Beyond that, I know it costs major bucks to look after your pets. Or pay someone ELSE too. Sometimes a week stay for a pet can run up to $500! That's why you come to me. I offer affordable rates because I'm more concerned with the passion than the money. I have multiple pets of my own and I know the chip they can put in my wallet just from vet visits! So I won't let it get in your way! 🤠 I've graduated happily from Auburn University with a degree in Animal Sciences and am settling into a new job. This means that while I'm happy to take on new clients, my schedule is sporadic as it's determined on a weekly basis. It also means I will be gone for many hours at a time. My current work schedule and thus how long I'd be busy for Aug 11-17 is: Mon: Free Tue: 4-9:30 pm Wed: 5-9:30 pm Thurs: 5-9:30 pm Fri: 3-9:30 pm Sat: 4-9:30 pm Sun: Free Safety is a non-negotiable when it comes to our furry friends. Just like I do with my own pals, I stay by them at all times when outside and encourage their attention with toys or loving scritches when they're not doing their business. If push comes to shove, I am capable of safely wrestling an overzealous dog into calming down or tightening the 'ol leash if need be. With cats, responsibly scruffing rarely fails. Inside, unless stated otherwise where they're allowed to park themselves, I stay with my little friends on the floor and can crate them if specified to do so when it's bedtime. If they're free roamers, I let them tag along where I go! Except the kitchen. I also welcome animals who require daily or periodic medication. Bear in mind I charge $10 per day of administering medication, and it would cover all required meds for that day. Rest assured your friend will be taken care of!

“Victoria was so sweet and attentive with my dogs! She made sure they got more than just a walk with lots of cuddles and playtime. She’s great about sending pictures and a good summary! Will definitely use again. Thank you!!”

About: Growing up on a farm meant loving and caring for all animals. As an adult, I have had animals on the smaller side including rabbits, dogs, and cats. I often pet sit for family, friends, and neighbors when they need a helping hand. I genuinely believe in creating a safe and caring environment for these beautiful creatures. I work from home and get to decide my schedule. This allows me to schedule as many drop-ins and walks, or board your fur babies. For a drop-in or walk I will ensure your pet is provided care and love. I am happy to collect mail and water plants if needed. For boarding your canine friends, I offer a cozy and loving home. I have my own medium sized dog that is a sweetie and loves other animals. I also own two cats that are used to dogs but I can also separate them if needed since they have their own room to escape to.

“Amelia did a great job! Will use her again!”

“I gave Deanna a key to my place to walk my dog. She walked her for an hour, dropped her off and left the key. My dog seems like really life her. She was on time and everything was so smooth.”

About: I have worked in the pet industry for almost 8 years and have enjoyed every single minute of it! At my current position, I have been working directly with dogs for 5+ years and plan to work with dogs for years to come! I am currently working part time(mon-fri after 4pm), so that leaves plenty of time during your work day for me to visit with your pet! For morning/afternoon visits, I can drop in any time before 4pm(latest drop in 3:15p), so I would be perfect for those lunch time pick-me-ups that pets love! If you work night shift and need a late night drop in, I'm your choice! I am available all week after 8pm(earliest pm drop in would be 8:15pm) for walks, potty breaks, or late night snacks! I am confident in my leash walking skills and care abilities. I am also well versed in containment and different types of behavior styles in dogs. Whether they are grumpy or happy-go-lucky, I am confident in my ability to provide excellent care.

About: I have always had dogs growing up so I learned pretty early how to care for them. I was always in charge of walking them. I am currently in college so I have most of my days free to take care of your pets. My weekends are almost always free. I have no issue following any care instructions you have for your pets. I currently live with a dog that requires lots of specialized care

About: I have many pets at home (10 to be exact) and they are the best part of each day. I would love to get to know yours as well! I just took a break from college, so I have a lot of free time. I am still available on weekends but not full time because of work. Weekdays are totally free! My main goal is to make your pets feel safe and comfortable with me. I will do what’s needed to make them feel as though they can trust me.

About: Throughout my whole life, I have been surrounded by dogs and cats in the household. I’ve also had reptiles, so I have a well-rounded experience with taking care of many animals. I’ve taken many babysitting jobs from people I know, and am very good at following the specific instructions given. I have also assisted my dog while she had given birth. I’m a full time student, my average day schedule start around 9 and ends around 1. In the afternoons, nights, and weekends i am free. I live in a gated community, and have a house with 4 other animal loving roommates. My floors are wood, so any possible messes are easy to clean. They are free to roam around the house and in my room, but if given specific instructions I can also keep them in my room while taking care of them. I have room for a crate as well.

“Kaleigh was great. She was there each time we requested and took our fur baby for her walks. She was a great communicator. I will use her again!!”

“Jordan was a pleasure to work with! She sent us updates on the walks and when i get back home my fur baby was his same happy self. Thank you for caring for him! Will definitely use again in the future!”

About: I've raised several puppies into adulthood throughout my life and I have experience in dog sitting that I have done for friends and family through the years. I'm currently searching for a new career, so I have plenty of time to take care of animals. I'm looking forward to a new experience! I have a fenced yard, and two small dogs to keep your pets company. I can also crate dogs if necessary! I have one big dog that stays in the back yard and in his crate.

About: I'm new to pet sitting but have taken care of my furry friend a few times and really liked it. I’m calm, responsible, and make sure pets feel safe and comfortable while their owners are away. I'm home most of the time, so I have a very open schedule. I can give pets lots of attention, playtime, and care throughout the day. At my home, visiting dogs have their own space away from my dog. I have two cats who are used to dogs, too. Since our yard isn’t fenced, dogs will be on a leash whenever we’re outside. I make sure every pet feels safe, comfortable, and well cared for while they’re here.

About: I’ve always lived in a household with dogs for my entire life, ranging from a chow chow to a husky mix to a cat and hamster. I I always felt that I had a special connection with animals and feel as if they really are another child in a family. I would take upmost responsibility in caring for whatever animal I’m charged with, since I would want someone to do the same with my own animals. I would make sure your pet will feel as loved and cared for as possible, as if they were mine. Animals really are a mans best friend, and they deserve to be treated as such. You don’t have to worry about leaving your animals with me, they will be in responsible and loving hands!! I'm currently an independent artist, so I have lots of time in between projects to check on and or stay with your pet. I love the art that I do, but it keeps me in the house a lot, and having a job that allows me to get out of the house and care for an animal sounds not only rewarding, but helpful on my end as well! I'll want to ensure any needs the animals may have - aka any allergies or triggers that would need to be avoided. I'll also want to know any house rules that the dogs need to follow and that I need to follow as well. Some folks are more lax than others, it all depends on the client.
