Dog Walking Mertz

About: I have experience in a wide variety of animal care including cats, dogs, birds, fish, reptiles, small animals (guinea pigs, hamsters, hedgehogs, and sugar gliders) horses and goats. I am skilled in dispensing oral medications as well as subcutaneous fluids and medications. I also have experience volunteering in animal rescue and animal education groups. I currently work full time at a law firm downtown. If you are located in the Midtown or Downtown areas, I am able to provide services early morning, midday and evening Monday thru Friday. I can service other locations morning and afternoon Monday thru Friday. Weekends I can provide services anytime. I do not provide care in my home as I have my own pets who sometimes do not play well with strangers. I can provide inhome care at the client's home. I can stay overnite or not depending on your pet's needs. I try to stay as close to the pets normal schedule as possible for feeding, walking, and playtime to avoid putting more stress on them while you are away.

About: I’ve been dog sitting for the past 5 years and have experience caring for dogs of all sizes, personalities, needs, and routines. I truly love being around animals and always make sure my number one priority is that every dog I care for feels comfortable, safe, and loved while their owner is away. I am more than happy to follow each pet’s normal routine, whether that includes walks, feeding, playtime, or just lots of attention and company. I know leaving your dog with someone else can be stressful, so I want owners to feel confident and at ease while they’re away. Pet care fits easily into my schedule, and I make sure to set aside plenty of time for walks, feeding, playtime, and attention. I’m also flexible and happy to work with each owner’s schedule and their dog’s normal routine. I always follow the owner’s instructions closely and take the time to learn each dog’s routine, personality, and individual needs. I make sure dogs are supervised and given plenty of attention, and I’m respectful of each client’s home and any specific rules they have for their pet.

About: I grew up having a cat as my family pet. I’ve also dog sat for work friends and I genuinely love it. I’m young so I have a lot of energy to play with your pet. I’m a licensed realtor in Alabama so I make my own schedule and can work from anywhere so I’m very adaptable. I can work Monday-Saturday after 10am. I live in a house with a large backyard so your pet has plenty of space to play. I also currently do not have a pet of my own so your pet will get my full attention which increases safety.

About: I had a Cocker-Spaniel for 12 years with my wife and just recently got my first puppy last year. Now I am addicted, we have since adopted one and fostered many. My sister is a drug rep for veterinary clinics and I do computer work for a few of them. I have lots of contacts in the field if ever there was an emergency. I work from home most of the time, and usually here all day and night, other than for store runs, or occasional working in office. I have an unfenced yard but live in a great area for walking dogs on leash, there is a park across the street we can run in and play fetch. I have 2 dogs, Charley and Winnie, Charley is a big puppy that loves all other dogs, he is 75 pounds of play, Winnie is more of the mother dog but only weighs 17 pounds, she puts Charley in his place though. They are up to dates on shots and preventative medicines and both are fixed.

About: I worked as a kennel technician, veterinary assistant, and grew up in a home with small, medium, and large animals. some furry and some had scales! I am currently not working as I recently moved to this area and I am excited for an opportunity to take care of someone’s baby! I like to be able to adjust to the pets needs. I have a very flexible schedule so being able to attend to a pets strict schedule is very important to me!

“Callie is INCREDIBLE. My dog has issues trusting people but warmed up to Callie right away. Sitting next to her and wanting to be held before I even left for my trip. I can’t tell anyone how great it was to truly enjoy my vacation as I received numerous photos and videos throughout the day of Lady being spoiled and loved on by someone who was clearly called to do this. I have already booked Callie for the rest of my trips through 2022, and hope that I never have to find another sitter. Thank you Callie, you will be seeing Lady very soon!”
