About: I am super flexible and comfortable with dog care. I currently have an energetic young german shepherd so I understand the importance of dogs getting lots of exercise so that they can relax throughout the day. The main breeds I have experience with are Labs/Retrievers, German Shepherds, Beagles, Mixed Breed herding dogs, and Horses! I understand when dogs want to play and when they need their own space to relax. I currently have a german shepherd that I exercise twice a day either by walking, hiking, fetching or chasing hose water. Typically, I do one of these activities in the morning and one in the evening. My dog is free fed throughout the day, but I am familiar with dogs that prefer the routine of scheduled feeding or don't have self control, so I am comfortable following the routine that the dog is used to. I have a great walkable neighborhood, but I am very familiar with great places to walk and hike with dogs throughout the city. I am a grad student with lots of flexibility so my schedule is different from week to week, during the summer I will have lots of time each day to spend with your pup, but during the year I will provide excersize but less one-on-one time. I have a fenced in yard and a 1900 square foot home with hard surfaced floors. I don't allow my dogs on furniture, but if your dog is used to it, that is not currently a concern. My fences are sturdy and chain link, and about four feet tall. I prefer dogs that are crate trained overnight, and am happy to provide my own crates for them to sleep in. If they are not, I would happy to set up a play pen environment for them to be in!

About: Hello! I have grown up with so many pets in the household. I love pets and love to care for them. I have always had a passion about animals. I have went to others houses and cared for animals for more than 4 years. I have two dogs, a miniature border collie and a German Shepard, and one cat! I love all types on animals: dogs, cats, etc. and can’t wait to help you out with your fur babies! I do work but I always come home on my breaks everyday. Other than the days I work, I am normally home to care for animals. :-) I have two friendly dogs here who can keep your pup company, also I have a smaller crate and bigger crate to put dog in kennel if needed.

About: I love watching animals more than anything! Always know that your animal is loved and in great hands when I am in charge and responsible for them I am a full time student at The University of Alabama. This is my first year so I am still getting used to everything! I only have 2 classes max a day so have plenty of free time!! I know how to crate animals, as I have a puppy back home that is crate trained. If your yard is not fenced I will at all times keep your dog on a leash!!

About: I worked at a boarding facility for a while where I was responsible for feeding, watering, and walking 150+ dogs a day. I am also experienced in dog bathing, brushing, nail clipping, and brushing teeth. I currently work at the metro animal shelter and I am skilled in medicating dogs and handling puppies and senior animals. I am free to care for your pet any time of day and any day of the week and cant wait to meet your furbabies! I will have my full attention on your pet anytime I am with it, I am comfortable crating your pet before I leave if you like.

About: My passion for pets and their mental well-being started early. Since 2019, my dad and I have volunteered at animal shelters, walking dogs and house training them to help them find loving homes. Now, as a college freshman, I’m continuing my mission to give back to the community and support animals as they grow. With two dogs of my own I trained and experience raising a litter of puppies, I understand how important it is for pets to feel safe, loved, and engaged. When your pets are with me, they’ll get more than just care—they’ll enjoy fun agility activities, positive interaction, and, most importantly, safety. I am currently a fully time student, along with involved into on campus clubs and volunteers at the Hospital, but, I still make time to take care of animals at my local animal shelter. Your pet’s safety is my top priority. My home provides a secure, pet-friendly environment where your furry friend can relax, play, and feel at ease. I ensure all spaces are free from hazards, with secure fencing and locked gates for outdoor activities.

About: I had a Tibetan Terrier who lived to be 14 years old, so I've had plenty of senior pet care experience, as well as administering medications. I currently have a golden retriever who is about little over 1 year old who I got at 8 weeks so plenty of puppy experience as well. I've trained both of my dogs to do many tricks. I've never owned a cat but I've pet sit for plenty. I'm taking classes at the University of Alabama so whenver I'm not in class or taking care of my own dog, I'm free. Especially weekends, afternoons, and evening. I can take your dog on walks or if you have a fenced in yard I can go hang out with them in the backyard.

About: From a young age I was taught to care for all kinds of animals such as birds, cats, dogs, pigs, and ferrets. I can bottle feed pigs, kittens, and puppies. I work with puppies on basic training skills such as sit, paw, and lay-down. I can also bath animals and give medicine when needed. My classes start at 8:00 AM so if I need to make morning trips for animal care it would need to be around 7:00 AM I get out of class at noon and typically don't have additional activities until 5:00 PM. After that I'm available from 8:00 PM till 10:00 PM for last calls at houses. Currently I live in a dorm where I cannot have animals but when I was home with my family I took the dog out first thing in the morning for a walk/ jog. Once we are back to the house I provide breakfast and got ready for school. At lunch my mom would let the dog out to go to the rest room, around 3:00 when I got home from school I took my dog out to play or swim for 45 minutes to an hour. Around 5:00 PM we would chill on the couch while I completed homework and then we her outside for her last potty break around 9:00 and then when she comes in I comb her and get her ready for bed for the night.

“Ainsley is so great & Howie LOVES when she comes to walk him!”


“Adriana responded quickly when I checked for availability. She was timely when picking up Daisy to walk, checking food and water, and letting me know how she was doing. I didn’t have to worry that my dog was getting good care while I had to be out of town.”


“Very kind and understanding! Will use Beau services again!”


About: I’ve had my own dog for 8 years and moving away from home for college definitely made me miss him very much! I love looking after other people’s dogs and enjoy getting to know them and their habits and I love spending quality time with them. I don’t have any experience specifically training dogs but I love teaching them fun little tricks and am always excited to take on new challenges I’m currently working part-time and semi-remotely so I am very flexible on timing! I’m open to adapting to people’s needs and am always happy to move things around1 I’d always be happy to meet the pup in advance to learn more about routine, feeding, walk schedule and any medication information that is needed. I’m great at staying with a routine and know that it’s always best not to change this suddenly. I like knowing that the dog is comfortable and I’m always happy to send updates

About: Hi furbaby parents! 🐕❤️ (Due to last minute inquiries & some that were questionable, PLEASE SEE BELOW FOR 1ST TIME CLIENTS. Safety for all is important, thats why (when possible) I ask for a week notice of New Clients in order to have time for us to schedule a meet&greet for those who may have behavior or severe anxiety issues. I have an updated availability, so just let me know what you need & will try to accommodate. Please understand the safety needs these days for everyone, even on this app.🐶😊 I know having to get sitter service, drop-ins or walks scheduled for your baby can be stressful nowadays. It's also hard to know who is the best fit, until you try. Life can be busy & demanding at times, & I understand the importance of finding the right one who will take great care of your baby. 🐶♥️ I was raised in the country with several furbabies, of various sizes with my grandma who was also an absolute furbaby-lover! So it just comes natural to me. Bc to me, they are our babies, our children. I have 30+ years experience of many furbabies. Like us, they each have their own likes, dislikes, quirks & personalities. I have furkids myself (ChiChi-10yr old Beagle mix, who i raised from a pup, my Beagle pups are mths old & are in training school. My babies love everyone, but I know not everyone else's pups love the same things. I do understand how important the care for your baby is! My entire house is setup for furbabies & their individual care, with gates between many of the rooms & areas throughout the house, so if one needs a little more time to adjust to a new place, or others, it really makes it better for them all, to make them all feel safe & comfortable. I have several nap areas, toys & an entire playroom just for furbabies, with a spare room if needed. So if one wants to nap quietly & another wants to run & play, its no problem at all. *I can do boarding in my home, sitter service, stop by for drop-in visit & feed/water, potty & play, or stop by & take them for a walk. I can stop by for kitty care, but cant board Ms/Mr Kitty at my house, sorry. I work locally in healthcare & so after hours pickup/drop off is no problem. My furkids are neutered/spayed, fully vaccinated & get monthly heartworm/hookwork flea & tick prevention 💊 Prevention & good health is very important to me, as I would hope yours is taken care of that well also. They love to play, & get along Great with other furbabies! Your baby is in good hands here, & will have plenty of playtime & treats; OR if we just want to nap, we love that too! 😊 I have some small/med sized, & 1 large kennel [IF Needed] & my back yard is treated & fenced in, for supervised potty & play. I usually don't kennel, unless you prefer, so let me know YOUR preference. ✨️Message me & let me know what days/times you need - from boarding, to drop-in visit, to taking a walk, & more, just reach out to me. Lots of love to go around here. As mentioned, after hours drop-off or pickup is no problem for me, just let me know the Correct Dates/Times as I often do an alt work patterns & can work with you on that.🥰 ***FIRST TIME CLIENTS: Let's set up a quick meet & greet Prior to your baby's stay/care- especially for those "last minute needs"- emergencies happen. That way, I can get better acquainted with your baby & you, and so your baby isn't meeting me as a stranger on our first care day. This way we can both know if I can accommodate to your furbaby's needs. **We will meet in a Public/Safe place. Thanks & hope to see you & your babies soon! 🥰UPDATE: Rover makes 20% of all earnings, I can/will offer discounted or locked in rates for my Repeat clients or Regulars; I even do some private pay clients. I take care of furkids a little more "extra" than many furparents, I've been told! But to me that's a compliment! Bc between being a mom/nana, caregiver & furbaby lover, I believe in holistic care, not just meeting basic needs. I just want you & your baby to be happy to have me as your person! **In the future I plan on expanding my area & availability, with the possibility/option of private owner sitter service. Stay tuned... hope to see you soon! 🐕 🐈 🦮 🐈⬛️ Updated: I work locally & have recent changes in my schedule which gives me more availability. I also have my own precious furbabies at home, so it's not a new task. I would manage the same way I do for my own. So let me know what you need & I will get you on my calendar! And Thank you for inquiring with me. And much thanks to my current Regulars & for all the wonderful comments & reviews! I appreciate you all so much & I'm always here, so book early, as I only keep a couple babies at a time, for adequate, attentive care! I have a treated fenced in back yard for our Supervised play & potty. Update: Please ensure your furbabies are up to date on vaccines. Cameras on and within property for safety. *I thought this should go in the safety area: I'm no stranger to the area. I'm originally from Fayette County. I have family here in Northport, Coker & Tuscaloosa. So, I am a lifelong local to the area, and have a complete background attached to my profile & also have updated Government Clearance. So rest assured, your baby is safe with me.

About: I have raised various amounts of breeds my dad used to be big in the coon hunting Association so we had lots of different types of hound dogs to other types of breeds of dog. I personally owned from as small as a dachshund to as big is a pitbull boxer mix. I have experience with dogs as big as Great Danes. My dog London is on a pretty tight schedule when it comes to being fed she said twice a day and his walk throughout the day regularly. During the summer my routine is pretty relaxed but during the school year we stick to a pretty strict routine. The apartment complex I live at we have multiple pet areas that are fenced in with obstacles and running water and potty areas. My apartment complex is pretty quiet as well
