Pet Boarding in Northport

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: I’ve been caring for dogs as long as I can remember. They were always my best friends and so loving. It just came natural to care for them. I give plenty of time for play, walks, and fun with your fur baby. I only work a few hours a day. I am available most weekends as well. I have a great neighborhood to take walks. The dog park is close by as well and easily accessible. Our family loves dogs so there would be lots of hugs and attention!

“They we’re great! I highly recommend booking with them. They are a sweet loving family and made my dog super comfortable and happy while we were away. She sent me update photos of my pup everyday and told me how he was doing. Also they are very flexible for last minute bookings!!!”

About: I’ve taken care of pets since I was a kid. Not only did my neighbors and friends entrust me with their fur babies, but I also grew up surrounded by animals, learning the responsibilities and joys of pet care firsthand. Over the years, I've developed a deep understanding of different species' needs, from feeding and grooming to administering medications and providing companionship. Whether it's dogs, cats, or more exotic animals, I approach every pet with the same love, patience, and attention to detail. My experience has not only made me a reliable caregiver but also a true animal lover, always eager to ensure that every pet feels safe, loved, and well-cared for. As a college student, pet care is an important part of my daily routine. I make sure to prioritize my pet’s needs alongside my studies and other commitments. In the mornings, I take time to feed and walk my dog before heading to class, and I make sure to set aside time between lectures for quick check-ins or play sessions. On busy days, I arrange my schedule so that I can either rely on a trusted friend or pet sitter or make sure my pet has everything they need, like food, water, and toys, to keep them comfortable while I’m away. In the evenings, after my coursework or study sessions, I spend quality time with my pet, whether that’s going for a walk or just relaxing together. I’ve learned to balance school and pet care by staying organized and making sure my pet's needs are always met, even during the busiest weeks. Living in an apartment, I make sure to create a pet-friendly environment that keeps both my own pets and any clients’ pets safe, comfortable, and happy. For my own pets, I ensure they have enough space to move around, with designated areas for eating, playing, and resting. I also make the most of the apartment’s layout by using pet-friendly furniture, toys, and scratch pads to keep them engaged. Since apartment living often means limited outdoor space, I prioritize regular walks and playtime at nearby parks or open areas. For my clients, I adapt my approach based on the pet’s specific needs. If I’m pet-sitting or providing care at their home, I follow their usual routine as closely as possible—whether it’s feeding, administering medication, or playing. I also make sure to pet-proof the space, ensuring there’s nothing harmful or dangerous within reach. For dogs, I take them for regular walks and provide enrichment through play and mental stimulation. For cats and other small pets, I ensure their litter boxes are clean, food and water are fresh, and that they have plenty of space to roam or rest. Overall, whether in my apartment or a client's home, I focus on maintaining a consistent routine and providing personalized care to ensure pets feel secure and content.

About: I've cared for so many different animals my whole life. I love playing with them and getting to know their personalities. Every pet I watch gets treated like another family member. I work from home so I am available to your pet all hours of the day. When I leave the house, I keep them in a safe environment and make sure they are content and happy. I have a big yard and neighborhood where I can walk your pet throughout the day. Let me know any special requests you have for your pet. I am very accommodating and want what's best for your pets to feel like he/ she is at home.

About: I have been a dogsitter for 3 years, am looking to continue this service. I love all animals, and will treat them as my own. I’m currently working and am mostly free on weekends, but have time during the week to dog-sit as well. My schedule is a little different week to week, so I am very flexible. I have a huge fenced area where I can take your dog on walks and to play, but I also don’t mind taking your dog to the park as well.

“He made sure to check with me about all her needs, and follwed the instructions perfectly. My pup absolutely loved him, she had a blast. He also sent me pictures and check ups on her for her whole stay, which I greatly appreciated!”

“She is the best. My dog loved her and came home to me relaxed and not stressed. Can’t say enough. She communicated and was very responsive”

“Julie did an amazing job taking care of my kitty! I needed someone on really short notice to take him for over a week and I was really nervous giving him to someone I didn’t know. My expectations were beyond exceeded. I got multiple pictures a day and didn’t have a single worry while I was away. I will definitely be booking again in the future!!”

“We had to evacuate due to Hurricane Ida. Our dog was confused as to what was going on, as this was her first log road trip. We found April while in Tuscaloosa and I can't say enough good things about the experience our dog had. She made our pup feel like she was part of her house. On pickup, we had a tail wagging, well adjusted pup who thought she just came off vacation. I cannot recommend April enough.”

About: I've been training small puppies with basic dog commands and crate training since 2014. I started my petting-sitting services in Berkeley, California. I love to walk, feed, bathe, and love puppies. I recently bought a house in Reform, Alabama, and I welcome my fur friends to join my Havanese AKC Woody Ivy and me. I'm currently in my Ph.D. program at The University of Alabama. I mostly attend classes twice a week while I am on campus. On the days I am not attending class, I am at home spending quality time with my puppy, gardening, and doing fun things around my house. I believe in constantly transitioning and supervising my puppy, offering different activities day and night. We have a routine that starts at 6 am. He goes potty and has the liberty to sniff trees or go back to sleep. He eats breakfast at 7 am, goes for a walk at 8 am and 6 pm CT (4 pm CST), plays until nap at 11a, lunch/snack at 1p, plays with toys until he is ready to play fetch, and is obedient training outside, and then we people watch on our porch (which he loves to do) while I read. We do everything together! And when the night is young, he goes to bed inside his crate, next to my bed, at 9 (ish) to rest up for another day of play.

About: Friends and family members have often relied on me to watch their beloved pets. I enjoy taking dogs on walks and going to the park to play. I live next to a trail that makes for a great long walk. I’m also in town on all holidays and my schedule is flexible! Weekdays I am available in the am and after 4 . Weekends I am completely free and flexible. All holidays I’ll be around as well I have a sweet Australian shepherd who loves other dogs and Ioves playing with them . My yard is large . I can also crate if needed

About: I have had dogs since I can remember, I love all animals and I have never met one I couldn't get along with! I have 3 dogs right now that i love more than anything so I understand the need to have your pets in good hands for peace of mind and I promise they will be in good hands with me! I am a college student with this as my primary source of income so I can be there for you and your pets whenever you need! I know how to calm and take care of all types of pets and am perfectly willing to take care of anything from your fish to your great Dane! Tell me where to be when and I'll spoil your pets as long as they need!

About: It all started with my neighbors chickens. I have experience caring for birds, reptiles, cats, and dogs for 8 years. Animals need more than food, water, and walks... they need someone to be a friend who cares for their safety and wellbeing while their owner is away. Luckily, I am pretty good at making friends and would love to be friends with your pet! I am a college student looking for things to do between classes. I spend a great amount of time with my dog at home and have flexibility everyday to run errands and have downtime. I also frequent the dog park. I primarily care for pets that stay at the clients' homes. However, I have cared for dogs in my home and am open to it (I have a mini bernedoodle that stays with me).

About: I have recent experience taking care of new Havanese puppies and I had a Shih Tzu for 12 years while growing up and I love taking walks by the nearby trails and having a furry friend would be an amazing addition. I am a registered dietitian at the University of Alabama. I work until around 5 Monday-Friday and then after work I get a workout in if I haven’t already in the morning. After work would be the best time to walk or take care of dogs. On the weekends I am open to talk care of your furry friends. I live in an apartment on my own in a small neighborhood in Northport where there are lots of sidewalks and a dog park where they can play.

“Portia is always very welcoming to our pups and flexible with the hours of drop-off and pickup. My pups love her and always have a great time with her.”

About: I have had animals my whole life. I love all animals and would love to help out :) I have no allergies and I am comfortable with most pets!! I am currently working part-time but have the flexibility to go when I am needed! I am open in the mornings and the late afternoon for longer periods. I can easily crate your dog in your home, take them on walks, and even take them in my car. I can bathe them if necessary as well!

“Took great care of my dog.”

About: I’ve been caring for animals, my whole life from growing up with two loyal German shepherds and a cat, to helping families in my neighborhood with everything from daily walks and play dates to feedings, vet visits, and grooming appointments. I built strong bonds of pets and their people by being dependable, attentive, and treating every animal like family. Whether it’s a quick drop in or full-time care, I’m here to make your pet feel safe, happy, and loved. Pet care fits seamlessly into my routine because I work from home with a very flexible schedule. This allows me to be available whenever you need whether it’s weekdays, weekends, or during vacation time. I’m able to adjust my day around your pets needs, offering reliable care and attention at a moments notice. Whether it’s a last-minute drop in or a regular walking schedule, I’m here to help you make your life (and your pet’s!) a little easier. Whether I’m caring for your pets in my home or yours, their safety and comfort are my top priorities. I create a calm, clean, and secure environment where pets can feel at ease. I don’t have any pets my own, so you’re furry friend gets my full attention and I only occasionally foster, with full transparency. when I’m in a client’s home, I treat it with the same respect and care I with my own, following all instructions and routine routines to keep your pet happy and stress-free.
