Dog Sitting in Opelika

About: I have extensive experience in both animal welfare and veterinary clinic settings, giving me a strong foundation in pet care, behavior, and health. I’m comfortable with dogs and cats of all sizes, ages, and temperaments, from high-energy puppies to seniors and pets needing extra patience or structure. I also graduated from Auburn in 2017 with a degree in animal sciences Through my work, I’ve gained hands-on experience with safe handling, administering medications (oral, transdermal, subcutaneous and intramuscular injections, etc), recognizing signs of stress or illness, and supporting pets in new or unfamiliar environments. I’m calm, reliable, and very detail-oriented, and I take pride in keeping pets safe, comfortable, and on their normal routine while you’re away. I have a flexible schedule and work from home full time that allows me to prioritize pet care throughout the day. I’m available for drop-ins and walks, and I can accommodate morning, midday, and evening routines with boarding animals. I’m happy to adjust to your pet’s normal schedule to keep things consistent and low-stress. With my background in animal welfare and veterinary clinics, safety is always my top priority. I’m experienced in reading body language, handling pets safely, and recognizing early signs of stress or illness. In your home and mine, I make sure routines are followed closely and your pet stays comfortable in their environment. I’m respectful of your space, detail-oriented, and always prioritize clear communication so you feel confident while you’re away.

About: I would love to take care of your fur babies. I am also a college athlete so I can play and run around with your dogs outside. I am just a student so the only thing that I would have each day would be class. I have made my schedule to where I do not have a lot of classes each day and my classes end early. I do not have my family dog with me so I will treat every animal that I sit like my own. I am very energetic so I will make sure the dogs that I sit will get the exercise they need.

About: I’ve grown up with two dogs and have lived with both a small and a big dog. I’ve dog sat for my neighbors growing up. I’ve watch all kinds of dogs and have no problems with watching more than one dog in a household. I also have experience with both young and old dogs, so I know the different attentions each type needs. I am currently taking a summer class at Auburn University and I would love to spend my time watching a dog when not in my class. Over the summer I will be in Auburn taking one class at 8am on Mondays, Wednesdays, and Fridays. Outside of that I will be free to watch dogs. I’ve had two dogs growing up, one was always super active and loved walks the other loved belly rubs and staying in doors. I’m good with either type of dog. I’ve also dog sat for many different breeds of dogs so I’m good with all types.

“Friendly, professional, and punctual. I highly recommend Abigail for anyone looking for pet care in the Auburn area.”

About: Our entire family loves to care for animals! I personally have been a responsible pet sitter for over 25 years. While we currently are a pet free home, we have been thankful to have owned and cared for a black lab, yorkie poo (lived until 15), two German Shepards (currently guard dogs in Haiti), rabbits and many goats. While your pet is with me you will receive multiple updates and feel secure in the fact that they are being loved and taken care of just as you would! I would love the privilege to care for your beloved dog while you are away! I am a stay at home homeschool mom and have the ability to care for your animal all day. It is so fun to incorporate dog walks and playtime with your animals in my daily schedule. I can easily crate your fur baby, or they can sleep in a comfy dog bed. We have a large yard, with a small portion fenced. Since we are a homeschool family, we spend a lot of time out doors and I love to take dogs for walks and let them join us outside if that is what your fur baby enjoys. If you need help with drop in services at your own home, I can arrange those services to meet your dogs needs.

“Amazing pet sitter! Sends pics of my babies and makes me feel so at peace with leaving my babies when I go out of town. Cannot recommend enough!”

“Kyndall is very caring and is detailed oriented. She did a great job of dropping in, exercising and feeding our two dogs. Definitely recommend and will use again.”

About: I have taken care of dogs since for around 8 years. I started before I could drive and I would walk over to my neighbors house and feed/ play with their dogs while they were out of town. I have still continued to dog sit every once in a while when I am needed. I am a college student at Auburn University. I am also from Opelika so everyone that I have been dog sitting for in high school, I am still able to help out today. My schedule for next semester is very open and not too busy. I am also available over summer as well. I do have a goldendoodle at my parents house. She is 5 years old and loves playing with other dogs. I also have a car so I will be able to come to my clients house to take care their furry friends for as long as I am needed. Currently I live in a townhouse and would love to take care of your pets here!

“Laura was so great! She came over beforehand to meet my pup and make sure I was super comfortable. She left a detailed comment and great pics! Laura was also very good at communicating.”

“I was out of town for the holidays and needed someone to walk and feed my dog and I’m so glad Alexxia was available. He was nervous but she was patient with him and got him a treat to warm up to her.I would definitely recommended her as a sitter! 🤗”

“She was absolutely great! Even when my dog was being a stubborn boy, she was so nice and made me feel like my babies were getting the best care while I was away :) Thank you so much!”

“She did great with my dogs! Every visit I would receive pictures of them. My mind was at ease while I was on my trip which made it so much more enjoyable. If your like me and dont like to leave your fur babies in a kennel then this is the perfect option. They were safe and comfortable at home with multiple daily visits.”

“Taylor was awesome. She took great care of our cat, Leonard, while we were out of town. She was communicative and sent great pictures. I will absolutely ask her to take care of our pets again in the future.”

About: I’ve had experience with dogs since I was 8 starting with my first ever dog Cupcake. Since then I have taken care of dogs of all sizes for neighbors and friends. I am very good with senior dogs, and energetic puppies alike! I love to learn how each dog’s personality shines. I am currently taking online college courses for the summer. My classes being online gives me a lot of flexibility in my schedule, so I am willing to work out times with people on an individual basis! I take a lot of care to be respectful of people’s homes when caring for their animals. I fulfill each task the pet needs with care and give each pet the time and attention they need.

“Adrianna was wonderful with Little Kitty! Normally shy, Little Kitty took to Adrianna and let her pet and brush her, her favorites! I really loved the daily updates and photos. This was our first experience with Rover.com and it couldn’t have been better! I enjoyed getting to meet Adrianna before our trip and was impressed with her warmth and genuine interest in all kinds of animals. I will definitely rebook with Adrianna again!”

About: I’m a life long animal lover and have had the opportunity to care for my friends, family, and neighbor’s pets for years whether it was daily check-ins or caring for them while owners were away. I personally can’t remember a time in my life when I didn’t have a pet of my own and would love the opportunity to care for yours. I currently work from home with the flexibility for long walks, play time, and lots of cuddles. There really isn’t a day or time I couldn’t be available. I have a fenced in yard, a great neighborhood for walks, two pet loving kids and a sweet dog of my own to provide your fur baby companionship during their stay.

“Emily was a great sitter for our boy! We were out of town during the 4th of July and all the fireworks, as well as some strong storms. She was so reassuring that Hudson was doing well, and it was so comforting for us.”

“Lee was wonderful with our large German Shepherd. They made sure he was well taken care of and loved on while we were away. We definitely recommend Lee as a great caretaker for your pets!”

About: I’ve always loved animals and originally wanted to become a veterinarian growing up. Now, as a pre-nursing student at AU, I still love having the opportunity to care for others — especially animals. I grew up with a childhood dog that I was completely inseparable from. Even when I was little, I helped feed her, walk her, play with her, and even helped with training. Those experiences are a huge part of why I love pet care so much today. My family now has two dogs that we got while I was in high school, and I love visiting them every chance I get. I’m definitely the type of person who immediately gravitates toward the dog at any social gathering. I’ve been pet sitting and dog walking for friends, family, and neighbors since I was around 10 years old, and even more frequently once I started driving at 16. I’m very attentive to each pet’s individual needs, whether that means going on runs with high-energy dogs or taking slower walks and giving extra comfort and attention to more relaxed pets. My goal is always to make pets feel safe, happy, and so loved while their owners are away. I also worked on a ranch last summer where I cared for dogs, cats, horses, donkeys, chickens, and ducks, which gave me even more hands-on experience with a wide variety of animals and personalities. Although I didn’t grow up with cats, I’ve done plenty of cat sitting over the years and absolutely love them as well. I know every cat is different, and I’m always patient and attentive to their routines and comfort level. Pet care fits very naturally into my daily routine. I work a 9–5 job during the week, but I have an hour lunch break that gives me flexibility for walks, check-ins, or midday care. I also usually go on a run in the mornings and take walks after work or after dinner, so I’m very used to staying active and would love bringing a dog along if they enjoy extra exercise. On weekends, I’m available all day and have a much more flexible schedule for walks, drop-ins, playtime, or overnight care. I live in a two-level apartment/townhouse with plenty of space for pets to be comfortable and move around. There’s grass right outside for easy bathroom breaks and walks, plus a balcony and a dog park within my apartment complex for extra exercise and playtime. I keep a clean, safe, and calm environment and always make sure pets are supervised, comfortable, and sticking to their normal routines as much as possible. When caring for pets in a client’s home, I’m very respectful of both the home and the pet’s routine. I know consistency is important for animals, so I always try to keep them comfortable by following feeding schedules, walk routines, and any specific instructions closely.

“Alexia took good care of our cats and sent the most thoughtful updates to us each day. We greatly appreciated having the peace of mind that they were being well taken care of.”
