Linda was so great and easy to work with! You can tell she really loves animals immediately upon meeting her! She is very sweet and my animals liked her immediately, too (obviously a huge plus!!)! I will definitely be using her again to take care of my fur babies!

About: I am a hard working individual and a lover of all animals! I moved back to the area after graduating law school and currently work as court staff. I’ve been around pretty much every kind of animal my entire life. While I don’t consider this “professional” experience, I do consider it lived experience. I’ve had multiple dogs personally, and I’ve taken care of animals on my grandparents and parent’s farm for many years. I’ve looked after anything from goats, chickens, and ducks, to cat and dogs. The 7 years I listed as experience is more specifically the times where I’ve looked after different animals for friends and family. While I'm taking care of your pets they will be getting all the love and attention they need. I’m willing to walk with your dog and play with them as much as they can handle it. I hope to be working with you and your animals soon! I work full time during the week but I’ll be available before 8 a.m. and after 5 p.m. Monday through Friday to walk and feed your animals. Saturday and Sunday I am completely available. I try to provide a loving and safe environment for all animals to feel comfortable and looked after. Whether that’s waiting for them to approach me for pets or giving them the space they need to warm up to me!

About: I have taken care of cats and dogs of all ages since I was 12 years old. I prioritize exercise and play, so if you have an animal in need of lots of activity im your girl! I’m currently a student, but I have lots of free time available. On Mondays, Wednesdays and Fridays, I have class at 8am, 2:00pm, and 3:00pm. On Tuesday’s and Thursday’s I only have one class at 8am. I am an early riser, so I can always check in several times throughout the day. I live with 4 other pet loving roommates and one 13 year old cat who is friendly and docile. I do not have a fenced in yard but I would be delighted to visit one of auburns dog parks!

About: My entire life I’ve always had at least three dogs in my home. I love anything with four paws and I believe they all deserve love and luxury, and I would love to take care of your pets. I have experience with larger breeds such as great Danes German shepherds and pitbulls. I also have experience raising puppies and taking care of elderly dogs who need a little extra love. I am a college student and I’m looking for a little extra cash. My schedule is very flexible and I would love to work with pet owners for what works for both myself and their pets. I am more than happy to take care of pets in a clients home. I believe changing environments can be very stressful for the animals so I will do my best to accommodate in anyway I can.

About: I love dogs! I have had a dog my entire life (two black labs, one golden lab) but have moved away from home back in Boston, MA for graduate school at Auburn. I love hanging around dogs so this service is honestly more of a treat for me than the dogs who might need someone. During undergrad I dog sat for multiple dogs through friend and family connections. I am much more flexible than the average full-time worker nowadays. I am working in Auburn's athletic department while taking classes and love to study and relax next to my dogs, but I'd love to do the same with yours. As a graduate student, I have a flexible schedule that allows me to plan my coursework and athletic department responsibilities around pet care. I typically have blocks of time during the day and evening that I can dedicate to walking, feeding, and spending quality time with pets. I’m dependable, communicative, and can adjust my availability based on each pet’s specific needs. I am keen on following any instructions given. I am more than happy to help your pets exercise and get outside. I make sure pets get plenty of attention, playtime, and potty breaks. In a client’s home, I treat the space with respect and keep everything tidy. Communication is key, so I also can send updates and photos so pet parents feel confident and connected while they're away.

Ryan is wonderful and patient with my young and energetic dog Finn! Finn gets so excited when Ryan arrives for their early evening 30 minute walk adventure. Ryan is very dependable and communicates, if needed, in a timely manner. After 3 weeks of walks, I fully trust Ryan with my dog. Finn comes home very happy with his walk!

About: I have taken care of dogs since for around 5 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!

About: My parents always relied on me to take care of our dog when they would be gone for the day or go out of town. I also took care of my friends’ and families’ dogs when they were out of town. I have experience with puppies because my dog gave birth to 7 puppies when I was 13. I also have experience with giving medications. I always ensure the dogs I take care of have clean water and food before I leave. I also love to provide pictures of ur fur baby when we’re on a walk or playing. I’m working part-time which gives me time to show your dog some love, walk them, and play with them. I’m also going to school to be a vet tech. Since I am a traveling dog sitter, I won’t be caring for the dogs at my home. When I meet the owners of a dog (or dogs) I will discuss the details of the owners request for their particular dogs. I say this because many owners like their fur babies taken care of in different ways. My job is to simulate their care as much as possible.
