Dog Walkers in Saint Elmo, AL

About: My household has always had a furry friend in it since the day I was born from small ankle biters like Chihuahuas to hefty cuties like my current Bully Pit that I can safely wrestle in some horseplay. Puppies, seniors, we don't discriminate 'round here! I don't mind getting my hands dirty and have small experience in clicker training younger pups along with an energy to match whichever personality I'm given. A boundless Collie? We can play all day! A sleepy old Bassett? We can chill with some TV. I'm not above being put to work either. Give me a litter box to clean. Give me medicine and I'll make sure it's getting swallowed. Toss a cat my way as well why doncha? I worked as a cat caretaker during my fall and spring semesters in Auburn University, as well as own a lovely kitten named Autumn, so having a feline to shake things up would be a nice treat! Trust me, my hands have a good pain tolerance. Beyond that, I know it costs major bucks to look after your pets. Or pay someone ELSE too. Sometimes a week stay for a pet can run up to $500! That's why you come to me. I offer affordable rates because I'm more concerned with the passion than the money. I have multiple pets of my own and I know the chip they can put in my wallet just from vet visits! So I won't let it get in your way! 🤠 I've graduated happily from Auburn University with a degree in Animal Sciences and am settling into a new job. This means that while I'm happy to take on new clients, my schedule is sporadic as it's determined on a weekly basis. It also means I will be gone for many hours at a time. My current work schedule and thus how long I'd be busy for Aug 11-17 is: Mon: Free Tue: 4-9:30 pm Wed: 5-9:30 pm Thurs: 5-9:30 pm Fri: 3-9:30 pm Sat: 4-9:30 pm Sun: Free Safety is a non-negotiable when it comes to our furry friends. Just like I do with my own pals, I stay by them at all times when outside and encourage their attention with toys or loving scritches when they're not doing their business. If push comes to shove, I am capable of safely wrestling an overzealous dog into calming down or tightening the 'ol leash if need be. With cats, responsibly scruffing rarely fails. Inside, unless stated otherwise where they're allowed to park themselves, I stay with my little friends on the floor and can crate them if specified to do so when it's bedtime. If they're free roamers, I let them tag along where I go! Except the kitchen. I also welcome animals who require daily or periodic medication. Bear in mind I charge $10 per day of administering medication, and it would cover all required meds for that day. Rest assured your friend will be taken care of!

“Victoria was so sweet and attentive with my dogs! She made sure they got more than just a walk with lots of cuddles and playtime. She’s great about sending pictures and a good summary! Will definitely use again. Thank you!!”

“This was my first time using Rover and it was a great experience. Charsy is such a nice and sweet person. Our dog looked so happy after the walks. She always kept me updated and made the experience to be a 10/10. She treated our dog so good and with a lot of kindness.”

About: Growing up on a farm meant loving and caring for all animals. As an adult, I have had animals on the smaller side including rabbits, dogs, and cats. I often pet sit for family, friends, and neighbors when they need a helping hand. I genuinely believe in creating a safe and caring environment for these beautiful creatures. I work from home and get to decide my schedule. This allows me to schedule as many drop-ins and walks, or board your fur babies. For a drop-in or walk I will ensure your pet is provided care and love. I am happy to collect mail and water plants if needed. For boarding your canine friends, I offer a cozy and loving home. I have my own medium sized dog that is a sweetie and loves other animals. I also own two cats that are used to dogs but I can also separate them if needed since they have their own room to escape to.

“I gave Deanna a key to my place to walk my dog. She walked her for an hour, dropped her off and left the key. My dog seems like really life her. She was on time and everything was so smooth.”

About: I have been a genuine animal lover my entire life! Since I was young I was quick to bond with any animal, no matter how ornery they were. For years, I have been the trusted sitter for my family's, friend's, and coworker's furry friends. My main passion in sitting is giving your fur babies all the love, companionship, and structure they need to keep their stress down and stay on routine. I also have a passion for animal photography, so there is a good chance you will be left with a cute little memento to welcome you back home. I'm excited and look forward to watching your tail-wagging sidekicks! I strive to be available for your pet whenever I am needed! I'm passionate about keeping your pets on routine as much as I can, and am willing to adapt my schedule as much as possible to achieve that. My experience revolves around pet sitting in the client's homes. I'm a "by the book" personality, so I will follow all pet care instructions to the tee. So I will care for your pets in the exact same way that you care for your pets.

About: I have over 30 years of experience taking care of a variety of animals including: dogs, cats, horses, cows, goats, sheep, pigs, snakes, fish, hamsters, and guinea pigs. I have raised animals from birth up until their assent to heaven. I work for Uber, so I have a very flexible schedule that will allow me to fit your needs. I have two dogs myself, and while they come first, I have plenty of time and love to give. I am a very clean and trustworthy person and your animal family member will always be in a safe and loving environment. I want every animal to get their exercise, so if that's a walk or just playing I will make sure they do so in the most fun way possible.

About: I have worked in the pet industry for almost 8 years and have enjoyed every single minute of it! At my current position, I have been working directly with dogs for 5+ years and plan to work with dogs for years to come! I am currently working part time(mon-fri after 4pm), so that leaves plenty of time during your work day for me to visit with your pet! For morning/afternoon visits, I can drop in any time before 4pm(latest drop in 3:15p), so I would be perfect for those lunch time pick-me-ups that pets love! If you work night shift and need a late night drop in, I'm your choice! I am available all week after 8pm(earliest pm drop in would be 8:15pm) for walks, potty breaks, or late night snacks! I am confident in my leash walking skills and care abilities. I am also well versed in containment and different types of behavior styles in dogs. Whether they are grumpy or happy-go-lucky, I am confident in my ability to provide excellent care.

About: I have many pets at home (10 to be exact) and they are the best part of each day. I would love to get to know yours as well! I just took a break from college, so I have a lot of free time. I am still available on weekends but not full time because of work. Weekdays are totally free! My main goal is to make your pets feel safe and comfortable with me. I will do what’s needed to make them feel as though they can trust me.

“Atrisha was great! She came to visit the "boys" the same day I contacted her, and she was very accommodating when I asked her to come back on the same day. I will be requesting her services again.”

About: I have had dogs, sometimes multiple ones, all my life. I am an animal lover, and advocate, of all kinds of animals. I just lost my Maltese of 13 years old which traveled the world with me literally. I was only away from him for two nights his whole life, and that was bc he spent the night at the vets one night, and I spent the night at the hospital one night. He went everywhere with me. From restaurants to Walmart. If I went he went. I have no children, so he was my child. I will treat your baby with the same love, and care. I have a newly build house with an acre that is fenced in. So, if your dog is large and likes to run outside, it can. I also have a screened in back porch. You baby will be safe and loved in my home. I am retired and spend most of my time at home. So your dog will be supervised, as per hour request. I am flexible and will listen to the owners request, as much as possible. I have a fenced in acre of land. I also have a screen in back porch. If you have small dogs, they can run freely, and I would stay outside to watch them. If you have large dogs they can stay out all they want. Dogs love me! They know if you are of good character, or not.

“Very nice and good with communication.”

About: I have taken care of dogs since I was 11, I have also worked at a veterinarian clinic and have experience with giving medication, bathing, feeding, and caring for dogs of all kind! I only work part time, so I am available almost all days out of the week! I can make sure my schedule fits with whatever you are needing! I live in an apartment, so we have a doggy play park and lots of walking trails! So lots of exercise can definitely be part of the day!

About: I have many years of experience with dogs,cats, all manners of pets and farm animals. Im a trustworthy caring and responsible mom of kids and pets. I'm a homeschooling mom with a flexible schedule. Available to help with your pets and/or farm around the Mobile Alabama area. I have experience with various species and breeds big and small. Currently available to help in clients home /farm for checking in on your pets/farm sitting/ or dog walking. Not available for watching pets in our home at this time.

About: I've had many pets in my life, and cared for other kinds of animals in the past as well. I've owned multiple dogs, a few cats, and I've even taken care of birds when needed. I love animals and care about them a whole lot, and I have a lot of love to give, enough to share with others' pets as well as my own! I'm a fresh college student willing to form my schedules around each other and fit both my work life and school life together, so I'm sure to have the time needed to take care of your pet. I currently own two cats, who I make sure have all the toys and provide the entertainment they need to be happy, because I understand how boring it can be to play on your own all the time. My friend has a puppy I occasionally take care of as well, and I do my best to continue basic training, like house breaking and simple commands, while I take care of him. I'm gentle with animals, and patient with them, but I'm willing to show them to listen if needed. Of course, I do my best to do that by playing into their natural instincts and social structure rather than just using full force.
