Dog Walkers in Shelby, AL

About: I have taken care of dogs, cats, rabbits, farms animals. Loving and caring for animals is my passion. They can be just a sprout all the way to a retired old baby and I will be happy to care for them. I’m currently working full time but plan on switch careers and would love to give this a try and see where it takes me in life. In my home, my dog, Buddy, is spoiled rotten. Lots of loves, plenty of cuddles. He is allowed on furniture. He doesn’t have a fenced in yard but he know his boundaries. In your home, I am more than willing to go by your rules.

About: Growing up in a house with lots of animals has taught me how to care for animals with patience, love, and responsibility from a very young age meaning I’m very comfortable handling all kinds of personalities, energy levels, and needs! I truly believe every animal deserves quality time, genuine affection, and attentive care — not just the basics. As a dog mom myself to my sweet (and slightly crazy!) baby, I completely understand how important it is to trust someone with your furry family member. I know how much specific routines, instructions, and little details matter, and I will always make sure your pet feels safe, loved, and comfortable while in my care. Whether your pet needs playtime, cuddles, walks, patience, or extra attention, I’m here for it all. You can relax knowing your baby will be treated like family with me! Skills… - oral medications - any type of extra care - shy/quiet animals - comfortable with hyper, energetic animals - older animals - puppies of any kind - calm under pressure - Excellent communication with owner - pet safety awareness - long walks and active play - gentle handling technique I work at Starbucks so I go by shifts each week!

And I am more than happy to give that same experience to your baby! I love all types of animals and each personality is different and beautiful. This isn’t just another job for me, it’s a way to help others in a genuine, kind way! From one parent to another, I understand and I would love to work with you!

About: I treat every dog like family—patient with seniors, playful with pups, and always focused on love, safety, and making tails wag with joy. I tailor each visit to meet your dog’s unique needs and personality. I currently work from home and have an open schedule to be as attentive as I need to for your four legged friends. I love walks and always am ready for potty breaks I have a fenced in yard and two very friendly friends that can wait to make new friends. I do have a crate in the home if that’s what your furry friends prefers for its safe space.

About: Each animal has a soul that deserve caring love. They deserve high quality care and attention. I communicate frequently through text and emails. I have been a social worker for 20+ years. I am no longer working full time. I would love to devote more of my time and attention to animals. In my personal experience I have helped care for kittens, cats and dogs. I will be happy to send photos while caring for your pets! I am currently teaching part time at Montevallo. I am off during the summer. I have a few free days each week. My husband and I have a daughter who is in college. This gives me some available time to petsit for your furbabies! I can drive to your place and care for your animals as needed. I am an avid communicator through text/email. I will be happy to send pictures of your pets during my time with them.

About: I’ve taken care of dogs since I was 14 when I got my first dog Charlie. Raised him from a 7 month in 2020 to a fully grown 6 year old standard poodle. I love him so much, and Potty trained Him the same year I got him in 2020. I used to own a female cat called Sophie. Had her from 2021 until 2026 she had left us due to some unfortunate circumstances. I got her as a kitten in 2021 she was only a few weeks old. Put much care into feeding her and potty training her later on in 2021. I’ve taken care of a multitude of dogs. From old senior dogs to puppies. I’ve taken care of a senior black Labrador, and a senior miniature poodle. I’ve also taken care of other breeds like pit bulls . I’m comfortable with any dog or cat and don’t mind them in my house. I’m currently home for college so I’ll have plenty of time for your pets. I wake up early so I feed my pets and take them out to use the bathroom at 8-9am. I usually take them out every 2-3 hours and I’ll keep them in my living room. I’ll try to take them out for a walk in the morning or evening to avoid the awful summer heat I have a fenced back yard, and a friendly poodle that would love to play with your pets if needed. If your pet likes to stay to themself I’ll leave my dog downstairs to allow your pet to feel comfortable at home.

About: With over 16 years of experience in animal care, I bring a strong background in both small and large animals, including horses, livestock, and dogs. I’ve worked in veterinary clinics and dog boarding facilities, which gave me hands-on experience with animals of all temperaments and needs. While I value the structure of those settings, I believe in-home care is the most comfortable and stress-free option for most pets. I currently care for two dogs and two horses of my own, and I approach every client’s animal with the same level of respect, patience, and attentiveness I give my own. House Sitting Availability: I’m available for overnight care only, providing feeding, walks, and supervision during the night hours. Drop-In Visits Availability: I can provide up to two drop-in visits per day, including feeding, potty breaks, and basic care. In home boarding : I live in an apartment with a fenced deck, have two friendly dogs, and kids aged 3 and 8. I provide plenty of walks, playtime, and attention. I never board more than one family at a time, so your pup gets all the care and attention they need while you’re away. I prioritize safety and trust above all else when caring for pets in your home. Creating a calm, secure environment is essential to help your pets feel comfortable and relaxed while you’re away. I treat your home and pets with the same respect and care I would expect for my own!
