Dog Walking Shelby

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: 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: 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!

I understand the need for communication, specific instructions, and genuine care for your animal. I know that if I left my pet in someone else’s care, I would want the utmost respect, patience, gentle-hands, and skills to be applied. 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! Just communicate what you need me to do and consider it done!

About: Hey there! I’m Emily — I offer reliable, loving care for both dogs and cats, and I come straight to you. Whether it’s walks, drop-ins, playtime, feedings, litter box scooping, or even baths, I’ve got it covered. I don’t do boarding or keep pets at my place, but I’m happy to help however I can in your home. I’ve got years of hands-on experience and also run a rescue, so I’m used to handling all kinds of animals, personalities, and needs. I treat every pet like family and always aim to make things easy, safe, and stress-free — for you and your animals. Let me know what you need! Pet care is nonstop for me — it’s what I do every single day. My routine revolves around walks, drop-ins, baths, enrichment time, and everything in between. I’m used to being on the move and keeping up with each pet’s schedule. This isn’t just a side gig — it’s a big part of my life, and I’m fully committed to giving every pet the time and attention they deserve. I provide care in my clients’ homes where pets are most comfortable and relaxed. I stick to their usual routine as much as possible — whether that means feeding, walks, playtime, or giving medication. I’m big on building trust with each animal and making sure they feel safe while their person is away. I always leave things clean, double-check food and water, and send updates so you know your pet is in good hands.

“Very professional and talented!!!! Tara definitely puts in the hard work, does more than expected, and has already created a bond with Oso!!! She keeps me updated and sends me videos of his progress and overall care!!!”

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!

About: I’ve taken care of dogs and cats for 10 plus years. You will not have to worry about your pet with me I will make sure to send you as many updates you want and by the end of the stay your fur baby will have a new best friend (: I’m currently helping clean houses during the week but I still have plenty of free time to help you with your fur baby, I will be able to rearrange my schedule as needed. I will make sure your fur baby has food and water, I go by the book when given instructions on how you want your fur baby taken care of, I don’t mind crating them but if you don’t crate them I am absolutely be okay with them cuddling up to me while we watch tv. I can do check ins so that way I can spend 30 minutes to an hour making sure your fur baby goes on a walk and has exercise.

About: I love fur babies! I have had pets all of my life and from cats and dogs to even dwarf frogs. Big, tall, short, and small- I will love them all! I understand the stress of leaving town and worrying about your fur babies! I am more than happy to send cute photos for you to archive while you are away to let you know your baby is happy, healthy, and safe! I have an extremely open schedule. I would love to make pet sitting my full time job! Regular clients are welcome! Give me all of the dates you think you might need me and I will clear my calendar! I often take my pup out with me! I feel brain stimulation of any kind keeps them happy and healthy! Walks are important! Enrichment time along with gentle training: treats to sit or lay down.
