“Laura is very responsible, super helpful, and does her job perfectly. My furry friend loves her and is super happy every time he sees her. I recommend her and will continue to use her services.”
About: From energetic labs to more lethargic Bichon's, I've cared for a wide variety of dogs in the short time I've been in the dog sitting game. Whether it be just a simple walk for a mile or so, to bathing, many of the closest people around me have looked to me when they needed their pet cared for. Though I've only "pet sat" for about a year now, my family has been blessed to have been able to have 4 dogs in my lifetime (with our current being my yorkie bichon King Zeus), with everyone of them adding experience to a different aspect of what it means to correctly care for a pet. I'm a part-time employee at a pizza place, so most days there is plenty of time for me to spend time with any dog staying with me! I see every pet that I care for as if it's my very own, meaning I'm am willing to go the extra mile to ensure that not only the pet is as comfortable as they can be, but also their owner can entrust them in my care knowing that their little baby will be safe. In terms of the living area in my house, it's very pet friendly with wide spaces and a VERY big backyard so that pets can play to their heart's content.
About: I’ve watch dogs and cats for four years when needed, from a one time visit to 2 weeks of checking in three times daily. I’ve also handled turtles and fish in the same capacity. Am happy to clean out a litter box, take a dog on a walk, or do more. Any added bookings within 24 hours of the first check in, or during visits, is subject to an additional 16$ fee. I’m a student full time and therefore am out of the house from around 9-2 most days but am otherwise available for your pet care needs. I love to spend some extra time at a clients home giving their animal more love and affection to ensure they don’t feel lonely or abandoned.
“Brian does a great job with our two large, energetic dogs. He follows instructions exactly and gives us great updates. He is very responsive to communication and booking requests. One of our dogs is a young, and strong boxer who gets overexcited when meeting new people or passing other dogs. Brian handles him very well and we are comfortable knowing both dogs are safe in good hands.”
About: I am a Holistic Pet Health and Nutrition Coach specializing in recipe formulation and Dalmatians. I have fostered dozens of cats over the years and I have added dogs to my household. I can assist those that are interested or intimidated by homemade pet food. I have a business around pet wellness, health, and nutrition specializing in recipe formulation and Dalmatians. My schedule is completely flexible to meet the requirements of my clients. Caring for pets is dependent on the pet in front of me and their unique qualities. I allow pets to be themselves and be comfortable around me. I put in the dedicated time and effort for each pet I care for.
About: I've had dogs since I can remember. My fiancé watched dogs in the past with rover and I would always help. Take the dogs to the park on my days off, play outside, and train them when needed. I am currently on veterans disability so I can focus my whole day to your furry friend. No worry about being stuck in all day. I have 5 acres of yard for them to play on. I have lots of space if needed, room for crates, room outside. Plenty of space so your furry friend won't feel trapped. My animals mind their own.
“Jenny was great to work with. Not only was she extremely responsive with communication but she also punctual. She was happy to have a meet and greet before our initial booking to ensure our dog was comfortable with her as he can sometimes be finicky with new people the first time or two. Will happily be booking her again for future dog walks.”
About: I’ve cared for dogs and cats my entire life. I am looking forward to opportunities to care for your dog(s) or cat(s) while you are away and love them like they were my own. I have a fenced in yard and live in a wonderful neighborhood with lots of walking trails. I have three children, ages 10, 12, and 14 that grew up with dogs and learned how to be loving and respectful to animals. I’m a high school teacher so I’m able to be home during the summer and school holidays. My routine includes a morning, afternoon and an evening walk after dinner. The fenced backyard provides opportunities for exercise outside of walks. I follow your pets normal feeding schedule and will only provide the food and treats that you provide to avoid any allergy or food intolerance concerns. On school days, my husband is typically working from home so there is usually someone home without long periods of being left home alone. Pets are cared for as part of the family and receive lots of love and attention.
About: I have been around animals my whole life including dogs, cats, horses, iguanas, chickens, and rabbits. I am retired and have plenty of time for pet care. I am retired and have a very open schedule. I have two small dogs, a cat, and rabbits that my daughter helps me with which gives me flexibility. I have 2 small dogs, a cat, and rabbits on nearly 2 acres of land. I live in a neighborhood and have plenty of places to go on walks.
About: I’ve been taking care of dogs for 9 years now. I have walked them, and dropped in for visits when requested. For me, taking care of your furry family member is a privilege. I want you to know your dog is as important to me as they are to you. I am currently enrolled in college locally. Therefore, I am very flexible because my classes are online. My schedule can easily be adjusted to accommodate your needs. I have a dog and cat who I care for on a regular basis. I play with my dog as well as I give both of them a lot of attention. I also comfort my dog and cat if they are stressed.
About: With four years of experience running our family-owned pet sitting business, Westerleigh Walker’s in Moseley, I’ve had the pleasure of caring for pets of all ages, from energetic puppies to cherished senior companions. I’m experienced in administering medications and always attentive to the small details that make a big difference. My deep love for animals shines through in the care I give, and I strive to make every visit calm, safe, and personalized to your pet’s individual needs. You can count on me for dependable, compassionate care every time. I am a SAHM mom with older kids and a very flexible schedule. I’ve been caring for pets professionally for the past 4 years, and animals have always been a big part of our home life. Whether it’s walks, playtime, or medication needs, I’m experienced, reliable, and happy to provide personalized care for your furry family members! With 4 years of pet sitting experience, I provide safe, reliable care and I aim to make every visit smooth and stress-free, always treating your pet with the same love and attention I give my own.
About: While I grew up with dogs throughout my adolescence, I also have years of experience working as a pet sitter and dog walker. I spent years working at a dog daycare and veterinary clinic as a technician, and prior to that was working as a pet sitter in community. I have always had a passion and immense love for animals , and deeply enjoy being able to take on work that allows me to spend time with them. My own dog, Kaia (the Golden Retriever puppy pictured), means the world to me so I know first hand how nerve wracking it can be to leave your dog in the care of someone else. I will provide your dog with patience, kindness, compassion, and fun, and hopefully be able to ease some of those worries! I have a very flexible schedule with a lot of free time that allows me to prioritize Rover. I can usually work around your schedule to walk your pup whenever needed! Growing up around dogs & having worked with them, I feel I have a good understanding of safety and the precautions necessary to ensure it. I am very patient and understand that each dog is unique and will have its own individual traits and needs. Working with dogs is such a passion of mine which allows me to bring lots of enthusiasm and joy into the job. Because of my own dog I will not be offering pet-sitting services in my own home, but am excited to offer walking services and pet sitting in the client’s home.
