Dog Walkers in Smiths Station, AL

About: I have taken care of dogs, cats, horses, goats, and chickens while traveling throughout the South East. I graduated from Auburn in August of 2021 and since then I have been driving everywhere I can to take care of animals in new places. I have loved sitting in the Columbus/Phenix City/Smiths Station area and look forward to taking care of more fur-babies in my area! I would be happy to sit in Auburn or Fort Mitchell as well, anywhere within an hour and I’m sure we can work it out! I have provided care for all kinds of critters, big, little, elderly, sick, grumpy, and silly, (most of them are silly). I strive to be the best provider for your pet-loved ones! Whatever your animal needs, we can figure it out together! My weekly routine will be all over the place this summer, but I look forward to figuring out what will work best for you! Just let me know what you need and we can figure it out together. Sadly, I will be unable to allow pets into my home, but will be happy to commute and care for your pets in their comfort zone!

“Wendy was great with my puppy! I contacted her very short notice and she pulled through, saving me. She was great with communicating, took pictures during my puppies outing, and kept me updated.”

About: I’ve taken care of dogs and cats my whole life, but i also have experience with birds, snakes, rats, and rabbits. I’m also known as a cat whisperer and I use to walk dogs for a boarding facility. I also have fostered neonate kittens and waking up at odd hours to take care of a pet isn’t new to me. Pet care takes up most of my time in my home considering we have so many. It’s a lot of work but I don’t mind doing it I take care of my own animals every morning and night constantly. In the morning I’m use to feeding and snuggling my birds and letting them have free time in their own room. Of course take my dog on a walk and potty. I have an automatic litter robot for my cats but have years of litter scooping under my belt.

“Heather was absolutely amazing with my dogs! She took great care of them, sent pictures, and was so easy to communicate with! I would absolutely recommend using her to watch your dogs!”

I have grown up with pets my whole life and have always loved having them around. However after my past dog Beau past away I felt no desire to have another but missed the affection so I would love to provide temporary care and love for your fur babies!

I have a fenced in yard with a ton of room for running and playing. Along with a home they can roam about as they please! I can crate your babies if need be but it is absolutely your choice!

About: I’ve cared for animals for most of my life. Growing up, my family always had pets in the house like dogs, cats, fish, and even my sweet guinea pig cupcake. Because of that, I’m very comfortable around animals and extremely patient and attentive when it comes to all different kinds of pets. All pets are different with unique personalities and should be cared to just like us. I’m currently a full time student but I am incredibly flexible and available to care for your snuggly furry (or bald) babies! I can work around your schedule. When caring for pets in a client’s home, I respect the clients home and follow the normal routine set in the household. I can guarantee feeding schedules, portion sizes, exercise routines, everything will be followed.

“Absolutely wonderful. My baby and I just moved to the area and I started crate training him and he's a master escape artist and he managed get out the crate and destroy my blinds but Autumn was very helpful with calming my little man down and cleaning up behind him. I definitely plan to use her again and I encourage any and every to use her! THANK YOU SO MUCH!!!!”

Experienced with neonatal puppies All I do is take care of animals, there safety and well-being is very important to me. If I notice something unusual you will be notified!!

I’ve cared for other pets like birds, lizards, chinchillas, etc. I am currently not working so I have plenty of pet time. My dogs are taken out very often, and we go on long walk/runs at least once a day. We play a lot of fetch and tug-o-war! I have two friendly dogs that love to make new friends and my 5-year-old son is obsessed with loving on all animals so there is plenty of fun and love to go around for your fur babies in this home.

About: I’ve been caring for animals since I was around 9 years old, starting with my own pets and helping out with the pets of friends and family. While I haven’t done it professionally until now, I’ve always been the go-to person when someone needed a trustworthy and loving caregiver for their furry friend. I’m comfortable with dogs of all sizes and love giving them the attention, exercise, and care they deserve. Whether it’s walks, drop-ins, or in-home visits, I treat every pet like my own, with patience, playfulness, and lots of love! Pet care fits very naturally into my routine. I recently graduated, so I currently have a very open and flexible schedule that allows me to give pets plenty of attention, consistency, and care throughout the day. I genuinely enjoy spending time with animals and making sure they feel comfortable, safe, and cared for! When caring for pets in their own home, I focus on keeping them comfortable, happy, and relaxed in their familiar space. During visits, I make sure they get plenty of attention, whether that means playtime, cuddles, a walk, or just some calm companionship. I always follow the pet parent’s instructions closely, from feeding routines to favorite toys and potty breaks. I know how important it is to maintain your pet’s usual routine, so I do everything I can to make each visit feel safe, fun, and stress-free for both you and your furry friend!

About: I have grooming experience, have large breed experience, and am willing to work with dogs who may be aggressive. Also willing to train for certain behaviors based on my own experience and your input. I will work with any schedule, 3rd shift workers or odd requests. I walk my dog 3 times a day, I use ‘sniff’ walks to keep him happy and calm throughout the day. I will ask many questions about how you train and keep your pets, as well as matching that style. I feel pets are a member of a family and I adore them as such, even if they aren’t mine.

About: I’ve had experience taking care of animals since I was a young child. Dogs of all sizes and energies and ages; cats, fish, rabbits (and other small animals). I have a lot of patience and love meeting dogs and learning of their personalities. I am absolutely thrilled to meet and take care of your pet! Hi my name is Dudley, I usually have an open schedule. I am flexible with hours and would love to help you with your schedule. So I understand a new environment for your pet might be a little overwhelming. I like to keep the initial introduction calming and bring your pets toys or dog bed into the new environment to let him/her feel safe. I do have other dogs but I have the ability to keep them separate if your pet doesn’t like other animals. My dogs have been vaccinated. I have a large back yard where your pet can let a lot of energy out and have a ton of fun! If I would house sit I would love an introduction. Usually a treat or two helps them feel calm around me. If you just wanted a walking service for your pet I would find a route near your neighborhood or apartment complex. I make sure to stay off the asphalt as much as possible. And in the summer I bring an extra water bottle with me in case they get tired.

About: I’ve had animals for as long as I can remember. I have volunteered at shelters for the last few years. I am comfortable with any animal if they are comfortable with me. I work full-time remote but I can easily work around my schedule. I am great for early mornings, lunch breaks(12-1pm), and anytime after 5pm. I have my own transportation so I can easily get to you. Care in your home is preferred, as my pup is still learning to be nice to other animals. This also makes it easier for your pets as they are already comfortable in that environment. I can feed, walk, and play as needed. I am also comfortable bathing your animals.

“Boots and Wilma liked Olivia from the get-go--always a good sign. I just returned home to happy dogs. Thanks Olivia!”
