“Julia was wonderful with our dogs, and her communication was excellent throughout the entire process. She was incredibly patient, quickly bonded with them, and made us feel completely at ease while we were away. It was clear that she genuinely cared about our pets. We highly recommend Julia and would gladly have her care for our dogs again! Shannon”
About: I’ve always had such a huge love for animals and have been surrounded by dogs my entire life! I grew up in a household with multiple dogs, so caring for animals has always been a natural part of my everyday routine. I’ve also worked with local animal shelters, which has given me experience with dogs of different breeds, ages, sizes, and personalities. I currently have a yellow Lab named Ollie, who I’ve raised since he was a puppy! I have tons of hands-on experience with feeding, walking, potty training, basic training, administering daily care, and making sure pets feel safe, comfortable, and loved. I understand that every animal has its own personality and needs, and I’m always happy to adjust to their routines. I truly treat every animal like family and would love the opportunity to give your pets the same love, patience, and attention I give my own! I have a pretty flexible schedule since I only have a few in-person classes and take the rest online. Because of that, I’m free most of the day and can easily plan my time around pet care. Whether it’s drop-ins, walks, or spending extra time with them, I’m able to be consistent and present. I focus on keeping pets comfortable in their own space by sticking to their normal routine. I’ll follow all instructions carefully, whether that’s feeding, walks, playtime, or medications if needed. I make sure they get plenty of attention and care so they don’t feel stressed while you’re gone. I also treat your home with respect and keep everything clean and as you left it.
“Savannah is wonderful! She has walked my two pugs several times, and they love her. She is professional, and she is a good communicator. I am so grateful to her! She clearly loves dogs, and she is so good to them.”
About: I’ve had dogs my whole life and I absolutely love animals. I’ve taken care of puppies and my current dog is a senior, so i’m comfortable with high and low energy pets.

I’m available at any time of the week and love all kinds of pets. I am comfortable with all sizes of dogs, cats, and any other furry friends of all ages!

About: I have grown up with dogs for my entire life and I now have a cat of my own. I have taken care of friends and families animals in the past and I am very reliable, caring, and friendly. Animals bring me so much joy and I treat any animal as if it were my own. I am working in a salon four days out of the week but I will be available in the mornings and the evenings of any day to provide attention to your pet. Given that I have a cat of my own, I know how angry and hurt I would be if I put her in the care of someone else and she was neglected. With that being said, you can trust that I will not put you in that position! Animals are innocent and unable to communicate their needs. Not only will I provide the essentials, I will go above and beyond to make sure your pet is happy and comfortable!

I double check that all doors and gates are secure, keep a close eye on pets during outdoor time, and follow feeding and medication instructions precisely. Trust is everything, so I’ll ensure that you feel comfortable leaving your pet. I aim to keep pet(s) active with at least 3–4 walks or play sessions per day (adjusted to their needs) so they stay happy, healthy, and relaxed while you’re away.

My schedule is currently flexible, which allows me to dedicate plenty of time and attention to pet care throughout the week.

“Zoe was great with Polly - and I know that Polly appreciated the walks and interaction while still getting new to her new home. Zoe was also flexible on meeting before the Dog Walking to get to know Polly. Thanks Zoe!!”
“Taylor was amazing! I highly recommend her for anyone looking for a dog walker. She was prompt, shared great updates and dependable while we were out of town. I had no concerns leaving our dog and house in her hands while away. We plan to reach out to her again on our next trip.”
About: Whether your pet towers over your countertop or can fit in your purse, I’ve taken care of them all. Cats and dogs of all breeds, ages, and sizes - I have had the opportunity to take care of these animals with all the love! As a cat and dog owner myself, I know first-hand what it is like to put trust into someone when you need help or have to leave.. it's scary! That is why I strive to provide the service you would do yourself if you were home, send lots of photos, give lots of snuggles, and love on your pets as my own! I am a full-time PhD Student and Instructor at The University of Alabama, but I have quite the flexible schedule. If you need a service, I will make it work to fulfill you and your pets' needs! Your pet is at the forefront of my routine. If your pup needs a walk, we will go on two. Your cat needs cuddles? I’ll be there until they get tired of me. I will treat your babies as my own because they deserve it!

You can trust I’ll take good care of your pets! I’m very responsible, trustworthy, and love spending time playing with pups! I also love being outdoors too!
“Ansley did wonderful walking my senior furbaby! She is professional, courteous, pleasant, and accommodating. My boy warmed up to her quickly and they were able to forge a good bond. I look forward to her continuing to walk, care for, and interact with my furbaby.”
About: I absolutely love dogs, especially medium to large breeds! My favorite breed is the German Shepherd. Over the past two years, I’ve gained more experience caring for other people’s pets, and having two German Shepherds of my own has given me so much experience and appreciation for spending time with dogs. I’m passionate about their well-being and making sure they feel happy, safe, and loved while in my care. I would love the opportunity to care for your furry family members and give them the attention and care they deserve! My schedule is flexible, and I’m happy to work with you to find a routine that works best for you and your pet! I’m generally available on Mondays, Wednesday and weekends, with additional availability depending on the day and time. On Tuesdays and Thursdays, I have a morning teaching commitment and afternoon tutoring responsibilities, but I have more flexibility outside of those hours. Fridays are currently reserved for my other commitments, so I’m not available that day. I’m happy to provide walks, drop-in visits, feeding, potty breaks, playtime, and companionship, while keeping your pet’s normal routine and needs in mind. My goal is to make sure your pet feels comfortable, cared for, and loved while you’re away! I care for every pet according to their individual needs, personality, and routine. In a client’s home, I make sure to follow the owner’s instructions closely, including feeding schedules, walks, potty breaks, playtime, and any other specific care routines. I’m also comfortable cleaning litter boxes, changing pee pads, and keeping the pet’s space clean and comfortable. I really value communication with pet parents and enjoy sending photos, updates, and checking in throughout the visit so you know how your pet is doing. Most importantly, I prioritize safety, patience, and making sure each pet feels comfortable, happy, and well cared for while you’re away.
