Dog Walking Tuscaloosa

About: I have grown up with dogs all of my life! I currently have two Labradors at home and have tons of experience with walking, training, and puppy sitting. I am a huge dog lover and would love to help take care of your pups!! I am currently a student at the University of Alabama and have a pretty light class load! I have 1-2 classes in the morning each day so I am mainly free in the afternoons:) In my clients home, I will provide high quality care according to owner specifications!! I will feed and make sure your pup has water, exercise and play with them, spend some quality time, clean up, and throughout provide updates with photos or messages.

“Alyssia was great! She learned all my pup’s training commands and brought her back exhausted! This was my first Rover but it won’t be last.”

“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 have been dog sitting since my teenage years for family, friends, neighbors, and repeat clients. I always send frequent photo and video updates to give you complete peace of mind. I also have hands-on experience administering oral medications safely and on schedule. Your pup’s safety, routine, and comfort are always my top priorities! With my highly flexible schedule it will be easy for me to give your fur babies the love, time, and attention they deserve and are used to! Your pets will be safe and sound at home with me!

“I thought Madison did good. She even helped find another dog walker when she couldn’t walk for me.”

About: Well I took care of my elderly neighbor dog for 4 months and I had my own husky that I took care of when I was twelve so I have experience with hyper dog and one that are more calm My schedule is built around my college classes, which means I have dedicated, reliable gaps during the middle of the day perfect for mid-day walks, feeding, and potty breaks. Because I manage my study time closely, I am fully focused and present during the hours I am booked. I keep my calendar updated with my exact class times, so you can always count on me to show up right on time and give your pup the exercise and attention they need. Since I provide care directly at your home, my number one priority is maintaining your dog's safety and peace of mind in their own environment. Growing up with a Husky taught me to always be hyper-aware of safety—I double-check that all doors, gates, and crates are completely secure before I leave, and I keep a firm, confident grip on the leash during walks to handle any sudden pulls or distractions.I treat your home with the utmost respect, always leaving it exactly as I found it. I stick strictly to the feeding, bathroom, and exercise routines you set so your dog's day stays predictable and stress-free. Plus, I love sending plenty of photo and text updates during my visits so you can see exactly how much fun your pup is having.

“Thank you for your availability and kindness to Rusty!”

About: I’m a caring, dependable, and attentive pet sitter who will treat your pets like they’re my own. I have experience caring for dogs of different ages and personalities, and I’m comfortable with feeding, walks, playtime, basic routines, and giving them plenty of love and attention. I understand that every dog has their own needs, so I’ll make sure to follow your instructions and keep their normal routine as much as possible. I’ll also keep you updated while you’re away so you can feel comfortable knowing your pet is happy, safe, and well cared for! Pet care fits easily into my routine because I have a flexible schedule and plenty of time to give each pet the attention they deserve. I can make time for walks, feeding, playtime, potty breaks, and lots of love throughout the day. I’m also available during the week and on weekends and will always make sure your pet’s normal routine is followed. I do have classes Monday-Thursday but they are short. Your pet’s safety and comfort are always my top priorities. I carefully follow all instructions provided by the owner, including feeding schedules, walking routines, medications, and any special needs. When caring for pets in a client’s home, I’m respectful of their space and make sure their pet feels comfortable and secure in their familiar environment. I’ll also provide updates and pictures so you can feel at ease while your pet is in my care.

About: I've been around dogs for as long as I can remember — I got my first dog at six years old and have been caring for pets ever since. In college, I brought a dog into my own life, which taught me even more about responsibility, routine, and the importance of creating a safe and loving environment I’m available any time during the week and weekends! I would love to drop in to make sure your dogs okay or take them on a walk if needed! I have a fenced yard that my dog happily runs around at my home! I will do everything I can to ensure the safety for your pet!

About: 🥰Bring your baby for their "fur-cation" where the fun & relaxation is!😍🐶 Having to get a sitter, drop-in visit or walks scheduled for your baby can be a stressor- being away from your baby & finding your person. Well you have found your person here. I love furbabies & will take great care of your baby. 🐶♥️ I have furkids myself & my house is setup with furbabies & safety in mind. 🥰 I have furbaby beds in several rooms, gates between doorways so in case someone wants to be alone, I can accommodate, or if your baby needs time to warm up to a new place, thats another reason to have gates, for them to meet & greet at their own pace, not rushed, bc they all have their own personalities & preferences. I just don't like the idea of having to stay in kennels, like at the vet! Thats what brought me to Rover as a client, now a sitter myself. I have a playroom for furbaby friends with plenty of toys, beds & a fenced in backyard for supervised potty & play! On pretty days we spend as much time outside as we can. We also have elevated beds outside, 2 little pup-pools, large grassy area & covered backporch with ceiling fans, patio umbrella & also a water misting fan to beat the heat! (Pup cups too!)🥰 My babies love everyone, but I know not everyone else's pups love the same things. Its important for them all feel safe & comfortable. I have kennels if needed, which we rarely use, with a spare room if needed. So if one wants to nap quietly & another wants to run & play, its no problem at all. My senior pup is 11 & will play some but mostly likes to lounge & watch the others; my twins are almost 2 & will play off & on all day, so your baby will have a great time! *I can do boarding in my home, sitter service, stop by for drop-in visit & feed/water, potty & play, or stop by & take them for a walk. I can stop by for kitty care, but cant board Ms/Mr Kitty at my house, sorry. *Ater hours pickup/drop off is no problem. My furkids are neutered/ spayed, fully vaccinated & get monthly heartworm/hookwork flea/tick prevention 💊 Prevention & good health is very important to me, as I would hope yours is taken care of also. Your baby is in good hands here, & will have plenty of playtime & treats; OR if we just want to nap, we love that too! 😊 ✨️Message me & let me know what days/times you need. Lots of love to go around.🥰 ***FIRST TIME CLIENTS: Safety for all in important. We can set up a quick meet & greet. That way, I can get better acquainted with your baby & you, and so your baby isn't meeting me as a stranger on our first day of stay, but I understand sometimes its not an option for whatever reason, & thats okay. We will be glad to have you! **We will meet in a Public/Safe place. Thanks & hope to see you & your babies soon! 🥰 I take care of furkids a little more "extra" than many furparents, I've been told! But to me that's a compliment! Bc being furbaby lover, I believe in real loving care, not just meeting basic needs. 🐕 🐈 🦮 COME STAY & PLAY!🥰🐶❤️ I work locally & have recent changes in my schedule which gives me more availability. I also have my own precious furbabies at home, so it's not a new task. I would manage the same way I do for my own. So let me know what you need & I will get you on my calendar! And Thank you for inquiring with me. And much thanks to my current Regulars & for all the wonderful comments & reviews! I appreciate you all so much & I'm always here, so book early, as I only keep a few babies at a time, for adequate, attentive care! I have a treated fenced in back yard for our Supervised play & potty & security cameras in & outside my home for safety. Update: Please ensure your furbabies are up to date on vaccines. Cameras on and within property for safety. *Misc info: I am a lifelong local to the area, and have a complete background attached to my profile & also have updated Government Clearance. So rest assured, your baby is safe with me. I love them, bc they are the epitome of unconditional love, & need to show that back to them all.

About: I have had dogs and cats my whole life. I love animals so much they are family, I have a golden retriever and a great Bernice mountain dog. I am good with big and small dogs. I also have owned cats and know how to take care of them! I know how to walk, bath, feed, and make animals feel safe and loved. I am a student at the university of Alabama. I have class from 9 to 1 but after that I am free. I can also go before class and on the weekends I am available! Animals are so important so I would make time to let them out walk and take care of with my class schedule. I can play with dogs in the yard or in the house. Go on long or short walks based on the weather. Keep them company so they don’t feel alone and make sure they feel loved and cared for at their home.

“Anna has walked my dog a couple of times. She is very thorough and always communicates with me. That is a plus, because I am very protective of my baby!”

About: I love pets! Entrusted by family and friends since childhood. I’ve worked with the local rescue in my hometown and cared for 3 dogs and 2 cats for years! I respect and understand the space and attention your pet deserves. I’m available when your pet needs me! Currently a university student but I have plenty of flexible options for any pet parent. Rover is my one and only paid commitment. Safety is my top priority! I care for your pet in the exact way he or she needs to be cared for. A generous amount of time and attention is always given to your furry friend.

About: If I were to be asked my superpower of choice, I’d tell you I already have one. Never in my 23 years of life have a met an animal I couldn’t work with, including the mean old cat my mother inherited. I take pride in my work of taking care of animals, and find it equally as rewarding seeing pet parents not have to worry about their babies in my care. From juggling my own zoo at home, to being introduced into the Pet Care business as a teenager working at an equestrian barn, I have honed my skills at prioritizing the wellbeing of animals and their happiness. With a bleeding heart and nerves of steel, I will love your pets as much as you do. I will clean their messed with understanding, play with them to enrich their brains, note any worrying conditions or details to you with urgency, and overall be the sitter you’d wish to hired again and again. My schedule is open and booked first come first served. My long term plans are to start school again in the spring to further my education and professionalism working with animals, but until then pet sitting is my first priority. Working with horses, I’ve developed a patient and calm disposition towards aggressive or scared behaviors. I try not to overwhelm any animal, and allow them to grow accustomed to my presence before I take part in whatever needs to be done. Meeting with said pets for the first time is a bit tricky, but I make it a habit for the first meeting to be with owners before services are rendered so both the client and myself are sure the animal(s) will be ok.

“Cate M. was a lifesaver. She was able to walk my two dogs when I had a long day of work. They loved her, and she made the whole process very easy. She is awesome!”

About: I have been trusted to take care of my family and friends’ pets since I have had my own car. Now that I’m old enough I want to start looking after other people’s pets more because they say do what you love. I can’t have any dogs in my own household so I want to take care of other people’s babies the best that I can. I’m in college so it’s hard to navigate between being in my college town in my home town, but I’m doing the best I can to take care of as many pets as my schedule allows. I follow specific instructions and say with the pets as long as my schedule allows. I love to send pictures of the pets for their owners because I know how much I would miss my baby. I make sure I have eyes on the pets before I leave so I don’t close them in a room and notify parents of any weird behavior.

“Claire is the best, she always save the day. Snoopy loves his stroll around the neighborhood.”

About: I’ve taken care of dogs my whole life! I’m responsible and patient and I love being outside! So your dog will get plenty of attention, exercise, and care! Since I was about 11 i’ve taken care of neighbors and family members dogs/cats while they would be away from home. I’m good with any size dog and can handle all matters like walking, feeding, or even clean up. I’m currently home for the summer before going off to college so I am around all the time to help out taking your pups on walks or giving them some extra play time! I can clean up any and all messes that may occur, I can easily help feed your dogs if needed and bring them in or out of crates.
