Dog Walkers in Union Church, AL

I work from home and am available most of the time especially with notice. Just let me know and we can make arrangements.

“Victoria was so sweet and attentive with my dogs! She made sure they got more than just a walk with lots of cuddles and playtime. She’s great about sending pictures and a good summary! Will definitely use again. Thank you!!”

About: My household has always had a furry friend in it since the day I was born from small ankle biters like Chihuahuas to hefty cuties like my current Bully Pit that I can safely wrestle in some horseplay. Puppies, seniors, we don't discriminate 'round here! I don't mind getting my hands dirty and have small experience in clicker training younger pups along with an energy to match whichever personality I'm given. A boundless Collie? We can play all day! A sleepy old Bassett? We can chill with some TV. I'm not above being put to work either. Give me a litter box to clean. Give me medicine and I'll make sure it's getting swallowed. Toss a cat my way as well why doncha? I worked as a cat caretaker during my fall and spring semesters in Auburn University, as well as own a lovely kitten named Autumn, so having a feline to shake things up would be a nice treat! Trust me, my hands have a good pain tolerance. Beyond that, I know it costs major bucks to look after your pets. Or pay someone ELSE too. Sometimes a week stay for a pet can run up to $500! That's why you come to me. I offer affordable rates because I'm more concerned with the passion than the money. I have multiple pets of my own and I know the chip they can put in my wallet just from vet visits! So I won't let it get in your way! 🤠 I've graduated happily from Auburn University with a degree in Animal Sciences and am settling into a new job. This means that while I'm happy to take on new clients, my schedule is sporadic as it's determined on a weekly basis. It also means I will be gone for many hours at a time. My current work schedule and thus how long I'd be busy for Aug 11-17 is: Mon: Free Tue: 4-9:30 pm Wed: 5-9:30 pm Thurs: 5-9:30 pm Fri: 3-9:30 pm Sat: 4-9:30 pm Sun: Free Safety is a non-negotiable when it comes to our furry friends. Just like I do with my own pals, I stay by them at all times when outside and encourage their attention with toys or loving scritches when they're not doing their business. If push comes to shove, I am capable of safely wrestling an overzealous dog into calming down or tightening the 'ol leash if need be. With cats, responsibly scruffing rarely fails. Inside, unless stated otherwise where they're allowed to park themselves, I stay with my little friends on the floor and can crate them if specified to do so when it's bedtime. If they're free roamers, I let them tag along where I go! Except the kitchen. I also welcome animals who require daily or periodic medication. Bear in mind I charge $10 per day of administering medication, and it would cover all required meds for that day. Rest assured your friend will be taken care of!

“This was my first time using Rover and Charsy set a great first impression! She has great communication and an amazing personality. She’s very professional and my dogs love her. I would not hesitate to book with her again!”

“I gave Deanna a key to my place to walk my dog. She walked her for an hour, dropped her off and left the key. My dog seems like really life her. She was on time and everything was so smooth.”

About: I have been a genuine animal lover my entire life! Since I was young I was quick to bond with any animal, no matter how ornery they were. For years, I have been the trusted sitter for my family's, friend's, and coworker's furry friends. My main passion in sitting is giving your fur babies all the love, companionship, and structure they need to keep their stress down and stay on routine. I also have a passion for animal photography, so there is a good chance you will be left with a cute little memento to welcome you back home. I'm excited and look forward to watching your tail-wagging sidekicks! I strive to be available for your pet whenever I am needed! I'm passionate about keeping your pets on routine as much as I can, and am willing to adapt my schedule as much as possible to achieve that. My experience revolves around pet sitting in the client's homes. I'm a "by the book" personality, so I will follow all pet care instructions to the tee. So I will care for your pets in the exact same way that you care for your pets.

About: I have over 30 years of experience taking care of a variety of animals including: dogs, cats, horses, cows, goats, sheep, pigs, snakes, fish, hamsters, and guinea pigs. I have raised animals from birth up until their assent to heaven. I work for Uber, so I have a very flexible schedule that will allow me to fit your needs. I have two dogs myself, and while they come first, I have plenty of time and love to give. I am a very clean and trustworthy person and your animal family member will always be in a safe and loving environment. I want every animal to get their exercise, so if that's a walk or just playing I will make sure they do so in the most fun way possible.

About: I have worked in the pet industry for almost 8 years and have enjoyed every single minute of it! At my current position, I have been working directly with dogs for 5+ years and plan to work with dogs for years to come! I am currently working part time(mon-fri after 4pm), so that leaves plenty of time during your work day for me to visit with your pet! For morning/afternoon visits, I can drop in any time before 4pm(latest drop in 3:15p), so I would be perfect for those lunch time pick-me-ups that pets love! If you work night shift and need a late night drop in, I'm your choice! I am available all week after 8pm(earliest pm drop in would be 8:15pm) for walks, potty breaks, or late night snacks! I am confident in my leash walking skills and care abilities. I am also well versed in containment and different types of behavior styles in dogs. Whether they are grumpy or happy-go-lucky, I am confident in my ability to provide excellent care.

“Crystal is very good with our dog Mollie. She is prompt and conscientious and even helps me with doggie related jobs. Mollie looks forward to her walks with Crystal and perks up markedly when she hears Crystal's voice. Crystal came to help me quicker than normal when she realized how badly I needed her. (My husband had major surgery, and the walker I had lined up unexpectedly couldn't come at the last minute.) We're even adding a couple of walks to the contract to allow Mollie to taper off seeing Crystal rather than stopping "cold turkey." I highly recommend Crystal!”

About: I have a deep love for dogs and years of hands-on experience caring for pups of all ages, from playful puppies to wise seniors. I have so much compassion in my approach to dogs who are grieving the loss of a sibling or companion.

About: I have had dogs, sometimes multiple ones, all my life. I am an animal lover, and advocate, of all kinds of animals. I just lost my Maltese of 13 years old which traveled the world with me literally. I was only away from him for two nights his whole life, and that was bc he spent the night at the vets one night, and I spent the night at the hospital one night. He went everywhere with me. From restaurants to Walmart. If I went he went. I have no children, so he was my child. I will treat your baby with the same love, and care. I have a newly build house with an acre that is fenced in. So, if your dog is large and likes to run outside, it can. I also have a screened in back porch. You baby will be safe and loved in my home. I am retired and spend most of my time at home. So your dog will be supervised, as per hour request. I am flexible and will listen to the owners request, as much as possible. I have a fenced in acre of land. I also have a screen in back porch. If you have small dogs, they can run freely, and I would stay outside to watch them. If you have large dogs they can stay out all they want. Dogs love me! They know if you are of good character, or not.

About: I have taken care of dogs since I was 11, I have also worked at a veterinarian clinic and have experience with giving medication, bathing, feeding, and caring for dogs of all kind! I only work part time, so I am available almost all days out of the week! I can make sure my schedule fits with whatever you are needing! I live in an apartment, so we have a doggy play park and lots of walking trails! So lots of exercise can definitely be part of the day!
