Dog Walkers in Western Hills, AL

“Megan is great! She went above and beyond to help us out with Steve. You can really tell she cares for the animals she is taking care of. I was not worried at all when we were out of town on vacation which means so much. I knew Steve was in good hands with Megan! I highly recommend her to anyone. Hopefully she is available next time we are out of town!”

About: I’ve been around dogs my whole life—since I was 5 years old. My mom is a dog groomer, and I worked with her for years, which gave me hands-on experience with dogs of all sizes, temperaments, and needs. I currently have three of my own, ranging from 40 to 190 lbs, so I’m very comfortable handling large breeds and high-energy pups. I’m confident with everything from basic care to reading dog body language and managing senior or anxious dogs with patience and calm energy. I work from home, so I’m home all day and able to give your pet plenty of attention, playtime, and potty breaks. My flexible schedule means I can easily stick to your dog’s routine and be available for walks, feedings, and cuddle time throughout the day. Whether I’m caring for pets in my home or yours, safety and comfort are always my top priorities. I take the time to understand each pet’s routine, personality, and any special needs or quirks. I follow instructions closely, keep a clean and calm environment, and never leave pets unattended in unsafe situations. I also give regular updates so you always know how your pet is doing. My goal is to make sure they feel secure, happy, and at home—wherever they are.

About: I have been training and taking care of dogs and cats since I was little. I love playing and caring for all types of my four legged friends. I am currently attending the University of Alabama, so my schedule is very flexible and open to all types of schedules! My schedule is completely open in summer. Please reach out for any questions! I have a big yard with two friendly outdoor labs. I also live on the lake if your dog likes to swim. Indoors, I have two cats that do not mind dogs or other cats.

About: Hello, my name is Alex! Animals have always been an interest of mine (fun fact: my favorite animal is the grizzly bear) and I love caring for them! I've been taking care of my family dogs for the last 5 years and recently adopted my kitty a little over a year ago. Outside of that, I volunteer at my local shelter and have been hired to walk dogs by neighbors as well as dog/ house sit from time to time. I may be new to Rover but I am not new to being dependable and responsible! I am currently a Junior in college and do not work a job during the academic year. My main constraint is classes when school is in session, but other than that I will work diligently to fit into whatever schedule is needed of me! I know how difficult it can be to trust someone else with your pet. This is why I do my absolute best to make sure each fur baby is treated with the same love and care that I would want for my own. My goal is to give them - and you - the absolute best experience possible.

About: Hello! I have grown up with so many pets in the household. I love pets and love to care for them. I have always had a passion about animals. I have went to others houses and cared for animals for more than 4 years. I have two dogs, a miniature border collie and a German Shepard, and one cat! I love all types on animals: dogs, cats, etc. and can’t wait to help you out with your fur babies! I do work but I always come home on my breaks everyday. Other than the days I work, I am normally home to care for animals. :-) I have two friendly dogs here who can keep your pup company, also I have a smaller crate and bigger crate to put dog in kennel if needed.

About: I love watching animals more than anything! Always know that your animal is loved and in great hands when I am in charge and responsible for them I am a full time student at The University of Alabama. This is my first year so I am still getting used to everything! I only have 2 classes max a day so have plenty of free time!! I know how to crate animals, as I have a puppy back home that is crate trained. If your yard is not fenced I will at all times keep your dog on a leash!!

About: From a young age I was taught to care for all kinds of animals such as birds, cats, dogs, pigs, and ferrets. I can bottle feed pigs, kittens, and puppies. I work with puppies on basic training skills such as sit, paw, and lay-down. I can also bath animals and give medicine when needed. My classes start at 8:00 AM so if I need to make morning trips for animal care it would need to be around 7:00 AM I get out of class at noon and typically don't have additional activities until 5:00 PM. After that I'm available from 8:00 PM till 10:00 PM for last calls at houses. Currently I live in a dorm where I cannot have animals but when I was home with my family I took the dog out first thing in the morning for a walk/ jog. Once we are back to the house I provide breakfast and got ready for school. At lunch my mom would let the dog out to go to the rest room, around 3:00 when I got home from school I took my dog out to play or swim for 45 minutes to an hour. Around 5:00 PM we would chill on the couch while I completed homework and then we her outside for her last potty break around 9:00 and then when she comes in I comb her and get her ready for bed for the night.

About: My passion for pets and their mental well-being started early. Since 2019, my dad and I have volunteered at animal shelters, walking dogs and house training them to help them find loving homes. Now, as a college freshman, I’m continuing my mission to give back to the community and support animals as they grow. With two dogs of my own I trained and experience raising a litter of puppies, I understand how important it is for pets to feel safe, loved, and engaged. When your pets are with me, they’ll get more than just care—they’ll enjoy fun agility activities, positive interaction, and, most importantly, safety. I am currently a fully time student, along with involved into on campus clubs and volunteers at the Hospital, but, I still make time to take care of animals at my local animal shelter. Your pet’s safety is my top priority. My home provides a secure, pet-friendly environment where your furry friend can relax, play, and feel at ease. I ensure all spaces are free from hazards, with secure fencing and locked gates for outdoor activities.

About: I have 5+ years of experience in pet sitting and am a huge animal lover! I have two cats of my own, and have fostered about a dozen kittens and cats from shelters. I love interacting with dogs and cats of any size and personality, and enjoy dog walking as well. I have volunteered at the Humane Society cat house, as well as walk dogs through the Metro Animal Shelter happy hour. I would love to spend time with your pets and am committed to providing them a safe environment, as well as sending updates and pictures while you are away so you know they are in goods hands. I am currently a UAB medical student living in Tuscaloosa. I currently have a flexible schedule in my fourth year, and most of my weekends are completely open as well as some weekdays. I will ensure that my calendar stays updated routinely with availability. I am fully willing to tailor my pet-sitting for you and your pets needs! I am very flexible as far as needs for feeding, walking, etc and check ins at your home. Love going to the Tuscaloosa riverwalk for dog walking! Your pet can also stay in my home if needed! I live in a house with two adult cats so I prefer that your pet be cat-friendly, but I also have an extra bedroom where your furbaby can stay if separation is needed. My house has a walking trail and lake behind it which is perfect for dogs. My cats have been introduced to many foster pets over the years!

About: Hi furbaby parents! 🐕❤️ (Due to last minute inquiries & some that were questionable, PLEASE SEE BELOW FOR 1ST TIME CLIENTS. Safety for all is important, thats why (when possible) I ask for a week notice of New Clients in order to have time for us to schedule a meet&greet for those who may have behavior or severe anxiety issues. I have an updated availability, so just let me know what you need & will try to accommodate. Please understand the safety needs these days for everyone, even on this app.🐶😊 I know having to get sitter service, drop-ins or walks scheduled for your baby can be stressful nowadays. It's also hard to know who is the best fit, until you try. Life can be busy & demanding at times, & I understand the importance of finding the right one who will take great care of your baby. 🐶♥️ I was raised in the country with several furbabies, of various sizes with my grandma who was also an absolute furbaby-lover! So it just comes natural to me. Bc to me, they are our babies, our children. I have 30+ years experience of many furbabies. Like us, they each have their own likes, dislikes, quirks & personalities. I have furkids myself (ChiChi-10yr old Beagle mix, who i raised from a pup, my Beagle pups are mths old & are in training school. My babies love everyone, but I know not everyone else's pups love the same things. I do understand how important the care for your baby is! My entire house is setup for furbabies & their individual care, with gates between many of the rooms & areas throughout the house, so if one needs a little more time to adjust to a new place, or others, it really makes it better for them all, to make them all feel safe & comfortable. I have several nap areas, toys & an entire playroom just for furbabies, with a spare room if needed. So if one wants to nap quietly & another wants to run & play, its no problem at all. *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. I work locally in healthcare & so after 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 that well also. They love to play, & get along Great with other furbabies! Your baby is in good hands here, & will have plenty of playtime & treats; OR if we just want to nap, we love that too! 😊 I have some small/med sized, & 1 large kennel [IF Needed] & my back yard is treated & fenced in, for supervised potty & play. I usually don't kennel, unless you prefer, so let me know YOUR preference. ✨️Message me & let me know what days/times you need - from boarding, to drop-in visit, to taking a walk, & more, just reach out to me. Lots of love to go around here. As mentioned, after hours drop-off or pickup is no problem for me, just let me know the Correct Dates/Times as I often do an alt work patterns & can work with you on that.🥰 ***FIRST TIME CLIENTS: Let's set up a quick meet & greet Prior to your baby's stay/care- especially for those "last minute needs"- emergencies happen. 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 care day. This way we can both know if I can accommodate to your furbaby's needs. **We will meet in a Public/Safe place. Thanks & hope to see you & your babies soon! 🥰UPDATE: Rover makes 20% of all earnings, I can/will offer discounted or locked in rates for my Repeat clients or Regulars; I even do some private pay clients. I take care of furkids a little more "extra" than many furparents, I've been told! But to me that's a compliment! Bc between being a mom/nana, caregiver & furbaby lover, I believe in holistic care, not just meeting basic needs. I just want you & your baby to be happy to have me as your person! **In the future I plan on expanding my area & availability, with the possibility/option of private owner sitter service. Stay tuned... hope to see you soon! 🐕 🐈 🦮 🐈‍⬛️ Updated: 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 couple babies at a time, for adequate, attentive care! I have a treated fenced in back yard for our Supervised play & potty. Update: Please ensure your furbabies are up to date on vaccines. Cameras on and within property for safety. *I thought this should go in the safety area: I'm no stranger to the area. I'm originally from Fayette County. I have family here in Northport, Coker & Tuscaloosa. So, 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 contacted Catherine at the very last minute because Wag canceled 30 minutes prior to a scheduled walk. Catherine was awesome. She came right over and took Stella on a walk for me. She sent me pictures and kept me updated. I won’t be booking a walk with Wag ever again... I will be using Catherine instead!”
