Dog Walking Ailston

About: Since 2014, I’ve cared for pets of all ages and pawsonalities — from shy kittens to spicy dogs, plus chickens, bunnies, and even a hermit crab. 🐶🐱🐔🐰🐟 Fostering over 200 pets has made me fluent in body language (pet edition). Whether your pet wants snuggles, space, or serious playtime, I tailor each visit to what makes them happiest. I’m comfortable giving medications* and teaching basic obedience. I also make the experience great for you! I’m a reliable communicator, send plenty of cute pics, and if your pet’s up for it, you’ll come home to a handmade surprise “from your pet.” *If medications are required to be given an additional fee will be negotiated and applied before the booking is confirmed. Pet care fits naturally into my routine — it’s something I genuinely enjoy! I’m available mornings, evenings, and weekends, with a flexible schedule that allows me to adapt as needed. I am able to care for about a dozen pets per week and I only book one house-sitting family at a time to ensure each pet gets my full attention. Walks and drop-ins can easily be added into my day, especially Monday through Friday. Pet care is both relaxing and rewarding for me — I love building relationships with the pets I visit, and I think they look forward to our time together just as much as I do! I provide care exclusively in my clients’ homes, starting by learning their pet’s established routine to ensure they feel comfy and happy. I gather all the important info — like vet contacts, emergency numbers, and where cleaning supplies live (just in case!). I’m a tidy sitter too: I take out the trash and scoop up any yard “presents” to keep things fresh. Most importantly, I listen closely to both owner and pet to discover what makes each furry friend feel safe and loved, then tailor my care to their unique personality.

“Excellent first meet!”

About: I grew up on a 25 acre cow farm. As a child I had every pet imaginable. As a mother I allowed my children to experience owning pets. My 2 youngest grown children have dogs and they are my grand dogs lol. We are a horse family. I have a degree in education and have been a teacher for ever. If I can be trusted with children then you can certainly trust me with you pets. I currently don’t have any pets due to where I live. The landlord is strict on the no pets policy. I know it’s a bummer 👎 All my children are grown so I have evenings and weekends free 👍 I know pets can be considered as a family member so I will take care of them as if they are my own children. I will provide plenty of extra love and kisses.

About: I’ve taken care of many different animals. Cats, dogs, lizards: you name it! I’m experienced with big dogs who have lots of personality, as well as cats who can be skiddish and shy. I also have a cat and dog of my own, and have experience with administering medication for all your pet’s needs! I’m available for you and your pet when you need me. My schedule is very flexible, and we can always talk about what times work best for you and your pet’s needs. I am well-versed in the animal language. Having many pets of my own and other experiences with animals, I can understand exactly what your pet needs. I am a fun loving person that has lots of love and comfort for your animal!

“Bethany is great! Was a huge help when I was in a pinch while moving. She’s very thoughtful and attentive about my dog. It feels good knowing she’s in good hands.”

About: I have dog sat for the past ten years. During that time I have bottle fed puppies, administered medications and cared for a senior dog who had ALS. I currently work freelance remotely so I am available anytime during the week to look after your fur babies and I love to go on long walks so they will get plenty of exercise. I am a person who is big on personal space and would never want someone to feel uncomfortable in their own home. So, I would make sure that your home is the same way that you left it.

About: I have grown up with having dogs as pets my whole life. I grew up on a farm so I have experience in caring for livestock as well. I have a very flexible schedule this summer including weekdays and weekends as I am home from college for summer break. Please feel free to reach out! I have been around many types of dogs so I have experience with all types. Based on what the owner wants to be done/ the dogs needs I’m happy to help.

About: Hi! My name is Julia, and I have loved animals for as long as I can remember. I have owned both dogs and cats since I was a child, so caring for pets has always been a natural and important part of my life. I have several years of experience with dog sitting and house sitting, and I understand how important it is to know your pets and home are in caring, trustworthy hands. I love all pets and enjoy getting to know each animal’s unique personality, routine, and needs. Whether your pet loves long walks, playtime, cuddles, or just a calm companion nearby, I will make sure they feel safe, loved, and well cared for while you are away. I am dependable, attentive, and respectful of each family’s home and pet care preferences. I would be happy to care for your furry family member and give them the same love and attention I would give my own pets! Pet care fits naturally into my daily routine because caring for animals has always been a part of my life. I’m used to planning my day around feeding times, walks, playtime, litter box care, check-ins, and making sure pets feel comfortable and safe. I enjoy having pets as part of my routine, whether that means starting the day with a walk, stopping by for a midday visit, or spending quiet time with a cat who just wants company nearby. I’m dependable and flexible, and I understand that pets do best when their normal schedule is followed as closely as possible. I’m happy to adjust my routine to match each pet’s needs, whether they need extra attention, medication reminders, playtime, or just someone calm and caring to keep them company while their family is away. I care for pets with patience, respect, and attention to their normal routine. In a client’s home, I follow all instructions carefully, including feeding schedules, walks, litter box care, medications or special needs, favorite toys, and any house rules. I know pets feel safest when things stay familiar, so I do my best to keep their routine calm and consistent while their family is away. I also treat every home with care and respect. I make sure doors are locked, food and water are refreshed, litter boxes or pet areas are kept clean, and pets are safe before I leave. I pay close attention to each pet’s behavior, comfort level, and personality, whether they are playful, shy, energetic, independent, or need a little extra reassurance. My goal is for pets to feel safe, loved, and comfortable, and for owners to feel confident knowing their pets and home are in trustworthy hands.

About: I've personally worked with a professional dog trainer, a doggy day care, and a pet store, so I have various knowledge when it comes to how to interact, play, treat, walk, watch, and love your dogs. I also have personal experience with seniors, puppies, special needs and x-large large dogs. I also have much understanding and experience with cats and kittens as well Busy season? We've got you covered. I'm excited to share that I now have two trusted team members helping with drop-ins and overnight pet sitting! Both have previous experience caring for dogs, cats, and reptiles, so your pets will be in capable, caring hands. I'll personally introduce them to you and your pets before any visits, so we can go over routines, special instructions, and any details to make sure everyone feels comfortable. I trust them with my own animals, and that says a lot! • Pet care is my full-time job, and I'm committed to providing the best possible care, love, and attention to every pet I look after. Thank you for trusting me with your furry, scaly, and four-legged family members! I believe (and have experienced it with my own pets) that pets are more comfortable in their own home, and that's why I offer to come and house/pet sit in the safe haven that is your house. Your pet will get treated, and spoiled, as if they were my own

“Jenna is an extremely responsible, caring person, and my dog Bailey loves her walks with Jenna. I would highly recommend her for any pet care you need.”

About: I’ve always owned lots of pets. Currently own 4 dogs. I love animals of all kinds. I work full time and am only available afternoon/evenings and weekends. Looking for evening and weekend dog walking or dog sitting. I work full time during the day depending on location I could possibly do drop ins during the day. I do not do care in my home due to my own dogs. I do everything I can to make your pets as comfortable as possible while in my care.

About: Hi! My name is MaKenzi and I have had pets as long as I can remember, I grew up with two pitbulls rescues, two smaller dogs, and an older cat that I assumed most of the care for as both parents worked full time jobs. Taking care of multiple animals at one time requires a lot of energy and the ability to organize the things they need well but I learned very quickly! Since I have lived on my own I have helped friends and coworkers with taking care of their beloved fur babies while they’re on vacation or just need an extra hand with their pets. In the last year I have rescued my own kitten and I have absolutely spoiled her with all of the patience, love, affection, and extra care that her heart could desire.

“Paul and his fiancée do a great job with my Husky. My dog normally doesn’t enjoy other humans, and he loses his appetite when I travel. But Paul’s energy didn’t bring any of those concerns out.”

“Jordan was amazing and helped us out when we were in need at the last minute.”

About: What sets me apart from other care takers is the level of care and attention I give every animal. I take the time to understand their personality and routine and I prioritize inclusion. I love to keep them active and mentally stimulated especially the ones that are ready to rock and roll! I am always available to give updates and even FaceTime so the owners have peace of mind. I would expect that from anyone taking care of my fur baby as well. I am naturally a very active person and being able to play, walk and care for animals is something I genuinely enjoy doing, so pet care fits perfectly into my routine. I provide attentive, compassionate, and reliable care for pets in my home.I respect each pet owner’s instruction's, including feeding schedules, fresh water, exercise, playtime, medication (if needed), and maintaining a clean environment. I make pets feel safe and comfortable by giving them attention, monitoring their behavior, and respecting their routines.

About: I’ve taken care of animals for years. I have a dog and 2 cats . I love them a lot and they are my family. I am their voice and I believe in taking care of them. I have taken care of animals since 15 years old. I work full time but I have time between 10 am and 1pm. I don’t work weekends and i love taking dogs to the park and walking them. I keep my dog indoors but I do put a harness on my dog and I walk her as much as needed. I also play ball with her and if I am taking care of your dog I would be playing back with them as well
