Dog Walking Allendale

About: I have been dog-sitting since I was a child. Anytime my neighbors went out of town, they would ask me to take care of their dogs such as feeding them, playing with them, and taking them outside. One of them was a K-9. Since then I have volunteered at my local animal shelter, and I currently work with children who developmental disabilities such as autism. I’m currently working: Monday 3PM-6PM Tuesday 9AM-1PM, 3PM-6PM Thursday 9AM-1PM, 3PM-6PM Friday 2PM-5PM Saturday 9AM-12PM Any time not listed above is my availability. I have plenty of experience with dogs. I currently don’t have any of my own due to my household not allowing pets, but I grew up dog-sitting for my neighbors and have since volunteered at my local animal shelter.

“I had a great experience with Jackson walking my dog, Maggy. He was reliable, communicative, and sensitive to her needs—especially as a senior dog. It gave me real peace of mind knowing she was in such caring hands during the day. I look forward to booking him again and highly recommend him to anyone looking for a trustworthy and caring dog walker.”

“Loretta is a very reliable and very professional. She cares about the critters. I don't need to worry about my dog when Loretta has him.”

About: I worked as a behavioral tech for over a year where I learned all about behavioral training. I’ve had great success with my own dog at home. We have almost always had a dog in my house and know how important of a family member they are. I dog sit for several families when they go on vacation and have been doing this for about a year or so. My background is with children and have a lot of patience and love as a result! I am available full time as of right now. If this changes, I will update my availability ASAP. I wouldn’t be away from the home for very long most of the time. Any occasion where I would be away from the home for a significant amount of time, I would first make sure that the dog was completely cared for (fed, watered, pottied, and played with) before leaving. I will not be providing care in my own home. However, I do know of a dog park in the area as well as public parks for walks.

About: I’ve always loved animals and have grown up with dogs in my home. For the past 8 years, I’ve also had a cat who has taught me so much about patience, care, and the unique bond we share with our pets. Between my own pets and caring for friends’ cats and dogs, I’ve gained experience with different personalities, ages, and needs. Whether it’s daily walks, playtime, or quiet companionship, I truly enjoy making pets feel safe, happy, and loved. Pet care is naturally part of my daily life since I’ve always had animals at home. I love starting and ending the day with walks, playtime, or cuddle sessions. Because I currently have a very flexible schedule, I can easily fit in feeding, exercise, and companionship throughout the day, making sure pets feel loved and cared for just like they would with their own family. In my home or in a client’s home, I focus on making pets feel safe, comfortable, and loved. I follow the routines they’re used to feeding schedules, walks, playtime, or quiet companionship so they feel at ease. I give lots of attention, cuddles, and exercise when needed, and I’m always careful to keep their environment clean, calm, and stress-free. Every pet is unique, and I make sure to adjust to their needs so they feel cared.

About: I'm a lifelong animal lover and have cared for many dogs and cats. I have owned and provided care for both young and senior pets and those needing special care. Your cherished pets will get lots of TLC, affection and exercise, and I will care for them as if they were my own! I am retired and have a very flexible schedule to care for your cherished pets. I provide hourly, daily, and overnight services in your home. I will provide lots of TLC for your cherished pets in your home. I will play with them, feed them, and meet all their needs, including special diets and needed medication. I will walk your dogs and take them to the dog park if you wish. I will diligently follow your instructions and guidance and will treat your pets as if they were my own.

“Courtney came over to visit our dog a week prior to walking. She’s super friendly, reliable, communicative, and awesome, and we are so excited to have her back to walk him!”

About: I’ve taken care of many different dog breeds and sizes, each with individual needs. I grew up with dogs and cats and have experience from bottle feeding newborn kittens to giving medications to senior pets. My schedule is very flexible, offering pet parents with a variety of pet care support to meet their needs. I work with clients to provide a schedule that works for them. Having fur family members in my home already does not allow for me to provide in my home support. I provide my pet clients with detailed notes on their pet followed by pictures, putting pet owners at ease while away from their fur babe/babies.

“Shawna is such an amazing dog walker! I am very particular on who is around/handles my dog and she has always gone above and beyond to make sure my dog is safe and happy! It’s such a huge piece of mind knowing that he’s is getting exercise while I’m at work. She always leaves the best reports for me to read after their walks 😊 Thank you Shawna for loving my dog as much as I do!”

About: Hi! I’m a lifelong dog lover with nearly 10 years of experience caring for dogs. I’ve owned a Chihuahua, Beagle, and currently a dog mom to a 5 year old pitbull! So I’m comfortable with all sizes, energy levels, and personalities. I’ve also dog sat for friends and family, providing dependable, loving care every time. I have open availability and prioritize safe, fun, and attentive walks. Whether your dog needs exercise, patience, or extra affection, I’ll treat them like my own and make sure they feel happy and comfortable while you’re away. I am currently working part time on Tuesday through Saturday with a rotating schedule so I have open availability and also a very flexible schedule. In a client’s home, I’m respectful of your space and keep things tidy while giving your pet consistent care and companionship.

During walks and visits, I focus on safety, using secure leashes and staying aware of surroundings, while also making sure your dog gets plenty of exercise and attention. I’m attentive to each dog’s personality and energy level, whether they need active play or a slower, more relaxed pace.

“Ashely is wonderful with my golden, has fantastic communication & is very reliable. Highly recommend!”

About: I’ve had pets all my life and love animals. I am a writer and work from home, so I want to earn extra income doing something I love/am good at. I’ve walked and house sat for families with multiple pets since I was 18 years old. I have even cared for guinea pigs! I have 1 dog and 2 cats of my own who are my children. I work from home on my own schedule, so I can make most pet care routines fit into my schedule. I also have my husband to share responsibility of our own pet’s care with so I can commit to your pet’s routine. I do not take pets in my own home as I have my own animals, but I will go stay at your home or stop by for check ins.

About: I have grown up with dogs of all sizes(and cats) and have been asked by many to take care of their pets while they are absent and so I know what type of attention I need to give to an animal when they need it. I also pay good attention to medications if one needs it. I love to play with dogs and cats, and make sure they get all of the exercise they need. I’m comfortable around all animals, and I’m willing to adapt and learn how to take the best care of them! I dedicate all of my time making sure that they feel loved, and energized while playing or just going on a walk. I have three dogs of my own, a German Shepard, and two Heelers, and they are very energetic, so I learned how to play with them according to their needs. Im home most of the day, so I am available for drop ins or walks, and can accept last minute bookings! With how busy life can be, I want to be able to take one less worry off your plate, and care for your animals in the way they need, so you can also take the care that you need. Currently, I have a part time job in the mornings, Monday through Wednesday, so I have plenty of time in my schedule for any fur baby! I have three dogs and two cats, so I’m not able to watch your furbabies at my house, however I would be more than happy to watch them at your house, or just take them for walks!

“Jahquan was great with my boy Mijo. Mijo is currently passed out from his long walk to the park. Thank you so much Jahquan, Mijo and I look forward to seeing you again.”

I've have two dogs and one cat who I care for on a daily. I also have years of experience babysitting dogs. I'm currently on summer break so I have more time freely to invest in pet care.
