Dog Walking Almont

About: I’ve owned and taken care of animals since I was a young girl. I got my first puppy in second grade and she was with me until I turned 18. She was a Boston, so I know the special care and attention that brachys need. My current pup is an 8 year old, slightly reactive German Shepherd. I am able to accommodate various needs to make your pup more comfortable. I cannot remember the last time we have went for a walk at a “normal” time haha. I also have a lot of experience caring for elderly dogs and can lift, hand feed, prepare special meals, tidy messes, etc. I currently dog sit twice a week for a family member (though am unsure how long it will be continuing) and am in school full time online alongside extracurricular activities. I am chronically ill and currently unable to work a “normal” job, so dog sitting allows me to do something I love while also prioritizing my own health. The only set times where I am busy are Tues/Thurs after 8pm, Fridays at 5-6pm, & Sundays from around 10-1pm (until 5/24, then just 10-11:30 am). I currently offer in house dog sitting/check ins, which means I can come check on your fur baby in the comfort of your own home. My responsibilities for my current gig are making sure pup is fed, let outside multiple times (if it is not just warm enough to let him hang out in the yard as long as he wants), and some basic cleaning (bathroom, kitchen, vacuuming, mopping floors). I would be happy to discuss this sort of thing with you as well!

“Rebecca was very pleasant and professional. She handled the boys well and helped burn their pent up energy. Thanks!”

“Lindsay is fantastic! Our skittish sheltie warmed up to her because of her kindness and patience and his walks with her were the highlight of his day. We will definitely use Lindsay again. Highly recommend.”

About: As a dedicated dog caregiver, I’ve spent years providing loving care to various breeds. As a trusted adult by family and friends, I prioritize each dog’s unique needs, ensuring they feel safe, happy, and loved. I do my best and more to create a nurturing environment where pets thrive. Bring a dog caregiver perfectly complements my part time job by allowing me to structure my day around both responsibilities. This role not only offers companionship but also ensures I remain active and engaged throughout the day. As a dog caregiver, I provide a personalized care in both my home and client’s homes. In my home, I create a safe and welcoming environment with plenty of space for play and relaxation. I maintain a consistent routine for feeding, exercising, and bathroom breaks to ensure each dog feels secure. In clients homes, I follow their specific guidelines while bringing my own warmth and attention. I focus on keeping their pets comfortable, engaging them in activities, and maintaining a clean environment.

About: While growing up on a farm, I have always loved caring for dogs, cat, and horses with various needs. Friends and family have trusted me with their four legged companions of all sizes for many years. Whether your dog needs to burn some energy on a fun walk or your cat needs a friendly drop-in visit, I can't wait to meet them! 🐾 I currently have a very sweet Australian Shepherd, an extra fluffy cat, and four gentle horses and two donkeys - all with unique personalities and needs. I work remotely from home, so my schedule is relatively flexible. I'm more than happy to spend time with your pet, ensuring they receive proper care and attention. My backyard is fenced in, with plenty of room to play ball or practice agility. I respect other pet owner's space and home, as well as rules for handling or caring for their pets, ensuring I am both assertive and friendly.

About: I love pets and handle almost any type of temperament :) Living in the Del Ray area, I've had many opportunities to interact with different breeds and I've never had a dog I couldn't taken care of. I guess it's a natural ability for me and I'm looking forward to meeting your pets as well! So what are you waiting for? Let's schedule a meet and greet! I'm available on most weekends and can provide most services that Rover has to offer so feel free to send me message and we can find a time that's right to meet up. There's also a discount for Del Ray residences so don't forget to ask about that ;) Looking forward to meeting you and your lovely pets!

About: I have been a part time dog sitter, cat sitter, house sitter, etc since I was 10 years old. I've also been a volunteer at my local animal shelter since I was 15. I've taken care of old dogs, young dogs, energetic dogs, couch potato dogs, friendly dogs, shy dogs, big dogs, small dogs, you name it. I've been doing this a long time and I've gotten really good understanding each pet and their individual needs. Every dog is different, and I love them all. I also have experience with dogs who need medications and ear drops, and I am Red Cross certified in Pet First Aid! I provide pet care full time, helping owners have peace of mind when they have to leave their buddies behind for a trip, or to go to work, it makes me happy knowing I can help out people and animals who could use an extra set of hands. I have an active personal life, always making plans friends and family, but offering services on here allows me to plan my leisure time around times I'm needed for pet care. Firstly, I want to say I understand meeting people online and inviting them into your home can be very anxiety inducing, and I want to reassure you that with me, your pet, your house, and your belongings are safe. If you have ANY questions or concerns, please let me know. I'm here to help answer anything that could cause you worry. Your pets are part of the family and I understand staying safe is a priority. When I personally am trusted to stay in someone's home, I usually stick around the same area of the house out of habit. I keep food where it belongs to prevent mishaps, and keep things off the floor to prevent injuries of their me or pets. When going for walks I like to stick to trails or sidewalked areas that have decent cell reception, just in case. I keep treats with me, extra bags, and have a phone holder for my wrist so I can have a hand free, especially for dogs who get excited from wildlife and could suddenly pull really hard anytime. I keep a pop up bowl and a bottle for water breaks. Before going for longer walks I touch test the path in case they are too hot. I also have experience putting jackets on dogs in the colder months.

About: I have cared for and owned all different kinds of animals. I have been in the horse riding industry since I was 8 years old so I am not skiddish towards other animals. I truly have a passion for animals and I am very able and willing to do what it takes to take care of your beloved pets!! I am currently a full time student, however I am a commuter so I have the ability to travel freely in between classes and outside of classes. I am on summer break from May-September and have a virtually free schedule for whatever you may need! I am more than happy to confine to whatever you may need me to do in order to give your pet the best care possible. I have slept over, done drop ins, walks, etc. with other dog and cat sitting jobs and I am very comfortable.

About: I’ve taken care of multiple dogs my whole life. Currently have 4 dogs of my own. One of the 4 is a senior dog. I have done beginning training for puppies before they went to their forever homes. Also have experience with dogs that have health conditions and need daily medication. I currently am taking the summer off of work, so I will have all the time in the day to care for and play with your pets! I will regularly let your dog out. If needed, I have experience with e-collars and how to properly use them. I can also crate your dog.

About: I've taken care of my own dogs since I was 9 years old. We had three German shepherds in our family at once so we kept them busy with walks and a lot of play time. We now have our fourth German shepherd who relies on me to walk, bathe, and feed her. I've taken care of my friends dogs and have enjoyed every minute of it. I'm currently not working so I can take care of pets during the entire day. I work around the needs of my pet. I will play or walk her in the morning as well as a nighttime walk or car ride, which she enjoys more than the walk! She receives multiple potty breaks throughout the day as well. My dog has an electric fence so she plays fetch for hours. We also live near multiple parks and paths to take her on walks. I am comfortable walking within subs, on dirt roads, or driving to any location to make sure your pet receives the proper care and exercise for the day depending on their needs.

About: I have 21 years of comfortability around pets (since I was born) and 3 years of professional pet sitting experience with both dogs & cats :). I have experience with senior pets & puppies! I have a part time job but my shifts are usually less than 8 hours. **if your pet cannot be left alone for 6-8 hours please give me at least 3 weeks of notice so I can make sure my work schedule is aligned to their needs.** I treat my pets with love, care, and as a part of my family! I would do the same with your pets to make them feel as safe and at home as possible.

About: Hello! I’m experienced with boarding tasks (feeding, administering medications, etc.), basic training, and in-home pet care. While I can't host pets at my place, I love coming to yours for walks, backyard play sessions, and overnight stays. **Dogs:** Happy to tire them out with walks, play, and potty breaks. **Cats:** Patient and gentle — I'll take the time to earn their trust. Previously worked with a small pet care business visiting clients' homes, so I'm comfortable following your specific instructions and treating your space with respect. Your pet stays happy at home. You stay worry-free. It’s a win-win! I’m currently working part-time at a dog kennel so I’m usually working 2-3, 8 hour or 6 hour shifts a week. If asked about requests in advance, I may be able to request time off to accommodate client needs. I don’t have the room to board dogs or cats in my current situation, however I am very experienced with boarding tasks and basic training. I absolutely love taking walks or just doing some play sessions in the backyard and enjoy getting kitties to warm up to me. I would mainly be looking for walks/play and potty visits, or pet sitting in the owner’s home.

About: I have experience with small and large animals. You name it, I’ve probably taken care of it. From farm animals to companion animals to some exotics.
