Dog Walking Altoona

About: My Pet Care Experience I have been surrounded by animals my entire life. Growing up, my family raised a high energy Jack Russell Terrier, which taught me a lot about patience, smart play styles, and managing bold personalities. Today, my fiancé and I share our home with a happy Golden Retriever/Labrador mix and a 2 month old kitten. Caring for them daily keeps me sharp on big-dog stamina, training reinforcement, and the delicate routine needed for a growing kitten. What Sets Me Apart Multi-Breed Comfort: I am equally comfortable with small, fast-paced terriers and large, strong retrievers. Puppy & Kitten Experience: Raising a 2 month old kitten means I am used to active supervision, tracking strict feeding schedules, and managing young pet energy. Owner Peace of Mind: Because I am a pet parent myself, I know how hard it is to leave your babies behind. I focus on clear communication and sending frequent photo updates so you know they are safe and happy. My Availability & Schedule I offer flexible daytime and evening care tailored around my weekly class and work schedule. I am strictly available for Dog Walking and Drop-In Visits during the following times: Sunday & Monday: Fully available all day and evening. Tuesday: Available for morning and afternoon visits. Wednesday: Fully available all day and evening. Thursday: Available for afternoon and evening care. And weekends if needed. Because I prioritize the safety and comfort of my own pets at home, I do not offer overnight house sitting or boarding services. This allows me to dedicate 100% of my energy to focused, high-quality walks and quick drop-in care for your fur babies! My Approach to Client-Home Care & Safety Because I strictly offer Dog Walking and Drop-In Visits, my priority is keeping your pet safe, happy, and comfortable right in their own familiar environment while respecting your home. For Drop-In Visits (Dogs & Cats): Arrival & Security: I enter your home carefully to ensure pets don't slip out the door. I strictly follow your entry, alarm, and lock-up instructions. Routine & Care: I stick closely to your specific feeding, fresh water, and medication schedules. For cats, I handle litter box scooping and clean up any messes. Attention & Play: I dedicate my full visit to keeping your pets company, offering plenty of focused playtime, scratches, and mental stimulation. For Dog Walking:Safety First: I always check that collars, harnesses, and leashes are secure before stepping outside. I keep dogs on a secure, short leash and avoid interactions with unknown dogs on the street. Weather & Hydration: Living in Florida, I make sure the pavement isn't too hot for their paws, keep walks a comfortable pace, and ensure they have plenty of fresh water immediately when we get back. I always wrap up every single visit by ensuring your home is perfectly locked up and sending you a quick summary with cute photo updates!

About: I have experience with dogs of all ages from puppies to seniors, and I can even administer medications, if needed. To me this won't just be another job or a check-in, I want to get to know your dog, cuddle them, and have playtime with them for enrichment. Puppies each have their own personalities and I have taken care of pups with challenging and sassy personalities, including my own 6 month old coonhound who is super independent. I can train puppies, so if you are working long hours and need help with potty training, crate training, or mastering basic commands such as sit, I would love to help you with that while I'm there! My schedule is currently open for the entire summer, Monday through Sunday. If I am needed early morning hours or late evening hours, I am also open to discussing this. During in-home check-ins for dogs, only with your approval, I will give your pup treats for training purposes. Typically I will use single pieces of your dog's kibble to motivate them in learning commands. When it comes to cats, if you are hiring me to take care of your cat while you are gone for work or a trip, I will treat them as an indoor-only cat, no exceptions.

About: I’ve been walking dogs for a while, and I really enjoy spending time with them. I’m good at handling different kinds of dogs, whether they’re super energetic or more relaxed. I always make sure they get a safe and fun walk, and I pay attention to what each dog needs. I’m responsible, I show up on time, and I treat every dog like they’re my own pet. I’m available every day and pretty much all the time. I can walk dogs in the mornings, afternoons, or evenings, and I’m flexible if you need last-minute help. Just message me, and I can fit your dog into my schedule whenever you need. I always keep dogs safe by paying attention and walking in good areas. I’m responsible and make sure each dog is treated with care. I want owners to feel like they can trust me with their pets.

“Amber is the absolute best!! She was immediately at ease with our big exuberant i German Shepherd dog. Our Paisley absolutely loved her. The walks were a point of excitement and the highlight of every day. I can’t recommend Amber highly enough..”

About: I have lots of experience caring for neighbors and friends pets - dogs, cats, rabbits, fish, guinea pigs! I do have a cat of my own so I would prefer to care for animals in their owners home, however my availability right now is completely open! I recently graduated from nursing school and am awaiting my boards exam, and am looking for some opportunities for cash in the meantime! I worked at a veterinary hospital for eight months during my time in nursing school, and absolutely love animals of all kinds. It fits perfectly for me at the moment, as I am mostly spending my time right now studying for my boards exam. I do prefer to care for pets in their owners home, but I do have full availability, at least for the next few months! I have a cat who suffers from stomach issues and is on a special prescription diet with supplements. At my apartment complex there is a dog park, and plenty of space to walk dogs. I am free to stay in an owners home to care for their pets and walk them as many times as needed. I am also very good with communication!
